Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Hi,

I have couple of question on work experience letter

1. I have full time written on my job letter but not the number of hours work per week
2. Do i need to include how many hours per week in experience letter ?or full time will be enough on my experience letter as I cannot get another letter as its very old


Any advise appreciated


Thanks

Ideally, it must state how many hours you worked per week. I would make all efforts to get a new one.

Don't mention. Not to diminish the importance of the certification but you'll hardly achieve anything by mentioning it in Job Bank anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

I have activated my job bank profile. Still it is coming as pending state in my CIC profile. Any light towards it?

General Information for Canada Immigrants

Hi friends,

Me and my family , Got PR to Canada in April 2015 and Moved Canada in Nov 2015. Me and my wife both are Engineer and I was working in India in Large corporate as good position.

Few Information and awareness:

1. Think before you apply for PR , as the jobs are not like India
2. You may not get similar status jobs in Canada.
3. People who are in authority are less educated ( Local Canadian), but they are the authority so , you may get job or you may not....
4. its possible you have to do nonregular jobs i.e. Pizza shops, grocery store, ...
5. Be prepared with yourself, try to mix with local people .... that's what they like it.
6. CIIP , prepare for Canada, work BC, help immigrants, ...kind of organization are not that helpful... they just need your sin no so that they can get funds from govt and run there shops.
7. Life is very good, IF you have good job ...if not take any jobs initially for survival , nothing to shame,... it will help you to save your money...
8. Kids education is good and free till grade 12. also you get loan easily for higher education.

Before landing,

1. Complete all your driver licensing and all reference documents from RTO. Make sure it is valid more than 6 months. If its 6 months old officers won't accept, and unfortunate part is that they don't understand. Take car Insurance company letter also.
2. Get medical insurance for 3 months ,if you are keeping Min 100$ base re imbursement, don't take it , go for less or 0$. because whatever you claim nothing you will get if its less than 100$.
3. Bring maximum amount of money first time, it will be non taxable.
4. Complete all vaccination in india/ you home country and get letter in English. for your kids
5. Get Transcripts from your college for you and your family , 10 copies.


I just gave you my real experience ,,,,right now I got a job in my field but in lower position, wife is not doing regular jobs.


This is just an eye opener, THINK, UNDERSTAND, then DO.
All the best

Thanks, good insights.
Why do we need 10 copies of transcripts. I have couple of them and also WES evaluation course by course.?
What is this reference document from RTO?
Regarding medical insurance, do you mean deductibles should be as low as possible?

Hello Friends

I have a question regarding entering work history in express entry profile. I was graduated from Canadian University and am working right now. I know that my work experience during my study including research and teaching assistant is not considered as job experience and does not provide me any score. Therefore, do I still need to mention that in my EE profile?
I guess whatever we mention in EE profile needs to be proved after ITA. I can definitely provide employment letter for my TA and RA experience but just wondering if it doesn't add any score, do I still need to mention it? By not mentioning that I can avoid preparing extra document for sure. Has anyone had the same experience?
Thanks for you help

Friends,
I am new to this forum. Planning to apply for canada PR(Have 12 years exp in IT) and currently residing in US on H1b.
Can you share me some knowledge on Express Entry, FSW and PNP.

Question1:
Do i need to do express entry profile irrespective of FSW, PNP or quebec skilled worker.

Question 2:
I have Bacherlors and Masters degree. Do we need to do ACADEMIC RECORDS REQUEST FORM for Board of Intermediate education and SSC? to submit to WES. They have very poor customer service and they are not able to help me in this.

Thanks tech2015,
So for DL, Is it sufficient to carry Indian DL or we need to something else from RTO?

What should be the document size & type for uploading after obtaining ITA?

What should be the document size & type for uploading after obtaining ITA?

4mb
pdf/word/jpg etc..-- whole list of format is available on site. Generally it's done through pdf because you have to merge different documents in one as you have only one placeholder against each record.
