Express Entry in a nutshell

[TLOU]

After my IELTS exired, I retook the test twice and failed to maintain above 400 crs score. Should I even bother submitting what I have now for e-pr? Reason why I need above 400 is because I got Ontario nomination.

I'm sorry to hear that!!! But the short answer is no... you'll fail the A11.2 eligibility test, get you app canceled/rejected and it may even cost you the $550 fee.

You really need to focus on the IELTS and get that CLB9... Have you thought about CELPIP? I think with CELPIP you can retake just listening and speaking if you need (although double check on this as I'm not 100% sure).

Try to take the pressure off your head and try the test again! I believe nominations have 6 months validity. So you can give one more attempt and see.

Hi guys, any ideas on my questions below?

1) IMM5662E - Travel history. I did provide this in my application. Any reason why they would request this again?
2) LOE detailing what I did for one specific year. This year was included in my personal history entries and I was working and going to University. And also got married. Any reason why they would request this?

Also,
3) After receiving COPR how long does one have to land?

Hi Team,

Totally, I have 11.8 years of experience. In current employer, I have been for 10.3 years and travelled to Australia for 8 months for my project assignment.
In previous employment(1.5 years), though I have appointment letter & relieving letter, I don't have a specific letter explaining my roles and responsibilities.

Considering this situation,

1. Since I have more than 10 years experience in current employer, is it necessary to mention my previous employer details in the EE profile.
2. In addition, in the EE profile, do I need to mention separately my Australia experience instead of showing total experience in the current employer. The reason behind that this onsite experience doesn't count for CRS point calculation.

Please suggest on the above queries.

It is not necessary to mention in your EE profile because work history of last 10 years is considered for points, however, you might have to mention it in personal history while filing eAPR after ITA

Not sure what it means Rabin. You might want to ask this to eagle333 - S/he might be able to help you with this.

I hope you get your PPR very soon!

All the best!

I can't say what it means because I do not know.

I really can't retake another IELTS as I am out of the country this whole month and my ITA is expiring early March...

Eagle333 is a member on this forum. May be you can try to contact him by PMing him? You really wanted me to tell you this? : :

You can also post the content of your notes in the below thread -->

There is no need to worry. Your NOC is in category B and your score is pretty high. As long as the system has given you those points you are good to go. My guess is you will be invited next week.

Thanks Raj So much.

I have one more doubt.
I held two designations in my current employment. Should I created separate entries or only one entry.
for e.g.
1 jan 2015 joined as analyst
1 jan 2016 became senior analyst

should i make my entry as --> 1 jan 2015 till date as Senior analyst
OR
two separate entries--> 1 jan 2015 to 31 DEc 2015 as Analyst & 1 jan 2016 till date as Senior Analyst

kindly guide me.

Thanks

Hi Again.

Any help would be much appreciated. I am little confused about this, request the seniors to help me out.

Thanks in advance

From what I've understood about Express Entry, it doesnt make difference if you studied in Canada or any other parts of the world, if you worked in Canada or any other parts of the world... There are a number of factors, you collect a total of X points, and then you go into a pool and if you have more points than other applicants, you will get visa, right?

So, if I study Master of science (or whatever!) in Canada for 2 years, and then get a job for one or two years there, it doesnt make any difference in my chances of getting applied in Express Entry?
I need to know this because if it doesnt increase my chance of getting accepted in Express Entry significantly, so I dont spend all the money I hav just to be able to get my Master in Canada and work for a few years.

Would be glad if someone help me in this matter.

The bolded part is correct. However, education in Canada and work in Canada brings more points that you would need to have a competitive score.

You have to figure out if your foreign education/work is sufficient to get an ITA.
