dispatch the file, and after that leave the client to fend for self for rest of the process. Do ask

representative and agents on board but do not offer services after the clients have paid up!

CANADA EXPRESS ENTRY
Canada Express Entry Program for Skilled Professionals
Under the system for selection of candidate under Canada FSW program, applicable till 31st December
2014 the applications are accepted based on a specified selection criterion and occupation list of select
occupations. Those qualified are accepted on First-in-the-queue basis. As per the announcement by
citizenship and Immigration, Canada, the selection criteria for skilled professionals, tradespersons and
applicants meeting requirements of Canadian Experience Class will change from 1st January 2015.
Summary of new selection criteria- Canada Express Entry Program:
1.

7.
A new point system will become applicable under the program.
The quota of Skilled Immigrants that Canadian Government permits will be processed more speedily,
with draws on a regular basis from the Express Entry pool. Those familiar with the process know that
quota for skilled professionals applications under Federal Skilled program is always limited and hence
sooner one gets into the pool, better will be chances to get selected before quota starts getting filled
up.
One can lodge an application in the pool, even where one DOES NOT have a confirmed job offer
from a Canadian employer. Our view is that confirmed job offers for candidates and applicants, not
physically present in Canada are hard to come by for many reasons. The majority of applications
under the Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program are likely to be filed in the Express Entry pool
without job offers, and hence, everybody will continue to have a chance to become a Canadian
permanent resident. Quality profiles will get preference and those higher in ranking in the pool will
stand a better chance of getting an invite from Citizenship and Immigration, Canada.
One can also look at work experience during last 10 years.
Every occupation appearing in O, A and B NOC (National Occupational Classification) category may
be able to get into the Express Entry pool. To know, whether your occupation belongs to any of
these 3 occupational categories, please contact business managers at one our offices immediately
by email or phone.
There is NO indication of any minimum point criteria required to lodge applications in the pool. So
that is great news! Having said that higher the ranking, more are the chances of one getting selected
from the pool and getting invited to apply for Canada Permanent Residence Visa. To know how to
get a higher ranking in the pool, please contact business managers at one our offices immediately by
email or phone.
Unmarried, as well as married, candidates can apply. If married, spousal credentials will be of great
help! If unmarried, no reason to lose hope, as you will be credited with higher points.

The younger the better, with those up to 29 years of age getting maximum benefit, while those
older need note lose hope as they can compensate for loss of age points by scoring high IELTS score
and against higher educational qualifications as also, where possible getting a job offer from a
Canadian Employer.
Better IELTS score and higher educational qualifications and improve your place in the Express Entry
pool rankings! To claim spousal points, the spouse MUST undergo WES (Educational credential
assessment), as well as IELTS test requirement.
Prospects are also bright for candidates who have Canadian experience and / or Canadian
Qualifications, even without any CURRENT confirmed job offer from Canada.
At this stage, it seems there are NO points for blood relations in Canada under the Express Entry
program.
There will be draws on regular basis from the express entry pool - with resumes securing higher
ranking being picked up FIRST.
Prospects are brightest with those who indeed end up getting job offers from Canada but starting
point for that is getting your application into the Express Entry Pool and getting your profile posted
in Canadian Job Bank.
The new quota for skilled professionals under the express entry program starts 1st January 2015 and so
there is EVERY reason for you to sign up with ABHINAV immediately to get into the pool ASAP. Remember
that it will take time for both spouses to get WES and IELTS scores and there is limited quota for federal
skilled workers this year as well! Mail your and if applicable, spousal resume to
[email protected] or
speak one of our business managers at any of our offices and start the process!

Canada Express Entry Program: Selection from Express Entry Pool by
Canadian employers, federal government and provincial agencies
As stated already having a confirmed job offer is not a compulsory requirement to be eligible to be
qualified under the express entry program. Where applicable, following is the process and procedure.
After your application has been put into the pool and resume posted in Canadian it can be assessed by the
Canadian employers and provinces will have access to a database pool of professionals and trades person
Under the Express Entry Electronic system. After shortlisting the candidates, the employers will approach
Department of Employment and Social Development, Government of Canada and apply for Labor Market
Impact assessment. Such an assessment indicates that the employer tried to look for similar profiles within
Canada but was not successful. He is therefore permitted to make an offer to a professional or trades
person or a candidate qualifying under Canadian Experience class whose profile is listed in the pool of
Candidates under express entry on-line system or is in the Canada’s job bank. Armed with such an offer,
the candidate can claim additional points while lodging his application under the express entry pool and
will be placed higher in rankings in the pool. They will have better chance of getting immediately selected
in draws because of higher ranking and can expect an invite from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)
to file an application for permanent residence visa to Canada, as also faster processing.

Candidates meet the minimum documentation requirements such as getting educational credentials
done and undergoing IELTS test and gets other critical documents ready. Where married, both these
requirements must be met for spouse as well. Our team will be pleased to guide you on critical
documents area once you have signed as our client.
Candidate files an on-line express entry form and will be asked to provide information related to his
qualifications, experience, occupation, Language skills, Canadian Education, Canadian Experience,
Spousal language skills, job offer etc.
He will be asked to indicate which of the economic class migrant programs he is making the
application under – Federal Skilled Worker Class, Canadian Experience Class, Canada Foreign
Tradesperson class.
The applicants will then file their profile into the Canadian job bank.
The electronic system will then rank the pool of applications and conduct draws from such filed
applications. Higher the candidate appears in the rank, better are the chances for him to get an
invite for filing a Canada PR application.
Applications that are not chosen from the pool for one year are likely to be removed after a year and
candidate will have to try his luck again.
Applicants chosen from the draw will be invited to file an application for permanent residence visa
with CIC. This application must be filed within 60 days of receipt of invite failing which invite will be
withdrawn. So is it critically ready to be ready with complete file and all required critical documents
at all times.
Application will be filed with CIO, Nova Scotia with required fee. Rest of the process including
background check and medical formalities are likely to be conducted at Local Canadian consulate.
Finally, the candidate will be asked to submit right of landing fee and passports for stamping.
