Thanks for your fast response

Could you please help me with this?

I calculated my years of experience and am not to sure if i could claim 3 years experience as retail supervisor, my experience timeline as follow

November, 2012 - Feb, 2015: Partime 20 hours per week = 1.5 years
(20 x 120 weeks = 2400 hours
2400 hours/ 1560 hours = 1.5 years)

Feb, 2015 - November, 2016: Full time 35 hours per week = 1.6 years

Does it sound fine?

My NOC is level at B, sound be okay with express entry program?

Thank you
No, it is not fine. 1.5 years and 1.6 years adds up to 2.11 years leaving you 1 month short. Maybe if you provide the exact dated it will give something different.

All the best

Few more questions regarding EE
1. In EE profile it shows that we are eligible under FSW and CEC. How do we know/ is there an indicator of which stream we would apply in once we recieve ITA?
2. In CRS breakup, the dependent(me) dont have points for canadian work experience. but while creating the profile it asks for my overall experience. For CEC I believe we do not need to show the dependent experience if it isnt canadian. Am i right? Or do we get to select which stream we apply in ?
Its kinda vague

Hi Everyone,

I got a bit trouble in Letter of Employment:

I worked as Supervisor, Pharmacy for 2 years Full Time. However, the head office are not willing to included my list of duties on the letter as it is a template that generated from their system. On top of that, my manager could not provide the written letter to list out my duties and my payslip is stated I am Pharmacy Assistant neither (as pharmacies in Australia do not specify a Pharmacy Assistant/ Pharmacy Supervisor/ or Departmental Manager according to the Pharmaceutical Award).

I am planning to write a 'Statutory Declaration' which lists out my duties, reason of absent of these information on LOE, and my store manager contact details for verbal references. I am also going to attach my income statements.

Do you think it would be good enough for proving my work experience?

Thank guys!

Jason
You are better off getting a former colleague to write the letter for you and getting it notarized. The job title does not really matter, its the duties performed that are the most critical factor. However, the overall picture you present is not too convincing without a superior being able to provide a reference letter for you.

All the best

Its kinda vague
1) If you qualify for both the I believe you will be considered under CEC. You will know for sure once you receive the invitation letter (ITA).
2) Edit your profile now and say that you have no experience at all. You can mention all your experience in the Personal history section of you PR application (post-ITA). This works the same for both CEC and FSW.

All the best

This should be immediate as it does not affect your points. You are good to go.

Yeah..it got "submitted". Would there be an issue of misrepresentation if i claim no work exp and then in personal history i claim that i was working? My wife just dropped this on me..Is it possible ?

This is perfectly fine, no misrepresentation at all. Put everything you are not claiming points for in personal history.

Hello Guys, SENIOR MEMBERS PLEASE HELP !

Hope you are doing great. I am a Masters graduate from Canada but currently residing in Pakistan. I want to initiate my EE procedure. Right now I have three years Canadian Work Visa with me so I can travel anytime to Canada.

1) What would be better for EE in terms of efficiency of procedure, background checks and chances to immigrate, if I apply from Pakistan or if I move to Canada and apply from there?

"I don't want to apply through Manitoba PNP as it is very long and slow process so I will submit my profile without PNP and Canadian experience i.e. 475 score"

Secondly, there is uncertainty in the Canadian job market if you don't have PR. So I was thinking to get PR from Pakistan and then move to Canada and find a job.

2) If I stay in Pakistan then may be it would be difficult for me to gather Police certificate from Canada.


I am really confused as I have to book my flight (if i am planning to go to Canada) or start any job (if i am planning to stay in Pakistan) and to start this process ASAP !!!!

YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED !!

Hey People,
Can some help on travel history about Schengen Territory?
I have been to Portugal 4 times from India. Since, there is no direct flight between India-Portugal, I always boarded connecting flights to Portugal from Germany (Frankfurt, Munich), Switzerland (Zurich) and Belgium (Brussels) and vice versa for returning. I have arrival/departure stamps on my passport from these countries and not from Portugal (since they were the entry/exit points in Schengen area).
My concern is shall I include these entry/exit countries in my travel history, even if I was there at the airports only for 3-4 hours?

Regards,
Shyam Chopra
Anyone??? Please

The instructions differ depending on your university or country of study. You need to follow the specific instructions WES gives.

Yes you can. The requirements are that you must have at least one year of paid, full-time or part-time equivalent experience in your primary NOC. Then you can add any other experience as long as it is in NOC 0,A or B.
