Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi,
I have a query regarding PCC
I have been in India only but have changed 3 states.
Gurgaon( present job location- pcc done)
Chandigarh (permanent add- pcc done)

Chennai ( degree place, stayed for 3 yrs - period 2012-2015)
Recently someone suggested to get pcc from there also as I have stayed there for more than 6 months. Please guide is it necessary to get clearance from the place you have studied.

Hi,

You need PCC for the whole country, not separate states.

regards

Hi - I need to get the reference/ skills certificate from my previous employer, but the HR is asking for manager endorsement. My managers have left the organization, can someone suggest on the options that i have. Can i get a letter from my colleagues whom i have worked in the previous organization? If yes, do i need to get the same notarized? I am currently based out of India and the notary is asking for the presence of my friend who is endorsing the letter?

Can please someone help?

P.S. got the invite to apply, preparing documents for submission.

Regards
V

If you are going to use this letter it must definitely be notarised. However, there is no guarantee that this letter will be acceptable. What other supporting documents do you have?

I would do everything in my power to get an official letter, even if it means hunting down my old manager.

All the best

Thank you Tanaka for the reply.
I am sorry, can you please guide me how to raise CSE and also about ordering GCMS notes?

Thanks in advance!

A CSE is raised through your AOR. There is a link there.
For GCMS notes follow this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp. They can only be requested by a Cnadian Citizen or PR holder.

All the best

Hi Guys,

Did you have to upload your IELTS or CELPIP results once you received an ITA?
I always thought I have to upload one, but on my document checklist it doesn't mention anything about it.

Hi,

They dont need the actual certificate as they check using the certificate number. However, it is good practice to upload it together with your degree certificates and ECA.

All the best

Can someone help me to understand how CIC calculates Express Entry CRS score for age? I was checking age chart on CIC site and if someone is 29 years 11 months old then it should be considered as 29 years or 30 years?

If you are 29yrs 11 months on the day you get an ITA you are 29. Even if it's a day before your birthday.

[teenzky]

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

yes, the equivalent is 2yr 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?

Hi SreejithVM,

I think we are on the same boat. You can read my sentiments on this thread (page 786-787). My application was in the pool for 6 months but got an email from CIC that my FSW entry is no longer eligible but I am definitely sure that I am qualified. The attachment did not specify the reason and it only says to following:

To qualify for Express Entry, you must meet the minimum eligibility criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker
Program, and/or the Federal Skilled Trades Program and/or the Canadian Experience Class. Based on the
information you gave in your profile, you do not appear to meet the minimum eligibility criteria for any of these
programs at the moment.
Below are a few examples of why a candidate will be found ineligible:
• not having a valid language test,
• language test results that are more than two years old,
• a language test score that is too low,
• not having enough relevant work experience,
• not having the required education level,
• not having enough funds.

Hi Seniors,

Please, I am currently studying for my master's degree in Canada since September 2016. I used my Bachelor's degree n my three years works experience to check whether I am eligible for the Express Entry and I was deemed eligible. I have proceeded to do the ECA and the IELTS. And also have received a reference letter from my former employer (Headmaster- since I was a Teacher) confirming my experience.
My question is, do I still have to show the same amount of Funds (in the POF) as someone who is not currently residing in Canada? Besides, I have a study permit that allows me to work a maximum of 20hrs/wk when registered full-time and work full-time during breaks. How much funds to I show in my account?
Thanks for your response in advance.

Hi

In filling out the Personal history section, just trying to make a few corrections and i cant seem to add organization as a heading for Activity type. It is one of the options but it brings up a warning sign "
Warning


Any period of time you indicate as being a member of an organization will not count as part of the 10-year personal/address history you are required to provide. "

problem is when I filled this part a week ago, this warning was not there.
Does anyone know if anything has changed in this regard
If so how will one add a volunteer position in personal history??. eg under what activity type

 

[mrzbd]

No need to be confused bro this is simple.

The key instruction here is family members that have not been mentioned in the application, or something like that.
So you and your spouse need to mention your parents and siblings. Don't mention each other as you are already in the application.
For you child don't mention anyone as both his parents are in the application already. So answer Yes to the question have you told us about all his family members and move on.

Regards

Hi Tanaka,

I was just giving a final check to the information I've provided before submitting. But , surprisingly i found some information missing. Although in summary page everything was showing completed.Even the educational history, my passport details which were already in EE profile pre-ITA stage are missing. What to do now? I have to add all these data before final submission. Do I need to provide these information again by filling up OR there are some way around to get these things automatically filled up ?

Thanks
