Hello All,
Please for those who applied for USA Police Clearance Certificate from outside of the US, when you used the downloadable form online, which official assisted you with the fingerprinting?

I ask because a portion of the FD-258 form requires the Signature of the official taking the fingerprints.

Thank you.

If you have everything ready and you're sure the paralegal NOC is under the eligible codes, I think you can go ahead with it. Getting your permanent residence is paramount now, your work experience can go into personal history for now. Maybe it'll be useful later, but you're going to be going through a whole different process with the bar exams, articling etc if you're going to practice in Canada.

Thank you so much Jenny!
True, with NCA assessment, NCA challenge exams et al. It is well!

When are you submitting your application? I suggest you use the one that would be fairly easy to prove. Which one will you be able to obtain the reference letter in CIC format? In other words, which one will be less of a hassle?

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for replying.

I intended submitting the application right away, but I’m second-guessing myself because my principal occupation now is Lawyer;

and I don’t have 1 year continuous work experience in the field.

Hence my wondering whether to just wait and acquire 1 year continuous work experience in August. And then rather submit my application in August.

For the LOR, all will be fairly easy to obtain in CIC format.

Hello all,

Please I have 1 year work experience as a paralegal (2013-2014)[NOC 4211];

and 10 months as a lawyer (2016-2017)[NOC 4112]; following which i left for school;

I resumed work in August 2018-till present.

Is it possible to just use the work experience as a paralegal for my express entry application;

Or I should just wait till August 2019 and apply solely with 1 year work experience a lawyer?

Thank you.
