Dear All, news from my side, we’ve just got my spouse IELTS result which came better than predicted, with that our CRS score is now 447. The only problem is that we are going to loose points beginning of March (birthday), Tough question, do you believe that with 447 we may get an ITA in Feb/19?

Same with me, second attempt but I fall short of .5 from 8777. Need to make it before July.
Btw did your spousal eca points are included in 447?

I am looking forward to apply for Express entry. here is my situation -
My wife and I planned to apply for Express entry with my wife being the principal applicant and with me as Co- applicant.
My crs score:

> Overall score: 7.5

> Individual score:
> Listening- 8.5

My education : Bachelor's degree
Wife's crs score:
> Overall score: 7

> Individual score:
> Listening- 8
> Reading- 7

> Speaking- 6
Wife's education: Double Bachelor( as considered by wes/ eca report )

Have got around 15 years of experience in IT sector
My age : 38
Wife's age: 37

The score isn't coming good enough to get an ITA for Express entry

2: I know about PNP however I know that's unpredictable and not clear
3: I am open for QSWP/ Quebec experience class - I am not sure about the points there as I don't have proficiency in French.

I am currently working on Closed Work Permit for IT company for last 8 months in Canada. in the CRS tool - for question 8) Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (if needed)? .. which option do I select ? (Yes/No)
If your NOC / function / employer does not fall under the LMIA exemption - answer No.
On the other hand, after 1year full time permanent job in Canada you are gonna be able to claim points and fall under CEC.

Have you thought about trying to achieve CLB 9 First language principal applicant? That could add 50 extra points beyond the language points.

Hi,
I received my ECA assessment today. I have a 3 yrs bachelors degree and a 2 yrs masters degree in computer science.

IQAS stated equivalency as:

Bachelors degree compares to completion of 3 yrs bachelors of science.

Masters degree compares to completion of 4 years bachelors of science degree.

Can somebody tell what does it mean? Will I need to select bachelors in the express entry profile or 2 or more certificates, diplomas or degrees?

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your suggestion. This option is totally new to me and I wasnt aware of what CLB is. I need it research it and see how can i get it done Or if you have a brief idea do you mind explaining?
    Atleast there is a ray of hope I guess. Thanks again.
    If you come across any other way please do let me know.

Hi,

You enter each bachelors degree separately and the system will give you points for 2 or more degrees.

Thanks, I submitted with two degrees separately and got points for two or more degrees as you said.

I didn't see any entry for my dependant kids, only spouse forms were there in the express entry application. Did I miss it or kids entry is not required at this stage?

Regards.

Hi,

That's an odd question after you have received your ITA. What information did you provide on your profile? However to answer your question , your spouse does not nees to have any education, but having it just adds to your points.
