Hi All

I'm planning to apply under Express Entry FSWP program.

Below is the break-up of my summary letter


Job 1: June 2015 – December 2015
Designation: Operations Executive

Job 2: Jan 2016 – December 2016
Designation: App distribution and Analytics Associate

Gap: Jan 2017 – May 2017

Job 3: June 2017 – Till Date
Designation: Analyst


Query1: For job 1 and job 2, I have offer letter relieving letter but as I was paid stipend so don't have pay stubs. Will it pose any issue for proving my employment? What's the alternate way to prove my employment?
Query2: I had gap of 6 months between job 2 and job 3, will it be an issue?
Query3: Company 2 has been closed now, so it might be difficult to get job responsibility letter. How can we overcome this issue?
Query4: My responsibilities in all 3 jobs are not exactly same but it's more of mobile app analysis. I assume i would fall under NOC – 2171?
Query5: Does my designation align with NOC – 2171? Or will it pose any issue?
Query6: As per express entry you need to have 3 years of work experience to get maximum points. Does it has to be under same NOC, under which you are applying or in totality it has to be 3 years or more?

Once you get ITA, CIC will tell you when you get the medical done. My comment was to take a future appointment(which you can cancel if you want), sometime soon after you expect to receive an ITA. In some countries, getting appointment from designated panel physician takes few weeks.
While Medical exam, the Doctor will ask for Invitation Letter. So, book your appointment after ITA.

You can book dummy appointments prior to an invitation, if you are expecting.

what is your CRS by the way?

What if I'm unable to complete and submit my profile in 60 days? Bcz. I have just applied for ECA and as per forum members it takes around 1.5 to 2 months to complete. Thanks for help.
First steps for Canada PR are IELTS TRF form and ECA pdf file. Without which, do not try anything.

I have a peculiar case to share.

I was deemed cured of Tuberculosis back in 2009. Applied for a Work Permit in 2012. CIC asked me to perform another X-Ray 3 months after the initial medical examination and then approved my WP. Worked in Canada for an year.

Now, I am certain of receiving an ITA in the next draw. I have all of the medical reports that were provided to CIC in 2012 as evidence and am assuming that I won't have to undergo the 3 month wait this time around after I undergo medical examination. Has anyone had such an experience or would like to share their thoughts on what they think?
No, take Medical from a good hospital. Everything will be fine.

Once someone receive PR visa for landing in canada, they normally give 6 months time to enter. If someone is unable to enter in that time what happens? How to extend the time?
The VISA expires and you will have to start from scratch.

meanwhile, its not six months. The VISA is applicable till your Medical exam expiration date.

You can book dummy appointments prior to an invitation, if you are expecting.

what is your CRS by the way?
Thanks for pulling us out of dilemmas and worries.. My CRS is 443 but as I just applied for ECA last saturday I will have to wait for 2 months before I can enter pool... gonna be long 2 months..:(
Will, according to you, CRS remain below 443 for that long?

Then, please wait and do not create any EE profile. Lets wait for your ECA. What about IELTS? Do you have a TRF number?

Good day all. Please, I have a question to ask and I hope I'd get the right answer.

I am a medical doctor, with over five years post graduation experience (including Internship and working as a medical officer while doing the compulsory National Youth Service in my country Nigeria). Ever since then, I have been working in private hospitals as a Medical Officer with job roles including outpatient, inpatient and emergency care.

I also decided to make a gradual career switch to Epidemiology, so I commenced my Masters in Epidemiology and Medical Statistics last year and will do my research dissertation defence in a few months as the final phase before I get my Masters degree.

Additionally, I have passed my IELTS examination but currently waiting for the source verification of my medical degree with the ECFMG before I can proceed with the ECA.

Please, I would like to ask the following questions:

1) What will be the ideal NOC to choose as a Medical Doctor with a general practitioner experience, bearing in mind that my employment letters bear the role of Medical Officer or Medical Doctor?

2) Can post-college Internship/Housemanship be included as part of professional experience while applying for the Express Entry?

3) Can I get a job as an epidemiologist if I successfully get into Canada, bearing in mind that I will soon be done with my Masters and that I have about a year's experience volunteering with NGOs in that regard?

Thanks a lot. I will really be grateful if I could get an elaborate answer to these questions.

Hi friends
I was wondering if in forms the "nomination and selection" part is related to provincial nomination programs (in my case BC PNP)?
