You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams.

An immigration consultant or attorney cannot improve your CSR score or speed up your application.If a consultant tells you you’re eligible, it’s because either you’re overlooking an immigration program you’d be eligible for or he’s lying to you.An immigration consultant or attorney is familiar with the different immigration programs and knows how to fill out the paperwork and online forms.The Express Entry system is designed to be used without an immigration consultant or attorney. I immigrated through Express Entry without one.However, if you’re not good with paperwork or aren’t totally comfortable with English, you may want to get professional help. Make sure your consultant is authorized.

There are no “avenues”. There is only one avenue and that is to apply through the standard Express Entry immigration program. How Express Entry works. You would fall in the Skilled Worker category. Determine your eligibility - Federal skilled workers.You can increase your chances of getting Permanent Resident status by:Getting a job offer. There are software jobs available in BC and Ontario (other places too, just not so many). B.C. tech sector growing so fast it’s hard to measure size of industryor, getting a Provincial Nomination from any province. There are additional applications to fill out for Provincial Nomination, but getting a nomination means that the province thinks you will have no difficulty finding a job if you come. You have to live and work in the Province that nominates you.

For everyone asking questions on WES.Steps for WES ECA evaluation for Canada Immigration purpose, important points and some more info.(a lot of info, so going to be a long post)Before you start just check following things:1. Website: World Education Services Canada: International Credential EvaluationPlease please go through the website and make yourself familiar with navigation. You will get most of your answers there. Don't start asking questions before going through information posted on website. Its for your own good to get first hand information before listening to other people.***Always make sure you are on Canada website not USA one. you can see that on top right corner of Website where a flag is listed with country name or in website address with "/ca" listed in address.***2. Degree equivalency toolDegree Equivalency ToolWES has free tool to check equivalency of your degree to Canadian degree. Don't rely completely on this as the final assessment always depends on the actual evaluation but it will give you an idea and a head start. If your degree is not listed there it doesn't mean it wont be equivalent to anything, you will get to know that in real assessment.***If you are not sure after using the tool, if your degree/college will be valid for ECA through WES try to email/ WES to check or ask if anyone had same degree evaluated before. That might help you little bit in the case where your degree/ college is not valid and save you some money, you can check other designated organizations for your ECA then.***3. Required DocumentsRequired Documents - World Education ServicesCheck what documents you need for your evaluation here. If you don't have those in hand just start collecting those. Get your transcripts from your university or any other document listed as per your education.You can also ask your university if they can mail your transcripts directly to WES, you can use "Academic records request form" given on website for this. Check if your University needs their own form filled too for releasing your documents.(do this after you get your WES reference number as you will need that in case you are giving the address of WES to university for mailing your transcripts, In case you are taking your transcripts yourself for mailing, you can get reference number later too).***Make sure your transcripts are valid. Transcripts must show: all subjects taken, grades received for each subject, and for each year you were in the program. Semester wise transcripts are not valid for evaluation. Transcripts should be sealed and signed with a stamp from university.******If your University does not give subject-wise Transcript, Ask if you can get all your mark sheets attested from University, and they will sign and stamp all photocopies and put them in one envelope and seal them with stamp like transcripts. That is mostly called document verification in University.***4. Check how will you pay your fees. Credit card/ Money order/ Western Union or in case any other option listed in instructions. Check it out. Fee is approximately $225-$230(including taxes) in Canadian currency. Rest depends on what additional services you chose for delivery etc. Cheapest courier option is $7.ECA - World Education ServicesNext steps:1. Create a WES account.World Education Services Canada: International Credential EvaluationClick "Apply now", then click on "Canada", Then "ECA application for IRCC" and proceed with further steps.***Make sure you choose ECA application for IRCC not the other option.***Fill up your details in all pages very carefully and correctly.You will have to provide a recipient address, give your address there. When you will proceed it will automatically generate "Recipient 2" as IRCC. Don't worry about that one, it is used for electronic delivery of your records to IRCC when you put your WES report number while filling your express entry profile.2. Pay your fees3. Reference number will be generated.(This will be used in all your communications with WES)***Once you submit your profile and reference number is generated you cannot edit your information so do not be in haste, check carefully and then submit.******Your reference number is not ECA report number. You can't use it in Express entry profile. It is only used for communication with WES. When your evaluation is completed and you get your ECA report it will have your ECA number which you will mention in Express Entry application.***4. Read all instructions on what documents to send and at which address.*** Put your reference number on all your transcript envelops(at an empty space, not on the seal or signature or anywhere on flaps) and backside of your degree photocopies. I will suggest using a pencil not a pen for that as sometimes pen ink leaks through paper.******You can put all your documents in one big/ master envelope and send to WES. No need to mail everything separately. Make sure again to put your reference number with WES address on the packet.******Do not send any original document to WES unless asked specifically with instructions that they will return it after evaluation.***5. you can check status of your application by logging in your WES account. It will show once they have received your documents, your evaluation report will take up to 20 days after your documents are received. Be patient.***If you are using tracking with your courier and it shows your documents delivered but WES account doesn't show received don't panic. It takes up to a week for WES to update receiving of documents.***6. Once your evaluation is completed you most probably will receive an email. You can find pdf copy of your report by logging in your WES account.***Check your report that everything is correctly mentioned.******No need to wait for hard copy of your report for Express entry if you have got pdf version in your account. It is same and have your report number on it which you can use for express entry profile.******Your ECA is valid for 5 years.***Note: Do not ask any question if you have not read entire post. If the information is already posted here just check it out. I am no expert but will try to answer any question which I haven't answered here if and only I am sure about that. Will also edit the post and add the point.If I have posted anything wrong feel free to mention and I will edit the post.Good Luck.Cheers.

