Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Thanks TanakaM,

Could you please expand on "get all their documents fast"? What documents do I need? As per my understanding I need 1) IELTS 2) WES 3) Police Verification 4) Medical (to be triggered after ITA) 5) Proof of funds 6) Experience letter (Does having offer letter, appraisal letter, resignation letter counts as experience letter)?
Again, sorry for the newbie querries.

Go to this thread for more details on the documents needed:

Hi members,
I have a question, I did my Masters in Quebec and then got a CSQ from there. After that I got a job in Ontario and moved here WITHOUT applying for PR from Quebec, now I am planning to apply for Express Entry from Ontario. Though I have a question should I somehow cancel my CSQ before applying for Express entry, if yes how?

P.S: I was not able to find any thread with a similar query if you know about it give me a link.

Thank you

Hi ,
I know it's difficult to wait ( I was also nominated on dis date ) but there will not be any update for 1 month or even more .... But just keep checking your email regularly incase visa officer demands something .....

I know dis bcoz my previous application had an update after 1.5 month but it was rejected bcoz of pcc reason .... So I have applied again ...

I hope dis would your anxiety level to sum extent ..,

Hi Priyanka,

Can you please let me know what was the reason, related to PCC, because of which your PCC was rejected? Thanks

Hi,

For proof of funds ,we are providing bank statement for the last six month period and also balance certificate from the bank.Is it necessary to mention the account open dates and account open balance as well from the bank?

 

[RV23]

Also do we have to upload the digital photo as well along with the documents?
If yes then what are the specifications for it ?

 

[RV23]

Also should we pay the RPRF fee upfront? If yes, then what is the procedure to pay it ?

Hi all,
I got the ITA and now i am in the process of filling my e-APR. I have a question regarding the PCC, i am originally from Chandigarh but now i am in Bangalore as i am working here. My passport has the home address i.e. Chandigarh. Do i need to get PCC from both the places or just Chandigarh would be fine?

get it from passport office, that will cover for entire country.

if you get a local PCC, then you need a PCC for each and every city you have lived in... best to get PCC from passport office - they dont mention city or town, its quite generic and will cover entire country.

While filling up the application, you should have received a personalized checklist. This checklist has all the details, on the checklist there'll be a help button (clickable question mark) for each line item, I'll take a print of the instructions on the help button as it has all the details for items needed for that line item. Some answeres to your questions:

• Yes ePhoto has to be uploaded at the time of filling for AOR. There's no need to write name, address of photo studio etc. Ignore the last section of the document posted at this link. Specs are here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
• Yes, you have to mention when the bank account was opened. Most private banks have a set format for this which includes the date when the account was opened. Account opened balance not needed.
  
• No need to pay RPRF fees upfront, once the time comes, CIC informs to pay the fees.

Hope this helps

Dear Seniors,

I am about to submit my PR application tonight. however, I have a small issue. My current POF amounts to 1,582,000 Sri Lankan Rupees, which amounts to almost 13,000 CAD. The requirement is 12,300 CAD.

However, the CAD to LKR rate has been increasing quite rapidly during the past 4-6 weeks. 1 CAD was 115 LKR a month back and now its 121 LKR. and the maximum that it can go in order for me to be in the safe zone is 129 LKR. which I think would in a couple of months.

The only way I can increase my fund is to get another gift from my mother, which would push my application date further by 2 or 3 days. what do you suggest ?

Hi all,

My agents are still saying the EE system will only give me points for 2 years experience. :-(.. I am applying for FSW
My experience is 1.8 years then a year break then 1.7 years. All in same company and NOC. They say 8 months and 7 months cannot be considered since it dont meet a year and system pushes it and take only 2 years since I have a gap.

Anyone with such an experience.. I am getting lots of opinion.. People who had such instances or created Ee profile might know well..please help me clarifying. Thanks

once you submit your PR application and get AOR, your profile freezes.. and whatever information you give them will be based on date of AOR

to give 2 examples

1 - If IELTS is expiring after 10 days, and you submit PR application today - no need to rewrite IELTS as it was valid when you applied.
2 - If you have 2 yrs 11 months experience at time of AOR, and you claim 3 years thinking it will be 3 yrs by the time you get PR - then its not valid since at time of AOR it wasnt 3 yrs

hope that helps.

I'm 95% certain it will count 3+ years, but why dont you create a profile online yourself and see what happens ?
