Important points to note from newly releasted CIC manual for Express Entry Methodology:-
Important Point No.1
Express Entry candidates will be able to register with Job Bank beginning January 1st, 2015
The matching functionality for employers with Express Entry candidates will be introduced in 2015 (exact date TBC).
My Remarks/Interpretation:-
It gives an indication that as per previous ministerial instructions current FSWP 2014 will continue till 30th of April, 2014, which can be good news for the candidates who did not submit their applications up till now. Because exact date for matching functionality for employers has still To Be Confirmed (TBC) yet. Without this date Express Entry system will only allow potential candidates to make their online profiles on CIC -EE website, so a partial functionality of Express Entry system will be enabled, which will not start to fully function without enabling of second part which is the interface for employers, PNP and other stakeholders.
Important Point No.2
All candidates in the Express Entry pool will be assigned a score according to their skills, education and experience. CIC will draw those candidates ranked highest at a given time from the pool (frequency and volumes to be determined).
My Remarks/Interpretation:-
So in addition to the point system another layer of score system is being added to further scrutinize the candidates from the already eligible candidates possessing 67 points. For example, you have done Canadian Masters in Management, you have gotten 23 points for your education but if let us say that you have done another Canadian Masters in Computer science then this additional qualification will give you higher score. Your points will remain same, but you will have another star on your shoulder which wil be higher score. So the selection of candidates from the pool will be based upon cumulative effect of "points + score".
Important Point No.3
Express Entry candidates will benefit from processing times of six months or less*.
*In 80% of cases from receipt of complete application for permanent residence to final decision.
My Remarks/Interpretation:-
Most of the cases will be decided with a degree of certainty within a period of six months. But the details of magical stick ;D that CIC will use, in order to achieve this target, has to be disclosed at date which is TBC----!!!! 8) 8) 8) 8)
