Hi,

I completed B.Tech and Master in Business Administration (part time). I got these assessed by IQAS with certificate saying
'Bachelor's degree generally compares to the completion of a four-year Bachelor of Science degree..' and 'The post-graduate diploma generally compares to the completion of a Master of Business Administration degree..'

Now while filling the online application what should I select in 'Study' tab for level of education for each course?

1) Should I mention 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.' against each Study??
2) or should I mention 'Bachelor's degree' and 'Master's degree/diploma' separately for respective studies??

Will this affect my points?

You need to select the highest ECA results: Masters degree

No problem. Your line of work does not necessarily need to be aligned with your academic background.

Hi All,

I have CRS - 499 points and filed my application yesterday.
When will the April 1st draw happen any tentative time? Pls confirm.

Also Can I start my Police clearance certificate request process before getting ITA? as it takes time to receive the certificate.


Regards.

With 499 you will surely get ITA on the next round (which is possibly tomorrow , April 6th). Yes you should start processing your police certificate and even book your up-front medical exam, as well as gather all supporting documents.

Good luck

Yes, you can answer YES. You'll have to submit documentation for that though!

Thanks Rajkamalmohanram
Some quick questions..
1. What kinds of documents can I attach?
2. I have answered 'ALL THE PROVINCES' to the question WHICH PROVINCE/S WOULD YOU LIKE TO SETTLE DOWN IN? Although I am open to go to any place with good job prospects and family environment. PLEASE ADVISE.

Thanks for Quick reply.

Please advise what are the documents and in what order I should start preparing based on the time taken for gathering.
And how to book upfront medical exams please.


One more doubt to be addressed:
I f I am planning to go out of country and come back in week after submitting my Police certificate will that still be valid?
I went to India during Dec( less than 6 months - Should I get a certificated from India too)
I went to US for 3 days last month (Hope it has no impact)

You can prepare your documents in any order you like; I recommend you start with the ones that will take a long time to process;
1. For the medicals , you need to check CIC website for the approved list of "panel physicians". select the panel physician that is closest to you and book an appointment with them. make sure you tell the doctor that it is an upfront medical for Canadian permanent residency application.

2. You need to get police clearance from any country you have been RESIDENT in for a total of 6months or more; since your 18th birthday. If you have lived in India for up to 6months in total (since you were 18 yrs old) then you will need a police clearance. Read CIC website on information about the requirement of each country's police clearance, as it may vary.

3. A police clearance certificate (PCC) from a previous country of residence must have been obtained after the last date you were in that country. While a police certificate of your current country of residence must not be older than 3months when you submit it. You do not need a PCC for short temporary/tourist visits.
