Hi Guys,
I hope everyone is doing well and excited for the next draw.
I am an inland applicant and I have few questions regarding my EE profile. I really need your opinions and suggestions. Could someone please enlighten me about these points.
1. My husband is a Canadian citizen. How do I exclude him on my EE profile? There is a question "Is your spouse accompanying you in Canada?" Should I answer "no" to this question? Will they require his documents post-ITA? What documents should we prepare?
2. How can i claim the sibling points in EE? There's a question under relatives in Canada - "Does applicant have a relative who is a citizen or permanent resident of Canada? (The relative must be 18 or older and living in Canada.)? In this case, I do have lots of Canadian citizen relatives which is my husband, my mom and dad, my grandmother, my uncles and aunts, and also my sister. Should I choose "sister/brother" to be able to claim the sibling points? Or should I choose "spouse" so CIC knows that my husband does not need to be in my application? I am really confused about this?
3. As I mentioned that my husband is Canadian citizen, does he needs to get upfront medical exam as well? I booked my upfront medical on Sep 21, 2017. I would like to know if he also needs one.
4. I am hoping to qualify in EE Canadian Experience Class I started working on Sep 6, 2016. What is the best date to apply? The whole year I worked for 40 hrs/week except for the week mentioned below. I counted the weeks from Sep 6, 2016 till date minus the one week unpaid leave and it looks like that tomorrow, Sep 8, 2017, i have completed my 52 weeks. Do you think it is safe to submit my EE profile tomorrow or should I wait till next Friday?
Nov 28 - Dec 2, 2016 (exactly one week) - vacation not paid
May 22 - May 29, 2017 - paid vacation
5. I already have a AINP PNP application submitted in January 2017. I received my AOR in March 2017, paid my landing fee upfront. My question is should I pay again landing fee (if luckily i received an ITA) for my express entry application so it won't delay the processing? I need suggestions.
6. Lastly, I checked in CIC website the proof of funds required. Since there are 2 people in my application (my son and I), do I need to show at least $15,312 or $$18,825 for 3 people (my son, husband and I). Honestly, we only have $12,000 CAD in our savings account so that's what I put in my EE profile. Should I worry about this since I am hoping to be qualified in EE CEC stream?
Thank you in advance for all your replies and suggestions and it is greatly appreciated. Have a nice day.
