Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[HASB]

Hello,

While I was helping one of my friend to create a profile under express entry. Under his education he is seeing two options:
1. Fulltime Education
2. Part Time Education

We're confused which one should he choose because - He has got MBA (distance study). WES ECA says Masters Degree.
But during last three months of his study period he started working fulltime and is now claiming points of that experience as well. It totally makes sense to choose the Part time Education - but we just wanted to confirm the same.

Any information in this regard will be a big help!!!!
Thanks in advance!!!!

P.S. We even checked selecting either of the options makes no difference in overall CRS Scores.

you should definitely select part-time as you will not be able to defend full-time claim if questioned by Vo.

Hello,

I have a unique case to share (my own case). I am taking a help of a visa consultant as well on this matter but want to know any similar experiences of any other forum members here.

ITA : 1st Draw of May 2018

Accepted and submitted with full documents : July 21st 2018 (visa fee paid)

November 3rd 2018 : I get an email saying :: There was an administrative error with your application number. We have deleted your old application however your data is safe with us please link your account to new application (they provided the hyperlink in that email).
New Application Number, New Unique Client Identifier as well.

Also they asked for the Visa Fee Again.

November 9: I paid the visa fee again and notified that I have already paid the same so they emailed back a link for refund (which I have not taken yet).

My question here is that has someone experienced this kind of thing??
Also how much more time do you think they're going to take to make a decision?

Typically I have seen my friends getting visa within 3 months (plus minus 15 days) time period after submission of the application where as my application has taken way beyond that (about to reach 5 months).

OR they have reset the clock while they created my new application


Please do share your views!!


Thanks & regards
P.S. My consultant is dumbstruck on this never seen this type of thing ...lol

Hi Madhu,

I think you should typically wait 24 hours. In my case I got the email next day after the draw.

Provided that you are inside the Tie breaking rule: that is February 6, 2018 19.31.37 UTC
meaning you should have created your EE profile on or before this time.

If he was a full time student you can select full time. Foreign work experience gained while studying is acceptable. However, you are right, it makes no difference to the CRS score. You just have to be honest, thats all.

Hi,

You can just have the post grad evaluated but I recommend getting both evaluated as there is no extra cost and its good to have all qualifications evaluated for future reference.

Thanks much

Hi,

As @Grizz initially suggested, only claim points for 5 years. So don't include the first 3 years in work history.
You will have to include it in your personal history if it falls within the last 10years (no evidence is required in this section).

All the best

thanks!

I have a few questions with respect to collecting the documents.

1. Can we book an appointment using PSK site? Is this the right way?
2. Do we need to get PCC for 3 year old child?
3. What should we do if the address in the passport is different from where we live now?
4. Is Medicals required for children again?
5. Do we need to take separate digital photo of all the members or is it applicable only for the primary applicant.

Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

2- PCC is required for adults only, 18+.
3- It doesn't matter. Just list both addresses in your address history.
4- Medicals are required for everyone.
5- Photos are also required for everyone.

Hi All,

I have a query regarding the reference letter from previous employers. I have close to 8 years of experience and unfortunately I have changed 4 companies in the span of 8 years
Company 1: 3 years
Company 2: 4 months
Company 3: 6 months
Company 4: 1.2 years
Current Company: close to 3 years
I think it's impossible for me to get the reference letters from all these companies. But I have all the relevant documents like experience letters, pay slips, form 16 etc.

Also, since anything more than 3 years is treated the same, does mentioning last 3 years of experience suffice?

Please guide me with this situation.

Hi,

You are right, anything over 3 years is pretty much the same, so it would be ok if your last experience was more than 3 years. You said its almost 3 years.

I would mention my current experience and 1 more to make it more than 3 years. The rest should be mentioned in the personal history section.

Regards
