Hi all, looking for some help... or maybe just reconfirm what I have found.

I am from the UK, and my profession is (writer).. aka advertising writer. I've doing this for the last 4 years. However, (as strange as it seems) I don't have a degree. I do have one year college certificate, for what its worth.

After completing the CRS tool here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

(To my surprise) or maybe not really. My score is 368. Here it is below:

You see, I did do the same process under my wife, and slightly higher by 3 points (she is slightly younger and has a degree) But only 1 year experience in the fields they require. I feel because of my lack of a higher education is dragging my points.

Is this enough? From my understanding, its advised to aim for 400 (+)

Any thoughts team?

Thanks in-advance
 
does any one knows how to process follows for one that has not paid his Right For Permanent Residency Fees at the time of AOR, and get a request to make such payment?
 
Hi,

Can anyone please give me a sample roles and responsibilities work experience letter for a testing functionality
 
Hi All,

I have done B.E (4 years) and MBA from XIMB (2 years) from India. However, to maximize my CRS score, I would need a master's equivalency. WES doesn't recognize my 2 years masters degree.

1. Does CES recognize MBA from Indian universities?
2. Also, do I need to get my bachelor's degree evaluated, if I go for CES?

Thanks
 
Hi everyone, please guide and help.

I've submitted my PR application documents and fees along with biometrics and currently awaiting visa approval and PPR.
I'd like to get married soon and wanted your suggestion that should I wait till I get my PR and first landing or can I get married before that considering that if I had applied for PR as a married applicant I would not have met minimum CRS cutoff score.
Please share process as well and pros and cons in either case.
 
Hi everyone. As the principal applicant,out side bank statement showing my unencumbered amount do I need any other document or statement from bank? Anyone?
Thanks in anticipation!
 
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.
Kudoss pls, am so relaxed no with your info. But pls outsisw dis 550 nd 490 any other fee will pply?

Hi

I wanted to do my WES assessment. And my degree is from university of Mysore.

Since I'm a Sri Lankan so I get connected with Genuine Attestation to so my WES work done.

Since they ask 40 000 INR just wanted to find out are they really GENUINE to do this job

Or is there is any reliable company to do this job

Thank you
I didn't get your inquiry regarding Canadian education. Cant, you just send your credentials for the WES assessment? I suppose you need to notarize them after translation and sent them for approval?

are you applying WES for EE?
 
Hi,
My husband and I got married abroad in august and came back to our home country but I still live in my hometown for the moment, while he lives in his. Will CIC question the fact that our address history is not common after the wedding ceremony date? If so, should we write an LoE explaining the reason why we dont live together? Please help, I am worried to mess things up due to such small details.

Thanks in advance!
