Hello Everyone,

Thank you for this great thread, very helpful
I just have a doubt or more like a question about the assessment of experience / reference letters from previous employers, i know about educational documents being assessed by WES etc, but what about these reference letters?
To whom one should go to verify these ?
Do they need to be assessed by some authority?
How do they assess these letters if this is not done by Principal applicant like educational documents assessment?

You do not have your reference letters verified. If your reference letter is not on company letterhead, you can get them notarised, but that's not a form of assessment.

The authority they are assessed by is the Visa Office. You submit your reference letters along with your PR application, and the Visa Officer compares the information in your letter to the information CIC has about your NOC, and decides if the 2 match.

If you can get 8 in all IELTS modules, your score will be 444

So they don't verify these by calling or email the employers? Isn't this a drawback?
Anyway i am currently working as Network administrator and in past i was at a similar but lower position at another company, how does my current position count in point system? I have 2+ years experience to date but less than 3years but cic process could go long for more than 6 months or more overall, so in that time my experience could be 3 years.. how does that count in CRS,

in their crs calculator they said experience should be from on occupation i work in Network field but different designation in past

"Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian Province or Territory? "

What does this line mean? Does that mean our educational documents assessment certificate ir some thing else?
How get one of this certificate?

Answers to all questions will be appreciated a lot.
Thanks :)

Of course they contact your employers.
I meant that you, the applicant, do not have to have them assessed by a third party, which is what I thought your question was asking.

Your profile locks when you receive ITA, so it's based on the amount of work experience you have at that point.

in their crs calculator they said experience should be from on occupation i work in Network field but different designation in past
You must have 1 year of continuous work experience in a single NOC. After that, the rest of your experience can be from multiple NOCS. But if you don't meet the continuous 1 year minimum, none of your other work experience counts.
Your NOC is based on your duties and responsibilities, not your job title. So if your designation changed, but your roles and responsibilities stayed the same, it's all the same NOC.


"Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian Province or Territory? "

This is only for skilled trades (carpenters, electricians, etc.). You do not have one of these, so don't worry about it.

Answers to all questions will be appreciated a lot.
Thanks :)

No. Once you submit your EE profile, you'll get a code to register for JB.

Nobody can tell you how long it is going to take. If you want to see a snapshot of the progress of your application, I suggest you ordering GCMS notes. It takes 30 - 40 days for the notes to be delivered by e-mail.

The PDF that you get under messages in your Express Entry profile has the procedure for Job Bank registration. You would need both Express Entry profile number and Job Seeker Validation Code to create and activate your Job Bank account.
