On behalf of my cousin,

My cousin has her birth certificate with her original birth year which is 1990 but her passport was made using 1989 for her early school admission by her parents. And so her passport and educational certificate has birth year 1989 instead of the real one.

Now if she explains the situation in LOE and claims her birth year to be 1990 in her Express Entry profile, will it be ok? Or she should use 1989 as per her passports? Using 1990 ll give her 5 points more.
Birth certificate is not needed on application anywhere whereas passport would be needed not only on application but also for giving ielts. Keep things simple and go with date on passport else you're complicating it too much. It is what it is now. Officially her birth year is 1989 so go with it.

Dear Sir,

I have two work experiences and both of them are in last 10 years.
First job is when I was doing my graduation and I was working as a part time administrative assistant office during for four years. Working hours is 30 hours per week.

Second is after my Post graduation that is for only 15 months. Will my part experience be considered when it is having 30 hours per week. Which NOC should I select for primary occupation.

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.

Hi,

I have a question. Got the upgraded WES document yesterday for MBA and updated my EE profile with this newest information yesterday . My CRS should increase by 7 points from 455. Still it reflects 455. Should I wait for like 24 hours and see or should I write to CIC throug a webform?
Can you please tell me , did WES treat MBA as masters, or yours was 4 year bachelor degree + MBA from university.

Has anyone successfully gotten through with an ECA Canadian equivalency of: "Secondary school diploma from a university-preparatory program with undergraduate credit" as a post-secondary degree/diploma?

I'm wondering if this ECA along with my Bachelor's Degree ECA will qualify as me having "Two or more degrees/diplomas...."

Hi,

I have a cousin brother in Canada (PR holder) who is my father's brother's son (blood related).

Can I mark Yes to the question on whether I have a brother or sister living in Canada who is a PR holder or a citizen?

Thanks in advance for clarifying this!

I think the answer would be no. It is because the relatives considered under Canadian norms is:

1) Spouse or Common Law Partner
2) Dependent Child
3) Dependent child of a dependent child
4) Spouse or Common Law Partner's Dependent Child

Hi
need some advice filling the travel history in eApr.
When I was travelling to US, I had a transit in dubai for about 12 hrs as I remember. In the dubai air port they stamped some stamp on the passport (may be a temporary visa) and was taken to an air port hotel. I then visited the dubai city during this transit and was taken to the air port from the hotel to board the flight to US. Should I indocate this in my travel history. The UAE stamp is visble on the uploaded passport.
Please advise

Seniors in the post please could you assist me with my situation.
I have created my express entry profile with 8 years of experience and later realized that the 1st Year and the Last Year (8th Year) have continuous gaps in employment.1st year net pay in $28000 US Dollars per W2 (Wage and Tax Statement) .Last Year(8th Year) $49000 US Dollars per W2.
6 years period which falls between these 8 years have a constant pay starting from $71,000 in the 2nd Year and Ending at $96,000 in the 6th year.I have had my Employer prepare the Reference letter for 8 Years of full time experience, 40 hours a week without pay mentioned in the Employer reference letter.I would like to change this experience in my Express Entry Profile to 6 Years since I have a continuous employment and have my employer change it from 8 years to 6 years.I created my Express Entry Profile on 27th of May,2019. My Question - Can I delete 2 years of experience among these 8 years in the Work History Section in Express Entry prior to ITA?My Profile Shows Status - Transmitted and gives me an option to modify it? What would be the consequences if I delete 2 Years of Work Experience Prior to ReceIving ITA? Do I have to withdraw my existing profile and create a new profile with 6 years again? But with this I will be loosing the Creation date of 27th of May,2019 and might miss the tie- breaking rule if any draw happens and I get the Invite. Please suggest.

Hello guys,

One question: In the Study and Languages section, do we need to inform about all our education credentials (secondary and post-secondary) or only the ones we chose to get points i.e. MSc degree with ECA reports?

Please help.
