Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[ralph87]

I have just received an ITA in the last express entry draw (19th October) but I am already in Canada since past two months (on a student visa). My query is: for proof of funds can I show a letter from a Canadian bank saying I have the money in my account? Or do I have to show it from my home country's account. I am asking because I have been in Canada since mid august and my Canadian bank account is just two months old.
Any help will be appreciated.

If the money has been in your account for less than 6 months, you need to prove where it came from.
So if you transfer it from your home country bank account to your Canadian bank account, that's fine, but you'll need to show proof that it was transferred from another account in your name.

Good day!

Anyone here who experienced using NOC 2171 for ITSM (IT Service Management) or ITIL based jobs?
I am having a hard time choosing the proper NOC code. My current position is Major Incident Manager wherein I manage major outages for network or IT infrastructure related incidents via conference calls or meetings with the stakeholders, service delivery managers, or any IT concerned provider. The main goal is to restore the service as quickly as possible thus preventing business impact.

Thanks in advance.

You should choose your NOC based on your roles and responsibilities. The designation is not as important as your roles, IMO. You can send your roles and responsibilities, your education level and your designation to noc@workingincanada.gc.ca and they will get back to you with an appropriate NOC.

Hello seniors, raj, astari, kryton, dilpiero and others. thanks a lot for your contribution to this forum.
My first post here though i have been following this for a while.
I am in a process of filling out my EE profile. Have got few questions while filling out education history if you could assist:

1.In Education history it asks for complete full academic years, my degree is 3 years long but I completed it in 5 years as I had gap years in between. Though its full time 3 years bachelor’s degree. What shall I write their?

2.Is it possible to declare education and work full time as I was working and studying simultaneously Fulltime. (was studying a professional course which is both F/T and P/T and was also working fulltime).

3.My degrees belongs to UK but I studied in my home country. So shall I choose homeland as country and city of study or UK?

Many Thanks.

3 years.

If it was outside of Canada, yes, you can declare both.

3.My degrees belongs to UK but I studied in my home country. So shall I choose homeland as country and city of study or UK?
I believe you need to choose your home country.

Many Thanks.

Hi Istari,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Yes i was outside canada and studied my course fulltime and aslo worked fulltime while studying. so i assume i can declare the education full time as well as the work experience obtained within the same tenure simultaneoulsy.
Further being the only applicant with no dependents do i need to type Funds exactly as $12164 or it can be greater than that which i have in my account? say $13000

Regards

Hi Seniors,
My High school diploma has been equated by WES as "One year of undergraduate study" though its written in remarks that the credential is not comparable to completed Canadian eduaction credential.
Do i need to mention this in my EE profile?
and shall i select ECA equivalent as one year programm at university or college?

Regards

"If your assessment report shows that your completed foreign credential is equal to a completed Canadian one, you can include this information in your Express Entry profile. You will get points under the CRS for your highest credential found equal to a completed Canadian one."

I would not include it in your EE profile.

Cheers

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. This is not my highest level of qualification though. Thats secondary and high school diploma. Highest level qualification is Bachelors and thats completed but as i have got wes for these tahts why i wanted to include them in my profile! Confused!

 

[DelPiero07]

Just include your bachelors, you're fine

 

[pr_s]

Hey,
Thanks a lot for reply.
1. So shall i put my both bachelors degrees and from drop down menu when it asks for level of education i should select Bachelors degree for each?
2. When it asks for ECA i should select two or more degrees for both of listed bachelors?

Many Thanks

 

[DelPiero07]

If you have two bachelors degrees and they've been assessed already the yes, select "two or more degrees"

Cheers

 

[pr_s]

If you have two bachelors degrees and they've been assessed already the yes, select "two or more degrees"

Cheers

Yeah both have been assessed by wes.
so,
1. bachelors degree for each in level of education
2. Two or more in ECA equivalency for both?

not sure if i can give you +1 or not but still +1 and thanks a lot ;D

 

[DelPiero07]

"To choose 'Two or more...' option, one needs to have 2 distinct degrees/diplomas/certificates and at least 1 of them must be for a program of at least 3 years duration"

If that's the case then,

1 - yes
2 - yes



P.S - to give +1 you just need to click "good" under my name 8)
