I'm confused regarding the validation of my school degrees !
1- where can i validate 'em in my country? (Morocco)
2 - should the validation be done within those 2 months i have for the application ?
3- do i need transcripts as well ?
4- should the LMIA be validated within those 2 months as well ?
5- any other thing I MUST KNOW please tell me , i found the procedure very confusing by lack of information !

Thanks
 
OK,

Slow down.

Are you now in Canada or Morocco?
 
This is from a different sticky thread, but this is the step by step instructions with links.

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

I started profile before getting the assessement !
how can i solve this problem ?

What assessment? The education assessment/ECA?

If you're applying in CEC or FST, it's not required, you can edit your profile later on when you get it for additional points. It's only required for FSW.
 
Education assessement yes
FST ? CEC ? FSW?
All i know is that i'm a computer programmer with 7 years of experience , and applying for ontario , my futur employer will work an LMIA out !

Have you ever worked in Canada?

You're all over the place.

1. Have you created an EE profile? If not, start here to check your eligibility.

2. If your 'future employer' will work an LMIA out, you'll have to wait till that process is completed. You don't necessarily need to get transcripts as you probably wouldn't need those extra points if you have an LMIA supported job.

3. If this future employer is working an LMIA out for you, ask them to educate you about this process. Additionally, read the top 2/3 threads on this page. With 7 years of computer programming experience, you will probably need less than a couple of hours to get a hang of the EE process.

4. ITA (Invitation to Apply) comes much later in the process and you'll have 2 months after that to submit required documentation. If you've somehow already received an ITA without having transcripts and/or an LMIA, you've probably misrepresented yourself. Decline the ITA if that's the case.

All the best!
 
No i've never worked in canada !
1- Yes i started my profile 2 days ago , i thought it was the right to do so when i got my Language tests results !
2- means i shouldn't start my profile untile the LMIA is done ?

My main concern is that now since i started my profile they are telling me i should submit it within two months ! and i still have to get the LMIA and the ECA !
can i just cancel my profile and start again when i think i'm ready ?

What are you submitting in 2 months? Who is asking you? Did you receive an invitation from CIC?

The normal process is below... follow it carefully... Please tell us what stage you are at:

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

OK, so you have created an EE profie. Are they asking you to create a job bank account in 60 days?

How did you receive an ITA without getting your educational credentials assessed?

Or are you talking about job bank?
 
i'm only talking about the invitation to create a profile , i'm not sure if that's ITA , i passed the just elligibility quiz , and they gave me a ref code to create my profile with and that's it !
