Sorry I won't be able to provide further input. But the bottom line is as long as you can convince IRCC that the fund is 1. liquid enough, 2. sufficient for a single applicant to settle, 3. the 6-month average is above the threshold, 4. the financial institution issues the document under its...

I would be very cautious about interpreting your investment account as your settlement fund since that money is not liquid enough for you to basically withdraw for the settlement purpose. If you have regular saving/checking account, you may consider just use that if the 6-month average is above...

If you have not yet received a confirmation stating your profile is eligible for Express Entry with a specification of the stream(s) you are qualified for, your profile is not in the Express Entry pool. Hence, you won't be able to receive ITA based on today's draw CRS cut off.

One very minor difference about receiving correspondence from IRCC regarding the passport request. In my situation, the RFV "letter" in PDF was downloaded from my GCKey portal, not a direct email from IRCC. I guess it really depends on how each office/VO operates on issuing the letter to the...

Mine was dispatched on the 3rd day (ish) after everything was done per my account. Give them sometime as I assume they dispatch passports in batch. You've come a long way so just sit back and relax for the time being (exception will be you have an immediate international travel upcoming).

Per IRCC (Express Entry rounds of invitations - Canada.ca), three types of rounds of invitations will be held throughout the year. Depending on which stream is deemed appropriate based on the annual quota IRCC has. I think 501 might still be a reasonable CRS score to sit in the general pool, but...

They are the same. I uploaded the electronic version.

A final update: 4/13/2023: FedEx return envelope tracking updated with the estimate next day delivery back to the States. It has been a fun ride with up and downs the whole process. I say I am very lucky to some extent that my case has been processed extremely fast and smooth. I decided to...

A final update: 4/11/2023: Application Status Updated to "Approved" with counterfoil information listed. 4/12/2023: Case status in tracker updated to "Closed" with acknowledgement of receiving my passport. 4/13/2023: FedEx return envelope tracking updated with next day delivery back to the...

If you have the budget, it is always worth trying to boost your score - maximize everything in your ability.

Sounds like my passport might be sitting in CPC-O for some time to be mailed back?

You will need to make sure the person you claim points as your relative needs to be residing in Canada when you apply for your PR. You will also need to provide proof of the relationship, their status, and evidence of in Canada (utility bills with a Candian address).

A quick update: 4/3/2023: Passport Delivered to CPC-O 4/11/2023: GC Application Page Updated to "Approval" with counterfoil information listed. 4/12/2023: IRCC Application Tracker status has been changed to "Closed" with the acknowledgement of receiving my passport. Fedex Return Label has not...

Per the eligibility website from IRCC (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/canadian-experience-class.html) have at least 1 year of skilled work experience in Canada, in the last 3 years before you apply—you can meet this...

Which job did you indicate as your primary skilled job? If it is less than 1 year, your profile might not be eligible and will be 0 points regardless.

I do not think you can. To successfully create your EE profile and enter the pool, you must need to supply your ECA information (ECA documentation number, date of issuance, level of education).

Per your initial statement, ("My combined experience is about a year now."), it sounds like you feel like your total engineering experience is at least one year. However, when you put the information into the system, I think EE profile won't allow you to put two employers under the same NOC to...

I never heard about combining two different jobs to claim one year continuous** work experience. Is this the problem that you won't pass the eligibility check by the system? ** "Continuous" hear means you have been consistently working full time under the same NOC without any time gap in...

3/27/2023: RFV Received 3/30/2023: Passport sent from the US through FedEx 4/3/2023: Passport delivered at Ottawa Now counting the days until IRCC updates me the process......Fingers crossed.

If I remember it correctly, your language score must be valid by the date you received ITA. If your IELTS score has expired prior to your ITA, you need to decline your ITA since they won't process your application when you submit everything.
