Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Bigbenbird]

I have a new question.....

I have my PR application in and is currently being processed. Recently got asked to pay the RPRF fees, which I promptly made.

Yesterday I got a letter in MYCIC account stating that my passport has less than 12 months validity. It doesn't really say much else, other than once I have renewed it I need to send them a scanned copy to avoid any delays. No time frame or dead line is given or indicated

Anyone else seen this issue? will it delay/halt my application?

Many thanks

I found the answer to this by calling CIC and there has to be a minimum of 6 months validity left before CIC will grant PR

Hello, ı am new to the forum and ı have some questions if anyone is kind to reply. First of all ı am from Turkey and me and my wife are planning to apply for immigration to Canada via Express Entry but we had difficulties to find answers for some spesific questions.
1) Deciding on whom we will make the application. We are both eligibile in NOC list. I am A(translator-interpreter) she is B(chef-cook) but ı have long years of experience but lack a job offer. On the other hand she has less than 1 year experience but may have a job offer. Who should apply and other be dependant?
2) Does having a job offer negate the necesity of having at least 1 year of experience in her job to apply to Express Entry?
3) If we apply on my name, does her job offer affect the points she gains for me or may it be an advantage in being elected for invitation?
4) In my case ı have many years of experience but ı can only prove by confirmation letters from the companies because in my country my job unfortunately wasn't considered to be a legit job and companies aren't obliged to pay our insurance. We even didn't have a job definition by law and free of taxes. We paid our insurance payment ourselves legally but illegaly. There is only 1 year of paid insurance by a Tourism Agency and many years ı paid at my mothers tailor shop.
Will it be a problem?

You can claim points for your Masters degree. Congrats!

You would be awarded points only for your Masters degree here.

Hi, a small question - do the provinces practically nominate persons from EE? For example, if one has not applied to provinces separately, is there any chance that they nominate after seeing the EE profile?

Second question, if OINP opens up, does it by default ask all candidates above 400 to submit their documents?

Hello,
No i could not . My Master's equivalency came some 12 hours after the draw was out.

I had not submitted the EE as WES said that if my evaluation was reviewed positively, CIC will never have access to old scores. So wanted to play safe.

Hope to have it in next draw now. fingers crossed.

Good luck to you as well.

1) No. No province will simply nominate you without asking you to submit application/documents to them.

2) If you have a CRS >= CRS decided by OINP, there is a good chance that you will get it.

Dear Raj and seniors,
Does recommend passed means eligibility is passed in GCMS notes?Is it same?

Thanks Raj. But do provinces actually ask for documentation by just selecting from the EE database?

At the moment, AFAIK, only OINP does that (May be BC does it too but I am not sure). To apply to other provinces other than Ontario, you have to keep yourself updated about the dates these programs open and submit the application ASAP because there is high demand for slots.

No, you can make an appointment at a CIC office to do your landing.
