Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi Friends,

I have a question regarding my ECA. My university's degree is not being evaluated by any of the evaluation bodies except IQAS and I have secured the ECA from them. I am just curious whether if its possible that I receive an ITA and IRCC rejects my ECA?

Thanks

Hi,

IQAS is one for the accredited bodies, so IRCC will simply check with them to see if your ECA is genuine. If confirmed, they can not reject it.

So you are good to go.

That's a relief. IQAS has already issued the ECA and I have received the hard copy original as well.

Thanks a lot

I see no reason why it would become invalid.

Thanks , And one more related question.
I am a resident of US , traveled to India on a vacation on July 18th. I received ITA on Aug 08th.
I have received my Indian and FBI PCC on Sep 1st at my US address while I am in India.
Now I am planning to submit my application from India as I am planning to stay here until Dec.

Following are the guidelines from CIC:
If your country of residency is USA, then:

• For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.

If other countries where you have lived:

• For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country.

Following are my concerns:
1) FBI PCC - Since I am a resident of US (I have my driving licence and bank statements there). First rule applies for my US PCC and I should be good as my PCC is issued in less than 6 months.

2)Indian PCC - I received my Indian PCC from Indian embassy in SFO. Here Second rule applies , and I think I am good because I got my PCC on Sep 1st which is after my last visit to my home country which is July 18th. The rule states "police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country" , but since I am still living in India on Vacation I think my PCC is valid.

Pls advice if there is any risk of my PCC rejection in this scenario?

This is perfectly fine aslong as you submit your application while you are still in India.

So since you will be there until December you are good to go.

One more thing. Since you have been in Indian since July and you intend to be there for a long time, I would suggest you add the Indian address to address history, and make a note of your situation in your LOE. This is just to avoid confusion.

Just my take.

 

[MedZed]

Hi,
I want to make sure my responsibilities match the NOC and I want to send them as an email for CIC.
Is there any valid email address for checking the NOC?
Thanks.

Hello..

I have already created my EE profile and have entered five and half years experience. All my experience is in one NOC (2112). My first two job accounts for two and half years while the third one is exactly for three years.

So, I would like to know whether it would be a good idea to move first two jobs into personal history and include only the last three years experience?

Quite a few of members have suggested me that one should always provide minimal documentation after satisfying the eligibility criteria, may be because it will save a lot of effort on my part by not having to worry about arranging documentation for those periods and on CIC's part also, as they will have to only verify only three years experience.

Also, I am bit confused with calculating the duration of my work experience. I am following duration as three years. please correct me if I m wrong.

1. The UCI number is generated after you submit your PR application (post receiving ITA) and pass the medicals.

2. Other forum members have reported that they've shown Mutual Fund and/or Provident Fund as PoF. Please read the threads on PoF - there's a lot of information and guidance there.

3. Your direct manager can issue the letter on plain paper and you can then get it notarised to add legal validity. Remember to add his or her business card along with the reference letter. The CIC website and several threads on this forum have information about what the reference letter should contain. Please read and do some research before approaching your manager.

Good luck.

2- You have to go through general checkup (weighing, eyesight etc.), X-ray, blood and urine test. Panel of physicians who which test they have to conduct so don't worry about it.
3- you need experience letter Post ITA if you have claimed points for your employment.

the documents and LoE page comes after you complete all the other things after hitting "continue application" button... its right at the end

but dont worry - you can go right to the end also, and come back and make any changes you want on the first page... basically any new information you enter on the post ITA page (like travel history, family details etc) can be changed at any time... until you submit the final application and pay the fees... after that no cahnges can be made directly on the portal.
