Any clues when IRCC will start processing OUTLAND FSW EE ? I have been waiting for a year 1.5 years, seems they are just processing inland ,CEC & PNP.

Heard the conversation that they may start in second quarter of 2022 now. Lets see

1. You can create multiple profiles, it kills other applicant's chance of getting ITA though
2. If your spouse is LMIA exempt, then he would have received the work permit and it will say, LMIA exempt. No extra letter is needed.
3. Open Work Permit means non-LMIA based. And any job offer can get your 50 points. What exactly are you planning on this one?

Hello thanks for replying.
I am just confuse about the job offer part for 50 additional score.
I have read elsewhere stating that if I got a job offer using my open work permit, my employer has to get a new LMIA in order for me get that 50 score.
if the employer doesn't want to submit for LMIA, the most I can claim is job experience for extra point, and not the 50 point for Job Offer.

Yes, that is correct.

If you are on an open work permit, the employer needs to get an approved LMIA in order for you to qualify for the 50 job offer points.

Yes, that is correct.

What about my spouse.
He came on a ICT work permit, does the employer need to get an approved LMIA? or just a letter stating job offer after PR is sufficient?

Your spouse needs to work for his employer for 1 full year in Canada first before he can claim the 50 points. Your spouse's employer also needs to give him a letter stating they will continue to employ him in this job for at least one year after PR.

Ok so just a official letter after 1 year of working is sufficient for that 50 points.
For open work permit do I have to work for 1 year before asking the employer to submit for LMIA, or there's no restriction on that as long LMIA is approved

Your employer can apply for an LMIA at any time.

You need a LMIA for the 50 points.

No. This won't be counted towards CEC. Only work experience after you've graduated is counted.

 

[xiaojunz]

Yes I am aware it wouldn't be counted for CEC, but what about Federal Skilled Working EE?Sorry I should have been more specific

 

[Naturgrl]

You can count it. Are you eligible for FSW with one year continuous skilled experience.

Straight forward talk

here is 1$ to fuck off. stop spamming the forum. there is enough bullshit on youtube regarding canadian 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.

Hello, thanks for the detailed information. I would like to know the format for the experience/reference letter from my employer. Can I get it from somewhere?
