Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[paryant22]

Hi all,

I have recieved ITA and currently in the process of collecting documents for submitting my eAPR.

I had a question -

Prior to getting ITA in my CIC form I had declared to get CAD 20,000 in proof of funds (2 family members).

Things are tight financially, now can I show the funds as CAD 15,312 as that is the official funds which CIC expects for 2 family members.

If I change the proof of funds to CAD 15,312 as per CIC requirements, will my ITA get affected, as i committed CAD 20,000 initially.

Please advise

Hi,

No it wont. All they want to see is that you have more than the minimum requirement. You can just make a note of the change in your LOE.

Hello,

I am new here. I'm filling up my express entry profile and would like some help please. I studied and completed my bachelor degree in 2016 here in Canada. I started the degree in 2010. I was off for a year and some semesters were full time and some were part time.

My question is what should i fill in for the section: Complete/full academic years?

and Full-time/part-time study?

Thank you

Hi Experts !

One of the Immigration consultant told me that one who scores 8 and plus band in IELTS gets a priority in ITA. Pls confirm if this is true ?

Hello,

Can you also advice on the Photograph part ?

Can this be taken from anywhere ? I understand that we need to scan it and upload. But whats the purpose of name and details mentioned on the back side ?

All purpose is that I have a DSLR and can click it myself with white background instead of spending $50 on this ? But if it has a logic or purpose, then i will get it done from somewhere. please advise

Thank you

Hi,

This depends on what the University called you. Enter what they referred to you as.

Thank you for your reply. The university transcript and other documents does not mention full time or part time. Also, the program was a 4 year program which i started in 2010 and finished in 2016. What should i put?

There are 2 photograph requests. The first is for the picture you scan and upload in eAPR. Follow these instructions:

Frame size

• The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35mm x 45mm.
• The photographs must show a full front view of the head and tops of shoulders, with the face in the middle of the photograph.
• The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31mm and 36mm.
• Digital dimensions are often expressed in pixels or DPI (dots per inch). The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540.

Quality/resolution

If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.

File format

• The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.
• The final size of the image should ideally be 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.
• The image must be in colour (24 bits per pixel) in RGB colour space, which is the common output for most digital cameras.

Request 2, is the one which needs to be taken by a professional photographer. You get it with PPR and you send hard copies together with your passport. Follow these instructions:

Part-time. This does not make a difference. What is important is that you completed the degree.

Hi,

The way your consultant has put it is inaccurate. What happens is that if you get scores of L8 R7 W7 S7 you get more CRS points for language and transferable skills. So people with such high Language score tend to have higher overall CRS scores, which means they tend to get ITAs faster.

Play around with this tool and see: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

Hope that is clear.

Thanks for reply.

Does this mean that I can upload a digital picture right now which meets the criteria for uploading in eAPR and then later when i get PPR, then get a new one clicked from a professional photographer ?

Thank you again!

 

[cr7don]

Yes, put the number of years it took you to complete it.

Alright, Thanks a lot!
