CEC April 2020 applicants join here for updates.

[Walle_007]

Got ITA today. CRS 465
I have a couple of questions.

As my PNP application is in the process, I and my spouse (outland) have done medical and biometrics already last year.

1. I did medical in Sep 2019 and spouse in Oct 2019. Can we use this medication in our express application?
2. Spouse (outland) also did biometrics in Oct 2019, valid for 10 years. how can I add that biometric in the express application?
3. I am currently visiting back home and stuck here coz of COVID 19 and I do not have a current job in Canada ( though I do have arrangements with couple of employers who are willing to employ me when I come back) but considering I do not have any current job, would it affect my CEC application anyway?

Thank you guys,

Hi folks! How are you guys providing proof of financial support? I was of the understanding that CEC candidates are not required to provide this, however, it is listed as one of the required documents on my portal. See below for an excerpt from the CIC site.


Proof of funds – Skilled immigrants (Express Entry)

We’ve updated the table that shows how much money you need to settle in Canada. To stay eligible, you may need to update your settlement fund numbers in your Express Entry profile. The update must be done no later than February 25, 2020.
Updating your profile doesn’t change the date and time that we received it, so you’ll keep your rank if you’re in a tie-breaker situation.
Proof of funds is how you show us that you have enough money to settle in Canada. If we invite you to apply, you must give written proof that you have this money.
Who needs proof of funds
You need proof of funds to meet the minimum requirements of the

• Federal Skilled Worker Program
• Federal Skilled Trades Program

Who does not need proof of funds
You don’t need to show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family if

• you’re applying under the Canadian Experience Class or

What I read and heard that we need to attach a draft paper there writing " Applying under CEC hence not required to provide proof of funds". Seniors can confirm this???

I imagine that the idea is, if you have been living and working here and you qualify for CEC, you must be able to financially support yourself.

Thank you guys,

1. Medical should be good if it did not expire which is one year after taking the medical exam.

2.https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/campaigns/biometrics/facts.html

you will have to give Biometrics every time you apply for PR.

3. I am not in a best position to answer this. Hopefully, somebody else will be able to shed some light on it.

Just upload a letter of explanation stating that as a CEC applicant you are not required to upload any

Does anybody able to answer inquiry # 3?
Thanks,

Not having a current job does not affect your CEC application. You just have to show proof of your past experience which made you a candidate for PR.
