Canada FAQ

Educational assessment(EA) is when the government wants to know what quality of your education is. So, it decides to check the quality of your certificates which is done through world education services(WES). This process of educational assessment is extremely compulsory when you have taken degrees not from Canada but from other countries. IRCC has mandated the process for such candidates. Pharmacists and physicians are also required to undergo this assessment for immigration here. The world education services greatly assist you in getting this assessment. This kind of assessment is only recognized for the permanent residency visa but also is required for the study permits as well. The WES does its educational assessments and provides a grade point average which is similar to your percentage of an Indian degree. So, this translates your degree to a grade point average equivalent. WES also lets you know what the honesty of the educational documents is. A candidate gets his evaluation report from WES quite quickly in a week after his university applies for the same and sends his transcripts. The candidate just has to bear the charges and everything is done because the documents are sent back to him by WES after verification.

Yes, there is fund required for the visa of Canada. These funds are important because otherwise, the approval for the Canada immigration process becomes tough. The funds are required respectively under the Federal Skilled Trades and the federal skilled worker both of which are a part of the express entry program. In fact, showing such money is a mandatory part of getting qualified under these streams. The need for the funds increases once more family members are going to gain permanent residency with you in the country of Canada. The other conditions where no such funds are needed is in those situations where you already have employment ready for you in this country. There are more than 4 members you can have with you on a PR in this country. You will be glad to know that for one member, you need only 12,474 CAD funds as the required proof. So, there are many ways to show these funds. They can be present in the joint account of you hold with your spouse.

The next step is to wait, for the passing of one year since the express entry profile got created. It’s because once the profile has been created, it can be in the pool for one year. The candidate can wait for the scores to go down and wait for his profile to get shortlisted. After one year, it’s relevant to get rid of the old profile and create a new one. This has better chances of getting shortlisted because during the duration of one year, your experience increases. This increased experience increases the possibility of you getting the approval under the federal skilled worker program. There are also chances that your profile gets taken up by any state from the pool as per the rules of its respective PNP. PNP is a valuable way to immigrate, provided you have the required professional qualifications to get such state sponsorship. With the eligible credentials, the client can go to Canada quite easily. It is quite simple to get this visa because the federal skilled worker program just looks at the experience of a candidate, so its no harm to let your application stay in the pool, even if it does not get shortlisted. But after one year has elapsed, please make a second profile because your first profile gets elapsed.

The PNP is a great program to get you to Canada. The PNP programs of different provinces need different requirements from the client. The candidate needs to get job offers in some state to get the state sponsorship. So, when he gets the job, his salary will be as per the ongoing salary standards of that state. For example, the province of Saskatchewan requires someone to already have gotten future employment in this province as per the immigration program of the International skilled worker-employment offer. His employment should be in an occupation which is skilled. Apart from that, the score in the IELTS exam can be low but not less than CLB4. So, the salary package which you should be getting for this job offer should be as per the rules and regulations of this province. The province also needs someone to have the license once the employment pertains to a trade. Even if the employer is getting you on a job offer, he is required to get the labor market impact assessment(LMIA) done for you. However, he needs to conform to certain obligations to get you there: He should have to provide you with a contract of service. His wage standards should not be less than those in Canada for the same job and this he proves in the LMIA. So, there is no way he can offer you a lesser salary.

The exam of IELTS requires the candidates to get entirely 6 in the bands. However, his score can be higher once the candidate is not of the right age. In case, a candidate cant get the score acceptable for immigration, he can opt for this exam again after 1 month. This score is also less once you have a job offer in the province of Saskatchewan which requires only 4.0 in bands of speaking and writing and the score of 4.5 in listening and even lesser 3.5 in reading. This is quite attainable, but for that its mandatory to get a job offer in Saskatchewan. There are 4 segments in IELTS about which everyone is, aware. The longest segment is reading which requires the candidates 1 hour for completion. It has 40 questions in it. The next long section is listening (40 minutes) which includes 40 questions.

The IELTS score is also required mandatorily for the university admissions in foreign countries. Sometimes, universities also require a threshold band in a certain IELTS segment. How much points do we need to score for this Canada PR visa. A PR visa for Canada requires the candidates to get 6 in all the exam’s sections. However, the score also differs if the candidate has applied for a PNPs. Its because the PNPs choose candidates based on their specific requirements for different occupations.

So, you don’t need to bother yourself about getting CLB 7 in IELTS in this province.

The partner, who is accompanying him or her, must need to prove functional English in that case. The band score for each of the bands should not be less than 4.5. However, when the main applicant has not been able to collect 60 points on his own, then his partner has to score a good score in the IELTS level exam. He needs to have as much as 6 points in every band and his occupation should be in the nominated occupation list which includes yours.

The sponsor can be a partner of someone who is the holder of PR from Australia, or himself a PR holder of this country. In case, an employer is ready to sponsor you, who has been into a Labor Agreement with the designated Department Of Home Affairs, you are also likely to get the 186 visa.
