Will be creating EE Profile next week - I have a few questions

[nmuntz]

Hi,

I will receive my IELTS exam results on Friday and with those results I'll have the required documentation to create my EE profile.
I have a few questions I'd like to know the answers to before creating my profile:

1) Since I don't have a preference as of to which region of Canada to live in, are there regions with a higher number of ITA's? For example, does Ontario have more ITA's than other regions?
I would basically like to know which region would give me the higher chances.

2) I work in IT. There are two possible NOCs that fit my profile:

2147 (Computer Engineers)
2171 (Information systems analysts and consultants)

Should I be using one over the other for better chances of being picked?


3) Now that the Canada International Experience Program is open (work and holiday), if I create an EE Profile am I allowed to also apply to this other visa? Will working in Canada for one year contribute to me getting Canadian Work Experience for EE purposes?

Thanks a lot in advance.

1 - no
2 - pick whichever one best matches your duties. There are no preferred NOCs.
3 - yes. getting work experience in Canada will give more points.

Your province preference only matters if you want to go the pnp route. If you want to be able to get a letter of interest from ontario for example, you need to have ontario lsited as one of your preferences.

If that is not the case, you can choose whatever you want.
