Express Entry in a nutshell

[rajkamalmohanram]

hi,

I wanted to know...
1. is it possible for somebody to sponsor you for proofs of funds ?

You can get a "gift" from another person - preferably your parents. You can show these funds towards settlemet funds. The person who gifted these funds should give a declaration that the fund is being given as a gift and they don't expect it back. You also need to submit :

1) A gift deed
2) Proof of debit from the sponsor's account
3) Proof of credit into your account

2.do you need to show your last 6 months of your bank statement ? or the bank has just to say you have no debts or loan etc and you have the money in your account?

You can get a letter from the bank with your name, account number, date of opening and amount of funds. Along with that, you can submit 6 months bank statements. The 6 month rule is only to deter applicants from showing borrowed funds. If you can prove the source of funds or the funds were a gift and you have proper documentation, you are good to go.

anybody plz?

Hi experts,

I got ITA and I have a couple of questions


1) In the work history section, do I have to split my job based on location? Coz, I worked for 3 years in India and worked for last 2.5 years in US for the same employer. The reference letter from my employer will not have the locations mentioned.

2) For Proof of Funds, I got the letter from my bank mentioning my current balance and past 6 months average balance. Is that enough or do I have to attach my bank statements as well? My statement would have multiple deposits of various amounts from my roommates and friends as I pay for bills and trips that we took together.

3) This may be a dumb question, when I scan the fbi certificate, the hologram is gone(as expected). This pus the digital copy's authenticity in question, is it fine with CIC? or do we need to send the original through mail as well?

Looking forward to your answers. I have only two weeks left to submit the application.

Yes - you can do that. One of my friends (sraj07 on the forum) was in a similar situation - split work experience in India and the US. He had 2 entries in the work history section and uploaded the same reference letter in both the placeholders along with a letter of explanation outlining his situation.

2) For Proof of Funds, I got the letter from my bank mentioning my current balance and past 6 months average balance. Is that enough or do I have to attach my bank statements as well? My statement would have multiple deposits of various amounts from my roommates and friends as I pay for bills and trips that we took together.

Suggest you to submit your statements along with the bank letter. Minor deposits will not matter - as long as you have the required balance in the bank and the money is yours (and not borrowed), you are good to go.

3) This may be a dumb question, when I scan the fbi certificate, the hologram is gone(as expected). This pus the digital copy's authenticity in question, is it fine with CIC? or do we need to send the original through mail as well?

Not sure about this - probably someone who has uploaded the FBI certificate can be of assistance. However, IMO, I think this is fine - IRCC can't possibly expect you to have scanned the FBI PCC along with the hologram (if that's not possible using a regular scanner).

Looking forward to your answers. I have only two weeks left to submit the application.

Good luck and all the very best!

You need to have at least one year work experience in the past 5 years to be eligible. From what you have posted, you are eligible. Having said that, any work experience while you were a full-time student in Canada will not count. Were you studying (and working) in Canada simultaneously?

You don't have to worry about the employment requirements below the NOC - it doesn't apply (at least for outland applicants).

See, in the OINP application form - under the personal history section, you should have filled all the details from 2006 till 2016 (all periods of study, all periods of employment and all periods of unemployment). If you have done this, you are good to go.

Under the Education history section, it is sufficient if you have filled only the highest degree that you are claiming points for.

Under the work history section, it is sufficient if you have filled in the work experience that you are claiming points for.

If you have done the above, you are good to go!

Hello there!

I have a question.

I created my EE profile last year, of June. With my EE profile that I created that time, I just put that my immediate family is not going with me. So in short, I am the only one, supposedly, who will go to Canada.

Just this year, of January, I applied in SINP and luckily, I got nominated just this month. Its just that, with this SINP application where I got my nomination from, my family is included on this application. They are now accompanying me to Canada.

I am in the process of updating my EE profile in CIC and already accepted my nomination from SK. In line with this updating of my profile, of course, I will be changing now the situation, which is my husband and our son will now accompany me to Canada. On their online form, some details of my husband are now being asked like the language and education. Some of the questions there are: (1) if my husband has language assessment - IELTS and (2) is if my husband has an educational assessment, with this, I answered none, since originally, I was the only one, supposedly, who will go to Canada and I was the only one who have my education assessed and took an IELTS exam. Now, will they be allowing my husband to take IELTS and have his education assessed by WES too?

Or the score from my nomination, maybe, will accommodate the score that my husband needs to be eligible for this express entry that is on my application?

Experts, please help. I need you..

Language tests and ECA for dependents are optional. You don't have to worry about that. Before you get ITA, update the details of your husband and your child in your EE profile.

Oh what a relief! Thank you!

About updating the details of my immediate family, I already updated my husbands, however, I tried to check it more than thrice, I did not see any field where I can put the details.of my 3 year old son. The website did not even ask for my son's name. What they asked was how many are we, accompanying or not. So I put 3.

Here I filled my study of bachelors and masters

Do you know any such case. In fact if the officer looks carefully it's 10 years plus. Getting worried.

Don't know if this becomes reason for rejection of my application from OINP.

In this case, I believe you can send an e-mail to OINP and send this part of the application form.
