Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Stanlee]

I am residing in X country from 1985 ( born in 1985)
then i did my study from 11 sept 2005 to 21 july 2011 ,
return home , then go back for study from 23 april 2014 to 15 sept 2014, then back home till now,
the system is refusing to validate.
Vous avez déjà indiqué un statut de résidence pour cette période, merci de modifier votre saisie ou de déclarer une nouvelle période. <<< thats wat im gettin all the time. I need to explain the last 10 years residency. Any help most appreciated! thats for quebec by the way.

It seems that for the same period you are mentioning to be in two different places (that's what the error message says). Check the dates and correct it and try again.

Have you mentioned the dates as follows
- Home Location - Date of Birth to Sep 10, 2005
- Location A - Sep 11, 2005 to July 21, 2011
- Home Location - July 22, 2011 to April 22, 2014
- Location B - April 23, 2014 to Sep 15, 2014
- Home Location - Sep 16, 2014 till date

You need to select "Two or more degrees" for both degrees.

Thanks for your reply.
You mean even for associate degree i should select "Two or more degrees"?
I'm a bit afraid of getting 9 instead of 8 points and then when invited they say it was a misrepresentation.

Would you please explain how it works more in details.

Vahid

Since the Canadian Equivalence Summary in the ECA Report says 'Diploma (two years) and Bachelor's degree (four years)', you can select 'two or more degrees' and you should get 9 points for the same.

This is what CIC site says 'For each entry, if you have two Bachelor degrees, or one Bachelor and a two-year college diploma, choose “Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years.”

For the purpose of Express Entry, you get highest points for Masters provided your Masters is assessed to be equivalent to Canadian Masters. However, since WES does not charge you for the number of degrees that are getting assessed, you can send all of them to be assessed by WES. The ECA report is valid for five years, this report would be useful in the future as well while applying for jobs.

Hi Stanlee,

I have the same confusion. I have got three qualifications i.e. Diploma, B.E, and M.Tech and got ECA done for all three qualifications. ECA report summary says, Masters. So, I should select "Masters" for all of the three degrees and should mention the same IMM number. Is this correct?

Thanks

No, the logic would be applicable only in case of 'two or more degrees'.

 

[_Aspirant]

No, the logic would be applicable only in case of 'two or more degrees'.

So, it should be like this:

1). For Masters, select Masters.
2). For Bachelors, select Bachelors.
3). For Diploma, select High School Diploma.

Correct?

As i explained it in my first question, it is somehow difficult to be sure that it is equivalent to tow year diploma and 4 year bachelor. I have sent both degrees to WES and it is what they said it is equivalent to. Is there any chance that when i provide my documents after accepting an invitation they reject the assessment WES made?
i know i'm being paranoid in this regard.
Also i'm thinking here if WES evaluated the qualifications as 'Diploma (two years) and Bachelor's degree (four years)' and i only mentioned the equivalency of each individual degrees instead of 'Diploma (two years) and Bachelor's degree (four years)' as instructed, will it considered as a misrepresentation?
I don't know if it is a simple matter and i'm taking it too seriously.

please help me here.

Thanks

Hi there
I'd like to ask one quick question, if someone can help me out that would be much appreciated.
I applied for PR beginning of May, when I log in into my CIC account I can see that that some stuff is "passes" some is "in process". I have a work permit but based on LMO and my office has been closed couple of weeks ago (I informed CIC so they know the situation). I can't really work for any other company cause my WP is not open. Can I apply for a bridging work permit until they make a decision about my PR?

Thanks

There is no chance that CIC will reject WES's assessment.
(And in the unbelievably unlikely scenario that they did, the fault would be with WES, not with you.)

Your education was assessed as "Two or more", so select "Two or more".
