Hi Raj and friends

Before creating an express entry profile, IELTS and ECA needs to be done if i m not wrong . My wife and I have both appeared for ielts and also applied for ECA. I have received my ECA from WES which evaluates my credentials as equivalent to Masters in Canada and my ielts scores are as follows. L-7.5 R-7.5 W-7 S-8. Awaiting my wife's ECA report and ielts results. Now my question here is that as per express entry CRS points section C education and foreign work experience can get 50 points each if IELTS score is CLB9 or higher in each language ability. I get CLB9 in all abilities except for Listening (L). According to CIC listening score of 7 = CLB 8 and score of 8 is CLB 9 . Now i have scored 7.5 on L , so will it be considered CLB 8 or CLB 9

Please advise

When you get the new passport, send CIC a CSE with new passport info and that will be it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is CSE? I need to provide updated information of my New Passport. Is CSE submitted online or is it physical process which needs to be couriered to OINP?

You can either select 'Express Entry' or 'Verification of status, replacements and amendments of documents'

Ques 2: Should i send both new and old passport scan copy through attachment?

Yes

Ques 3: Should I mention in "Comment" space, the reason for change in passport details of dependent?

Yes, please explain your case here.

By what time shall i receive reply on above matters raised? - I am not sure about this.

Requesting your guidance.

The registration is complete only once job bank is created and linked to the EE profile and validated with Job Seeker Validation Code which you will receive in your MyCIC (EE Profile) account messages section.

Once you create your Express Entry account, you will get a message in your MyCIC account with the title 'Express Entry profile received - Next Steps - JobBank - To view this message click here'. When you click the link a PDF would open with following message.

'...............To register with Job Bank:
a) Create an account https://seeker.jobbank.gc.ca/seeker/login.xhtml . To do so, you will need:
1. your Express Entry profile number: EXXXXXXXXX
2. your Job Seeker validation code: XXXX
b) Create a profile, indicating where you want to live, the kind of job you are looking for, and what skills
you would bring to an employer.

Once you’ve registered with Job Bank, we will receive a notification from the Job Bank system and your Express
Entry profile will become active................'

help required

Good afternoon,
I was updating my express entry profile when I came across travel history.
I entered Canada on 4dec 2012 as a student. Then I took the exit at border on 13 nov 2015. and I entered at coutts border on 13 nov,2015(same day) to get my new lmia work permit.
so the question is:
should I be entering Dec 4 2012 to nov 13 2015 as one history ?
and nov 13 2015 to ongoing as second history.?
another question is I came across was in statuary questions
two questions asks whether I was denied any visa or pr or tr anytime.
I had applied for extension of my work permit and that was denied as I didn't had LMIA or PNP at that time. So should I be entering YES to these two questions?

Thank you
