Great video, but there was a clever omission of a perplexing question in the Study and Language section: Was more than half the study program English or French as a second language courses?
I did coop as part of my study and that time I was not attending any of the classes. Also, to do this coop, I applied for the 'coop work permit' and got one. So my question is what should I select for the question 'Studying full-time while doing this job? A person must be in class at least 15 hours per week during the academic year to be considered full-time. This includes any period of training in the workplace that is part of the study program.' Yes or No and 'Which of these categories does job fall under?', there is no option for coop work permit.
Hello Sofia, that's a great hands-on video, I have a couple of queries doing that if you don't mind answering 1. I already have a Study Application (SDS) in process, is it better to create the EE profile after the study application approval? 2. I already have my WES evaluation done previously for academic institutions, will that work, or do I need to order a duplicate for IRCC? And when do I order it before or after submitting the express entry profile Should I add OINP as a recipient also? 3. I just have given CELPIP, is there any minimum CLB needed? Thanks in advance!
Hi Archit , Great questions! the express entry profile stays valid for 1 year , so I would recommend to create once u hv completed your studies in Canada or abt to complete your 1 year Canadian work experience If u hv done your Wes already u should be able to download the soft copy from your account on Wes and upload it for express entry , no need to send to ircc or for oinp separately again There is no minimum requirement for Celpip but if the scores are too low u may not get enough points on your CRS score , however judging by your comment , you seem to hv a pretty good command over the language so that sudnt be a problem
I appreciate your content on Express Entry, but there’s a major gap that I, and many others, are struggling with. I only have 1560 hours of continuous student skilled work experience in Canada, which meets the minimum eligibility for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program but doesn’t qualify for points under work experience. I’m trying to create my EE profile to be considered under FSW, not Canadian Experience Class (CEC), but the options are confusing. There’s no clear guidance on how to ensure this experience counts only for minimum eligibility without earning points. It would be super helpful if you could make a detailed video on this topic, as it’s a unique but common issue that’s not being addressed. Thanks!
@@sofiaincanadaHi. My profile doesn't show me the Express Entry application as an option in between Visitor visa and international experience canada (IEC) when u got there. I really don't understand why
Hi, I have a question about creating my Express Entry (EE) profile. I have an employment letter that states I started working in August 2022. However, at that time, I was a student working part-time. In April 2023, I began working full-time since students were allowed to do so, and I received my work permit in July 2023. My question is: For the “From” section in the work experience, should I use the start date (August 2022) or the date I received my work permit (July 2023)? Currently, I have entered the start date, and it’s counting as two years of experience, which has given me extra points. Could you please help me clarify this? Thanks
Hey so your work experience as a student will not count as Canadian work experience, it will start counting from when u applied for your pgwp , it does have to be the approved work permit, the moment u apply , u are on implied status and u. Can count that period too , I did the same as well
@@sofiaincanada Thank you for your reply. ( i applied wp on July 2023) i started working as a part time when i was student Aug 2022 then full time Mar 2023 thenMay 2024 again part time shall i do like this ? I have to put three columns 1. Aug 2022- March 2023 -20hrs 2. Mar 2023-May 2024 -40hrs 3. May 2024-continue but here i only work sometimes like 2-3 shifts a month. How many hrs/week should i ad for this 3rd section ? or should i add only one column from wp applied date to july 2023 to last full time that is may2024 ? Please help
hey, evreything in your video is great. thanks for helping.but the Language test result form or certificate number under study details > IElTS details: its the TRF number on our certificate. You filled in a wrong number. thanks!
Hi thank you for the feedback! Really appreciate it , as this is a dummy application and not a real one I just entered random information and not the actual number
@@sofiaincanadaHi Sanchi same here.... she skipped some questions in this video like 1. was 50% of the education having secondary language french or English? 2. was your course related to get skill and return back to your country to apply,, something like this...
@@herry4702 the answers to both these questions will be no unless ur course was English as a secondary language and required u to go back after completion
Hello Sofia. Thank you for this video! Has resolved many questions for me. I have one concern. In the work history section, I selected my primary NOC code and minimum education required for it is a bachelor degree. However, I completed my bachelor program back home in 2019, but I did a Masters program in Canada finalized in 2022. Which one should I put in my express entry application? Thank you
Hi it doesn’t matter if u completed it in 2019, u must put both your bachelors and masters degree , most probably u won’t need to do Wes for your bachelors as u hv a masters degree now , however still check the WES website to confirm
what should we answer for this question under education section? Did *NAME* study in Canada based on an award that required them to go back to their home country to apply their knowledge and skills? This includes some awards from Global Affairs Canada.
Hi Sofia. I found this video really informative and thanks for it. I would be really thankful if I could get assistance for those queries !!! (Thanks in advance) 1) Can currently studying in 8th semester as an agricultural engineering student can apply for it now or should have to wait till we get bachelor's certificate? 2) Within how much duration should we have to fill up the details after creating express entry profile? 3) Would mentioning work experience greater than we actually have worked brings any disruptions in ITA ?
