Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Krystine]

anyone is processing your PR application with multiple agencies? i.e. CEC with a help of A agency and PNP with a help of B agency. Would it be possible or is there any rule that a single applicant only can have a one single representative?

Hi All
I am new to this forum
I have few question and I would appreciate if anyone can guide me
I have already applied for the paper based PR process after getting the provincial nomination.
Now I am wondering if I am eligible to apply through express entry as the paper based process is 18 months.
Currently I have 6 months of experience as a manager. So will I be eligible once I complete a full year as a manager?
Or are there any other ways?

Hello all. I have a query regarding FST category if someone can help.
I am running my own business of Furnishings( which can be related to Carpenter in express entry) from the last 10 years in my home country. I don't have any diploma related to that. I don't have any degree also.
If I apply under FST category, how can I prove my experience. What all documents will berequired and do I need to get WES done for my 12th.

Hi,

Yes, it's in category C. Therefore, if he is the principle applicant you won't qualify.
Skilled experience is in NOC A, B or 0.

You can have different agents for each step of the process. It's allowed.

Thankyou for the response. Mine is NOC B so i will be the principal. Can he still use his experience on the spouse work experience on my profile?

You dont get any points for the spouse's work experience unless it is Canadian. So if it is not just leave it blank and say he has no experience at all.

Hello everyone, I'm new here and need some help on th e following questions
1. My job title is Data center operations. And my job title is listed under computer network technicians; NOC 2281. However, I don't seem to see enough matching job duties as stated on the CIC website. How do I go about this?

2. My wife's name on her birth certificate has is correctly spelt out. While her international passport has her first name in place for her middle name which is contrary to what she has on her birth certificate. How do I go about this ? Will an affidavit suffice for this ?

Thank you team.

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

Hi guys.
I have created my express entry profile with 447 scores.
I have one question. Actually, I updated my email address in my express entry profile. I was receiving update emails on my old email account(received 5 emails) but I am not getting any emails on my new email account(updated one)which I suppose i should be getting every time i submit my profile after making changes to my profile.

I am worried that what if I don't receive any invitation email in the coming draw.

Does anyone know if this is serious issue. Should I create new profile or ignore this.
Thanks in advance
