Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Stanlee]

Hi all,

I have some questions:

1. I have worked for two companies in the same time. One as a full time and the other as part time. In my application before the ITA, I wrote only the full time one as it is the one that i will get points for; however, in my application for the trv (Canadian visa) last year I wrote both. Should I include the part time one in the personal history only. Also, I wrote at the trv that both are full time. Is that a problem to write it as part time in the personal history

2. I am living on the border of the US. I went there three or four times for short visits maximum 1 day. Should I include that in the travel history?

3. Can I change in the answers of the part before the checklist after submitting it?

4. what are the documents that I need for the medical examination? I already received ITA

5. Can I write exactly the same words for the duties of my NOC in the employment letter?

Hello Everyone
As per the new updated CRS calculator, there is a question stating:

In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have?
It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B).

I am really confused as it doesn't say if its only foreign experience or as in total work experience(inside Canada+foreign exp)

Earlier it used to be foreign work experience question.

Greetings, need some of your expert advise. Cousin of mine completed the following steps and on the step 5. He is stuck with some further questions...


1) Determined his eligibility by doing this CIC quiz

2) He has CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)

3) Got his qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment.

4) Determined the code 2263 that best applies to him on the(NOC) list. NOC 2263 (Inspectors in public and environmental health and occupational health and safety)

5) Created his express entry profile and registered for the job bank.

I know a friend of mine who can offer my cousin a job offer/letter in his company but no clue if that falls under LMIA excemption code or not. My friends company is legit and he has 7 employees in total working for him. All I know that the offer will be legit as he will get cheap labor, but I'm pretty sure my friend won't go through any hassle of applying LMIA.

Is that all my cousin reuqired the 'offer letter' to get some extra point by having the job offer or letter?

He must have an LMIA to get the additional points.
Getting "cheap labour" isn't an option in this. In order for a job offer to be legit, it must pay the average wage for that position in the area.
So if the average wage for someone in 2263 in that province is $40/hr (for example), and your friend is offering your cousin $20/hr, it's not a legit job offer.

For the e-APR, only children need to submit BCs. BCs are not required for Primary Applicant and the spouse. If you are going for a provincial nominee program and if they request you to submit your BC, then you can submit an affidavit signed by a competent authority mentioning that you do not have a BC.

Just for an example, if he wants to pay my cousin the average wage for 2263 which is $40 (for example) - should the offer letter is good enough? Or my friend has to go through LMIA application ?

He is not going to get ANY CRS points for a non-LMIA job unless that job involves in issuance of a job offer/work permit under the NAFTA agreement OR as a part of a Intra-Company Transfer OR it is deemed as job that is of "significant benefit to Canada" OR the offer is because of a Federal-Provincial Trade agreement.

You can take a look at the changes that have come into effect -

Dear all,

I'm a new member here and in process of preparing for EE. I'd like to ask about the "Continuous working experience" requirement. I've worked for 2 companies with the same NOC: one from 25/7/2015 to 31/12/2015, another one from 5/1/2016 till now. Does anyone know if it will be counted as 1 year continuous work experience?

Thanks in advance.

How easy is to get a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) for a small company?
