Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[ReenaThakur]

Hey Guys,

The city of destination in my CoPR says Toronto. However, I plan to land in Vancouver (as port of entry) directly from India.

Is it okay or I have to have to land in Toronto?

Thank you
Reena

For FSW and CEC - You can land in any province except Quebec (it doesn't matter what your COPR says)

Cheers

Hello Friends,
Just wanted to get some information... I am planning to apply for Express Entry with the help of all of you... For the first step, as i understand, i need to do IELTS, minimum 6.5 points in each band.

My question is do i need to get my ECA done before i submit my application, or can it be done while my application is under process??

Thanks....

If you want to apply under FSW and you do not have a Canadian degree, you must get an ECA for your degree. Otherwise your profile will be ineligible.

You can use the following links to understand and create your Express Entry profile.

• Check Eligibility - http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp
• CRS Score Calculator - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
• Express Entry FAQs - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/questions-answers-by-topic.asp?top=29
• Creating an Express Entry Profile - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp

You need to get ECA (in case of non Canadian degree) and IELTS done. IELTS has a major role in boosting your CRS score. Use the calculator to see the impact that higher IELTS can have on your CRS score.

In addition to the CRS score, CIC assesses federal skilled worker (FSW) applications based on six selection factors.

If you score 67 points or higher (out of 100), you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker.

If you score lower than the pass mark of 67 points, the applicant will not qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker and the Express Entry profile would be ineligible

So that means i should get ECA for my degree before i apply??? Also advise, i have a Diploma of Associate Engineering from Pakistan which is a 3 years program. Does it go under " Bachelors Degree or a 3 years program at a university, college, trade or technical school"??

Yes, you need an ECA report. We cannot tell you what the equivalency of the degree will be. That is decided by the ECA issuing organization.

Hello everyone, my friend has an LMIA ( CLOSED WORK PERMIT) he submitted his file under express entry.. Now the question is can he apply for an open work permit based on his application under express entry ? many of my friends told me if you have closed work permit and if you have applied for permanent residency you are eligible to get open work permit ? Or he cannot work another place unless and untill he gets his permanant residency ? just wanted to clear my doubt ? if you have any answer i would really appreciate it.. Thank you
