Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Hello everyone,

I received an ITA under the FSW category. I'm having a dilema with my EE application for 2 reasons:
1. I do not intend to nominate the representative I originally indicated in my EE Profile for my EE post ITA application. Do I have to submit any forms for this?

2. I recently got accpeted to a new job before I received my ITA. its a bit awkward to request for a cert of employment becaise my start date with the new company is tomorrow, 20 Feb. Do I still need to declare this new employment and submit a COE?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Hi,
1)no forms are needed, they just want to know if you are doing it yourself or through a rep.
2)You don't need a Reference letter if you are not claiming points for it. So get letters from previous employers and add new job to your personal history.

All the best

Hi

Sorry for asking again.But I have submitted my papers for ECA on 22nd December. Still they are in initial review step?Should I be worried?

Does it always takes so much time?

Please be informed I have two degrees of two different countries.

Weird scenairio!

I am doing two jobs! I am claiming points for only one, and I am about to start my 3rd job for which I wouldn't be claiming points aswell.

Do I need reference letter from my other two jobs - that I am not claiming points for? Also, is it important to even mention these jobs in personal history?

Hi

I have a query regarding personal history. Although, silly, would appreciate if anybody could guide.

My spouse finished her study in June 2014, which is the date mentioned in Transcript and certificate. However, she got married in Jan 2014, which date is mentioned in the marriage certificate.

Now, he personal history section, how should i fill it?

option a) student till June 14 and house wife from July 2014 onwards,

or

Option b) student till June 2014 and housewife from Jan 2014-onwards. there will be a date overlap. System also accepts this overlap, so, i guess its okay. this is more logical. this is the correct approach to follow, right?? or should we avoid overlap???

Regards

Hi seniors, Raj , Sushsmart

Am submitting my documents post ITA in few weeks. Had a query.

1) Change in employer after E-APR / AOR and before PPR

i got ITA on 8th feb and planning to submit all documents by 31st March 2017. assuming AOR / e-APR date as april 2nd 2017.

If i change my job and switch to a new company say in the month of July 2017 - august 2017 while the PR processing is still in process.

is it ok ??. do i need to inform CIC as the PPR request would be round about same month say 4-5 months after AOR.. possibly august september 2017.

if i have to inform CIC how to do as EE profile will be freezed.

is it ok if i dont inform CIC about the employer change as NOC will be same.


2) address history : i have stayed in multiple cities in india while doing by education and employment say .. bangalore, pune,

permanent addess is mumbai where am working currently.. i have applied for PCC from PSK mumbai office.

what to do now.. as i dont remeber most of the address of bangalore and pune..

can somebody guide me. is it ok if i just mention Mumbai address.

or i have to mention bangalore,pune, mumbai...

Thanks for your answers in anticipation

Processing time differs with organizations. If you used WES the process should take 20 working days after they receive all your documents. I'm not sure about other organizations.

I don't think this is a big deal, but I would go for option A since she was still a student regardless of being married.

1) No. You only need a reference letter for the job you are claiming points for.
2) You have to mention all jobs in personal history as not doing so would be with holding information. I don't see any reason not to mention them.

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.

Thank you! Also, assuming I submit my eAPR around end of April (since my USA PCC is expected to take around 2 months from now), and I get married in the 2nd week of May is there a way I can bring her on dependent visa and then add her to the application like you mentioned above. Or should the order be reversed i.e. add her to the application and then bring her on dependent visa? The reason I want to bring her here sooner is so that she can come here and transition faster without having to wait all 6 months or so in India. Please advise what you would do.

Raghav.
