Hello Friends,
One query related to Experience in EE Profile.
My wife is having Experience of 2 years and 9 months as a University Professor. Accordingly NOC code is 4011.
Also, she is having experience of 7 months as a School Teacher. Accordingly NOC code is 4012.
Now Question is that, experience criteria of more than 3 Years will be taken collectively or not. Since, it will affect the 25 points on CSR score if it is less than 3 years.

Regards

Please guys need some help with POF...
If i get funds from my father as tfr in my a/c then i get a fd in my name (backed by gift deed) . Now is there any requirement of avg balance in my bank a/c? OR Will fd be considered as part of bank balance and will be sufficient as POF combined with bank balance? Thanks..

Gifts from parents are very well accepted by IRCC (that's my own personal experience). Do not forget to attach a notarized gift deed for the same.
In your case, if your FD amount is more than the required POF, then you don't even need to show your bank certificates. Just provide the FD along with the gift deed.
In case, the FD amount is less than the required POF, it can be very well combined with your bank balance to achieve the POF level. Don't worry about the average, attach a bank certificate stating mandatory information like account number, account opening date, balance as on date etc and also attach a six months bank statement. Just make sure, there is no big inflow of cash in those 6 months (except that FD thing), otherwise you will have to prove that as well.

God Luck.

Hello,

As per my understanding, EE calculates IELTS score on the basis of CLB level but i was calculating the score on CIC website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool. asp) and it seems it calculated the score on the basis of individual module basis i.e 119. My individual score is WRLS( 6.5, 7, 8, 7.5). Can any one please explain how language proficiency score is calculated?

Thank you so much, man!
Well, I guess this depends on the rules for the specific NOC. Mine (Translation) does say that you should have academic education in this field. (although there are other ways to it too). So now I can get the full points for my foreign skilled work experience! (3years or more)

So to iterate; for example, one of my friends who has just completed her master's degree could use her work experience from 3 years ago up until now, regardless of her graduation date. (and it wouldn't count as being only part time) correct?

You're a life saver!

1) No, it doesn't depend on the rules (employment requirements) of the NOC.They actually dont matter at all. Read this:
"Note: The applicant does not need to demonstrate that they meet the “employment requirements” listed in the NOC occupational description."
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/econ/fsw/minimum.asp

2) Yes, as long as it is foreign work experience.

Hello,

Yes, each module gives you points individually:

"Proficiency — first official language
13 (1) The points that are to be assigned for proficiency in each of the language skill areas in the first official language of a foreign national, according to their benchmark level as assessed in that language under the Canadian Language Benchmarks or the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens, are the following:

• (a) for a foreign national who has no accompanying spouse or common-law partner
  • (i) 0 points for being assessed at less than level 4,
  • (ii) 6 points for being assessed at level 4 or 5,
  • (iii) 9 points for being assessed at level 6,
  • (iv) 17 points for being assessed at level 7,
  • (v) 23 points for being assessed at level 8,
  • (vi) 31 points for being assessed at level 9, and
  • (vii) 34 points for being assessed at level 10 or higher; and
• (b) for a foreign national who has an accompanying spouse or common-law partner
  • (i) 0 points for being assessed at less than level 4,
  • (ii) 6 points for being assessed at level 4 or 5,
  • (iii) 8 points for being assessed at level 6,
  • (iv) 16 points for being assessed at level 7,
  • (v) 22 points for being assessed at level 8,
  • (vi) 29 points for being assessed at level 9, and
  • (vii) 32 points for being assessed at level 10 or higher."

In language proficiency section scores will be calculated as follows;
WRLS( 6.5, 7, 8, 7.5)
W 6.5 = 23
R 7 =31
L 8 =31
S 7.5 =34

Total 119? In language section, it's understandable that score is calculated on individual module basis and the score is allocated How will the score be calculated in transferability section? on CLB basis or what ?

 

[Anu-89]

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.

I have a small question. My Bachelors major and work experience are different. My major is in finance and experience in HR. Is that an issue with ee application

Yes, but to get maximum points (50) for transferability you need all your scores to be CLB9 or better. In other words, you need L8 W7 R7 S7.

If you are a FSW applicant you do not meet the language requirements, if you're a CEC applicant and your NOC is 0 or B you do not meet the language requirements.

Dear All,

I'm facing a delay in my application process. Would appreciate if anyone can advise on my case

Visa office - New Delhi
ITA received - oct 2016
AOR - Dec 2016
Passport request - May 2017
Got married in May 2017
Informed cic about the marriage
CIC requested for marriage photos and certain forms along with PR and RPRF fees ($1040)
Submitted all the above on 1st July 2017 and still awaiting further response.
Kindly advise

 

[ravi4091]

1. Yes, it will be accepted.

2. University of Pune

3. It's not a problem but you can write a letter of explanation to be on the safe side.

4. Fixed deposits are acceptable - you can show your FD certificates. And if your bank is willing to write a letter, get that too.

Good luck.

Thank you so much for your kind response, really appreciate it.!!

Lastly, I just had a question about the educational details which I have mentioned in my online application for EE profile.

Firstly, I completed my graduation in Bsc(comp). It was a full-time 3-year degree, however, I got my result I December 2015 as I had to clear a subject in the month of October 2015. So, on my convocation and passing certificate, the date is October 2015. So which date should I mention as the end date in the educational detail should it be starting from June 2007 to Oct 2010?? or June 2007 to Dec 2010??

Secondly, for my masters it was a two-year full-time degree I have the same query about the end date of the course as I have cleared it on April 2013 so should it be starting from July 2011 to Apr 2013? If yes, then its not exactly 2 years if we look at the exact date..so would it be fine??

Wating for your kind response,

Ravi
