[Alexios07]

• Brace yourself! the new system is here to stay:

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Canadian educational credentials
  
  
  The points that are to be assigned for a Canadian educational credential are the following:
  
  • 0 points, if the foreign national has a secondary school educational credential;
    
  • 15 points, if the foreign national has an eligible credential from a one-year or two-year post-secondary program;
    
  • 30 points, if the foreign national has either:
  
  +an eligible credential from a post-secondary program of three years or more,
  
  +an eligible credential from a university-level program at the master’s level or at the level of an entry-to-practice professional degree for an occupation listed in the National Occupational Classification matrix at Skill Level A for which licensing by a provincial regulatory body is required, or
  
  +an eligible credential from a university-level program at the doctoral level.

New information we have gathered so far

• 30 more days for ITA submission -> We know have 90 days or 3 months to submit our application
  
• We can see our rankings in the pool
  
• LMIA: No more 600 points. You only get 200 points if the NOC of your job starts with 00 (LIST here). 50 pts for the rest.
  • PNP is now the only way to get full 600 points
  
  Question: How do you know 200 points is the maximum for LMIA? the source doesn't say anything about the removal of 600 points
  
  Answers: Because by successfully getting an LMIA approved, your job is recognized a valid job offer, and with valid job offer, you get 600 points in the old system
  
  

  What makes a job offer valid under Express Entry?
  
  A valid job offer must be supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=695&top=29

  Now the new system clearly states that, qualifying offer or valid job offer aka LMIA can only get either 200 points or 50 points only
  
  

  
  If a foreign national has a qualifying offer of arranged employment, they may be assigned points as follows:
  
  (a) 200 points, if the offer is for employment in an occupation contained in Major Group 00 of the National Occupation Classification; or
  (b) 50 points, if the offer is any other qualifying offer of arranged employment.

  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Skills Transferability changes
  
  1. Level of foreign education & Language
  
  a. 13 points for post secondary credential (1 year or more) & CLB 7 or higher in all areas with one or more areas below CLB 9.
  b. 25 points for post secondary credential (1 year or more) & CLB 9 or higher in all areas.
  c. 25 points for 2 or more degrees/Masters/PhD & CLB 7 or higher in all areas with one or more areas below CLB 9.
  d. 50 points for 2 or more degrees/Masters/PhD & CLB 9 or higher in all areas.
  
  2. Level of foreign education & Canadian work experience
  
  a. 13 points for post secondary credential (1 year or more) & 1 year of CWE.
  b. 25 points for post secondary credential (1 year or more) & 2 or more years of CWE.
  c. 25 points for 2 or more degrees/Masters/PhD & 1 year of CWE.
  d. 50 points for 2 or more degrees/Masters/PhD & 2 or more years of CWE.
  
  3. Level of language & Foreign work experience
  
  a. 13 points for 1/2 years of FWE & CLB 7 or higher in all areas with one or more areas below CLB 9.
  b. 25 points for 1/2 years of FWE & CLB 9 or higher in all areas.
  c. 25 points for at least 3 years of FWE & CLB 7 or higher in all areas with one or more areas below CLB 9.
  d. 50 points for at least 3 years of FWE & CLB 9 or higher in all areas.
  
  Maximum possible points on Skills Transferability remains 100 (max of 50 in each section).

I think so, based on what I've read so far. It's pretty fair I think.

No mention of Canadian siblings....

And this...

Points for qualifying offer of arranged employment
29 (1) If a foreign national has a qualifying offer of arranged employment, they may be assigned points as follows:

(a) [size=10pt]200 points[/size], if the offer is for employment in an occupation contained in Major Group 00 of the National Occupation Classification; or

This seems 100% fair. It's the equivalent of giving them 1 extra year of Canadian work experience.

Foreign national student or just a foreign national :s

Yup, more than enough for CEC applicants.

And this...

It means 50 pts for LMIA and 200 pts for NOC A and 0 occupations?

Foreign national - LMIA jobs.

So is this saying the 600 points is gone and the max now is 800?

Re: New Express Entry ranking system will be announced in Nov 19th

And this...

(b) 13 points, if the foreign national has one or two years of foreign work experience and their proficiency in their first official language is assessed at level 7 or higher in all language skill areas, with one or more areas assessed at less than level 9;
(c) 25 points, if the foreign national has one or two years of foreign work experience and their proficiency in their first official language is assessed at level 9 or higher in all language skill areas;
(d) 25 points, if the foreign national has at least three years of foreign work experience and their proficiency in their first official language is assessed at level 7 or higher in all language skill areas, with one or more areas assessed at less than level 9; and
(e) 50 points, if the foreign national has at least three years of foreign work experience and their proficiency in their first official language is assessed at level 9 or higher in all language skill areas.

FWE points for less than 3 years as well.

I think we still have 600pts through PNPs, they just significantly nerf the LMIA down.

Re: New Express Entry ranking system will be announced in Nov 19th

Most importantly, these Instructions come into force on November 19, 2016. Probably no more draws based on the old scoring pattern.

It's super slow, I guess too many traffic. It can crash at any given time now.

Guys, please post your findings for each section. I will summarize it at the first post.

I'm pretty confused, not going to lie... but it's basically spaced it all out a bit more? Hmmmm... so the points will come into force on 19th... i think I need a new calculator.

Thanks, CIC... moving the goal posts again!!
