Hi,

Got my ITA, on this round of draw. Have a small query my profile will expire on 19th march.
So should I make a new profile the start the further process or should I continue with the process and when it expires then I re submit my profile.

Thanks in adavance.

if you are talking about EE Profile, it will not expire if you have received ITA
As per CIC EE profile expires after one year if you don't receive ITA in one year.

Hi,

Thanks so much..relieved now. Also if you can help with one thing my passport expires on 2018. So should I get it renewed now,as I am willing to travel as soon I have the visa.

Thanks for the reply.

So as I understand, after my EE profile creation, I can add certificates under two or more certificates even if the certificates can't be evaluated by WES?

No, under EE there is no option for any certification courses. The "Two or more..." that you are talking about is for people whose assessed with double undergraduate degrees.

IMO since you have enough time, you can do so after you get your PR visa or make your first travel (Landing) to Canada.

There is always hope...Looking at the current trend of cutoffs and the No. of ITAs sent hope is probably winning.

Once ITA is issued, EE profile freezes.

+1 for you!

I have done a Part-time MBA from IIM Lucknow, India (Working Managers Program) and I just received my WES evaluation where WES has marked my equivalency as below -

"Bachelor's degree (four years) and completion of an executive management program offered by a graduate school of business"

Please help me interpret the above -

Does this mean my Post graduate diploma qualify under "Two or more Certificates, Diplomas, Degree" or "Masters degree" ?

Thanks

Hi ash137,

Did you ever find out the answer to your query. I also did an executive program from IIMC however did not include that in the ECA as I am out of country & getting transcripts from them seemed impossible especially when I do not even know whether they even entertain such requests.

However if getting that evaluated is considered as "Two or more Certificates, Diplomas, Degree" then I guess it is worth a try as it is likely to give a good push from my current Bachelor's Degree credential

Hi Experts,

These questions might have been asked before or might be a dumb thing to ask but one has to be sure about each and everything.

Can you please answer these for me --

1) Received an ITA on 8th Feb. My spouse( Primary applicant) is going for re issuance of passport next week. Does she need to provide a LOE for the same? Or can I just simply add both the passports(old and new) in ID- Documents Summary ?

2) I am the secondary applicant and while filling EE form assigned myself as the representative(Designated Individual). I am still confused about this. Can I being a secondary applicant be the representative. Now that I filled this info, do I need to submit IMM5475 form? Or can I go ahead and change it in e-APR.

I also got ITA on 8 Feb. Since my passport is going to expire in August 2017, I am going for a new one tomorrow.

I am just curious that I have earned a BS degree from Pakistan and MS degree from US, do I need to do ECA for both or Canada will accept my MS degree and I have to do only ECA for BS only? need guidance!!!

By the time you get married in next 3 months it will be time to submit you application as now a days we have 90 day to submit the application since getting the ITA and collecting all the documents.

So i guess you can create your EE profile now and add your spouse in your eAPR application provided you have all the documents for both (ECA, IELTS, Canadian work experience, PCC etc. if required) including the marriage certificate by then.

Thank you! If I am adding my wife later on, does she also have to submit her IELTS score, ECA etc? I believe if I already get an ITA, it doesn't matter if she has any minimum qualifications (except of course PCC and MC).

You should not the change (adding spouse) during the ITA phase as your points would be recalculated.

If you get married AFTER submitting your eAPR then your points won't be recalculated and you'll need to provide her PCC and medicals among other forms. If you do this you definitely do not need to provide ECA or IETLS from your spouse.

Keep the score that is highest, till it expires, i.e. 2 yrs from the test date.
