Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Dear Forum Members,

I would appreciate your thoughts about my situation

I currently have an ITA and was going to apply under FSW Outland. However I am about to receive a post doctoral offer (which falls under LMIA exempt category) for one year in Canada. I was thinking I could get there and apply for PR and was hoping to avoid the use of proof of funds by using postdoc offer to apply for PR. However, since I cannot apply for PR and work permit at the same time as I may have to travel soon; I will have to apply for work permit first and apply for PR in Canada.

My question is from the cic website it seems that LMIA exempt work permit holders can only consider the jobs as valid if

you have a valid work permit for a NOC 0, A or B job that is exempt from needing an LMIA, and you:

• are currently working for an employer specified on the work permit
• have one year of full-time work experience (or an equal amount of part-time work) for that employer and
• have a valid job offer from that employer for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa.

Does this mean I cannot use my Post doctoral position to apply for PR?

Alternatively can I still apply when I apply as Federal Skill worker Inland using the proof of funds I would have used to apply for PR while out of Canada?

Or is it better to work for a year for a year and then apply under CEC category?

Thank you so much for your valuable inputs…

Hey Guys,

The latest draw that came out today is 413, and my score is 458 (applied on 26th May 2017) - however I have not received any email or notification in my account. What could have possibly gone wrong?

Guys please reply, some one...

For education. Do you need to upload WES document and degree certificate or just WES document? If degree is not in English do you need to get it translated?

Hi,

I'm new here. Not sure as well if this has been asked. I've just activated my Express Entry profile and registered to the Job Bank... I do not yet have a job offer...

Just a bit confused on the process..Should I get a valid job offer, I understand that I'd get additional 50 points... I think I'll need to update my EE acount to include that job offer, right?

With that job offer do I expect to get an ITA and not need a work permit? Or will I have to fly into Canada to get employed and my employer will apply for a work permit for me while waiting for my EE to get an ITA?

Thanks!

Could you please suggest your CRS?

Hi all,

I received ITA in the current CIC draw as my score was 413.

I have a query - My IELTS score will be expiring in December 7, 2017, so i have the score valid for the next 6 months. Once I accept the ITA will my IELTS score freeze while CIC processes my application for PR (as processing might take more than 6 months and my IELTS score will than be invalid)

or

do i need to appear for IELTS test again so as to maintain my CIC score.

Please advise.

There is no need to take IELTS again, your CRS is fixed based on information provided in your profile. You will be evaluated w.r.t your score on 31 May 2017. So change in CRS due to age, or IELTS expiry after ITA will not affect your score now...

Had it been the case that your IELTS expired a day before ITA then you may have to decline and re-write the IELTS...

IELTS needs to be valid till AOR date, only then your profile freezes

with age they are a little more lenient

are you working in canada ? if no, then you dont need a job offer.

currently with CRS scores being so low, you can easily get direct ITA without job offer 50 points.

Your IELTS score needs to be valid at the time of submission of your application for PR and getting an AOR. So if you submit it before Dec 2017, you are good.
