i am completely confused regarding this province nomination
1. If your profile is in EE, how does profile get picked up? People with same NOC code may or maynot be picked up - is it random?
2. Can one play aroudn with NOC code.. say have my profile in EE and i want to apply to other provinces, can i play around with NOC code (or they must be the same?)
3. spoke to a consultant - they are reputed but they said they charge money and will arrange employment proof to push the case into provincial program.. (so say technician is in demand then they get all paper work and position me as technician , irrespective whether i am phD)
4. Also, agency said.. they expect a major drop in nov.. i can't see how scores will ever come down.. any thoughts?
is it true that the surge in score this time is because provinces gave out more visas and hence peaked scores
Hi dear,
1. Provinces such as Ontario and BC has their PNP system linked to Express Entry, so your profile will be picked if your NOC is in their list of eligible occupations. Additionally, you also have to meet CRS points requirement because usually Ontario sent Notification of Interest to eligible EE candidates based on their CRS points as well as EE profile submission date.
2. You can change your NOC as long as it is still match to your work duties. Otherwise it will be deemed as misrepresentation in order to get letter of interest from provinces who support that NOC and you are risking yourself a 5-year ban from entering Canada
3. Before you give money to any consultant, you have to make sure that they are one of legal and registered Canadian Immigration consultants. You also have to know that only Canadian citizens and permanent resident holders can become registered canadian immigration consultants/agents. They have to do examination and get license in order to operate as immigration consultants/agents. Therefore, charging you money for consultation regarding canadian immigration is illegal. You can check if they are registered or not from the following link:

Furthermore, asking money for arranging employment in Canada for foreigners who are overseas is an illegal practise. The immigration officer will investigate your employment offer and make sure that the company that give u the offer letter already doing everything they can to advertise the position and genuinely cannot find local worker and that is why they are hiring overseas worker. However, if the Immigration officer find out that the company receive money from the overseas worker for the offer letter, you will be ban from entering Canada for 5 years.
4. Yes. I believe that the score will come down sooner or later but I don't know by how much exactly by November. Provinces only issued nomination not visa. Only Canadian Immigration has the power to grant visas. You can use the nomination from province to apply for visa to Canadian Immigration. I believe the only provinve that have separate immigration system from the main Canadian Immigration is Quebec.
Good luck
