Thanks Tanaka. Just one more query. Can I take a cash card instead of hard cash? In case I am asked to prove my available funds would a cash card suffice?
Thanks again
No, you would need a bank statement for the last 6 months or a bank letter showing that the funds are in the account. You can have a card instead of cash but u still need the letter.

Hi,

Generally banking is not regulated so you just apply. You would need to do research on course that perhaps increase your employability in the Canadian banking sector. Otherwise, you just apply.

Regards
Once again I thank you for your precious time to reply. It seems, you are a permanent resident of Canada having so much of information about everything. thanks and God bless.please guide me through.

That's not enough information to help you. You have to compare your actual scores to the scores that you calculated and figure out where the discrepancy comes from.
Hi DelPiero07, thanks a ton for the reply. Please find the below attached screenshots of both, CRS tool scores & EE entry scores. Please help me out in this because I am doing it on my own and I don't understand what has went wrong.

I need your expert advice/help. I have checked my NOC as per my job roles, its 0211. After this I checked my CRS points in latest CRS tools, which showed 444 points. I was wrong earlier, so I checked again just now!!
However after EE profile submission, it shows in my application that my overall score is only 402!!
Can you please help me with what must have gone wrong? I am attaching both, CRS tool & EE profile scores below so that you can see both.
Please please help me, I am super confused and nervous.

I'll take a proper look later today but at a first glance it is clear you're not getting any points for your spouses' education. Did you assess her educational credentials?

Also, you are not getting the points you claimed to have for your education, what was your ECA for your studies.

No no no, they are only interested with the account which has the minimum required funds.

Are the funds in a different bank from the loans?
Yes, my funds are in a different account than my loan account, so I should not be showing them right? but I am paying monthly installment from my salary account, will it be ok?

Thanks a lot in advance.

If your funds are in a different bank don't show the account with loans.
You don't need to submit your bank statement, all you need is a bank letter with all the required detail. So don't worry.

If you are comfortable travelling with all the cash I think it's best. Saves you The hustle of having to transfer it later. The statement will be sufficient.

Remember to declare any cash over 10k CAD. It's allowed, you just need to declare .

Hi,

There is a difference in the transferable skills and your spouses education.
Does she have an ECA?
What is your highest level of education?

Hi Guys,

I would like to apply for express entry program. I want to add my boyfriend to my application. we have been living together for two years in Canada. when I was applying for the work visa in November I stated that I am Single .as for the common law it requires to fill in "statuary declaration of the common law" form and it needs to take an oath in the court... so I just stated that I am single at that time.
now that I want to apply for express entry is it going to be a problem if I add my boyfriend as my common law partner?

please help me anyone with the same experience.
Thank you

Hi,

It's ok to have changed status inbetween two applications. Just prepared all the documents you need for common law partnership and then add him.
