SUMMARY OF ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL EXPRESS ENTRY PNP STREAMS

[Irmabek]

Thank you very much!

 

[kamy]

My wife didn't have a surname in all her documents before marriage, after marriage she added my surname which is also on her latest passport now, I believe this amounts to name change.


First Name Last Name(Surname)

Before Marriage Swara Preet
After Marriage Swara Preet Singh

So, I am trying to marking this in online PR application which opens another field to mention her previous name, since she didn't have surname which was the only difference. I tried it but it doesn't let me progress with surname blank.How can I get over this?

CIC is showing a required document for this change, I believe it would require an notorized affidavit, please share your experience.

I've answered this in another thread.

Hi,

Would like to be absolutely clear, which NOC to select? How can this be done? Is there a CIC email id which helps to clarify the doubt. My spouse's experience falls into both the category - 1111 and 0111. Which one to select?

Thank you,
Pawshi

First you should get the responsibilities listed and make sure only these sentences are getting printed on your experience letter which you are going to acquire. Then send these responsibilities(exactly same) to the email address shared by istari and tell them you are thinking of this NOC applies to you and ask their suggestion.
From my experience, do not deviate from the list of responsibilities shared with NOC team and which are on your experience letter. NOC team may suggest a different NOC if you reword or cut down some of the words to shorten.

 

[Pawshi]

Thank you for the suggestions. Much appreciated.

 

[Pawshi]

generally, how much time they take to calrify and clear the doubt. Any ideas?

Hi all,

Isn't it a big problem for beginners to go through all the EE PNP streams and understand the eligibility requirements? The amount of info that one needs to go through is overwhelming. In this post I have summarized the eligibility requirements for all EE specific PNP streams. So hopefully, this post will make it a tad bit easier for everyone to research on relevant PNP streams.


[size=10pt][size=15pt]What is "Express Entry Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)"?[/size][/size]

Majority of provinces in Canada are able to nominate immigrants through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Since January 1, 2015, many provinces have joined Express Entry system to manage certain quota of their overall intake of immigrants, thus creating specific streams that are more commonly referred to as Express Entry Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP). These immigrants must have the skills, education and work experience that suit the requirements of relevant provinces. In addition, the candidates selected through Express Entry Provincial Nominee Programs must show intent to reside in the province that has nominated them. A nomination from one of the provinces under Express Entry Provincial Nominee Programs adds 600 additional points to your overall CRS and in most cases will secure you an ITA in the next draw.

Each province has its own eligibility requirements, nomination guidelines, application procedure, application processing time, quota for their Express Entry Provincial Nominee Programs. One thing that beginners tend to commonly miss out is to make sure that they meet both EE as well as PNP requirements.


[size=10pt][size=15pt]Where can I find more information on Express Entry Provincial Nominee Programs?[/size][/size]

This post only has a summary of requirements meant for a quick reference. Direct links to respective EE streams have been provided so if you find a relevant PNP then you can proceed with further research on province website.


[size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=15pt]Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)[/size][/size][/size][/size]

Alberta does not have any dedicated streams under Express Entry category. There are non- Express Entry streams but processing times for those are comparatively higher. If you wish to immigrate to Alberta using non-Express Entry PNP stream then Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) may be an option for you. There are 3 sub-streams under AINP with different eligibility criteria:

Employer Driven Stream
Strategic Recruitment Stream
Self-Employed Farmer Stream

[size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=15pt]Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)[/size][/size][/size][/size]

Manitoba has 3 streams under its PNP programs.

There is no “Express Entry only” stream for Manitoba but applicants interested in Manitoba can apply under MPNP for Skilled Workers stream. From the overall inventory of MPNP applicants, Manitoba will decide who gets Nomination under Express Entry and who gets nomination under regular Manitoba Provincial Nomination stream. There isn’t too much clarity provided on their selection process for Express Entry other than the fact that you must be eligible under one of the express entry programs as well i.e FSW, CEC, FSTP.

Also, if applying through MPNP, you must create your Express Entry Profile after you have been instructed to do so by the province.

“I have an active application with the MPNP and would like to use Express Entry. What should I do?

