Things you would need to fill your Express Entry Profile

Hello there,

I get a lot of inquiries from people who wish to migrate to Canada. They know the process very well. Everybody knows that Canada has introduced the Express Entry system to filter potential immigrants and that the process is super fast, as compared to around 10 years ago, when you had to wait for 6-7 years to get to Canada.

But, there are a few things that everyone who wishes to migrate to Canada should know. For your Express Entry profile, you WILL need the following three things to proceed ahead:
  1. Language Test Result: Canada only accepts IELTS (General module) and CELPIP (Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program) as proofs of your English language proficiency. For French, the only acceptable test is TEF (Test d’évaluation de français). The tests should have been taken in the last two years only.
  2. ECA (Education Credential Assessment): If you are educated outside Canada (anywhere in the world), you will have to get your education assessed against Canadian standards. Following are the designated organizations:
    • Comparative Education Service – University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies 
    • International Credential Assessment Service of Canada 
    • World Education Services  
    • International Qualifications Assessment Service
    • International Credential Evaluation Service
    • Medical Council of Canada
    • Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (professional body for Pharmacists)   
  3. NOC (National Occupation Qualification): You will need to know the skill type of the work experience that you want to claim points for. Choosing the correct NOC code is essential to the success of your visa application.
Thus, before you start your application, you MUST have the above three things with you to proceed ahead. If you need assistance or more information on the same, please do not hesitate to contact me.

How the Australian Immigration system is decades ahead of Canada!

Image
Canada and Australia are two of the most attractive destinations for prospective immigrants, temporary or permanent. Though it was Canada in 1967, that introduced the world to the point based skilled immigration, but in the past few years or decades if I must say, it is Australia which has lead the world in immigration reforms. Immigration innovation makes the process simpler and faster for the end user, is cost effective, environment friendly, removes/ reduces the chance of making mistakes on an immigration application and definitely saves time for everyone. And is not only Australia alone, but various other countries like New Zealand etc are moving forward on introducing rapid immigration reforms. Let us look at three different scenarios where Australia scores over Canada: 1.        Visa Labels In November 2002, Australia introduced the concept of eVisa, allowing students from across the globe to apply for Australian study permit online. In April 2008, Australia did a

Work Permits for International Students

Image
In 2015, there we 353,570 international students in Canada with China and India as the main source countries. This is almost a 100% increase in numbers from the year 2008, when there were 184,170 international students in Canada. International students add diversity to the college/ university/ city they are studying in and bring a whole new perspective along. However, the international student fee in Canada is approximately 3 times higher than what a domestic student has to pay. To offset this and to give them a taste of the workforce, the Canadian Government has introduced various work permit options for them.
