Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[asaf]

Dear Friend,

I haven't logged in for a long time So asking few basic question:

1. Process of sending the educational documents for assessment.( what are the documents ; where to send; how to pay the fees; when shall I get the reply) etc.
2. Minimum IELTS score for application . CLB 7 in each means what.Should it be generl or academic score.

Will appriciate if you please share some easy link as well.



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.

Hi Guys

I am facing a problem when downloading this form, even though I have changed my adobe version: Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008] (PDF, 496.57 KB)

Could anyone help me to forward this document (if you have) or send me the link that I can have it from different source?

Many thanks

Hi all,
while creating EE profile how does mentioning my partner's education background and work history would affect? and what if I do not want to have them assessed in my CRS.

I want CIC to caclulate CRS based on my credentials only?

If I mention my partner's credentials, then does by default CIC takes both of us while calculating CRS?

Hi Members,

I wanted guidance to understand if there is any cap (limit) on the ITA issued per NOC under the EE program.

I tried evaluating my CRS, with me being the primary applicant and my score was 373, while if I make my wife the primary applicant our score significantly increases to 444 (which is quiet close the last cut-off of 461 issued by the CIC).

I am a software professional having 11 yrs of experience whereas my wife has been a part of HR's Learning & Development team at a private organization from July 2007 till August 2014 and after that she has joined a management college as an Assistant Professor.

I am not sure if there is any quota for the grant of ITA to a particular type of NOC and don't know if making my wife the primary applicant would be a better option?

I have provided the details of our profile which might be helpful to evaluate and suggest the best alternative to me.

Regards
PBJ


My Profile:

Age: 35 Yrs
Education: MCA - Master's Degree (Accessed by WES)
Occupation: Project Manager - Software Development
Current Role: Project Management + Business Development
Experience: 11 Yrs
Language: L/R/S/W - 8/7/6.5/7.5


My Wife's Profile:

Occupation: HR- Training & Development
Current Role: Assistant Professor (Private Management College)

I need urgent help on this please :

I have query related to including my spouse in the OINP/PNP application. As of now she is not having her passport ready, we have applied it and expect to get it in about 15 to 20 days.

So I created Express Entry (EE) profile for only myself as of now, however I declared while creating the EE profile that I am married. My EE score is 427 right now. Even if I would have included my wife in the application my score would be 401 (and 411 with ECA and more if she gives IELTS) which is more than the OINP eligibility requirement.

I have already got the PT notification from Ontario and I am now ready to send my application in few days.

My questions are:

1. Can I apply for OINP for only me as of now, declaring that I am married but choosing no to the option of accompany family members ?
2. After sending my application to Ontario, would it be fine if I update my EE profile to add my wife (with score being more than 400)?

Thanks in advance.

I did my eca report through WES and they dont charge extra for having more than one detree evaluated so you might as well have both done at the same time.

There is no downside to just having both done and get your assessment based on your full qualifications.
