Express Entry 2015 Preparation Join Here !!!

Also, there is a lot information already here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2014-12-01.asp

For instance:
- Timeline:
- 1st draw: end of january;
- After draw, applicants will have up to 2 months to send documents digitally;
- Once your documentation is accepted the 6 months time will start to count;
- FSW: ECA is necessary;
- FST and CEC: ECA not necessary, optional;
- Misrepresentation ban: upped from 2 to 5 years;

The criteria should be the same as today. For FSW, it's this one, it won't change: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

The timeline also tells me there won't be a big impact on the processing of Applications at the CIO until February. After that it's a possibility.

There is this line confirming that not all applicants will need ECA:
Note: If you are hoping to apply to the Federal Skilled Worker Program, you must have an ECA. If you are hoping to apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program or Canadian Experience Class, an ECA is optional, but it may help you earn more points for education on the CRS and improve your chances of being drawn from the pool.

So it is not mandatory - but recommended because it get's you ahead.

Points for each CLB: "in my case 23+31+31+31= 116"

Thank you, +1

Would you please also confirm if my understanding is right for the below(I think it is...wishing it wasn't because that means less points)?

Foreign work experience

I have +6 years work experience abroad, but I have one CLB 8.
Does that mean 25 points, instead of 50, right? Just because one CLB is below 9...

On the cic site it is written:

3 years or more of foreign work experience

- Points for foreign work experience + CLB 7 or more on all first OL abilities, one or more under 9: 25 points
- Points for foreign work experience + CLB 9 or more on all four first OL abilities: 50 points

Yes, unfortunately that's correct.

I recommend you retake the IELTS again to improve your scores... the language points don't suffer as much, it's on the Skill Transferability Factors that a lower IELTS takes a bigger toll.

They really want applicants with a very high english level.

I am so confused about EE rules. They say there is no specific occupation list to be eligible under EE and on other hand you have to be eligible under skiller worker or skilled trade program to enter pool. Now, I am a pharmacist and its not in skilled occupation list. so I am not eligible for skilled worker program. Can I still post my profile under Express Entry ? Thanks in advance !!!

I am sure some more information is yet to come. Information about the eligible occupations usually comes only a couple days before the program is to begin. So more information should be out late December.

What is an open work permit?

An open work permit is a work permit that is not job-specific. Because it is not job-specific, no job offer or authorization from Employment and Social Development Canada (known as a Labour Market Impact Assessment, or LMIA) is needed.

It means Students who have open work permit do not need any LMIA

am I correct
