I am sitting in the pool at 411 and trying to gather employer reference letters from 8 years ago. I was a music teacher and I can't find the start and end dates of each school year. The school unfortunately closed but I found my previous principal and he is happy to write me a letter. I also...

I worked standard school hours (I think 7-4) for 2 school years, with an 8-week summer in between.

Thank you for your reply! So what I should do is basically just put the date that I started and the date that I finished in the express entry profile? And then mention the summer break in the letter?

I haven't worked since having kids, but prior to that I was a school music teacher. I worked at a school for several years. Should I put in each year separately, taking the summer break out? Any other teachers get pr? Would love advice on how to list this!!! We are at 411 points and I want to...

We are sitting in the pool at 411 and taking a French test in July to increase points. Hoping to get ITA this year. But I've been worried, reading about medical inadmissibility for Autistic kids. My son is 6.5 and on the Autism spectrum. He hardly needs any support at all. We homeschool and...

Since there was no draw today and I was feeling kind of depressed, I went in to review my EE profile just to make sure it's all accurate and up to date. My work experience is as an elementary and junior high school music teacher. I got a degree in music education and worked briefly in...

Okay, thanks!

I'm relatively new as well and don't have any specific expertise, but I will say that the scores have been dropping RAPIDLY so there's a good chance you could get an ITA within the next few months on a score of 425 without doing anything. Do you have a profile up in the express entry pool? I...

We have the POF money in stock options from my husband's company. They are vested options and we could sell them any day, but they're doing really well and we would rather keep them in the stock. We are in the pool with 411 points, hoping it keeps going down. Should we sell soon and just show...

Awesome. I am still in touch with several people. Would that make sense to include letters from several former colleagues and a principal or two?

Hi guys, I'm a long-time lurker and have really appreciated everyone's experience and expertise on here! I only have a few years of work experience (I've been a stay-at-home mom for 8 years) but it was as a teacher at a school that apparently just closed its doors last September. We are in...

Thank you for your response! So it would be better to just go ahead and liquidate that stuff and get it into our accounts, and then just show it that way? We could pay it off right when we got there if we needed to!

Do you know whether it can be in a second mortgage or home equity line?

My biggest concern is showing proof of funds. Do you know how that works if my husband will work from home for a US company while he is there? We also own a home in the US that has enough equity, but we are renting it because we don't want to sell it. Could we just show equity or would we...

Hi everyone, I've lurked for a while but never posted. My husband and I are hoping to get in to Victoria, BC from USA via the Express Entry pool but only have 417 points. We had a consult with a lawyer and he suggested that my husband, who has a good job but no Bachelor's, go to finish his...
