Have some confusion on my CRS Score and would highly appreciate if anyone could highlight what is missing.
In June, a Canada based immigration lawyer took my details Viz., age, education, experience etc and told my CRS score is at 457 and I have high chance of getting an ITA. I didn't take IELTS back then and when asked, the immigration lawyer said he assumed an IELTS Score of 7.5 but did not elaborate whether 7.5 is for all tests LRWS or an overall score of 7.5.
Later, I started my preparations and now my IELTS Score is L-7.5, R-7, W-6.5, S-7.5, overall score Band 7. Now when I checked the CRS Score on CIC.GC.CA, My CRS score istands at 362 ( Age - 66 points, Education - 135 points, Skill Transferability &dforeign experience - 50 points and for IELTS - 111points).
I wanted to know how there is a difference of around 95 points in CRS score calculated by the immigration lawyer and the one that I calculated in cic.gc.ca ? Even If the immigration lawyer meant I need to scored 7.5 in all tests in IELTS, would that have added 95 additional points in CRS score? My experience is - 10 years in Banking and I selected 0122 as NOC Code for Banking while creating EE Profile. Is it like the immigration lawyer selected another NOC Code that made him to arrive at 457 CRS Score when he made an eligibility assessment? In either cases i.e., when details given to the immigration lawyer and when I calculated CRS score, I have mentioned that spouse is not coming and also mentioned same amount of funds. I would appreciate if someone can take a look and clarify what is missing. Thank you.
I am planning to submit my Express Entry profile and had a couple of queries. Hope, experts on this profile can help me out with these.
1) I have nearly 9.8 years of experience. Out of this, I have reference letters for around 9.4 years. 4 months back, I changed my job and have worked for the current org for just 3 months.
Do I need to declare this in my work history or, I can just declare till 9.4 years.
I do think we can declare just that exp for which we want to claim points but, what is confusing me is the language on the work history section of the profile which says"You must keep your profile uptodate and mention any job changes etc"
Please guide me on this.
2) On the reference letters, my orgs have mentioned just my last designation(They did not include titles held). I do have designation change letters hope, this should not be an issue with CIC later.

IELTS makes a lot of difference. Individual IELTS scores matter and have compounded effect as, it increases/decreases scores from other factors like education etc. You can try to increase your L to 8 and W to 7 while entering on CRS tool and check what you are getting.
Overall IELTS Band is not the only factor.
Hope this helps.

I received my ITA and i am currently waiting for my US PCC which i hope to get by november 1st week and i will then apply. I am an Indian citizen but due to work i need to travel to germany from october to december 15th.
So my question is, can i submit my application while i am in germany or does it have to be from India? is there any place where we have to mention my current location?
Also is there anything extra that i need to do to explain my case? if so how?
I have a query regarding the passport details as i have completed my profile for Express Entry.
Is it mandatory to have a spouse name on the primary applicant's passport?
In my case my spouse has my name in the spouse name column as she got her passport recently issued(co-applicant has the spouse name). Whereas, I(Primary applicant) do not have the same on my passport. Will this be a road blocker if i receive an ITA?
Thanks for the information, I did live in US over 5 years and now I am in India, So was looking if someone can give some details regarding how can I initiate the process for FBI PCC in Bangalore! Maybe experts can provide me a link to the thread or can let me know! Thanks in advance
You must fill out the applicant information form and obtain a set of your fingerprints.
Please mail your completed fingerprints card along with a certified cheque or money order for the applicable processing fees, payable to the U.S. Treasury (see Special notes and considerations for complete address).
The FBI will send you a letter with the results of your record check. That letter will be your police certificate. You should send the letter and any attached documents to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada office processing your file.
Please note that FBI-approved channeler service is only available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
P.S - It might not be a bad idea to contact US Embassy in India to get some clarification

I do think we can declare just that exp for which we want to claim points but, what is confusing me is the language on the work history section of the profile which says"You must keep your profile uptodate and mention any job changes etc"
Please guide me on this. You can include till 9.4 years. Or how-so-many years for which you have reference letters in CIC prescribed format, so long as the total length is greater than 3 years it doesn't matter. So if you provide 4 years or 9.4 years it's not going to affect your CRS score under Work History while filling your Express Entry
The period of your employment for which you don't have reference letter, should do under Personal History in your PR application post ITA.
2) On the reference letters, my orgs have mentioned just my last designation(They did not include titles held). I do have designation change letters hope, this should not be an issue with CIC later. Cannot say for sure, So long as you have reference letters containing information CIC seeks, you should be fine. Your offer/appraisal/resignation letters with your payslips could be added proof that you are genuine and that you represented your work ex under correct NOC.
P.S. - These are just my 2 cents, I am in the same boat and preparing to fill my PR post ITA
Thanks in advance

I have a query regarding the passport details as i have completed my profile for Express Entry.
Is it mandatory to have a spouse name on the primary applicant's passport?
In my case my spouse has my name in the spouse name column as she got her passport recently issued(co-applicant has the spouse name). Whereas, I(Primary applicant) do not have the same on my passport. Will this be a road blocker if i receive an ITA?
Don't overthink it. There is no mention of having spouse's name on anyone's passport on CIC website. When you fill your EE profile only primary applicant's passport details are asked. Secondary applicant's passport details will be asked in PR post ITA. So two individual passport details with their unique number. Since you are only thinking the scenario where both Husband /Wife have Indian passport thus their names should be added in each other's passport. What if Husband is from India and let's say Wife has passport of Sri Lanka?
In any case you will have a Marriage certificate to show for, and it may be asked in PR application post ITA.
P.S - If your passport doesn't have your wife's name you cannot do anything about it. Unless you want to apply for a new passport. Worry about things which are in your control
Cheers!

Thanks a lot bud! I was wondering if I can pay through my credit card and take a print out and send along with fingerprint card and application form to FBI? I can avoid check or money order in that way!

You can't pay via credit card beforehand but, when you download your application and fingerprint card, download the FBI Credit Card payment form too and complete it, then send it along with your completed application and fingerprint card. The FBI will charge your credit card when they process your application.
(It's also a great way to track your application since you'll know the FBI is about to start processing your application and your PCC is 2 - 3 weeks out, when you see the credit card charge come up)
Hello everyone, i received an invitation yesterday but i am worried because my partner passport will expire in February 2018,i already booked an appointment to renew it. Is it advisable to submit the application with my current passport and later raise CSE when i receive the new or i should wait and use the new one. Regards
