Hello Asivad;

I submitted my profile on Thursday night and I got an invite for Ontario PNP on Friday. My score is 449. I was wondering whether should i apply for the ontario pnp or wait for few more draws to be done. Also if i applied for pnp then would i get an invite from cic if the cutoff falls below 449 while my pnp application is under review. Also i was referring through the application guide for Ontario pnp but there is nothing clearly mentioned about the documents that i need to submit for my spouse who is in states now. Can you please help with all these questions???

Thanks

Would strongly suggest to retake IELTs... you can also look at PNP options depending on your exact occupation, though I think most PNPs have closed for the year... therefore, realistically, the only option would be IELTS, preferably above 7.5 or 8 in all the subjects (you can google and check equivalency for CLB 9.. unfortunately I do not have that on me at the moment) Once you get CLB 9, you should get the required score..
Goodluck

No - you won't get an invitation with 370 points. You need to increase your score.

Dear Asivad and other experts,

I've a question regarding the Bank Certificates and Statements. The guideline on the application says the statement must include bank account open date, bank loan, credit card, etc.

However, the certificate that I got from the bank doesn't have the info on account open date, loan (which I don't have) or credit card. My fund is quite sufficient maintained in a saving account and I also have all previous bank statements since I opened my account (for last 3/4 years). Also, though the bank certificate is on company letterhead, but the statements are not (they stamped and signed). Will these be an issue?

I just updated the IELTS scores on my EE profile, expecting the CRS to go up - but it did not happen. Does anyone know how much time does it take for the system to update the CRS? Thanks.
The CRS score updated after 26 hours. I got an email titled "Your application (...) has been updated" from CIC.

Dear Seniors and Asivad

I am currently in the Express Entry pool with a CRS of 464, I am applying under NOC 1111 and have a BSc in Accounting as well being a Member of ACCA (ACCA has an MRA with CPA). I need your advise is it necessary to have CPA license to get selected under FSW for this NOC or I can still be selected without the CPA considering my above mentioned credentials. Need your urgent advice on this as I heard that NOC 1111 is a regulated profession.

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.

NOC is based on your work experience. even if you're a licensed cpa but you're practicing something else at work (for instance if you're doing project management instead) then you cant use 1111. you can compare the description for your noc and see if it matches your job description as indicated in your coe.
