Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[teenzky]

Hello everyone.

In my ECA report, the equivalency of my BS Computer Science degree is only Diploma of 2 years which means I am already disqualified in Ontario PNP. In that case, do I still have to declare that I have a sister-in-law in Ontario to get additional points? Or is it much better not to declare it as I have to get PNP nomination from other provinces that doesn't require bachelor's degree or higher. I am thinking that if I declare it, my chances to get PNP in other provinces will be lower because they know I have a relative in Ontario. Btw, my husband is my secondary applicant.

Thanks a lot!

Express Entry profile is ineligable. WHY?

Hi everyone!

I tried recently to submit my EE profile, but it appears ineligible. I cannot find any mistake.
I have my Canadian college diploma (2 years), ECA for my home-country 5-year university program (master's). Should I mention school years?
I have 1.5 year of Canadian work experience and 2 years in my country (different NOC).
My language scores are more than 7 for every level.
Married, no kids, enough money.
Husband has 1 year of Canadian work experience, good language test results, 2 bachelor degrees from home-country. No Canadian education.
Cannot figure out what can be wrong.

What are the common mistakes making a profile ineligible?

In the POF page, it says this -
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

Also, check this-

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/proof-of-funds-express-entry-t263315.0.html;msg4955930#msg4955930


To avoid confusion, if you have the funds, just mention the minimum requirement (depends on your family size) and submit those documents.

Thank you, this solves the confusion. I am going to keep the funds same and just attach a letter with a copy of my PGWP and latest Pay stub that I am authorized to work and have been working and will cite the link you posted in the letter that, based on this I am not providing proof of support?

Should I also set the funds to zero ?

I don't mind getting the document from the bank but I don't want to provide any document that I don't necessarily have to, gathering all documents and the application is cumbersome already.

Question RE Express Entry.

I am i have a common law spouse who is Canadian and is living in Canada.


For the express entry profile it asks:

Marital Status? I selected common-law.
Is your partner acompanying you to Canada? I sleected No.

Family size? 2 (Partner)
You have a relative in Canada? Yes (Partner)

That makes sense?

Thanks.

If you checked on CIC website and feeded right information and the site shows non-eligibility then dont proceed. Most of the consultants are not trust worthy and they do not want to loose any client. Try to poke them how I am eligible against website result?? If they go with good reason then You can proceed.

In my case I already missed my PR chance last time in 2013 because of consultant and this time I am planning to do my own.

All the best

Thanks for your reply, But there is a catch here!! i have not done my IELTS, and have just put hypothetical numbers in that. Moreover, my Education is a Diploma, and i have more than 10 years of working experience, but not sure how to portray the same on the website..

Declaring your relative has 0 value to your application. Doesn't award you any CRS. IMO, applicants are better off not declaring their relatives because that would save them some documentation.

What are the common mistakes making a profile ineligible?

Common mistakes would be inputting wrong amount of funds, choosing the wrong primary NOC (NOC in which he has no sufficient experience etc) etc among other things.

From your profile, I believe you should be definitely eligible.

Use this tool -

http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

Once you are done with this, you would get a reference code. Use that to create your EE profile. Good luck!

No but there were instances where EE applicants were called for an interview. Pretty rare, I would say.

Hi Guys,

I'm in the EE FSW program and now I uploaded my eMEdical document, PoF, Police Certificate and the rest of educational and employment docs. What are the next steps after paying and submitting the ITA? How long it usually takes to proceed the application? I submitted the ITA 50 days prior to the deadline date if it matters...

If I did something wrong/hadn't upload the right or enough docs, CIC would notify me quickly?

If anyone has approximate timeline I would be thankful!!

Hi Prashant,

With 333, it looks highly unlikely to get ITA unless you apply to a PNP (non-Ontario ones). Please visit the PNP thread on the forum (pinned thread) and start your research there. I am not sure what your consultancy has promised you.

Thanks.

Check this link for the steps involved post AOR http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/aor-in-march-2016-good-luck-all-t400931.0.html;msg5053419#msg5053419

On an average it takes 5-6 months for a decision to be taken on your application, again it varies from case to case.

If the required documents are missing, then CIC will not ask for it, they will reject the application. It is the applicant's responsibility to submit all the documents listed in the document checklist. However, if they need additional documents, then they will ask for it.

If I would be rejected, may I enter the pool once again?

Yes, you will have to start over again.
