Also i guess you should check the minimum funds requirements..they have increased the amounts by a small no.
I'd experienced the same problem for the first time and then realized that the fund values have changed..it does not reflect on their online crs tool but during filling out EE forms you will have to provide the updated values based on your family members
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.
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
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.

Hi, I think 435 will be breached very soon. Last year it went down much further down than that. And this year they have increased the targets so every chance of thus happenIng within 2-4 months, if not earlier. In my view the higher cutoffs in last few rounds were because of 2 missed draws, as
It would be great if you could please help me out on the below please-
I am in the process of applying for my girlfriend's PR, she has worked in the Pharmaceutical Industry and ideally her NOC falls under 3131 (Industrial Pharmacist) according to the roles and responsibilities. She has a MPharm & BPharm evaluated by WES. I have read conflicting stories on the forum that PEBC ECA is required for NOC3131 but have also heard that WES ECA is fine if a license was not required to practice the profession. She did not require a license to do her job and also she does not intend to practice as a pharmasist in the future in Canada.
Should we go ahead with NOC 3131 with WES evaluation or is PEBC a must?
Alternatively, her roles and responsibilities also match somewhat to NOC 4165 and we could make it work with the work experience letter. NOC 3131 (Industrial pharmacist) is a better fit than NOC4165.
The intended landing destination is Ontario.
Can you please advise what is the best course of action in this case?
I have a Masters Degree from Canada for which I have claimed points for when filling out my expression of interest. For my Canadian degrees I do not need to do my ECA obviously. I also have my undergraduate degree and high school from my home country (4 year Bachelor Degree).
My questions are:
1) Do I need to do a Educational Credential Evaluation (ECA) for my undergraduate degree and high school degrees which were earned from outside Canada? Does the fact that I have a masters (a higher degree than a Bachelors) from Canada makes it unnecessary to do a ECA for my non-Canadian high school and Bachelors degrees? Or does CIC expect Express Entry Invitees to conduct a ECA for ALL of their non-Canadian degrees?
2) Do we (my spouse and I) also need to do the ECA for high school? I have already done my wife's ECA for her bachelors.
I am hoping seniors and experienced members of the forum will be able to guide me on this. I want to complete all my ECAs carefully in advance and without missing anything.
Thank you in advance and I am sorry if my question appears elementary.
Also kudos to all the members of this forum for keeping all the extremely useful and informative discussions going. You all are wonderful!

I am new to this forum and I am also not familiar with FSW Express Entry application process. I have a question:
I want to apply for Express Entry as married with spouse as accompanying and see if I get an ITA, and later if I don't get selected I want to change the application to the married but non-accompanying spouse. My score with accompanying spouse is 442 and non-accompanying spouse is 469. After entering Canada I will apply for her PR if I say non-accompanying on Express Entry application.
Once I say spouse is accompanying, later can I make changes to my application to spouse non-accompanying or vice-versa? Or will it be considered as cheating if I say married and spouse as non-accompanying just to achieve a higher score?

Since you have a Canadian Masters you don't need an ECA for your Bachelor's degree or high school. Though you can still get it done for peace of mind. Hope that helps.

Thank you,

If you have informed IRCC about your marital status, then there is no problem if you accompany your wife with you or not. you can definitely change your profile for decreasing/increasing your CRS points. But do not change your marital status to single.
I need a help regarding EE .My cousin is willing to apply EE with spouse and kid.He is in IT field.he has 12 years experience in India .he has Cisco certification.
My question is,
Should he get a original job experience certificate from company or attestation copy should do good ?
Because it is very hard to get a original letter from company’s letterhead since it is a MNC .
I have heard that Canadian immigration demands an original document interms of employment experience.

Just to answer that, I belong to IT industry as well. And, there is a specific format which needs to be printed on Company letterhead and on any given day, you can request HR to do it for you.
I have my working experience in my home country as a publishing coordinator for more than 3 years in the last 10 years.
I tried to search my job title from the NOC code but I couldn't find the exactly same one in their list. Instead, my job description and duties are pretty much similar to NOC 1241 - Administrativhie Assistant (about 70%).
In this case, would it be okay to use this NOC code for my working experience as well as to get my reference letter from employer with the job title of 'Administrative Assistant' ?

I will definitely say that I am married, but will just say spouse as accompanying first and see if I get ITA, and if I don't get it, I will say spouse as non-accompanying to raise my score. Is saying spouse accompanying and later non-accompanying just to increase the score is not termed as cheating?
I want to clear this before doing anything as such. My wife doesn't have any specific reason to mention if she gets asked why she is not accompanying me, as she doesn't work or study.
