Hi @legalfalcon

am done with gathering all documentation, and now stuck to submit eapr only because of this point...many ppl suggested me to take a final opinion from you,...kindly help me in this elaborative but lengthy query..

Description
I have shown only my first org experience (2007 to 2012) in work history as a single row stating exp in country -India from 2007 to 2012 WITH Desgnation as Senior Tech Assoc, WITHOUT stating anything about UK exp.My work exp in this org has been in India(Noida, Pune),In between was sent to UK from same org on WP (Intra company transfer Tier2 Visa ) for 7 months. My NOC remained the same.
P.N. - my ref letter from org shows roles n resps from 2007 to 2012 and doesnt mention anything abt locations served or UK etc.
How shall I show my UK work experience now (post ITA)...

OPTION 1
: I just keep one row in work history- 2007 TO 2012 India Senior tech assoc and same populated in Personal history as single row without any mention of UK exp in PH, though explaining it in LoE and mentioning UK details in address history and travel history plus have already got UK PCC with No Trace.
This option has also been confirmed by a senior expert Asinivad on this forum referring below thread-
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/work-history-need-urgent-help.394732/

OPTION 2: keeping 1 row India work exp in WH, and splitting into 3 rows in PH and mention the actual deisgnations (along with attaching promotion letter) As in
india 2007 to 2010 july (Noida,Pune) Tech Assoc
uk 2010 july to 2011 feb Tech assoc
india 2011 feb to 2012 nov Tech assoc and senior tech assoc (since got promoted in July 2011)

Additional information (Multiple Designations but only latest mentioned in ref letter) -- The reason i am preferring to keep it a single row in PH without mentioning UK experience (7 months ) and without splitting into 3 rows in PH was that I have been into two designations in this org (Tech Associate and Senior Tech Assoc though roles remain same) , but my ref letter states THAT I WORKED AS SENIOR TECH ASSOC FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION. I asked my org to rectify that but they replied in a standard response saying this is as per company format...
For spliiting this work experience based on location n deisgnations, i will have to split into 3 rows stating my designations also and my deisgnation was Tech Assoc till 2011, and got promoted to Senior Tech Assoc in late 2011.

Queries
1. Implication high or it is petty - Is it such a big thing that might cause some impact on consideration of my application if i chose option 1 as want to play safe stating my single last designation or should I go with option 2...but then how to manage the designations thing bcos my job letter doesnt state tech assoc as designation....Kindly suggest, Am i thinking too much on this?
2 Recommendation -Keeping all the above information in mind....what do you recommend ? option 1 or option 2 or both are ok and your suggestions plz how to keep it easy for VO on this
If your work was the same, same designation, same everything, then you need not worry. Just mention this in LoE, and it will be reflected in your personal and travel history any way. The LoE is important since there will be a dichotomy between your personal history and work, as one will mention UK.

So address it in LoE. I am not sure how your reference letter looks like, but usually it could have been addressed in the reference letter itself, which would have made things more crisper.

Also, how does your reference letter deal with the salary. I am sure your must be getting salary in UK in GBP, which would be different from your salary structure in India?

hi @legalfalcon,

Kindly refer to the private message I sent. It contains screenshots from my GCMS notes that's why it was sent privately. Many thanks :)
Give me a few days. I had a big arbitration case, which just concluded, so I was very busy and didn't even visit the forum. Also, I am in India for a few weeks, and the internet sucks, sometimes I just lose interest in doing anything over the internet.

I have 267 messages in my inbox. I will try and clear most of them by next weekend.

Hi @legalfalcon
I would like to ask for your advice because i checked my cic account today and it says there that they havent received my medical results where in fact I already did my medical last march 29 and I even called ircc last week to check if they received my medical results and the agent said that she can see my medical results and it says there also that i passed. I am just wondering why it says in my online account that medical results not received. Im kinda sad and confused right now. I hope you can enlighten me in this mattar. Thank you
Its just a transcription issue. Raise a CSE and also send an email to CPC, Ottawa.

It should be fixed in no time. Just to cross check and be sure, you can request GCMS notes and see it it says pass. If you GCMS notes say meds received and passed, no need to worry. MyCIC portal is good for nothing, excepting uploading and filing the application.

Hello @legalfalcon

Have couple of queries, if you could kindly help me out. :) Post - ITA Queries

1) I am currently pursuing final year MBA. So in "Personal History" under "Level of education", can I mention it as "Master's degree"? I do not see any other alternative option.

2) Post ITA I changed my NOC code form 1311 to 1111. I got my duties reviwed by "noc@workingincanada.gc.ca". So, shall I attach this email in LOE, to be on safe side?

3)My ex-employer and manager refused to sign "Job reference letter". So I have obtained it from my colleague. Now she had left the company on 20 November 2016 and I left on 20 Janaury 2017. I hope, this will not have an impact on my application.

Thanks a ton :)
1) YEs, only of you say pursuing education, and not yet graduated. Also, make sure that the MBA is not a PGD.

2) Not required. You can change your details post ITA as long as it does not impact your score and changing NOC has no impact on your CRS. If you do want to mention the review of duties, you can, no harm.

3) Not an issue as long as your colleague wrote a letter which has everything as required by IRCC. Also you can mention this in LoE and let IRCC know that your employer refused to give you a reference letter and you got one from a colleague who no longer works there. If not on the reference letter, provide the contact details of your colleague who signed the letter.

