Hello,

I am trying to complete and send the application by thrusday or friday this week and then cross everything that I have not missed the boat this year!

But I have a few questions and hope someone can help me -

My questions -

I get max points for education 25, max for language 24, max for age 10 - total now 59.

My query is now for work exp. I have completed one year exp in the qualifying NOC which gives me 15 points. So my total points now - 74.(please let me know if I have missed something here or over calculated)

My previous work exp is under the same NOC and with the same organisation but I was working part time then and it was a temp job. I did this job for 3 years (1.5 eqv FT). I can get a reference letter indicating this and my job responsibility but there was never a contract. Should I mark this job for assessment and claim points for the work exp? or it is better to give the ref letter and not claim the points?

My second question is -
If I send my original contract, does it still needs to be notarised?

Third question -
My degrees - I have come to an understanding that I have to send the original degree? Am I correct? I have sealed transcripts from all my universities.

Fourth question -
They haven't asked for job desc. Would it be advisable to include that anyway?

Many thanks once again.

To make sure CIC or VO also award you the same points

1. Education - Sealed transcripts (which you already have)
2. IELTS & TEF - both originals
3. Age - Birth certificate (notarized)
4. Work exp. - you only need to show one year experience in a qualifying NOC. Make sure you have enough evidence in the form of contract/reference letters etc.
 
Thanks ptv7425!

Do I need to send the original degree along with sealed transcript?

And if I send the original contract, do I still need to notarise that?

Thanks

1. Usually if there is a sealed transcript, originals are not needed, you could attach a notarized copy of the degree certificate(s).
2. Notarized copy of the contract should be enough.

But please read the VO specific instructions to be sure.
 
Thanks.

I have got transcripts from my university and it is sealed but not stamped at the back. Will this be a problem?

The envelop is university's though.
 
hi explorer967...

I am very excited to know that you scored 8 or more in French Language Test...
You must be very fluent in French...I just got a certificate course in French...
Could you please tell me from which Institution you took the test...can you provide me the details..how to go about it...!!

I hope you got your rest of the answers till now..
Thanks, Johny
 
Hi,

I made the mistake in points calculation! I thought 24 is for English. Then it was an aha moment when i realised 24 is for both English and French.

I know nothing of French!!! :-(

Kept thinking how come I have soo many points!!!!

Hmmm.....
