Its near to a great joke by CIC.........! Astonish got 208/600 & selected in 3rd draw wow....... Look like he/she has only 1 year or less post secondary education & age around 35, Most probably these are from FSTP not from FSWP :o
 
Hi! Does anyone have any idea as to 'if it is compulsory to have general test result- I took the academic previously and I would like to use it"

Look forward to your replies, Best,

I assume Astonish got 208/600 + 600 to meet the 808 required rank.

Guys, is there anything we can do to get that 600? I think even the nomination program is now under EE?

Minimum band required is 6 in each.

I cant predict your score, sorry for that.
 
Hi All,

Can we create separate profiles for Express Entry for both mine & my spouse (Different occupations/NOC)? ???

We both have cleared our IELTS and received ECA report from WES.
I have created my profile and got total score 378.

Manthan

Hi All,

My Name is Abhijit, I need your urgent support.

I have done B.Tech ( electronics and communication ) & MBA ( IIPM ), I need to do ECA from WES.

For B.tech i have already got the documents sealed and stamped FOC but for IIPM they are asking INR 10,000, which is too high for me.

Questions :

Shall I go only for B.Tech ECA done ?
or, Shall I go for B.tech and MBA as well ?
How much point difference will be there as I am unable to find any point difference as B.tech is already a professional degree.

How many point will I get for B.tech / B.Tech & MBA ??

Please help me !!!

Response awaited.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Abhijit

For my case, they have counted my Master degree though I have cleared my PGDBM through distance learning.
