Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Stanlee]

Thank you everyone for helping me earlier.

You guys are a great help!!!

Another question: My wife is the primary candidate and we got a score of 350

If we improve her score to overall 8 will the jump be that much to make it to 400?
I am 7.5 overall, with me doing it again will help, or her score improvement is only required?

Thanks in advance

You can use these calculators to find out the score you can potentially get, try varying the IELTS scores for each (primary applicant and dependent) and see what would best work for you.

Hi Guys,

I would like to kindly ask you one thing when it comes to OOPNP.
If I am the principal applicant and my husband is on my application how much money should I pay?? Is it 1500 CAD x 2?? Or just 1500 CAD?

In the instruction it says that the fee is 1500 cad per application. So I am confused and I need you help

Its 1500 CAD per application, not per applicant. You would be paying only 1500 CAD irrespective of the number of dependents on your application.

Ask him to send all his roles and responsibilities to noc@workingincanada.gc.ca . They'll reply with the most appropriate NOC code!

Hi Stanlee.. You mean, we can use more than 1 NOC to EE? In my case, I have worked for 2 jobs for the past 10 years but those jobs are co-related. So, will I get some points from both of my work experience or only from 1 NOC which I'm going to use? Thanks

Hi Stanlee.. You mean, we can use more than 1 NOC to EE? - Yes

In my case, I have worked for 2 jobs for the past 10 years but those jobs are co-related. So, will I get some points from both of my work experience or only from 1 NOC which I'm going to use? Thanks - You will get for both, irrespective of the fact that NOCs are related or not. In the OINP Nominee Application Form, you need to mention NOC in which you would like to work in Canada.

Our EE is almost ready and we would also like to apply to PNP. Is there a way to find the point requirements for each province? And how do we go about applying? Initially we thought Alberta would be a good fit for us, but is it true they no longer accept applications?

Also, is it possible to apply to multiple PNPs and hope that someone will select you?

Please advise.

You will get 600 points for applying via PNP. It is possible but I think it will cost a lot.

guys, I just received a letter from Ontario through EE inviting me to apply to PNP. however, I'm not quite sure it I like the idea because they said taking the PNP route can be quite long. here's my question:

1. does the ONPNP has an expiration date? (I wanted to wait for a while until Feb-2016 EE draw)
2. do you think PNP process is much longer than non-PNP? (I would want to settle in Ontario nonetheless since the family is there, just want the faster route)

thanks and warm regards.

1. does the ONPNP has an expiration date? (I wanted to wait for a while until Feb-2016 EE draw) - It will expire after 45 days.
2. do you think PNP process is much longer than non-PNP? (I would want to settle in Ontario nonetheless since the family is there, just want the faster route) - Yes, if compared to a direct ITA, PNP will take more time and will cost you more. If your CRS score is 460+ you stand a chance to get a direct invite, otherwise, you will have to take the PNP route or should have a job offer (LMIA approved).

thanks and warm regards.

Thanks in advance..

Hi Forum People,

Need some clarification regarding the documents that are to be send to WES for ECA Process.
1. Transcripts of every semester ( in total 8)

2. In my college , i think its generic for all that there is no transcript for Degree. So for degree , photocopy of it will do or it has to be attested ?

3. In all my college documents , my first name is there but passport and all other professional documents , it is First Name + Last Name.
Change in my name was done long back in 2007 and it was declared in newspaper also.
So to match my name and confirm this authorized change , what process should i follow ?

 

[berabad]

+1 for you. thanks for your help..
