Hi All,

Can anybody confirm whether my master degree has been approved or not, below is what my assessment report says :

Comparative levels of achievement in Canada

The combination of Bachelor of arts degree and Master of Business Administration degree generally compares to the completion of:

a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree with a focus in general arts and

a Master of Business administration degree with a focus in operations management.

Also, In CRS calculator which option i'm allowed to select to calculate the score. Two or more certificates? Or Masters degree?

Hello friends
Hope all is well in here. I have a situation that I would love to get some ideas on how to go about.
I came to Canada on LMIA exempt work permit in September 2017. I am Group Home Worker and my NOC is 4212. In June 2019, I created a express entry and obtained 495 points. I was invited to apply and submitted the application in August 2019. Recently I got a refusal letter from the officer stating the reason of refusal that he/she was not satisfied that I had the Canadian Work experience I claimed in my profile “did not demonstrate that you acquired one year of qualifying Canadian work experience”. I wonder what that means because with my application I submitted;
1. Both work permits, the initial one and extended one
2. Both initial and second contracts.
3. A letter from employer of which same was used to apply for work permit extension.

Did I miss something there that could have been important to reverse the decision?

I will appreciate your help

Hey,
From what I have gathered from you, I did notice a point that might bring some confusion. NOC 4212 refers to Social Workers rather than just anyone employed in a Group Home. If you do possess a Bachelor Degree in Social Work or other equivalent degrees or diplomas, then you qualify under this class. If however you work as a caregiver in the group home, any work experience submitted under this class will be found to be insufficient and will lead to a rejection. Please recheck your educational background to see what degrees you may have, and which class or NOC they best fit under.
I do wish you the best in your process.

Hi,

I know question related to PCC and Medical may have been asked several times, however, I would really appreciate if someone can clear my doubts.

I stay in USA and my husband is a primary applicant. From past 3 weeks he is on a business tour in India. Before he left USA, we got the PCC clearance certificate from Indian Consulate and fingerprinting sent to FBI, received the clearance certificate within an hour. Now my doubts are:

1) For Police Certificate in USA : Can the same FBI electronic letter( pdf copy) in black and white ink be uploaded in the PR application?
Somewhere, I read PCC should be scanned in color.

2) For Medical Exam : Can he give his medical exam in India instead of USA ? He wont be coming to US for 2 more weeks and our application submission deadline is nearing.

Any leads on the above question is highly appreciated.

Hi,
Congratulations on the steps you have already taken. With regards to your first question, you can send the FBI copy to IRCC. You do not need to print it, just upload it with your other documents. It comes in black and white already, there's no color copy. With regards to your second question, he can get his medical done there, as long as the doctor is approved by IRCC and has eMedical availability. There's no need to wait until he returns and risk not meeting the deadline, as they do not give you extra time to submit the profile.

Hi Obrahu,
Yes, your degrees have both been approved. It confused me at first when I got mine five years ago. I was able to use it for my PR application.

Can you help me ? While trying to pay and submit the application, my page ran out of time and I was logged out, now I cannot see anything on my application. I haven't paid the fees, neither can I see "continue application". What happened, I don't understand anything!!!

Can someone let me know what can be done next ??

Thanks,

Hello Neha,

I don't feel a new PCC is required just because you traveled to India in January. If I am not mistaken an Indian PCC is valid for 6 months (please confirm online). As long as it's not expired, you should be good. You can check the below thread as well. Since you were in India for less than 6 months when you traveled, new Indian PCC isn't required.

Best Wishes,

Hi,

This is related to Job role and responsibility :

Please let me know, does an applicant get ADR because the employment offer letter doesn't have job roles and responsibilities ? My India experience letter doesn't have it and US has it, however, I am claiming points for both employments. Can someone highlight this ? My employer has denied mentioning it and I do not have any clue what to do ? Should I proactively arrange it from my Manager and upload it on web form ?

Thanks,

Hello All,

Enter the highest level of education for which you:

• earned a Canadian degree, diploma or certificate o
• had an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) if you did your study outside Canada. (ECAs must be from an approved agency, in the last five years)

1. I have completed Bachelor Degree in Computer Engineering in India, which is assed by WES & ECA Bachelor degree (4 Years)
2. I have completed Ontario College Diploma (2 years ) in computer system technician in Ontario, Canada.

Which Option I should Select in 4) What is your level of education? => Two or More Cerfitifacte, Diplomas, or Degree.

Thanks In Advance.

Please let me know, does an applicant get ADR because the employment offer letter doesn't have job roles and responsibilities ?

If you're lucky then yes. They can refuse a file if they are not satisfied with job reference letters. Ideally, they would send an ADR but it doesn't seem to happen in all cases.

I am claiming points for both employments

Should I proactively arrange it from my Manager and upload it on web form ?

If you're claiming points then Yes. Do it as soon as possible.

Okay, so my major experience is in US for 3.5 years and 3.5 in India. For US , I have letters as requested by CIC. I am PNP nominated with points above 1000. Will it still matter for me to submit job roles and responsibilities if the VO officer doesn't consider India work ex ?

My spouse also has the same issue!

Thanks

CRS score maxes out at 3 years of experience. I'm not sure if you needed to show 7 years for PNP nomination. If the experience was not relevant to points you could have simply moved it to personal history and it wouldn't have mattered. In this case if India experience may not cause of loss of points so you are probably alright but any deficiency in documentation is likely to put file in Review Required and hence a long(ish) processing time. You should probably order GCMS notes if you are at 4+ month mark from AOR.

You are right, I did a mistake by keeping it under work history. Same happened with my spouse, he has added his work experience under work history for which no points are added.
I have submitted my application last week. However, I am worried on the job R & R now. My ex-employer from India has refused to provide me this letter and now I am unsure how do I write this story in my LOE which I plan to attach in the web form for additional documents.

 

[valensalis]

Can I submit my application to the pool basis my documentation and then later update it when I have the IELTS score for my spouse? Does it allow to modify or update the file?
