Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Hello,

I have submitted my documents and now I need to get my passport renewed as its getting expired in Feb 2018.

My Questions :

1. how do I inform CIC about the new passport
2 Do I need to inform them of any international travel I do after submitting my documents ? I fyes, how ?

Thank you

Hi,

1) You can renew the passport and inform CIC via a case specific enquiry. You will see a link for this on your AOR.
2) There is no need to inform CIC of your travel post AOR.

All the best

So I am on the verge of submitting my EE profile, got two questions.
1) When I started my career in June 2007, My title was GET (Graduate Engineer Trainee) but I was doing work as Telecom Engineer (NOC 2147). In June 2008 My title changed to Engineer - Core Network and got a raise in salary. Responsibilities remained the same. In my opinion I should show my workex from June 2007 to June 2008. I know that CIC doesn't count apprenticeship, wondering if the word "Trainee" cause some confusion in their minds.

2) Do we get a trigger for Medical post ITA? Or is it advisable to get Medical done pre-ITA?

Well besides checking your account on the CIC website you can order GCMS notes which will give an indication of how far your application has gone.

Where to order GCMS notes, is there any link ? can you pass on?

Thanks!

If you have a letter showing that your title was changed, make it as separate entry. Otherwise, show this job as one complete tenure.

I had similar situation. I joined a company as GET and then after probation of 6 months I was designated as Engineer. I worked for the organization for 4years. Since I didnt get any letter for GET to Engineer, I have shown this employment as one entry and it worked well for me.

2) Do we get a trigger for Medical post ITA? Or is it advisable to get Medical done pre-ITA?
Once you will get ITA as part of document submission you will have to submit Medical Examination Acknowledgement that you will receive after you are done with medical. I would suggest to undergo medical once you receive ITA and keep that just days before you are to submit the documents because the validity of visa is tied to validity of medical and that is usually one year from date from medical exam conducted. Doing so will give sufficient time to plan your travel.

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and I am in the process of creating an express entry profile. I had a few questions that I hope someone here could help me with.

1) My NOC code
I work in Investment Banking Middle Office (Operations) as a Senior Analyst, not sure what my NOC code would be. I think my job duties overlap between 1112 - Financial and Investment Analyst & 1114 - Other Financial Officers. Is there anyone here in the same job profile as me and can possibly point me in the right direction? I visited a couple of consultants and they were not too sure either. I have also emailed The NOC Unit (Department of Employment and SOcial Development Canada), but no luck. They have mentioned that it is my prerogative to choose the most appropriate NOC code and they can only provide the resources but not actually tell me what NOC code would be the right one. I am hoping someone here can assist me in choosing the right NOC because I am really stuck.

2) Work Experience letter
The work experience letter that I have received from HR is in a pre set format which only includes my designation, corporate grade, CTC and start date. With regards to the number of hours, I can provide my offer letter which states that information. However, I am concerned about the most important part i.e job duties. A lot of applicants have said that a letter from a colleague/senior on a plain paper (not letterhead) signed by them along with the above documents should suffice. Just wanted to make sure if that is right?

I am hoping someone could help me with the above queries. Thanks in advance and good luck to all.

Hi,

1) It is difficult at times but it is indeed only you who can select the correct NOC. The key is to select an NOC in which you have performed the actions in the lead statement and performed the majority of duties. So in your case, look closely at the two codes and select the one in which you feel closely matches your experience.
2) I do not recommend getting a letter from a colleague. Get it from your superior on notarised plain paper (also ensure that the letter closely matches the duties listed in the NOC). Then add the official letter from HR offer letter and your payslips. This will be sufficient.

All the best

hi seniors
i have applied for pr but my dependent is not in the same country as me currently

So my question is that whenever we get the passport submission request - how can we submit passports at different vfs offices in different countries

I am primary applicant and my spouse is dependent
My spouse has a lot of travel due to work so

1) once we get the ppr request whenever we get it
- will I get a chance to submit my passport here in India and he can submit in the country he is in at that time
2) if cic asks both of us to submit at India then how can I get it changed for him to where he is for his passport submission.
3) can I call for his passport to India via post to submit in India ??

Jus trying to be aware before hand

Kindly help

Best regards

What if I receive PPR and new passport simultaneously ? To be hones, I am expecting this.

Hi Seniors,

I'm in process of creating my express entry profile. I'm working in Canada since May 2016 on ICT (inter company transfer). I have my letter of assignment and employer reference letter. But the question I have is regarding the address and details to be filled in under work experience section.
1) My letter of assignment (arrangement of employment/job offer) is issued by my India unit. My company head office is in Quebec. Should I mention India unit address as company address for job offer or user Canada head office address?
2) I will mention all my previous work experience details, no problem. But when it comes to current employer. Should I have 2 line items under work experience.
a) One for work experience in India from date of joining to date I left India and moved to Canada
b) One line item for work starting in Canada

If I follow above. What proof should I produce for work experience in India. As I'm still employee of same company, I do not have relieving letter.

If I select it as my current employer, then will not be able to select my work location as Canada from the time I moved to Canada.

Could some one please guide me on how to move forward...

What should I do??
Need help urgently,

Hey ppl,

I just submitted my EE. But it doesn't show any thing against CRS Overall score. How long does it take to reflect the CRS score in EE profile?

1) My letter of assignment (arrangement of employment/job offer) is issued by my India unit. My company head office is in Quebec. Should I mention India unit address as company address for job offer or user Canada head office address? On the ICT or a reference letter, does it mention Quebec address or India address? I would suggest using Quebec address since its a ICT.
2) I will mention all my previous work experience details, no problem. But when it comes to current employer. Should I have 2 line items under work experience.You could. Usually if you have any change in title or as in the case of ICT, change in address, then they should go on different line items.
a) One for work experience in India from date of joining to date I left India and moved to Canada
b) One line item for work starting in Canada

If I follow above. What proof should I produce for work experience in India. As I'm still employee of same company, I do not have relieving letter. Does your offer letter contain any mention of job duties, responsibilities, I would contain title and date of joining. So long as it contains job duties you can use that.

If I select it as my current employer, then will not be able to select my work location as Canada from the time I moved to Canada. Why? Aren't you giving it under two different line items?

Could some one please guide me on how to move forward...
