You need to find the correct agency to evaluate your MBA as Master's. Even I faced the same issue with WES as they had evaluated my M.sc. as a Bachelor's.
There are different agencies like ICES, CES etc. who would evaluate your MBA as Master's.

Hello Friends,

I am completing 1 year experience in Canada by end of may and I have submitted my express entry profile, waiting for next Draw. I have few questions with the NOC code/My Designation and Work permit which I have.

1. Shall I choose the NOC code based on our experience outside Canada as well? For Example, I have chosen 2173(Software Engineer & Designer) and my designation/titles changed many times from Software Engineer to Senior Consultant,Manager with the same employer.
2. My Employer(from India) is operating under two entity names in Canada. Initially My work permit was filed with One entity as Manager as title and later they did amendment to the Work permit with the title as Consultant. But my duties are more towards software development. So I prefer to chose 2173. Is it ok to have the titles which are totally not related to 2173 in the work permits.
3. After the work permit amended with the 2nd entity name of the employer, it took some time for me to rollover to the new entity, so I've received new LOA only by April 2020 but the work permit was approved effective from August 1st 2019. From May 2019 to March 2020, I have received my payslips from my previous entity with the title as Manager. Will this cause any issues in my application.

Hi All,
I hope everyone is safe.

One of my cousin took a pre-approved LMIA letter. The consultant has created Express Entry Profile and got an invitation recently but still, the Consultant hasn't submitted an application ( uploaded document but the Consultant hasn't submitted an application) yet. Now as we know the CRS score is decreasing. Can he create the second profile (without LMIA) in Express Entry? because he doesn't want the process with LMIA until if he gets an invitation without LMIA letter.

Please suggest.

1 and 2. Designation doesn't match. If a few lines in duties match to any noc code, feel free to choose it. Don't fret a lot on designation changes, just mention the last one.
3. Just put in a letter of explanation. This will not cause issues except delays. To avoid delays put hyperlinks of your company's website showing that the two offices operate under the same company. The cic agents basically do google search to validate this info.

Please suggest.

you can have as many profiles as needed though CIC doesn't recommend. hopefully you don't get an ITA in both the apps. That could be troublesome, as it will come under previous/other applications. reject one of them if that happens. a letter of explanation may help then when you submit.
first get the ITA then call CIC and ask what to do..

The process remains the same either way. Having Canadian experience won't make the process "easy". Either way, you'll receive an ITA only if your CRS score >= the cut-off CRS score of the draw.

The small advantages you get if you have Canadian experience (in a suitable NOC) of at least 1 year are as follows :

1. You are awarded higher CRS points for Canadian work experience.
2. You do NOT have to show proof of funds if you are invited to apply under CEC.

Raj..
Thank a lot.. This very helpful.

I am having a job offer from Canada while I am outside Canada, my goal is to secure Canada PR. As I write, with the self assessment for MPNP, I have 60 scores already even without the scores for test of English Language, my test of English examination is being delayed because of the pandemic though I am making preparations.
What do you advice, take up the job or stay back and pursue the PR from my country?
Hope to hear from you at your most convenience time.

Hello House, Please i need your advice. I wrote IELTS this year and I got 7,7,7 in all modules but I had 5 in reading. I have a master degree and i have already evaluated it with WES and I am married with a kid. I am planning to go alone although i will fill it in the form that I am married but my spouse is unaccompanied. My wife only has an NCE which has no significant effect on the CRS points. Am i eligible to create a profile because someone told me I must have 6 in all modules but I have 5 in writing. Please what is my chance?

No, unfortunately, at this time you are NOT eligible for Express Entry. You need a minimum of 6 in all the 4 sections to be eligible.

 

[rajkamalmohanram]

Though i had sent all my bachelor and master degrees to WES canada but I reckon they have only evaluated bachelor degrees and not mentioned anything about MBA degree ?? Now the status shows order complete. What to do ??

I have done my MBA from a reputed university still WES didnt evaluate it . I wonder what could be the reason ? Any one can help me in this ?

Well, if you send the document for both degrees, unless they made a mistake, they would have evaluated both the degrees.

Your MBA might have been evaluated to being equivalent to a Bachelor's degree in Canada. If you aren't happy with this evaluation, you can definitely give other ECA issuing organizations a try.

Once you receive the evaluation, report what exactly you see on the report.

Taking up a job in Canada will not affect your PR application.

Unless this job offer is backed by a positive LMIA, it will not give you any additional points. However, personally, I would still accept the job offer and move to Canada (at the earliest possible date after restrictions are relaxed) unless you have some compelling reason not to accept this job in Canada.

Hi everyone,
I am currently in the process of submitting my profile but my noc code lies under two categories, under C and B NOC code as i was working at financial institution as a Member service representative which falls under FSR (noc b) also under CSR(NOC C)

so i was wondering how can i classify, should i consider my pay rate ?

if i go with NOC B would they decline my experience later on ?

Please advise further
THANKYOU

Go with NOC B, making sure you have job responsibilities matching as per lead statement for NOC B. FYI, C category code jobs are not eligibile for FSW or CEC.

Good evening from here!
I wish to know, if processing my MPNP while my employment procedure is in progress will be seen by CIC as a double application and maybe have a detrimental consequences or do you advice I do one at a time?

"Dual-intent" is perfectly legitimate. You just have to satisfy the officer that when you are applying for a work visa (which is a temporary resident visa), you will leave Canada at the end of authorized stay and you'll obey the rules applicable for that visa category. Your PNP / PR application should not have an impact on your TRV application.
