Hi,

Could anyone help me with information on what happens after we get the COPR? I mean, how long a stay should I plan for Canada when I come for the first time?

It is an unpredictable thing. Some may get it in 7 days or others ma get it in 180 days. It really becomes hard to generalize on those things.

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.

Lots and lots of people. Go through the forums, there are hundreds of examples. Including my own.

I was on a LMIA supported close work permit NOC B for 2 years, and now I am on a 1 year open work permit now. I would like to know if I have can select "YES" here or not? Any idea?

8) Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (if needed)?
A valid job offer must be

• full-time
• in a skilled job listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B in the 2011 National Occupational Classification
• supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or exempt from needing one
• for one year from the time you become a permanent resident

A job offer isn’t valid if your employer is:

• an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada or
• on the list of ineligible employers.

Whether an offer is valid or not also depends on different factors, depending on your case. See a full list of criteria for valid job offers.

Hai I m arun,
I just want to ask that I submitted my application for express entry in Canada. I m having only secondary college (puc) but my agency asking for transcript certificate for that to submit in WES.
Whether transcript still required for secondary education?

Thank you.

As per the new ruling from 1st of December 2018, the boards need to send the transcripts directly to WES for the verification in a sealed envelope. They are neither to be submitted by you personally or any third party. Bu do make sure you have WES reference number mentioned on the certificates.

Hi All,

I have a question. My sister is a Canadian passport holder but doesn't live in Canada. I believe the condition laid out in the application is that the relation needs to be a passport holder and living there. But she also owns a house there, in the name of my brother in law and they have a joint account.

Will I be able to claim points?

How do I get the chance to go to work in Canada?

If you have Permanent Resident Visa it will help you to get work there easily. Rest what job you will get there all depends on your profile like your education and your work experience.

 

[Komal Danson]

Can we apply first to Express entry and then later send the ECA report? Or it is important to have ECA done before applying. For example in my case, I have applied for ECA and expecting it, should I apply for Express entry or wait till I get my ECA done and get the mail

Thank you

Firstly you need to create the profile in express entry pool. Then the first step is to get the ECA done.

Will I be able to claim points?

No. The rule is that your Canadian relative (citizen/PR) must be living in Canada. If you try and claim points otherwise, it's a clear case of misrepresentation and you can be banned for five years. It's very easy for IRCC to know that your sister isn't living there.

Hello everyone

I have a question with regard to the comprehensive ranking system (CRS) score for the level of education. I am currently a PhD student on study permit in Canada in my third year of PhD. So I would like to ask if I am eligible for the 30 points from post secondary education in Canada credential three years or longer. Since the selection has the option doctoral degree of at least one academic year, so I have already completed 2 years of my PhD and also my courses and PhD comprehensive exam and currently in third year but haven't received degree yet, but expected to receive the degree after completing my thesis in a year.

Therefore I would be really grateful if an expert can answer my query of eligibility for these 30 points from post secondary education in Canada in the current situation.

Thank you for your anticipation and time.

I have been working as an online tutor for an e-learning company. I have been working full time for 2.5 yrs but as a freelancer.Am I eligible to apply as the primary applicant for Express Entry?Is it mandatory that the primary applicant should have an employee-employer experience? Is there any other immigration program which I should try?

Hi all... I am new here. I have some questions.
1. My Passport has a different address from the current one. Do I need to update that? If I update the address, would that change the passport number in the reissued passport?
2. My husbands birth certificate contains a different name. What documents are needed to rectify that? Can we submit any other document like the 10th standard admit card which contains his DOB?

1. No, you don't need the address on the passport to match your current address.
2. You don't usually need the birth certificate for Express Entry. Have you been asked to upload it?
