Express visa entrance rejection

[kezzer1]

Hi. My family and i have decided to emigrate to Canada. We have filled in the profile in the CIC visa web page giving all personal, sork and educational details etc and then applied to the express skilled workers visa system. I immediately got a message back stating I was ineligible for the express visa system stating various reasons why I may not have met the criteria. Going through the various reasons, the only one I could conclude was that I did not meet the educational standards required. I do not have a degree however, I do have full high school certificates ( 'O' levels and 2 City & Guilds in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. My partner does have a University degree and is on my application. I was surprised to be rejected within a few seconds of my application. I am a qualified Locomotive Engineer with 12 years experience. I was a HGV Lorry driver prior to that and a British soldier prior to that. Is it the fact that our educational certificates are not certified by the ECA that my application as been rejected so quickly? I would not have thought that our educational certificates had to be accredited before applying. As I am in no position to improve my education, is there any other way of applying for a permanent residency visa for Canada for my Family and I?

Don't give up. Yes, first of all, you do need to have your educations evaluated - both of you. Then, although you don't have a university degree, you have guild memberships and certificates, and some particular qualification as a locomotive engineer. Have your qualifications for those things evaluated.

Then look up the NOC codes for the job(s) you do or have done for more than a year. These codes MUST fall into the NOC 0, A, or, most likely, B categories for you to be eligible. Do the same for your partner.

You and your partner should also take the IELTS English test, and the French test if either of you speak French. I know it's your native language and the language of your education - that's true of me, too, and I've taken it twice.

Once you get your educational assessments and IELTS back, you and your partner should check which of you will get higher scores as the Primary Applicant. The partner of the primary applicant will get points for language skills and education, and possibly for work experience, but those points are much lower. Whoever has the higher points for education and language should be the primary applicant.

Remember, too, that they must have a skill that fits into the Federal Skilled Worker NOC group, or the Federal Skilled Trades. Actually, for you - look into the Federal Skilled Trades requirements and see if they fit.

Applying for Express Entry is a fairly complicated thing. To qualify, you have to meet two sets of criteria - those of EE, which include age, education, language skills, and work experience - and those of the Canadian Experience, Federal Skilled Workers, or Federal Skilled Trades class. Get your educations and language abilities evaluated, and while you wait for the results, read up on the separate programs and their qualifications, and find the NOC codes that best fit your jobs.

Good luck!

We have both done the IELTS English test and both of us exceed the minimum requirement of 6 on each subject. Wr have filled out the profile pages that require us to put in our work experience and current job along with the NOC codes. We just wasn't aware of having to accredit our educational certificates at this early stage. Where do I have to go to obtain the educational assessments? Do I have to send them to a Canadian based company/educational authority or is there somewhere in the UK where this can be done? Thank you for your response and any help You or anyone can offer.
