I have got an ITA for express entry from CIC. I have questions about submitting my application and documents to upload.


I have Masters Degree from USA and Bachelors Degree from India. I am claiming points only for my Masters degree and have done the ECA for my Masters. Below are dates for my credentials.

Bachelors: April 2010 (ECA not available and not claiming points)
Masters: May 2012 (ECA available and claiming points)
Job: Jan 2012 to August 2015 (Claiming points for foreign experience)

My experience letter says my job started in Jan 2012, but i did my grad walk for my masters in May 2012 most my masters coursework was completed before Jan 2012, only Thesis defense was left which was not required for my job. In the work history section, it asks me my job details and also asks when did I became eligible to do this job. I dont understand what date should i mention.

If i mention April 2010 my bachelors graduation date, will they ask me ECA which i dont have and too difficult to get transcripts from India while I am in USA with the time I have only 58 days to submit?
If i mention May 2012 Masters Grad date, will they question my credibility to do the job as the job start date in Jan 2012.
If i mention Jan 2012 and say in a separate letter that I completed relevant coursework required for the job and then took grad-walk formality in May 2012 will it be okay?


Also do I even need to upload any of my bachelors documents if I am not claiming points for my bachelors education

Appreciate your help

Hey Rohit,

I'm in the same situation as yours and wanted to know what was the final outcome of your ITA. I started working full time, even before I completed my Masters degree and now I'm in the process of filling my application. I would be grateful to you, if you can please look into this.

Thanks,
Rohit
