Any Question on Express Entry---i will try to answer

[AnnaBG]

Hey guys,

My question might be extremely dumb for most of you as most of the people in this forum are too deep into the immigration info.
However, I am struggling with that for the last few days.

I am intending to live in Ontario and as far as I can see there is a provincial nomination program. But I cannot find the accepted occupations for this PN. And also, I don't quite understand how this works - it says you have to be in the pool and then apply for PN? or get selected for a PN?
Stuck in here ...

Your wife's work experience doesn't even count unless that experience is being gained/was gained in Canada. You can just remove that experience from the employment section and retain it only in the personal history section.

Good luck!

There is no "Demand Occupation" list for Ontario.

The following are the steps :

1) Be in the EE pool (with a CRS > 400).
2) Ontario sends you a Interest Letter (PT) inviting you to apply for nomination. (You cannot apply unless you get this interest letter).
3) You send in a complete application package to Ontario within 45 days of receiving a PT.
4) Ontario will process your application (if it is complete) and give you a nomination.
5) If your application is incomplete, your application will be returned and you will have 30 days to send in a fresh application (with missing docs).

There is a non-refundable fee of 1500 CAD for OINP EE Stream.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Due to bad exchange rate i fear that my proof of funds may be insufficient if they do the conversion now. Anyone sent an updated bank statement via a CSE after submitting their PR application. Was it accepted?

IMO, your just need to have sufficient funds when you submit your e-APR and when you land at a POE. I don't think it happens in the middle because there is nothing you can do about the exchange rates.

Dear All,

I am MBA in Marketing and B.Sc (Hons) in Physics.

I have got my WES Report as -

CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY
Two bachelor's degrees (four years)

1. Bachelor of Science
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

2. MBA
Canadian Equivalency:Bachelor's degree (four years)


Now my Question is, in which way I claim my points in EE Profile for each degree? Say for example,

1. Bachelor of Science
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute OR
Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees, one must be at least 3 years


2. MBA
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute OR
Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees, one must be at least 3 years

PLEASE SUGGEST!

You can choose only one option and that is "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees, one must be at least 3 years".

If alter my EE profile after i have got an invite from OPNP would that have a adverse effect or raise some kind of suspicion among the file processing authorities ?

IMO, No. Unless it is a major change that brings down your CRS (to below 400), I don't think it'll have any effect.

The advantage here is the applications are processed very quickly (compared to NSPNP and SINP that take around 8 - 10 months). Ontario takes only 3 months to process.

If there anything you can do so that you get nominated?

You can send them a complete application package with all the required documents that they are asking for - (neatly arranged) with an index(so that they find it easy to navigate through your application package). That is all that you can do. The rest lies in the hands of the assessing officer.

I have observed that the rate of rejection is relatively very less compared to other provinces. Almost every applicant AND/OR his/her employer gets a call and certain details provided on the application form and/or details on the supporting documents are verified.
And needless to say, Ontario has a plethora of IT companies and financial institutions and it is a boon for people who are from these backgrounds.

I don't understand what you are saying. Have you received a message in your myCIC account that says "Provincial/Territorial Interest Letter" OR have you received an actual nomination from Ontario?

If you have got the former, then you have a LONG way to go. You must submit a complete application package within 45 days. The processing time is 3 months. Please understand that getting a PT letter from Ontario DOES NOT mean you have got a nomination. This is an invite to apply for nomination. You must satisfy Ontario that you are eligible. They will process your application based on the documents you have sent and decide if you should be given a nomination or not.

If you have got the latter, then after you have accepted the nomination, give it 24 hours. 600 points will be added to CRS.

Either way, your EE profile will stay active (I don't know what you mean by "Eligible for the next draw" here).

I have received an interest letter from ontario as of now, not a nomination ... some one told me that if i accept that interest letter from a province, then my profile in the EE pool would not be valid for the next draw, as i already committed to a province

does it explain it better ...... and is this true
