Hello, i have following questions :

1: when i will sumbit my documents , my pcc and wes will be expiring next month say i will submit my documents in april end so in may my wes and pcc will expire. So just want to confirm is it fine or cic will create issue on this ?

The PCC of your current country must not older than 6 months on the day you submit your application.

• For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than 6 months before the submission of the e-APR.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/applications-received-on-after-january-1-2016-completeness-check.html#s04

If your PCC is less than 6 months old on the day you submit your PR application and it expires after you submit your application, that should NOT be a problem AFAIK.

As long as your ECA report is valid on the day you submit your application, you should not have problems if it expires later.

Hi,

Please help to find out the answers that if I was a full-time student, but, worked 20-hours per week and was paid for it. Will it count as my work experience? Also I worked as Compliance and validation analyst in a Biotechnology field which falls under quality and compliance department, what NOC will be applicable to it? I have put 2221 NOC, where some of my duties match but I couldn't find the good match for my job. Is this NOC correct?

Hi guys
When file transfer to NDVO do they again check all job verification and all.
My file transfer to NDVO on Feb 15.
Aor Dec 8
Med done 11 jan
Rprf request 28 jan paid 29 jan.
got mail that my file transfer to NDVO because on 11 I mail them for office address change. They said any change plz inform NDVO because your file is there now

It depends. While we don't know the nuances of their operating procedures, there is a minute but non-zero chance of this happening. If your A11.2 is complete, then you should be good to go AFAIK.

When my file reached NDVO, the officer here checked if my provincial nomination is valid and then approved my application.

If you were a full-time student in Canada , any work experience you might have had during that time doesn't count for your permanent residence application. Otherwise, you should be okay.

About the NOC, your best bet is to do some research on the NOC website, try different key words and you will find an NOC that contains majority of the responsibilities for your area of work .

Hi Rajkamal

I have Masters (MCA) degree from OSMANIA UNIV and i am looking for ECA will my CONSOLIDATED MARKSHEET willbe enough for WES

You need transcripts. Transcripts = Your degree AND Mark sheets attested by the registrar or a competent authority at the University and either sent to WES directly or provided to you in a sealed envelope . Now, since I didn't graduate from Osmania University, I wouldn't have a clue how your University issues it or what process needs to be followed. I would recommend checking with your University directly or check with your peers/seniors who might have gone through the process.

You can contact WES to ask specific questions like this.

do i need to also send BSC CONSOLIDATED MARKSHEET

If you had checked the 'documents required' section on WES website, you would have found the answer to this question.

• For applicants submitting an Indian Master’s Degree or Postgraduate Diploma for evaluation, you must also provide your bachelor’s degree documents. WES cannot complete an evaluation without these documents.
• The only exceptions where your bachelor’s degree documents are not required are: Master of Education, Master of Engineering, Master of Philosophy, and Master of Technology.

https://www.wes.org/required-documents/

So, MCA would is not on the exception list. So yes, you would have to submit your bachelor's documents as well.

Hi rajkamalmohanram

Thanks for your reply

1. Degree Certificate (Final or Provisional)

I Have PROVISIONAL and Also CONVOCATION


2. Mark Sheets/Statement of Marks

It lists all subjects/papers taken and marks earned for each year of study and must include your university student identification number

My CONSOLIDATED TRANSCRIPT will have all SEMESTER marks and passed year in it would it be sufficient

Hi! One of my previous jobs include working as an accountant.

Classification NOC 1111 A includes this paragraph:

Employment requirements

• Chartered professional accountants, chartered accountants (CPA, CA) require a university degree and completion of a professional training program approved by a provincial Institute of Chartered Accountants and, depending on the province, either two years or 30 months of on-the-job training and membership in a provincial Institute of Chartered Accountants upon successful completion of the Uniform Evaluation (UFE).
• Chartered professional accountants, certified general accountants (CPA, CGA) and chartered professional accountants, certified management accountants (CPA, CMA) require a university degree and completion of an approved training program and several years of on-the-job training and certification with a regulatory body is required in all provinces and territories.
• Auditors require education, training and recognition as indicated for chartered professional accountants, chartered accountants (CPA, CA), chartered professional accountants, certified general accountants (CPA, CGA) or chartered professional accountants, certified management accountants (CPA, CMA) and some experience as an accountant.
• Auditors may require recognition by the Institute of Internal Auditors.
• To act as a trustee in bankruptcy proceedings, auditors and accountants must hold a licence as a trustee in bankruptcy.
• Licensing by the provincial or territorial governing body is usually required for accountants and auditors practising public accounting.

Does this mean we need the Canadian CPA designation to be able to use NOC 1111? Or as long as our job description fits the NOC description and we have a license in our country of origin, we're good to go?

On another note, all skill types (0,A,B) have equal chances in getting an ITA?

I am currently working as an assistant manager and still working on which NOC to pick. If ever, it'll be either retail/wholesale trade manager, which is skill type 0; or retail/wholesale buyer with skill type B.

Need confirmation on this please. Thank you!

Hi guys,


I'm having difficulty entering my Canadian work experience in my Express Entry profile. Really appreciate if you can help me out


1) When I was student in Canada, I worked full time as a Research Assistant from Jan 2014-Feb 2014.

Based on this link(https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/canadian-experience-class.html), this work experience is not acceptable for Canadian Work Experience Class, correct?

Does that mean I should not mention it when I'm putting in my info? Or in the last question, when it asks if I was studying full time during this job, I say YES to this question and the system won't take this work experience into account?


2) During my education, I worked as a Fundraiser from the end of Oct 2014 to the beginning of Nov 2014 (3 days only!). As we only put the month and the year, would the system consider this work experience as a month of work? Or I should not put it in cause it was only for 3 days?


3) The next one was after my graduation. I worked from Aug 2015 to May 2016 as a Fundraiser. But it wasn't full time, neither part time. It was on shift basis. Total hours for each month is as follow;


Aug 2015 for 11 hours/ Sept for 8.5 hours/ Nov for 45.5 hours/ May 2016 for 8.5 hours


How should I put this info in? I have a huge confusion here!


4) I started my last job on June 26th 2017. Should I pick June as the starting date or July?

My Post Graduate Work Permit expired on July 2nd 2018 but before expiration date, my employer applied for LMIA for me and with the LMIA file #, I applied for Work Permit Extension. In fact, I was in Implied Status from July 2nd 2018 until Oct 30th 2018 (when I got the rejection letter as the LMIA wasn't issued) and I stopped working since then.

So when would be the end date for this job? July 2nd or Oct 30th? Also, which date should be mentioned in the Employment Verification Letter as the end date?


Thanks for all your help in advance

Hello Yampower.. I have a quick question regarding the funds when applying for express entry ..

Is it acceptable if I take funds

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

Yeah but I would strongly recommend that you submit a notarized gift deed. You can search the forum for more information about gift deed.
