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

In my case I have not graduated from Canadian post secondary qualification nor obtained an lmia. My both degrees (foreign) are however equivalent to Canadian degrees (evaluation done) and I am FSW Outland. These changes should not then affect me - correct?

Correct, they wouldn't affect you.

Is your work permit contains employer name? If so, u will get 50 points in new system.

I don't understand. You just need to have a WP containing employer name (mine does) to get 50 points? I think it is only for positive LMIA/NAFTA/ICT ... ?
Someone please clarify this for me. Thanks.

A work permit with the employer name and for NAFTA, ICT etc (not lmia) 1 year of experience for the 50 points.

• Brace yourself! the new system is here to stay:
  
  http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2016/2016-11-12/html/notice-avis-eng.php#na1
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  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
  
  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
  
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I heard that new immigration (Express Entry) rule is coming soon.
Do you know when about this new rule will be applied?
Because my freind got her LMIA last month (only valid until December) and only need IELTS exam to go on pool.
She still hope LMIA points 600 points until end of December. (Not new rule, 50 points)

Please give me your opinion.

Thank you very much.
Then, I have one more question.
Since the new rule is applied on November 19th and LMIA points decreased very much, does the cut off points that have PR invitation also getting lower?
If it does, how much do you expecting the cut off line?

Because she had 817 points when the old rule applied, but after the LMIA points decreased, it will be 267.
I guess this point is hard to get the PR invitation?

We don't know what will happen with the cutoff, international students received more points so we'll have to wait and see.

Your friend has to do her IELTS and get her educational credentials assessed (if she hasn't done so). If she's below 400 it is unlikely she will ever receive an invitation.

When you create your EE profile, do you need ECA or you only need to submit it after receiving an ITA. Please forgive me if this question was asked before. Thanks.

You need the ECA before the ITA, otherwise her profile will be deemed ineligible.

IETLS and ECA are the first two steps in creating an EE profile.
