Hi, I'm looking for ways to increase my CRS point. I have a bachelors degree and now I'm going to achieve a 6 month diploma in my country. I want to know if I can get the point for below Item: Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years
Hi,
You can increase your CRS by gaining more work experience in the skilled jobs. As far as your 6 month diploma is considered, it must be validated by WES or any other Canadian organization that performs the Educational Credential Assessment and is approved by CIC. If both your diplomas are validated and the same is reflected in your ECA report, you can claim points for two diplomas.
You can also improve your IELTS GT scores. Aim for CLB 9 at least, which is equivalent to 8 7 7 7, in L R W S respectively, in IELTS.
Thanx a lot dear your guidence is really appreciatable and helpfull.
I have one more issue to ask i am a college lecture since 2012 and my college (named heritage international college) is affiliated with university of South Asia which is a private university and HEC have any rule according to which any private university can't grant affiliations before completing its 10 years. Due to this HEC include all colleges affiliated with university of South Asia in list of unrecognised institutions while the college is providing its services from 6 to 7 years whitout any obstacle and also get an recent affiliation from Government university.
I have arranged offer letter, appointment letter, experience certificate and salary slips from my employer and all are verifiable from my employer and college but i m a bit confused about my work experience that does it acceptable or it creates any problems.
Kindly guide me accordingly
Regards
The most important thing is to have a reference letter which shows the duties and responsibilities that you have held.
You must do everything in your power to get this as the other documents are just supporting documents.
Huh? 480+? Oh dear...Where did those predictions come from? The CRS cut-off for the last draw was 438, and the CRS cut-offs for draws have been hovering between 413 and 449 for the last few months...
Yes, you can. Everything is submitted online. Well you will basically be helping with the process that's all. Otherwise, it will be as if he is applying on his own.

Hi,
I have a question regarding LMIA. I have an open work permit and I have been working for more than 1 year in a job with skill level B. I wonder if I am exempt from LMIA? according to CIC website my job is exempt from LMIA if I am already working for my current employer with a work permit based on that LMIA.
But my work permit is not based on LMIA since it is an open work permit.

Unfortunately based on the (limited) information you have provided, I don't think your job is exempt from LMIA, and you won't be able to claim your current job as a VALID offer of employment, for purposes of gaining more CRS points... I could be wrong though - maybe there's other information about your job that you didn't tell us - see below:
Offer of employment: skilled immigrants (Express Entry)
If you have a job offer (offer of arranged employment), you need to update your Express Entry profile in your account with the :
start date
employer name and address
Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) number (if you have one)
not be from an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada
set out details of the job they’re offering you, such as:
your pay and deductions
your job duties
conditions of employment, like your hours of work
A work permit on its own is not a job offer, even if it is an open work permit.
Your job offer must also meet other criteria to be valid under the Express Entry program you qualify for below. Federal Skilled Workers and Canadian Experience Class
A valid job offer has to be:
made by one employer
continuous
paid
full-time (at least 30 hours a week)
for at least one year after we issue your permanent resident visa
not seasonal
not on a contract basis
in a job that is NOC:
Skill Type 0 or
Skill Levels A or B
It also must be made :
by an employer with a new positive LMIA that approves the offer and names you and your position OR
if you’re currently working in Canada in a NOC 0, A or B job on a work permit that was issued based on an LMIA, and:
you’re working for an employer listed on your work permit
you’re authorized to work in Canada on the day you apply for a permanent resident visa, and when the visa is issued
your current employer made you an offer to give you a full-time job for at least one year if you’re accepted as a permanent resident OR
LMIA-exempt job offers – Skilled immigrants (Express Entry)
In most cases, your employer needs a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to support your job offer. Some jobs are exempt from needing an LMIA.
For Express Entry, your employer doesn’t need an LMIA if you:
have been working full-time for the employer on your work permit for at least one year (or an equal amount of part-time work)
have a valid work permit that is exempt from an LMIA under
an international agreement
a federal-provincial agreement or
the “Canadian interests” category
Note: For skilled trade jobs, up to two employers can make a job offer. You must work for both those employers.
Jobs exempt from the LMIA
You may be exempt from needing an LMIA for Express Entry if your current temporary job is LMIA-exempt, states a specific employer or employers (for skilled trade jobs, up to two employers can make a job offer), and is:
covered by an international agreement like NAFTA or GATS, and non-trade agreements. This can include professionals, traders and investors.
covered by an agreement between Canada and a province or territory. This includes “significant investment” projects.
exempt for “Canadian interests” reasons:
“significant benefit” – if your employer can prove you will bring an important social, cultural, and/or economic benefit to Canada. This can include:
general: Self-employed engineers, technical workers, creative and performing artists, etc.
workers transferred within a company (intra-company transferees with specialized knowledge) – only those that will benefit Canada with their skills and experience
workers under Mobilité francophone
reciprocal employment – lets foreign workers get jobs in Canada when Canadians have similar opportunities in other countries
general (such as professional coaches and athletes working for Canadian teams)
International Experience Canada – a work abroad program for youth and young professionals
people in exchange programs like professors and visiting lecturers
designated by the Minister
academics, including researchers, guest lecturers and visiting professors (sponsored through a recognized federal program)
competitiveness and public policy
medical residents and fellows
post-doctoral fellows and people who have won academic awards from Canadian schools
Charity and religious work (not including volunteers)
These categories can be exempt only if you also meet the criteria in the first section of this page.
Note: jobs that are exempt from needing an LMIA still need a work permit.

"The following documents are mandatoryfor each work experience declared:
a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; "
Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and would really like your help on the experience letter for FSW express entry.
Can anyone pls tell me wether we have to elaborate on the job duties mentioned in the NOC code. Or does the experience letter have to be quite similar to the NOC list.
I ask this as I think if one tries to elaborate too much on the job duties than there is a risk of deviating from what the VO would like to see in job duties.

You are right, it's best to stay as close as possible to the descriptions in the NOC with out copying and pasting. Elaborate but do not drift away from the words used in the NOC.
