Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[trushitpatel]

Hi All

I received an ITA in December 2020. Post this, I completed my medical and biometrics (after receiving the BIL); My query is, can I quit my current job, without any repercussions/effect on my application?

In my application, I had mentioned this particular employment under the 'Employment' tab. The start date thereof was May 2017 and there was no end date, as when I submitted the application, I was still working in the same company. I am now planning to quit the said job in the next 2 months.

Please Advise!!

If you you have enough work experience I.e full time 3 years (same NOC) then you can resign form your current job.

However, my advice is don’t quit as they will take long time (almost a year) to process due to COVID. So, try to earn more before you get PPR request.

Hi Guys,
Could anyone of you please assist me as I am planning to process my Canada PR application.
My concern is : I joined the organization as a Management trainee after my post grads and was getting the stipend amount during those 6 months ,also PF amount got deducted during that duration.And now I have trainee exp certificate of 6 months. But as I got into payroll after 6 months,I am getting the on-job effective date of (after 6 months) in my work experience letter ; which is something got considered in my current job(when I switched my job).
I would like to know- Should I add my training period experience in my Work Experience details under Express Entry or not ? What would be the best way ?? And if not, then will that period consider as a gap after my masters ?
Looking for a response ASAP.
Your help would be much appreciated.Thanks !!

Did you do PNP?

Hi @trushitpatel Thank you for the help! My ITA was in the FSWP - EE category (if it matters in the context); I am planning to take a short break, and resume employment at a different organization (different NOC).

I have almost 4 years experience in the NOC I mentioned in my application.

Please advise!
Thank you.

Did you do PNP?

No, my ITA is under FSWP - Express Entry category

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.

Wow bro
Great job.
Thanks a lot for sharing in-depth details with us

Message- Permanent Residence Authorized- but file won't open
Hello All,
Hoping I can get some help here. I had a ghost update last week through email. Opened my account to find nothing really changed except one new message.
Message title says- Permanent Residence Authorized but the file itself won't open no matter how many times I try using different computers, servers, cellphones etc.

Can anybody tell me what 'Permanent Residence Authorized' means? And what could be my current application status?

Thanks in advance!
Naveen

Thanks for the post! I have a question regarding of profile.

when I make a profile for EE, should I write down every work history since I came to canada? Or just write down what I need for score which is in 3 years.

For example, i work at A company : 2 month (more than 3years ago) and at B company : 2y 6months (in 3year). Can I just write down only B company on work history ?

Thank you in advance !

Hi guys,
I have a question about years of work experience and hope to get some help here.

I have worked at a job for 2.5 years and consider to looking for another job that have the same NOC with my current one. Does it count as 3 years of working experience if I only work for this new company for 0.5 year when I apply for Express entry?

Thank you in advance!
