Hasan, how many years was your BBA and MBA program?
Thank you for the response

My BBA duration was 4 years and MBA duration was 1 year.

It's pretty difficult to digest that different assessing body is giving different level equivalence certificate, I did not realize before WES/ICAS/ UOT assessment varies, one of my friend has done his ECA from ICAS for the same qualification and he got Masters.

Hi Seniors,

Please advise on my below query.
My CRS (with 2 or more bachelors) is 466. I have written to WES to re-evaluate my MBA equivalency and have not received any response yet. If the result is positive, it will increase the CRS to 473.

In the meantime, should I create an EE profile today with 466 points (just incase there is a draw with that cut-off). If yes, can i edit my profile and change the education level to "Masters" later if the WES result is positive?

Please guide. Thanks a lot

Yes please go ahead and create your profile. You can always alter the details until you receive ITA.

I am not sure about their procedure, probably they want masters of 2 years

Hi all,

I am living in BC and I have a permanent job here. I recently create a EE profile, and my score is 442. As I would like to stay in BC(because of my job) can I apply for other provinces to get nomination and if I got invitation, I land there for a while and come back to BC again?Is it possible if I apply for Saskatuan nominee program for example?Would it make sense as I have a job and my spouse is student here?I don't like to loose my job.

Thanks.

Is it possible? Yes

Would I recommend it? No because of repercussions that may arise due to misrepresenting your intent of living in SK. Also, it is a d!ck move for all the people who truly are willing to give SK a chance.

Cheers ;)

10 POINTS is what makes the difference friend
10 may or may not make difference, it really depends on what is current score.
If you are somewhere between 440 to 500 then it really makes a difference looking at the history of ITAs

If you are 300 to 380, it is useless.

If you are 390, it makes small difference as it would qualify you for Ontario PNP invitation

500+, doesn't make difference :)

I just received IELTS overall score 6.5 (CLB equivalency is CLB7). I believe, I would get 66 points under FSW program. My spouse has IELTS overall score 5.5 (CLB equivalency is CLB5) for which we should get five more points for "Adaptability" selection factor. Will we meet EE eligibility criteria under FSWP with these 71 points?

475 points or more (according to Express Entry system #45 on October 19, 2016) required to get ITA. I calculated with CRS points tool and getting 419 points. Is CLB9 must? What are the chances if we create EE profile with current IELTS score? I think, EE profile is valid for one year from the date of creation. If required, we may retake IELTS and create EE profile once we have IELTS results.

Seniors advice greatly appreciated.

Your 71 points are good enough to enter the EE pool but crs 419 is not sufficient to get ITA. You should try PNP or increase your points to take them past 450

Here are details for PNP

Hello Seniors,

I was creating EE profile and it asked for 'Family Name' of my spouse. As per her passport, she has no family name or surname. But in EE form, this field is mandatory.

Please advice what should i write there?

Awaiting a reply.

Thanks.

Enter the first name in the place of the last name and leave the first name blank.

thanks Raj for your response. Can you advise if i should select "All Provinces and Territories" or chose particular territories i intend to reside. Does it make any difference while filling EE profile?

Awaiting your response. Thanks.

Please correct me if I am wrong. If I send my IELTS result for re-valuation, I can still enter the pool with my current result.

Thanks in advance!
