Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Naturgrl]

Hi guys,

I'm creating my EE profile and I need some clarification with my WES Evaluation Report.

WES evaluated my education as a "Postgraduate Diploma (2 years)" only.

I'm not sure which option I have to choose under the Level of Education;

The options are:

-Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees.
-Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
-One year program at University, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
-Two year program at University, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
-Master Degree or Professional degree

I have already read similar scenarios on other threads with slight differences.

Others usually get WES reports that state "Bachelor's Degree (four years)" and "Postgraduate Diploma (two years)" as their Canadian equivalency for instance.

For such people, I read that they have to add each level of education separately to earn points for "two or more certificates or degrees" in their EE profile.

My question here is my report states only "Postgraduate diploma (two years)",
should I still go ahead and add my bachelor's education separately since a postgraduate diploma usually means one has already completed a bachelor's degree? or should I choose "two-year programme at University".

Thank you.

You select two year program unless you have an ECA for your bachelor degree (at least 3 years).

Hi, I'd like some help regarding filling up my "Personal History" section post-ITA. I'd like to know what proofs are required and how is the background check made. I am making the following points and would be grateful if someone can help me out.

• March 2011-July 2016: Completed my Bachelor degree, in Medicine (ECA done, claiming points for it)
• July 2016-November 2016: I was unemployed at that time and was preparing for my Pre-Registration Entrance Exams (PREE) for internship in government hospitals (How do I mention it in this section?)
  • Received a provisional registration certificate in August 2016 (Do I need to mention it somewhere or attach it to my documents, with a LOE? If so, in which section?)
• December 2016-February 2017: I was unemployed, as I was awaiting internship in government hospital (How do I mention it in this section?)
• February 2017-August 2018: Completed my internship in government hospital (Matched NOC, claiming points for it)
• August 2018-December 2018: I was unemployed at that time as I was preparing for my Registration Exams (How do I mention it in this section?)
  • Received a registration certificate in December 2018 (Do I need to mention it somewhere or attach it to my documents, with a LOE?)
• December 2018-August 2019: I was unemployed and looking for a job (Can I mention "looking for a job" in this section?)
• August 2019-November 2019: I started working for a company doing domiciliary visits. I am claiming any points for this as I could not gather any reference letters, employment letter/contracts or pay slips/paystubs. Only a bank deposit was made into my account (Do I need a LOE for this?)
• November 2019-January 2020: I was unemployed and looking for a job, but I was also preparing for my PLAB exams (UK) at that time. Because of the pandemic, I cancelled my exams booking which was due in March 2020. (How do I mention it in this section, can I write "unemployed"?)
• January 2020-March 2021: I was doing some domiciliary visits and consultation in a private pharmacy occasionally, however I was only paid in cash during that time. I was looking for a job during that time (How to mention it in my Personal History? Can I write a LOE for it?)
• On September 2020, I started a Masters degree course and completed one academic year, however in November 2021, I took a study break during my second academic year and resumed in September 2022. However, because of some personal commitment, I decided to drop out of the course and got awarded a PG Cert in November 2022. (How can I formulate this in this section?)

Does anyone knows which NOC code data engineers belong to?

21223 Database analysts and data administrators
21211 Data scientists

I feel like 21223 is a closer match but when I go to data scientist page on NOC website, data engineer is listed in example titles.

Thanks!

not sure, my assumption is the tie breaker takes into account the time at which the profile was updated which eventually considered as submitted :/
since you updated on 13th January, the tie breaker was November 24, 2022 21:14:59 UTC so probably you were out of that frame.
@Naturgrl @scylla help

Hello people.

I have a short question: Do I need to provide all my work history when creating EE profile if I cannot prove it and don't wanna claim points for that? Or it is okay to skip them and add only work from which I can get points?

I have such things with both Canadian and foreign work histories.

Hello everyone. I have a question for the ones who received their ITAs recently and submitted all the required documents. Which option is the correct one for the translation part?
Scans of the following:

#1. original document;
#2. copy of the original with translator's both sign and stamp (to prove that she/he saw this document and translated from it)
#3. certified translation of the above copy;

Now, I'm not sure about #2. It seems to me that a copy of the original is usually certified by a notary public, where she/he says that it's a 'true copy' and no changes were made. Some people on this forum said that they just did a copy and translator signed and stamped it, not a notary public. What works? Is it better to do a notarized copy which is also certified by a translator at the same time, just to be on the safe side? Please let me know your thoughts.

CSR 465?

It might take sometime but it will happen. Chill and wait.

May be learn french to get those juicy juicy french girlfriends CSR points. Its hard work but it pays. Besides you get to listen to wonderful songs like this :

and apparently Quebec has best girls to boot. So spend some effort on french. Ask @mushymush how. He did it recently, mastered french and got an invite.

PNP? Well look for Ontario's PNP program but it gets sporty there for invites. Then there is https://www.alberta.ca/aaip-alberta-express-entry-stream-eligibility.aspx but, it is baised towards those with job offers in alberta. Given the job market, its not the best option.

Other option is to transfer to Canada via your existing employer. I did this. Smoothest path but you need the right employer.


lastly out of curiosity, you worked in hospitality as a part time job in Australia while doing your masters?

 

[GandiBaat]

Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory or federal body?

For you thats likely a no IMHO. Its for folks in Trades like Electrician Plumber HVAC etc.

 

[Mayyah16]

Hello everyone. I just submitted my PR application and got AOR on the same day. However, I just realised I messed up my 'Personal History' section. Because I have been claiming points for Education in 2016 and work in 2017-2018, I continued adding the rest of my activities as from 2018 to today. I noticed it had to be put in order of most recent activities.

Will my application be rejected based on this?

 

[university of Gondar]

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.

How can I get Job offer

 

[Naturgrl]

How can I get Job offer

Apply for jobs on Canadian job sites. Get LMIA from employer to prove no Canada or PR can do the job, only you.

 

[Braykhna Khan]

Hello guys,

How many points does LMIA give us? My employer is ready to give me an LMIA but just wondering how many exactly will it provide me? my TEER is 2 and I am Early Childhood Educator Assistant. My CSR score right now is 440.

 

[WPTO]

Does IRCC consider only 30/week for Full-time work to determine eligibility under EE? Also, will my co-op work experience be qualified for SFW under EE?
