Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[chelseafc99]

Hey All.
I have 11 months of work experience in US. Then I came to Canada on a study permit for Masters. During the summer break, I went back to US and worked 2 months full time (total 13 mnths). All of these experiences fall under NOC A. Am I eligible for FSW?
The part which is throwing me off is that i worked 2 months while on a study permit in Canada.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and +1. I need to create a profile before Wednesday (possible draw) ;D.

Hello, in my Express entry profile I have put my NOC as 2146(Aeronautical Engineer) but my current job responsibility is for 2132(Mechanical Engineer). Should I change it? Do I have to withdraw my application?

Has anybody here received any job offer from Job bank, it seems it's the way to obtain job offer for nomination but so far I have been unsuccessful.

You can mention it in your EE profile - You have to have one primary NOC and you should have at least one year of full-time (or equivalent), continuous, paid work experience in your primary NOC. So, if both your jobs meet this criteria, then you can make either one of them primary NOC.

Well, no. Job bank registration is just a formality. You don't necessarily need a job offer for securing a provincial nomination. There are several PNPs that do not require you to have a job offer. Go through the link below to learn about the various PN programs available -

Hello experts. Please help me on clearing my confusion over declining Provincial Nominee nomination.

I received ITA in 52nd Federal Express entry draw under Canadian Experience class(465 points). I also received 'nomination' from NBPNP.

I want to decline the PNP nomination as I already received ITA. Please advise.

What is the confusion, you already have an ITA and don't want to be bonded by an Province, so go ahead with declining the PNP.

Hi guys!

I received ITA on 11 January 2017. I will be submitting all the documents hopefully this week. My question is regarding to the possibility of visiting Canada while my application is under review. It may take some months for CIC to review all (normally 80% of applications in 6 months or less), and I'd like to visit some cities in Canada to get a glimpse of settlement or job possibilities. It's in order to take profit of these months before PR acceptation (fingers crossed).

Any opinion or similar situation experienced? My main concern is due to border issues, I don't want to mess anything just now after all the effort.

Thanks for your help.

Applying for a temporary visa to Canada (such as a visitor's visa) isn't going to affect your PR application IMO. You just have to satisfy the officer that at the end of the authorized stay on the visitor's visa, you will leave Canada.

Hello all!

With improved ielts, I am expecting ITA in coming draws. Could someone kindly clear my following confusions as regards EOI application?

1. I have mentioned work-ex for my spouse. I guess it doesn't carry any points. Should I retain it in the form or take it off? considering issues in getting reference letters.

2. I have also mentioned about relatives in Canada (Spouse's Uncle). Should I retain it in the form or take it off? considering issues in getting proof for the same and unnecessarily taking favours from relatives? (want to save it for when we land there )

3. I have only mentioned my current employment details (> 6 years, and therefore maxed out on points). Hope that is okay? Would I need to give reference letters for previous employments also once I get the ITA?

4. Is it okay to change the application form several times? Do they keep a record of it and might use it against you in finally giving PR?

5. Once I get ITA, the docs are to be submitted in hard copy OR scanned & uploaded?

6. After submission of required docs, approx how much time does it take for them to revert with the PR stamping?

7. Can I show 'proof of funds' in PF statement?

Many thanks in advance!!

Thanks for replying. I chose my NOC as per my bachelor's degree but I have absolutely no work experience in that field (Aeronautical engineering) but I put that in my EE profile because my WES report mentions that degree's name. Should I change it to my current job NOC (Mechanical engineering)?

Thank you for your response. I will do that.

Hi Experts,
I have one confusion in a question in express entry profile. i completed my post secondary in Canada in December 2014 and got my diploma at Convocation for the same in June 2015. In express entry profile, there is one question that asks when did the candidate become eligible for this occupation? In help it says when you completed the education or got a certificate of qualification. Should I put December 2014 or June 2015?.

Thanks

hi raj

need your advice again. im in panic

My consultant has just received an email says status change （NOTHING ELSE) with my EE profile and they logged in saw my profile shows CANCELLED.

this is very strange as ive just submitted additional doc this week （use of representative)

If the profile is rejected, will it show on EE as rejected or cancelled?
WHAT DOES CANCELLED MEAN?

thx mate

Well, it is not clear to me which stage of the application you are in. Please elaborate and provide a timeline so that I can answer based on that information.

You should only mention jobs that you have work experience in. You do NOT have to meet the "employment requirements" listed under the NOC on the NOC website. Your roles and responsibilities at work should match the ones outlined under the NOC you choose.

Yes, every single time you went outside of India, you need to mention that. It can be even for 2 days. Only mention the "from date" and "to date" for all other countries outside of India.
