Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi there
I still have 25 days to upload my PR application and all the documents (got ITA) but I'm still waiting for the FBI check. I assume I won't get it before my time runs out. Can I submit my application now (when I still have 25 days to submit my documents) with the explanation that FBI check takes up to 15 weeks or I have to wait through the last 25 days that I have left and then submit it?

Thank you

When did you apply for your FBI PCC?

Hello Experts!

I have come across a question when filling out the Work History in EE profile creation.

It asks me my primary occupation, and "Date XXX first became qualified to practice in this occupation"

And on the IRCC website it says "If the "primary occupation" is:
a qualified trade (four-digit code begins with 632, 633, 72, 73, 82, 92), this is the date they became qualified to practice on their own in Canada. (For example, when they moved from apprentice to being a licensed tradesperson.)
any other job, this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)"

So my primary occupation is 1241 Admin Assistant, according to the IRCC website for NOC 1241, the requirement is "Employment requirements

Completion of secondary school is usually required.
Completion of a one- or two-year college or other program for administrative assistants or secretaries
or
Previous clerical experience is required."

so what date should I put for the question? I didnt have any one or two year college or other program for admin assistant or secretaries. Instead I have a BA in English and M.ED. But I do have previous clerical experience, which is why i got hired for my primary 1241 position.

Should I put the date I graduated form high school? or the date I started this 1241 position? Or sth else?

Please help :-[

Anything would be greatly appreciated!!!

IMO, you can simply mention the day you started your job.

Thank you Stanle.
This info is helpful.
I guess as you stated, primary applicants IELTS point matter for language marks as well for additional points for exp+language .

As a followup, if I proceed and submit my profile now with existing score of 400, can i later on add new IELTS exam results in a month or so, in case I got a better result?

Is there a limitation of how frequently and many times, I can update IELTS exam results

Thanks

Yes you can update your EE profile anytime. And I don't think there is any limit on the number of IELTS tests you can take in a stipulated time.

Yes, you can submit your profile now and later update it with the new score. After updating ensure to transmit the changes otherwise, the score will not change.

There is no limitation on updating IELTS test results in your EE profile.

You have to create and submit your Express Entry profile first. At this stage you will get an Express Entry profile number. Based on the current trend, if your CRS score is 470 and above, you will get ITA. Once the documents are submitted you will get the file number. The processing time is calculated from the time you have submitted your documents and it has been acknowledged.

As the primary applicant, you will get 112 out of 140 points for education and your spouse will get 8 out of 10 points. For details about scores you can check this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp#a1.

If you want to calculate your score you can use this tool http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp.

While selecting the NOC, the duties and responsibilities mentioned in the NOC should be a close match with the actual duties and responsibilities carried out by you at the respective job. You need not match the duties and responsibilities word by word, but the idea is to have the closest match in terms of the spirit of the duties and responsibilities.

Also, NOC should be selected on the basis of the match of actual duties and responsibilities carried out by you rather than the designation match in the NOC list. If you are not sure of your NOC, write to NC-NOC-CNP-GD@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca with your duties and responsibilities, they will help you find the closest fit.

Hi Experts,

1. I have applied for my Police clearance certificate, and got 50 Days more to submit all my documents.
Can I travel to India for vacation after submitting my documents? This will not impact my PCC validity right? Please advise.

2. When I applied for PCC in the last column they asked for addresses lived since Age 18, for that I gave list of addresses in India only till I lived there, should I have included my Canadian addresses to the list as well where I lived after coming here?

3. When I provided all my addresses, the address is correct, and duration from-to when I lived could only be approximate values will that be an issue?

Thanks in advance. Please reply to the 3 questions above.

Regards,
Vaidyy

Few general but important questions related to PGWP expiration;

1)After post graduation work permit expire, is it better to get visitor visa before applying BOWP because it take less than week? or
apply for BOWP and then apply accordingly i.e. If BOWP will approved then no problem but if (hope not) refused then visitor visa?

2)When we apply for BOWP during that time can we work? if yes then how to extend SIN#?

Thank you.
