Express Entry in a nutshell

[cafe0707]

HI there,

I am a newbie so I hardly go through all hundreds of pages here. I've been searching information for weeks and still got something unclear.

Please anyone who has experience on Express Entry help me:

1/ If I am applying as Federal Skilled Worker, besides my skills are in type O, or skill A or B in NOC. Is it has to meet the list of job required by each State at the time I apply? If yes then what web for me to check this information?

2/ Do I need to get ECA for my certificates as FSW? If I have:

- Bachelor's college (3 years) and bachelor's university ( 1.5years) as same majority of accounting ( FYI: 1.5 year program is a continuous course to upgrade my college's bachelor).
- Master's degree (8 months) in Business Management.
- Certificate of Chief Human Resources Officer ( short-term program in 3 months)
Which one I should submit to WES?
3/ Do I also need to get ECA for my IELTS?
4/ My majority is accounting but my experience is in administrative and human resources. Is it a problem for my application?

Look forward to hear from you guys

Thank you

Thank you

1) Any occupation in type 0, A or B will do, however if you are getting Provincial Nomination they may be looking for specific skills.
2)Yes you have to get all qualifications you are claiming points for assessed. I would send my Masters and Bachelors but visit WES and do the free assessment. This will tell you which ones they recognize.
3)NO, IELTS results a good as they are. In addition, WES only assesses academic qualifications.

It should be Sri Lanka. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I'm in the same boat, I only went to the UK for my graduation.

Thanks TanakaM for your reply. I would like to add:

WES will evaluate all your degrees and diplomas within 1 (yes 1) application fee. They will give you Canadian equivalent for each degree you have and finally comment on your highest degree.

One simple question:

Does order of address/personal history details matter, Everytime I enter or modify exisiting row, the order gets messed up.
Please reply.

Yes, it does. You have to start with the most recent. It's just a shame that the site doesn't allow us to insert or move entries. It would be much more user friendly if it did.

I would suggest you list everything on a document and make sure you have everything before entering it into your application. It worked for me.

All the best

Thank you, I have everything copied in excel sheet. So should I start entering from the most recent and going towards past ?
Also, few personal activites are already copied there, so should I adjust that as well?

Yes you can, then reenter them in order.

An advice please.
I can collect some reference letters from my previous colleagues, people with whom I attended some courses and internships over the years. Do you think this kind of recommendations would be helpful when arriving in Canada? Will these be helpfull in securing a job, cosidering I have no Canadian experince? Will they be a plus for me or I should't bother ....
