A few doubts before I register for myCIC - Indian MUMBAI

[racherlas]

Hi,

I am an Indian living in Mumbai for the past 29 years and after hearing about Express Entry I am keeping my eyes glued to the Express Entry Questions forum for the past few weeks to clear my doubts and ensure my application process is done swiftly as I am very keen to work in Canada

I have renewed for my passport this week as it was expiring in October 2016 but I didn't wanted to take any chances. It should get delivered by tomorrow.

I have done my Masters Degree (Executive MBA) from Universal Business School - Karjat (AICTE approved) is it applicable? ( I am a little concerned about my MBA Certificate as the course I did was a Diploma and not degree)

I have also pursued my Masters in Commerce from Mumbai University? (Does double degree help in banking more points?)

I have nearly 7 years of Work Experience and my current role is a blend of multiple NOC codes (NOC CODE - 1241,1431, 0124,1226), should I include only a one/couple of NOC Codes or club all together? (More the years of work ex, more the points?) (More NOC Codes more points?)

I will be eligible for Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)?

When do I create a MyCIC account? After creating a CIC Account a code is created which has to filled and submitted in how much time?
Once all my documents are in place only then should I create a CIC account?
Has the point system changed? Earlier to qualify one required 67 points to qualify now it is in 1000s? How many points would I require to qualify for a PR? (I am Single)

ECA is to be done for what all certificates. Graduation + MCOM+MBA?

I have started preparing for IELTS Online, is it recommended to opt for a coaching class or one can battle by self? How much time one takes to prepare for IELTS considering he has to devote 9 hours at work and then study? (Can you provide me link for the right IELTS Material?)

A response to the above questions will certainly give me a big big push to keep moving forward to my goal.

Thank you very much in advance!

Looking forward for a response.

About NOC codes experince: you should use all of then if you can get letters of employment stating duties matching NOC codes duties.

So, check issued letters details matches NOC code duties

I don't know the details right now but as much experince better score.

Apply for ECA soon, because need some time, check how to send documentation.
