    No surname in passport, how to enter name in EE application?

    I am in the same situation. If you only have given names and blank in the family name/last name in you passport - then you need to fill out "FNU". Leaving it blank delays things unnecessarily.

    Foreign Work Experience Calculation

    Thanks DelPiero - yes it is outside Canada. Only reason I want to increase points is, looking at the cut off points from last 2 years - numbers go up quite dramatically around March end. This is the time when we are expecting to get back ECAs from WES since they are heavily backlogged...

    Friends, We are about to submit our CEC profile shortly after receiving the ECA. Do both of us need FBI PCC? Also, I am the secondary applicant and lived in another country for 6 months and 15 days after my 18th birthday. Would I still need to get a PCC from that country as well?
