Hi Tanaka and everyone,

I created an EE profile last Jan(2018) with CRS score of 401 and is due to expire now.

However I retook the IELTS(LSRW-8.5,7,8,7) this month and the CRS score improved to 459. Meanwhile I got married last July.

I am yet to resubmit EE profile.

With spouse accompanying, the CRS score is 433 and without spouse it is 459.

Considering the current trends, is it a good idea to apply alone and then consider bringing my spouse? If so, how long will it take and will there be any other requirements then?

If any other suggestions or advice, please do not hesitate.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
My ielts score improved. How do I update it in EOI. Do I have to change old data or add another language result.
Wishes,

Hello!
Could you kindly advise me on the following:
I`m a primary applicant, does my husband need to pass IELTS? He will not be able to get WES evaluation. As I understand, anyway the application fee ($550), and RPRF ($490) should be paid for both applicants, primary and dependent?

Thank you.

Hi,

1. Degree certificates and the ECA are more than enough. No need for mark sheet.
2. All document should be in their original colour. So you need to scan all documents as they are. If the original is in black and white then its fine. If not, it may cause problems.

regards
Thanks a lot!

A few more questions with respect to the documents.

1. What should be the background color for Digital photo. - Is it white background as CIC doesn't specify it in the instructions.
2. My organization is unwilling to provide any kind of employment reference letter and not even providing any response by e-mail for my request. Hence, I am trying to get a personal reference from my colleague. Should the personal reference letter contain my salary details and the joining date details also, as my colleague is unaware of these details.

I am referring this thread for reference letter template - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/nail-the-challenge-of-getting-reference-letter-from-current-employer.397796/

Thanks once again.

Hello everyone,

I'm grateful to learn from the information shared on this form by all members :) Thank you for helping each other. I'm going to apply for my PR by the end of this month through the CEC. I have a question about my NOC. I'm working as a Program Assistant and I found that my job duties fall under the following two NOCs:

1223 Human resources and recruitment officers
1241 Administrative assistants

Here is a list of my job duties:
  • Designs and produces brochures, posters and promotional materials for Sheriff Recruit Training for signoff by the Superintendent, OPS.
  • Types, formats and proof reads a variety of documents and materials such as presentation material graphs, flow charts, tables, reports, briefing notes, correspondence, spreadsheets from draft or hand-written notes using desktop tools.
  • Addresses questions and provides information received from the general public and partner organizations about the Sheriff recruitment process, program policies, regulations and procedures.
  • Acts as the OPS contact for facilities and equipment issues (e.g. furniture, photocopiers, computers) and ensures problem resolution.
  • Monitors inventory, purchases office supplies and materials and recommends the purchase and/or repair of furniture and equipment required by the office.
  • Monitors and supports timely Time and Leave Management completion and advises the Superintendent and/or delegate when action is required.
  • Process invoices for uniforms and equipment and training facility rentals, including coding and checking for accuracy and completeness.
  • Exercises spending authority using the corporate purchasing card with a limit of $7,500, verifies invoices and reconciles statements for payment.
  • Completes business expense approval forms for meeting costs.
  • Provides administrative support in the recruitment and selection process by creating and maintaining competition files, preparing documents related to the competition process, verifying candidate eligibility, sorting resumes for shortlisting and scheduling testing and interviews.
  • Makes travel arrangements and completes all related travel authorizations and expense reimbursements on behalf of the Superintendent.
  • Processes various human resources (HR) requests (such as recruitment), by tracking and supporting related processes, etc. (e.g. maintain a checklist of steps, ensuring appropriate documentation is prepared, proactively ensure steps are in place for efficient transition).
  • Schedules meetings, makes necessary arrangements (e.g., meeting dates and locations, required equipment, and catering), prepares agendas with pertinent background information, tracks action items and takes and distributes minutes on behalf of the Superintendent OPS.
I would appreciate if you can help me with choosing the correct NOC for my job.

Thanks :)

LMIA is not compulsory. If your job is exempt from LMIA, then you don't need one. But job offer must be there. How long is the job duration?
I also haven't came across something like this.
Hi @mdilushi @TanakaM

The job offer is fulltime. No specific end date but safe to say, more than a year. Basically, the job they'll offer me is the same job role I am doing now in my home country.

Is there an email address or web form inquiry specific for EE questions that I could use to ask CIC?

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Yes, that can count toward your points when calculating if you have the minimum 67 points for FSW
Hi Yam
i have created EE profile and i got invitation to apply but my work experience is 11 months.
My question is that can i work one more month to complete 1 year work experience and then after will apply under the same invitation because we have 60 days(2 months) to submit the application or do i have to have 1 year work experience complete at the time of invitation?

Any answer would be highly appreciated.

Hi all,

How much of our roles and responsibilities should match match with that of NOC? In my case, it is almost 50 percent. Is that fine?

Dear All, I am ready to submit my EE application with a estimated CRS of 445. My question may be quite polarizing but.... I tend to do all by myself and do not hire a consultant. Could you please let me know your thoughts about it? Tks

That's the whole point of this forum. Many people in this forum apply by themselves and a majority of them are successful.

I am currently in canada on a work permit and will complete 1 year in canada by Feb 2019 and hoping that I will get ITA under canadian experience class for express entry. The problem is my passport expires on Jan 2020 and not sure if I should renew it before submitting the profile? Is it required to have 6 months validity on passport while submitting the passport for pr visa stamping?

Hi all,

My company did not mention the annual salary in the reference letter. Can I submit the salary slip along with the letter?
