Express Entry in a nutshell

[aditya127]

Guys,

I submitted CSE on Aug 30 to get contact details/address changed. I haven't received response back as yet. But got the Rprf request in the interim.

Should I raise a CSE again or any email Id I should contact regarding the same.

Regards
Aditya

Seniors pls help!!!
Can I use Indian passport as proof of date of birth for my spouse? His dob certificate from the concerned authority is lost. If not, what else is accepted as proof of date of birth by cic?

Answered in the other thread. They can take as long as 30 days to process CSEs. Don't worry for now.

Hi,

Can anyone suggest if there are still any verifications pending (like Pof, employment etc) except security/criminality after RPRF request

Regards,
Aditya

It will be beneficial if you can take a confirmation letter from authorities that dob cert is misplaced by them,then u may attach affidavit stating ur dob .

Did you complete Job bank registration? What does the status of each section under your Express Entry say? Does it show 'Transmitted'?

Or have you lately applied for visitor visa/study permit or work permit?

Did you try clicking Continue and see? Are you sure, you did not get ITA?

Doesn't look like ITA was sent because in I see "Permanent Residency" instead of "online application" in my cic account. Also, there was no ITA as far as I know this week. May be you opened other type of application like e-visa.

Hi,
I submit my profile yesterday so i don't think this is an ITA.
thanks

I'm sure you had accidently clicked on visitor visa button while trying to create express entry profile. You may check what did you do on 15th Sep in your account, this is certainly not ITA for PR because there is no number in Application number.

Hi,
I did complete job registration, this is the screen shot of the status under EE.

Hi

I know you guys are helping people a lot and I am desperate need for some guidance. Please suggest me what to do. I am the principle applicant for Express entry immigration process and I have CRS score 469 in my EE profile. My wife recently went to Canada for higher studies. While we are preparing for Express entry we took her fingerprint for FBI PCC (since both of us stayed in USA more than 2 years). Unfortunately, her fingerprint was weak so FBI rejected her PCC request twice within last 8 months. However, when she applied for study permit she submitted name based STATE CLEARANCE and they accept it. Now, I am still not confident they will accept name based state clearance for immigration so I am going to try for FBI PCC again. This is why I am thinking applying from Canada might be good since we are already in Canada through some clearance but I am not sure.

Now given the situation which options from below I should choose and why:


Option 1: Wait until I get the ITA and apply for Canada immigration from Bangladesh while my wife will remain in Canada. Will it be a problem since she is already in Canada and I am in Bangladesh while applying? The drawback is it might take long (Singapore office vs Ottawa office) and if the PR get rejected I might not the get the chance to visit her in Canada. Moreover, do you think it might be safe to apply form Canada since my wife has some issues with her FBI clearance?


Option 2: Apply for TRV immediately then move to Canada. From Canada apply for immigration after getting ITA. Please note if I apply from Canada I have to apply for open work permit to work until I get PR. Now the drawback is what if I dont get OWP and unable to work for 6 months/until I get PR/not. How difficult will be getting an OWP?


Option 3: Apply for TRV immediately then move to Canada. From Canada apply for immigration after getting ITA. Then I will come back to Bangladesh. However, my wife will be still in Canada. Will it be a problem since I applied from Canada but will live in Bangladesh while the PR process will go on?


Thanks in advance!
