Express Entry in a nutshell

[suazo]

Hello Everyone, I have a question about creating my express entry profile now with my highest degree.
I just completed my Master of Business Administration degree about two weeks ago at Vancouver Island University in British Columbia,Canada. All my results are posted on student records and I have officially completed the course requirements. I will not be able to receive my certificate until the convocation date which is on the 8th of June,2016

The question is: Can I choose the Masters degree as the highest level of education now as I am yet to receive my official certificate?
I have done my language test and bachelors degree conversion with WES. Your suggestions please!!!

Thank you .

I believe you could do this. Talk to your university and ask them if they provide a provisional certificate that you could use until you get your degree certificate.

Thanks, Stanlee for you answer.

Actually, I started working part-time in this company from 6-Oct-2014 to 31-March-2015, during that time I was on the study permit. The same company in mid-March provided me a new contract from 1st-April-2015 to 08-Aug-2015. So I have two contracts issued by the company.
- First contract from 6-Oct-2014 to 31-March-2015 (Study permit and off-campus work permit)
- Second contract from 1st-April-2015 to 08-Aug-2015 (Post-graduate work permit)
- T4 issued by the company has one fiscal year information from Jan-2015 to Dec-2015, which covers both the contracts.

As you mentioned, I am going to use my second contract in work history section to get points for my Candian experience and both the contracts in personal history sections. Correct me, If I am wrong.


For proof of work experience,
1) employment letter
2) pay slips for my entire period
3) T4 tax slips

Do I need to give anyone of the above documents or all the above for the proof?

Hi Raj, Do you have any comments on the above content?

Hello Everyone
Quick question, I am about to submit my express entry profile just waiting on my IELTS test report form to arrive. According to my calculation my CSR points are 481. From your experience how long is the wait time for an ITA after you enter the pool/submit the Express entry profile.?

thank you, any response will be very much appreciated.

You will most likely get the ITA in the very next draw.

thank you!! this maybe a stupid question- If the cutoff is 460 or 470 does that mean all candidates that have CSR points above the cutoff gets an invitation?

Hi,

I completed B.Tech and Master in Business Administration (part time). I got these assessed by IQAS with certificate saying
'Bachelor's degree generally compares to the completion of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree..' and 'The post-graduate diploma generally compares to the completion of a Master of Business Administration degree..'

Now while filling the online application what should I select in 'Study' tab for level of education for each course?

1) Should I mention 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.' against each Study??
2) or should I mention 'Bachelor's degree' and 'Master's degree/diploma' separately for respective studies??

Will this affect my points?

Thanks Rajkamal Mohanram.

If I understand correctly,

I have to go for PNP.
Get the PR.
Approach the current employer for internal transfer -right?

One question-If it is 'Work from Home' or employment at US office-Will there be a problem after the Canadian PR?

Thanks
Nandhini

Once you get the PR visa, you need to "land" in Canada to become a PR. Once you land and activate your PR status, you are free to pursue any line of work.

One question-If it is 'Work from Home' or employment at US office-Will there be a problem after the Canadian PR?

I don't think work from home will be a problem. For employment at a US office, you might need a visa or some kind of permit to be able to work from the United States of America. Not sure about this.

Thanks

What is the final Canadian equivalency mentioned on the report? If you could post a Google Drive link to the report, I might be able to help you better. Please remove personal information and blackout the reference number before sharing the link.

Hi,

it shows as below in certificate:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byhl_Ug305o0TGlLYTBSVDFFWU45dFJBQTNrcWYyVnFqYXBN/view?usp=docslist_api

As of now, I've mentioned 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years' against both the rows in STUDY.
