Express Entry in a nutshell

[oboto]

hi guys,
please i would like to know what I can use with regards to job reference letters and experience letters since the company I presently work for is jointly owned by me.

I also worked for two years under my family company as a marketer. Is a reference letter and experience letter( on the company letter headed paper)from my sister who is the manager acceptable ?

Please your input is urgently required.

Hey Buddy,
Thanks for the quick reply. I raised the request through the same web form. Any other alternative you have for me.

I am afraid I don't have any Just, best wishes

Hi mate

I was in the process of uploading some of the final docs. I was hoping to get some clarity on the following from you:

1. All my work exp letters are fine, except one. I was trying to contact this company, but they won't answer as it has now been acquired by a bigger one. I do have the original relieving letter though and it says my designation, employee number and the time period. However, it doesn't say stuff like full time, details on roles/responsibilities. I do have some of the pay slips from here too. As per the ITA received and the current PR application, this is in my employment records/work history. What do you reckon I do with this one? Share whatever best I have or move it from work to personal history? Will this impact the application if I make this edit? either way, will explain whatever i do in the LOE

2. Similarly, I have the ECA for my MBA, but not for my B.Tech, however, I have mentioned both in the study and languages section. Should I remove this totally or share the degree with transcripts anway? either way, will explain whatever i do in the LOE.

3. Once you click on the continue application bit, it brings you to the PR application page that has different categories, work, personal history etc. It still says update form next to them. Do you reckon making any of the above said or new changes at this point would make an adverse impact on the application? either way, will explain whatever i do in the LOE

4. For one of my jobs with a company, I've had multiple roles & locations. I got this company to give me one consolidated letter clearly highlighting my designation, duration, location and details of the various roles involved. I have added pay slips from the all the different locations as well. However, I have added the same attachment to 6-7 different line items for the same company in the document checklist page. Hope this is OK. either way, will explain whatever i do in the LOE

5. Are any birth or other certificates nev

that's all i can think of right now. Do share your thoughts whenever you get a chance.

thanks
Karan

This post, I believe would clear some confusion about 2 or more degrees.



Yes, you CAN choose 2 or more degrees. I'd like to explain this a bit because there is a LOT of confusion surrounding this.

This is what is mentioned on the CIC site -


here's the link - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/eca-conversion.asp

People have completely missed to notice the "PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school)" clause. See, what that sentence means is - If you have 2 credentials AND one of them is at least 3 years long, then you could choose 2 or more degrees if the second credential is ANYTHING THAT IS AVAILABLE BELOW THIS SECTION (which includes all the below -

>> Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
>> Two-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute
>> One-year degree, diploma or certificate from a program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute

OR

The any one from the list that is provided under the "2 or more degrees section" -

Post-Bachelor's Certificate
Post-undergraduate certificate

Post-undergraduate diploma
Graduate Certificate

two-year Bachelor’s after degree with a focus in [area of concentration]
one-year Postgraduate Certificate in [name of discipline]
one-year of graduate study with a focus in [area of concentration]

In conclusion, as long as you have a 3 year degree AND your second degree/diploma has been evaluated to any of the following, you CAN choose 2 or more degrees.


College Diploma (three years)

Three-year diploma in [name of discipline]
Three-year advanced diploma

I was scrutinizing this a few minutes back and that PLUS any of the results in the sections below (not including secondary/high school) caught my attention and it made all the difference.

Please share this post to people who have doubts about choosing 2 or more degrees when they have 2 credentials that has both been evaluated to Bachelor's degree.

Hi All,

I have lived in UK for 2 years from 2010 to 2012, Should I get a Police Clearance Certificate from UK though I wasn't a citizen there?
If the same is required, What is the procedure to get the same from UK?

If you don't already know how to apply for a UK PCC, the below post is really helpful

Cheers!

<<< This post is straight from my blog. I thought it would be better to have a copy on the forum too>>>

You will have created your profile by now. Now you have to sit down patiently and wait for your ITA. The odds of getting an ITA are directly proportional to your CRS. Higher your CRS, higher the chances of getting invited. This is the end of the pre-application phase.

Please find the step-by-step details here
I hope, as a reader, you will be satisfied with the information on this post. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. Feel free to share your suggestions about this post. Also, if you want me to add something to this post/write a post on other related topics, please ask. Thanks!

Not sure if I am the only one facing this issue, but I cannot access the personalized links that you have added to your post.

Hey guys, I was filling out my application and got some doubts.
1 - By filling out her work history (outside Canada), the systems asks for work letter to be upload. So should I put that she hasn't any work experience?
2 - The same case with her education. I put that she hasn't ECA (so no points will be awarded) but even so the system asks to upload her education docs. What should I do in this case?

Since the beginning, I just claimed spouse points for IELTS, nothing else. So there's no point in uploading these docs, but even so, the systems ask to do it.

Hi everyone,

I've just filled out my EE profile. I was wondering how I can be sure that the application is submitted and if I am now in the pool?

Cheers!

Hi,

You should say that she has no work experience and education under work and education history. You should then enter it all in the Personal history section where no evidence is required. This is perfectly acceptable, just mention the changes in your LOE.

If you do this the system wont ask for anything.

Share whatever best I have or move it from work to personal history? Will this impact the application if I make this edit? either way, will explain whatever i do in the LOE

If you have not claimed points for this experience you can move it to the personal history section where no evidence is required.
If you are claiming points, ask a former superior to write a reference letter for you and submit it together with the documents you have. Then explain in your LOE.

2. Similarly, I have the ECA for my MBA, but not for my B.Tech, however, I have mentioned both in the study and languages section. Should I remove this totally or share the degree with transcripts anway? either way, will explain whatever i do in the LOE.

Remove it and only enter it in the personal history section. Explain this in the LOE.

3. Once you click on the continue application bit, it brings you to the PR application page that has different categories, work, personal history etc. It still says update form next to them. Do you reckon making any of the above said or new changes at this point would make an adverse impact on the application? either way, will explain whatever i do in the LOE

As long as you havent claimed claimed points for the work experience and you remain above 67 points in the six factor eligibility there will be no effect. With regards to education, you are awarded points for your highest qualification, so the masters is all you need.

4. For one of my jobs with a company, I've had multiple roles & locations. I got this company to give me one consolidated letter clearly highlighting my designation, duration, location and details of the various roles involved. I have added pay slips from the all the different locations as well. However, I have added the same attachment to 6-7 different line items for the same company in the document checklist page. Hope this is OK. either way, will explain whatever i do in the LOE

This is perfectly fine.

5. Are any birth or other certificates nev

Not for adults, unless you are using it as proof of a relationship with someone in Canada.

that's all i can think of right now. Do share your thoughts whenever you get a chance.

thanks
Karan