Hi Yinka,There are a few ways to migrate to Canada without a job offer:Education - if you can afford it, get a Canadian Education, preferably a Graduate (Masters) degree. You'll be given a 1–3 (usually 3) years Post Graduate Work Permit on graduation.Skilled Worker - You can look into Canadian Residency application. Canada is always looking for skilled workers. What skills do you have? Check for skills Canada is looking for to see if you're a good fit.Spousal sponsorship - If you meet a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident as a future partner, they'll sponsor you to migrate to Canada.To the poster, if you have been asked to find a job before immigrating to Canada. Search the Canadian job websites: Workopolis, Monster, Indeed, Jobrapido, etc. for jobs in your field. You have to understand that whoever will employ you has to provide an LMIA (Labour Market Assessment) to the Canadian government to prove that there's no other Canadian who can do that job.However, even though eligibility states you need to have a job offer, I'm sure you are approaching it wrong. If you start the application, you should be able to create a job profile & link to the job bank.What matters is that your skills are listed as one of the skills currently needed in Canada. You don't need to have a job to apply. Although if you have a job offer, it'll increase your points, give you a very high score & enable you to be selected from the pool quicker than others.

Thanks for A2A.I will not be able to predict the future but Express Entry is one of the most fair permanent residency programs out there. The response is overwhelming. Thousands of immigrants from all over the world are moving there and it is the most legal way to do so. I received my ITA on 22nd February and I will be one of those immigrants to go there.As most immigrants are moving to Toronto or any other suburb in Ontario, the economy is not that strong as it used to be. They also prefer Canadian Experience candidates above the immigrants who have non-Canadian experience. This trend has created a negative impact on the immigrants coming to Canada. Finding jobs will be tough for immigrants in their initial years but they normally take up menial jobs and work their way up to getting their jobs in the field of their expertise.Canada may make stricter rules and set a default cut off to stop lots and lots of immigrants coming to their country in future. It will stay the same for the next year and so as Canada is a huge country geographically and some of the provinces are still developing. Migrating to Saskatchewan, Nova scotia and other maritime provinces will be a good idea.Let’s hope for the best.
