I started working in Canada from 1st August 2013.

I created my express Entry profile on 1st February 2015.

My Scores were 447, but suddenly on the 1st July 2015 scores increased to 458. (Even though I was one-month short for 2year Canadian experience)

On 17th July I got the ITA, I may submit my Application by 15th August 2015.

Just wondering why the system is providing extra points with one-month shortage.

Will it be a misrepresentation if I Apply?, because at ITA I still have 13 days shortage for 2years Canadian experience. But at time of e-application to PR, I would have had more than 2years Canadian experience.

I would appreciate if some seniors or knowledgeable person explain or guide the present condition regarding what to do.

Thanks for your time

it says in the ita "if your situation (or that of your spouse or partner) changes, you should try to re-calculate your points score before you decide to apply for permanent ..." so i guess if you submit your application by aug15 then it's valid since by the time you apply you're already well past your 2nd year. im not an expert, just happen to be reading my ita

Yes. Find details below.

Hi guys,
about this topic, submitting my online application to CIC right now after collecting my docs (60 days are almost passed by) I discovered changes in my two kids requirements. Until a couple of days ago they were asking for photo, birth certificate, medical exam and passport for each. Now they are only asking their passports... I have all of those docs but i don't know if they are still required. Maybe they changed the system by the way???

Birth certificate, medicals, digital photographs and passports are mandatory requirements for dependent children. Upload all the documents you have - might be a technical glitch again.

Check here for documents list ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp

So the best to do is waiting for them to solve the issue. I have just 10 days left... Just to let you know, once uploaded all required documents listed, the "next" button appear on that page so it means that I can go forward.. but I don't because of that issue. What do you suggest about it?

I believe CIC did some maintenance work earlier today - there was a 2 hour downtime. Recommend that you wait for a couple of days to see if the system behaves itself and try sending CIC a technical inquiry on this one.

If there is no response (and I suspect there won't be an immediate response), upload everything as 1 document under the available placeholder and use an LOE to explain the technical glitch.

You will have to 'transmit' the information and pay the fees to successfully complete submission.

All the best!

Hi,

I have few queries for filling my express entry application

1. Do I need to enter my old passport details or just the valid passport is fine?

2. I had traveled to Montreal for my organization for a period of 1 month in the end of 2014 do I need to mention that I have applied to Citizenship and Immigration Canada or is it only for express entry? during the travel I used the old passport.

Thanks in advance.

Just the current passport should be fine

2. I had traveled to Montreal for my organization for a period of 1 month in the end of 2014 do I need to mention that I have applied to Citizenship and Immigration Canada or is it only for express entry? during the travel I used the old passport.
You would need to mention this. You can upload the stamps from the previous passport along with current passport just to be on the safe side
Thanks in advance.

I started working in Canada from 1st August 2013.

For 31st July 2014, its 1year Canadian work experience.

For 31st July 2015, Its 2year Canadian Work experience.

I saw in this forum that Express entry system is recognizing 1year 11months 1day as 2year Canadian Work Experience and providing score for that. Same has happened to me as well.

on July 1st 2015 I got 11points more inspite of the correct information in my profile.

on July 17th 2015 I got ITA, I do not know whether its system error or its CIC policy to provide points earlier.

Should I apply or not for eAPR? Please help

If you take those extra points out does your score fall below the minimum?
