Hi,

You need to merge documents into one PDF, not one folder with many PDFs.

Dear All,

Planning to apply for Express Entry in couple of months and have sent questions. I would appreciate if anyone can answer the below questions.

1) In order to keep things ready, can I undergo for medical test and police clearance check before creating a profile in Express Entry? Or both medicals and police checks are to be done only after getting the Invitation To Apply? Kindly respond.

2) Let's say we (me & spouse) got PR Visa through Express Entry and shifter to Canada. Later on, my spouse delivered a baby outside Canada, does the baby become Canadian Citizen or PR by default since parents have PR Visa? If not, what could be the procedure to bring the baby to Canada?

3) Do we need to move to Canada immediately after getting the PR Visa through Express Entry or can we move after six months or one year? I mean, if a person got PR Visa in July 2017, can he move to Canada in July 2018? I am just curious to know how soon we need to move to Canada after getting the PR Visa.

Kindly advise on the above points. Thank you.

Hi,

1) PCC is typically valid for a year, except PCC from your country of residence which is valid for 6 months. Based on this I would create a profile first and get PCC sorted once I'm sure an ITA is coming.
With regards to medicals, make them one of the last things you do as you have to land before they expire. They are valid for 1 year.

2) The baby will not be Canadian citizens if he is born outside Canada, but he can be added to your PR. Don't know what the process is, but you can google it.

3) As stated earlier, you must land before the expiry of your medicals, so you and your dependents may have 6 or so months to land depending on how quickly your application is processed.

All the best

Dear All,

Once you create a profile in EE you would be in a pool. CIC would do draws and once your points are the same or greater than the draw point, you automatically get an ITA (Invitation To Apply). Once you get an ITA, you have 90 days (before it used to be 60 days) to complete the submission.

People do upfront medicals, i.e. you will do medial tests even before CIC asking you, and submit before your ITA submission deadline expires. Ideally people do it closer to the submission date. This is because, once you get an approval, you would have one year time since you did your medicals to land in Canada.

As for Police Clearance, if you have to get PCC from countries other than you are currently residing, maybe you can start the process now. But the PCC of the country you currently reside, it is recommended you start the process only after you get your ITA. So that it stays more current dated.

2) Let's say we (me & spouse) got PR Visa through Express Entry and shifter to Canada. Later on, my spouse delivered a baby outside Canada, does the baby become Canadian Citizen or PR by default since parents have PR Visa? If not, what could be the procedure to bring the baby to Canada?

If the baby is delivered outside Canada, then NO. Baby is neither a citizen or a PR. You would have to apply.

3) Do we need to move to Canada immediately after getting the PR Visa through Express Entry or can we move after six months or one year? I mean, if a person got PR Visa in July 2017, can he move to Canada in July 2018? I am just curious to know how soon we need to move to Canada after getting the PR Visa.

Once you get the approval, you have one year time from your medical date to land in Canada.

CIC states, to maintain your status as a permanent resident, you must live in Canada for at least two years within a five-year period. During this time you must be in Canada physically.

Kindly advise on the above points. Thank you.

If i ask WES to cancel my order i.e. ECA processing via email..till when i would get refund??..i mean how many days!!

I am a FWS-O with Provincial Nomination Candidate. Submitted my online PR(eAPR) application on 12th March, and till date not even passed the medicals. I sent an email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca, but did not get their response. Tried to call them but could not connect to an agent. Any idea what could be causing this delay?

I'm not sure how long it will take them to make a decision, but once your account status says you are due a refund it will take 2-3 days if you paid by card.

"My Account indicates I am owed a refund. How will I receive payment?
WES issues refunds based on the method of payment.

If You Paid By Refund Method Refund Time

Credit/Debit Card Refund to credit/debit card 2-3 days

Check or Western Union Check 3-4 weeks"

If you're a CEC applicant you can remove her from your application and state the reason in a LOE.
