Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Onpoint]

My husband is the main applicant.

I have work experience but not in Canada. Do I have to put it on our profile or can I put no? I read something about putting it in the e-APR. I'm not claiming any points and I don't want to have to ask them for an experience letter.

Is that allowed? Has anyone done it?

Don't show any work ex in your EE profile if you're not claiming any points for it. On e you get the ITA you can show it under Employment in Personal History.

Hi guys,

I received my ITA in the last month and my application and supporting documents are ready for submission except the PCC from one city where I stayed merely 5 months back in 2010 - 11. I have secured the PCCs for all other placed where I stayed throughout my life, within my country and abroad. Following are the details:

1. From birth till 2007 (City A) – Received PCC

2. From 2007 to October 2010 (City B) – Received PCC

3. From Oct 2010 – Feb 2011 (City C) – Waiting for the PCC for this duration.

4. From March 2011 – January 2013 (City D) – Received PCC

5. From January 2013 – January 2015 (Overseas) – Received PCC

6. From February 2015 – present (City D) – Received PCC.

I am waiting for the PCC from “City C”, as mentioned above, for the last one month as someone else, on my behalf, is following up the process. Not sure when I would be able to get it. This is a remote city in my country and travelling there cost me time, which I can’t afford at present. I wonder if it would be a problem submitting my application without my PCC from “City C” mention above. Please help.

Cheers!

Which country's city do you need the pending PCC from? Check the rules in case you just need one PCC for the country instead of one for each city.

Hey guys,

I have a question for one of my relative who is applying for Express entry. He has more than 1 year experience in Canada now and with his current profile and canadian experience the CRS tool shows score of 421. But it changes if i selected 0 experience in step 2 as follows:

1) In the process it ask do you have work experience in Canada - I selected 1 year or greater as he has that
2) The second step was how many years of total skilled work experience do you have - What should i select here ? 1 or 0. The only experience he has is the one he got in canada.

Also he has done one year full time certificate course and will use that as an educational qualifications. He is not doing evaluation with WES for Bachelors as he will not claim points for that. Will he be eligible?

He should select "0" if he doesn't have any foreign work experience.

Hi everyone! I'm interested to apply for express entry. I have Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) and have 1 year experience as an Office admin assistant at a school. Will this work experience be counted and I'll be given points? Or do I have to have relevant work experience in Accounting? Thanks.

Will be counted assuming your NOC is 0, A or B.

Will be counted assuming your NOC is 0, A or B.

Umm how will I know that? I have my degree from Australia

This is unrelated to your degree. You have to choose a NOC based on your duties and responsibilities, as long as your NOC is 0, A or B it will be counted as skilled work experience.

Hi everyone!

So I have a situation here, maybe someone has the answer:
I am a french Citizen, living/working in Toronto since feb 2014 under a Working Holiday visa (expires feb 2018).

I applied to a PR through Express entry (Canadian experience class) after invitation with 524 points.

PR application sent: 20 November 2017
Asked for complementary info about my travel history: 28 November 2017
File transferred from original CIC center to Etobicoke CIC office: 29 January 2018???

So my question is, Why are files transferred? also, my original visa is about to expire, I applied for a work permit temporary extension in process, what if it is not approved before my original work permit expires?

Thank you so much for any similar experience or extra info you might have!
Have a great day.

Urgent help required from expert/Senior members
NOC 4032-Elementary And Kindergarten teachers.
Can my work experience be both as an elementary teacher and kindergarten teacher or does it have to be in only one of the above? lets say i have 2 years Work experience as an elementary teacher and then a year as a Kindergarten teacher, will this be counted as 3 years of work experience?

Also does work experience while being a full time student at the same time in home country count for points towards Express entry?

Thanks

He should select "0" if he doesn't have any foreign work experience.

Thank you

Hi,

There is no requirement for one's education and work experience to match. So as long as your experience falls under skilled work experience (NOC A, B or 0) you will be awarded points.

Hi,

1 - Both count. So that will be 3 years of experience.
2 - Yes it does, as long as you were paid for the work and it was not part of the studies.

Please help with two more questions.

If you've never had a US student/work/ resident visa but you've spent a total of 6 months there since age 18 if you count up all your trips for vacation and work related courses there do you still need a US PCC?

How exactly do they determine if you need a PCC for a country? Do you have to list all of your travel since 18??
