Has anyone got a status/seek bar on their express entry profile after documents submission. I applied on May 5, got AOR on May 6. But there is no status bar as of now! Anyone has got it?
I think they haven't started processing applications in May yet.

My spouse has not worked in the last four years. In her personal history when I select unemployed or homemaker the system still asks for job title and name of employer. What should I put there?

Basically it ask two questions.

1. Please describe what this person was doing during this period (e.g job title, positions, etc) (required)

2. Please provide the name of company, employer, school or facility as appropriate. (Required)

Should I put NA for both?

If you only worked from January 20, 2018 to December 13, 2018, you did not have one-year work experience. You lack more than a month and you do not meet the minimum requirement for CEC program.

I am confused how I should answer my complete academic years under the education section. I did my bachelors from Canada and official length of the program was 4 years.

However, I failed in a few subjects and did took some courses part time. Overall I finished my degree over a course of 11 semesters rather than the regular 8. In my transcript it shows all 11 semesters which include 9 full time and 2 part time semesters.

Now should I put full academic years as 4 or 5.5.

I have looked all around the forum but was unable to find an answer to my questions! Your help would truly be appreciated!!

Your employment is with a company in Canada. Your travel to the USA is on your business trips so there should be no problem.
Thank you, wanted to confirm. I just completed my 1 year in April, roughly I have about 2-3 months of outside Canada stay so wanted to ensure my application does not get into any sort of questions.

Canada is your country of residence at the moment.

Hello everyone. I received my ITA in the latest round of draw of 447. My CRS Score was 465 when I created my profile. I have canadian education of 2 years, 3 years of Bachelors degree of canada (My Bsc from India) according to WES And 4 yers of Bachelors degree of Canada (My Msc from India) according to WES. Hence, total 3 degrees i have. This gave me 128points for my education. However, once I received the invitation, and I updated my profile with the other more questions required to fill up before we reach the document checklist, I found that my CRS score has now increased to 472. My education specifically has 135 points instead of 128 ( 7 point jump). I have not changed anything in the education section. It is the same as when I created my profile. My question to everyone is am I making any mistake or IRCC recalculated my points and gave me more. I am so confused. Please help me out. Please reply back...

Thank you!

What should I fill in for travel histories for this question "Provide details of any trips X has taken outside his/her country of origin or of residence in the last ten years (or since his/her 18th birthday if this was less than ten years ago). Include all trips: tourism, business, training, etc."

Should I include trips to Canada?
For example : June 2016 to April 2018 - Canada- to study

or should I not include any trips to Canada? Only trips going out from Canada?
I hope that makes sense.

No need to include any trip between Canada and your home country.

"Provide details of any trips X has taken outside his/her country of origin or of residence in the last ten years (or since his/her 18th birthday if this was less than ten years ago). Include all trips: tourism, business, training, etc."

According to my understanding, you have 3 degrees in total and Canadian education is 2 years. Please double check your answers to the level of Canadian education. CRS will be different for 2 years and 3 years.
