Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[DelPiero07]

Hello All,

I received my ITA in the 24th March draw.

Now, i have few queries:

1. How would I confirm that I have accepted the ITA, because i dont see a tab "accept invitation" similar to the tab which says "Decline invitation"?
2. While accepting the ITA and filling in the application, CIC is asking for spouse details. Can i update/change these later on as we are applying for a fresh passport with my name on it?
3. In my profile, below the table "continue my profile/application, not yet submitted" it is clearly mentioned that days left to submit are 90 days. But, once i start filling in the application and "save and exit" in between it says "You have 60 days, including today, to complete this application or profile."

Please advise.

1 - No such thing exists.
2 - Yes.
3 - You have 90 days to submit your eAPR.

Hi All,
I have recently received ECA and i have completed my EE profile.The job bank formalities are also done.
But when i login, my application status reads -->We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
What does that mean ? Is my EE profile active??

Need Advise,

my existing EE profile is created by my Immi Consultant with a CRS of 427, now I have noticed that for Ontario Human Capital programme, it may help to re-create my EE profile for getting NOI.

can I have another profile created by me, if any profile selected, I can withdraw the other. Consultant want to charge another 900 Dollar to do the same- Greedy

I am afraid its not, because when i created my profile, upon completion i received a message in .pdf that specifically said "Congratulations! You have been accepted in the Express Entry pool of candidates."

You would infact receive 2 messages in your CIC account, first one would say that "Thank you for submitting your Express Entry profile." and would also have your job bank Express Entry Profile Number and Job seeker validation code. Once you use these credentials to register at the job bank website then you will receive the second message in the CIC account that says "Congratulations! You have been accepted in the Express Entry pool of candidates."

Hope it helps!

No idea. They don't publish dates. Could be tomorrow, could be next year.

Of course. How do you think the rest of the foreign skilled workers who have never been to Canada before do it?

Best of luck!

Hi Friends,

Is anyone faced below issue in 'Personal activities' -

Here, I understand, we are supposed to enter details of last 10 years OR since 18th birthday whichever was later. However, when I opened the form, I could see details already extracted for period greater than 10 years, which is 25 years in my case.

Can someone please advise, we are supposed to 'Delete Row' all the entries that refer to period greater than 10 years ago OR should we keep all entries as-is that was automatically extracted by the CIC application ?

Thankyou !

I would STRICTLY advise changing the order for the Step by Step EE instructions. I would recommend combining IELTS and ECA into 1 step, there is NO reason they can't be done concurrently.

Hi everyone,

I am a PhD student in Canada and I would like to know whether I should apply for my PR while I am still a student. I moved to Canada when I was 18 to do my Bachelor's degree in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. It is a four year academic program. Then, I started my PhD in another province in Canada. I am currently in my fourth year of my PhD (in total, this is my 8th year in Canada) and my field of study is still Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Specialization in Oncology). Someone told me that I still needed at least 2 years of skilled work experience. My Phd project is being funded by the local provincial cancer research centre (PCCRC) and not through my University. My lab is also at the research centre and not at the university. So technically, I am under the PCCRC's payroll. My bank deposits have the PCCRC's name. They have also agreed to provide an employment verification letter. If this is acceptable, then I have four years of skilled work experience. I am not sure what my job title would be and how it is classed on the CIC website. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you
