Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Zahid_Uttara]

Don't make any changes which renders your profile ineligible. Not advisable or you might end up locking your profile and the PN along with it.

Thank you very much...

Hi all,
Is there an alternate document to proof of work experience doc? One of my earlier company's have stopped issuing experience letter (with all the details mentioned as per the requirements - job duties/responsibilities, all positions held and so on)
Will the offer letter, relieving letter and a personal reference letter from a colleague/manager on a plain A4 paper be sufficient?
Anyone faced this issue?
Thanks very much in advance for your inputs!!

If yes, then let me know in which category I does fall... and my spouse is working as Assistant Professor in affiliated Engineering College for last 2 years.

Do exactly as your personalized checklist says. Here is the generic checklist from CIC on Passports.

Purpose

To confirm identity

Document requirements

A clear and legible copy of the bio data page must be provided.

Individuals who must submit this documentation

The principal applicant
Their spouse or common-law partner
Their accompanying dependent children

Bother! I am not clear yet. Do we need to upload all stamp pages of current and previous passports or just first page showing personal details!
Moreover, I am resident in Saudi Arabia and have residence permit. Do I need to upload residence permit as well with my passport copy??

Do you have an ITA? If so, what does your personalized checklist say?

Dear All,
I am living here in Saudi Arabia and obtained police report. However, CIC "help", police report is not required at the time of submitting EE application...It will be later when they issue a letter of obtaining the report.
Shall I upload my police report which I have now or leave it....?????

Moreover, I lived in Germany 10 year back and after leaving obtained police report and never went back there. Will it be sufficient or do I need new police report?

That is true. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/mid-east/saudi-arabia.asp

No point in giving your PCC because the instructions are clear.

Moreover, I lived in Germany 10 year back and after leaving obtained police report and never went back there. Will it be sufficient or do I need new police report?

That would be sufficient.

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.


[ In CIC page its mentioned that all the eligible applications will remain in the pool for one year,does it mean that :

1.suppose, IF I make the EE profile today,and if i have all the requird docs,ECA,Ielts etc.i would still need to wait for at least one year before getting ITA?

2.at initial assesment my score is around 437,.any possibility of ITA? ]

No. It means if you create a profile today and do not get an ITA till 3rd July 2016, your profile will be disabled and you'll have to create a new profile.

2.at initial assesment my score is around 437,.any possibility of ITA?

Not in the near future. Cutoffs haven't fallen below 453 yet. Read about provincial nominations and apply where possible.

Yes. You can become the PA provided you are eligible for the FSW program. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Read here for ECA process ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

 

[mechanical95]

Do you have an ITA? If so, what does your personalized checklist say?
Yes, I got ITA. Following is personalized checklist say about passport/identity documents........

Documents: Passports/Travel Documents (Multiple)

"You must provide a clear, legible copy of your valid passport.
Include a copy of the page that shows your birth date, country of origin, etc. any pages with stamps, visas or markings. If you are a citizen or permanent reside of United States, a citizen of Denmark living in Greenland, or a citizen of France living in St. Pierre and Miquelon, your are not required to present a passport. You may present an identity document. Your identity document must show proof of status or citizenship as well as photo identification. Your identity document must include your name, photo, date of birth, document number, and the issue and expiry dates. This document must be issued by your country of citizenship or permanent residence. You must ensure that the identity document you present provides proof of status or citizenship and photo identification. If not, you must scan all necessary identity documents and save them under one identity document file".

Now question is:
Shall I include all previous passports or just the recent one.
What about residence permit of Saudi Arabia. Shall I include or not?

 

[mechanical95]

I worked in a company and had two positions.
Now company issued one letter mentioning both positions with dates.

Shall I add two lines in work history mentioning both positions? if yes, they shall I upload the same experience letter two times while uploading supporting documents......

Moreover, I do not have pay stubs. Shall I upload bank statement that shows my company name and salary transfer each month?
