Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

I received the ITA on 12th July and then later got the results for my French language exam. Can i add the results in the post ITA application as I have not mentioned them in the Express Entry? This addition will change my score by adding 6 points to the original score. I was hoping the results would be helpful when my application will be reviewed by the visa officer.

Thank you for your help.

Once you get an ITA increasing your CRS score does not give you any advantage. All they want to make sure is that you are above the minimum.
So to answer your question, there is no harm in adding it, since you have put in a lot of work, but it wont make a difference.

If you choose to add it, make a note of it in your LOE.

All the best

Ok. Now I am confused.
When I submitted my EE profile, I put my highest education Masters, and my wife's two masters. I did not put any Bachelors and class 10/12 information. Since I read that it's understood that Master superseded Bachelors. Should I withdraw my profile my EE , edit it with Bachelors info and submit again?

P.S - Our WES evaluation contains both our Bachelors and Masters information, and says Canadian equivalent to Master and Double Masters respectively.

Hi,

Dont get yourself confused. What you did is ok, dont withdraw, just edit and it will be updated. Under education history enter everything you have an ECA for (your Bachelors and Master). Dont put class 10/12.

With regards to your points, they wont change as the system gives points for your highest level of education.

Hope that makes it clear.

This is incorrect. For the Federal Skilled Worker Program they only want your post-secondary education. In other word, only what you have an ECA for.

Thanks for this and not sure if anyone else got stuck with tbese.

1. I and my wife are BTech. So while filling the education history, little unsure if we need to start updating from 10th class data onwards , or just the graduation details would do? Basically are we to upload three rowas I.e for 10th, 12th and BTech?

2. Application uses words 'Secondary' and 'post secondary'. So is Secondary 10+2 I.e class 12th?

3. One of the options under level of education is 'secondary diploma(high school graduation)'. So is this 12th?

4. While entering the details for point 3, will we give start date as that from 11th class I.e 10+1 or it is start date of class 12th?

Sorry if these sound redundant or confusing... But that's how I am seeing this.....COMPLEX

If you or anyone can please guide.

For proof of funds , do i need to get a certificate from CA stating all my accounts and their details in one document or should i upload separately ??
I have heard some has a document from the CA.

No, you dont. They are only concerned about the account(s) which has(have) the required funds. They are not doing analyzing your net-worth, all they want to know is that you have the minimum required funds. So if the funds are in 1 account only give details of that account in the form of a bank letter which includes the following information:
"Document requirements

• The applicant should provide an official letter(s) from one or more financial institutions that lists all current bank and investment accounts as well as outstanding debts, such as credit card debts and loans.
  • o The letter(s) must be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution and must include the applicant’s name, the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and email address), the account numbers, the date each account was opened and the current balance of each account as well as the average balance for the past six months.
• Other documents may also be requested, as necessary."

Greeting to all!
I joined this forum today and like some of my other friends here , am on the verge of submitting my EE profile with me being the primary member. My wife and 3 years kid are my dependents..

Two questions for your kind guidance (may be many would have asked it again and again - so please pardon me)

1. I have experience letter on company letter head (from my various companies), in line with NOC code 2171 for almost9 years. However my work ex is 13 years. In the EE profile should I quote my work history of 9 years only OR do I quote all 13 years. Learnt somewhere that for CIC anything above 6+years is in the same eye... so we should quote only that for which we can get the employer reference letter. I guess my 4 years of remaining experience should go later into PERSONAL HISTORY section (when ITA comes)

2. My wife won't be able to get any of her experience letters from the current and previous employers. She has 10 years experience. Again I learnt from someone that we should avoid writing her experience in EE profile if we cannot get the letter later. Instead we should keep her work ex as 0 now on EE and later add work ex into PERSONAL HISTORY. Moreover I think for a dependent if we are not claiming any Canadian work experience, then anyhow 0 years or 10years for a dependent does not matter.

Friends - how much do you agree with my understanding on point 1 and 2.

Many thanks and good luck to all !!

Hi,

As advised by @Kuchbhi , your understanding is correct. 9 years experiences is more than enough, and you wont get any points for your wife's foreign work experience so leave it out of you EE profile.

Urgent help needed pls , Does FBI PCC become invalid if we travel outside US after receiving the FBI PCC and before submitting the PR application?

I see no reason why it would become invalid.

Upto 24 hrs. Should be showing by now.

Hi Guys, I need urgent help.

I am trying to submit my EAPR. I have ECA for Two or more degrees. In my upload documents sections, there is an upload for certificate of qualification. What should I upload there? I do not have any certification or technical diploma. I have done 2 years bachelors, 2 years Master of computer science degree and 2 yrs Master of business administration degree. I haven't applied for any skilled trade category.
What should I do??
Need help urgently,
Thank you.

Hi,

I dont know if you have figured this out already. You must have answered yes to the question that asks if you have a certificate of qualification in your eAPR. Look for it and change it to NO.

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

Once you get PPR you have 30 day to submit your passport, so you can raise a CSE and submit both the old and new passport with a LOE.

Hi Friends,

I have a question regarding my ECA. My university's degree is not being evaluated by any of the evaluation bodies except IQAS and I have secured the ECA from them. I am just curious whether if its possible that I receive an ITA and IRCC rejects my ECA?

Thanks

Friends, can me and my wife have two separate profiles in the pool. Both being the primary applicants in their respective profiles?

Yes, it does state all, but it is the loans and investments relation to the account(s) with the funds that matters. If you take a close look at the purpose of POF you will see that all they want to know is that you have the minimum requirement.

"Purpose
To confirm whether the applicant meets the low-income cut-off (LICO), assessed by the amount of money they hold compared to the number of people in their family"

It's not to assess you complete financial position. So they will never know what you don't declare.
