Essential Insights About Your NOC: What You Need to Know

Author By EUIC Admin Categories News

Dear future neighbour,

If you’re curious about this, here’s the essential clarification: while you can list multiple work experiences on your profile, you must select one primary NOC to claim your experience. This primary NOC should represent your relevant work history from the last three years for the Canadian Experience Class or from the last ten years for the Federal Skilled Worker Program. It’s crucial to remember that provinces focus on your primary work experience when reviewing your Express Entry profile, not the additional roles you’ve included. Choose your primary NOC carefully, as it will be the foundation of your immigration application.

What is an NOC?

NOC stands for National Occupational Classification, it is a standardized system used in Canada to categorize and describe occupations. It assigns a unique code to each job, reflecting its duties and responsibilities. The NOC is essential for immigration processes, job searches, and labor market analysis, helping to ensure that individuals and employers understand the requirements and classifications of various occupations.

Important Takeaways to Remember:

1. Select Your Primary NOC: Choose one primary NOC that accurately reflects your relevant work experience from the last 3 to 10 years.

2. Provincial Focus: When reviewing your Express Entry profile, provinces will concentrate on your primary NOC.

3. Multiple Experiences: While you can list various work experiences, only one NOC can be designated as primary.

4. Experience Requirements: For occupation-specific draws, ensure you have at least 6 months of relevant experience in your claimed primary NOC, obtained within the last 3 years.

5. Flexibility in Experience: Your primary NOC doesn’t have to be your most recent job, but it must align with the requirements of the immigration class you’re applying for (e.g., within the last 3 years for the Canadian Experience Class).

Hope this helps! If you’re eligible but haven’t set up your Express Entry profile yet, it’s time to get started—don’t wait!

Alberta introduces new Expression of Interest system for AAIP Worker Streams

Author By EUIC Admin Categories News

Dear future neighbour,

Alberta modified its process for issuing Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for certain streams under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP). This new approach impacts candidates seeking to apply through specific worker pathways within the program.

As of September 30, individuals who wish to apply to any of the AAIP worker streams must now submit a Worker Expression of Interest (EOI). Applicants can do this by logging into the AAIP portal and filling out an online form with their personal details. Once submitted, candidates are placed in a Worker Stream pool for potential selection. There is no cost involved in submitting an EOI.

Key Features of the New AAIP Worker EOI System

– Free Submission: Eligible candidates can submit their Worker Expression of Interest (EOI) at no cost, making the process more accessible to a wide range of applicants.
– Comprehensive Evaluation: Profiles will be scored and ranked using various criteria such as education, work experience, language skills, age, and connections to Alberta, ensuring a balanced assessment of each candidate’s potential.
– Frequent Selection Rounds: The AAIP will regularly hold draws from the Worker Stream pool, choosing candidates based on their EOI scores, the province’s labor market demands, and the number of available nominations.
– Application Invitation: Candidates chosen in these draws will receive an email invitation to apply for their respective worker stream, moving them closer to securing a nomination.

Understanding the New Alberta PR Points Grid

The Worker EOI points system determines eligibility and ranking for draws. Here’s a simplified breakdown:

– Education (Max 22 points): More points are awarded for higher education—doctorates get 12 points, master’s 10, and bachelor’s or trades certificates/diplomas 7. Completing education in Alberta adds 10 points, while studying in other Canadian provinces adds 6.
– Language Proficiency (Max 13 points): A minimum CLB 4 in English or NCLC 4 in French is needed. Higher language scores earn up to 10 points, with an extra 3 points for bilingual ability.
– Work Experience (Max 21 points): At least 12 months of work experience earns 11 points. Canadian work experience in Alberta adds up to 10 more points.
– Age (Max 5 points): Those aged 21-34 get the full 5 points, with fewer points for other age ranges.
– Family in Alberta (Max 8 points): Immediate family ties in Alberta add up to 8 points.
– Economic Factors (Max 31 points): Job offers in Alberta, especially in key sectors or rural areas, can earn significant points, with regulated occupations adding up to 10.

How the Worker EOI System Operates

Candidates submit their qualifications via the AAIP portal, providing details that will be scored using a points grid. This grid evaluates factors contributing to a total score out of 100. Once submitted, candidates enter the Worker Stream pool, where regular draws will be held starting mid-to-late October 2024. There’s no urgency to submit immediately after the system opens.

September 2024 CEC Express Entry Draw: 4,000 Candidates Invited for PR

Author By EUIC Admin Categories Express Entry

Dear future neighbour,

On September 19, 2024, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held its first Express Entry draw of the year specifically targeting candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). In this draw, a total of 4,000 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency were issued, marking a significant step for many international graduates and skilled workers in Canada.

Targeting Canadian Experience Class Candidates

This draw was notable for its exclusive focus on the CEC, a program designed for individuals who have gained work experience in Canada. The CEC is particularly attractive to international students and temporary foreign workers, as it recognizes their contributions to the Canadian labor market and offers a pathway to permanent residency.

To qualify, candidates needed a comprehensive ranking system (CRS) score of 509 or higher. The CRS is a points-based system used to assess and score profiles in the Express Entry pool, considering factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. A score of 509 indicates a competitive standing in the pool, and receiving an ITA is a significant achievement for these candidates.

Successful applicants will gain access to a range of benefits, including the ability to live and work anywhere in Canada and access to healthcare and social services.
