Spouse ECA/ Work History

[coolguy_dec]

Hi

In my EE - FSW profile I mentioned my wife's work experience in the Work History and also mentioned her education but without ECA credentials and specified that the ECA was not done.
1. Now, in my ITA can I remove the work history and move it to the personal history section
2.In the Study section should I select No as the option for Post Secondary Education?

Thanks

Can anyone please suggest if the above is fine?

1 - Yes assuming this is foreign work experience.
2 - You can mention "no" or simply only include her educational credentials in the personal history section.

Yes she only has foregin Work ex.

Also, should I upload her experience certificates and degrees in a single pdf ?

If you remove her work experience and education and only mention them in the personal history then there won't be a placeholder for you to upload the files.

The above is fine as you didn't claim points for those factors.

Hi,
But it will not consider as misrepresentation when you enter Spouse work experience in personal history and not in work history ? whether you are claiming points or not . as work history section clearly ask about spouse has any work history.

If I had a dollar for every time I've answered this question...

No, it is not misrepresentation.

Thanks ! But we may need to upload LOE for the same as mentioned by other members. Also ,as per CIC we may not need to upload reference letter for spouse work experience (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp)
Individuals who must submit this documentation

• The principal applicant
• Their spouse or common-law partner (if work experience in Canada is claimed)

so it means if you added it in work history then provide whatever doc you have.

I'm not in favor of uploading documents that add absolutely nothing to your eligibility/CRS, complete waste of time.

Do whatever floats your boat.

I need similar help, in the ITA i mentioned my spouse education but choose "not have a ECA" option and did not claimed any Points ,
Now in PR application , should i mention her education in education category or personal history (ps. i do have her degree and transcript)

You can leave it as is and upload the documents you have.

I simply do not like this approach as uploading degrees that weren't assessed is simply a waste of time.

Thanks for your reply , this shouldn't have any negative impact on my application as i was honest about the degree position ?

It's fine.

Hello All,
In my express entry profile builder, I put my spouse's education as "none or less than secondary school", because her degree certificate has not been issued, and the university is a lazy bug when asked for documents as it was distance education. I did that in order to avoid getting points for it. Now after receiving the ITA and filling out the rest of the questions, where do I show about my spouse's education ? should I write it in personal history ? and say in LOE that she has not received her certificates and marks memorandums yet thats why it has been mentioned in personal history ?

Thanks!

Hello all,
Similar to the above query, if i don't get my spouse's ECA done during EE application., can she still work in Canada once we get PR ??
