Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Usman Iqbal]

HI
I just received ITA under express entry, Please tell me when my medical test would be conducted. Before application submission or after application submission.

I have a question regarding "have you used any other name"? When I applied for the provincial nominee, I said yes to this question as my grandparents used to call me another name. However, I realized that if I say yes in the Express Entry application, it would ask me to provide LoE and any legal documents. In this case, what should I do? I am also worried that the IRCC would find out if I say NO to this question. Thank you!!

Hi Guys,

Im waiting 17 months now on express entry, so drained and tired now! im worried that elections in Canada are on 21 Oct, if the new government comes, it will take time for them to understand and start working on the system.

In your opinion would the elections make our people (who are waiting for so long) even worst?

Please advise?

Thank you & Kind Regards

Pls help..

I worked in company A under NOC1234 for 1yrs 1month n joined company B under NOC5678 for 10months and then joined back company A itself under the same designation.
So my doubts are ....

1) will one reference letter be enough from company A mentioning the 2 different dates of joining
2)isn't the gaps of days between joining the works be mentioned as unemployed under personal history
3)can't I add up my experience of 10 months in company B along with company A despite being under different NOCs

TIA

Senior Members, please help

Profile created May 10.
OINP received July 12
OINP nomination Received Sept 25
ITA Oct 3
Declined 4 for the below reason


1. I have waited till May 10, 2019, to gain 3 years of experience (more points) in the last 10 years and created a profile on May 10.
2. after receiving the ITA and while filling the PR application, I found the mistake I made while creating the profile in May 2019.

3. Instead of selecting May 2016 through May 2019, I have selected May 2015 through May 2019 for my work experience.

4. I declined ITA because of this reason. Corrected my profile to May 2016- through May 2019.

5. I think I am okay since the number of years of experience still crossed 3 years on the day, I created my profile (It was exactly 3 years 8 days). But I am worried that CIC may not understand this as a mistake but as a misrepresentation. I am feeling terrible for this simple mistake. Appears like many years of hard work going waste.

QUESTION: Can I still use my PNP nomination and accept the next ITA. The scores did not change when I made the changes.

Guys, please help me with your thoughts and wisdom

Thank you

Hi all, looking for some help... or maybe just reconfirm what I have found.

I am from the UK, and my profession is (writer).. aka advertising writer. I've doing this for the last 4 years. However, (as strange as it seems) I don't have a degree. I do have one year college certificate, for what its worth.

After completing the CRS tool here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

(To my surprise) or maybe not really. My score is 368. Here it is below:


Your results
All Express Entry candidates get a score out of 1,200, based on the four parts of the Comprehensive Ranking System formula.

We invite the highest-ranking candidates from the pool to apply as a permanent resident through regular “rounds of invitations.” See what minimum scores have been in the past.

Core/Human capital factors

• Age = 55
• Level of education = 84
• Study in Canada = undefined
• Official Languages = 128
  • First Official Language = 128
  • Second Official Language = 0
• Canadian work experience = 0

Subtotal - Core/Human capital factors = 267

Spouse factors

• Level of education = 8
• First Official Languages = 18
• Canadian work experience = 0

Subtotal - Spouse factors = 26

Skill transferability factors
Education

• A) Official Language proficiency and education = 25
• B) Canadian work experience and education = 0

Subtotal = 25

Foreign work experience

• A) Official Language proficiency and foreign work experience = 50
• B) Canadian and foreign work experience = 0

Subtotal = 50

Certificate of qualification = 0

Subtotal Skill transferability factors = 75


Comprehensive Ranking System formula
Subtotal Core/Human capital + Spouse factors + Skill transferability = 368

Provincial nomination = 0

Job offer = 0

Study in Canada = 0

Sibling in Canada = 0

French-language skills = 0

Subtotal Additional points = 0

Grand total = 368
----------------
You see, I did do the same process under my wife, and slightly higher by 3 points (she is slightly younger and has a degree) But only 1 year experience in the fields they require. I feel because of my lack of a higher education is dragging my points.

Is this enough? From my understanding, its advised to aim for 400 (+)

Any thoughts team?

Thanks in-advance

 

[shoaibalik]

does any one knows how to process follows for one that has not paid his Right For Permanent Residency Fees at the time of AOR, and get a request to make such payment?

Hi,

Can anyone please give me a sample roles and responsibilities work experience letter for a testing functionality

 

[Swati87]

Hi All,

I have done B.E (4 years) and MBA from XIMB (2 years) from India. However, to maximize my CRS score, I would need a master's equivalency. WES doesn't recognize my 2 years masters degree.

1. Does CES recognize MBA from Indian universities?
2. Also, do I need to get my bachelor's degree evaluated, if I go for CES?

Thanks

Hi everyone, please guide and help.

I've submitted my PR application documents and fees along with biometrics and currently awaiting visa approval and PPR.
I'd like to get married soon and wanted your suggestion that should I wait till I get my PR and first landing or can I get married before that considering that if I had applied for PR as a married applicant I would not have met minimum CRS cutoff score.
Please share process as well and pros and cons in either case.

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.

Kudoss pls, am so relaxed no with your info. But pls outsisw dis 550 nd 490 any other fee will pply?
