Hey everyone!

Just a quick question, how do you prove your work experience? Is a letter from my current employer (where he states I have been working there for 13 months) enough?

Thanks!!

Hey everyone!

You can prove your work experience through Reference Letter issued by your manager/supervisor/HR (on company letter head). You will need it from all your employers (current and past).

Additionally, you can also provide other supporting documents - employment contract/offer letter/appointment letter/salary slips/tax papers/appraisals/promotion letters etc, but reference letter is the most important document.

There is no specific format, but it should basically cover the points mentioned in the below format (on company letter head).

This is in line with the requirement that has been mentioned in the OINP Application Guide (http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/OI_PNP_EE_CAPITAL.html).

Hi All, I am turning 31 at the end of April. I am concerned that I will loose 5 (precious) points in the Age factor if I act late. The only thing that I have missing is Academic evaluation. I am going for WES, but I hear they are taking about a month and a half in completing the evaluation. With my ECA results at the start of April, I will create an Express entry profile.

• Now does my age get locked in when my EE profile is created? Or will I get points for age sometime later when an evaluation is done?
• When my age increases, does the score reduce?
• Also what happens if I get another degree completed in the meantime, can I get another ECA done, and resubmit it in the same EE profile?

No, they do not take that long, I got my done in 7 days, but again it depends on case to case. If you are considering the whole process of getting the transcripts and sending it to WES, evaluation etc, then yes, it can take up to a month.

• Now does my age get locked in when my EE profile is created? Or will I get points for age sometime later when an evaluation is done?

- No age does not get locked, you will get the score for your actual age, and it will get affected if birthday comes in between.

• When my age increases, does the score reduce?

- Yes

• Also what happens if I get another degree completed in the meantime, can I get another ECA done, and resubmit it in the same EE profile?

- Yes, you can provided it will get you more points. But it will be additional ECA cost if you are not submitting it as part of the first assessment.

Adding to what stanlee has already said, age gets locked after you get ITA! If your points fall because of a birthday after you get ITA, there is no problem! You can still go ahead and apply!

That's your spouse's decision and IRCC cannot force them to do otherwise. They cannot even question their decision. They can (and indeed do) only mandate that if you choose to list your spouse as 'non accompanying' now and get higher points because of that action, your points will be correspondingly decreased if you change that status to 'accompanying' at any other point of time during the application.

IRCC doesn't really care if your spouse accompanies you to Canada or not.

Dear asivad,

Thanks for ur answer, so u mean to say that i should choose married and non accompanying and have to be in that status until i receive my PR isnt? I should not change in any time during application r8?

And does married and husband non accompanying has higher points than married applications? Is there any options of married and husband non accompanying?

please suggest

Dear asivad,

You can change that at any point in time. If you change it, your points will be recalculated.

And does married and husband non accompanying has higher points than married applications? Is there any options of married and husband non accompanying?

If spouse isn't accompanying, the PA is treated similar to an unmarried applicant and points are calculated accordingly.

please suggest

If you are married, you will have to declare that in your Express Entry profile even if your spouse will not be accompanying you. Also, you will have to declare the amount of funds for 2 people which is CAD 15,143. You can check it out here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp.

Additionally, you will still need to get the medicals and police clearance for your spouse, even if they won't be accompanying you.

dear stanley
so u mean to say that there is option for married and spouse not accompanying ? and would it be ok if i show the fund in FDR or POST OFFICE BOND FOR TENOR OF 5 YEARS MATURITY?

Hi Seniors
Hav one query on EE profile.

When we create EE profile in my cic, do we need to declare all the jobs and NOCs that we have served from the time of starting our job or we need to declare only that job for which we have been declaring our points (by selecting NOCs)

For eg:

Job 1- NOC1- from **** to ****
Job 2- Noc-1 from ***** to ***
Job 3- NOC 2 from ****** to ******
Job 4- NOC 2 from ****** to ******
Job 5- NOC 2 from ****** to ******

If i want to select NOC 2 as my preffered NOC (as per above example), so do I need to submit the docs (appointment letter, roles responsibility letter etc etc) related to NOC 1 as well ??? OR can I go ahead with only mentioning Job 3,4 and 5 in my EE profile and not mention other jobs (Job 1, 2)

Please help

Our EE is almost ready and we would also like to apply to PNP. Is there a way to find the point requirements for each province? And how do we go about applying? Initially we thought Alberta would be a good fit for us, but is it true they no longer accept applications?

Also, is it possible to apply to multiple PNPs and hope that someone will select you?

Please advise.

Please help

You need to provide documentation for all the jobs that you are claiming points for.

If you have 3 or more years of experience in NOC 2 (from Jobs 3,4,5), then, you get maximum points for work experience. Hence, you can mention only these jobs in the work history section and retain Job1,2 in the personal history section alone.

This way, you will have to submit reference letters from job 3,4,5 alone! You need not submit documents for jobs 1,2.

dear stanley
so u mean to say that there is option for married and spouse not accompanying ? - Yes.

and would it be ok if i show the fund in FDR or POST OFFICE BOND FOR TENOR OF 5 YEARS MATURITY? - You can show them provided it is in your name (primary applicant).

IS it required to show the fund during fill up express entry or its an issue after getting ITA? I mean from the date of getting ita previous 6 months isnt? - In the Express Entry profile, you need to mention the amount you have available for settling in Canada. In case you get a PT NOI from Ontario, then you would need to show proof of funds declared in the profile as part of the your application package you would send to OINP (MCIIT). If you have enough points for ITA and you get a direct invite, then you would need to provide proof of funds that you have declared.
