Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[greenlicious]

Hello,

I am just looking if anyone would be able to help me with this. I have just accepted the OOPNP and I'm starting to prepare the paperwork needed. Then I found that you need to do some criminal record check. So I did some homework and I found this one of the step is saying this:

Step 2: Fill in your application (paper submission) or provide the following information to the person taking your fingerprints (electronic submission)

Clearly state the reason for your certified criminal record check:
Adoptions - Canadian and International
Foreign travel - Visas, U.S. Waivers, Border Crossing
Employment (specify the job title and the name of the business/organization not using abbreviations) - federal, provincial, municipal governments; private industry; Canadian police agencies
Volunteer work (specify the job title and the name of the organization)
Applications for immigration to Canada - Applications for immigration to Canada must include the name and address of the Canadian Immigration Center, Embassy, Consulate or High Commission handling the case in the "Name and Address of Contributing Agency/Department" portion of the form.
Applications for Canadian Citizenship
Applications to obtain criminal record to apply for a Record suspension
Name change
Permanent residency in foreign countries (all countries except Canada)

So what should I fill in as part of the reasoning? Applications for immigration to Canada, right? But what about the name and address? Would anybody know about this?

Re: IELTS expiring

If your 45 days timelines does not expire by the time you get your new IELTS Test Report Form, then I would suggest you wait for it and include it as part of the application package. Otherwise, send the package with the copy of IELTS TRF which will expire on April 5th and later when you have the new one, you can update the details on your profile and ensure to transmit it (otherwise the information does not get updated at their end). It could happen that by the time they open and verify your package your IELTS would have expired, so you can email a copy of your new IELTS TRF with details of your EE profile Job Bank Code to ontarionominee@ontario.ca. But the catch in this is that you should get the same scores as before, otherwise it could affect your CRS score and sometimes even the eligibility, that is a big risk. If you are sure that you can get either a similar score or a better one, then keep a LOE in the package with copies of your next exam date confirmation etc. This is my opinion, please get a second opinion from experienced members on the forum.

As per the Application Guide, the guideline for the same is "The IELTS, CELPIP, or TEF tests need to be taken within 24 months of application submission to ensure the results are valid at the time of permanent residence processing. OINP recommends you take your official language tests within one year of submitting your application to OINP to ensure that your results are valid when you submit your application for permanent residency to CIC. If your results expire before you apply for permanent residency, you will need to retake the tests."

Thanks a bunch Stanlee It's really helpful.

My IELTS is expiring on april 5th and my 45 days timeline is getting over by Feb 18th and I have booked a slot for my IELTS on Feb 20th.

My question is even if I send an updated IELTS result to ontarionominee@ontario.ca with the all the details in it. Will they add my updated IELTS results into consideration and continue with my file? ???

Yes - This is a valid request. If your IELTS expires/your address changes etc, I don't see why they wont add the document you are sending via email to your file.

What is this? Which link are you referring to? I believe all this is for the previous FSW 2014 process. Could you please tell me what you want to know and the link where you found the above content?

Help?

Have you been requested by CIC to submit a RCMP PCC? You don't need to submit a RCMP PCC along with your e-APR. If CIC requires it, they will issue a separate request.

See this -->

Purpose

To determine if the applicant or their family members has a criminal record or poses a security risk to Canada
Document requirements

For the applicant’s current country of residence, the PC must have been issued no more than six months before submission of the e-APR.
For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the PC must have been issued later than the departure date of the last time the client resided in that country for more than six months.
The PCs are required upfront and mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for six or more months in a row. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional PC.
In some circumstances, CIC must ask for the PC on behalf of the applicant. In others (e.g., New Zealand), a client must complete a consent form to initiate a PC. Specific documents are required of the applicant for such requests and must be submitted as part of the complete application.

Actually, I haven't been invited yet. I'm being extremely proactive just in case they are asking me for it. So, I'm just going to do it just in case. To clarify, I won't need to hand it in, unless I was asked to, correct?

This does not have to be a part of your e-APR, yes.

Hi Everyone,

I am currently at 450 points. I will complete two years in June with my current employer. I was wondering if my points would go up (addition of 13 points for 2 years of work experience) post June.

Thank you!

Average processing times are 5-6 months. The Dec applicants are the exception, heaps of August applicants still waiting.

You have a while to go until you hit the stress button.

Thank you!
