Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Hi all,

I managed to get my application reopened (initially was deemed not complete - but lodged a case and it was reopened) but while I was waiting to hear back after lodging a case I created a new profile and got an invitation. Now my question is should I withdraw the application not submitted as my initial one has been reopened?

Thought CIC would automatically close it when they reopened the old one ..

Any help would be appreciated ..

Hi,

Yes, reject the ITA.

Regards

Hi All,
Need some help / advice. I had submitted my application on 5th Sep exactly a month after I got my ITA. It's been 2 months that I did not get any email from CIC thereafter (apart from one alert that my medical has been updated). Yesterday I decided to write to their office to inquire about my application status. They informed me that my 'ready for visa' email was sent on 22nd Sep !! I have not received this mail neither in my spam. Do you think they will re-issue it ?

Hi,

It must be a technical fault. You can raise a CSE or write back asking them to resend the PPR.

All the best

hello people hope you can help me with the below,

i am currently residing in Kuwait for work and am of Lebanese nationality. for proof of fund i have an account in Lebanon with the amount required. however in kuwait i have another bank account for salary purposes and have a car loan. would i have to provide both bank accounts statements or only the one that covers the required amount. If they take it as a total of all accounts then i would below the required range required. although it is a car loan and if i get a confirmation and when i will be willing to land in canada and live there i will be selling the car i own that will cover my loan.

so not sure what to do. in my job reference letter the company i work for have mentioned my account number that is my salary account with the loan. so little worried they might be skeptical of a missing document.

and lets say i only upload one bank account. would they reject my application right away if i have missing documents or will they contact me to provide them with the missing documents?

thank you for your help.

good luck to all.

I believe, you need to disclose both the accounts, not doing that will be considered as misrepresentation. The account in which your salary is deposited is a must, because anybody can guess in CIC that the applicant has not shown the account in which he receives the salary and they can smell something is fishy. So..i guess disclose it and try to come up with rest of the amount. You can use your provident fund(dont know what is it called in Lebanon) as PoF.

Hi,

I do not entirely agree. The purpose of POF is to show that you have more than the minimum required funds, so just showing the account with the funds will do.
The fact that they have put your account number in the reference kind of complicates things for you. Can you not ask them to remove it?

I have following qualification from two different UGC, AICTE, NAAC, BED certified universities in India -

• Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Engineering (4 years) from Mumbai University - On campus mode
• Graduate diploma in Software Testing (6 months) from IGNOU - Correspondence/online mode

I wanted to know with above mentioned qualification which of the following options I'm allowed to opt for express entry profile -

1. Post-secondary program credential of three years or longer - 120 points
2. Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer - 128 points

Note: Please note that I have two qualifications i.e. one Bachelors degree (4 years) and one graduate diploma (6 months).

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

This depends on what you ECA says. If both qualifications are assessed as you have written you can claim 128 points.

Hello all..

I just have few queries regarding my employment records...

I am providing following documents to prove my employment: 1. selection letter, 2. reference letter (monthly salary mentioned), 3. Consolidated statement of fellowship/salary for three years (as I was a post doctoral fellow).

So, should I include the bank statements demonstrating the deposition of these salary cheques in my savings account. I do have all the statements ready with me (signed, stamped and scanned within 4mb limits). If i include all these statements, will it delay my application as I m giving too much information?

Please reply soon

Thanks a lot
Dr. Amit Trivedi

Hi Dr,

There is no harm in submitting everything you have. It it will make you feel at peace go for it. It wont delay anything.

@TanakaM ...Steveleb123 is saying that he is not planning to show the salary account to CIC. Moreover, that salary account also has a loan. CIC clearly says to mention all the accounts under your name and all the ongoing loans/debts. Thats why not mentioning that salary account could go against him

Please help. My current CRS is 453 if i include my previous experience and 428 otherwise. My previous employer paid me in cash and there are no salary slips either. I will be getting the Employment letter though with all the required things written. My query is what if CIC asked for salary slips or bank account statements of salary credit. It was a small scare firm. Your guidance is much appreciated.

Yes. You may get the answers you need.

Thanks! Do you have CIC's contact number? Can you share it please?

Hi,

I wrote to ircc and got to know that my application is in the Sydney CIO. How fast does this office process applications? And what is the next step from here? My status last changed to not applicable 2 on oct 10th but no updates since then.

Please help.

Thanks!

I hope your previous company must have official letterheads. If they do have then you should mention all the information required (working hours, full time, job duties) and explicitly mention that you were paid in cash and there is no salary account and get it signed/stamped. That will be fine

If the reference letter doesnt mention the salary account he wont need to mention it as all they want to know is whether you have more than the minimum required funds, not your net worth. That is why I asked if he can get them to remove the salary account from the letter.

Hi,

If the letter has all the required details there is no need for salary slips, so dont worry.

All the best

CRS jumped to 458..did not expect that. I was predicting that i would be close to 430 keeping the recent trend in mind but CIC shocked me.
