Hello House
I am updating my IM0008ENU_2D Application form in other to add my new baby. Under my dependant information on the UCI box, do i still qoute my UCI ?
Yes certainly quote your UCI. I did same when I added my child to it. It simply shows that your form isn't a new application because you have already been given a unique identifier number.

hi, please does WES accept online submission of transcript? because that is what my school UNICAL is saying. pls help oh

That might not be totally impossible, you just may need to contact wes and find out from them if they wouldn't mind such. Those days of tuition free schools in Sweden, one of the mode of by which they accept your transcript is if they can view it online which makes things faster, and eliminates the need for verification and postage. I feel WES might not be aversed to it but try and find out

I am a Marine Engineer and will like to apply for the Canadian Skilled worker scheme but I don't know if it is among the work skills required.

Go ahead and apply(assuming you have your IELTS and ECA), there's no list of occupation they want people for this time around

Its pertinent everyone who is applying knows that you are first ranked on a scale of 100 for FSWP. The 100 is divided between six selection factors like English test, age, experience, education, adaptability and arranged employment in Canada. You must get a minimum score of 67/100 before you can qualify at all to enter express entry. Out of the maximum score of 24 you can get for English test, your score is 18, though your result falls in the required CLB 7, its not sufficient in your case. Also, if you are going to be above 35 this year, your points for age will also drop out of the maximum 12 you can get. Finally, if you quoted less than 18,210CDN as your available funds, you wont be eligible. In all, you MUST!!!!!! re-write IELTS and ENSURE!!!!!!!!!!!! you score not less than 7.5 in listening, and not less than 7 in the remaining segments if you are still interested. You can google 'six selection factors - federal skilled workers', study that page and you will be able to calculate your score by yourself

Is this on Express Entry or the old FSWP? You need to make clear this clarification so you don't keep making the same mistake and spreading this all over.

This appears to be the grid with which FSWP used to be calculated. The EE is completely a different ball game. The calculation is based on CRS. For your information, there's no minimum score (or pass mark which used to be 67/100 under FSWP) under EE. You might want to read this up for details http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

It's not a mistake, the point grid still stands, it's like an initial assessment that filters applicants before they can enter the EE pool and crs score can then be applied to their details. You can check cic website to confirm - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Listen buddie, leave the job of the CIC agents for CIC agents.

You might want to refer to the below:

If you meet all the conditions set out in the minimum requirements, we will assess your application based on the selection factors in the federal skilled worker points grid

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp

That you score 67/100 is not a guarantee of "initial selection or filter into the pool".

Let me break it down for you to understand.

Age (and this is just one out of many) - It is a completely different ball game calculating age under the old FSWP using the grid and the CRS. I maintain you don't give a false hope.

Using the grid might give an impression you will automatically enter the pool and "be selected" once you get the 67/100 pass mark. This is entirely false based on EE. Using the CRS calculator will give you your real stance under EE.

Once you keep preaching the 67/100 grid, you start limiting people's ability to enter the pool as both are completely different.
There is no pass mark under EE (so preaching 67/100 will give this impression). Allow CIC agents use the grid (if you like) and encourage people to calculate or determine their stance using the CRS calculator here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp
That more or less takes them directly to have the true reflection of their stance.

You can score 67/100 (creating an impression that you have a "pass mark"wink yet score as low as 285 which is extremely low under CRS.
Remember, again under EE there's no pass mark. Once you have that at the back of your mind, you stop being a champion and go to sleep. You'd rather find all ways possible to be atop the rank using CRS thereby improving your chance for an ITA.

Again, using the grid does not in any way factor in the points you get if and when you secure a qualifying employment or a provincial/territorial nomination.

Another angle you also have to look at is, the essence is not to have a "pass mark" or to "just be in the pool" but to be selected for a possible ITA. Hence, the point grid is useless when you don't get selected eventually. What guarantees your eventual selection for a possible ITA is your ranking in the CRS. So, why not go all out for CRS instead of looking for "pass mark" which is non-existent (under EE) anyways? It is extremely possible to be very high in rank under CRS and get selected but having 67/100 minimum pass (or even higher than 67/100) mark only guarantees (or so it seems) your being in the pool but does not guarantee your possible selection for ITA.

Lastly, that you are in the pool using the 67/100 grid does not in any way say much about your application. You might be in the pool, maybe at the bottom and remain there for as long as you keep having the "Afterall I have the 67/100 pass mark" at the back of your mind and if you don't get selected after a period of time, you will be automatically out of the pool.

It makes no much sense therefore to keep preaching the 67/100 pass mark grid. Leave it for the CIC agent to work with. In reality, it makes no sense (to prospective applicants) and it create a false impression.

You will succeed in making an impression that once you can scale the 67/100 as it used to be under FSW, you are automatically "qualified" under EE. This is completely false.

Lol......Except you are saying those making enquiries here can't think on their own, I don't see how anyone will conclude that eligibility will automatically mean selection(even that is stated on cic website). He asked a question about eligibility, not high crs score and chances of getting ITA, and that is what I addressed. CRS calculations only matter when you have entered the pool, fswp grid points matter if you must enter the pool(which he's yet to enter).

EE is just a new way of facilitating application to the existing Federal programmes, it doesn't take away the requirements for those programmes.

You should send a CSE via this link https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=accra with a scanned copy of the passport bio data page. Endeavour to include the reason for having a new passport ("The old one has no empty/vacant space).
