Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi,
Apart from IELTS Can I appear for another test such as CELPIP-G (General) to get PR visa for canada immigration? Will CELPIP be tougher or easier than IELTS ? Kindly help to answer so that accordingly I will start preparing.

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.

This was really a big help for so many people. Thanks!

If you completed a 1 year program the you will receive a 1 year work permit. So far IRCC has made no announcements about changes to this rule due to COVID-19.

Hi Everyone!

Hope all are safe and healthy!

I have received SINP nomination on 17 April. I've will accept it soon as I'm delaying the ITA given the COVID situation.

I have 2 questions for which I'm seeking expert advice. Although these queries may be repeat, but I'm posting as I didn't get a clear answer:

1. My EE profile is expiring on 28 June 2020. If i receive ITA before that date, will have to create new EE profile?

2. Do we need to get fresh letters as of current date for:
a. proof of funds from banks; and
b. from employers (including past employers)?

I have letters from banks and employers which I had submitted at the time of SINP application. I can get fresh letter from my current employer.

I believe many will be in similar situation where we are unable to travel or unable to get such letters due to lockdown / closure of offices / banks.

Appreciate your response in advance.

Regards,
Anand
