Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Incorrect- both PNP and FSW direct ITA applicants have to furnish Proof of Funds.

I know. But my question is how many months of bank statement do they require for direct ITa as proof of funds? Should the proof of funds have been in the bank for the past 6mos from application as shown in bank statements or one month old bank statement showing the required amount is enough?

6 months

Would you know what information they usually ask? Is it only the principal applicant that needs to fill out an application form or do they likewise ask for the spouse’s information?

They will ask you to prove all the information you mentioned on the EE profile. Furthermore, you'd have to fill out the last 10 years Personal History, Travel History (since you turned 18), and Address History. All the docs need to be uploaded, preferably in colour.

Hello Everyone!
What a pleasant morning it is. Just recieved my IELTS score and got 8877 in LRSW, which takes my CRS to 480. Surely I will be getting ITA on next Wednesday.

I have a query -
my spouse is a canadian citizen but We are not in talking terms for more than a year now. Also, she had previously withdrew spouse sponsership application where she was sponser and I was sponsered person.

What documents do I need to submit for my spouse? I'm sure she won't provide any help or information. Rather she would make all efforts to make things difficult for me.

Also, would previous withdraw of spouse sponsership application make any negative impact on my PR file now??

Kindly advice. Thanks in advance.

Not a straight forward case- have you applied for divorce and is the case pending? You'd have to provide these papers. There is a high likelihood what you said may go against you.

We haven't applied for divorce and no court case is going on. It's just that we both aren't talking to each other.
What all documents if her will i have to submit?

Anyone?

Insufficient- it needs to have a breakdown by designations.

Even if she doesn't accompany, her medicals and passport details are needed.

Hi everyone.

While filing up my PR application, in the Proof of Means of Financial Support (I understand this is the POF that we talk about most often) I am in a fix. Will try and explain the case here:

I have more than the minimum amount required in mutual funds that I have been investing in for about 10 years now. The monthly statements reflect the same. And that the required money if not all (since these mutual funds come with a 3 years lock-in) can be liquidated anytime I need. Now my question is:
1. What kind of proof can I submit to suffice the required documentation? Will the statement only do or do I need to get a letter specifically mentioning things?
2. If my mutual funds are sufficient to fulfil the amount I need to take along to Canada, are my bank statements anyhow required to be uploaded?

I hope I am misunderstanding anything here and not mixing things.

Thanks in advance.

It is not advisable. POF also means "can be liquidated" right now. Bank generates a report on their letterhead mentioning the amount of money that you have in your account along with the statement of 1 month (in case of Direct invitation) and 3-6 months (in case of PNP).

The letterhead document will be your POF. You can attach MF, PF and other source of funds as well however the amount should not be big. Major portion should be in Savings Account. (my experience only).

Thanks. My ex-company cannot give that. Their policy is to mention the latest designation of the employee especially for people like me who have 10+ years of experience in the same company. Couple of my ex-colleagues with similar experience obtained the same reference letter and are now PR holders.

Hi
I have submitted my PR file. But I put my wrong height. Is there any way to correct it. Please reply me.
Thanks

Out of curiosity, did you not Accept your ITA?

Yes, I let it expire...Can't believe I did that..Now very anxiously waiting for the next draw..

 

[NOMAD2017]

This is interesting. I thought once you receive ITA your points are locked. What if you had submitted your application and then lose 5 points? Will your application still be processed?

The points were locked for almost 3 months. But once my ITA expired (on 90th day) and I didn't submit the documents, my profile expired as well.I had to make a new one on April 26th, with -5 points.

I have a question regarding the education history -
I have completed a Post Graduate Course in India - And according to CES it is not valid but the Bachelor's Degree i got is confirmed by ICES is equivalent to Bachelor's Degree from Canada.
So should i mention the Post Graduate Degree as well when entering the Express Entry profile?

Thank you.

If you know people who have become PR based on these letters, why bother to ask us then? Go ahead and use it.

If you don’t gain points, it’s futile.
