Adding one more point that I am confused about to this list:
NOC list :
In the Q&A page for EE there is some confusing info on Job NOC list:
I m not allowed to add links so here is the page title that I am talking about : Notice – Express Entry questions and answers
the first question's answer says that EE "is new way of managing applications in a number of existing economic immigration programs:
Federal Skilled Worker Program,
Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
Canadian Experience Class.
Provinces and territories will also be able to recruit candidates from the Express Entry pool for a portion of the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) in order to meet local labour market needs.
Through Express Entry, people who meet the criteria for one of these programs will be placed into a pool of candidates. The Government of Canada, provincial and territorial governments, and Canadian employers will be able to select people from this pool."
If this is the case then as per the FSW guidelines we need to have 1 year work experience in one of the 50 eligible occupations to be eligible for exp entry.
The conflicting info is in question 13 of Q&A page for EE
13. Will there be a list of eligible occupations for Express Entry?
No. Express Entry will not include an eligible occupation list or occupation caps at the time of launch.
To be eligible to enter the pool, Express Entry candidates must have skilled work experience in a National Occupational Code (NOC) 0, A or B occupation. Jobs offered to candidates in the pool must be in one of these categories.
Now I am confused, if anyone who has had work experience in any National Occupational Code (NOC) 0, A or B occupation can apply under exp entry or do we need to have 1 year work experience in one of the 50 eligible occupations as per the FSW guidelines.
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) criteria gives points for only Canadian work experience which most people may not have.
If thats the case then why does the work experience (from outside canada) matter as long as it qualifies for National Occupational Code (NOC) 0, A or B occupation.
Seniors please help... ??? ???