Hi , thank u so much for the feedback! 1) u can apply now but it’s better u apply once u complete your degree so that u can claim points for it 2)the express entry profile is valid for 1 year , u can update it any time and u hv 60 days after receiving ita to update 3) yes it may cause disruptions as u hv to provide proof of employment for all the experience u hv shown
Hey Sofia, thank you and this was insightful. I have a job under Teer 1 and I would be a year by the end of this month. Quick question under "Intended work in Canada" section - I noticed you mentioned that we should select No under the question (Does Ibrahim have a job offer in Canada), why is that so when I have a job offer?. Even though it requires a work permit but not an LMIA?. I look forward to your response, thank you.
Hi if u click on the more information symbol ( that is the i symbol) at the top for this question, it shows the details of the requirement, and there it specifies what is considered a job offer , apart from some exceptions, it’s lmia
Hi Sofia. Your videos are really helpful and I cant thank you enough. I have a doubt. In 'work history' under the 'work history' section, do we need to include the part time work we did on our SIN in Canada as a full time student? Please let me know, thanks!
Hi ! Now that I have received my invitation to apply I am making a detailed step by step video on how to accept the PR invitation and the next steps , the video should be our by next week .
thanks so much,your Video was so helpful for me so just one question please when i submit my application after that can i update my IELTS score or other Date in my profile or Not? i mean when i fill up everything, agree, sign everything and submit after that can i make any changes in my profile or not?
Hey it’s exactly the same process , just select country of study as your home country and not canada, no for the question how many years of canadian work experience u hv and select your experience under how many years of foreign experience u have ,
Was more than half the study program English or French as a second language courses? -I studied in Canada and medium is English only so what should i answer here -YES OR NO
Hello Sofia, hope you are doing well. I have a question: I have one year experience in Canada and almost one year experience India. So coming to my India experience: I worked between 14 Sep 2020 to 9 Sep 2021. This is 5 days short one year , do I need to mention this experience or leave it?
Hi ircc usually gives the points on a month basis so for u , it should be Sep 2020 to Sep 2021 so u can addd it so u get the points for foreign experience
Thank you very much for your video. I have a question about the work experience section. Since I am currently working both a full-time and a part-time job, when applying for Express Entry, do I only need to include the full-time work experience, or should I also include the part-time work experience? Thank you very much.
I was proof reading my EE application this morning and wasn't sure on what to enter for the question , have you applied for Express entry before? The question is, yes I created a profile a while back and received an ITA, but when I realized that I made an unintentional mistake in my profile I declined my ITA and withdrew my profile. So now, I made new profile should I say 'yes' for the question or say 'no' coz I did not accept the ITA?
According to me if you declined the ita , you can still select no as it should be an yes when u hv accepted and paid the fees , however to be on the safer side it’s better to select yes if u hv all the details available like your last Express entry profile no
I have one question. I am in Canada on work permit and my spouse is on spouse open work permit. To create express entry profile, do i have to show the status married, however i am applying permanent residence application only for myself and not claiming points of him. Do i need to enter his information or not??? Please suggest me
Hi Ashaaq , u will get that option once u receive the Invitation to apply, u can check my video on this topic -th-cam.com/video/F6TjL-w0JfY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m-R5soyj89mmzKIJ
Hi Sofia, Thanks for the video, it is very helpful. Just a quick question: after doing my research, I learned that one needs to have 1,560 hours of Canadian work experience. I have 1,440 hours of work experience. Can I still get into the pool?
Hi u can create your profile but it will be under FSW stream if you hv more than 67 points , to be eligible under CEC, u need to complete the 1560 hours and ensure it is for 1 year atleast
I’m married but not including my spouse in the express entry CEC profile. Could you please direct me with the exact option to disclose their exclusion??
Hi, I have a question. I have already been working in Canada for a job with a positive LMIA for more than a year now. Do I still need to complete the "Intended work in Canada" section? Or, should I just answer 'No' and proceed to fill out the "Work history" section? Thanks in advance!
Hey Sofia, Firstly thanks for such a helpful insight about creating a EE profile and helping others. 🙂 I have a query regarding job offer question. I am on a closed work permit which is valid still for another year along with offer of employment from my employer. So job offer question should say "Yes" or it will impact. I am currently working in Canada. Thanks in advance!
Hey Sofia Terrific content - simply xpained and helpful. I was filling out my profile and noted that there is no exact title matching my current job role but the duties match 60% with NOC code for "business system analysts" . This role falls under the STEM category. So can I apply under STEM based upon 60% matching responsibilites for this NOC or should the job title match as well?
Hey thank u so much for your kind words of encouragement! The job title doesn’t have to be an exact match , u can use the noc code that matches 60% of the job role . Just make sure when u are getting the work experience letter from your employer write it in a way such that there is a lot in common in the responsibilities between the Noc code and your job description! All the best , hope u get your PR soon
After submitting the application how long does it usually take to update and view application number and points? I am unable to see the number, the status just shows submitted, I cannot view any other details.

