Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[madhouseontheshore]

hi everyone. a relative filed for his Quebec immigration back in 2013 but never heard from them. now he wants to apply through the EE and has a sufficient score.
in order to apply under express entry, does he have to withdraw his previous application or can apply for the FSWO EE in parallel without touching his other application? Will he have to mention his previous application while creating express entry profile? many thanks.

In order to apply via EE he must have the intention to reside outside the province of Quebec, he must choose and withdraw his Quebec application if he wishes to continue with EE.

At what stage is the file transferred to LVO? Do you get an email saying file is transferred? I have received a request for an updated police certificate and background check is in process. So what would be my stage?

Did you submit the police certificate before? Are they (IRCC) asking for same PCC?

Yes I had submitted the Australia Police certificate and driving history report with my application. Both were dated July 2017.
They have now asked for an updated one for both...The letter says for us to make a decision submit the updated certificates for both

Got my PPR yesterday. Thanks everyone who guided and helped me along the process. Special note of gratitude to @TanakaM @DelPiero07 and others that I have missed mentioning here.

Few tips for those who are thinking or applying or who are in the process.
1) Read page 1 of this thread. Most of the information you need is there.
2) Don't go by what someone said somewhere. Get all your information from CIC website including the CRS points calculator.
3) Plan, set a timeline. Things won't happen overnight. Plan 6-7 months once you have made up your mind.

Good luck!

Congratulations hey. You must be over the moon.

It normally happens in NA2 after your initial eligibility check has been done and recommendations have been given.

You won't get a notification.

I am a bit confused as to what stage I am at ? BGC was NA, passed medicals and then changed to we will send u a message when we start your background check, then again NA, now it says we are processing your background check..

That looks like IP2. So your application should definitely be at the LVO.

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.

Dear,
I have a question regarding my educational background and my job experience. I am planning to apply under under express entry stream post my IELTS exam, if I happen to get the required band score. So I have decided to hire the services of an agent and that agent has said that my work experience is not relevant to my educational background, which is very disheartening for me. My profile is mentioned below:
I did my graduation (Bachelor in computer applications) and post graduation (Masters in computer applications 2008 pass-out) both regular courses and got them assessed from WES. My masters is equivalent to Canada's master degree. I have been working in a bank for the past 9 years and my job duties entail internal bank branch's operations like cash handling, ATM servicing, handling customer queries, opening saving accounts, handling loan applications and sanctioning loans. These set of job duties match the job duties outlined for NOC 6235 Financial sales representatives. My aforementioned facts beg the question that does work experience and educational back ground necessarily need to match and have relevance to each other?? I am in a dilemma.

Kindly help and guide.

Hello. I am from india.
My question is regarding proof of funds. At what stage do we need to put funds in bank account??

 

[zqd9853572002]

Hi Guys, I got a problem in filling the EE profile. I worked for an employer in Quebec for one year, but I was dispatched by this company to another country to work on a project for months. My company declared my tax and paid me with check during this period as usual. Should I show this months business trip on my EE profile, you know, this will affect my score significantly. Thank you.

You need to fire your agent. Your education and job doesnt have to match. Go ahead and create your profile.
