Express Entry 2015

right now best approach is to apply in federal skilled worker program for 2014, and if one can't make it there then wait patiently as very little relevant information is out for express entry at this time. with the limited information that is available now one can hardly tell much, but it seems express entry might be particularly good for either experienced candidates or candidates of in demand NOCs, or may be a great fit for those who meet both criteria. may everyone's dream come true!

Thanks for nice post i am fully agreed on you.
 
Hi Friends,

Even I am waiting for the Express Entry as my profile is not currently in NOC list. I am wondering if there would be any such list under express entry system. As far as I have read, there is no minimum requirements like IELTS, experience, age etc. has mentioned anywhere. I hope the WES results would be applicable for EE also. Does anyone have any idea if spouse'IELTS score would be considered when calculating the points?

Regards,
Sumi
 
Hello everyone,

So, that means once the express entry system is started, the current point system will no longer be used to help people migrate yo Canada?

Current program will be applicable until Dec-2015 only. From Jan 2015, Canada express entry will be active.
 
wow the detailed process is out already..!
 
Does anybody think there will be an age limit like Australia has? my husband is 50 years old thats why I am asking.
Thanks
 
Irrespective of the form and shape that the Express Entry may take there are a few things future applicants can do now (based on existing programs) to hit the ground running:

1. Get IELTS done for Self and Spouse.
2. Get reference letters for their intended NOC or atleast do the groundwork by informing supervisors / keeping text ready.
3. Maintain a healthy bank balance in line with current FSW reuirements.
4. Get ECA done for Self and if possible for Spouse too.
5. Make sure the Birth Certificates and Marriage certificates, where applicable, are correct and appropriate.
6. Identify relatives in Canada and let them know what kind of dcouments may be expected from them.

If CIC are going to pick and choose the candidates from a pool it would be advantageous to have as many points as possible rather than just clearing the cut-off.

All the best.

fully agreed with this..:)
 
I don't think the point system will be any different than the current system. The major difference between the two systems will be the Expression of Interest (EOI) thing. Currently if an applicant has enough points and all the supporting documentation, it is almost an automatic approval (provided the cap has not been reached). With the new system, this "luxury" is gone. You might have more than enough points and all the right documentation but unless you get the Invitation to Apply, your application will remain in pool for no one knows how long. This gives a huge advantage to cic. Currently they are kind of bound to process all the eligible applications and either have to grant or have to prove something wrong with the application. In future, they don't.

What if I have old hand written birth certificate ?
 
Any info or update as to what happens with those who are in Canada, working and having canadian experience?

It seems that all we know so far is mainly focused on prospective immigrants, who want to come to Canada,
nothing on the ones that are here, as temporary workers, wanting to apply through CEC, let's say...
