Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[vkumar7077]

Just merge all the pages. IRCC can figure out what the document is when they see it. Some people provide contents pages and indexes and title pages but, honestly, my advice is to just keep your application as simple as possible and submit only what is needed. The more you give IRCC, the more they'll have to read and go through and the more you'll delay your processing. The only documents needed for the educational section are the copy(ies) of your degree(s), notarized translation of your degrees if they're not in English, the ECA score report, and the IELTS score report. Don't think you need to upload marklists.

Thanks a lot!!

hey guys. My AOR is june 10 and I have been on IP1 since july 7. I got my gcms note on september 28 and i noticed my criminality check hadn't been done. Am in the London VO whatsapp chat group and everyone there is telling me that is really weird and that my criminality should have been done in CIO. Every other person in my chat group who posted snippets of the gcms note showed that their criminality was done at CIO yet mine is not the case. Most people in my AOR are either in NA or IP2 status and yet am still in IP1. It really baffles me. My due date was October 6 and till today i haven't seen any updates.

Just wanted to find out if anyone is in a similar place as me or if anyone has had their they criminality done in their VO rather than CIO or better yet just help make sense of my situation. Thanks

There's no 'minimum CRS Score', although you will need to meet eligibility requirements under the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) programme, Canadian Experience Class (CEC) programme, or Federal Skilled Trades (FST) programme, in order to participate in Express Entry (which is an umbrella programme for all 3 for those programmes).

However, the general consensus right now is that one needs to have a score of at least 435 to be likely to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency. The CRS Score Cut-off for the last draw was 438, and the scores this year so far have fluctuated between 413 and 449, since about February or March.

Please note as well that you don't technically 'apply' for Express Entry. You submit an Express Entry profile as an 'expression of interest'. Only if you get an Invitation to Apply (ITA), can you APPLY for permanent residency through the Express Entry programme.

Thank you for reply

In this case I need more points. So I will apply for nova or SiNP But do I need to creat ee profile first ?

Or I can apply in nova program without ee profile

And I need any WhatsApp group for nova society program

Thank you in advance

Hi Expert,

I have a question about the CSR. I have work experience here in Canada from Dec 2012 to Feb 2015. I am not qualified for the Canadian Experience Class as I do not have at least one year of experience in the last 3 years. However, it seems that I do get some scores for my experience even I am fell under the Federal Skill Worker class. Is that correct? Can any one please advise how can this happen?

Thanks,
Louie

Hi,

Yes, you should get 46 points for your Canadian work experience.
Use this tool to confirm: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

All the best

Hi guys.

I entered the express entry pool yesterday. My score is 427. Do you guys think the scores will come down from 438?

Hi,

427 is not a bad score. I think you will get an ITA by February. Could be sooner, you never know.

Hi Friends,

My Score is 465. Now i am planning to upload profile in the database. But i have couple of questions:
1. Right now i have CAD 8000 in my account. I can arrange the rest of the money. So my question is if i get ITA, then i would have to submit the last 6 months of bank statements. I have deposited this CAD 8000 just three months back. So can CIC question that ? Or i should wait for another 3 months before applying ?
2. From Feb to July 2017 I was in USA. Do i need to get NOC from USA as well ?

Thanks,
Yogesh

Is there a limit on number of times you can attempt IELTS. I was told during visa interview they check number of attempts and can reject if it's too many.

1. I wouldn't recommend waiting if you have a qualifying CRS Score now. You never know what the average Draw CRS Cut-off could change to in the coming months. You can deposit the remaining amount and just provide documentation to show that it's a legitimate deposit and the money is yours free, clear and unencumbered, to use for settlement purposes (e.g. if you're getting money from a family member, get a Gift Deed to show that the money is yours and you won't have to pay it back).

2. Did you mean NOC or PCC? I assume the latter because I'm not sure what an 'NOC from USA' would be and why you would need it. You didn't provide proper dates, but one can assume that your February to July 2017 stay covered 6 months (unless you arrived at the very end of February and left at the very beginning of July), so yes, you will need to provide a PCC from the FBI.

Hi Friends,

Is there any prediction when Ontario is going to reopen again and start sending invitations for application?

Any prediction here will be really appreciable, thanks

• Also has a bachelor degree in Engineering (3 years length).

....did they say 'secondary school diploma' or POST-Secondary diploma? Because if it's the former, I don't think you can claim any points for it. You would have to go with 'Bachelor's Degree', I think. The 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees...' option refers to POST-secondary credentials. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
