Thank you! 1. As far as I know, work while enrolled as a student doesn't count. But note that there are new regulations for applications submitted on or after Nov 16, 2022 (which I am NOT familiar with). Make sure to check out this link:www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/economic-classes/experience/qualifying-work-experience.html 2. In case NOC applies to your application, then what's important is the description of the roles and responsibilities (not just the title). So you'd need to browse the NOC codes, click on the jobs that match your job the best and then really compare if the detailed responsibilities match. In case they are too far off, then even the designation doesn't matter much. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much! To apply via the CEC stream you need to have that Canadian work experience. Many people gain that either by getting a "qualifying" job offer directly from a company here, or from work experience after they graduate from their studies in Canada. That's something to consider. But there are other streams, e.g. that I will talk about soon for which Canadian experience is not required.

My education background is pharmacy I’m a foreign pharmacy graduate not have Canadian license to practice as pharmacist yet.but I’m working at the convenience store plus esso gas station as a retail sales supervisor. Would it affect on my pr application under CEC? Since my education doesn’t match to my current work experience. I think pharmacy can also work at the retail side , business side whether is a drug store or other convenience stores like keeping OTC medicines, food items, sports drinks also gas

Some things you can do is improve your language test results (if it's not at its max already!), accumulate more work experience, get arranged employment (eligible job offer). Yes, your wife's work experience can count if it's Canadian (and meets the eligibility requirements). I encourage you to research more on the official page! *Disclaimer: I am not an immigration lawyer, these are based on my knowledge and experience only*

Welldone. Does CEC work with CRS score like FSWP & the rest? If yes; Does the score have to be up-to the cut off score of each draw? Secondly, Does part time skilled work experience gained while studying count?

Thanks! Yes, that's right, in addition to the eligibility requirements, the CRS score and cut-off score each round will ultimately determine who gets an ITA (invitation to apply). A very good question, according to canada.ca "Self-employment and work experience gained while you were a full-time student (even if you were on a co-op work term) doesn’t count towards the minimum requirements for this program". But regular part-time work does count. Hope this helps!

Hi. If the CRS Score is just around 280 due to age and work experience because I have been in private practice since 2008, should I continue with SP + PGWP? even if ITA is unlikely. what happens if the PGWP has expired without an ITA? Thank you

@LivinginCanada

Жыл бұрын

As far as I know, during the pandemic there has been a program to extend PGWP duration, but not sure if you've made use of that already. One option is to go for a second study course. Both I and my husband alternately took Post-graduate certificates lasting 1 year, which are quite affordable. Honestly, it will be very difficult to compete with that score, but probably getting a second education in Canada will raise your score, plus you'll get extra time for work experience which will add points. Understood about the age factor, but you never know! Right now cut-off scores are super high, but depending on government policies, things may change (like last year, where they suddenly upped the intake and the score dropped to 75 in one lucky round). Don't give up, there will be a way. Further, I would suggest to work together with an immigration advisor/lawyer who'd be able to give you better advice and tips. All the best!

Hi. I’ll be scoring an lmia and work permit, when should I be able to apply for PR? Within a few weeks 6 or 12 months? Lastly, the time before PR will be counted in citizenship?

You can set up an Express Entry Profile anytime, as long as you meet the minimum eligibility criteria (including language skills and other things I mentioned in the video). I am not sure, but I'd say that it's a good idea to wait until the LMIA is in your pocket so you can check that off in your application and get the maximum possible points. Once you reach the cut-off score (CRS score), you will receive an ITA (Invitation to Apply), after which you submit your complete application package. According to CIC (www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/eligibility.html) for citizenship you need to have lived in Canada for 3 years (in the 5 years immediate before citizenship application). Interestingly, also " each day you were physically present in Canada as an authorized temporary resident or protected person before you became a permanent resident counts as half a day (up to a maximum of 365 days". Check out the link above for more details!

Nope, having a work permit doesn't have anything to do with a PR application. The PR application is based on you fulfilling all the PR requirements. The only thing that connects to work permit is that if you work in Canada, it has to be legal and on a valid permit, otherwise it could disqualify you for a PR.

Here on the official website www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/economic-classes/experience/qualifying-work-experience.html it says "Work experience need not be continuous under the Canadian experience class (CEC)" To be 100% sure, I would talk to an immigration lawyer/advisor. Good luck!

Working after one year full time with the same employer could help to extend my pgwp?

At certain times there are programs that allow pgwp extensions, but I am not aware whether there is anything like that at the moment and how it works.

What skill grade of line cook?

Thanks for the video. I’ve a pretty specific circumstance I was wondering about. Myself and my common law spouse have been here since April 2022. We both have very good jobs and are approaching 12 months Canadian work experience. We have plenty of funds and have built up good credit scores. We need to assess our NOC codes but I’ll most likely be 0. I’m a commercial director in the food industry, but I haven’t been able to identify the exact code. My issue and question is - I don’t have any college education. I’ve got over 16 years commercial experience prior to arriving here and soon to have 12 months here. How should we go about applying for PR. Can my spouse apply and sponsor me, or is my Canadian work experience plus CELPIP scores (yet to take, but as a native English speaker I’d hope to do well) be enough? It’s very difficult to find a clear answer on this, so I’d appreciate any help. Thanks

It depends on the program, I think that's possible if you apply for Montreal. But to be sure, check canada.ca

It's very difficult to get such a job from outside of the country. Usually companies will sponsor you if you have a very unique skill that cannot be sourced from inside the company. Perhaps, you can look for a remote position that requires specific language skills that you're fluent in (but that work experience would not count towards CEC). Perhaps you could consider applying through the Federal Skilled Workers program? I also made a video on that, so check that out!

Hi, May I ask on how easy it is to be selected for CEC program after one year of experience if working in Toronto as an accountant. Thank you!

It all depends on the score you have. You can calculate your CRS score online on either the official website or third party and then look at previous EE draws to see how you fair. Going forward the minister is picking from industries that have labour shortages and it won't be just the score that determines it

Very well explained! Yes, try out the CRS calculator, then compare your score against the previous draws, I made a separate video about that, you can check it out in my playlists.

By this August (next month) my wife will gain 1 year work experience in IT. She is having a valid work permit and recently took IELTS(G) and scored 7. As a spouse, how much score do I need to get?

@LivinginCanada

Жыл бұрын

If you're applying together, as spouse you do not HAVE to get any points. But, any points you earn will help your application to reach eligibility and also compete in the express entry pool. Once you're ready to submit you're profile here through this link: www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/submit-profile.html you'll be able to see how many points you together with your spouse can get. Good luck!

Hi! Do you know if I can apply for it living in BC and working remotely for Toronto employer?

@LivinginCanada

I'm not familiar with BC, but as far as I know the CEC program is nationwide... some provinces have their own programs though so I'd suggest check first if BC has any of those.

I have an Express Entry profile and recently I completed one year work experience in Canada...so I updated that in my profile under Canadian experience class it shows that I met the minimum criteria under CEC but my score is not updated it still remains the same, is this a bug in the system? Do I need to reach out to IRCC? please suggest, Thank you!

Hi did you get lmia ? Or just letter of employment ?

anyone knows why Quebec has to be such a pain in the ass for immigration? So far it is also struggling from labor shortage.

I don't have Canadian experience but I have total 6+yrs experience which visa would be suitable for me? Any inputs welcome :)

The federal skilled express entry is the most popular but I suggest finding a local employer who is willing to go through the LMIA process and sponsor you for a closed-work permit
