ATTENTION: Steps for Jobbank job match registration for Express Entry

[Arthur GOLDWAY]

[Hello,

I want to withdraw mu EE profile and recreate again. How can I link it to my jobbank please? I do already have an active jobbank account.
Thanx in advance

In job Bank, go to User Account and chose 'Update Express Entry' information' tab. This will ask for your new express entry profile no. and new job seeker code. Put these in and make sure your job bank is activated.

I have got a quick question.

- I created an Express Entry Profile and received the job seeker code.
- I registered in the job bank using the job seeker code and received a confirmation.

This was done a day ago, but my application status is still "Pending Additional Criteria". Any idea how long it takes for the status to be updated after the job bank registration(It has already been a day).

Any response would be highly appreciated.

Hi, I am trying to register to jobbank for a few days, but I dont receive any confirmation e-mail! I tried hotmail and gmail, none of them worked (checked the spams as well). Any advice?

Same here, not able to get confirmation code through email. Anybody know what is going on

 

[Balkanlii]

I got my confirmation e-mail now, around 14 hours later than I tried to register. Fyi.

Once you apply for Express Entry, CIC will send a message with those details. You CANNOT register as Job Seeker without Express Entry profile.

Are you sure? Can i register in job bank if i havent made my profile/account yet?

Hello Sana,

Job bank registrations is no longer a mandatory requirement. Honestly speaking, when I applied for Express Entry, 1st January 2015, rules were a lot different back then. I haven't read the requirements since then but I'm sure they are clearly laid out on the official Expres Entry page.

Hi,

I had received my ITA and submitted it too. Now I was trying to register with the Job Bank with the application number and job seeker code as received in the pdf. But I'm getting the following message at Step 3:

Error: You have entered an invalid Express Entry Profile Number and/or Job Seeker Validation Code. To avoid errors, you should copy and paste these codes directly from the message in your MyCIC account. If you are still having problems registering with Job Bank using these codes, please go to CIC Help Centre at http://cic.gc.ca/english/contacts for more information.

Is anyone else facing this issue? Can someone please help?

Why are you registering with Job Bank though? It's no longer required for the Express Entry process and it's all but useless - no one ever gets a job from Job Bank. The rumor is that most of the Job Postings in there are just 'dummy' postings to help Companies easily satisfy requirements for procuring LMIA's for already selected candidates...

Oops. I genuinely thought that one can get a job from the portal. Which other portals shall I look at for securing a job then?

Unless you work for an international firm willing to transfer you to their Canadian offices, or you have some stellar personal contacts in Canada with whom you can network to help you find employment, it's almost virtually impossible to find employment in Canada before you get PR and, preferably, move there. Before that point, unless you have an open Canadian work permit, you won't be authorized to work which makes you a much less ideal candidate than people who already have Canadian work authorization, of which there are plenty.
