okay. Thank you.I saw that on their requirements before applying. So if i get it right,you are saying i should go ahead and apply for the PNP, and work towards a "letter of no objection". And i have no work experience in canada.

candykenni:
'letter of no objection'.... please who asked you to register and obtain a letter of no objection. How long have you being practising mechanical engineering and are you currently located in Canada?

I know someone that AINP contacted to obtain a letter of no objection from APEGA to qualify in 2012 and he eventually landed due to this info. Answering questions above will assist in guiding you appropriately. APEGA registeration takes a while, depending on schools you will request transcript from and your referees but response to no objection request is very fast. (less than a week)

hello,i wanted to know more about applying to saskachewan province as its amongst my destination of interest. My real issue is that am a mechanical engineer which is a regulated profession and in their site, they stated am to provide proof that i can practice before applying,do i need to do this now or after i have been given a nomination?

bamakoe:
It's from their website http://www.economy.gov.sk.ca/immigration/SINP you create an account and every document is uploaded there

To be candid house i am in a hurry for all these so i get points for my age. By February of 2016,i'll be 30 years and i want to apply to EE by 29yrs. I even have an admission for masters degree in germany for summer semester starting in march/april of 2016,but don't know if to go ahead or wait, continue working till I get an ITA. I need advice. Because the PR will help both my wife and Son.

Good day everyone. I intend applying for pnp in alberta and am a mechanical engineer with noc 2132. Below in the link i'm been asked to register with apega and obtain a no letter of rejection. Is it necessary for me?

Please house what does VDR-Notification from wes mean?

Please how do i check my wes application status to know if my transcript has been received ? Do i make use of the reference number?

Can i enter the pool with this result while i take another test in January and update my profile?

zandora:
Unfortunately you'll need a minimum of 6 in each band in order to qualify for FSWP.

Damn. I just received my ielts result. It's not pretty men. L:7.5,S:6.0,R:6.5,W:5.5. This really dropped my crs score to 308. Can i still go into the pool and hope for provincial nomination? Need the candid advice of the house!

Hello house. I did a quick crs calculation with good ielts scores for both myself and my wife and scored 440,do i have a good chance when i enter the pool? Or are there ways i can improve on this score before i go into the pool?

zandora:
Congrats! That's a good score. I don't think she should retake it unless you have spare funds to burn. I hope you're in the pool because you have a chance of being selected. Goodluck

Okay. Thanks.

If applying in January is that important, then you would have to leverage on all options to get OOU respond to WES ASAP. If it means going there in person to make it happen. Don't under-estimate the power of persuasion and right motivation.

On PNP, I know some of the Provinces are fully integrated into EE, however, am not sure if all are, especially Alberta. You may want to browse through the program online to verify that.

On POF, ideally, the 4.5million should sit in your account for 6 months before your ITA or e-app submission. However, a number of people have leveraged on a number of work-arounds which I personally feel is risky, e.g having your parent transferred the money to your account and supporting such funds with documents to prove it was a gift and not borrowed.

wow!Okay. Thank you. And my wife went to onabisi onabanjo university. In this forum, i have heard people complaining about this school saying it took them about 3 months before they got theirs. Though mine is still yet to come but am working with the stipulated 3 weeks given by wes. I went to FUTA. Also without been in the EE, can i apply for PNP? My sister in law in working in canada told me that sometime in January, Alberta will open its PNP. I was really targeting that time.Also, i didn't get the part of the POF, do i start putting in money gradually and to make up the #4.5 million by the time i've been given an ITA? Thank you.quote author=Doggys post=40210596]Okay. Thank you. Also,i wanted to know cos i was interacting with an agent and he said my wife needed to change her international passport to bear my name and we have our marriage certificate and affidavit. And does she need to do an education evaluation when she's not the principal applicant? Thanks and hope to hear from you. For my own wes evaluation i asked gave my university a copy of my certificate to add to the transcript they sent,don't know if i still need to send a copy directly to wes again?[/quote]

Your son would need a passport.

Start gathering your POF; ideally, you are required to show a 6 month average of the minimum value required for your family size.

I don't think you can use the ref number on Monday to create your EE profile, as you may be required to fill in the date on the ECA document.

Wow! Am so relieved to hear about this change of international passport not been necessary because the agent insisted that if i don't change he can't work with me. I really need to know how i can do all these things myself. I am targeting to be in canada by God's grace June of 2016. I have a 10 months old son,do i need to make his international passport before applying in the EE? Also, at the moment i don't have the whole can $25,000 which i want to declare in one account? Do i start doing that now as i wish to apply in the first week of december for the EE? And can i use the wes reference number if i pay for my wife's ECA on monday?

tola73:
Changing of International passport is not compulsory since you already have your marriage certificate. It is African mentality that your wife must use your name. CIC got no problem with using her former name. Evaluating your wife certificate will obviously give you some points. If your school already included a copy your certificate along with the transcript no need to send another copy

Automotive repairs?? I will like to be your friend o, cuz you will be one of the highest earners when you get there.

Anyway, you dont need to register with any regulatory body till you get there except, if you are going as a trades person and not a graduate.

Please i am a mechanical engineer intending to apply for the federal skilled worker scheme for 2015. I and my wife have written the ielts and are stilll waiting for our result.

Hello all,

I've created this thread for Canadian Express Entry and outstanding FSW 2014 applicants since the previous thread became too long and has now been closed. I've also pasted a PDF link below which details the step by step instructions to apply for the Federal Skilled Workers Program via Express Entry.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4gWGgP8Vy5lSjFoaC01ZUtOaTg/view

In order to apply for Express Entry via FSW you need to first have a minimum of 1 year full time (30 hrs a week) or 2 years part time (15 hrs a week) skilled work experience which falls under NOC code A,B or O. Check for your NOC code below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

Next take your IELTS General test.

Then evaluate your degree or credentials via WES Canada (the best option). See link below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

After doing the above, to find out if you've qualified you need to score a minimum of 67 points out of 100 in the FSW grid. Calculate your score below:

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

Now that you've qualified, you can go ahead and complete your Express Entry profile via the link below:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp

Other things you must have:

Reference letters to verify the work experience you're claiming points for in the specified format below:

Written on company letterhead.

Signed by the responsible officers/supervisor.

Have the printed name and job title of the responsible officer/supervisor beneath the signature.

Show the company’s full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses

Stamped with the company’s official seal (if applicable)

The letter must include 5 things:

Your job title.

The dates of your employment (ideal format: DD/MM/YYYYY).

Your salary per year (or month).

Your average hours per week.

A detailed list of your employment duties.

Next you need to provide police certificates from all the countries you've resided in for 6 months and above since you were 18 years. See link on how to obtain PC from various countries below:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/infORmation/security/police-cert/index.asp

Then you need to provide proof of funds for you and/or your family:

Number of
Family Members Funds Required
(in Canadian dollars)
1 $11,931
2 $14,853
3 $18,260
4 $22,170
5 $25,145
6 $28,359
7 or more $31,574

Note: Birth certificates are no longer required for applicants but are only now required for your child/children.

Wishing you the best of luck !
