Relax....you were not meant to send your resume in the first place and I'm sure its not gonna work against you.
CIC will access your documents based on the documents they specifically requested from you....your resume wasn't even optionally requested so Calm down!
Cheers!

Thanks Kollins this surely helps, I love this forum. Also I posted my application yesterday. Hopefully will I make it to 1000 under 1112??

Hi,

Do we need to send Employment Reference letters when we submit the application ? Or we can produce it later.

Thanks
Arun

Reference letter detailing your Job descriptions is a must while submitting your application package while employment reference is optional but advisable.
Cheers!

Thank you. Sorry, at work. Hard to use phone.
My situation is that i had a certified true copy of birth certificate. And it was translated to english by NAATI (australia) translator. My question is do i need notarize the english one?

I certified the copy using a JDP and had the document translated by a NAATI accredited translator.

It is my understanding that you only need to notarize / certify the copy of the original. I hope someone with more experience can confirm / deny this.

@kencreech

You must have "screeched" many mind 8)

I appreciate your point, which could be true as well.

But in my opinion, had this been the case, the scoring system would have been CLB 9 = 24, CLB 8= 20, CLB 7 = 16;

However, carefully read through following instruction at CIC link provided by you. My analysis of the point is in [Analysis]

You must meet the minimum level of CLB 7 for your first official language in all four language areas. [clearly means that CLB is area wise, not a cumulative threshold]

Additionally, the last column clearly says "Points Per Ability". If it was using your calculation method it shud have been CLB 9 = 24, CLB 8= 20, CLB 7 = 16;

Furthermore, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp gives manual calculator at the end.

For first language it says SPEAKIG+LISTENING+READING+WRITING

For second language 0 or 4 (4 if less than CLB 5 or more in each ability, 0 otherwise)

[Even here, if scoring for first language was based on your method it would have been 16 or 20 or 24 (as described for second language i.e. 0 or 4)]

Nutshell, Relax

seniors,

I saw some of you calculate your IELTS points in the way which is different from mine. Please refer the link below. My understanding is that you will receive CLB 8 unless each of your Listening, Reading, Writing AND Speaking are equal or over 7.5, 6.5, 6.5, 6.5. If one of the four falls under the point 6.5, then you will not receive CLB 8.
It relates to the self point then for FSW immigration, so then your language points is 5, 5, 5, 5 (25 in total). So there is no such way like Listening CLB 8, Reading CLB 9, .....

Am I correct?

Check this for reference from: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/eg7toc.asp#results

Factor 3: Work experience (maximum of 15 points)

You will receive points for the number of years of full-time paid work (or the equivalent in part-time paid work) you have obtained within the last ten years. Full-time means at least 30 hours of paid work in one week.

You must have at least one year of continuous full-time, paid work experience (or the equivalent in continuous part-time work) in the primary occupation you specify in your application.

In order to receive points for all of the jobs you have had over the past ten years, your work experience must be in one or more occupations listed in Skill Type 0, Skill Level A or B of NOC 2011. Follow the Determining your NOC category instructions above to find the NOC 2011 category that matches your skilled work experience over the past ten years.
You must provide proof of your work experience with your application. Refer to the Document Checklist (PDF, 240 KB) for more information.

One can list all occupations had in the past 10 years but will be assessed based on the primary occupation. This is why I said only that will count. Please I'm referring you to same instruction guide below. Note area in bold!

Question 12
Your work experience

a) Identify the primary occupation and corresponding four-digit NOC 2011 code that will be used to assess whether your application meets the minimum program requirements. Choose one occupation from the list you provide in your answer to 12b).

b) Starting with your current occupation, list all of the occupations that you have had in the 10 years preceding the date of your application. For each occupation:
•identify the dates of employment,
•write a description of your occupation,
•include the appropriate NOC 2011 code,
•check the box that corresponds to the number of years of continuous full-time or equivalent in continuous part-time experience, and
•write a description of your main duties.

[siouxe]

My application was received last May 14 for NOC 2174. Am I gonna make it for 1000 cap? A little bit worried here...

 

[byn2013]

I certified the copy using a JDP and had the document translated by a NAATI accredited translator.

It is my understanding that you only need to notarize / certify the copy of the original. I hope someone with more experience can confirm / deny this.

Thank you. Anyone could clarify this?
Urgent.

 

[kollins]

Can i send my spouse ielts at later stage ? iam qualifying without his ielts. do i get point if i send after a month of filling my app ?

If you qualify without your spouse's IELTS score of five points,you dont need to include his/her IELTS result before you send the application or at a latter stage.
As much as your application is ready to be sent with all necessary documents....send it without considering the cap.
Cheers!

Re: Stapling Documents

Apparently not...

I stapled the application forms. Will this effect my application?
