EXPRESS ENTRY UPDATE!!!

The first draw has just taken place and against prediction, the required score point under CRS is 886!

A total of 779 applicants have been sent ITA.

The import of this is,applicants without Enhanced nomination (Provincial Nomination) and Job offers are not part of the first draw.

It is getting tighter with immigration in Canada but more nomination is expected in another 2 to 3 weeks,hoping that this will include applicants without provincial nomination and/or Job offer.

It's not over until it's over!

Oga Solomonwis, Thanks so much for the update. What is the probability of the fact that next draws will include applicants without provincial nominations/ job offer? Is there any issue or problem with applying for provincial nomination when one is already in the pool? I asked this question earlier, but I did not get any response. Please can one apply for NSPNP while in the pool? I have been accepted into the pool with a score of 365, but I am trying to see if I can apply for the NSPNP as well. Your response to this will be valued and appreciated.

First,what is your overall Score on EE?

The way the additional 600 points from provincial nomination work is,some provinces will select applicants directly from the pool and request the selected applicants to send in application by way of acceptance of the selection to the province. Some other provinces will request that applicants apply directly to them before they can be selected and a condition precedent to this is for such applicants to have an offer of employment from the province.

As it is now,it appears what is clear (for now) is that applicants who choose a particular province will be selected from the pool if and when they meet certain criteria (on the basis of age,language ability,length of foreign/Canadian work experience,overall score on EE,etc)to be established by the province of choice.

It has been hinted that the first few draws will not take cognizance of the additional 600 points. Hence,you need not worry much about the 600 additional points at this stage - Between January 2015 and half way through to February 2015.

If however you are looking beyond the first few draws you have to present your EOI on EE as attractive as possible and another key is to select "All Provinces and Territories" when you are looking at improving your chance of being selected by ALL the provinces and territories as your details will be made available to all the PT (Provinces and Territories) for possibility of selection for additional 600 points. For a fact,before the PT decide to select you from the pool for the award of an additional 600 points,they would want a commitment from you that you will not "abscond" from the PT when you eventually secure a Permanent Residence in Canada.

From the foregoing,it is apparent that :

1. You have to be convinced of your province of destination.

2. You are morally obliged to reside in the PT after selection and eventual issuance of PR.

3. The first few draws will not take cognizance of the additional 600 points.

4. You can make your profile on EE available to ALL PT for possibility of selection and possibility of securing an additional 600 points.

5. You can make your profile available to few PT (by selecting your desired province on EE).

The existing provincial nominee program (PNP) for applicants without (and with) jobs in Canada ( which is called base nominations) is different from the PNP for Express Entry purpose (referred to as enhanced nominations).

What appears to be on-going now for most provinces and territories (PT) is the base nomination,with some provinces such as Saskatchewan reaching the quota for "Without Job offer" are of the base nomination for the year 2015.

Oga Solomonwise, I must commend you for the good job you are doing to assist people here. I just submitted my EOI on the Express Entry and my score is 365. I don't have nominations from any province. Do you advise that I go ahead and send in my application for the Nova Scotia Nominee programme? Please note also that I selected all the provinces in the EOI as province of interest.
Your candid advise will be appreciated.

Had about 60 percent in my account for about 4 months and submitted a copy of my fixed deposit certificate to balance it up. NSNP didnt mandate the 3 month statement thing but its always just better. Would forward the settlement sample to you...also got it online and just used it as a guide. Just write it in your own words and express yourself freely.

Thank you.

@ johnsontade pls, I need the specimen of the settlement plan as well, I also want to ask how long you kept cash in your account before printing your statement. Please you can contact me on yeyeobaww@gmail.com. thank you

Thanks for your response and advise, please how long do I need to keep money in my account before printing out the statement for NovaScotia Nominees application.

Thank you.

Good day all, I have been following this trend and I must confess that the tips here are very useful. I am at the point of applying for the NSPN programme. Please I need clarification, am I suppose to print out the forms and fill with a pen? Also, am I suppose to attach my statement of account right away as I am submitting my package?

Please I need advise from people who have submitted their Nova Scotia application successfully.
