According to the website, these are the selection factors:
  • your skills in English and/or French (Canada’s two official languages),
  • your education,
  • your work experience,
  • your age,
  • whether you have a valid job offer, and
  • your adaptability

Apparently express entry gets processed "... in six months or less in 80% of cases."
The problem is that our work experience will not count. Unlawful presence does not count as experience. You could have been an astronaut, cured cancer and your work experience would not count if you were in the US without lawful status. No, DACA does not count for their purposes.

This is good news because between both parties - we are talking about endorsement from almost half a million souls!

Should everyone does the same thing so that we will have more endorsements from creditable sources?

Wait, so even if DACA does not count, how are we then considered "unlawful" if we do technically have lawful status under DACA?

Because we don't have a status
We don't have lawful or legal status but presense

Presense is our status which isn't a status at all. Just ask the SC they had a good time defining it

Unfortunately no, it does not count. I have 10 years of engineering experience, part of it working for a fortune 10 company dealing with state of the art technologies but my experience in the field does not count towards the Canadian immigration program because I do not have lawful status.



It is quite tragic...


I have been considering Canada for a while but the truth is that there is no easy way into Canada for us.


I am not saying it is impossible, but the risk of failure is high with no guarantees of a temporary stay. For some of us it might be worth to try.


I just want you guys to be realistic with this option.
