Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[salkhan]

I would pick "no" for travel history (if you arrived to Canada with a study permit/work permit) and N/A for family members.

If anything you can write a small paragraph on your Letter of Explanation stating that all your trips have been from country of origin to country of residence since you were 18. Up to you.

Cheers

Sure that sounds reasonable to me.

looks like there is going to quite a few letters of explanation in the eventual application!


Thanks!

what happens if you are only eligible under nomination category in express entry .

You get 600 CRS points and most likely ITA in next draw.

Can an international student in Canada, who had applied for EE under the FSW category a few months before starting his studies, accept his ITA while continuing to study in Canada on student visa?

 

[DelPiero07]

I don't see why not.

It's like when a person has a valid work permit and receives an ITA, it's not like he/she has to suddenly stop working.

Cheers and +1 me bro

You can either choose all provinces or you can choose specific provinces. Some provinces like Ontario will not send you a PT NOI if you haven't checked either Ontario or All provinces.

Your post gives no information about your background. Tell us which stream you have applied under, whether you claimed points for a LMIA based job offer etc.

 

[rajkamalmohanram]

You don't have to list trips from your country of origin to your country of residence and vice-versa

Cheers

Okay so I should just pick the "No" travel history in the application? Even the first trip to Canada doesn't count?

Also it says "and if application, JohnDoe's family members".... my family members are not part on my application so I don't have to provide their travel history (or in other words, not applicable)?

Did it get that all correctly ?

Thanks for the help

This is the instruction on the e-APR. If you have lived in 2 different in the past 10 years, then I would definitely suggest mentioning the trips between these 2 countries.

Provide details of any trips XX has taken outside his/her country of origin or of residence in the last ten years (or since his/her 18th birthday if this was less than ten years ago). Include all trips: tourism, business, training, etc.
You can tell us about each trip by filling in the fields below.
Check the list at the bottom of the form first to see information you have already saved.
• When you click "Save and Add", each trip will be saved to the list.
• The fields will go blank to let you add another trip.
• Use the modify or delete button if you want to change a trip that you have already saved to the list.
Has XX , and if applicable, XX's family members taken any trips outside their country of origin or of residence in the last ten years (or since their 18th birthday if this was less than ten years ago). Include all trips: tourism, business, training, etc.

I would mention ANY international travel in the past 10 years irrespective of the reason/country of travel. This is only my opinion.

Hi Raj, Thanks for your response.

In the 2nd question you answered, does it mean that if i select as date of eligibility for 2171 as 2014, then my 31 months of experience between 2008 and 2011 will not be counted by CIC? Just asking. I have anyways entered in my profile as you said.

I haven't experimented with it nor I have seen cases to conclusively say "Yes" but logically thinking, that would be the likely outcome.

This has been discussed intensively in this forum. Like I said, no need to disclose travels from country of origin to country of residence and vice-versa.
