I need help for applying Express Entry - Canada from India

[mejaz]

Hi,
Below is my qualifications

Bachelor Degree in Computer Science (India)
8+ Years of experience in Web Development and SEO
presently working as Self Employed (Website Development & SEO) - I have one question for this point, i am doing self business since 3 years, will it create any issues, as its self business.

My family (Wife and 1 kid)

My age : 35

Im 35 too and in our case the biggest problems the age and the fact that we don't have a masters degree. You need to score a minimum of L-8, R-7, W-7 & S-7 in IELTS to get maximum score. You will also need to get ECA done for your wife's degrees and if possible get her to do IELTS too if you have any hope of getting near a 400 CRS score. I assume, you will need at least around 380-415 to get ITA this year.

Here is the CRS tool. Just put in your details and some random IELTS score for yourself and you will see why IELTS is the most important factor. Also this will give you an idea what other things you will require to get a good CRS. Hope its helpful.

Getting CLB 9 is not so difficult. You can get it with good practice. I am not aware of anyone getting job offer from Job bank.
I have very good materials for IELTS (soft copies) but the size is in GB's. I am in Chennai, if you have anyone in Chennai they can copy in a pen drive.

Hello JaJamal,

IELTS valid for 2 year, WES valid for 5 years, So plan your tasks accordingly.
Assume that you will get WES attestation, estimate the score and calculate how much you need in IELTS. This is very critical. For people without Canadian experience, you have to score CLB 9 to have eligible in EE.

1. Start preparing for the IELTS exam
2. Create WES reference id, start the ECA process. This approximately takes 2 months and depends on your university as well.
3. Plan your IELTS exam date after you send the documents to WES because WES will take 21 days to complete the attestation.
4. Create your EE profile once the IELTS and WES results are received.

You got ITA? very good dear,,, how long it took for you to get this things done, please let me know your history, i hope this will help me to get things easy, did you applied direct or went through agent.,

First of all check the document requirements on WES site from below link:
http://www.wes.org/ca/eca/requireddocuments/index.asp

Mostly they need copy of "Final / Provisional Degree Certificate" and "Annual Statement of Marks / Academic Transcript"
Both above should be attested and in a sealed envelope by University.

Once you get sealed envelope by University then register on WES and pay fees.Next step is to send that sealed envelope to WES. Also add reference number on top of envelope.

Hi

Hi Shahid,
No problem, I will check tonight for the size and suggest how we can transfer the data.

Yes, my PR application is progress. Start the preparation for IELTS exam, and in parallel work out the transcripts for WES. Book you IELTS exam after you send the documents to WES. WES attestation will take 2 months approximately, so use this entire period to prepare for IELTS exam. I am sure with my materials you can easily score CLB 9 or 10 in Reading and Listening. For writing you will have all the books and tests, but you need some expert in english to assess your writing, and same goes for speaking. If you are so serious in moving to Canada, then look for some courses with British council. They have courses to improve your IELTS score.

For me it took more than a year to get the ITA, because I was expecting the CRS to come down. As of now, CRS is good, so I think you may get the ITA earlier than me. I wish you get it soon

You can send certificates and mark-sheets with someone else (your friend etc.) Just call your University and ask them if they are ready to accept documents from your friend.
In most of the cases universities ask for 'Letter of Authorization" (Which basically says that you authorize your friend to submit documents in University on your behalf.)

There are 30 points for your wife I think, IELTS (10), ECA (10) and Work experience (10). What is the CLB you checked for yourself to get 340 points?
