Hello there. I am from Morocco and i just got my ITA and i have 2 question:
1) Reference letter: they ask to be printed on an official document. I dont know what an official document means!! It means it should be signed by any government agency or it just must be on company letterhead?
2) About bank account: my bank account is new i just open it 3 months ago but they are asking for 6 months balance. Is that a problem?
Thank you

You need to research Express Entry and be invited based on your age, education (need degree assessed), skilled work experience, language tests, and funds. You get points for all of these areas. Need CLB7 for language.

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.
Thanks

Hello All,

Request your help here. I am new to FSW EE program and would be applying to immigrate to Canada from India for the first time.

My job profile fits into the 2 categories - 20012 – Computer and information systems managers and 21222 – Information systems specialists. Does it matter which one I choose?

Below is my profile:

Citizen: India
Education from India: BTech (4 years Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering), will get evaluation done through WES.
Work Experience from India: 5 years or more exp in Software organization
IELTS English : (yet to take)
Single/Never Married
No Canada work experience or education
No relative in Canada
No job offer from Canada
Place of Interest: Ontario

Self-calculated CRS score: 435

Pls suggest if I should apply in FSW EE program. Do I stand any chance of PR, OR is there any other program I should to consider? Is there anything additional I can do to improve my score/changes for FSW EE?

Also, as I understand as per process, IELTS ->Education Credential -> Create EE Profile -> Wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). Let me know if my understanding is correct.

Thank you for help.

FSWP seems correct and 435 seems good without Canada work exp and job offer. For increasing the score you can try to max out your language score and also, can try for French language test.
Regarding NOC, it's crucial to choose the correct NOC. Choose the NOC which correctly matches your roles and responsibilities of the job.
