All you want to know about Express Entry

[sampun76]

Thanks Goku for collating all info on a single page. I am late for FSW 2014, so am waiting for EE and preparing myself.

I have one question. I am wondering how can someone like me who is an Indian citizen can have a job offer from a Canadian employer? Will the employer make a job offer just based on my resume? or they will conduct a telephonic interview?

Generally Canadian employers prefer other country candidate, if the talent is not found there. They are people who Crack jobs from India. The interview mostly would be telephonic.

it will be wonderful if you could secure a job offer while still in India but not a must. However, the higher are your points (67+++) the higher are chances to get Invitation to apply.


CIC copied the EOI system from Australian one. In its system Australia has preferable occupations, I suppose Canada will have them too.

So multiple factors will be important: occupation, demand for it in Canada, job offer (if any), amount of points. Maybe even a province where you claim you are going to live.

Hi, according to me express entry will be applicable to jobs that are mostly not related to office e.g chief, carpenter, painters.What I know Canadian employers do exhaustive background check before hiring decision. First of Canadian resume matters, secondly Canadian work experience and education matters.Thirdly interview skills and reference check matters.Finally criminal record and solvency check matters.Based on everything they takes decision.Not any of the good employer will go for this express entry process.Mainly in other skilled categories like cabinet making, painter, cooks can expect call from Canadian employers as in these categories people can show their fraud experiences.

Hello Friends!
I am new in here and planning to apply for EE 2015 as soon as it opens and for that i am collecting the required documents. Could any of you please confirm if i am on the right path ....

1) I with my wife will be giving IELTS by December 2014
2) I need to arrange police report from my country of birth and country of residence
3) to get EAC report from WES, now here i have a question. My wife also have a Bachelors of Engg Degree from one reputed university of pakistan. Do i need to send her educational documents also to WES? or should my documents as principal applicant are enough?
I know about additional points of spouse's IELTS and there are some for spouse's qualifications as well. How can i claim them?
4) do i need to get some attestation on Marriage Certificate as well?

Please let me know if there is anything more i can do prior to launch of EE.

Hei. Who told you that the last date of fswp 2014 is on 31 dec. Pls the minister said the EE will start on 1 jan 2015. The fswp 14 will close on april 30 2015. EE will run simulteously with FSWP until fswp ends.

Last day of submission of application will be DEC. 31, 2014

From my understanding,

" applications will be considered for processing for the period of May 1, 2014, until April 30, 2015, unless otherwise indicated in a future Ministerial Instruction ". -this is taken from CIC bulletin board

YES, indeed the program will last until April 30, 2015 for "processing". This is different from "submission".

Processing will start "after CIC received your application until receiving your PER (Positive Eligibility Review)".

Global trend PER received is 4months by average. So, if the cut-off date of submission of application is December 2014, expected date of releasing the PER will be April 2015.

So, for easy understanding..

FSW 2014 Submission cut off date- May 1, 2014 to Dec 31, 2014
FSW 2014 Processing cut off date - Apr. 30, 2015

You have to consider the length of time to receive PER which I think is the missing point why everybody thinks that the last day of submission is April 30, 2015.

CIC will never launch Express entry while having FSW program. My opinion.

Hi all,

+1 for you for clarifying the point

 

[Ghost88]

before it was called " Express Entry " and now it was changed to "Expression of Interest"? What's the difference?
