I provided 6 months detailed statement from all the accounts that I had. Never got a query about average or anything else.

Get letters/ statements for both accounts as JK_CAD suggested and explain the distribution with an LOE.

Hi, I have a question- when I submit my eAPR, I will be using my current passport, which has a validity of a little over a year and a month right now. However, shortly after I have sent the application in, I intend to apply for a passport renewal (I can't get that done before, because in India, you cannot apply for a passport renewal unless your passport is 12 months away from expiry at most).
My question is, once I have the new application, I obviously need to tell CIC about it, right? Do I just submit a CSE for that?

I really appreciate your help, just a few more questions:

1- So, my work experience only counts from the day I received my degree even though is a technical job NOC "B" ?
2- Do you think an International Business Master Degree would be counted by WES? (I tried on their website and It seems that they recognize my university and also they recognize that it is a valid university to provide a Master Degree, but IDK if WES accept that kind of Master Degree)
3- Do you know maybe a tool or a post where I can find info about people that have already certified the same master degree or similar? or any post about ECA for Master Degree?

Thanks.

For the first question, unless you are applying under CEC, no, your work experience prior to graduating from university can also count, as long as it was paid work experience (i.e. not an internship), and as long as it was not necessary towards the completion of your degree.

When you get the new passport, send CIC a CSE with new passport info and that will be it.

Thank you! That is exactly what I will do, then

Please help me in this.

Excellent explanation. Many many thanks for this.

I have some questions regarding pay stubs and different jobs.

I finished one year of my job on 28th January 2016 but I got my one week pay in starting by cash advance and next week's pay was written as 1*1860 hours = 1860. I want to know will it be problem for me? I think it is my payroll company's mistake not mine. I asked my HR he said we can not do anything in this. I got one pay check for 3 weeks also. In starting 3 months training period they pay me less after 3 months I am getting more than earlier so how will they look on application with this kind of irregularities? Please explain me as I am afraid of even creating express entry profile due to some mistakes in my pay stubs.

Another question is I have worked in three jobs after I got my work permit. 1 job was similar to what I am doing now but it was just for one month contract. Do I have to mention it in profile and give all the paperwork for that job ?

Thanks

Many banks do not mention this detail on the bank letter. Your 6 month average balance need NOT necessarily be > = LICO. It is sufficient if your current balance is >= LICO.

You can key in your university and check if they assess this degree. Check the below link -

3- Do you know maybe a tool or a post where I can find info about people that have already certified the same master degree or similar? or any post about ECA for Master Degree?

There is no toll for that per say but I believe you might find someone if you search the forum.

Thanks.

Good luck and all the very best!

Usually, latest 3 months payslips is what people submit. If the mistake on your payslip is not yours and there is nothing you can do about ti, so be it. Explain your situation in a LOE.

Another question is I have worked in three jobs after I got my work permit. 1 job was similar to what I am doing now but it was just for one month contract. Do I have to mention it in profile and give all the paperwork for that job ?

You need to produce work documents only for the jobs that you are claiming points for. You can retain all the other jobs (for which you are not claiming points) only in the personal history section alone. This way, you will not have to submit any documents for those jobs.

Thanks

Education is expensive in Canada for foreign students. If you continue your education after becoming a PR, you will pay way less.

I suggest you to retake IELTS and concentrate on getting a CLB-9 (8777 LRWS). This will boost your CRS significantly. If you get a CRS > = 400, you will be eligible for Ontario PNP as well.

This is only my opinion. Of course, the decision is yours.

Good luck and all the very best!
