Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Does VFS keep passport after biometrics for express entry? If yes, how do they send it back and in how much time?

My ECA assessment of masters is still pending from WES. How can I confirm about master's approval from ECA?

hello guys, new here. I have a couple question regarding Express Entry Profile.

Question 1. Is it possible to create separate profile on express entry for both me and my husband ? or is this against any rule ?
IE: Express entry profile 1 : Me as Primary and husband as secondary
Express entry profile 2 : Husband as Primary and me as secondary

Reason being, I have higher chances for FSW and CEC, whereas husband only have chance in CEC(but with low score). But husband might have a better luck to score an invite with Ontario PNP (still looking into this )so I am considering to have him place as primary too.

Question 2 : If my husband is here in Canada on ICT visa, exempted from needing an LMIA. Does he need to request the company to get a LMIA work permit or just a letter stating job offer after PR is issued in order to claim the extra 50 point for job offer? Assuming he has already worked for the company for minimum 1 year.

Question 3 : If I am working on a open work permit, do I need to request the company to apply for a LMIA work permit to replace the open work permit I have, or just a letter stating job offer after PR is issued in order to claim the extra 50 point for job offer? Assuming I have already worked for the company for minimum 1 year.


Appreciate all the help I can get and Thank you

Hello,


I am a bit concerned cos I've heard nothing at all since confirmation of biometrics nearly 10 months ago. Even when I go onto the immigration page to use check application status tool and enter my details nothing comes up. So I'm worried they haven't been started processing it yet... How long is the general turnaround for this because from this forum it seems like mine is incredibly slow if it's not even being processed yet. There has been no updates on permanent residency page since February either. Nothing has changed. I remember a few months back seeing a service where you can pay for an update through a third party company... Did I imagine that or is it a possibility?

Hi, I spent the last 2.5 years of my university working(part-time) in a company. I am graduated now and working at the same company full time(4 months).
My question is: can I apply for express entry with this work experience (2.5 part-time and 4 months full time)

Yes. To be eligible you need continuous skilled work experience.

Yes, my experience is continuous, can I apply for express entry?

 

[Naturgrl]

Yes, my experience is continuous, can I apply for express entry?

If you have 67 or more points with completed ECA and IELTS scores.

If you have 67 or more points with completed ECA and IELTS scores.

my degree was in Canada, I do not need eca.

 

[Naturgrl]

my degree was in Canada, I do not need eca.

Ok, so if you have at least 67 points then you are eligible to apply.

You go either WES or IQAS, you will get "Two or more only"

I have a doubt about IIMC though, if WES will evaluate that or not. Usually they do.. So the best way to know is, apply

You should apply GCMS notes and see where your application is stuck.

1. You can create multiple profiles, it kills other applicant's chance of getting ITA though
2. If your spouse is LMIA exempt, then he would have received the work permit and it will say, LMIA exempt. No extra letter is needed.
3. Open Work Permit means non-LMIA based. And any job offer can get your 50 points. What exactly are you planning on this one?