Great video Sofia, it's very helpful. I just had one question, if I enter the amount of funds as $10,000 then will I only be applicable for CEC and not FSW? I have studied for a year in Canada and also worked for one year here. Kindly let me know, thanks!
Thank you so much Sid , glad you found it helpful, if you enter funds as $10000 u will only be eligible for CEC and not FSW , as the funds criteria for FSW won’t be met , but there’s nothing to worry u can still apply under CEC and receive ITA
Hi, thanks for the video, appreciate it! on your video at 8:35 you clicked next after adding 1 year of experience and went to next page, where as it showed me additional question for " In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have? It must have been continuous, paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation. (required)" whats that ? my indian experience. Thanks
Hi , yes that would be your foreign experience or Indian work experience, select your noc code , and time , if u hv multiple noc codes u can add multiple ones too
@@sofiaincanada hi! thanks, also I worked at kfc as a shift manager for 7-8 months part time, and during break some more hours, I saw an option of adding that experience too, can I add my experience while I was on study permit ?

I created express entry profile today (my crs point 67) but at the end My crs score should have made 354 but I was informed that I am not eligible to enter the pool. why could be reasons for this ? why should I do ?
There may be several reasons, usually ircc sends an email with the reason , check the email , the most common reason being not meeting the eligibility for any one stream, so check if you are meeting CEC or FSW , ( the FSW points should be 67 - www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers/six-selection-factors-federal-skilled-workers.html) on this calculator . Also if your points are 67 then your total crs score should ideally be above 354 , so check all the calculations, other reasons maybe not meeting ielts criteria, but best is to check on your profile or wait for email , that should show the correct reason

Hi, Sofia! You are doing a wonderful content, loved it. Just two questions if you don't mind, I did not get ECA for my bachelors as I did Masters in Canada. I have heard that ECA is not required once my highest degree is awarded from a Canadian Institution. So, I have entered the details of my Indian Bachelors in the portal but selected 'No' in the ECA field. Do you think it is ok? Also, I filled my details of Intermediate course from India as Secondary Diploma (High school graduation) with ECA as 'No'. Would these be of any problem?
Hi thank u so much for your support, really appreciate it , if u hv done masters from Canada u won’t need to get Wes for your bachelors , however there are a few exceptions u can confirm it here www.wes.org/advisor-blog/requirements-canada-educational-credential-assessment-eca/

