Express Entry Step by step instructions.

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.

No, you can't because you don't have the degree yet. If you had the degree, then you would have been able to. Currently you haven't completed the requirements of your degree, so you can't get the points.

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?

No, it's not mandatory for the work to be employer-employee. It can be self-employed as well. However it will need to meet the other criteria (paid, one year of experience, and NOC 0,A,B). If you meet these requirements and can provide documents to prove that you meet them, you can apply

This is possible only if, as you said, the concerned person fulfills the other requirements. But the point the, the Express Entry is for skilled workers. The person is seeking the skilled visa under the business experience. I think that is subject to skepticism. You need to check the things before proceeding.

Hello everyone
I am a bit confused about if I need to get the Police Clearance done from Canada as well because I have stayed there for more than 6 months on a study visa after which i came back to india and am applying for permanent residence from India itself.

Would really appreciate your opinion.
Thanks!

The person concerned said they've been working as a freelance instructor. Not sure where you're getting the "business experience bit". Anyway, my point was simple - self-employed experience can qualify you for Express Entry, it's not mandatory to be employed in a job as an "employee". The rest of it depends on the specifics of your experience.

No, not to create the profile.

After you get the ITA, that's when you need to provide job reference letters, payslips, etc.

Thank you for reply,

I was actually asking for "Job offer letter from Canadian Employer" to make Express Entry process faster!

It's not mandatory, nor does it make it faster per se.

What it does is give you more points (50 points). However, the actual processing time post submission is not really impacted.

So if you have 480 points with a job offer from Canada, and someone else has 480 points without the job offer, both applications will be processed in the usual 3-6 month time frame.

The minimum qualification required for the job is Masters and I have a Masters in Technology. I work as a tutor for an e-learning company but as a freelancer.I am not sure if it comes under skilled or business category.

Would that company, you are working with as a freelancer, provide you with the experience certificate for the same?

Freelance in itself is a business. As per Canadian guidelines it should be under self employed visa I think of business visa, as far as my knowledge goes. Express Entry is for skilled and qualified workers.

Moreover, if this can be shown a part time experience than a freelance one and the person compensates for the full time work in part time, then I think that would be more convenient enough to apply under Express Entry System.
