Tamsina,

let us know if and when you get the answer from them. I'll do the same with that form.

I called 1 888 242 2100 and the lady told me to submit this form.

It will not hurt to try. We have the same self-employment problem.

ok, I've just noticed... we got 50 points with that foreign experience, so I'm assuming, even in the CEC program they'll ask to confirm that. to still have the points.
So we will not ask to get it changed. Don't want to lose those points. will do my best to get the evidence that the job was done.

good luck to everyone!!!!

 

[Tamsina]

Got you.

But removing 50 points for me (for Foreign work experience) leaves me at 850 points which is still above the Feb draw limit.

Tempted just to take it off my profile and see what happens...just don't want to mess with the system. Anyone tried this?

You cannot change the CRS points once you have been invited. In fact, you will need to prove that you get all the points you claimed to get in the CRS, or risk being disqualified and potentially banned for misrepresentation. If anyone does not have document evidence for any work experience (experience letters from employers in particular) then it's best to NOT include it in the express entry pool to begin with since points can only be awarded for experiences that can be supported by experience letters.

May be another option is to decline the invitation, then change the entry for work experience so that a new invitation is received with the lower points.

Here is official word back on the order of precedence if you qualify for more than one programme....

'The Express Entry system has an established order of precedence for candidates who are eligible in more than one economic immigration program. The established order is 1) Federal Skilled Trades, 2) Federal Skilled Worker and 3) Canadian Experience Class.

Although you have been invited to apply to the Federal Skilled Worker Program, you are under no obligation to accept the invitation. If you do not wish to proceed with an application for permanent residence under the selected program, you may decline the invitation and return to the pool.

That is not gud news....FSW has funds requirement while CEC doesnt. In this case, they should also make you eligible for FSW only if you have minimum funds required for FSW

Thanks Tamsina for sharing.

..which means if you are once invited under one program, you have to abide by all rules and regulations of that program.

Thanks Tamsina for sharing this ...

Now I am thinking ...if it was wise if we could have not declared our previous exp in EE profile ..just declared our Canadian Exp would have made us in CEC category only ..

I did the same thing. I have been invited to apply under FSW in the second draw with 1029 points. Though I have my Foreign work experience letters, they are not on par with CIC standards. One of my previous company is no longer around and it is impossible to get another letter from that company. I declined my Invitation and with drawn my profile from EE. Created another new profile with only Canadian Work experience and have 966 Points.

In the application, it now stating that I met only under CEC. Now, if the system has to pick my profile and Invite, that should be under CEC

Hi rakikira,

Does this mean you did not declare any of your previous work exp in the new EE profile?

Thanks,

Should they not clear everything before they set out draws...it's seems more harassment like this...
Why would i wait for another year to pass by if I had to apply in FSW only...could have done it last year only ...but if someone completes a year with Canadian exp, their profile should be considered for CEC only ..no ECA..no liquid funds...doesn't sum to to CEC ...it looks like a trap to reject a profile with all facts...
Sorry m sounding frustrated..but this is what happening..

Did you decline the current invitation? And did not specific any foreign work ex?
Thanks,

Sorry, forgot to add that I haven't received ITA yet.
I met the criteria for FST (because of my foreign experience) and CEC... I've removed all my foreign experience in order to be eligible under CEC only.
