New Express Entry ranking system will be applied on Nov 19th (detail inside!)

[kallucanada]

Can someone please confirm do we need to be filled for the following questions under Occupation if we are applying for a CEC? I have this doubt because they mentioned the first question about federal program eligibility. for the second question, we may have to fill our details.

Primary occupation (4 digit NOC Code)

This means the job XXXXXX has experience in and wants to base the immigration application on. This is how we will determine your eligibility for federal programs. You will need to know the job title and the NOC for the primary occupation and for any other jobs you add, as well as for any job offer.

Go to the Find your NOC page to learn more.

Date XXXXXX first became qualified to practice in this occupation

If the "primary occupation" is:

a qualified trade (four-digit code begins with 632, 633, 72, 73, 82, 92), this is the date they became qualified to practice on their own in Canada. (For example, when they moved from apprentice to being a licensed tradesperson.)
any other job, this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)

You still have to do it.

Thanks, Kryt0n, much appreciated your help.

I need one more clarification about the NOCs for my foreign work experience.
Actually, I was doing the same Canada job duties in the foreign country during my work but we did not have any NOC concept over there. Shall I proceed with the same NOC of Canada while declaring a foreign work experience in my profile? There is no option to skip the NOC but still confirming with seniors like you.

In theory, every job has a matching noc code. Whether you worked at the North Pole or in Russia. You can have experience in 5, 7, 20... Different noc codes. For each work experiece you want to list just find the matching noc code. It doesn't have to be exact, but at least 60% of the duties should be very close.

Guys,
Any idea about the relative(or sibling) section.
Prior to the new changes CIC used to award additional points for relative in Canada, which they have removed now.
Is it done for good or can we expect few points in future for having relatives in Canada.

#There used to be adaptability section earlier.

Regards,
Aditya

I doubt if anyone can give you a sure answer to that, but for the new system changes, nothing was said about additional points for having any family member in Canada

Hi Guys,

One of my friends updated her profile last monday as per new changes, but her points are not yet updated

Is this happening for any of you ??

I hope that after she updated her application, it got transmitted because without transmission of updates, there'd be no change in the application

Actually you do get points for relatives in the FSW under the adaptability section - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp - basically where you need to score above 67 out of 100 to qualify as FSW in the first place.

But not on the CRS system. So basically relatives can help you become elegible but that's it...

Relatives can also help in some PNP programs such as OINP.

Hi All,

I need your opinion. My current CRS score is 453. I applied AINP for my wife. What is the chance to get ITA for 453 category. I am working with my employer to get the LMIA exempt work for additional 50 points. Still in discussion to get that paper ? If that comes in the score will hike to 503. What do you guys says .. Will it work or if i get AINP before ITA .. Shall i go with her AINP route ?

I have a friend who is doing the AINP route and apparently it takes around 2 years... It's impossible to predict what the cut off will be in the next draws but my feeling is that it will decrease with the new rules implemented on the 19th, so it's quite possible that it will lower to 450... But I think the best way for you is to try to get the extra 50 points with your employer as 503 is definitely a very decent CRS score and should get you an ITA.

 

[thestunner316]

503 would pretty much guarantee an ITA in the next draw...

even otherwise 453 is a very good score... probably mid next year you may receive ITA

Thanks all for your response !

My wife's ECA is in progress for her two degrees(3-years bachelor degree and 1-year bachelor degree) and I am anticipating it may complete soon. Shall I proceed to show my wife's ECA is done in my profile now?
