Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Sammy_kulkarni@yahoo.com]

Hello people,

Need your help/advice/suggestion.

is there a thread in this forum that someone can point me to, that will provide a step-by-step instructions of how to apply for Express Entry process(in order).
If here is no thread of that can, could someone who has in-depth understanding of the process, kindly create one and put it as sticky?

I am bit confused as to what would be the first step in applying for the EE and its corresponding steps.
Though website provide instructions to certain extent, i am not entirely convinced as i understand there is lot more required than what is mentioned on the website.

These instruction will be helpful not just to me but many aspirants who are seeking a lucid understanding of the process.

Thank you all for your time.

Hi,

Please help as that is the only part which m unsure about.

Thanks,
Sampada

Hi,

Mention your job title as per reference letter and pick the NOC that matches your duties and responsibilities the most. Job tittles do not matter, the main focus of the NOC is the duties and responsibilities as tittles differ with organisations.

All the best

Many thanks for the reply.

Hi every one,

I got ITA and am invited to apply for EE (Canadian experience). At the time I was making my cic profile I had a job offer valid for 1 year. Now, after few month that I got the invitation to apply, my job offer is valid for less than a year.
BTW, I did not get any points from job offer since it was under PGWP, but I just entered it without getting points.
I just wanna know in the e-APR, shall I change the part regarding my job offer? shall I change it to No? or leave it as it, since it should not be asked as a supporting documents when it is not considered in my points.

Best,

Sp

I suggest you update you e-APR based on current validity of the job offer. They have put the updating option for such a purpose. When it doesn't reduce your point there shouldn't be any worries

Thank you. You mean for the question "do you have a valid job offer?", I say No? since mine is not valid for 1 year now.. and being valid for at least 1 year is one of the criteria's of the valid job offers.

Hi Seniors, I am expecting to submit my application by the end of this week. I have a concern if anyone can help me.

1. Under personal history, I have my Canadian post secondary education mentioned already. Should I add the coop i did during that course?. If I add, should I include it as an education or employment?. (If I put it in an education I need to provide the degree or diploma i have earned or institution number and all).
2. I have been living in Canada from past 4 years, do I need to get Canadian PCC? Anyone had any experience by not providing that?.
3. In my personal history, all the part time jobs I am mentioning, should I include the T4s or pay-stubs for those jobs in documents anywhere?.

Thanks a lot.

It is best to combine them to one NOC code which matches most closely to your job description and ensure that the reference letter from your employer covers the roles and responsibilities as per the NOC... It will be a headache to get two separate reference letters..

Thanks!!

Hello,

My application status says "We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."

Job bank registration has been accepted.

Does this mean it is open/active and will be considered for next draw.

Thanks!!

1. Your post secondary education should go under educational section and not personal history. Your coop can go under personal history. Make sure you submit some sort of coop completion certificate or something as supporting documentation.
2. PCC from Canada is not required AFAIK. Anyone else can weigh in if Im wrong.. Visit this link for more info

3. Not required. Just add the experience letters to prove that you did indeed work there...

Add him but indicate that he is not accompanying you. And get his ECA and IELTS done ASAP. Then when you are submitting the e-AOR, indicate that he is accompanying you.. Include a small letter of explanation...

In my opinion, wouldn't that be like cheating? He/She obtaining ITA based on their individual score and then when they have got the ITA they are claiming that spouse is accompanying. Will CIC accept that? What will you explain in that letter ...that you were trying to get ITA with individual scores so didnt include spouse then and now you have got ITA so you are including?!

I think CIC will recalculate the score based on his/her spouse and if that falls below your ITA cut off they will not consider.

IMO, you should show your spouse accompanying you in your EE profile. yes, your scores will be impacted by it(but atleast you are honest with your declaration). Once their WES and IELTS is done you can update your profile.

I second that.