At this stage, only those MPNP applicants directly contacted by the MPNP and advised to do so should submit an Express Entry profile as the MPNP will otherwise not be able to assist you with your Express Entry submission. All applicants should follow the steps outlined in their Letter of Approval from the MPNP when applying for permanent residence.”

“I have not applied to the MPNP, but would like to be nominated by Manitoba through Express Entry. What should I do?

At this time, the MPNP can only assist candidates who have already submitted a full application to the MPNP and only AFTER their application has been assessed by Manitoba.”

There are two pathways to Manitoba under Skilled Workers stream

Skilled Workers in Manitoba

Applications are accepted from qualified temporary foreign workers and international student graduates who are currently working in Manitoba and have been offered a permanent job with their Manitoba employer.

Find details here : http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/mpnp-for-skilled-workers/eligibility/eligibility-swm/

Skilled Workers Overseas

Applications are accepted from qualified skilled workers who can demonstrate a strong connection to the province through family or friends, past education or employment, or by invitation of the MPNP, and be assessed sufficient points for five eligibility factors – age, English proficiency, work experience, education and adaptability.

In addition to demonstrating a strong connection to Manitoba, every candidate who wants to be considered under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream must score at least 60 points based on five factors in order to be eligible. If you do not have a connection to Manitoba, you are not eligible under this stream, regardless of your points total.

Find details on connection to Manitoba, documents required and Manitoba points system here: http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/mpnp-for-skilled-workers/eligibility/eligibility-swo/

If you meet the eligibility requirements MPNP is a three-step process

STEP 1 : Submit an Expression of Interest : http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/mpnp-for-skilled-workers/expression-of-interest/

EOIs are ranked against others in the pool of submitted EOIs. On a regular basis, the MPNP conducts draws from this pool and invites the highest-scoring candidates to submit full applications. The draws may exclude certain occupations or profiles. Details on exclusions are provided on the Immigratemanitoba.com website at the time of the draw.

http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/2015/04/23/expression-of-interest-frequently-asked-questions/


STEP 2 : The highest-scoring qualified candidates with a connection to Manitoba are invited to submit an MPNP application

Ranking system breakdown here : http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/MPNPRankingPoints.pdf

STEP 3 : Following a thorough assessment, the MPNP nominates successful candidates to make a separate application to the Government of Canada for permanent resident visas for you and your family.

I would really appreciate it if people who have applied through PNP streams could review the content relevant to their PNPs and highlight any corrections that are needed.

Good luck to all the applicants!

The highest maximum score is 1200, whether you are single or married, so it depends how many points you can claim for your spouse.

Go through the grid yourself and look at the difference in points: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

A while ago i was quite clear about my NOC Code but after reading above few comments i got confused.

I have submitted by Profile with NOC 2131 & currently standing at 465 CRS.
My under graduation is BSc Civil Engineering & Post graduation is MSc Construction Management
Reason behind selecting NOC 2131 was due to the fact that its descriptions matches both my experience and education.

NOC 2231 (Civil Engineering technologists & technicians) is quite related to my 1.5 years of experience but not qualifications as it states

"Completion of a two- or three-year college program in civil engineering technology or a closely related discipline is usually required for civil engineering technologists. Completion of a one- or two-year college program in civil engineering technology is usually required for civil engineering technicians"

NOC 2234 (Construction Estimators) does not match the qualifications but part of my experience & and what i have been doing for last 1.5 years

"Prepare estimates of probable costs of materials, labour and equipment for construction projects based on contract bids, quotations, schematic drawings and specifications
Advise on tendering procedures, examine and analyze tenders, recommend tender awards and conduct negotiations
Establish and maintain tendering process and set up cost monitoring and reporting systems and procedures

Prepare and maintain a directory of suppliers, contractors and subcontractors
Liaise, consult and communicate with engineers, architects, owners, contractors and subcontractors, and prepare economic feasibility studies on changes and adjustments to cost estimates
Manage and co-ordinate construction projects and prepare construction progress schedules"



Completion of secondary school is required.

or
Several years of experience as a qualified tradesperson in a construction trade such as plumbing, carpentry or electrical, are required.
Certification by the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors is usually required.
