    Editing Profile - issues add spouse ECA

    Thanks. I kept trying and what wound up working was removing both of the two previous education entries. Then reentering them. I had entered Bachelor and Master back on Jan 1st without ECA so no points. So I removed both degrees. Then just entered the new Masters with ECA. Noticed they...

    Editing Profile - issues add spouse ECA

    Anyone had issues editing their profile? I received my wife's ECA so I'm trying to edit her education section. There are some new drop down and fields that are blank, for example it asks for State of the Univeristy (not there on Jan 1st). But no matter what drop down I select it states it is...

    IELTSrequirements for Candidates with UK university degree

    Not sure what scores your interested in, we all have all types of scores ;) As a native English speaker I scored 9/9/8.5 writing/9 on the IELTS. It was quite easy as a native, but the listening was the most troublesome as one has to stay focused and not get lost in the narration. Taking a few...

    IELTSrequirements for Candidates with UK university degree

    IELTS scores last for 2 years. You will need these unexpired results to apply under Express Entry. I am a natural born US Citizen with 18 years of schooling through Master's all in the USA. Still had to take the IELTS. -- SharpC

    WES Evaluation issue envelope

    I read a post on here where the applicant took the transcripts and mailed them to himself in a courier envelope. Then took that sealed enveloped that went through the mail, and sent it in a separate envelope to WES. Of course he was living in the city where the university was located. It...

    The Harsh Reality About Express Entry - Let's Debate Here

    Overall Express Entry seems to be a better system for Canada. It selects those candidates with the highest CRS score, which theoretically will impact their economy best. This is better than taking first in line. After a year, when things settle out, candidates will have a pretty good idea...

    TEF exam for EE CRS points

    18 points would definitely be worth the hassle and cost. Based on some practice examples I tried, I'm quite confident I can pick up 3 points in the reading by getting CLB 7 minimum (there is so much in common between english and french in texts). Speaking I have no idea, but possibly CLB 7...

    TEF exam for EE CRS points

    Thanks for the information. So the wiki page is wrong, as I expected. It states that grammar is mandatory for Canadian immigration. My comments are not to use TEF as 1st language, but as extra points as your 2nd language. There are max of 22 additional "bonus" points available, in addition...

    TEF exam for EE CRS points

    I haven't yet seen anyone post about the TEF exam. This was definitely not necessary for the previous FSW program for most applicants; however, all of us can now get extra points via our French language skills, if we have any skills that is... I looked at my local San Francisco office and it...

    Express Entry Profile Submitted Applicants with score of 400+

    My score is 417 and I entered it on the EE google doc. I hope to increase to 427 before the Jan draw with my wife's ECA, not sure if they will be swamped. They turned mine around in a few days despite their (WES) 20 business day claim back in November. Schools were closed for the break, but...

    French Speaking US family want to immigrate to Quebec

    Thanks for the great info. Great forum here. I'm switching my lead NOC to 2232 instead of 2132. They are very similar job duties yet there are only 20 applicants so far under 2232, vs over 500 in 2132. So I'm showing 2232 work experience from 2004 to 2009, then 2132 from 2010 to present...

    Yes, aware of the caps. At about 300 for my code so far. Looks like plenty of spots left, but yes targeting to get my application in before the end of this year. Essentially as fast as I possibly can. I wish I knew of this program earlier this year. The longest portion of the process will...

    French Speaking US family want to immigrate to Quebec

    Thanks for the response. We didn't quite qualify for the Quebec program, very close, but do easily qualify for the FSW and have started the application process. Attorney states that we will likely get our approving docs before the end of 2015. The funniest part of this process is that I have...
