New Express Entry ranking system will be applied on Nov 19th (detail inside!)

Doesn't mention it has to be a Fortune 500 company... Really could be any company.

CIC officers are trained to spot things like with hawkish eye. If anyone tries to fake being a president of a suspicious company, that application would be in the garbage even before he realises what happened. Not to mention being blacklisted for potential scamming.
'Anyone can fake xyz' do not hold much ground with PR application. People who try to do that usually do not have a happy ending.

Hi all

I studied Fast track Diploma program for 2 years in Centennial College in Toronto. However, I graduated with 3 years diploma because I started from the second year.
In this situation, how many points will get extra? 15 points because I studied 2 years or 30 points because I graduated with 3 years diploma program?

Thanks

I would guess just 15. You didn't do all of the 3 years.

Hi,
what would happen with us who have received ITA on November 2, 2016, and still haven't submitted the application? We are still waiting for Medical to be done, because the earliest you can book for is in three weeks (at least in Calgary). My Medical is booked for November 21st, and changes are taking place on Nov 19.
My ITA states I need to obtain all the documents and submit the application until January 2nd, 2017. Can they cancel my ITA?

NO. You already got ITA. It's effective Nov 19.

Thank you for your answer. Because my consultant is pushing me to obtain all the documents (including the medical that is scheduled 2 days after the changes take place) and submit the application before Nov 19. But it didn't make sense to me, which is why I am asking. Now I can relax.

If I amend my PGWP by adding employer's name to make it a closed work permit, am I eligible for extra 50 points? I'm just curious.

I don't think we can amend it without obtaining an LMIA.

Hi everyone.

I'm already in Express Entry pool.

I went to 1 year college here in Canada, and currently that education was not added to my points. 0 point.
I thought I was eligible for "two or more post-secondary credentials with at least one being 3+ years" but my 1 year college was just ignored...

But on the new system, will it be counted as points?

I found this part on the new calculation:

"Have you studied in Canada?" (YES!) -> "Were you physically present IN CANADA for at least 8 months during your studies?" (YES!!)


And everyone's EE profile score has not updated, correct? Maybe it'll be automatically updated after Nov 19th?

Just seen the updates to crs score calculations, has been an interesting read. Really pleased to see that they have limited the maximum LMIA bonus points to only the cream of the crop. I've argued several times before that 200 crs points for all LMIAs would be pointless and would have limited effect on the system (after all, it's pretty hard to be eligible for EE and get fewer than 250-300 crs). So the majority of LMIA holders getting 50 points will make them more competitive whilst weeding out the fast food supervisors.

In terms of CRS rank required, I can forsee that scores will remain in a similar region to where they are now in the very short term, potentiality going up. There are undoubtedly candidates who have got Canadian education and were in the 450-460 region who will be bolstered up to 480-490. I don't see that becoming the status quo buy any means though. Now that LMIA holders won't get automatic ITA, those with high human capital will be better represented and will get more ITAs. After the next draw or two, if ITAs stay in the region of 2000, I can foresee a large drop in CRS rank required. I think we'll see the score settle in the 440-450 range for several months as there's quite a backlog there, which will be exacerbated by those with Canadian education getting bonus points. Still, once it clears down, with the pre EE backlog cleared, 2500+ ITAs per draw and fewer getting ITA with low human capital and an LMIA I think scores will eventually settle in the region of 400.

One thing is for sure... if the scores do go up next draw after the 19th as I expect, it'll be wise to stay clear of this forum for a week or two due to the inevitable amount of FUD that some people will start to spread.

In summary -

WINNERS:
*those with high human capital (particularly 450+ in the short term, if you have 400+ you'll be happy soon! )
*those with canadian education
*senior managers with LMIA

LOSERS:
*LMIA holders with low human capital

CRS FORECAST
Short term (November - December) - 470-490
Medium term (January - June) - 440 - 450
Long term - around 400

Got to love a bit of reasoned speculation! I'm really happy with the changes myself, got ielts scores today which will give me and my partner 472 CRS when we apply in January

Bro under new rules I will be at 455, do you think I have a chance?

 

[ravdawg]

Does anyone knowns when this changes take effect?

Did you read the title of this thread?

 

[rottenapple]

So for those who got ITA already.. are they affected on November 19 changes?

No, they are not.

 

[bellaluna]

I didn't see any change in my account and I have Canadian education, nor do I see my ranking in the pool as described in the details.

Do you know what the date today is?

Hint: November 19 has not arrived yet.
