Express Entry Step by step instructions.

My POF file is coming out to be 5MB, I've tried quite a few online tools to reduce the file size but this is the minimum the file can be compressed Due to balance statements of 6 months from multiple banks the number of pages have increased.

Do you guys know of a way out?

Hello experts,
I am a student studying in Canada and for proof of funds I have asked my mother and grandmother to give me gift deed. So, will it be fine if I put that into my Indian bank account?
Documents what I am planning to attach
1. Gift deed
2. Affadavit from mother and grandmom
3. My account certificate after amount has been added
4.Copy of cheque used

Do i need to add my mother & grandmother's account statement as well to show that they have not taken any loan and this amount just come out of their FD's.
Also do i need to show networth certificate of mom and dad?
And also do i still need to show my 6 months statement.
Thanks in advance

Dear Seniors need and advice regarding POF
All savings is in accompanied spouse account in Japan.
Japan does not allow having joint account.
Then what is the recommended way to show as POF.

Option 1
Transfer all money to primary applicant.
Attach a bank statement of spouse.
But in Japan we cannot make an affidavit saying will not ask to return money.

Option 2
Keep the money in the spouse account.
And attach a spouse bank statement.
Also mention in LOE, that spouse will be accompained to Canada.

Option 3
Transfer all money to parents in India.
They make a gift deed.

Guys please suggest.

Hi,

1) You can use funds that are in your spouses account, all she will need to do is sign a notarized affidavit giving her full consent to the use of these funds for immigration purposes.
- Note CIC require a letter from the bank. Bank statements are only needed if you fail to get the letter.
- FD's can also be used as Proof of funds.

2) Yes, its correct. You can move it to personal history and explain why you have done so in your Letter of explanation.

All the best

Thank you for responding. Very helpful, clears up a lot of things

Hi,
Have you tried smallpdf ?

Try compressing it on https://smallpdf.com/ , save the file, then compress it again. should work and give you decent quality.

Hi,

We have got all my documents complete and ready but for one.

I am the dependent in our PR application. I was having difficulty in obtaining the experience certificate from my current employer so I asked them that I needed the experience certificate for a correspondence course from a Univ in England. My employer has agreed to issue a letter confirming my employment however has refused out-rightly to mention job responsibilities. Also, it would be mentioned on the letter that 'This is letter is being issued in respect of the distance learning course from XYZ University in England ....' etc.

- Would this letter be of any use to me? How do I explain my situation.
- How big an impact would this make on my chances to get PR? (all my other documents are complete)

As a positive I have all payslips and tax forms, appointment letter, increment/promotion letter, business card etc from this employment...and in addition to my appointment letter I have a brief note on my job responsibilities issued to me at the time of joining (7 years old and the letter is on the letter head but not stamped)

Pl advise

Thank you

Hello every one ,
I am in the process of creating my express entry profile. I am stuck at "Primary occupation" section.
My work history is as follows
Jan 2013 - Jan 2015 - System Analyst role - NOC - 2171.
Jan 2015 - current - Application Developer role - NOC -2174

In the occupation section - It is mentioned to select the NOC code and my application will base on that code. Please see below wording from Express entry website which I encountered while creating my profile

Primary occupation (4 digit NOC Code)Find your NOC page to learn more.

This means the job XXXXX ( my name) has experience in and wants to base the immigration application on. This is how we will determine your eligibility for federal programs. You will need to know the job title and the NOC for the primary occupation and for any other jobs you add, as well as for any job offer

Question :

1. Should I mention 2171 or 2174 ? for primary occupation NOC code?

2. If I give 2171, my current role's NOC code is not taken into consideration, but If I give 2174, my past experience wont be counted .
Could any one please advise me on this.

Here is what happened in my case. I initially submitted an ee profile on friday and realised that i made a mistake, i tried updating it and i was not really sure if my application is going to update or not. So i have created an other gckey and revoked my previous login. This time i submitted my profile without any mistakes. However, the status of application says " your application is pending". And job bank registration says not required. Its been 20 hours since i submitted the new profile.

Also, iam still getting the new message notifications to my email which are related to my initial profile which was already withdrawn.

Can anyone please suggest?

Hey People,
Can some help on travel history about Schengen Territory?
I have been to Portugal 4 times from India. Since, there is no direct flight between India-Portugal, I always boarded connecting flights to Portugal from Germany (Frankfurt, Munich), Switzerland (Zurich) and Belgium (Brussels) and vice versa for returning. I have arrival/departure stamps on my passport from these countries and not from Portugal (since they were the entry/exit points in Schengen area).
My concern is shall I include these entry/exit countries in my travel history, even if I was there at the airports only for 3-4 hours?

Regards,
Shyam Chopra

Hi Mkranthi,

1. You should mention your current NOC code i.e. 2174
2. Further down in the profile you'll be asked to fill-out your employment details. so there you should break-it-up as

Jan 2015 - current - Application Developer role - NOC -2174
Jan 2013 - Jan 2015 - System Analyst role - NOC - 2171

i.e. the current NOC first then the previous.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!!

So, while claiming points for Experience, how will Express Entry consider as one could gain maximum points for experience, if it is greater than 3 years. Here in this case, he would have only 2 years in NOC 2174, how will this work out here? I am also in the same situation
