Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[whimsical]

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question. I am checking my CRS score and it is asking for my age. my birth date is 13th of October, 1986. Should I fill in 30 years old, or 31 years old. I already completed my 30th and now I running into my 31. I know it is a silly question but about 7 points difference that will result based in the input.

BR,
PT

Try submitting your application before you turn 31 (i.e. before 13-Oct-2017). This way you won't lose points.

Good Luck !!

Hi all,

I have a question to ask

I received an ITA on May 31st and I have my medical done on June 5th. But now I discovered a mistake in my Express Entry profile.

In the express entry profile, the work experience I entered were from 2008/9 - present, but in fact it should be from 2008/9 - 2014/4
This was foreign work (USA) for 20 hours/week.

It should not affect my CRS score. Even if it affected the score using some weird calculations, my CRS score is still higher than the cutoff score (413)
As this is my mistake, not "change of situation" as described in the website, should I
1) Attach a letter of explanation and continue with the current ITA? or
2) Decline the ITA and hope they draw soon. And attach an LOE saying I have done the medical before the upcoming ITA?

Thanks

IMO, if this does not affect your CRS, a LOE would suffice.

Good Luck.

Hi Guys,
(This question may sound stupid)......
I'm currently in the process of scanning and uploading the docs. when I scan the docs normally, with the brightness and contrast kept at default (0 adjustments), the resulting pics aren't clear. they somewhat look like black and white docs.

Obviously when I increase the contrast while scanning the colours are prominent and clear. My worry is will it be a problem if I increase the contrast and scan the docs; will the VISA officer consider it as tampering or altering the docs?

Further, has anyone used Camscanner via the phone? is it acceptable?

While scanning try increasing the dpi, this will result in a clearer scanned copy.

And use software such as SmallPDF to reduce the size of the file, before uploading it.

I did increase the dpi. So increasing the contrast is not a good idea is it?

The whole point is, the Case Officer should be able to review your documents without much stress.

As they say, first impression matters.

Imagine you providing not legible documents, it could effect your application decision. Just make life simpler for them, which will only benefit you.

Do what you have to do for that. (increasing contrast, increasing dpi, .. the works)

Good luck !!

Can someone please clarify:
I have more than 10 years of experience out of which I have mentioned only my experience of 4 years in Work history (which is with my current employer). There is no other section, as of now, where I can mention the remaining experience which I will not claim for points. so what should I do ? will it be considered as a misrepresentation?

Hey guys, I need to ask a question, I have received my AOR on 27.04.2017 and I have already paid my RPRF fee in every thread I keep reading that their medical test is done and RPRF fee is being paid, while all my procedures have been filed and uploaded on the CIC website post which I received the AOR, does this mean that my verification is complete and if not do they let us know what stage is the verification at as there is no time stamping in this process. also how much time do you reckon It will take for them to issue a PR and request for my passport for stamping.

Use the Personal History for the works which you are not claiming points for.

Enter the balance 6 year work experience in the Personal History.

Good luck !!

After AOR .. the first step in our applications are for Medicals (passed or not). This is presently taking 60-65 days from the AOR date (For FSW Outland applicants).

If you are CEC Applicant .. medicals take about 30 days from AOR date, as per current trend.

Lot depends up on your stream. And of course, where you currently stay, documents which you uploaded, etc.

But i think we have to give CIC the six month wait before we get the PR.

P.S.: you could probably start asking the status from 4 months of your AOR.

Good luck !!

Hi Friends.
I received ITA and now in the process of filling up the Online Application form. I need your advise regarding Medical.

My family (spouse + kid) not accompanying this time. Do I have to do our medical (myself+spouse+kid) upfront form the panel physicians before submitting our applications ? OR I have to wait from CIC for further instructions?

Please advice.

Thanks!

All medicals must be done upfront.

Regards

Hi everyone! new here...I want to apply for EE and have almost everything done - the language tests, the NOC, everything. However, I am currently getting my degree evaluated. It's taking a bit of time, and I was wondering if I could go ahead and create my profile without the evaluation, then add it in 1 month or so when it will be done....

thanks in advance!

Hi,

Unfortunately you can not create an EE Profile without ECA reference number. So you will have to wait.

Hi All,

I have just registered my EE profile. My CRS score is 430 and I am waiting for ITA.

I have few doubts, I hope that esteemed and experienced members here can help

1 :- There are 2 upcoming events that would reduce my CRS score. Firstly, my Wife's IELTS validity will expire by July end. Secondly, My birthday , in about 5 months.
So my question is at what point (ITA, AOR,...), it does not matter if my CRS score is getting reduced ?
Or in other words after what step my CRS score will be freezed by IRCC.

2 :- All the ID proof's (Passport, VoterID, AAdhar) of my spouse displays her address before marriage . We do have marriage certificate that shows her address and mine. Do I need to get the address changed in all proof and make them same as mine ?

3 :- NOC related, I am computer engineer for 11 years and since last 4 years I have taken up mgmt role as well. My designation reads Manager....
Should I pick NOC for computer engineer or 0213 --> computer systems manager ?

4 :- For POF, I have all amount in form of cash and FD in a bank. Would a account statement of last 6 months be suffice?

Your kind guidance and suggestion would be most helpful.
