FAQs FOR EXPRESS ENTRY!

[sumitpal22]

Hi All,

How to link job bank account and express entry profile?

Thanks

Please refer to our FAQs on first page you will get your answer.

 

[sumitpal22]

Just so it's clear, ECA is not really a MUST, unless you're applying for FSW.

Those applying under Federal Skilled Trades Program don't really have to provide an ECA. If they can and it gives them more points then it's optional!

http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/department/media/notices/2014-12-01.asp#42

Good information.. +1 for you.

If you go to YouTube and search for World Education Services channel there is a webinar in the videos tab titled Express Entry with a prominent immigration lawyer with some interesting information.

Please share the link..

1. Yes you can do it..
2. try WES it is very fast.. it may take 1 month or so..
Regarding your family.. you can take them now but if you want it later it would be through another program

Thank you, sumit
1 - But because that when I go to the Trade Work says:
Skilled work experience
Skilled Trades currently eligible for the Federal Skilled Trades Program are organized under these major and minor groups of the NOC:

Major Group 72, industrial, electrical and construction trades,
Major Group 73, maintenance and equipment operation trades,
Major Group 82, supervisors and technical jobs in natural resources, agriculture and related production,
Major Group 92, processing, manufacturing and utilities supervisors and central control operators,
Minor Group 632, chefs and cooks, and
Minor Group 633, butchers and bakers.
That is, the code does not appear 2234 Estimator.

2 - Ok I will see then. has price idea?

Can you explain me better this my family? Intended to go to Canada, and then in order of three or four months to take my family, after all oriented. Thank you for your support.

Hi,

I checked the eligibility through gocanada tool. But it is showing I am ineligible. My details are as below

IELTS:R-9;W-6;L-8;S-7
ECA is done
5 years of IT industry experience
CAD:15947(8.5lakhs inr)
No job offer from Canada
No previous canadian experience
No relatives in canada

My Husband IELTS: R-6;W-5.5;L-6;S-6
Masters degree
ECA not done
8 years of experience

I saw that we can create profile directly from CIC account. I am prefering to open the account by CGkey rather than any signin partner. Is there anything need to be understand regarding this choice? . Alos I saw many saying their profiles are showing ineligible when they rae trying to submit. I am bit confussed. Please help me out.

Thanks

Rose

Try increasing your fund to say CAD 18500 and see if you are eligible.
I am assuming you are the primary applicant. Also, a score of 6 in IELTS is CLB7.
