[RENJITH ANITHAKUMARI]

HI MEMBERS,

I am trying to get a PR to Canada, but not sure I am eligible or not. My qualification is higher secondary and I have 10+ years experience in sales. In that 8+ years experience in Shipping and Logistics. in Kuwait. Also got IELTS with over all 7 and R-7, W-6.5, S - 7, L- 7. My wife qualification also higher secondary and we have a kid with 7 years old. Can anyone advise how much chances for me to get PR.

Hey every one,
I am new here. Thinking to apply for canadian immigration through express entry program. I am a bit confused and was wondering if I should do the whole procedure on my own from the scratch or shall I refer to a consultant?
I have my ECA report and IELTS results ready, CRS score is good enough to get ITA, but one thing I wanted to confirm, if I should renew my passport before making profile in express entry? as my passport is going to be expired in feb 2021. How would it reflect the whole procedure if I don't do it now and go on with creating the profile in EE? I know I would have to get it renewed sooner or later but it delay the whole process.

Hello, I have received my ECA from IQAS which states the following for my Engineering and PGDM degrees:

1. Four-year undergraduate degree program
2. Two-year graduate diploma program

Both degrees are from India.

Now while creating the profile in express entry portal, which option should I select in level of education:
1. Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years;
OR
2. Master's degree, or professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession

Please help which option my ECA lies in as this will create a difference of 7 CRS in my application.

Although it won't matter as the system will calculate the points based on the individual entries in your education section based on the ECA.

Hello All, hope someone is able to help me with below.
during initial profile creation I have added work experience that is under different NOC that I am applying with. It is relevant, however it was in different country and 7 years ago.
post ITA, I have to add reference letter from employer, unfortunately I can’t get in contact with them.
Would you suggest I remove that work experience and leave it under activity, so that it is not triggering request of proof of experience, or it’s better to add LOE instead ?

I had a similar thing when I applied last year. I left the experience on and for the evidence of employment uploaded a text explaining that I couldn't get hold of any evidence and the reasons why (i.e. the company HR records didn't go back that far).

I did manage to dig out some old emails sent from the work email address to my personal one and uploaded that along with the explanation. You can check out how I worded the explanation and Express Entry supporting evidence upload here.

Hope this helps.

I tool the CELPIP General Test on Dec-2-2020. While filling the application, the options are CELPIP-G and CELPIP General 2014. I also says that IRCC accepts only CELPIP-G when upon clicking the help icon.

I'm confused, which one should I select?

Hello people ,

I have two questions:

My doubt is : 1. I am going to study for one year so my wife will get an open work visa , need to know that any type of work will count as work experience after a year for her on open work visa or she being a designer has to work in only design related fields to qualify as ' work experience' for gaining additional points?

2. I will study because of which my wife will get a one year work permit, but after a year if her work experience counts and she qualifies with a one year experience then can we apply for express entry with her being the primary applicant? Or is it not allowed because she got work permit because of my study visa?

Thanks

The work experience will count if it's a NOC A, B or 0 role. The field doesn't matter. Note that it's not guaranteed the open work permit for your wife will be approved. Overall, if your aim is to get PR, then a 1 year program is a bad plan. Take a 2 year program so that you qualify for a 3 year PGWP. Many people who come here for only 1 year of study then struggle to convert this to PR.

Yes, she can be the primary applicant under EE.

Quick question,
1) How many of years experience letter should be produced? Suppose if I have 20 years of working experience , is it OK to show experience letter for last 10 years or I need to get for 20 years. Whether the experience letter should be recent dated one or is it OK to be earlier dated one say signed 5 to 6 years earlier?

Does the two year study program have to be in a specific field or the awarded degree or diploma has to be specific to surely get a PGWP for my wife? Also if I study for two years and get a 3 year work permit later then my wife will get a total of (2+3) 5 years of work permit for my stay in canada?

The two year program needs to be at a DLI that qualifies for a PGWP. Recommend you research DLIs and which programs qualify for PGWPs before selecting one. Stay away from private colleges.

Yes, your wife could qualify for 2+3 years. Keep in mind that approval of your spouse's OWP is never guaranteed. Also, in order for your spouse to extend her OWP once you are on the PGWP, you will need to have a NOC A, B or 0 role.

in 2018 i was rejected a tourist visa.
Later on i found out that i made a mistake in the imm5257 form. i filled a one year apprenticeship in the work history which i should have done it in the education section. this is because it was only one place to include education i used it for university education .
I'm willing to apply for express entry in 2021, and i wonder if this mistake would be a problem if i applied for PR.
If so what i should do in this case ?

Hello guys. Please I have a question. In a situation where the wife is the PA and POF is coming from the husband who will receive it as a lump sum into his account, is consent letter from the husband appropriate or gift deed.

If its consent letter, will the husband (accompanying spouse) be required to produce statement of his account and letter of non indebtedness from his bank? If yes, would it not show that he received the pof as a lump sum into his account (which is a red flag)?

If its gift deed, is there need for statement of account and letter of indebtedness from PA and husband's account?

Please help. Thanks.
