Re: Doubt on the NOC code for self employment

Hello.
I am under CEC category and got AOR today.
I am claiming foreign self-employed experience points with NOC A which is different from the Canadian Experience.
Would this be an issue???
Hi! As I also live in Alberta, I sent to IQAS, as they are located in Edmonton, I even dropped in person my application (actually dropped it into their mail box - no person to receive it directly). After they had received all my documents, they took between 14 business days to complete it.
I would recommend them, they actually only failed by sending my report to my old address (the one I originally filled my application with). I had contacted them to tell in advance about the changing in my address, as I had moved, and they still did not pay attention to that and sent to the wrong address anyways. After waiting few days and not receiving my report, I contacted them explaining that they probably sent it to my old address, and they checked on their file and noticed their mistake and resent me another report right away, I was able to get it 2 days later then.
As people are saying you would need your secondary education documents if using WES, then I think you should really try IQAS. I only sent them my post-secondary education documents (dental degree, master and specialization), with that in mind, you would save some money, as you would not only have to pay (usually) for your past high school to provide such documents, but you would also have to pay for translations of those documents. So the less documents you need to send, the better, particularly when they originally are not in English.
Hope it helps you! Good luck!
