I would recommend re-taking IELTS. If you can improve your scores in reading and writing, then your express entry score will bump up by huge margin. Instead of waiting for 7 months, this is the quickest route to take.

What about your IELTS/CELPIP language scores? CLB 9 or more can increase your score. Also, do not travel outside of the country until you have completed your 1-year experience. If you go out, you will also need to cover those days in Canada to claim your 1-year experience.

I have no idea if that is possible. However, did you not applied for PR? With 4 years of work experience in Canada, you might get good points and will qualify under CEC. You might already knew this but thought of posting in case you haven't thought about it.

In my case, I applied for my wife's OWP, along with my ICT application. Both of them got approved within 3 weeks time frame. However, there could be cases, where it might take longer. Keep your fingers crossed!! Which visa status does she currently have?

Hi Anil, Ping me your email or phone number. I can connect with you directly and provide some guidance on what to write. I did not get any help here for my request, so finally I did it on my own. I can share my experience.

If you want to use Canadian work experience to get more points, than you must work for at least an year. Other options would be considering a provincial nomination program, depending on the province you are, you might be able to kick off this process right away in January. Also if you are only...

Hi Anika, Did you received your open work permit? If so, could you please advise from where you applied and how long it took? I applied for Intra company transfer, my wife's open work permit & my child TRV online from USA on 8/3 and I got my approval but their petitions are still pending. I was...

Hi Priyanka, Where did you applied for your open work permit? US or somewhere else? I applied for my ICT on 8/3 in US and waiting for result. Thank you.

I think you may be able to use a LMIA exempt job offer for EE but I would suggest confirming with an immigration lawyer. Also will your employer be willing to support you to get a PR in this way? PR process can take longer 6 months or beyond and if you use a job offer, you need to have that job...

Employer will have to file for a work permit under Intra Company Transfer category. It has nothing to do with Express Entry pool. I think you are probably referring to getting a PR thru Express Entry, with a job offer that adds 50 points to the profile.

Thank you for your response and congratulations for ITA. Good luck!!

Thank you again for your response. I really appreciate your responsiveness. In my case I applied from US, so I think I need to apply for TRV after I receive an approval. Btw, Did you guys moved to Canada? How do you like it so far?
