Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[samchop86]

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.

Can someone please comment??
Thanks

Hi guys,

I posted this question in a different thread but got no response. I'm little bit confused about Skill Transferability factors and I'd very much appreciate your insights about my inquiry. Based on the chart below;

1. Do the points for "Skill Transferability- Foreign Work Experience" belong to me or my spouse or both of us?
Only primary applicant

2. same for the points for "Skill Transferability - Education" - is it mine or my spouse's?
This is for both

(I'm asking it because my spouse could not get a reference letter for her work experience. She worked as a TA between 2007 and 2009. Her department was closed, etc. etc. Now, I am afraid we'll lose points and get denied if we submit our application without her reference letter. Please advise. Thank you)

spouses work experience fetches you a grand total of 0 points, better to remove it from EE and just add it to personal history section

 

[thestunner316]

In my EE profile my spouse's educational history does not add any points -the highest level of education is secondary/high school. Should I leave this out from the EE profile?

Thanks.

you can leave it or remove it upto you - secondary education is not counted, even if you give documents for it

Is this possible to change the NOC code after the Express Entry Submission????
I am not changing the company and title only want to change the NOC code so is there any issue for changing the NOC?

My CRS score is 430 and i am expecting to receive ITA in next draw. I have question regarding submission of documents. My reference letters (Job reference) and proof of funds are not ready yet and i want to know how much time do we get after receiving ITA to submit all these documents.

Also i have doubt regarding proof of funds. I am posing my wife as Primary applicant but most of funds we have is in our Joint account (Which includes my name and my wife's name). Would that work as proof of funds.?

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

You will have 90 days after you receive an ITA. For proof of funds, I don't think it should be a problem. I am the primary applicant and I and my husband have a joint account in nationalized bank. We are showing funds from that account.

yes you can

i see you are a fellow ADVO applicant, can you join the ADVO appliacants group ? would be easier to track timelines and stuff

Hello People,

One query regarding proof of funds -

CIC requirements say that "if you are applying for permanent residence in Canada, you must provide an official letter issued by your financial institution indicating your financial profile".
My concern is I have funds in two different entities - One my bank and another my provision funds account. The bank will issue the details related to my bank account and PF department will issue me a statement related to my PF funds. So, how do I show the results together? Shall I make consolidated sheet myself and attach both bank and PF letters?
Someone has a format for the POFs??

Please help.

Thnaks

Noob Here!

Hey,

I just had by documents sent for an Eval to BCIT. I have got a 8.5 in my IELTS and waiting for my wife to get her results. Moving on, I am kind of stressed reading that most masters are not at par with the Canadian education system. I have done 3 years of undergrad + 1 year of MSc from Spain.

1. What are the chances of my eval being at par with the Canadian masters?

2. Also, my eval sent to BCIT is only for the masters, will I need to send them my undergrad transcripts as well?

3. Can someone share the format of the Work Reference Letter needed?

Hi,

I have recently applied for Express entry using the reference number saying I am eligible for Express Entry. But after submitting my profile I immediately receive a message stating "Profile Ineligible" and no score is displayed. I waited for 24 hours received a new message saying that profile updated but still, no score is displayed and application status remains ineligible.

I am 29 years old with Bachelors in Engineering and nearly 7 years of experience in NOC 1112. My ILETS score is Reading 7, Writing 7.5, Speaking 7, Listening 8.5

There is no way that I am ineligible for express entry, I am wondering why this is happening maybe I am missing something. Could anyone please help with this?

Also, when entering the details of education I am not putting 12 years of secondary and higher secondary education, I am only putting Bachelors of engineering is this the probable reason?

Thanks,
Bhupinder

Hello Everybody!

I really need you help on this. I ordered an ECA from WES and got my report. However, I read on another forum that IRCC cannot access my application in the normal package. I ordered A duplicate ECA Package which contains a report via edelivery to IRCC. I received an email confirmation today from WES and it says "This is to confirm that World Education Services (WES) has processed your order and shipped your evaluation report to your recipient(s). 1. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada(IRCC)".

Can you guys please confirm me that I did things correctly? I am actually waiting for the next extraction...

Thank you a lot in advance

Thank you the stunner! I appreciated it a lot. Just to make sure: By "removing it from EE" you meant removing it from work history, right? I'll just move her work experience to her personal history? I'm going to upload the documents and submit our application this week and I want to make sure that I'm doing everything right. Thank you
