Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TyrionStark]

2 quick questions:
Is there an upper limit to the amount of funds you can bring with you when you land ? And is this money taxed ?

There is no upper limit to bring funds into Canada, there's just a formality of declaration to be done about the source of fund and the amount if it exceeds $10000 - CAD

Moreover, No it cannot be taxed in Canada, as the amount falls under remittance category and not earned in Canada, unless ofcourse it is earned in Canada and no tax has been paid so far on it already.

Cheers,

I teach Tax and International taxation and Foreign Exchange, I am pretty sure about my information. You can rely on it.

Hi All,

I am new to this forum . I want to apply for PNP , I have few doubt pls help me to understand.

1) For PNP , is there any condition for CRS score like it should be above 400 or something ??
Ontario requires your CRS to be over 400. As far as I know, none of the other provinces has a minimum CRS.

2) can i apply for multiple PNP Like different states ??
Yes.

3) Near future any provinces going to open if yes. then what will be the criteria required ??
No one knows when PNPs will open again.
To know the criteria, you need to visit the website of each province, and read what they have to say about eligibility. Start here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-who.asp

Kindly help me .. Thanks in advance

A quick addendum to this, apparently Ontario PNPs are closed for the rest of the year.
I'm still not sure about any of the others, but maybe someone else knows ?

Looking at the current CRS draws, I'm looking into PNP options.
I have very little about PNP process. Can someone throw some light on this?

1. Is it like creating separate profiles for multiple PNPs?
2. How much cost it would incur to apply for PNP?
3. Basically how to apply for PNP?
4. Pros and Cons of getting PR through PNP?

Thanks.

Does anyone of you have gone through applying for the Express Entry WHILE residing in Canada? It would be awesome to hear your experience and know step-by-step guidelines on how to apply for the EE WITHIN Canada. I am an international student who is recently graduated from a graduate program in Canada, and I have a valid open PGWP. As far as I understood there are different types of programs that you can apply for the EE, but I do not have a Canadian work experience yet as I recently graduated and currently looking for a job. Thanks.

Check the first page. There's not much difference between applying outside and inside Canada, except where your passport will be sent for stamping.

Hi everyone,

My husband and I submitted our EE. We recently found out that I am pregnant. Do I need to report it somewhere? In the application I mentioned there are 2 people. Woud I also have to have more funds? Also, do we get any points for a child?

You do not need to report it until the baby is born.
Once the baby is born, it can be added to your application at any time. If this happens before you receive ITA, you will need to increase the amount of funds. If it happens after you submit your eAPR, I believe the amount of required funds doesn't change (but I'm not 100% certain of this; perhaps a more senior member will know?).
You do not get any points for a child.
When you go for your medical, you will need to notify the physician that you're pregnant. In this case, the x-ray will be delayed until after the baby is born; I'm not sure when the x-ray will need to be done.
If the baby is born before you land in Canada, the baby will also require a medical, and a passport.

There are only 3 programs.
FST - for tradespeople;
FSW - for skilled workers;
CEC - for people with Canadian work experience.
You are only eligible, I believe, for FSW. Once you gain 1 year of Canadian work experience, you will also be eligible for CEC.

The whole process is the same as the one YamPower listed in her post on page 1: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/express-entry-step-by-step-instructions-t273928.0.html;msg4108507#msg4108507
Being in Canada or outside Canada really makes no difference.

The only differences are that you will be able to do CELPIP instead of IELTS if you want (I'm honestly not sure what the difference really is), and that when you send your passport to get a visa stamp, you will send your passport to Ottawa (rather than the visa office in your home country).

There is a thread for inland FSW applicants. If you have any more questions, you'll probably have more luck asking them: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/inland-fsw-connect-here-t349156.3585.html

The trend seems to be anywhere from 4 to 7 months. I'm not sure whether the score affects it.
