The rest (10 years before now) you can mention in the personal history, after ITA.
Hi Everyone,
Could you please suggest when is the next expected Express Entry CIC draw date, as I am hoping to get my ITA this time as my current score is 428 and recent draw on 1st March had 434 as the cut off score, so based on the historicals if the score drops 6 point as it has been in the past, then I should get through.
However, I would like to know expected draw date so I can be prepared for it.
My guess is 15th or 16th March based on historicals, though would like to get someone to cross confirm on the same.
Thank you for all your help.
Regards,
Ameer

Hi all,
Quick question for those of us that have done freelance work in the past.
I've obtained all the reference letters from my employers for the last 10 years BUT there was a period after my Masters
where I was freelancing for 2/3 companies working on stand alone projects for about 4-5 months before I got a permanent job.
A lot of these people I have worked with have moved on to different organisations or disappeared all together.
1) Would it be accepted to approach these organisation using proof of work done with their ex employees / superiors and asking for a 1 page letter confirming the project was done?
Alternatively would I approach these ex employees and ask them to please sign a reference letter based on the project work and include their current business cards? Then get this notarised?
2) I'm currently unemployed and have been looking for work seriously for the past 3 months. My Dad passed away suddenly in Jan 2016 and I worked briefly from March to June 2016
but majority of time was spent settling my Dad's estate and going to court to sort out legalities and being the main support for my Mum at home.
Do you think CIC would accept all email correspondence with the Fortune 500s I have applied to work with in that time till now to show I was looking for work but unable to obtain
it because of personal circumstances and due to these companies being unable to meet my current salary? I have emails inviting me for interviews for some and others confirmation
Ive applied to the role and others emails from the interviewer explaining why they cant hire me. Or is this too much info / not of interest to CIC?
Any feedback would be much appreciated as I couldn't explain the gap in employment otherwise.

Hi,checkmimails@gmail.com said:
My understanding is that when traveling between your home country and any other country, the journey begins when you leave your home country and ends when you return.
I would enter it this way:
10 June 2011 - 5th Sept 2013 USA
16th Oct 2013 - 15th Sept 2016 USA
1st Nov 2016 - Till date USA
All the best.
Hello guys,
I am new to this thread and needed some clarification regarding the FSW and PNP programs.
I have a total CRS score of 408 in the express entry pool and my profile was submitted in November 2016.
Based on the recent express entry draws, do you guys anticipate that the minimum cut off would reach the 400 mark within the next few months?
Also, my profile has been submitted as FSW and the PNP details show as "Not Met". Would I have the option to switch the FSW to PNP option (for instance, the Ontario Nominee Program) later on in coming months if the cut off does not seem to drop to the 400 mark?
I am sorry I am not very clear on this - would really appreciate if anyone could help.
Regards,
Khalid

FSWP is Federal Skilled Worker Program. It is one of the economic immigration programs that is administered under Express Entry. To be eligible, you should score at least 67 points out of 100 in the FSW points grid.Mayfrias said:

Hi Friends,
Could someone please help me to advise on 2 things am worried about.
I've been working in Canada close to 3 years now under ICT. I got my ITA under CEC on Dec 22nd and submitted the PR application on Feb 05th. I've utilized the 50 points that CRA has offered for the people with valid job offers which is exempt from LMIA. My WP expires on 14th April, 2018, so is my job offer validity.
1.) Now I read below in CIC websites which states that the job offer should be valid for atleast a year from the time CIC issues a permanent resident visa. I don't think CIC will be able to make a final decision by April 13th 2017 and also I need get my PCC from Sigapore which would take another 1 month.
So I wanted to know if my application gets rejected or CIC will consider it.
A work permit on its own is not a job offer, even if it is an open work permit.
A job offer from an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada does not count as valid.
Federal Skilled Workers and Canadian Experience Class
A valid job offer has to be:
. made by one employer
. for continuous, paid, full-time work (at least 30 hours a week),
. for work that is:
a. for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
b. not seasonal, and
. in a job that is Skill Type 0, or Skill Levels A or B of the 2011 National Occupational Classification (NOC)
. you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:
a. are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
b. have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer and
c. have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa.
2.) My company has called for relocation and I've requested an extension till end of May this year. So, do I need to inform CIC that am leaving the country? or just be silent.
And what if I resigns my current company and be in Canada until a final decision is made and if all going well and the application gets approved, I can stay back.
Request seniors/anyone in this group help me as worried alot.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Guys,
I work with an MNC, and can only get reference letter from the online tool of my company.
We don't get any stamped letters but a digitally signed letter from HR.
The main issue is that, it only mentions your name, designation, date of joining and date of relieving/currently working but it doesn't provide any details regarding Roles and Responsibilities and its strictly written in the company website that only this information will be provided for reference letter and nothing else.
is there any way around and does CIC entertain that ?
Will highly appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!

Hi Seniors,
My work experience is as follows:
Employer A - 1 year with NOC X
Employer B - 1 year with NOC Y
I am currently working for Employer B and I do not wish to claim points for that. so do I have to state that in the EE profile? can I just ignore Employer B? will this be a problem as I would need to explain the reason for unemployment if I do not disclose employer B???
