Hi All,

I have few questions on Work ex letters.

1) I am working in my current org since last 5 years , so only this letter would be sufficient as criteria shows "5 yrs or more " gets 70 or 80 marks in CRS criteria or should i try to get letters from earlier org also for 2 yrs of work ex
2) in few month , my role in current org would change, then even NOC might also change , then shall i take exp letter and keep it beforehand or we can include different NOC exp in same letter later on
3) If i take work ex letter now from working org, is there any validity to it.

Sorry for multiple questions, but i am stuck, please help me.

Thank you

Dear all,

With an IELTS test scheduled for this coming Saturday, I'm excited to start building my Express Entry profile soon. Could you please clarify a few things based on your experience:

1. Do I need list my current job to claim points? I've been just 2 months full-time in my current position, full-time/part-time internship since June 2018. All paid (in the US). It will be two months less than 4 years if I only claim my verifiable work experience in the home country (Russia).

2. NOC-related question. My primary NOC is 0124 - Advertising, Marketing, Public Relations Managers. My current job title is Marketing Manager. However, at previous position back home I was hired as a Copywriter. It's a different NOC, 5121, Authors and Writers, and the description for this NOC has very little to do with my actual responsibilities that were closer to the 0124 NOC. Is it safe to provide Marketing Manager title in the experience letter - given the employer/supervisor is totally OK with it?

3. My current employer has an office in Toronto. I've been working with them since June 2018 in the US, but mostly part-time along with my degree coursework. In this case, can they provide a LMIA-exempt offer to boost my points, or will they have to go through the LMIA process for it? To my understanding, LMIA is similar to the US PERM (job ads, etc?)

4. My travel history will indicate I traveled a lot around Europe during my claimed work experience years. The thing is I "worked from home" from the second year in the Russian firm, and it included working from and airbnb in the mountains of Slovenia/Bavaria/Italy about 4-5 times a year. Will it raise any suspicion with the reviewing officer? Should I submit an explanation letter saying that I've been a home worker?

Thanks

1. No, you don't.

2. Not a good idea to change documents ex post facto. It really doesn't matter what your title is, the duties are what count. If you claim you were 0124 with the title "Copywriter", the officer will look at your duties to see if they match the NOC description. If they do, it will be accepted that you did 0124 work. Changing documents can be seen as misrepresentation, especially if they happen to call your company (or check your LinkedIn), and they find a completely different title that way.

3. LMIA-exempt job offers only count in very limited circumstances. You can read about that here - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/offer-employment/lmia-exempt.html

If you don't fall under one of those exemptions, then you will need an LMIA.

One last thing, since my agent is the one who made my express entry profile. How can i check in my profile if they have chosen or indicated that i am interested to live in “All province and territories”?
You can either take the login details from your agent and check it or you can ask our consultant to send a screenshot of the same.

I am trying to enter my personal activities and i get an error everytime:
Error Description: Problematic field: Personal activities: You must provide at least 10 continuous years of history, or all time since this person's 18th birthday, to the present.

Has anyone ever encountered this before? Can you please explain how the error was fixed?

Hello friends,

I am applying for CEC, when browsing CIC website I found this information
I am working for a company for 1.5 years but my visa will expire on April/2020.
Does it mean I do not have a valid job offer ?

A valid job offer has to be:
  • for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
Any comments will be highly appreciate.

Thank you
Does anyone has any ideal ?

I got ITA on 12 August at crs 467. However at the time of submission of AOR in preview score it shows 468. I am.getting 1 extra point for spouse education. Previously it was 9 points and now it is showing 10 points. Its really surprising as I am filling the same details before ITA and post ITA. Is this normal?

Hello. I already have the log in details of my Ee profile, where can i specifically see if they have indicated in my profile upon creation that i am interested to reside in all province and territories?

I think the username, password, security Q&A you will not be able to see what you are asking for. Else your consultant can send a screenshot of the particular page

First post at the forum! Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.

Do I need to make a job board account to be considered for the EE draw ?
I submitted my EE profile on August 4th but just today finished completing the Job Board profile. Which of my two dates will be considered for cut off when draw is taken ?

Thanks :)
