Express Entry Process :
Step 1: Go to the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/candidate.asp and use the online tool to determine eligibility (http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp).
Step 2: Click on check your eligibility and answer all the questions. Once all the questions are answered the results page would inform you whether you are eligible or not. You would be issued a personal reference code which needs to be used while filling the express entry profile. Print the page for your future reference.
The above 2 steps are not mandatory but would save time later.
Step 3: Register / log in to submit your online profile. To apply online, you will need an electronic "key" for secure access.

Hi thanks for the input! Very helpful indeed.
I have some questions though, for the spouse in the application, we want to claim points. But the spouse's WES report and IELTS can only be ready by mid February, so:
- Should we wait until then to apply in EE, or can we starting filling in the profile now???
- Do they actually require us to upload, say, the scanned version of WES and IELTS???
- And, once we create the profile are we allowed to save and revise it again later?
Thanks in advance..
