Ray of Hope - 79th Draw

[ritej gaba]

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if work experience in Quebec can gain you points in the Express Entry system right?

The answer is Yes. All work experience gains you points. This will actually be Canadian experience thus after a year you will qualify under CEC.

Thanks tanakaM
As i was not sure

Bro this is a RAY OF HOPE

In Jan 2015 Draw CRS Score was 886
In Dec 2015 Draw Score was 460
In Dec 22 206 Draw CRS Score was 475 (Inv 2,878)
In May 31 2017 Draw Score touched 413 (Invitations 3,877)

In first 2 years, I never ever thought of applying as I always believed i will never achieve it.

Now I can see not a ray "RATHER A SUNLIGHT" of hope for all aspirants here

True, it might take some time
But eventually the score will drop below 410
Where almost 5200 people are waiting and i am one of those sitting at 406.
I was getting hopeless. But ur reply has thrown the sunlight of hope.
ready to receive an ITA , hopefully in 2018

Hi friend. Let me tell you how it was. The hardest part after the PR was finding a good apartment. It was time consuming but worth it. I recommend you do that as soon you get your PR, don't wait to come here and look for it or you might end up somewhere you don't want to be in just because you are in a hurry to find something. We looked for about a month. Then the problem was how to pay the first month's rent because they would receive only money orders or cash so we actually found someone online who was from Ottawa and just asked him if he would do this for us. I deposited the money on his account and the guy we never saw in our lives went to the administrative office in our building and payed the rent for us. Then I went to a couple of prearrival seminars, they are called SOPA (JobSearchStrategies) and CIIP. Very useful. They help you with targeting your CV for specific jobs. As I was learning how to write my resume, I applied for a couple of jobs while I was back home. I got ONE call for an interview for a PhD Student position at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. As soon as we landed, I came to an interview and Boom! Got the job in less than 10 days after we landed! Another thing I must say I don't have so much lab experience, but it didn't matter because my grades were high. So I will be doing my PhD here, work in the lab and hopefully get a few scholarships. My husband got invited to an interview too after about 10 applications. I hope that gives you a sense of life in Canada. And Ottawa isn't even such a big city so Toronto and other mega cities should be even better. All the best!

Great, thanks for the advice and for sharing your experience. @andieangel told us you were doing well. I also wanna do a PhD one day so maybe you could be my link.

Where did you attend the pre-arrival seminars?

Wow It's great to hear some positive stories. Thank you so much. Can you please tell me how is Vancouver for immigrants? Are there any good job opportunities available there?

If in case you are waiting for ITA, why don't you improve on your IELTS or start working somewhere? Additional work ex might help you in increasing your score?

Hi Tiffphany23, I have been working from India having a sales role but the markets I cater to is Canada and US. For the same region I have an experience of 4+ years now, hence wanted to know your thoughts that will this experience be helpful in getting me a job in Canada in the sales role?
Look forward for your help.

As I don't know your job titles and duties in the last 4 years, I can't really say anything. But if you want to look for a sales manager job immediately when landing here, it will be difficult. Even tho your exp targets US & Canada markets, it still doesn't mean that you have Canadian work exp. I would suggest that you start with lower title for minimum wage first like Sales Associate. Also, if you have a much higher education degree, don't include it in your resume for Sales Associate as it will instanly be rejected for over qualification. Once you are in the company, you can start showing your skills and qualifications to your manager to be considered a promotion. I think your 4 years in sales would definitely benefit you here.
Good luck!
