Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[rahulmerh]

Hi All,

I need to know the below queries, please help me out here:

1) I am B.Tech In Mechanical Engineering, I have my transcript ready (all mark sheets and degree attested by University)
Do I need to include my Intermediate documents too. In India consultancies saying B.Tech docs would be enough.

2) I mistakenly printed WES USA Form and got it attested too. Just now came to know that we have WES Canada too.
But the difference in both the documents is only the address mentioned at the bottom. Will this be ok.

3) My University name UP Technical University changed to APJ Abdul Kalam so as my registrar email ID.
Do I need to put wiki prints in a self declaration small envelope to help them avoid any confusion.

4) My IELTS Score is L: 7.5, R: 6, W:6, S: 7.5
Consultancies saying in Express entry your score could come nearer to 390...would that be ok, or let me know any variable to work to add more to my profile

Please let me know your comments.

Hello friends,
I received ITA on April 12th
In my checklist for proof of funds it is shown that we have to submit bank records with date and time for last six months
along with date of account opening but, in my case I've opened the bank account last month and added the sufficient balance
few days back. My question is that I am having a month old account and will it be accepted or not with only money added few days back.
Please help me regarding this, appreciate your valuable replies.

Please let me know your comments.

1. B.Tech alone is sufficient.

2. I think you need to go through WES Canada. Maybe someone can clarify otherwise but I would just redo it with them instead of having the doubt.

3. There should be a government notification regarding the name change. You should talk with the university make sure that the document is also included along with your transcripts, in the sealed envelope. I don't think WES will give any value to documents you send outside of the sealed transcript.

4. You should retake your IELTS and focus on improving your English as much as you can in general as it will also be a major factor in the job search once you get here

Hello All,

I have a question about the ECA assessment for a friend who has a Masters from the US and the Bachelor's from India. Now for express entry do you think he needs ECA for both? Will this give him additional points? Please advise.

Thanks

Hello Guys,

I have received ITA in April. I am wondering if someone can tell me what all stages will be coming forth -

1st step is to get all the required documents and submit the application.

I'd like to know, if we receive any communication or any kind of update on our application status before we receive the final PR approval email.

The one's who have already completed this process, could you please provide some insight. Thanks!

Hello Guys,

Important question, can someone explain why MULTIPLE is written in front of Passport/Travel Documents and Police Certificates -

Passports/Travel Documents (Multiple) (required)
Proof of medical exam (required)
Education (diplomas/degrees) (required)
Employment Records (required)
Employment Records (required)
Employment Records (required)
Police Certificates (Multiple) (required)
Proof of Means of Financial Support (required)
Digital photo (required)

My assumption -
1. I travelled in 2013, and got new passport in 2016. Does it mean I need to submit copies of both passports ?
2. I am currently living in Delhi, India from past 6.5 years and before that I have lived in my home city throughout. Does this mean I need to provide PCC from both cities ?

Can someone please guide. I would really appreciate your valuable inputs. Thanks!

Hello seniors

I have a question regarding PCC. I came here in Canada in 2015 as a student from India. and i didnot visited any other country after that. I already got the PCC from India but do I have to upload the Canadian PCC too to complete my express entry file??

Unable to see my application since this morning !!

Hi, I received an ITA (attached copy) on March 1st 2017 for my express entry profile (E000790xxx and CAN0000xxxx). I have started completing my application which has a expiry date of May 31st 2017. All of a sudden today when I logged into my account, I am unable to see the application to fill in details. I am worried about the application and would like to know any reasons for this.

I tried "Link application to this account", but unable to find the application using the details. In my ITA it says permanent Residence under Federal Skilled workers, so I tried looking under the same but of no use. I have written an email for CIC, tried contacting them but no response. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

[fungusamongus]

I've doubts on whether CIC requires me to list the current job as well. I've asked this in the past but now I'm actually filling out my application.

I switched jobs 4 months ago and I don't want to raise eyebrows by having to ask for an experience letter addressed to CIC. I do have a work experience letter from my previous company where I worked for 5 years. Was anyone else in a similar situation?

Should I put in my current job but leave out the experience letter?

I'm hoping that someone replies to this. Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

I have got couple of doubts :-

I have received ITA and filling it out now

1. Regarding proof of funds - can i get gift deed from two different people ?

2. I am a student in canada already do i still need to show 12000 dollars ?

3. I will be getting married in oct and i want to add my spouse too but i believe that would be too late as by that time i will get my PR so what would be the best time to go back to INDIA and do legal mariage so as to add her.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have got couple of doubts :-

I have received ITA and filling it out now

1. Regarding proof of funds - can i get gift deed from two different people ?
I believe so - there is no limit on number of people. All they need is proper evidence that money belongs to you


2. I am a student in canada already do i still need to show 12000 dollars ?
Of course yes, unless you have an LMIA based job offer or you are applying under CEC, you need to provide proof of funds. This would increase if you are married and added spouse before landing (See next point)


3. I will be getting married in oct and i want to add my spouse too but i believe that would be too late as by that time i will get my PR so what would be the best time to go back to INDIA and do legal mariage so as to add her.

Currently it mostly take people 6 months or longer to get Passport request. Even once they do, another 15 days to get passport back with COPR and visa. So you would only be done before oct if CIC processes applications much faster (we can only speculate). But if you get COPR and haven't landed, you can still get married (usually COPR and visa is valid until a year from the date of medicals (or passport expiry which ever is sooner). So you have to land before that date.

Now say you receive COPR in Aug and then go home and get married. Then you can submit this additional information to CIC. (instructions would be included in your copr). They would ask for entire profile of your spouse and usually process it pretty fast (a month or two max). Then you both would be issued new COPRs and you can land using that.

Be careful though, this processes your spouse in the fastest possible way, but your existing COPR is no longer valid. You cannot land as a PR if you got married before actually landing as a PR. It would be a new COPR that CIC would issue after processing your spouse. If say for some unfortunate reason they find your spouse inadmissible (say medical or criminal or something), you would loose your PR as well. Where as the medical inadmissibility does not apply if the principal applicant is already a PR (unless it is a risk to other people's health in Canada).

However, if you don't take that chance and become PR yourself first and get married after that. Then you cannot include spouse here. Then you apply for standard spousal sponsorship which could take much longer to process. At the very least close to year.

Thanks

Please let me know your comments.

1) - B.Tech degree alone is sufficient.
2) - No Idea
3) - I also have a mechanical engineering degree from UPTU. If you look carefully, the degree and transcripts itself say "Formerly known as Uttar Pradesh Technical University" under APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University. I sent a copy of my degree and a sealed transcript envelope to WES last month and it was evaluated successfully in 16 days.
4) Practice for IELTS online and try increasing your band.

P.S - Beware of consultancies, there is more than enough information available on web. You can do everything on your own.

Hello People,

Got ITA and about to submit my e-application.

Two doubts -

1) I am working for the same company since last 8 years. Is it enough if I upload my appointment letter, every promotion and appraisal letter?
Every appraisal letter states my salary for the coming year.
Do, I also need to upload my salary slips? There will be a total of 96 pay slips (8*12) for my entire employment duration.

2) For POF, my father is gifting me money along with a gift deed. Is it okay if I file my application immediately after receiving funds in my account or shall I wait for some weeks and try to maintain some average? Will that matter somehow?

Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

 

[BNET]

Please see my response in red inline.

Its amazign how CIC locks ones own data and even the application cant see it after it is submitted.

I wish there was any other way.

Anways, thanks for the reply.
