If it is a part time work and you didn't do it when you were a full time student, you can apply for the visa. Plus the word experience should be equivalent to the 1 year full time work i.e. 1560 hours.

So if you fall under these norms, then all the best.

No, I did the paid 8 months training to get a license to becomw a full fledge engineer after receiving my post graduation certificate .

It was like 4 months training -1.5 months gap-4 months

Also ,I have 2.9 years of fulltime continous experience as licenced engineer.

You can claim it.

Why was there a gap?

I have created a profile with 2.9 years of continuous experience from April 2016- Jan 2019 and have a crs score 440.

The training period was in two phases- Training rank is also mentioned in the same NOC illustrative examples.

4 months (Paid Training allowance as wages)

June 2014 - October 2014

1.5 months -unpaid

4 months 27 days (Paid Training Allowances as wage )

December 2014 - May 2015

If this Period can be considered ,it will fetch me 25 points more

Hello folks,

Need your help in making some decisions regarding my application.

I have got my IELTS score and awaiting WES evaluation report by 24th April 2019. I will be creating my EE profile immediately post that - I am expecting a score in the range of 456-463 based on how WES evaluates my 2yr PGDM (MBA equivalent).

1. Based on past cutoff score for ITA, is it reasonable to assume that i will get an ITA in May 2019?
2. Assuming i apply in Jun 2019, by when can I expect the COPR. Is it fair to assume that I will get it by September 2019?
3. I plan to quit my job once i receive the ITA. my notice period is 3 months so will leave the job in July 2019. After July I plan to take some time off and pursue some personal interests till i receive the COPR. Do you think this will impact my prospects of finding a job in Canada after I land there? Is there any other impact of quitting the job (other than the obvious financial impact )

Views/Suggestions most welcome. Thanks.

Hello,Please help me.
While filling the education history part of the EE profile I included a certificate obtained from a postgraduate program that is referred to in my country as a Maitrise (typically a Masters 1 or first year masters certificate). I described it as a masters in my EE profile but I also indicated that the WES evaluation I have, shows that it is rather equivalent to a 4 year bachelor degree programme; with the understanding that my points for educational history will rather be calculated based on the evaluation made by WES and not based on my own presentation of my educational history.

Now I have an ITA and I'm worried that the points that were allocated to me before I was given the ITA were based on my own representation of the certificate and not on the results of the ECA from WES because, while filling the ITA forms I realised that the certificate is portrayed as a 'Masters or professional certificate for a licensed profession'. Should I change it and put what my ECA says? If so, will it be seen as misrepresentation? Will I lose points for that?

I also will like to know if there are specific types of banks that are to be used for the bank statement and proof of funds. My bank account is in a small Credit Union which has only 4 branches nationwide. Will that be seen as suspicious? Or should I create a new account in a reputable bank and transfer my funds to the new account?

Please help.

Hi people, If you indicate that your spouse is not coming to canada with you in EE application, can your dependent children come with you?

Hi guys! Need some help wrt police certificates for a friend. He has lived his whole life in Pakistan except 2 years back when he went to Malaysia for 4 months to do a short certification.

Now, should he just submit one police certificate from birth to date from pakistan? Or should he get two certificates, one from birth till when he went to malaysia and another since he returned from malaysia to date? Will it be ok to skip 4 months in between and give explanation in loe?

P.s. IRCC only requires police certificate if you have stayed somewhere for 6 months. Also malaysia doesn't issue police certificate if somebody has stayed there for less than a year.

Please help!

He will need just one PCC from Pakistan. If his stay in Malaysia would've been more than 6 months, then he might have required PCC from Malaysia as well.

1. Try for IELTS 8. different skills different score. Refer CRS score calculator. You are eligible as you have work experience and education. The concern is you need to get enough points for EE.
2. No. Work experience can be before Master within last 10 years
3.Depends. 440 would be good. Hope a low mark in May
4.What does this meant?
5.No. If you are fluent in French, you will have additional marks. It will be good when you land in Canada

Thanks a lot
Cause I live in a country that people don’t speak English,I think ielts 8 is gonna be abit difficult for me.
1.You said I have the points you mean without starting my master degree??
2.Hou much does ielts 8 have?what about 7?
Thank you

My last employer doesn’t give me my job records.I mean a paper that shows I worked for her. What should I do?
I have my account details print and a paper from the insurance that she paid for me during the years I worked for her.(It is common in my country)
Are these enough?
Thanks for all of your helps

What document do we need to upload post ITA for education?
I did research and understood that we need to upload WES report, IELTS and Degree certificate.

Can experts advise if need to also include marksheets? If yes then, advise if to upload all years marksheets or only final year marksheets?

Will appreciate response from experience members.

Transcripts are advisable yes, but i dont think they are mandatory. It says on cic website that the transcripts are required if available
