Hi everyone,

I hope that someone can assist me with filling in the required information for the education portion of the Express Entry profile.

I have received my WES ECA report with the following information:

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY Bachelor's degree (three years) and bachelor’s degree (four years)

1. Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: South Africa Credential: Bachelor of Science
Year: 2014
Awarded By: Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University
Status: Recognized Institution
Major: Information Systems
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (three years)

2. Credential Authentication: Documents were sent directly by the institution
Country: South Africa
Credential: Bachelor of Science (Honours)
Year: 2015
Awarded By: Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University
Status: Recognized Institution
Major: Computer Science
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

The qualification that WES deems to be equivalent to a four-year bachelor's was a one-year programme after I had completed my three-year bachelor's degree.

I am unsure what to fill in on the Express Entry profile.

Must I just claim one four-year bachelor's degree

OR

one three-year bachelor's and one "one-year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute" and choose the ECA equivalency for both as a bachelor's degree?

I want to claim as many points as possible, but I do not want to misrepresent and get banned just for misinterpreting the WES report.

Is it possible to get into pool with the ECA no if I have one fr
the ECA no. is the one that ends with IMM, so if you have it then you can enter. But without the final ECA results one is not recommended to enter the pool with a guess ECA no. if that is even possible.

Sorry.i only have WES application no. Does the ECA no gets generated only post the completion of assessment?

Hi all,

My Sister is working fulltime at Walmart and she injured herself at the workplace. She had already completed 18 months at Walmart but now she can not go to work for about two-three months and her work permit expires in Sept. 2020. When the incident happened she was waiting for her two years to complete so she can apply for permanent residence as her CRS is staying at around 445 with one year experience.

My main question is that will these three months period count under her work experience or not??

Any help/suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hello people,

Need your help/advice/suggestion.

Is there a thread in this forum that someone can point me to, that will provide a step-by-step instructions of how to apply for Express Entry process(in order).
If here is no thread of that can, could someone who has in-depth understanding of the process, kindly create one and put it as sticky?

I am bit confused as to what would be the first step in applying for the EE and its corresponding steps.
Though website provide instructions to certain extent, i am not entirely convinced as i understand there is lot more required than what is mentioned on the website.

These instruction will be helpful not just to me but many aspirants who are seeking a lucid understanding of the process.

Thank you all for your time. :)

Hi all,
I would like to ask for your advise, guys. I really need help here.
1) I have an EE profile with my spouse accompanying at 455 but I am now thinking about trying to apply without souse which will give me 467 and real hope. Does anyone know if IRCC tracks if there was a profile on the same name before ? Can they reject later on the grounds that I tried to cheat applying without spouse? The reason why he won't accompany is his work contract in other country.

2) I don't have a bank account and proof of funds can be provided by my husband. I know this is allowed when he is dependant but how it works if he is not? We can make a notarised letter that I am allowed to use money from this account.

I would really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you in advance

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.
What makes you eligible for the express entry program? I have done that quiz twice and both of the times they tell me that I'm not eligible, both of the times I have been so confident and sure that I would get accepted, I have a very advance English level I finished my high school I have over 10 years of experience in what I do, I have a wife and daughter I really don't know what I'm missing? Please help.
