Thanks SithLord. Yes, I will be doing evaluation with WES, but even then my degree will be considered as graduate only right Or I am missing something. Yes i calculated points with CLB 9 in IELTS, and could make only 427 points which i don't think sufficient for the invitation.
Then you can either apply for any PNP or you can do any diploma and get the points for 2 or more degrees. Another option is to learn French and increase few points.

Hi guys,

Serious help needed here. My application to enter the Express Entry pool was denied 2 times, even though I was deemed eligible.
Details:

Age: 28
Education Level: Masters :Evaluated by WES
Work Experience: 2 years and 6 months
NOC code: 2133: Electrical and electronics Engineering
Job title: Automation and Validation Engineer
IELTS Score: 8.5 overall (Reading 9, Listening 9, speaking 8.5, Writing 7.5)

I really have no clue why I was ineligible. Can anyone please help?
Do check if you are entering the right number of HOURS PER WEEK.
When I tried to create my profile initially, I kept entering 8 Hrs per week, which had been actually 8 Hrs per day ~ 40 Hrs per week, leading to profile deemed ineligible as it did not sum up to 1 year of experience required. I corrected this on my third attempt and my profile was accepted in the pool then.

Hi,

Can i claim two or more points for Bachelors and Completion of college level certificate(one semester) WES equivalence?

I heard some people got away with the evaluation but some were saying this is not possible.

Also, note that previously WES was used to give one year for the same course for which I have received one semester evaluation. So, is there anyway to revolt this situation and apply with one semester ECA? Can anyone pls suggest what can be done in this situation? Thanks

Where did you read people got away with one semester evaluation?

Unfortunately, one semester doesn't count for points. WES now sucks with their evaluation. Even I received one semester evaluation so I have opted to go for IQAS.

You can try with WES and see how they have given 1 semester for the same course thats evaluated as 1 year. BTW What was the program?

Hello friends,

Just got the ITA on the 99th draw, however I think they had a mix up of my name and my husband's name !
The account is on my name, the applicant is my name too. However the welcome page; candidate name is my husband (??)

And now the ITA is on my husband name with all CRS calculated based on my information ! What should I do ? Decline and then create another profile ? Or contact them to understand why ? Or continue to apply and send the LOE saying they had a mix up of name ?

Thanks a lot !!!

Hello everyone, thanks for answering the question I posted earlier on this blog. However, permit me to clear my doubt on this: my wife got ITA under express entry on 22 Aug 18 and I am willing to accompany the family. I am a military personnel and not willing to resign my job now because I am presently on a UN peacekeeping mission. My plan is to accompany them to Canada (to allow me get PR) while I return back to my home country to continue my military Job to a point when I will later resign and join them afterwards. I have heard that being a military personnel will attract more security checks (any useful information regarding the security checks apart from Police Clearance). What are my chances to pull through this with the immigration officer in view of the fact that I am still in the service (no evidence of resignation to present). I need useful advice. We have not submitted our application because of this confusion. Thanks.

Hello guyz,

I am from India. I have got 7.5 in IELTS and have got 8.9 years of IT experience. I am a graduate (4 year program) in Computer Science. Even I have got my brother there as a permanent resident in Toronto. Still I am not crossing 380. What more do I need to do in order to reach 440+ ?

What is your age, IELTS each band score, education credentials? Did you get ECA done?

you need to improve on your IELTS scores. Ensure to have band score 8 in listening and 7 in the rest. that should boost your score.

Hi,
Require expert's advice - regarding gap during work.
I've got a gap of six months during my work experience. The reason is, I was in the process of settling down in India from Singapore.
Details:
6th June 2011 to 30th Sept 2015 - Account Development ins Shipping and Logistics (different NOC)

GAP - 1st Oct 2015 to April 10th 2016

April 11th 2016 to Present - working as Business Analyst (NOC 2171) - 2.6 years work experience

I'm aware, that i should showcase proofs and docs in regards to study and work from age 18 till present.
Can someone kindly advice, is it mandatory to project this work gap or is there any other section in e-APR to mention this?
