Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Adil Khan123]

Dear All,

I have come back to this portal after a long time as I was busy with my IELTS exam. my score is increased from 388 to 465 and hoping to be selected with couple of up coming draws. my question is I have a bank statement of around 10,000 CAD dollars maintained for last 1 year, but as per my understanding I would require 14,500 CAD dollars for six months as my wife is accompanying me. can anybody suggest a way out?

 

[Krrish]

So one needs to main the minimum amount in bank account for 6 months atleast? Is that true?

Hi Experts,

My AOR is 08th April and I have been requested Schedule A for both the applicants by 20th April.

I have completed the Schedule A form but want to clear 1 doubt (mentioned below) before I submit the same:

For both the applicants, under "Work History" section, I have indicated details of only those jobs for which I am claiming points and under "Personal History" section, I have indicated details for all jobs/everything.

However, earlier while submitting eAPR, I did not provide any LOE to clarify above scenario (i.e. "Work History" section provides details of jobs for which points are claimed while rest other/all jobs/details are in "Personal History" section).

Do you recommend to provide LOE regarding above confusion with Schedule A form or should I not confuse them for unnecessary LOE (assuming that they will understand this scenario)

Please provide your view.
Thanks in advance

No, you're fine, and basically that is how it should be done- you list employment you are claiming points and experience for in the work history section of your profile, and you list employment you weren't claiming points for in the Personal History section. As long as you did this in your eAPR, and also in your Schedule A, you should be good to go.

A way out? You mean an exemption to the funds requirement? That would be arranged employment or an ITA under CEC.

Actually, the figure for 2 people has been updated to CAD 15,143: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

All you need is to show you have the total at the time of your application, no previous hold requirement. If you already have the 15,143 on hand, great.

I suggest you update your EE profile to the correct funds and only accept the ITA when you can prove it in bank statements, assuming you can't be exempted from the funds requirement.

More complicated is to list your wife as non-accompanying and sponsor her later, but that application takes a very long time.

No previous hold means there is no need to show 6 months old bank statement???? i currently have 17000 CAD .... can i apply if i get nominated within next coming draws????

I mean, you'll still need to show the previous six months' statements, and if there is a huge credit in your account all of a sudden (i.e. you went from having, say, $5000 CAD to $17000 CAD), you will need to furnish a letter of explanation (at the very least).
But given that you have the money, and you have six months' worth of statements (even if you don't have $17000 CAD in all of them), you should be able to apply when you get an ITA without your finances being an issue, yes.

If you have already made an Express Entry profile, you need to make a Job Bank Job Seeker account before your Express Entry profile is considered active (unless you have a valid employment offer from within Canada with a positive LMIA).
You get no points for registering for a Job Bank account, but unless you do, your profile does not get activated.
Register for a Job Bank account here:

It could be because one of the following reasons
1. You do not have an ECA or IELTS score does not meet the minimum requirement.
2. You have not mentioned the funds as per LICO
3. You have not met FSW minimum score of 67/100.
