I just created my EE profile as well as activated Job Board Account. The things which I felt missing are -
1. The status for job board I am getting is PENDING. How much time will it take to get activated or accepted.
Application/profile status Pending Additional Criteria Help
Province/Territory Nomination No nomination at this time Help
Job Bank Registration Pending Help
Review of Minimum Entry Criteria Met Help
ITA Status Not Applicable Help
Review of submitted documents
2. At the time of EE profile creation, father name was not asked. Do this and other family members details asked post-ITA.
I submitted my Express Entry Profile on 09 November 2015 and immediately got a message with EE Profile Number, link to register to the Job Bank and job seeker validation code.
I followed all the instructions to register to the job bank and CIC EE showed the status as "Job Bank Registration Pending". I had already received the message welcoming me to the EE Pool.
I did the same thing as most of us did, panicked. Then I checked the blogs and decided to keep quiet for some time.
Exactly after 24 hours my EE Profile status changed to "Open" and Job Bank Registration status showed as "Accepted".
So my request is to give system some time before panicking.
