Advice on applying for PR

[uvsrsk]

Hi all,

I have a work experience in Canada for 2 years 2 months. I need some help & guidance for applying PR under CEC.

I need some advice on my queries below:

1. With the launch of Express Entry in 2015, is it an advantage or disadvantage - to apply for PR with out a job in hand, under CEC ?
2. For IELTS General, I need to get a score of 6 in every section ? I am not sure how hard IELTS is. Some guidance required here.

These are the questions I am concerned about now. Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards.

1- we still do not know the details about express entry. If you have the documents you should send your application out. Also remember by the time express entry is implemented, your PR application will be close to conpletion (if you apply soon).

2- it is very easy, but then again it depends on the individual. Why dont you do some mock up ielts test? You can find them in google.

If your are under NOC 0 or A then you should get CLB level 7 which in everything you should get 6 each
if NOC B then CLB 5 or ^ should be enough.
As still we have 8 months for the new express entry 2015 its better to apply now if you are ready enough.

Hello

I am a new member in this forum and have many doubts as per my limited research on Canada immigration program . I have attended consultant/immigration seminar (1 month back )and became interested for Express Entry for 2015 . I am interested because in this program i dnt have to quit my current job n take risk ,while i can give interviews from my country and apply PR once job is finalized and enter Canada .
1.) Consultant is charging 6000 $ for getting in Canada , in which services include 2 months(June/July) building profile - getting through EOI (expression of interest) , Aug-Oct - we will get interview calls and clear interview , Nov-Dec - applying PR based on job , Jan 2015 we enter Canada as per 2015 . I checked on govt website and currently total fees for PR is around 1200 $ . Is there any Canada immigration certification from govt. which people like me can rely before investing huge amount ( like Australia has got MARA )? What is the probability if i try form my side because i can fill all my paperwork but am not sure how will i get jobs since i cant contact employers , and no job means no PR as per express entry?
2.) Any advice you want to give me for applying PR after reading my above story ?
3.) As per me , there will be difference between skills in Canada IT technical job and in Indian IT industry , for example am Business Analyst by designation and its different from job description in Canada( checked on indeed.ca job portal) , so how will i be able to crack interview , or do i need to join some of the skills set in Canada because its all about cracking interview and getting PR from 2015 ?do you know any such online institute i can rely or any famous immigration services you want to suggest ,who can fulfill my requirements .
4.) My designation has 1 to many mappings like i worked on QA processes / analysis / which means i can apply for jobs as Business analyst , Qa tester , System analyst (job under FSW -NOC 2171) , so is it possible to apply for many openings so that my probability of cracking interview increases .

Thanks!!

We have very limited information on the new express entry program at this time.

1.) Consultant is charging 6000 $ for getting in Canada , in which services include 2 months(June/July) building profile - getting through EOI (expression of interest) , Aug-Oct - we will get interview calls and clear interview , Nov-Dec - applying PR based on job , Jan 2015 we enter Canada as per 2015 .

I can't tell you if your consultant is "legit" but I can tell you this - CIC always makes it possible to apply on your own, without a lawyer or consultant. Not everyone wants to, of course, and everyone's situation is different, sometimes a consultant or lawyer is helpful, even necessary.

3.) As per me , there will be difference between skills in Canada IT technical job and in Indian IT industry , for example am Business Analyst by designation and its different from job description in Canada( checked on indeed.ca job portal) , so how will i be able to crack interview , or do i need to join some of the skills set in Canada because its all about cracking interview and getting PR from 2015 ?do you know any such online institute i can rely or any famous immigration services you want to suggest ,who can fulfill my requirements .

Yes, one thing you can do now, on your own is to get your credential assessment done -

Another thing you can do is take the IELTS exam - results are valid for 2 years, and if for some reason you don't get the score you want now, you have time to study and re-take it.