Thank you Vishesh ! Glad u found it helpful, I would recommend to pull up the graduation certificate if present to check the month coz incase it’s not entered correctly, ircc may ask for explanation when u submit docs after getting ita , second - the moment u enter 1 year + experience working in Canada , the system identifies u as eligible for CEC , so once the profile is created , it will show on your homepage too that u hv met the criteria for CEC
what happens in the case the express entry profile expires, would one have to re-create the account and start from scratch as what you have explained in the video or the steps are different. kindly help
Hello sofia, Thank you for the video. So if I am currently in Canada visiting, what should I put in the country of residence? Canada or my Home Country?
Hi Sofia, thanks so much for the information. My question is, I got a job offer straight after school with the bank and I have been working since then. on the express entry profile part where it’s asking if I have a valid job offer, do I say Yes or No? because on IRCC website it says you are exempted from LMIA if you work with the job for atleast a year. What do you advise ?
Hi Ken , thank you for the great question. Select no under the job offer part coz the yes is only for people with lmia and by selecting yes they can get 50 extra points. The exemption is that if u hv 1 year Canadian work experience u can apply under the CEC category without a lmia . The other exemption for lmia should meet this criteria- www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/offer-employment/lmia-exempt.html . U need to meet all three criteria and the job category should be under the exemption list ,Hope this helps !

Hi thank u so much ! Since u did it from India u must get your Wes done and then add it acc to your Wes evaluation! No class 10 Education doesn’t need to be added , part time experience is not mandatory but can help if u get extra points if meeting all the criteria for your profile
Thank u so much for your support Nafesa . If you have a lmia you can apply right away if u are eligible under FSW and have over 67 points for FSW . If not then I would recommend to complete one year canadian experience and then apply as it will not only get u eligible under CEC but u can also get additional points for Canadian experience

Hello, I have one question. My express entry profile expired in Dec 2023, do I have to create a new profile altogether or is there any way I can make my expired profile valid again? Because when I try to create a new profile I see a statement that says I have a gckey and password, so shall I create a new one because old one is expired? Thanks
When you create an Express entry profile, there is only section to add spouse details and no of dependent. On later stages after ITA, you will have to provide all the details of children.

Great video, but there was a clever omission of a perplexing question in the Study and Language section: Was more than half the study program English or French as a second language courses?
Hi thank u ! This will depend on your situation, if u hv opted for these programs u can select that , but in most cases the answer to this will be no
I did coop as part of my study and that time I was not attending any of the classes. Also, to do this coop, I applied for the 'coop work permit' and got one. So my question is what should I select for the question 'Studying full-time while doing this job? A person must be in class at least 15 hours per week during the academic year to be considered full-time. This includes any period of training in the workplace that is part of the study program.' Yes or No and 'Which of these categories does job fall under?', there is no option for coop work permit.
Hi the work experience during co op doesn’t count towards Canadian experience as it is part of your study
yes you must put your spouse details to claim points incase having minimum canadian work experience matter on what type of work permit he is into
Thank u for sharing Anya
Hello Sofia, that's a great hands-on video, I have a couple of queries doing that if you don't mind answering
1. I already have a Study Application (SDS) in process, is it better to create the EE profile after the study application approval?
2. I already have my WES evaluation done previously for academic institutions, will that work, or do I need to order a duplicate for IRCC? And when do I order it before or after submitting the express entry profile
Should I add OINP as a recipient also?
3. I just have given CELPIP, is there any minimum CLB needed?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Archit , Great questions!
the express entry profile stays valid for 1 year , so I would recommend to create once u hv completed your studies in Canada or abt to complete your 1 year Canadian work experience
If u hv done your Wes already u should be able to download the soft copy from your account on Wes and upload it for express entry , no need to send to ircc or for oinp separately again
There is no minimum requirement for Celpip but if the scores are too low u may not get enough points on your CRS score , however judging by your comment , you seem to hv a pretty good command over the language so that sudnt be a problem
I appreciate your content on Express Entry, but there’s a major gap that I, and many others, are struggling with. I only have 1560 hours of continuous student skilled work experience in Canada, which meets the minimum eligibility for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program but doesn’t qualify for points under work experience. I’m trying to create my EE profile to be considered under FSW, not Canadian Experience Class (CEC), but the options are confusing. There’s no clear guidance on how to ensure this experience counts only for minimum eligibility without earning points. It would be super helpful if you could make a detailed video on this topic, as it’s a unique but common issue that’s not being addressed. Thanks!
Hey thank u so much ! Great suggestion, I will do my research and try and make a video on it in the next 2 weeks
Thank you so much for this video! It helps me how to create my profile! God bless!
Thank you so much for your support! Glad it was helpful, all the best for your pr journey

