Express Entry in a nutshell

[Sher001]

Hi friends,

Is 441 Score good enough for express entry?
My date of birth is 21/10/85. My CRS score is 441 if i consider 33 age and 445 points if i consider 32 age. Is this score good enough, also I got my WES Reference number yesterday.

Should I ask my spouse to give IELTS which can potentially increase my CRS score to 7-10 points or no need.

Appreciate your advice.

Lately 440 cut off have been very steady, you can take a chance but if your spouse has done the IELTS already then include it. If not and you're pressed for finances then you can still submit a profile with 441 and see what happens in the next draw, i think chances are you most likely will get an ITA in the next draw.

Thank you for your answer.
If my score is even higher than 462 (that is 540 as per my calculation), Would that increase any chances of speeding up the process or Will that be same as everyone who will receive ITA irrespective of scores?



I will appreciate your kind response.

It will be the same. The amount of time taken on applications is not based on points.

Hello everyone.

I am a citizen of India staying in Qatar. Do i have to go for Biometrics? Does Biometrics depends on the nationality or residence country?

Hey!

I have recently received ITA and now I'm in the process of collecting the papers to apply.

By far everything was alright, however, I realised that at I may have a problem with proving my work experience, since the CEO and the owner of the company I'm working at is one of the members of my family.

It is not clear right away, I mean the company name does not contain our family name or smth like that. But after some research online they might find it out, and I believe they will have some bias towards it.

Is it a real problem? May they ask me to get some extra proofs of my work experience?

Note: my family member is not my supervisor at work.

Ontario revises CRS minimum rule for Human Capital Priorities Stream
Whereas candidates previously were required to have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 400, the stream’s guidelines now say the minimum score will be “as determined by the director.”

The CRS cut off for 25th July draw was 441.

Hi,

I am applying for PR under Canadian Experience Class. Do I have to include my tax assessment statements anywhere?

For Proof of Funds, there are two sections under instructions: one for Temporary Residents and another for those applying for PR. Under instructions for Temporary Residents they ask for a lot of documents including tax info. While I am applying for PR, I am also a temporary resident in Canada at present being a work permit holder. Right now, as proof of funds I have included a letter from my bank and bank statements for the last 6 months, as per instructions under PR section. So, I don't know if I need to include my tax info either under Proof of Funds or Job section.

Thanks in advance!

I have 3 years of part time experience while I was in high school, could I still count that towards work experience?

Also, I have 434 (not considering the 3 years of work experience abroad), could I still be considered or is 440 the bare minimum?

Hello Friends
I want to ask about my job title,that is I am working as a lower division clerk in an organisation but I m not able to find my NOC my job duties are matching with Administrative Assistant NOC 1241 but my designation is LDC will this makes problem? My profile gets refused due to this? Please help me

As long as the duties match the NOC code and any reference letter obtained from employer can support that. Employer reference letter is needed after being selected from the pool.

Anything above 440 is a clear chance to get the ITA. Anything below it is a gamble. Unless you go the PNP way. But there is nothing like bare minimum. I am surprised why you wouldnt count the 3 years of work experience abroad?

Hi friends!

I'm planning to declare one of my employers where I had 3 years of experience as an analyst programmer. I perfromed the same role and responsibilities throughout this period but I have been promoted twice. And so my titles were the following:
Associate to Senior Associate to Executive.

Should I declare all of these titles? Or should I just declare the last one since I performed the same responsibilities anyway?

Thanks in advance!
