I fully agree, i am now preparing for my IELTS and starting to gather my documents for this upcoming "Express Entry" system..an_mah said:Irrespective of the form and shape that the Express Entry may take there are a few things future applicants can do now (based on existing programs) to hit the ground running:
1. Get IELTS done for Self and Spouse.
2. Get reference letters for their intended NOC or atleast do the groundwork by informing supervisors / keeping text ready.
3. Maintain a healthy bank balance in line with current FSW reuirements.
4. Get ECA done for Self and if possible for Spouse too.
5. Make sure the Birth Certificates and Marriage certificates, where applicable, are correct and appropriate.
6. Identify relatives in Canada and let them know what kind of dcouments may be expected from them.
If CIC are going to pick and choose the candidates from a pool it would be advantageous to have as many points as possible rather than just clearing the cut-off.
All the best.
evanstp9 said:So they will also probably have to create a profile etc, entering the pool of candidates, in order to be able to apply through the various immigration programs...
Lets hope that they will not make LMIA a mandatory step for everyone, and they keep CEC as it is (although I have my doubts, I feel they want to control along with employers more the whole process)

sumi1982 said:Hi Friends,
Even I am waiting for the Express Entry as my profile is not currently in NOC list. I am wondering if there would be any such list under express entry system. As far as I have read, there is no minimum requirements like IELTS, experience, age etc. has mentioned anywhere. I hope the WES results would be applicable for EE also. Does anyone have any idea if spouse'IELTS score would be considered when calculating the points?
Regards,