Hi, I have a question about creating my Express Entry (EE) profile. I have an employment letter that states I started working in August 2022. However, at that time, I was a student working part-time. In April 2023, I began working full-time since students were allowed to do so, and I received my work permit in July 2023.
My question is: For the “From” section in the work experience, should I use the start date (August 2022) or the date I received my work permit (July 2023)? Currently, I have entered the start date, and it’s counting as two years of experience, which has given me extra points. Could you please help me clarify this?
Thanks
Hey so your work experience as a student will not count as Canadian work experience, it will start counting from when u applied for your pgwp , it does have to be the approved work permit, the moment u apply , u are on implied status and u. Can count that period too , I did the same as well
@@sofiaincanada Thank you for your reply. ( i applied wp on July 2023)

Hello Sofia. Thank you for this video! Has resolved many questions for me. I have one concern. In the work history section, I selected my primary NOC code and minimum education required for it is a bachelor degree. However, I completed my bachelor program back home in 2019, but I did a Masters program in Canada finalized in 2022. Which one should I put in my express entry application? Thank you
Hi it doesn’t matter if u completed it in 2019, u must put both your bachelors and masters degree , most probably u won’t need to do Wes for your bachelors as u hv a masters degree now , however still check the WES website to confirm
what should we answer for this question under education section? Did *NAME* study in Canada based on an award that required them to go back to their home country to apply their knowledge and skills? This includes some awards from Global Affairs Canada.
Hi ideally it sud be no , click on the small question mark beside the question, it will give u details ok what programs fall under this
Hi Sofia. I found this video really informative and thanks for it. I would be really thankful if I could get assistance for those queries !!! (Thanks in advance)
1) Can currently studying in 8th semester as an agricultural engineering student can apply for it now or should have to wait till we get bachelor's certificate?
2) Within how much duration should we have to fill up the details after creating express entry profile?
3) Would mentioning work experience greater than we actually have worked brings any disruptions in ITA ?
Hi , thank u so much for the feedback! 1) u can apply now but it’s better u apply once u complete your degree so that u can claim points for it 2)the express entry profile is valid for 1 year , u can update it any time and u hv 60 days after receiving ita to update 3) yes it may cause disruptions as u hv to provide proof of employment for all the experience u hv shown
Hey Sofia, thank you and this was insightful. I have a job under Teer 1 and I would be a year by the end of this month. Quick question under "Intended work in Canada" section - I noticed you mentioned that we should select No under the question (Does Ibrahim have a job offer in Canada), why is that so when I have a job offer?. Even though it requires a work permit but not an LMIA?. I look forward to your response, thank you.

I have a question: I have one year experience in Canada and almost one year experience India.
So coming to my India experience: I worked between 14 Sep 2020 to 9 Sep 2021. This is 5 days short one year , do I need to mention this experience or leave it?

Thank you very much for your video. I have a question about the work experience section. Since I am currently working both a full-time and a part-time job, when applying for Express Entry, do I only need to include the full-time work experience, or should I also include the part-time work experience? Thank you very much.
Glad u liked the video , U can include both but the points will be given acc to the full time job
I was proof reading my EE application this morning and wasn't sure on what to enter for the question , have you applied for Express entry before? The question is, yes I created a profile a while back and received an ITA, but when I realized that I made an unintentional mistake in my profile I declined my ITA and withdrew my profile. So now, I made new profile should I say 'yes' for the question or say 'no' coz I did not accept the ITA?
According to me if you declined the ita , you can still select no as it should be an yes when u hv accepted and paid the fees , however to be on the safer side it’s better to select yes if u hv all the details available like your last Express entry profile no
I have one question. I am in Canada on work permit and my spouse is on spouse open work permit.

So job offer question should say "Yes" or it will impact.

