Hi, I need to ascertain what needs to be filled under EOI --> Occupation --> Primary Occupation. Does the primary NOC code (meaning primary occupation) need to be in last 5 years or 10 years?

CIC is giving conflicting information at 2 different places:

1. This says 5 years - cic. gc. ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=1007&t=29
2. This says 10 years (under Minimum Requirements) - cic. gc. ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who. asp

Hi guys,

I have a few questions and I am hoping someone can make it clear.

1. I have studied in the UK and worked for few years but now I moved back home to Africa, do I still need to get police clearance for both UK and my home country where am living?

2. When do I need to submit the police clearance, medical checks and proof of funds etc?? I mean at what stage of the application.

Please note I only started to apply for my EE now and I am hoping to fill and send the form by the end of the month so I need to know if I need these now or after ??


Please clarify.

Thanks

Yes you will need Police clearance from all the countries where you have lived more than 6 months, you should have all the documents ready once you receive ITA, you can use the link below to check your score and see when can you expect an ITA.

Hi I have a question regarding the job bank account.
I submitted my PR application online on Aug 30. Today i just logged into my job bank account and found its status as "inactive".
Does it get changed to inactive as soon as application is submitted?

Anyone else has the same thing?

Thanks!

Dear seniors ,

I got Ita with crs 465
My wife is principal applicant
Dentist working for private clinic salary 8000rs
I am in merchant navy
I was gathering proof of funds information
As my wife salary is very less
But my account balance is healthy average of lsst six months arount 26000 canadian dollars
Can i show this as proof of funds being my wife be the principal applicant.

More over there is a big confusion in my education qualification. I have not done competency exams to rise furthur up in marine field from ministry of shipping. It is not a graduation it is a type of marine pilot licence after secondry school. I am not claiming any points for my education qualification in express entry profile.
So i am showing my education as secondary school in express entry. But i will show everything in personal history that whatever i have done. So there will be any problem will i face regarding this.

All comments are welcome

Thanksss

Depends on when she completes her diploma. If she finishes it before you get an ITA, then I'm sure you can update it (provided you have a ECA report for it). If it is after ITA, don't bother.

!!!!!!IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION!!!!!!

I had raised a CSE last month to Delhi Visa Office (India) asking them if EPF can be used as proof of funds. To my surprise, this morning, received a mail from them telling that , YES, EPF can be used as Proof of Funds.

I have added the screenshot in my google drive. You can view it by clicking on the link below.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BygmBX-ugQw-bnU5aW1mc2psUVU/view?usp=docslist_api

Somebody might find this information useful. So, I'm posting it here.

Please note that I got this information from the Canadian High Commission in India. This response might hold good only for Indian Applicants.

Hi Brian,

I have already completed my EE application online & awaiting any further development. My points are only 387 as of now.
What will be my chances?

Also, my main question is: I want to download my EE profile & send it over to an agent. How can I download the whole profile that I submitted?

Thanks in Advance.

ITA = Invitation to Apply.

Yea if you are not going to claim points for her new diploma, don't even bother about it.
