Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[LizzyBob]

Hi there..

just wanted to know how long is this Waiting going to be. on an average

Its been less than 2 weeks since I entered the pool.

I am 24yrs old, masters degree.. n so on an so... total CRS points with 453. Single person...

now how long will this wait take. Should I take all my police clearance and medical and all that and keep it ready. Or the wait will be drastically long. so dont worry about it until the ITA comes.?

In my opinion, 453 is a bit low, you might not receive ITA in the next couple of months. I do not advise you to do your medicals or police clearance yet. I would like to understand why your CRS is 453, What was your IELTS score? did you get up to CLB9 in all aspects? How many years of work experience do you have?. If it is possible for you to increase your CRS points, (like improving IELTS score) then I suggest you do that instead.

Hello Everyone, I have a question about creating my express entry profile now with my highest degree.
I just completed my Master of Business Administration degree about two weeks ago at Vancouver Island University in British Columbia,Canada. All my results are posted on student records and I have officially completed the course requirements. I will not be able to receive my certificate until the convocation date which is on the 8th of June,2016

The question is: Can I choose the Masters degree as the highest level of education now as I am yet to receive my official certificate?
I have done my language test and bachelors degree conversion with WES. Your suggestions please!!!

Thank you .

Honestly I'd like to know how can I improve my score now.

OK so here are my details
age: 24
IELTS - L:9, S:8.5, R:7.5, W:7.5 Total : 8 - i just walked into the IELTS exam and got that..
Masters Degree from the UK
Work experience : only 1.

so here is how it goes.

I did my Mechanical Engineering and then worked for 1 yr - NOC - 6221 - Technical sales specialists - wholesale trade (Sales Engineer) - 1 year

then I did my Masters (MSc Supply chain management) and my current job is - NOC - 1225 - Purchasing agents and officers (Purchase Engineer) - 5 months.

So I entered the pool using NOC 6221.

Honestly I could use the advice of Professionals, if anyone could tell me how Can I improve my CRS score now..

Ok well, looks like you have CLB 10 in all aspects except reading (which doesn't make much of a difference, only 3 extra points), the real problem is your amount of work experience :-X . At this stage, you can only improve your score by getting a provincial nomination OR a Canadian job offer OR pass the French language test ;D . You could look into these options; or wait and see if the cut-off marks go back down to the 450 range (it may take a while).

Ok then I also have one more question, I dont have the 13000 Dollars in funds my self.
Ive only saved up till 8000 Dollars yet..

If I get an ITA, my dad said he will give me 10000 Dollars.

As a "GIFT" for me to spend. I will not owe him anything back. It will be my money after that.

will an increase in the bank account and a letter from him proving that the increase of money in the account from my father giving his son to full fill his Canadian Dream

Will that work?

Like I mean it genuinely he said he will give me the money.

Yes. This will work. You would need the following -

1) Your dad's bank statement showing the debit
2) Your bank statement showing the credit
3) Photocopy of the check
4) A "gift deed" from your dad telling that the money is being given as a gift and you have no obligation whatsoever to repay back and you are free to sue it for any purpose
5) A letter from the bank confirming the balance (along with your name, account number, date of opening)

There is a very good chance that you'll get an ITA in the very next draw with CRS 481.

Hi,

I completed B.Tech and Master in Business Administration (part time). I got these assessed by IQAS with certificate saying
'Bachelor's degree generally compares to the completion of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree..' and 'The post-graduate diploma generally compares to the completion of a Master of Business Administration degree..'

Now while filling the online application what should I select in 'Study' tab for level of education for each course?

1) Should I mention 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.' against each Study??
2) or should I mention 'Bachelor's degree' and 'Master's degree/diploma' separately for respective studies??

Will this affect my points?