Hey Sofia
Terrific content - simply xpained and helpful.
I was filling out my profile and noted that there is no exact title matching my current job role but the duties match 60% with NOC code for "business system analysts" . This role falls under the STEM category. So can I apply under STEM based upon 60% matching responsibilites for this NOC or should the job title match as well?
Hey thank u so much for your kind words of encouragement! The job title doesn’t have to be an exact match , u can use the noc code that matches 60% of the job role . Just make sure when u are getting the work experience letter from your employer write it in a way such that there is a lot in common in the responsibilities between the Noc code and your job description! All the best , hope u get your PR soon
After submitting the application how long does it usually take to update and view application number and points? I am unable to see the number, the status just shows submitted, I cannot view any other details.
U should be able to see the total points right away , check if there is any error in submitting

My work experience is in noc 64400, 63102 & 11109. I have tried with one code for all but I couldn’t see any changes.
Could anyone help ?
Hey the Noc code doesn’t really change your points , if u want to discuss about your points calculation u can email me at Sofiaincanada13@gmail.com
1) Is Proof of Fund required for an International Student who is on a work permit to apply for PR? Do we have to mention the amount in that column? 2) Can a Pharmacy Assistant with only 6 months experience create an Express Entry Profile for PR?
1) if you are applying under CEC category proof of funds is not required but would be needed under FSW , yes 2) yes but they will not be eligible under cec can be eligible if getting 67 points in FSW , you can check the video and calculate your points th-cam.com/video/llC_WzfqD-Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3jYReHfQnBR4JA2L

