Hi
Please advice on below -
1. What all provinces can be reached out currently in order to obtain nominations.
2. Is Eca required for All provinces?
3. Can we apply to multiple provinces simultaneously as to obtain nominations.
4. Tried to understand 2175 occupation list and the documentation part of is totally confusing. Please advice what are these cips, aitp, itcp, oid etc and what exactly needs to be done in obtaining it.
5. Is there any province which do not require work experience?

1.Are ECA and WES same?
2. I have WES report got in Oct 2014. Is this report still valid? Can I just go ahead and get a duplicate copy of the report?

ECA is Educational Credential Evaluation which is done by WES and they have a 5 year validity so your WES report from 2014 should still be valid.

1. You need to check on the specific province website and see which provinces are open for PNP applications currently and if your NOC is in their demand list.

2. Yes. ECA is mandatory even if you are not applying to a province.

3. Yes. But you can only accept nomination from one province

4. CIPS etc are the certifying associations for NOC 2175 occupation, as this NOC is a regulated occupation in most provinces and requires you to be certified as qualified to work in this NOC for that province (please see more information below)

5. No province will accept you without work experience unless you are applying as a student or a spouse whose work experience is not required for CRS points.


Information for Point 4:
CIPS (Canada's association of IT Professionals) for certain IT NOC .

Licencing has been introduced and made mandatory by SINP starting August 2017.

Provide documentation from the Canadian Association of Information Technology Professionals (CIPS) showing your:
For more information, visit the provincial regulator the Canadian Association of Information Technology Professionals (CIPS).

For most IT professionals, ISP is the right certification.

Apply for the I.S.P. under the Education Plus Experience Route (http://www.cips.ca/EdplusEx). Under this route you are required to have your official transcripts sent to us directly from your educational institutions, along with a Canadian course-by-course equivalency assessment (assessment centers listed in application). If your course-by-course equivalency assessment indicates that they received your official transcripts directly from your school(s) then you can have the assessment center mail us an official copy of your assessment instead of having your school mail us your official transcripts.


Alternatively you can apply for the I.S.P. under the "Established IT Professionals Route" (http://www.cips.ca/EstablishedITProfessionals), which is purely experience based, and would not require you to send your transcripts. Under this route you would document your knowledge and experience that you've gained over the years in the listed knowledge areas.

You are not required to have experience in all knowledge areas, however your total points gained from the knowledge areas must be greater than 21 points. While you will be providing your personal opinion about the points you believe to have in each knowledge area, the CIPS Experience Review Committee will ultimately determine how many points you are assessed at.
