Hi Shyee,

Do you know your centre number and Candidate number? If yes, you can easily know your TRF reference no as it is combination of the 2 nos, 3 letters of your surname, first letter of your name, year of exam and the type of your test you wrote.

Please note that I did the same as I wanted to submit my profile on EE on Friday cos I suspected that there will be a draw. When my TRF was delivered on Saturday, the reference no matched what I indicated in my profile. I don't even think my registration would have gone through with a wrong TRF reference no.

Shyee:
Express Entry steps. saw this on a forum, hope it's helpful, please i need 5 likes at least. all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp But...(Please note that this info does not apply tothe Federal Skilled Trades Program)
1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp
2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp
3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment.Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp
4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.
5) When you have those in hand you createyour express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the JobBank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng
You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp
You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp
Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp
For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.
6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:
a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp
b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp
c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp
d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp
e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count. for trades category, to calculate the work hours> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/trades/apply-who.asp
f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.
This question gets asked quite often. i don't just wanna waste page space. thanks.

If ur BSC has been assessed, then why not? What if the points drop considerable to ur score? In my opinion, if u have all required then enter the pool while u continue to improve ur points in one way or the other. Am sure the gurus will tell u more pertaining to updating or getting out of the pool and re-entering..

Thanks berexio1(m). @ Shye, please what is TRF? i have my IELTS result and i assumed it is the 15NG00xxxxBBBB150G
Re: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by dupyshoo: 9:50am On Jul 16, 2015
Hi Garykasparov,

As I earlier said I did not prepare enough for the section. However, from the little experience I had during the preparation and test, I can say preparation and proper planning of time is key. As one will not be given extra marks for writing more words than required, it is better to stay within the word limit given (say, 160 words for letter and about 270 words for essay). Time wasted on writing extra words could be used to edit your essay and correct any mistakes you might have made.

Also, while preparing for the writing section, don't just read the questions and assume you will be able to write it during the actual exam. Put yourself in the exam condition and try to write at least 3 letters and essays before the exam. This will help you to know your weak areas and work on the areas. Also, it will give you a rough idea of how many lines you need to write to make up 150 words and 250 words. So, you won't have to waste precious time counting your words during the exam.

In addition, plan what you want to write before you actually start writing and ensure you answer all the questions. For instance, this was my writing question:

Coins and paper money will soon be replaced by credit and bank cards. Eventually we will have a cashless society which will be safer and more convenient for everyone.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.


You have to support your answers with examples and relevant evidence. Do not forget that.

Imagine I googled my question now and realised they have asked this question before. This is to show that they repeat questions. So, one can't go wrong by practising.

Finally, I used pencil to write so it was easy for me to erase and correct my write-up. This is dependent on your level of preparation though. I did not do all these things but I was fortunate to get 7.5. However, in hindsight, I would have prepared better for it.

Wow!!! I have written too many words again smiley grin

Hi Garykasparov,

I have responded to your email.

Looking at the topic again, I am sure mine was tweaked a bit. I just copied this one word for word from google. Mine said "Is it a negative or positive development?"

I can't remember precisely how many paragraphs I wrote. I think I wrote about 3-4 paragraphs excluding the 2 you mentioned. I was rushing so I did not even have the time to go through my write-up.

I think I used the 1st for the introduction, where I supported payment by cards. I supported my opinion with reasons in the next 3 paragraphs. I gave some disadvantages/shortcomings of cards in the 5th paragraph and I concluded with the 6th paragraph.

I believe this no of paragraphs are just too many. That was why I had too many words. I wanted to write everything I could think of. I would have preferred a shorter and better structured write-up.

I hope this answers your question.

I just received a mail from wes that photocopies of my documents have been sent to my school for verification.Does anyone on this forum know how long it will take. I.e. transit time before it will get to Nigeria. I assume it was posted via regular Canadian postal service.I need this information so as to follow up with my school.Timely response will be appreciated.
Re: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by dupyshoo: 11:48am On Jul 16, 2015
Then it will be difficult for you to determine your TRF reference No.

The Centre Nos that I saw online are the ones for Abuja and Lagos. You might have to wait for the TRF then or you could try to find out from people who will be writing in your location soon.
