Dears,

I appreciate all of your helps and suggestions. i have a situation is as the following:

I hold an open work permit based on my wife’s Study permit. I’m working in Canada (NOC Level A), I hold a diploma 2 years, I have 1 year Canadian experience, and more than 5 years experience before coming to Canada. my wife is studying master, and will finish her studies by April.

I was going to apply for Express Entry ( my current points are 420-430) , but I’m currently holding this solution for the following reasons:
  1. we can’t do a credential assessment for my wife’s Bachelor degree, because no one can bring a closed/signed/stamped envelope from the university because the universities in my country requires in-person requests. We have with us all of her documents, but WES refused to do the evaluation.
  2. I’m waiting for a Job offer with LIMA (or and exception) from my current employer but this might take sometime.
  3. I’m working on improving my English IELTS.

Our visas expires around August, and she will have her Canadian Masters around April.

My questions are:
  1. If we submitted an Express Entry application, and my wife graduated after that, I got a job offer or got a better English scores. Can we edit the application to include these new updates to make the CRS score better?
  2. For FSW stream I have currently 76 Points (20 for language, 19 for diploma, 15 points for work experience, 12 for the age, and 10 for adaptability). Can I apply now for this stream regardless of my 420 points scored? Do I get an ITA?
  3. Do i select if i want FSW or CEC?
  4. Can i apply for CEC while holding a 2-years diploma ?
  5. If we hold our EE application till April (to get Master's points), and we got an ITA before August, can we extend our permits to stay in Canada till we get a decision?


All the best,
