Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[jazzyboy75]

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.

this is excellent easy step by step way, however I have a specific query related to the BC Tech Pilot Express Entry. I registered an online profile https://www.pnpapplication.gov.bc.ca/ and to proceed have 2 choices based on what I could gather from Canadian CIC and BC Gov sites.

1. Express Entry BC – Skilled Worker or 2. Skills Immigration – Skilled Worker based on other information related to the BC EE Tech Pilot for BC I'm part of the 29 eligible jobs and also fall under NOC 0213 which is a category A

Under Skills Immigration – Skilled Worker I'm concerned over 2 points mentioned

- An offer of indeterminate, full-time employment in a NOC Skill Type 0 or NOC Skill Level A or B occupation from an eligible B.C. employer
- Valid English language proficiency test results for NOC B occupations

So confused since requiring an offer can that only be obtained if you are currently in Canada or there is a way to apply and here also ILETS not mandatory since my Job Code is NOC A

Under Express Entry BC – Skilled Worker I see the following mentioned
- Valid English language proficiency test results
- An offer of indeterminate, full-time employment in a NOC Skill Type 0 or NOC Skill Level A or B occupation from an eligible B.C. employer

and in this document

https://www.welcomebc.ca/getmedia/1...n-and-Express-Entry-BC-Program-Guide.pdf.aspx

I read the following information

"If the occupation offered to you is classified under NOC Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A, you are not required to submit valid language test results at the time of registration unless you are claiming points for language." so my question is do I need ILETS score?

I want to know which is best option to choose to continue BC Profile registration

I'm giving some details about me which may help advisers as want to opt for BC EE Tech Pilot :
Age: 44 yrs
Occupation Code : NOC A - 0213
Total Exp : 22 yrs, last 10 in NOC A 0213 job profile
Education - 3 yr Regular Degree and MBA distance Learning
Spouse - Regular Degree holder

Other important details : Have Canadian PR bur PR expired very long back. Was in Canada from Dec2003 to May 2006. I do not know if PR has been automatically revoked (if at all that happens) as want to explore if I can revive PR or what is best way

Hello,

Need some guidance and help. I submitted my application for PR on Feb 29.

Yesterday’s I got an email that my application has been rejected due to “missing document” which they further explained that my australian police certificate is incorrect and I should see guidelines in the link they provided. However the information they have provided in the link is exactly how I applied for the certificate. Exactly the same way!

What to do?? I had a provincial nomination.... do I appeal??

Hi all, can some one please help me with below query to fill application form after receiving ITA? I have been reading various post and many people had same question in past but I do not see any one posted answer for this.

Please tell us about XXX's immediate family members that have not been identified in the application. This includes any parent, any spouse or common-law partner, any child including adult children, and any brothers or sisters. If the relative is deceased, provide the date of death.

This question appears for my child. I can not mention my name and my wife as we have already Identified ourselves in the application. other option provided in the drop down are not applicable.

How should I answer this question?

There's another question at the bottom, just answer yes, if you've identified all immediate family members. This question appeared for me as well.

Hi friends,
Does anyone know if you get additional points if you have (2) master degrees ?
If I am not mistaken, you can get 135 point for (1) master degree (without a spouse). However, it does not mention anything if you have (2) master degrees.

Thank you in advance.

Can someone help me with my questions?

I applied EOI in Jan. 19 under International Skilled Worker: Saskatchewan Express Entry; however, I haven't get a invitation.
Now, I got a permanent full-time offer, so I want to cancel my current EOI, and re-apply with employment offer stream.

Is it okay to do that? Just worried if something affect to my application once I re-apply after cancel it.

Also, employment offer stream; does anyone knows the procedures, and if someone could tell me the timeline, that would be really awesome.
I want to know does this stream also need to get an invitation, or can I apply to get a nomination right away?

Thanks.

You get the same point (135 without spouse) for 1 or 2 Master degree.

Hi Members,

I have a few queries, it might be a long post but want to give a proper background. I created my express entry profile in June, 2019 and I have eight plus years of work experience. I included all the work experience details while creating my express entry profile with its relevant NOC. The detail are as below:

2011 - 2013 : Worked for two years and the NOC is 6552
2013 - 2015 : Two years of work experience and the NoC is 1112 ( Financial Analyst)
2015 - 2018 : Three and half years of work experience and the NOC is 1112 ( Financial Analyst)
2018 - Till date : One year and three months of work experience and the NOC Is 1122 ( Professional occupations in Management Consulting)

I gave my primary NOC as 1112 ( Financial Analyst) as I had more experience in that field

I received my invite in the March 4th Draw with the score of 471. and I started arranging my documents. The questions I had was:

1. Can I change my primary NOC 1112 to 1122 as this is latest job and also, some of the jobs and duties are not matching for the NOC that I currently selected
2. As I can claim points only three plus years, can I remove my work experience that I had from 2011 - 2013 and add it to personal history? As I am not claiming points for that and also, do not think i can get a reference letter on the company letter for it
3. If I change my primary NOC to 1122 which is current job, I should only give jobs roles and responsibilities letter only for that or should I have to give for the other experiences listed as well? Confused on this cause a colleague of mine mentioned that he only showed his current experience roles and responsibilities letter to IRCC and not the old ones.

Will really appreciate any help on this.

Cheers!

Hi i have a question, in computing crs score in the foreign experience, is it okay if it comes from two employers with same NOC or the required is only from one employer which is a continuous work? Thank you. Keep safe everyone. God bless.

For example, under my NOC as university lecturer, i have 2 years of experience from one university then another 1 year experience from other university? Will i put 2 years or 3 years? Thank you so much.

Hi
It same had happened with me. And sorry we can’t do appeal for that.They never ask for any missing documents; just reject the application as they first review the documents to meet eligibility criteria. So make sure we provide all the documents and they want some specific documents specially from Australia along with police checks.

Since you have already updated all of your work experience, you should upload reference letters for all.

To dig deeper, you have to upload reference letters for the number of years you have claimed under FSW to score 67. That's mandatory. Else, your profile will be rejected on the grounds of "FSW not met".

FSW is clearly mentioned under : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ntry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html

Once you clear FSW, then for CRS, one gets maximum points for 3 years of work experience. To clear this stage, you will have to share reference letter for 2015-2018 and 2018 - Till date. But if in FSW, you have claimed more than 3 years of work experience points, then you need to provide more reference letters.

Which also answers your question about primary NOC, if you are going before 2018, what's the harm in keeping NOC 1112 as your primary NOC???

You can certainly do that.
If you have an offer letter supported by an LMIA, the procedure is clearly stated on SINP website. The timelines are changing however SINP usually approves in 8-10 months.

Same points even if you had 3
