Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hello All,

I need some clarification on the medical tests done post ITA.

1. Although i have booked an appointment with a approved doctor, but is it mandatory to get it done before submitting the application?
2. Would a history of high BP and uric acid effect my candidature?

Awaiting your valuable response.

Thanks

Hi Guys. Can someone confirm whether any changes made to profile post-ITA are tracked by IRCC? I need to correct dates under employment history by one month for two positions. Should I explain the reason for this change in LOE?

hi there I am just wondering.. 2yrs post Secondary is what? could just be a certificate/diploma/degree. I think the minimum is atleast post secondary diploma right? I am not entirely sure. And also I just read that they have made some changes to the points system. Somewhere along the line of being able to claim points for family in Canada.

2yrs post secondary diploma is the equivalent of my bachelors degree in my country. I even tried to re-assess my application and it shows I am eligible, got 72pts in fsw assessment grid. What could be wrong?

Hi,
1) Yes, it is.
2) No, it shouldn't unless they are uncontrolled. Just declare these during your medicals, they shouldn't be an issue.

All the best

Thanks TanakaM, I did sign it for OINP, but maybe I won't for the PR application, as I got a 20 pages LOE, and if i have to print, sign and scan, it will be difficult to keep it under 4mb and legible.

Cool.. should be fine. If they specifically wanted it signed they would have mentioned it.

All the best

Dear All,

I received ITA almost a month back.
Collected all the necessary documents.
Did by medicals already.

I should be applying for my visa in the next 3-4 working days

I see that most of you all applied for the visa first and then got the medical request.

To all the Experts out there: Please advise the time schedule it will take for me in my case since I have almost done all the necessary from my end.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
medicals are actually done before submitting, just like you have done. You can actually submit without a medical report.

IRCC expect to process the majority of application within 6 months but could take less or more depending on your specific case.

All the best

does any of minimum requirement expire ? such language or experience

Experience has to be from the past 10 years.
It could also be that you had a birthday that affected you eligibility scores.

Thanks for your reply.... What were the status changes on your profile you saw on the CIC website over the past 2 months ??

AOR email is something that you would receive one you apply.

What other status on the website did you see ?

What about interviews.....is it case to case ?

Awaiting your reply.

And Good luck to you.

2yrs post secondary diploma is the equivalent of my bachelors degree in my country. I even tried to re-assess my application and it shows I am eligible, got 72pts in fsw assessment grid. What could be wrong?

But is it equivalent to a canadian degree or post secondary canadian diploma?

Not so good news for my application. After waiting for 4 months, got a message that we are not eligible for express entry and asked to check the attachment for more details. But the attachment is blank, anyone else experienced the same before? What should I do now, how can I know the reason for rejection and also is there any use if I re-apply?

Dear Seniors,

Ill be providing the following as proof of employment. please be kind enough to advice if anything else is required.

1. Reference letter from HR: Includes everything except for Supervisor Details and Number of hours per week as it is against company policy. However, they have mentioned that I am a Full-time Permanent Employee.
2. Salary Confirmation letter
3. Six months salary slips
4. A reference letter from a colleague: stating my number of hours per week and my supervisor's details. this will be signed only by my colleague.

Do I have to get a letter from my Supervisor as well? I would prefer not to due to obvious reasons.
Further, do I have to provide an LOE or are these documents straight forward enough for the VISA Officer?
Your advice is highly valued. thanks in advance

I haven't seen any yet. Hopefully soon.

Read this post on the stages an application goes through:

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/aor-april-2016-join-here.405705/page-25#post-5254511

With regards to interviews, its very rare to be called for one. I have actually only heard of 3 people who were called for interviews. So there is less than a 5% chance of being called.

Good luck to you too!
