Hello,
I am fairly new to the whole Express Entry process, so please bear with me if I ask some obvious questions.
I have completed the following things so far:
1. Requested FBI PCC - delivered Dec 28th,'17. I have heard of the new EDO option starting Feb 1st,'18.
2. Submitted Transcripts to WES - Dec 21st, '17. Current status: All docs received and accepted and evaluation scheduled to complete on Feb 12, '18
3. Appeared for IELTS - Jan 6th,'18 (L8.5, R9, W7.5, S8). Received my TRF Jan 30th,'18
4. Experience Letter from my former employer with all the details mentioned on the CIC website.
With my credentials (Masters degree, 3+ year international experience, CLB 9, 29 years age) my current CRS is estimated at 481.
My passport is unavailable to me for the next 2 weeks for some other reason. Once I receive my passport I was thinking of renewing it for address change (so it will be consistent with everything as well as it will be easy to obtain India PCC) and I will get it extended for another 10 years (current expiration date is June 2019)
I am struggling to find the correct NOC and have no way of confirming it. I was an Analytics Manager in my previous role (guessing 2172 based on the jobs and responsibilities)
With the amount of work I have done, can I and should I apply for Express Entry before the upcoming draw and secure my ITA or should I wait to clear my passport renewal, get WES evaluation report, get FBI and India PCC and then apply? The whole aim is to get the whole process done as fast as possible just like everyone else.
Sorry for the long ended storyline here but appreciate some feedback.
