1. What is Express Entry and how does it work?

Express Entry is a new way of managing applications in a number of existing economic immigration programs:

Federal Skilled Worker Program,
Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
Canadian Experience Class.


5. Will Express Entry change immigration program requirements?

No. Express Entry will not change immigration program requirements. Express Entry is not a new program. It is a new way for CIC to manage the intake of economic immigration applications online.

You must qualify for one of these three programs: FSW, FSTP or CEC to have your application processed under EE. It's an application processing system, not an immigration program.

If you have a job offer you dont need to show funds.
but if you do want to show funds, amount depends on no. of dependants.

If your HR cant mention duties. Ask any of your senior to write a letter of refrence and mentiin your duties on that. If even it isnt possible write your duties in an affidavit and atttach your HR LETTER with it.

Hello sumitpal22.

Thanks for making such an elaborate post on FAQs. It is very helpful.

There is one thing though which is radically different from what I have read on this website as well as heard from immigration law videos on Youtube etc. That is your FAQ # 9. Could you please cite a reference for this?

sumitpal22 said:
9) WORK EXPERIENCE IS COUNTED FOR ONLY ONE OCCUPATION YOU ARE INTENDING TO APPLY!
e.g IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE= 1 YEAR IN 1212, 1 YEAR IN 2148, 2 YEARS IN 0911 AND YOUR INTENDED OCCUPATION IS 0911, ONLY YOUR TWO YEARS EXPERIENCES WILL BE ACCOUNTED FOR, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO MENTION ALL YOUR OCCUPATION WHILE FILLING UP THE ONLINE FORM.
My understanding is this:

Your experience relevance depends upon the immigration category in which you intend to apply. For instance, if you intend to apply under FSW, then so long as your experience is in 0, A, B category jobs on NOC, you can add up experience in all such jobs (multiple NOC codes) to claim the experience points. However, you must have completed at least 12 months equivalent full time paid employment in at least one of those codes.

Under CRS in EE, you can again add up your experience in jobs with multiple NOC codes (0, A and B category) to claim points for "skills transferability".

Your take?

I am on closed work permit since April 2014 through a positive LMO (That was before they changed to LMIA) and my employer gave me a job offer. My question is can i use the job offer to apply for EE since the job is valid until April 2016 or i need another job offer with a positive LMIA.

My second question i had applied for CEC in 2014 application is under second review can someone go ahead and apply in EE under CEC.
