I need some advice regarding my employment documents.

I have about 3-4 years of overseas experience and I have been working in Canada for over a year now. However, I am indecisive about including my overseas experience, as my relationship with the employer didn't end up well. I have all the payslips and employment letter, and the income tax slips as well. I also have the employer's (company) name on my work visa for that country. However, I am worried that if I claim points for my overseas experience, and CIC verifies that with my previous employer, my manager may write something bad about me. Is that a risk I should take?

Also, the employment letter they provided has the company's address and the Director's signature, but it does not have the email, phone or website address. If, however, I do a Google search the directors' name, company details, address, and business registration is visible. It was a small company.

• If I do not include my overseas experience, I get about 436 points.
• If I include my overseas experience, my points increase to 486.

What do you advise?

Definitely mention your overseas experience.

Regarding background verification, you will need a reference letter from that employer. You can get that signed from one of your colleague. Its accepted.

Hi everyone, I have a question. Is it possible to list the father of my daughter as a dependant? We are not married and we do not stay together as is required by common law but we would like to move to Canada together. I have listed that I have never been married on my express entry profile but what I need clarity on now is the number of dependents. Can I include both my daughter and her father?

No, You can not.

 

[Desmosome]

Thank you very much. I have registered to the mcc after paying $287. Pls what is d next step. Thanks

Please has anyone had similar experience of failure to conclude ECA on the said date? The Wes evaluation, completion date was supposed to be yesterday the 20th of April. But it hasn't been concluded as of now and here now is 21st. What could be the reason for this setback? Between, the usual final review they put up a few days to the completion date never showed up. When they were contacted on social media, they promised that the ECA will be available for download at the end of the day of 20th April 2018 (00:00hrs EST), which never happened. What could be the reason for this please? Your feedback will be appreciated. Thank you.

give it a day or two, you will get it. It happened in my case and after completion date, it was available to download after 4 days.

The CRS is expected to be around 440 till August this year, so, if you can get WES before that, you will be able to get ITA for sure.

On the flip side, even if you get PR without your spouse and you have to sponsor your wife, you can do it. Its bit tedious but not impossible. You will have to wait a little longer.

Thanks for the quick response. I also heard, one can include spouse even after ITA, only thing is the score will be recalculated and if its equal or more then what was during ITA than you are allowed to proceed. Only worry is, it should not drop.
This is true right? Pl help me out on this.

Hi,

My spouse received her ITA in the April 11th draw. At that time the IELTS Test report form hard copy had not arrived and hence we did not have the exact TRRF number and the Report Date. So, based on suggestions in other threads we constructed the TRRF number as they follow a specific format.While doing so there was a mismatch in just 1 digit. i.e 17 instead of 18 (this was to refer to the year of exam). and also the report date was off by one day.

Should we decline the invite and make the correction in the EE profile or make the correction in the Permanent Residency application and explain in LoE that it was human error ? (Note: No errors in the scores so does not affect points)

Dear All,

Need your opinion regarding my WES application. I am from India and have done a 2 year full time post graduate programme (certificate course) in Real Estate & Urban Infrastructure Management (PGP-REUIM), from National Institute of Construction Management & Research (NICMAR). The college I did my PGP is not approved by AICTE but was approved by university grant commission (UGC India).

So should I put my NICMAR education as University education or professional education ? ???

As mentioned on WES web site professional education is the one that is from Institute of Chartered Accountants, Institute of Cost and Work Accountants, Institution of Engineers, Institute of Company Secretaries institutes only and the people pass under this category must have a certificate of membership which I don't have as my education doesn't need a certificate of membership from any organization/institute.

My college (NICMAR) doesn't come under any University in India, as it is an autonomous college. ???

What should I do please suggest.

Hey Aditya,

I did my Advanced Construction Management from NICMAR. Did you get any Positive response from WES.

 

[Once-A-Marketer]

Definitely mention your overseas experience.

Regarding background verification, you will need a reference letter from that employer. You can get that signed from one of your colleague. Its accepted.

Thanks for your reply, mr.preetsing.

I have no way of getting the letter from my employer or from any previous colleagues. The documents I have is what I have above. I do have a letter, but it has no email or phone number.

 

[Dimps]

Yes, you can follow that.

Thank you for the reply. In case I choose to be an international student, is obtaining education in Canada will give good additional points once I re-enter express entry after graduation? Should I take a 2 year course or 1 year?

Hello All,
I have a question. Please help.
Below is the situation.
This is regarding my spouse who is the secondary applicant on my express entry profile.
She has done her bachelor's degree which has been evaluated as 'Bachelor's degree (three years)' from WES.
After that, she has done her post graduate diploma from correspondence which has been evaluated as 'Two years of post-secondary study at a non-recognized institution ' by WES. In the remarks WES has mentioned as 'The credential is not comparable to a completed Canadian education
credential.'

My question is - What do I fill in the Education History section for my spouse ? Do I mention the correspondence diploma OR just the bachelors's degree and leave the diploma altogether. I understand I wont get the points for the post graduate diploma, the question only is what to fill?
If i omit it, will I be questioned later ?

You should mention only what is recognised, i.e. bachelors degree.
