Thanks Tanaka.

Actually I answered NO to this question before ITA.

Now after ITA, same question is there for primary as well as dependent section.
I have answered YES in both primary and dependent sections Immigration history(with same UCI (old) in both sections and same File# mentioned)
And in statutory questions as well.


a) Should I decline ITA and again come back to pool to rectify the answer in next draw?
b) Should I answer YES everywhere in primary and dependent's immigration history and statutory questions and send them in LOE about the mistake done before ITA?

Which option should I go with?
a)
or
b)

Appreciate your response.
Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Do not decline the ITA, you are allowed to change information pos-ITA as long as you explain it.
Answer all questions truthfully and explain in your LOE. (option B)

Don't worry, all will be well.

Hi,

If you were studying outside Canada, it doesn't matter. Foreign work experience gained while studying is acceptable. So your job title does not matter.

All the best

Thank you TanakaM,
1.I studied and worked outside Canada, but one thing makes me worry is that my job title was engineer while I was in the second year of my university study, is that OK? or the officer may questions that how I had engineering job title while I was studying!
*By the way, I can move my work experience to personal history because I don't need to claim any CRS point on this work experience and mention my job title as civil engineer while I was in the second year of university.
2.On the other hand, is it considered as misrepresentation if I ask the employee to change my job title to technician in reference letter?

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

NOC Code......

Hi,
I got the OINP Notification of Interest and currently CRS is 439. I have 2 Masters degree and have evaluated one with WES.
While filling the OINP form, i have to list all my post-secondary education. DO i need to evaluate my BSc and the other MSc or i just list them without evaluation?

Hey guys, I have worked at 3 places, I have received relieving letter from my last and previous employer but I am unable to get relieving letter from my first employer. Is there any alternate for the same. I have rest of the supporting documents like salary slip, appointment letter and Form 16.

Hi Tanaka and everyone,

I created an EE profile last Jan(2018) with CRS score of 401 and is due to expire now.

However I retook the IELTS(LSRW-8.5,7,8,7) this month and the CRS score improved to 459. Meanwhile I got married last July.

I am yet to resubmit EE profile.

With spouse accompanying, the CRS score is 433 and without spouse it is 459.

Considering the current trends, is it a good idea to apply alone and then consider bringing my spouse? If so, how long will it take and will there be any other requirements then?

If any other suggestions or advice, please do not hesitate.

Thanks in advance.

My ielts score improved. How do I update it in EOI. Do I have to change old data or add another language result.

Hello!
Could you kindly advise me on the following:
I`m a primary applicant, does my husband need to pass IELTS? He will not be able to get WES evaluation. As I understand, anyway the application fee ($550), and RPRF ($490) should be paid for both applicants, primary and dependent?

Thank you.
