Express Entry in a nutshell

[Aragorn165]

Kindly confirm how long IELTS results are valid? I understand it's valid for two years for both Main applicant and spouse.

Two years.

1) You need to get a One and the Same Person affidavit, stating that all variations of your name refer to the same person.

2) I've answered this question for you before.
If both your father's names appear on your documents, then you will need to explain the name change, and provide documentary evidence.
If all your documents contain your father's old name, and his new name is not mentioned on your documents, you do not need to mention the name change.

Thanks, Istari.
Do I need to get the "One and the Same Person affidavit" from my Canadian lawyer or my home country lawyer?

2) Since the OPs father has already changed his name, the OP should mention the new name in the e-APR.

Since all your documents contain your father's old name, create a PDF with your father's PP showing his old and new name, a name change document/proof that this has been added in the gazette. Along with this, write a LOE and describe your situation. Upload this PDF to the "LOE" section.

This is just to avoid any kind of confusion.

Thanks Raj for your suggestions.

Either is fine.

Spouse Does Not Have a Passport. What Next?

Ok, here is a tricky situation. I was targeting end of October to submit my EE profile. I've even booked a IELTS exam this month. But there is a problem. While submitting passport applications for my spouse and son, we found out that birth certificate is mandatory for spouse. Now it will take at least 3-4 months for us to get it.

So what should I do now? Should I go ahead and appear for IELTS, get my (and spouse's?) education assessment done and submit the EOI? Or should I wait until she gets her passport?

Also if I submit EOI then can I still include her in the application without her passport details?

Experts, please help!

I want to ask that my current passport will expire very soon. Can I create a CIC profile with that and later on when I get my new passport update the passport number?
Thanks.

Good luck and all the very best. This differs from VO to VO so I cannot comment on that. As such, there is no hard and fast time frame. However, I hope you see the light at the end of the tunnel soon!

Yes.

The score will go down at some point. Probably the end of the year, or the beginning of next year.

I don't think there are plans for another program.

Thank you , Hopefully CRS score will decrease.

I have another question, if i am going to submit my application for EE and in parallel way, i have applied for a study permit knowing that in study permit application i will need to prove that i am going to leave canada after finishing my study. will that appear on their system and will reject my study permit ?

I don't think a passaport is mandatory for your spouse to create your EE profile, I think you can just put in a local ID card as the initial document and update that later on when her passport comes out. That's probably what I'd do in you case.. As soon as you have IELTS and ECA then create the EE profile, if you have to put something down for your spouse (ID wise) just put a local ID or a passport with number TBD and update that once you have it!

In my IMM5406E form Applicant name I can fill myself. For my wife's IMM5406E form, would she be considered Applicant and I would come in as spouse's field?

Hello there

I'm going to submit (not yet) my EE profile today. I'm an international student in Canada for the past 5 years. But i'm not sure whether any points given for Canadian education or not. So far, I only have 441 points including one yr work experience. Please suggest any other ways to improve my points. I got 7.5 in IELTS (not moving any further :'( ) Thank you for any suggestions.