As of July 26, 2022, Express Entry applicants that have claimed points for Canadian education credentials and completed any part of their program of study or training between March 1, 2020, and August 31, 2022, are now eligible for Canadian education credential points even if they completed the program entirely
through distance learning
from outside of Canada
through part-time studies
This is the official link from ircc www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/coronavirus/permanent-residence.html
So if u studied during this time u can select yes and get the points
@@sofiaincanada Sofia - Do we need to select Yes or No for this? Or is it something we still eligible if we select "No" ? I am confused whether to select Yes or No as 50% of studies completed outside Canda.
As long as u hv completed atleast 50% of studies in Canada ,and it was for 8 months u sud select yes , with no u won’t get full points
Thank you for the valuable video! I`ve got a question, I`m currently in Canada under Open work permit (Dependent) and my wife was the main applicant (As Student). When we apply for our visa initially, my profile and my wife`s profile both submitted through my wife`s GC key account. Now I`m thinking apply for EE, me as the primary applicant since I have one year experience in Teer 3 category job.
My question is, do I need to create a new GC Key account under my name or can I still use my wife`s GC key account?
Thank you for your support, glad you found it helpful, since you are creating a profile with you as the primary applicant, I would recommend to create a new GC key for yourself and then apply.
Thanks for the respond!@@sofiaincanada
Hi Sofia, thanks for the helpful video. After following all the steps, my score under Canadian Education says 0. Please suggest how to correct it or reach IRCC.
Hi make sure that u selected that more than 8 months was done in Canada and in person
My education started on 6th sept 2022 till 23rd april 2023, as per my completion letter from college. In my letter it is mentioned as 1 academic year
@@rasheesharma2711 in that case u will have to check with ircc as to whether u will get points for 1 year or u can select the dates for 1 year and include a letter with explanation
@@sofiaincanada Thankyou Sofia. I’ll check with IRCC.
I created express entry profile today (my crs point 67) but at the end My crs score should have made 354 but I was informed that I am not eligible to enter the pool. why could be reasons for this ? why should I do ?
There may be several reasons, usually ircc sends an email with the reason , check the email , the most common reason being not meeting the eligibility for any one stream, so check if you are meeting CEC or FSW , ( the FSW points should be 67 - www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers/six-selection-factors-federal-skilled-workers.html) on this calculator . Also if your points are 67 then your total crs score should ideally be above 354 , so check all the calculations, other reasons maybe not meeting ielts criteria, but best is to check on your profile or wait for email , that should show the correct reason
Hi, Can anyone pls help me which is the WES reference number for PR application. There are two mentioned on the document. One of them ends with IMM and I am so confused. Kindly help
Refer this www.wes.org/advisor-blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-wes-credential-evaluation/#:~:text=What%20is%20a%20WES%20reference,in%20your%20communications%20with%20WES.
Hello; i have 2 jobs in my profile. First experience is 1 year and second experience which is my current occupation and i have completed 6 months in it. Moreover second job description fall under STEM category. Which job code i should enter as primary occupation? If i select first job then at the end “federal skilled worker” program has sign “met” but if i enter the second job(STEM) then federal skilled worker has “not met” sign. I am confused what to select as primary occupation in my case. Please advise.
Hi in order to count as primary noc code ,u must hv continuous work experience for 12 months , thus in your case I would recommend to select the first job as primary noc and add the second as secondary
Hi I have a question
When I did my assessment on crs calculator my score was 488 but when I did it on the express ebtry profile it’s coming down to 473 ! For some reason I have zero points for study in Canada , but I did a 2 yr course here ! Am I doing something wrong ? Could u plz help me with this 😊
Hi ! Check if u hv selected yes for all the questions in regards to Canadian education
Hi Sofia , my EE profile was expiring so i created a new one , but on my earlier profile i was eligible in FSW and CEC but when i created new one its just showing CEC where as my CRS score and score break down is exactly similar to my previous profile . Pls advise
Hi Riya , thank you for sharing , this may happen if the profile is no longer meeting any of the FSW criteria, were the proof of funds updated as per the new requirements , also check if u are still meeting 67 points on the FSW calculator
Hie Sofia. It was such an informative and new video as per new updates.
I had one question confusion.
For Noc Code as I have eligible experience back home and now here also. But both are different noc codes. So which one should I mention initially for applying.
If u can help that will be great :)
Hi Manpreet ,thanks , glad u liked the video . So for your experience in Canada select the primary noc code as the job that u are doing here , and then when u select foreign experience , select the noc code for the job that you were doing in your home country
Hey Sophia, I have some questions regarding this video if you can answer that please?
1. If i have done my bachelors from india of 3 years what should i write in the part of complete full academic years WES is done and it is equivalent to 4 yrs bachelors in canada ?
2. If i have done a PG diploma of 8 months plus 4 months of coop what should i write in that academic years option?
Please if you can answer that.
1)if u hv received wes evaluatio as bachelors then u can select bachelors, for pg diploma selecxt 1 year as co op is considered part of your studies, mine was the same too, together u should select and get points for 2 or more degrees, you can email me at sofiaincanada13@gmail.com if you want to discuss further
Hi Sofia, would you know why I don't see the EE options the only options for me are visitor visa, study, and IEC. Is there something I missed out on? thanks
Hi a few other viewers have also faced this issue , sometimes there are issues with the website try at a later time or try asking other people with the same comment as to how their issue got fixed
Hi, Sofia!
You are doing a wonderful content, loved it.
Just two questions if you don't mind, I did not get ECA for my bachelors as I did Masters in Canada. I have heard that ECA is not required once my highest degree is awarded from a Canadian Institution. So, I have entered the details of my Indian Bachelors in the portal but selected 'No' in the ECA field. Do you think it is ok?
Also, I filled my details of Intermediate course from India as Secondary Diploma (High school graduation) with ECA as 'No'. Would these be of any problem?
Hi thank u so much for your support, really appreciate it , if u hv done masters from Canada u won’t need to get Wes for your bachelors , however there are a few exceptions u can confirm it here www.wes.org/advisor-blog/requirements-canada-educational-credential-assessment-eca/
Yeah u don’t need Wes for your high school degree
@@sofiaincanada amazing! Thanks for your quick turn around. I appreciate it and keep up the good work!
if today i complete my profile and in the next draw my profile does not get selected, should i apply again or wait for the next draw for my profile to be picked by luck ? please advise
many thanks !
Hi your profile will be valid upto 1 year , so whenever the draw score is less than or equal to your crs score u will get an invite , u don’t need to keep applying, once your file is submitted it will be automatically eligible for the draws for 1 year
@@sofiaincanada thank you sooo much 💯
Hello Sofia. Great video. Please help me out a bit. I finished my 4 years bachelors degree in Canada and back home I did 2 years of college. Should I add those 2 years in college on my education info ?
Thanks in advance 🙏🏽
Hey I would recommend u do , coz that way u will get points for two or more degrees which is more than just for bachelors
When should we submit documents like work experience and other relavant dockets?
Once u receive the ita you will hv to submit all the docs
Hiii Sofia !! I’ve one question, I started my work experience in feb.2023 so when I’m able to crest express entry profile…I mean in Jan 2024 or do I’ve to wait for feb 2024.
Hi u can create your express entry profile now and update your work experience once u complete one year in Feb
Thankyou for this intriguing video. If I have experience back home for more than 5.5 years under 2 NOC (3 years in One & 2.5 years in other), Can I show both or just one with 3 years of work experience? in that - it wasn't continuous as I had a break of 2 months then everything was continuous. Please help me I am worried & in dilemma with no concrete response anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
Hi u can show both , as long as your primary noc job was 1 year continuous it should be good , if u want to discuss more details u can reach out to me at sofiaincanada13@gmail.com
very helpful. That's the latest video i found. I have a few questions i did grad in 2014-17 don't know the exact month, second when i fill and submit the form how does it get recognize for CEC.
Thank you Vishesh ! Glad u found it helpful, I would recommend to pull up the graduation certificate if present to check the month coz incase it’s not entered correctly, ircc may ask for explanation when u submit docs after getting ita , second - the moment u enter 1 year + experience working in Canada , the system identifies u as eligible for CEC , so once the profile is created , it will show on your homepage too that u hv met the criteria for CEC
what happens in the case the express entry profile expires, would one have to re-create the account and start from scratch as what you have explained in the video or the steps are different. kindly help
Hi the profile expires after 1 year , u then need to create a new one with the exact same steps
Primary NOC code should it be for the current job I’m in or the noc code for the 12 months job that qualifies for PR express entry?
Hi primary noc code can be any job where u hv worked full time continuously for 12 months , doesn’t hv to be your current job
Hello sofia, Thank you for the video. So if I am currently in Canada visiting, what should I put in the country of residence? Canada or my Home Country?
Hi Jerry , thank you for your comment. If you are in Canada select your country of residence as Canada and country of citizenship as your home country

