Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Eve 91]

Hi,
I have been working in Canada as a supply early childhood teacher, even though am a supply i work almost everyday with full time hours.
Want to know if my work experience and hours can be used to apply for express entry

Dear all, I have a valid international passport with one visa stamp. And I have three other expired international passports with other visa stamps. Should I upload my bio data from the valid international passport with other expired ones ?.....Please I need clarification ?....Thanks.

 

[puzokumar]

Thank you very much for your clarification,

However, if I clam for external audit experience (Code 1111 Financial auditors and accountants) as my working experience, Total experience length is 5 years, I could not obtain the max point under FSW (13/ 15) In order to obtain 15 points I need to claim for another work experience but this experience might not in the same primary code (1111). Please advise if It could be possible or not

Many thanks in advance for your comments

I am not sure I understand your question. And from what I have so far, if your work experience is 5 years in total of all the companies you have worked at. Below are your options

Mention all the experience
Get reference letter from all the companies
The JD, Roles and responsibilities in this business/ like of work usually overlaps but what remains common is its pretty much the same in any company.

75-80% match to the NOC is fine as well. What matters is you being honest about all of these roles and get letters that support the NOC guide.

Stick to one code it’s easy for everyone, plus any experience more than 3 years would add no value at all.

Hi, I'm new to forum and planning to apply to EE
can someone confirm are these all the documents that i need

1. ECA for my Bachelor
2. IELTS test scores
3. Job referral letter from employee(s) with description similar to NOC responsibilities
- i had working in 3 different companies with break in between, should i include all 3 of them , cause there as far as i read for EE is asking for continues work experience . Did i need to send (upload) work agreement that i had signed when started working in each companies.
Also I had a document proof from country official institution (for all employees in the country) where is written where i had work for how long and on which position. Do i need to translate this and send them.

4. birth certificate for all the family, including the children
5. medical exams for all 4 of us ( or only me and my spouse)
6. police certificate
7. proof of funds

I know that 2.IELTS tests are needed for my spouse, do we need to get 1.ECA for Bachelor and 3. job referral letters for my spouse also.

Thanks a lot for any help

Hi,
The documents that you need to submit largely depend on what you fill in the application.
But broadly, below r the documents that you should keep handy:
1. ECA for your bachelor -
2. Police certificate of all the countries where you have stayed for more than 6 months- there may be exceptions, details are given on CIC
3. Employment records- reference letter from all companies that you have worked for and declared in the application covering below points:

• Designation:
• Date of Joining:
• Roles and responsibilities - should be in line with the NOC that you are mentioning
• Type of Employment (Full time/permanent/part-time):
• Hours of Work/Week:
• Department:
• Annual Salary

Include all 3 companies that you worked for, cause your application will not accept gap in timelines.As long s you get a reference letter fro your employer with above details, no other docs are required. If all the points are not covered, attach all the docs that can substantiate your claim on the NOC , like salary slips, joining letter etc
4. Proof of funds
5. Digital photo
6. Passport with at least 6 months more for expiry
7. Marriage license certificate, if applicable
8. Proof of medical exam - This is usually required for all the applicants travelling to Canada ( mentioned in the application). You can do the medical exam only after you receive your ITA.

Getting ECA done for your spouse will add points to your score as educational evaluation for spouse also has some points. Referral letters for spouse will be required if you declare your spouse's work experience.

I don't have birth certificate of my wife. Will it cause an issue during the submission of application. Please let me know.

Birth certificate is usually not asked in the list of documents.

Hi,please I need your help! My university gave me a sealed envelope of my transcripts and a copy of my degree together. (Meaning they are not put in separate envelopes) Will the WES accept both of them in the same sealed envelope or they must be in separated? Also they university only sealed the envelope across the envelope flap with the university seal without signature, is that alright? Or there must be a signature? Thanks for the answer

Should be fine as long as they get your entire documents in one envelope. sending degree in one and transcripts in another makes absolutely no sense.

Just make sure your WES reference number is mentioned on the Envelope. About the sealed envelope Put a Cello Tape/ Clear Tape across theflap to double seal it that way there is no tampering.

Having a sign there makes no difference. it's the seal that adds value.

Hello people,

Need your help/advice/suggestion.

is there a thread in this forum that someone can point me to, that will provide a step-by-step instructions of how to apply for Express Entry process(in order).
If here is no thread of that can, could someone who has in-depth understanding of the process, kindly create one and put it as sticky?

I am bit confused as to what would be the first step in applying for the EE and its corresponding steps.
Though website provide instructions to certain extent, i am not entirely convinced as i understand there is lot more required than what is mentioned on the website.

These instruction will be helpful not just to me but many aspirants who are seeking a lucid understanding of the process.

Thank you all for your time.

So I would like to ask if I should get a masters degree and work for a period of 2 yrs in the UK will I get more CRS Points than if I work same amount of time in Canada.

Hi Please find my responses in line with the list of items in Bold, do not over complicate the process by giving all unecessary documents.

Dear Friends,

Need your urgent and experienced help. When I submitted my 'Personal Activities' details in e-APR stage, under the "Activity type" I mentioned that I was "unemployed" between two time periods i.e.,

1- Gap of 1 year between my education and working, as I was looking for a job December 2011 and July 2012

2- Gap of 1 month when i switched between jobs. October 2013 and December 2013

Now, in the Personal Activities page, there was a further question stating 'Please describe what were you doing during this time period'? I wrote "N/A" in this section for above 2 mentioned gaps. However, for my wife, I wrote when she was housewife, I wrote description for that she was "doing normal house work" and for that answer, CIC is ok. I got a letter form CIC stating;

We have begun processing your application for permanent residence, and in order to make a decision we require the following information/documents:
 Client Information: Receipt of information from client : Please provide details of activities between December 2011 and July 2012 and between October 2013 and December 2013.

Please advise, what should i submit to CIC at this stage, as i do not have any written documents/proof that i was unemployed? and what is 'receipt of information from client?

Thank you
Best Regards
Ali

Ok, so we've done language tests and credential evaluation. We are waiting the results of language test to apply. WHILE WAITING, do I need to be doing anything else to save time? All I do is go online and apply after getting test results??

My WES is in process and is due for completion next week. Problem is IBS institutes provide only PGPM certificates that are not affiliated to any university. The good part (hope so) is I and my wife also choose to do an MBA (distance) during the same time from ICFAI, DEHRADUN which is UGC recognized. So we both have PGPM from IBS, Bengaluru and MBA degree from ICFAI, DEHRADUN. I know that they won't consider the PGPM equivalent to Masters, however, from reading all other posts, hope they evaluate MBA at least to Canadian Masters for which me and my wife will get full points for Masters, thereby boosting the crs to 460.

Hi, has Wes accepted pgpm from ibs equivalent to Canadian masters?even m ibs bang pass out and have same doubt.
