Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hello All,

Please help me to resolve my query as mentioned below.
Do we need ECA report for spouse also as part of application completion? I got mine, but when filling up the form, it asks for spouse's ECA report as well. Would it effect on the final result? Please suggest.

Thanking in advance.

ECA for spouse is not mandatory. But, if you want to claim points for your spouse's foreign education, then you need to have the ECA done for spouse as well. You get up to a maximum of 10 points for spouse's education supported by ECA.

The number of hours needs to be mentioned, unless you have other supporting documents which mentions the same. This is required for them to be sure of the fact that you were actually working full-time/part-time depending on what you claim in your application.

Regarding salary, if you can provide the salary slips/pay stubs and bank statements which shows salary credit.

For previous position, you can show offer letter, appointment letter etc. For the promotion, you can show documents for performance evaluation, emails or communication etc which will substantiate your claim.

In my opinion, you may still be asked to submit reference letter with all the above details, unless and until you have reasons with documentary evidence to prove why you cannot get the reference letter in the required format. Since you have already got the letter, you can request your company to issue you a fresh letter stating that the first letter will not be accepted citing the relevant reasons. Give it a try, if not try all fore mentioned options and submit it along with a Letter of Explanation.

You may also refer to the format listed here http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/nail-the-challenge-of-getting-reference-letter-from-current-employer-t397796.0.html

All the best!

If not for hours, I think work timings may work.

Please Guide,

I have done Three year Diploma in Electronics & Comm, (Eligibility for Diploma is 10th in INDIA) Although I have done diploma after 12th.
After that I have 3 Year Bachelor in Computer Science also From INDIA.

My Total Education is of 18 Years.
I have Done 10th, 12th, Diploma and Bachelor.

Now My query is Can I Take Points Under Two or More Degree ( two or more post-secondary program credentials and at least one of them was issued at the completion of a post-secondary program of three years or more) .

And suggest how to get WES done for my educational certificates.

Thanks in Advance

You can try the free assessment in https://www.wes.org/ca to gauge your credentials. This is not, however, final as the official assessment might be different. Procedure is also in the website.

Do you have anything that states work hours or length of day. For example on pay stub or original job offer?

Nope. The money needs to be yours, in your name, and available in a liquid form.

Hi Friends,

My CRS score is 356 and NOC is 0124. Another NOC 6221 is also applicable to me by looking at the Job responsibilities.
My doubt is whether one can create two EE profiles with two different NOC or not.

GSK

Yes, you can update your Express Entry profile till you get your nomination (in case of PNP) or till you get ITA.

Please help:

I submitted my Express Entry via MyCIC and they told me our profile is ineligible on grounds that I do not have a sufficient score. Of course I ran an eligibility check before applying and they told us it is fine!! They didn't give us the score now so that we know how many points we are short.

How can this be?

I am the main applicant and here are my details:
- Bachelor's Degree from USA (accredited by WES) - ECA completed!
- IELTS scores (R:8.5, L:8.5, S: 8.5, W - 7.5) - overall score 8.5
- Work experience in NOC 0651 since 2013 - present and in NOC 0014 since 2001 till present. Work Experience in NOC 0 Category - 5 years.
- We will bring 15,000 dollars as funds - I understand this should be enough for a family of 2.

My husband (secondary applicant):
- IELTS scores (R:8, L: 7, S: 6, W: 6) - overall score 7
- He didn't graduate from the university (dropped out after 3 years), we wrote 3 years University Program, not completed. Should we have written High school diploma? - No ECA for him (but I know it's not mandatory) and I really don't think 2 points would have made a difference.

We have no relatives in Canada, nor work experience there. Any suggestions? Should we apply to Job Bank? Should we do a province nomination? If so, which province doesn't have too many requirements and we would be eligible for?

How do we increase our chances?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Dear Stanlee,

Was the AOR received by mail or was it updated in My CIC?

Did you specifically mention $15000 as your funds? Because that makes you ineligible by a couple of hundred dollars

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

I suggest making the profile again, this time pledging $15500.
