FSW EE step-by-step guide in Vietnamese / Hướng dẫn nộp hồ sơ FSW EE

Hi friends,

Husband & I got PR in Dec-2017 via FSW EE. Much of the understanding comes from this forum. We wrote this step by step guide with hope that it may, in turn, help someone in need, especially to other Vietnamese.

Sorry to write in Vietnamese as other guides in English are already well done .

All the best.

IELTS Score

S-7
L-7
W-6.5
Age- 28yrs
Education- MBA which my ECA considered post grad diploma
B.tech in Electrical Engineering ( Considered 4yr program)

I am aware that i will have to appear for exam again to target better marks but i have no idea why it said i am not eligible ..can anybody suggest what should i do ?

Hi, I also did an EE profile and it said not eligible... but then I realized that the question about Education was not available. Were you able to select Education?

After year and half of full time, I'll be switching to new company.
I'm expecting to get 2 years of full time experience from half year from now on.

What should I get from my current company before leaving on this Friday?

Does CIC care about past work experience, or only current?

In POF letter, we have balance as on date greater than required amt but for last six months balance is 2-3 lakhs

In LOE do we have to explain ?

Hello Friends,
Last month i got LOA from MPNP and i am in process of applying full application in EE. The problem is my current address got changed which i can easily update in express entry profile. But in MPNP account there is no option to update address once assessment is complete and moreover my address is there on the LOA letter as well. Kindly advice if i can use my old address only in EE profile instead of new address just to skip mismatch in both accounts??

Can we apply for PNP with 6 or 6.5 bands?

Assuming that you are applying for EE, you will need to show the source of funds if they are a recent addition in your account. If these were given to you by your parents then a Gift Deed would be required. Or if you have arranged for these funds after a sale of assets or a car etc then a sale receipt will do.

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.

Hi,
I am working as customer service and I think it come in NOC C, so what should i do now?
TIA

As the post of Stanlee is of Mar 9, 2015 at 10:58 AM, I really do not know if it is still the to-do process, writing this post on september 2018, could somebody please, share how/what has it changed since then?

As well, so far, I do believe the very first step, regardless of the program for which anyone apply, is to have on hand the language test results. Anyway, I could be wrong. So please, any help on that would be appreciated.

Facts:

I (secondary applicant) have liquidated my MF investments and amount got transferred into my individual bank account. Then I transferred the amount to Joint bank account holding with primary applicant. I have obtained POF for joint bank account.

Query:

So I will have to submit what all docs? please explain? Also let me know if i have to obtain POF letter for my (secondary applicant) individual bank account?

I applied for express entry and immediately received a message stating that i dont qualify which was quite shocking. Is this automated message a temporary one till the time my application gets reviewed or it is to be considered as the ultimate rejection.

Can someone please help / suggest / guide.