@@jerrypeprahowusu7265 glad I could help 😃
Hi Sofia, thanks so much for the information. My question is, I got a job offer straight after school with the bank and I have been working since then. on the express entry profile part where it’s asking if I have a valid job offer, do I say Yes or No? because on IRCC website it says you are exempted from LMIA if you work with the job for atleast a year. What do you advise ?
Hi Ken , thank you for the great question. Select no under the job offer part coz the yes is only for people with lmia and by selecting yes they can get 50 extra points. The exemption is that if u hv 1 year Canadian work experience u can apply under the CEC category without a lmia . The other exemption for lmia should meet this criteria- www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/offer-employment/lmia-exempt.html . U need to meet all three criteria and the job category should be under the exemption list ,Hope this helps !
@@sofiaincanada Thanks soo much for the reply. It really helps.
Hello Sofia thanks a lot for your efforta,i have couple of questions i did my 3 years diploma in ece after 10 class in India what can we add ib field of study?
And this qualification comes as secondary diploma?
2.do we need to add 10 class education?
3.do we need to add part time job experience?
Hi thank u so much ! Since u did it from India u must get your Wes done and then add it acc to your Wes evaluation! No class 10
Education doesn’t need to be added , part time experience is not mandatory but can help if u get extra points if meeting all the criteria for your profile
Really helpful thanks so much, can I apply for my PR before 1 year? On a LMIA work permit full time, going on my 7 months now
Thank u so much for your support Nafesa . If you have a lmia you can apply right away if
u are eligible under FSW and have over 67 points for FSW . If not then I would recommend to complete one year canadian experience and then apply as it will not only get u eligible under CEC but u can also get additional points for Canadian experience
Understand, how would I know if am eligible for THE FSW?
@@nafesabeckford7444 Check your points on this - if you have 67 out of 100 points and meet proof of funds requirements u will be eligible www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers/six-selection-factors-federal-skilled-workers.html

Hey thanks for the video, I had a query for education details, If I had 8 months course with 4 months coop and then 4 months bridging course, then how to show that in PR application?
8 months with 4 months co op will count t as one 1 year course and then u can add the bridging course additionallly or u can call ircc to confirm . I am sure abt the co op bit as it was same for me but not a 100% abt the bridging course

Yes u can keep editing and updating it
