Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[vaibhav007us]

Thanks Stanlee, a couple of follow on questions:

1. I hope CIC would not consider this as discrepancy in address as per EE profile and passport.

2. I guess police clearance certificate would only be required for the permanent address in the passport?

3. Is the communication address mentioned on any ITA or other documents issued by CIC? If yes, wouldnt this create a problem when I show this document to Passport office for police clearance?

Regards.

Please guide.

Background:
I got L/R/W/S - 7.5/8/7/8. My CRS marks would be around 390 which would not be sufficient to get ITA even provincial nomination. I will have to get atleast 8 in listening to score above 440. I am going to reappear for IELTS which will take 1-2 months.
I have not yet created EE profile as the CRS marks are not good. The only option to get PR in this case would be to get a job for 600 points. I can see lot of jobs for my finance profile on job bank, LinkedIn and job portals, and wants to apply ASAP, but not sure of applying with a low score.

My questions:
Should I create EE profile and enroll in Job bank with low CRS score? or Wait for a good score in IELTS? What are pros and cons?
What are the chances of getting an interview call after creating EE profile? Do the companies in Canada entertain such resumes with no PR but in process?
Do the companies consider CRS score while selecting a candidate? If yes, then it would be better to wait.

Firstly, getting a job before you get PR is exceptionally unlikely ! It's almost impossible.
For a company to offer you a job before you have PR, they will have to get an LMIA. To do so, they have to prove that there is no one in Canada capable of doing the job.
So if you have an incredibly rare skill set, congratulations. Otherwise, you will not get a job before you have PR.

Have you considered Provincial Nomination ?

Hi,

I've just created my EE profile, my CRS score is 474. Going by the latest trend and the recent discussions on the reduction of points in the next few months, i'm hoping to get an ITA soon.

So my situation is that i'll be traveling outside India for work in the coming week for the next 4 months, so if i get the ITA in that period i'll have to "apply at your nearest Indian embassy or consulate" to get my police clearance certificate (PCC), which i think is much more difficult task than actually applying for it in India.

Wanted to check with you guys if it's ok for me to get my PCC from India now and then get the medical certificate (MC) from the country that i'll be in after i get my ITA? Is it ok for the CIC that PCC and MC be from different countries for the same applicant?

Looking forward to hearing your views.

Thanks.

I can't see any reason why your profile would be ineligible.
Are the IELTS results still valid ?

If I were you, I'd try making another profile, and make sure that you haven't made any mistakes while entering your details.

It shouldn't be a problem.
But be aware that your PCC, for your country of residence, cannot be more than 6 months old.

1. No, if required, you can write a Letter of Explanation for the same. Communication address always need not be the permanent address, people keep moving.

2. I am assuming that you are in India. You can apply for for PCC from PSK near to your current address, you will need to provide address proofs for the current address while applying for PCC. If not you can also apply for PCC from the place (permanent address) where your passport was issued. Please note that PCC issued by PSK does not mention any address, it is valid for your stay anywhere in the country. Check this link to know more about PCC from PSK http://passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/online/pccOnlineApp

3. For PCC, you do not have to show any CIC documents or ITA letter etc; you can straightaway apply for PCC.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate...

Stanlee, does CIC practically send any documents by post etc or all correspondence is through email? Just thinking, if I mention my permanent address only in the EE profile to avoid issue?

Passports post visa stamping will be sent to your communication address which you can update anytime by intimating CIC using IRCC Web Form. Also, if you apply for PNP and get nominated, the province will mail you the Nomination Certificate to you.

If you are applying under FSW, you also need to score minimum 67/100 points as per this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp in addition to the other requirements.

Did you select 'Yes' for the question related to Job Offer? Only in that case, you will not get a message for Job Bank registration, otherwise, you will have to complete job bank registration.

Have you got your educational credentials assessed?

Once your profile becomes ineligible, you will have to create a submit a new profile.

I calculated their FSW at 71. I can't imagine why their profile is ineligible.

Exactly, may be they would have wrongly put the IELTS date or missed a digit in the amount of funds or they would have mentioned an NOC which is not under skill type 0, A or B or they would not have got ECA done. Otherwise, everything else looks fine.

 

[vaibhav007us]

Is there any person in this forum who got WES ECA done with BCom(H) and Indian CA qualification? What do these qualify for amongst the options in the EE form (i.e. Two degrees etc)?
