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.
Hi Thanks for the detailed info.

I just wants to know one more thing,on what basis they are sending ITA.Its un predictable! Why is that?

The previous ECA will be valid
From beginning from express entry profile ,PNP application and in PR application not mentioned about PHD degree because doubt for it authentication and even not claimed a CRS point, same reason sent to WES for double check and they declared non-authentic PHD . CRS point were claimed for Master degree ECA. Its consider as a : "MISREPRESENTATION " or not ? Would I need to inform IRCC for this issue? Although I got a PNP nomination as on same status.

Hi Everyone,
I have a question for you all.

I am filling my IMM0008 forms
Under personal details questions# 10
I came here as a student on 2016 and I got my work permit 2018.
Therefore, should I fill the box where it says From & To.

If Yes, Should I put the date I arrived in 2016 and the date my work permit is expiring?

Hey guys, I have a question. So, I have been working at a NOC B job for about 3 months now, and I have got an interview from a different employer for a NOC 0 level job. If I quit my current job, do I still have to work for a year under the new employer for Express entry?

Are you working in Canada or outside of Canada?

Thanks for the reply. What to do you think is better? A new NOC 0 job or current NOC B job for immigration purposes?
For CEC it doesn't matter.

If you want to apply under PNP, then NOCs can matter and you'll need to research the PNP programs for the province where you are working.

I am trying to sign IMM5669E form by typing my name in the declaration of applicant, at the bottom part, but it does not type anything. I can add the date but I can not type my name in the signature section.

I also printed the form to sign it, but the problem is that some texts in some sections are longer so when printing it gets hidden.
How do you usually fill out the IMM5669E form?
