Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi,

I got the ITA.
When asked to provide address details, do we need to provide the exact address details we have been in a particular country for last 10 years.
I've been switching places and living at number of locations within my country over the last 10 years. Do we need to provide exact date and details?

thanks in advance,
Aditya

Get as accurate as you can. IRCC can understand if there are minor deviations/inaccuracies because keeping track of all the places you have lived in the past 10 years is difficult. Try to be be as accurate and correct as you possibly can.

Thank you for your prompt response rajkamalmohanram! Your response to point 1 makes sense now, thank you again! And for point 2) I've been back every summer (4 months) since I was 18 and over the Christmas break (2 weeks) and most recently, from Oct 26th 2014 to April 4th 2015 (not an entire 6 month period) so never 6 months or more in a row as was mentioned on the website. I'm getting the certificate but it's going to be a huge bottleneck and I don't know if I can make the 60 day deadline. Will a letter explanation suffice?

Thanks so much again!

You most definitely would need a PCC, IMO. You need to submit PCCs for countries where you have lived for 6 months (not necessarily in a row). The CIC website says otherwise (I believe its not updated) but there was an update earlier this year and I can't seem to find the link. I'll update you when I find it.

Apply right away - try to get the PCC ASAP. If you are not able to procure it and if you think you cannot submit your application on time, consider declining the ITA. You can submit your application when you get another ITA in the next round. Don't risk it. To my knowledge, this kind of flexibility is being given only for applicants who are waiting for a FBI PCC. So, suggest you not to submit your application without Indian PCC.

Good luck!

I have gone through this link but Post Graduation Diploma is not listed there. It only has options to choose Bachelor's degree or Master's degree. Does that mean that WES does not recognize PG diploma programs??

Please Help!

I recall certain applicants in the past getting their PGDPs evaluated from WES but as of late, haven't heard anyone who has got such an evaluation from WES. Suggest you to do some research on IQAS as one person (aditya127) reported that his PGDP was evaluated as being equivalent to a Canadian Masters.

Here is the link to his report --->

Hi,

Before getting assessed I tried looking at the equivalent from WES website. But it wasn't available on WES website.
It seems they don't have the equivalent for PGDM on website, but that shouldn't stop us from getting it assessed.

You don't need any documents when you create your Express Entry profile - other than your Language test report(s) <IELTS/TEF> and your Education Credential Assessment (ECA) report number. You will need to submit all documentation only after you get an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Check this link to see what the document(s) must contain -

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp

Ideally, your reference letter needs to be on the letter head, signed and stamped by HR/Manager and must contain the following information :

Name, Date of joining, Date of relieving (if applicable), Designation, Annual Pay Package, detailed roles and responsibilities you perform (this must match the NOC that you choose), Number of hours worked/week and nature of the job (full-time/part-time).

Hello, after getting the ITA, so I need to upload the document and then pay the "application fee" and "right of permanent resident fee". But when do I get the AOR (Acknowledgement of receipt)? Do I need to mail the document to CIC office?

a) You don't need to pay the RPRF upfront- only the application fee is necessary. However, you will eventually have to pay the RPRF later, so if you just want to get it out of the way now, you are free to.

b) You get an AOR within 2-24 hours of your application being transmitted.

Hello sir. Thank you for your reply. So I assume during the whole application process, there is no documents needs to be physically mailed to CIC? I was told earlier that CIC may send a physical mail letter to require for additional document, "schedule 4" ect. Is that correct?

And I am trying to apply for the EE CEC and if I have a canadian master and a foreign bachelor, should I included the foreign bachelor ECA (it will take a long time to get from my home country)? I think in the EE "personal history" section, I am required to enter all history starting 18 years old. So I have to include the bachelor degree there.

Thanks a lot

Any additional documents that the CIC requests need to be transmitted electronically, so you don't need to worry about any physical mail.

Generally speaking, you only need your highest qualification, so just use your Master's for the application- put the Bachelor's degree in the Personal History of the application, as you correctly identified, yes.

Hello sir. Is there is CIC website that specify that the highest education should suffice? I was looking for a long time and can't find one.

The reason I was asking about this is that I got my bachelor at 20 year old in a quite early age (go to university at 16). So I think a lot of canadian go to university at 18? So I am just thinking maybe someone who attend university at younger or older age may need to provide more information? I have seen people attend university at 30 doing a bachelor.

I have three years of work experience before coming to canada doing a master. So maybe I should consider prepare a ECA just in case? Because if CIC require it in the middle of application process, I won't be able to provide it in 60 days because my home country takes 90 days to process and it take WES center in canada another one more month to get the ECA.

Thanks a lot.
