Hi,
I am a Network Administrator with 2 years and 3 Months Experience. I have worked with Cisco Firewalls, Routers and Switches. I have also worked with SOPHOS Firewalls and Vmware Esxi Servers, I am CCNA, CCNP and MCITP Certified. According to my skills I see NOC: 2281 will be good for me. Could you please let me know, what should be the process to apply for Express Entry. Could you please let me know step by step procedure?
CIC website is the sloppiest website I've ever seen, no wonder one feels lost.
You need to spend sometime reading the stuff on this forum.
to start with you need to go to the http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp to calculate your points.
1. Appear for IELTS, and obtain the result
2. Get ECA completed through WES(it takes a minimum of 20 days from the day WES receives the transcripts)
3. Open http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/mycic.asp, and click "Continue to GCKey" --> Create a login id
4. Go to "What would you like to do today?" section, under "Apply for" click "visitor visa, study and/or work permit"
5. Under "I do not have a Personal Reference Code" click "Detemine your eligibility..."
6. Complete the questionaire
7. After sometime the application will be reviewed and a message will be posted notifying you if you are eligible or not
8. If you are eligible then your CRS points will be shown
** Arrange experience letters from your employer(on the company letterhead) detailing the skills which match NOC 2281
** Also arrange PCC(Police Clearance Certificate) as it might be time consuming
9. At this stage you have to wait for the DRAW, if your application is selected on the basis of the CRS points then you will be sent an ITA(Invitation To Apply)
10. Upon getting the ITA, you have to submit all the related documents within 60 days, else your application will be rejected
****Senior members please correct me if anything is wrong and add if I have missed anything else****
