Good evening house, please I have a question...is it necessary my wife take IELTS with me to apply or mine as the principal applicant enough?

Not mandatory. She can take the exam if you wish to claim points for her language skills.

If your score as the PA is sufficient to fetch you ITA then there's no need for her to write the exam.

Hi,

I have a question. I recently created an Express Entry profile. But I am confused about the NOC code. I am a software engineer/programmer and into IT but with a BTech degree in Electronics & Telecommunications. So initially I selected NOC 2173 (Software engineers and designers). But there is another NOC 2174 (Computer programmers & Interactive media developers).

Though the job duties are similar but the employment requirement are different.

While NOC 2173 states:

• A bachelor's degree, usually in computer science, computer systems engineering, software engineering or mathematics or Completion of a college program in computer science is usually required.

NOC 2174 states:

• A bachelor's degree in computer science or in another discipline with a significant programming component or Completion of a college program in computer science is usually required.

http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/noc/QuickSearch.aspx?ver=16&val65=2174

So my question is, being from Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering background, which NOC code will be appropriate for me. Also does the educational background plays a vital role in selecting NOC code.

Please guide me in this as currently I have NOC 2173 in my express entry profile.

Thanks in advance.

Your Job Description is what matters. Ensure that your JD corresponds with the NOC you're going to use. Your job title and class of degree or course of study do not matter.

Please can I combine multiple jobs with different NOCs to meet 3 year requirement? Say for instance one has 1 year and 2 months experience as an Office Administrator - NOC 1221, 1 year as a Biological technologist - NOC 2221, and currently having 11 months experience as Health, Safety and Environmental Officer - NOC 2263.

Please be aware that these experiences were gotten under different NOCs. Thank you.

yes you

Please is it safe to combine multiple jobs with different NOCs to meet 3 year requirement? Say for instance one has 1 year and 2 months experience as an Office Administrator - NOC 1221, 1 year as a Biological technologist - NOC 2221, and currently having 11 months experience as Health, Safety and Environmental Officer - NOC 2263.

Yes it is quite OK to have multiple NOC in your profile under work eperience. But you still have to select one as a primary NOC in EE profile.

Thank you for replying. But I have a question, when I combine these jobs to have 3 years working experience, will selecting one as my primary NOC not affect my application seeing that neither of them is up to three years? I'd use my current job as my primary NOC and it's just 11 months experience.

it does not as long as all are part of their NOC list and all should be part of Skills 0, A and B.

No

Thank you for the clarification. I became confused after reading somewhere that to max out work experience points, the experiences must fall under one NOC code. I also saw an old tweet from RICC to this effect, but I want to believe that it is an old tweet; maybe previously it wasn't possible to combine work experience gotten under different NOCs.

It is when you evaluate it that you will know for a certainty what you will use. But if I were to advise you, I'd say it is equivalent to a Canadian Bachelors degree four or more years program. I have been in engineering five year program which was evaluated as 4 year bachelor degree in Canada by Wes. You may as well use Wes free equivalent tool to determine the equivalence of your degree when evaluated.

Hello everyone,

I have a small query. If someone is able to guide me, I'll be really grateful.

It is regarding settlement funds. I am the principal applicant and would be going with my husband and kid as and when I receive the ITA. Score is 446. However, I do not have necessary funds required for 3 people in my savings account balance or term deposits. My husband's general provident fund (government fund) adequately covers the fund requirement. Will this be accepted by the Canadian authorities or is it necessary that only the principal applicant's account should have the required balance.

Please guide me on how to go about the settlement funds as I am expecting ITA in the near future seeing the current trends.
