Hi,

Thank you for the explanation. Here is an update about myself and more questions. I just received Express Entry - Province/Territory Interest Letter from Alberta. However, you can only have one provincial nomination at a time, so I think I will have to withdraw the nomination I got from Alberta Opportunity Stream so they might process my application for Alberta Express Entry. I am not sure if I should withdraw my existing nomination since there is no guarantee that I can get another nomination which can give me 600 points.
I am not sure what to do here, please give me some advice.

Thank you

I would suggest to accept the former one i.e. Express Entry one as that would aid you getting your Canada PR Visa. For the latter, i.e. for withdrawing your nomination for Alberta Opportunity Stream, that you have to check out.

All the best!! Cheers.

I'm listed as Director alongside my friend in a registered company, for which there has never been any business transaction since incorporation,and i am also in a paid employment. Do I need to include this in my personal history considering it will overlap with my current paid employment, if I am to include it in my personal history, how do I go about this as no points was claimed for this because I am not the PA?
Or can i simply write an LOE to explain this as against putting it in personal history because of the overlap effect it will have on my paid employment history?

Hi Dypo, I'm in similar circumstances as you were, except that in my case, I am the PA. Can you please share how you proceeded with your application. Many thanks.

Hello everyone, just a quick question and any response would be much appreciated:

I mistakenly put in my country of origin as my country of residence in my Express Entry Profile -- and not the country I currently reside in. I got my invitation. Should I decline the invitation & update my country of residence and get back in the pool or just go ahead with the final application & update the country of residence there?

Many thanks!

Details in the immigration process should always be updated. If not updated, i think, you won't be able to take part in the immigration process and if you are issued the Canada PR Visa, that will stand cancel.

I will definitely update it. The question is do I decline the ITA & update it or update it in the final application?

Hello friends,

During profile creation, do I need to include Master's Degree which was not evaluated? Though I intend to include it in Personal History and LOE during eAPR. My fear is, will it automatically appear in Education History?

Hi
I am registered nurse pursuing my PhD and I have 5 yrs of oncology clinical experience along with 3 yrs of teaching experience in one of the tertiary hospital of India on regular basis and my job is government. Want to know whether I am eligible for the immigration because my left leg is affected with polio but I can do all the activities independently moreover I am very trained in handling the cancer patients

Hello people,

Need your help/advice/suggestion.

is there a thread in this forum that someone can point me to, that will provide a step-by-step instructions of how to apply for Express Entry process(in order).
If here is no thread of that can, could someone who has in-depth understanding of the process, kindly create one and put it as sticky?

I am bit confused as to what would be the first step in applying for the EE and its corresponding steps.
Though website provide instructions to certain extent, i am not entirely convinced as i understand there is lot more required than what is mentioned on the website.

These instruction will be helpful not just to me but many aspirants who are seeking a lucid understanding of the process.

Thank you all for your time. [/QUOTE
can you help me plz do I have to evaluate my US diploma,?
Thank you

 

[VisaExperts]

Good day am from Nigeria i have my bachelor's and a professional certificate in accounting (ICAN), which should I present to WES for evaluation.

I think you have to submit all your professional educational documents with WES while you apply for Canada immigration.

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.

Regarding police certificates....Can I apply for police certificates before putting my application in or before receiving ITA?

 

[varunchopra]

I have an offer letter from Canadian company and I am working for that company from OUTSIDE Canada (from India since Nov 2018) - will this experience be counted as Canadian experience or not ?

 

[VisaExperts]

Hi,
My express entry score is 437.

Right now the draw is in between 450-470

Do I need to go through Ontario PNP or to wait till the scores go down??

If your skills qualify your for Ontario PNP under express entry, you will get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) under which, in the 60 days window, you have to apply for the visa.

 

[ravi.shankar]

Visa experts - Can you explain what that 60 days window is. I too got a letter of interest from Ontario on march 22,2019. Also the ONIP site says " you have 45 calendar days after you receive your NOI to apply to this stream". So do I have to create a new profile to apply for PNP as I am already past 45-60 days. I am waiting for your reply. Thanks

Hi everybody,
So I am currently working in a company for almost a year and will apply for EE when I hit the 1-year Canadian experience. While filling the EE profile, what should I say for `Do you have a valid job offer?` No?
If I say no, will that effect my points from Canadian Experience or it is just about LMIA..?
