Thanks for your response and time. I so much appreciate. One last question is this, since ECA lats for 5years, can I start that now while waiting for IELTS Exam time to write my exam or it has to be after my IELTS exams?
ECA and IELTS are completely separate things, you can safely start you ECA process without worrying about IELTS.

For ECA look here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

Scroll down to the "Designated organizations for ECAs" and pick one.

I did mine with WES, it was quick but I found their customer service to be VERY BAD! So I wouldn't recommend them... The good thing is that they have a free assessment on their website, so you can see what you'll get before you start the whole thing.

Thanks for your response. I already checked for for my NOC and I can be categorized under NOC 2234. As for the ECA, am I sending transcript or scanned copy of my credentials?

For that you must check with the accredited institution you've chosen to evaluate your credentials. Most, I believe, need sealed mailed directly form your institution. But get in touch with them to get the right information.

Hi all,

In my post ITA form i have a question

How much money (in Canadian dollars) will "X" bring to Canada to support themselves and their family?

I have answer "0" (zero)

as i have received an invitation through CEC

Is that the right thing to do?

I have also mention in my LOE that i have been not asked to submit any proof of funds as i have been invited to apply through CEC

With a CRS score of 472, I'm looking forward to the draw tomorrow but I have few apprehensions. I have 3+ yrs of exp but i'm not confident about my first job in which my designation was only Team Member. I worked in the back end ops of an International bank for 1.5 yrs. I'm unable to get a ref letter on co. letterhead but can get an affidavit from a senior. I satisfy the roles and responsibilities of NOC 1114 but i'm bit circumspect with my designation and lack of co. letterhead. If i drop this exp from my profile, my CRS falls to 444 but i'll be more confident about my application.

Please advise if i should drop my 1.5 work ex and wait for CRS scores to fall to 444 or go ahead with existing score.

Yes. You can do this if you were invited to apply under CEC. In the LOE, mention that you are not submitting any POF because you are applying under CEC.

Designation doesn't matter. What matters are your roles and responsibilities. Also, some companies do not mention all details required by IRCC on the letterhead. You can try and get an e-mail from your company stating that they will not issue a letter in the format that is being requested. You can submit a reference letter from a colleague, get it notarized and submit it along with a business card and/or ID card of the employee signing the letter.

I will answer your question, if you answer mine first. Does having a record of breaking traffic law in China, affect ones chances of getting driver's license in Cyprus?

Dude, for Canada PR you need to show everything. Where you are, what you do, status if not in the country of origin.

Illegal stay in the US is a BIG red flag!!
