Hi everyone, I recently received an ITA for FSW. I did a virtual diploma online from a UK college which is accredited by WES. Now in documents required, it says Police certificate for UK is required. I am sure its not required as i was not physically there.

Has anyone been through this ? Should i just upload a Letter of Explanation to that upload request page ?

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.

this is amazing ,, how about Quebec ??

Hi everyone,
I came to Canada as a student. I submitted my pr application under FSWP 6 months ago. I got refusal for proof of funds. And the same is mentioned in the correspondence letter. Just only proof of funds. Does that means all other things including work experience, medical, police clearance, education credentials are considered by them??? Please reply. Thank you

Guys need your advise on when to obtain Police Certificate. I am currently on Work Permit in Canada and awaiting WES ECA for myself and my spouse. Once it is completed I would have a CRS score of 474 and hence would like to try out FSW before i finish up my 1 year by March and qualify for CEC.

I had been living in USA from 2014 Jan-2020 and moved here in Mar 2020. My spouse was living with me from Dec 2016 till Mar 2020 in USA and then from Mar 2020 in Canada. I am aware that I have to apply for PCC in USA through FBI. Is PCC required for India too ?
Yes, PCC is required from india too.. you have to apply for it through BLS..

Hey guys, a small question, I have worked in two companies for 3 terms.

  • Company A – 12-9-2013 to 30-10-2015 (2 years, 1 month)
  • Company B – 02-11-2015 to 17-09-2018 (3 years, 7 months)
  • Company A– 19-09-2015 to 21-08-2020 (11 months)
My question is that I have worked for the same company A on two different work terms. Can I claim 3 years of work ex in the EE profile ?

Hello people,

Need your help/advice/suggestion.

is there a thread in this forum that someone can point me to, that will provide a step-by-step instructions of how to apply for Express Entry process(in order).
If here is no thread of that can, could someone who has in-depth understanding of the process, kindly create one and put it as sticky?

I am bit confused as to what would be the first step in applying for the EE and its corresponding steps.
Though website provide instructions to certain extent, i am not entirely convinced as i understand there is lot more required than what is mentioned on the website.

These instruction will be helpful not just to me but many aspirants who are seeking a lucid understanding of the process.

Thank you all for your time. :)
