Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Dear Members, Please help me out here.

I want to keep my wife as primary applicant in the Express entry profile since her age is less and IELTS score is better, so over all CIC score will be better.

But the issue is that her last name was different before marriage and her educational docs are with the previous last name.
Although current passport has both new name and spouse name added.

First question : Should we get her WEC evaluation done with previous last name. What is the impact.

Second : We visited USA twice. Once when she was not married with old passport and got SSN number as well.
Second time when we were married and with new passport and last name changed. Both times duration was more than 6months.
Will there be an issue while getting the police verification done from FBI ?


Third: What precautions should be take before creating her profile and applying for PR.

Hi,

Just get ECA done in her old name and then submit a marriage certificate and One and the same person affidavit (post-ITA). Here is a sample:

Won't be an issue with PCC, people change names all the time so its not a unique case.

Allright...
Thanks buddy !!

Hi @samchop86 , finally did you got the PCC from Portugal? I got mine (bilingual in portuguese/english) but there is a couple of words like my nationality country or the word "passaporte" that only came in Portuguese. Did you translated it? All the rest is in English too

Hi,

Step one is to calculate your CRS score: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp so that you know where you stand.
Then go to the Come to Canada page and take the quiz: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/getting-started.asp
You will get instructions on how to proceed from there.

All the best

Quick question guys. It is ok if the bank letter/statements are 2-3 weeks old at the time of submission? Thanks!

Hi,

Its not a stupid question at all.

One does not need to meet the educational requirements of the NOC, so you could even have a degree in History.

"Note: The applicant does not need to demonstrate that they meet the “employment requirements” listed in the NOC occupational description."
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/econ/fsw/minimum.asp

The most important thing when selecting an NOC is whether you have performed the duties in the lead statement and the majority of listed duties.

All the best

Hello:
Thanks for your respond and I really like it. Just out of curiosity, if the applicant does not need to demonstrate that they meet the “employment requirements” listed in the NOC occupational description then why is the employment requirement listed with NOC?
Thanks again for your time

Good question. The NOCs were not created for immigration purposes. They have many other functions. So IRCC is just one of the many users of NOC codes, hence they only use sections relevant to them.

Hope that makes sense.

Quick answer guys.lol

The more recent it is the better. However, 2-3 weeks is perfectly fine.

Hi Friends,

I am so grateful to let you know that I got my ECA result today. They gave me 3 years Diploma equivalence against my Bachelors. Hope I can get 120 points from it.

And I have a bad news too, I just have received my IELTS results today. I have received Speaking-7, Reading-7, Listening-8.5, Writing-6.5 only

I would have got an ITA in the next draw if not for the Writing 0.5 points reduction .

Anyway, at this point, do you think I should apply for review of my IELTS- writing results ? or reappear for the IELTS ?

About writing, I have completed both of my tasks after meeting the total word limits.

You guys have supported me all the way around, and I hope your advice will support me here too. Thank you so much. GOD bless you all.....

I have been in my home country from birth. Do I need a PCC covering the whole period from birth or just the period from the time I turned 18.

Hi,

Oh man, I'm sorry about your IELTS. I know how much it sucks. If you are confident in your work, you can go for the reassessment. Otherwise, study hard and retake the test.

Read the reply I sent to someone in the same shoes:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/ray-of-hope-66th-draw.496529/page-185#post-6098679

Anyway,

Congrats on the ECA, you will definitely get 120 points for it if you are single, and 112 if you have an accompanying spouse.

If they have to put a time frame, it must cover your adult life. So yes, since the age of 18.

Hi Tanaka,

Thank you so much for your reply, and nevertheless your inspiring words. I really hope that all turns up real quick from my side. MY CRS points are now standing at 387, so do you think the cut off points can come down to this level any time sooner ? I have to go through a lot if I have to retake my IELTS, and this is due to my tight schedules. And about the provincial nominee program, is it also logical for me to wait for this ?

& Thank you so much for all your replies, this is something that inspires us, the newcomers to keep fighting even if the situation seems quite distressful.

Its my pleasure hey.

I honestly do not see score going down that low. Well, at least in the near future. The IELTS test is literally your ticket in, so you can not give up. I did it on my 3rd attempt, so you can too.

Hi,

1)You should submit your Degree certificates, transcripts are not required. The ECA report is also not required as the use the reference number to verify. However, it is good practice to submit the following under the educational tab:
Degree Certificates
ECA report
IELTS certificate

2) Do the same for your wife.

3) This request is for those who have distance learning degrees. They are required to write (by correspondence) next to the name of the institution so that the officer knows they were not there physically. If you dont do this you may be rejected for not having PCC from that country.

4)Educational Background Information tab of GCMS just refers to the education section of your eAPR.

All the best

Dear Tanaka

Thanks a lot bro for ur reply..Regarding digital Photo-Apart from the specs of digital photograph, IRCC also want the applicant to add information like name and DOB of the person as well as the name and address of photo-studio where the picture was taken on the back of the photograph. My question is, how can we upload this information in a digital photograph? print the photo, add information on the back, scan and upload? Looks like a silly question to me ..just want to be sure of every little bits..

Lots of kudos
