Among other factors -
To have specialized knowledge any ICT applicant would be required to demonstrate, on a balance of probabilities, a high degree of both proprietary knowledge and advanced expertise.

Proprietary knowledge alone, or advanced expertise alone, does not qualify the applicant under this exemption.

Here's the official IRCC publication that clarifies things - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/exemption-codes/intra-company-transferees/canadian-interests-significant-benefit-qualifying-job-positions-specialized-knowledge.html
Thanks a lot.

Hey!
Just got my IELTS results, filling my EE profile now. Everything looks pretty straightforward except for this question:

Date [APPLICANT] first became qualified to practice in this occupation

If the "primary occupation" is:
  • a qualified trade (four-digit code begins with 632, 633, 72, 73, 82, 92), this is the date they became qualified to practice on their own in Canada. (For example, when they moved from apprentice to being a licensed tradesperson.)
  • any other job, this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)
I wonder if I should enter the date I finished my undergrad education, which would be 2011? However, I don't claim points for it. I've listed only my US MBA on the education tab (2019), but I got it after I got an experience I'm claiming points for (2013-2017).
Is it ok to enter the 2011 date anyway?

The NOC you are using as your main occupation, will have a minimum qualification mentioned for it( as declared by CIC). If that qualification if a bachelor's or undergraduate degree then you can give the date of your undergrad. That's what I know, might wanna wait for others to confirm

NOC 0124 says "A university degree or college diploma in business administration or in a related field with a specialization in sales or marketing and Several years of experience", so should I choose 2013 instead? It's when I started working for the job I claim the points for and got that 'several years of experience' in similar positions.

I see this question surfaced many times on this forum and the answers are slightly different based on individual case.

If 2013 was the year you satisfy the 'several years' criteria for you NOC then that seems to be the logical choice. Also if after 2013, you satisfy the 'continuous work experience' criteria as well then that would be the safest option too I guess.

I mean if you have the needed continuous work experience counting from 2013.. then it's safe I meant

hello everyone,

i gave two ielts exam. In my first ielts i got 8 band and second attempt got 7 band. so whenever i will apply for EE which ielts score accepted. please advice me.
regards
As far as I know you can file either of them. For obvious reasons would be the exam where you have score 8 as it may fetch you more points while you go ahead with the immigration process.

Hello guys, for the end date of educational history, is it the date your transcript was issued or the date of your graduation. I started working FT immediately my transcript was issued and if I put my graduation date, it will mess up my Activity History

  1. My spouse is not claiming any points for work experience. But under work history, I selected option yes and submitted the work experience documents ( non Canadian exp) for my spouse. Will this affect the application or timeline ?
