Experts,

Do I need to put my UCI number for my spouse and child's immigration history? I was the principal applicant for FSW 2014 and thought this UCI no. belongs to PA only, but the online application form asks UCI for both spouse and child. Should I put the same UCI three times?

UCI is for an individual. You cannot write the same UCI for you and your family members. You can mention as N/A if you do not know their UCI rather than writing yours.

Hi Everyone,

My questions is a pretty basic one. I am drafting my experience letter for the current employer and I have a few questions, if anyone can help clarify it will be great!

1. Do I need to include my salary breakdown in the experience letter i.e. basic and benefits or just mentioning my gross annual salary is enough? I will submit my pay slips with the breakdown for the last 6 months with the application.

Gross salary is enough
2. My previous employer has issued me the experience letter, however it doesn't include the salary breakdown with benefits. It just states my last drawn salary at the company. Again, for the previous employer I will submit my last 6 months salary for the details on salary and benefits. Would that be okay or should I go back and get a new letter detailing benefits and all?

it is okay

3. I worked as an IT Business Analyst and applying under NOC 2171. Both the places I have worked for have similar job duties, hope that is not going to be a problem?

That is not an issue. If you working on the same NOC, you job responsibilities will more or less be the same. That's fine.
4. Is there anything else I should look for while preparing the employment documents that can cause trouble later on?
Roles and responsibilities should match the NOC'S but should not be a copy paste. You join date and termination date, hours/ week

5. Tax certificates, are they mandatory or optional for the application?

Not required, if you are outside canada

Looking forward to get some help!

TIA,

Hi,

My IELTS will be expiring in 7 months, do you think I can still use it for Ontario PNP? Do you think I can finish the whole process in 7 months? My CRS is 438. Thanks in advance!!

I did. I applied for PCC 3 days after I received the ITA.
I waited until the 59th day and I submitted my documents.
I included the post office receipt and an explanation letter to show that I have applied for the PCC. and I tentatively receive it by a specific day and I asked them to give me some time. I uploaded the explanation letter in both PCC and Explanation letter Slots when I wanted to submit my application.
They gave me 60 days after that.

Thanks a ton Shibaak for your timely response. Really appreciate it.

Hi All,

Would appreciate if the experts could answer a few questions I have:
1. How does the NOC classification you choose effect your application? I mean I could probably fit myself into a few codes - so on what basis should I decide on the code?
2. Do you have to tailor your resume to fit that particular code you choose?
3. Can you search for jobs only in that code?
4. When do you start hunting for PNP approval? Only after you are assessed and put into the pool?
5. Please define job letter. Are you referring to referrals from your previous bosses?
6. I guess all these docs just need to be uploaded and hardcopies are not necessarily required - my bosses are in other countries and I just plan to ask them for a scanned copy.
7. Can resume for application be the standard 2-page one or it has to be very detailed and modified to fit the NOC code?
8. Please expand AOR.

Your responses would help me get started on planning for my application!
Thanks and regards,

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list

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. and register for the Job Bank

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here -->

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants

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

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.


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.

1) You should not have a problem getting a reference letter from the former employers. You can contact the HR/concerned manager and tell them that you need a reference in a particular format for Canada immigration. You can prepare the format and send it across for their review/issuance. If they have a policy of not issuing such letters, you can get a letter for the same. Then you can use this letter and also prepare a notarized reference letter signed by your ex-manager or colleague. I do not see any issues in a former employer issuing such letters. There could be problems in terms of format and content but you can explain your situation and should be ABLE TO GET ONE.
2. No, it will not work.

Hi,

Could someone please help me how apply to EE through CEC? In February/2016 I'll complete one year of Canadian work experience as NOC 0911 and I'd like to know if I need a LMIA or just through my one experience to get an ITA as soon as possible.
I don't know exactly my CRS but it will be between 450-480 without job offer after 1yr work experience.

I know that maximum points for CEC is 600, but I don’t know hot its criteria works. So, I assume that the process’ speed is faster as LMIA as. I guess that it would be the same as 450+600=1050 points with LMIA, so the invitation would be faster for CEC as well, being invited on the next round. Am I right?

How long does a person that applied through CEC by EE take to get ITA?


Thanks,

I have scored 398 CRS points but last draw has not come down below 450..

Please guide if there is any other way apart from the draw system.

Yes, have registered for another IELTS. I'm single I changed the score slightly on the CRS calculator, I realised a high score does give significant push. So one should aim for a very high IELTS score. Let me know of any material you're looking at for IELTS test
