Hello guys.

I´ve been working in Canada under a skilled NOC, but my salary is lower than the NOC´s average. Does this mean I will not be given points for Canadian Experience when I appy to Express Entry? Please help. Thank you!

(My job offer will have the proper salary for my NOC)
There is no wage requirement for CEC. You're fine.

What is your job? Salary? And the average salary for that job according to NOC?

Hello
I worked at an entry level job in BC in 2018. By January 2019 i was promoted to the supervisor position and getting an hourly pay of $15. At that time in 2019 the minimum wage was 12.65 in BC. Then it increased to 13.85 in june 2019 and now it has increased to $14.60 as of june 2020. Can my application be rejected as the officer might think the salary is low?
looking forward to your replies

It doesn't matter generally.. But if it's way too low, the officer would get suspicious. Like if you say $10-$15 for a computer programmer in Canada, it will definitely raise red flag.
I have 1 year experience of food service supervisor noc code 6311, and pay rate is minimum at that time.
Is it effect on my file for express entry?
Thanks in advance
