Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[kamy]

Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

HELLO FOLKS,

PLEASE I WOULD LIKE TO CONFIRM IF ITS NECESSARY TO EVALUATE MY BACHELORS AND MASTERS DEGREES FROM WES OR I SHOULD JUST EVALUATE MY MASTERS DEGREE WHICH IS MY HIGHEST LEVEL OF EDUCATION PRIOR TO APPLYING FOR EXPRESS ENTRY.

PLEASE YOUR INPUT WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

You need to get the highest level education evaluated for claiming points. However, assessing authority decides based on your country which documents to provide, e.g., For India you have to provide Bachelor's transcripts as well for Master's evaluation. For some of the countries like Pakistan, they ask school certificate as well, you have to check the assessing authority site like WES....
If you provide additional degrees/certificate as part of document requirement mentioned above, they also get evaluated automatically.

Hi Guys,

Need your help urgently, I got my WES ECA report and my ECA report for Master degree says " Canadian Equivalency: Master's Degree from a non-recognized institution".

I am creating my express entry profile and it ask "Have you done your ECA ?": select "Yes" and mention ECA detail and select Canadian Equivalency "Master's Degree"

Is that correct , Can i select Master degree for Canadian equivalency or what should i select? Please share you input


Thank You

Hi experts,
Proof of funds question. Regarding avg. balance for past 6 months, is it ok to have one value specifying avg. balance of past six months? Or, does it have to be show on month to month basis for past 6 months? E.g.
Month 1 = xxx
Month 2 = yyy
And so on...

Balance month to month for the past 6 months.

Cheers

Either way is fine - All IRCC wants to see is that the funds have been maintained and there is no too much variation.

Need help in understanding the gcms notes little better

Is it safe to get gcms notes through so many sites shared on this forum. They can have all of your personal information and misuse it, only reason I'm thinking on these lines is there is hardly any information on who is running these sites and how much trustworthy they are. I know thousands of people request gcms notes but wanted to understand how people think about misuse of personal information available with them.

You have 2 options.

If you have somebody in Canada who is a citizen or a Permanent Resident, you can apply through them.

Otherwise, you have to go through one of these agencies. So many people are requesting notes and I haven't seen a case where any "reputable" agency has misused the information.

Please upload the IELTS and the ECA report in the Education History section. There is no separate placeholder for these documents.

 

[vaibhav007us]

If I use my WES ECA report number and create a EE profile and subsequently, I get my report upgraded for a new qualification, ca I:

1. Keep using the old ECA report number till my report gets upgraded;

2. Once the report gets upgraded, can I modify my educational history in the EE profile.

Thanks for the suggestions on the above questions in advance.

I have worked for two years after graduating from my BSc, outside Canada. After that, I started studying as MSc and then PhD and have now worked for a bit more than one year after my PhD graduation, again outside Canada. Both of the jobs have been in the same field (same NOC) but are not the same job position of course. Can I count all the three years that I have worked, although there has been a break for studying?
According to what I read on CIC webiste they ask for the following requirements on work experience:
"Skilled work experience:
Your work experience must be:
•at least one year (1,560 hours total / 30 hours per week), continuous full-time or an equal amount in part-time,
•paid work (volunteer work, unpaid internships do not count),
•in the same job,
•within the last 10 years, and
•at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 National Occupational Classification (NOC)."

They mention that it should be continuous and in the same job. I can't fully understand this.
- does it have to be continuous for at least one year, or this applies to the whole work experience?
- what is meant exactly by in the same job? Does it mean the same position or the same type of work/NOC?
I would very much appreciate it if anyone could help with this!

Only 1 year must be continuous and in the same job.

Hello All!

If I am looking only at PNPs, do I need to get ECA done for spouse? I mean now since I am not in open pool,10 additional points really do not help much!