Cheers!

Hello @legalfalcon,

I need your help on an urgent question. While creating my EE Profile I mentioned all of my secondary and post secondary degrees till my highest degree which is M.Phil. I have ECA for my MPhil degree only. What do you suggest should I delete all the degrees other than my highest one? As someone told me that once I get ITA they will ask me to provide proof for all of my degrees. I can upload their scans but I do not have ECA reports for my MA, BA, FA and Matriculation degrees. Please suggest. and the same question for my spouse's degrees as I mentioned all of them though I have ECA only for highest one.

I will be highly grateful for your guidance.
Only your highest degree is required, and under education you can either have all, or only your highest degree. If you write all, you will have to upload all the degree certificates, but the ECA is only required for your highest degree.

Also, even if you remove your other degrees from education, it will still be there in your personal list.

As a safe mesure, you can mention this in your LoE.

Hi @legalfalcon
I have a question about my GCMS notes that I couldn't find an answer for anywhere in this forum.

I'm a qswp applicant and I have all Eligibility, medical, criminality passed-Security: Not started. However, on the second page, I have a new section under HC-CDA/ Referral/ MICC# (s.15(1)).
Also, the officer review was positive but ended with "Ready for PS" and the current Location of my application shows PS. I don't know what does that mean.
I searched for HC-CDA and I found it may be "Humanitarian & Compassionate - Canada" and for MICC it stands for (Ministère de l’immigration et des communautés culturelles)
I don't have any blank pages or any s.15 on the top right corners. just this one referred to this line.

My question does this mean that I'm going through SS. or it's something else? what about PS, what does it stand for?
If your security has not started you cannot be under SS.

Dear @legalfalcon

I ordered gcms notes and received the result today and I listed the assessment part of the result below.
Assessments
Eligibility : Not started
Security : Not started
Criminality : Not started
Medical : in progress
Info sharing : Complete

My AOR was on Feb 19,2018. On my EE profile page it seems I'm in IP1 without medspassed. On gcms it says almost all of the process is not started . My file was sent from CIO to LVO on beginning of March.
Does it mean completenes check was not completed when my file was sent to LVO?? Is it possible to tell my application status from the above info? i.e; did I pass the completeness and r10 review??

Also on note 4 it says case parked because awaiting pnp verification
Thank you very much
The R10 is done at CIO, and by now should have been done.

See the notes at the last, i.e. the last 4-5 pages and you will have a note for R10.

Dear @legalfalcon

Would you be aware if a Canada PR holder wants to work in the US, what is the kind of US VISA required. Would it be H1B or some other Visa?
Also, if Canada PR holders are given any preference for H1B Visa?

Thanks
H1B.

As a Canadian PR, you do not get any special status. Inly after you become a Canadian citizen you can apply for a NAFTA work visa, which is simpler to get.

Dear legalfalcon,

Thanks very much for your earlier responses to me. I'm an Indian citizen also residing in India and have reached IP1 stage so far. I've found a job and moving to Ireland very soon. However, if and upon getting a PPR, I intend to return to India and continue rest of the process from India itself. I'm not sure if I need to inform about my change of country and address. If I do so, will my local office change to London? My concerns are with respect to New Delhi versus London VOs, is there any difference with respect to processing times? Do we have to inform about travel plans post-AOR?
If you change your address and country you have to inform IRCC. Your LVO will still be NDVO, but only for some processing, then it will go to London for finalization.

Any thing except NDVO is faster.

Hi Legalfalcon,

Thank you for your prompt response. However, when i updated the same info for (Do you have job offer) in my EE profile, it did not update my points. May be because i need an LMIA to claim those additional 50 points? Can you please clarify that? Also, i am on open work permit
If you have a open work permit you do not need LiMA.

Hey Legalfalcon, how much time usually it takes to pass eligibility in express entry? I'm waiting since July 2017!
Thanks
There is no set timeline, usually in 3-4 months post AoR.

Hi @legalfalcon. My file is at NDVO. My gcms notes say eligibility not passed on second page.however case process officer at cio has put notes that A11.2 met.the officer has also written “proof of funds review required- family of 2 needs 15500 cad”. I have shown 17000 cad which is all available.
Is this a reason for me to be concerned? Or is this standard that the lvo has to check?
[

QUOTE="legalfalcon, post: 6881327, member: 578891"]If you have shown 17K, no need to worry. The officer will review it and you will be fine.
Hi @legalfalcon .On the same topic,the 17k that I showed 3k is in a joint account with my spouse. My spouse is already in Canada. I did not give any statutory no objection declaration of funds from my spouse. U think that this could be a reason for saying review required?[/QUOTE]

If you show your spouses funds, which are in your spouses account, then you need a declaration from your spouse that she has no objection in you using the funds for settlement. This is usually in form of an affidavit and explained in LoE. The review can also be because of the currency. If the POF is in INR or a foreign currency, then the officer and not the case analyst will make a final determination.

Send the affidavit from your wife via CSE.

What stage of EE are you at. If you just entered the pool and didn't;t get an ITA, make a new profile


If you did get an ITA, send a message to technical help with your application number. Then you can make a new profile and your application will be transferred to the new profile.
