Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[prtk91]

Hi Guys

I received an AOR in Dec 2020, Completed my Medical in Feb 2021, Biometrics done (and accepted) in March 2021 - Anyone in a similar situation ? And is there any update on the processing time (for FSWP)?

Thank you!

Where will your medical exam held?

Hi @Avinash2799 . May I know when you submitted your EOI and what's your NOC? Thanks!

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.

Amazing explanation.
Helpful

Do I need to submit my education evaluation report while creating express entry profile? As my evaluation will take time and my IELTS is done, so I am thinking of putting my file in pool and will submit ECA report when they will give me 90 days for submission of documents after selection of my file.

You can’t submit a profile without ECA.

HELLO, I’m a FSW applicant. I’m about to create an EE profile and my simulated CRS score is 478. However, I did apply for an EOR that would possibly see my score go up to 481. So at the moment, I’m waiting for the verdict which could take up to 3 weeks. My question is, can i create an EE profile with my current IELTS score and change it later if it gets upgraded? I mean, considering that there’s a possibility of getting an ITA any moment from now (no one knows when a draw might happen)

You can update your IELTs score if it changes.

You can update your IELTs score if it changes.

Hi, is it possible to go back home first in my home country while waiting for the result of my PR? Or should we just start inside Canada while the PR is on process? Thanks

 

[Malibu25]

Hi guys, need some ideas regarding to my situation, please. I worked as an Associate Warehouse Handler last June 2020, the employer promoted me as an Inventory Coordinator (NOC B), however my salary is still the same as what I have had during the position as Associate Warehouse Handler, will the same salary affect my CEC application? Thank you

Is the Associate Warehouse Handler job a NOC C or D occupation?

What NOC are you using for the Inventory Coordinator job? Is your pay at least the minimum wage for your region?

Hiii, warehouse handler is under noc C.
I used NOC 1215 for inventory coordinator. My salary is at least the minimum wage, however nothing has changed in terms of salary since the beginning

It's good your salary is at least the minimum. It will be up to the IRCC officer who processes your application whether your salary is a problem or not. It's unfortunately hard to say. Normally if you take on more responsibilities there should be a pay increase.

I hope it won't affect thank you for the response
