Express Entry CIC application

Hello Asivad Anac,

I have a quick question for you. I had mentioned about HDSE (Higher Diploma in Software Engineering) diploma on my PNP application, however WES did not complete ECA on it as it is a private institution. My questions is now that I have been nominated by SINP - should I mention about HDSE on Express Entry CIC application?

Thank you for your help in advance.

In your eAPR you can skip it from Education History and keep it under Personal History.

Any thoughts?

I don't think you can do a landing without a valid status. Maybe you can try to speak to the embassy that issued the visa and request them to provide you an extension.

I wish to apply under NOC Code 2174 as most of job duties are similar to that. Actually my institute changed the nomenclature for the post few years ago, it used to be only COMPUTER PROGRAMMER.

I want to know that if I am eligible for Express Entry under NOC Code 2174?

Regards,

Assistant Professors have a different NOC. IMO, you should consider going for NOC 4011 instead of 2174 because you work in a completely different domain.

You can send your correct roles and responsibilities along with your designation to noc@workingincanada.gc.ca. They would get back to you with the most appropriate NOC.

But my job duties are that of Computer Programmer. I develop and Maintain software for my institute on daily basis.

Hi, I called CIC and was told that my Eligibility has been 'Passed' by NDVO. However Security and criminality has not started. Does that mean that all verification of employment, experience etc has been done or is verification a part of 'Security'. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,

You have helped many here. Please help me as well :


I am second guessing myself at every step now. Kindly advise.

I have a Canadian Master's degree and when filling the information, I will be filling the information as " Master's degree or professional degree.... "

I also have a Bachelor's degree from India (4 year program. When filling that information, should I fill it as " Bachelor's degree or a three or more year program..." or as " two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees.... "

I do not have an ECA for this Bachelor's degree and so will be putting "No" when asked for ECA.(is that appropriate). I think I will be invited to the CEC program.

I ask about the Bachelor's degree because of the information below on CIC under help section : "

"To get the correct number of points, make sure you choose the answer that best reflects your case. For example:
If you have TWO Bachelor degrees, or one bachelor AND a two year college diploma, choose" Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.
If you did not earn a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate, you may need to have your foreign education assessed by an agency approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. They must show that it is valid, and equal to a completed Canadian credential."

Not at all, 4 month is very very normal. You don't need to do anything. Even if you call or send CSE, you'll get the typical response that your application is within normal processing time.

Thanks -- what are the typical processing times after submission of application?

Thanks -- what are the typical processing times after submission of application?

Typically around 5 months. 80% of applications are finalized by the end of 6th month.

Re: Express Entry CIC application

In your eAPR you can skip it from Education History and keep it under Personal History.

What is eAPR? Electronic Application for Permanent Residence? Under Personal History where would I update HDSE course? Also, the application talks about processing and PR fees but does not specify amount for processing fees....roughly how much is it?

Thank you for your prompt response appreciate it!

Not sure how you got the information from them since they are usually quite reclusive in providing this. However, I think you are pretty close to getting your visa since you are a January applicant.

Also you can write to NDVO so that they can update you on the status.
