Express Entry in a nutshell

[Escobar Gaviria]

Not yet. I am at 450 and looking at current trend of draws, I am hopeful in next couple of draws.

Just making sure no stone is left unturned.

If you have not submitted your eAPR, then there is nothing to be worried about. You can change this information in your EE profile.

Dear All
I got an ITA too in this invitation round.
Grateful if someone can resolve my confusion.

Background Info:
My work experience starts from 12 September 2013 to 8th August 2016. It is to be exact 2 years 10 months and 26 days. While filling the EOI application there is no option to select the dates, hence the tool calculated my score to be 469. Considering me in the category of having work experience of 3 years or more.

Question:
Whether i will be considered in this category of work experience by the CIC after submitting documents or not?

 

[Escobar Gaviria]

Yes, that's exactly what I am doing.

Reviewing my EE profile just to make sure there is nothing misleading.

So here is the twist now, I just found the rejection letter, turns out, no UCI number ismentioned on that one, just the date and letter itself reads:
'This is with reference to your application for Study Permit. Please note that all of the listed documents are required when submitting a student application. Your application is being returned to you as incomplete and no file has been created at this office.

If no file was created at Canadian High Commision, do you think its fair enough if I slect 'no', and not raise a red flag on my application.

No! At the time of ITA you must have at least 3 years of experience to be able to claim those points, which is not your case. I think the recommended course of action is for you to decline this ITA... But get a second opinion as well.

Your application was returned and not rejected! So I don't see a problem with NO... You may like to mention this in a short paragraph in a LoE once you decide to apply.

Hi Friends,
Can we collect all documents like (Employment Letter, Bank Statement) at any time after getting ITA and submit OR we have to collect the documents only before submitting the application?

For example if I got ITA on Jan 04th 2017 can I take documents from employee and bank statements now and submit with my application in March 2017 (Because I have to wait for PCC & Medical Test to get),
Or I have to take the employee and bank statements only before submitting the application.

Thanks.
But since I applied and didn't get visa so I qualify for a 'Yes' here. I'll provide the rest of the story in LOE.

I think anytime after the date of you ITA is fine for current documents. So go ahead and get all of your documents in order and good luck!

Hi,

I am working in Canada for 2 years under ICT and my current employer doesn't provide Job offer letter. In this case, am I eligible to get additional 50 points based on the changes happened on 16, Nov 2016. I am getting confused whether I set Job offer flag is ok which trigger 50 points or not. can you please suggest on this query.

Hi Guys,

I have been working in Canada and I am finishing my second year in March. However, I have been reading few posts and this happened with my friend too. If you start your work lets say in January then CIC will consider first year in December the same year and give you credit for that. I have 434 points and I will get 25 points hopefully next month when I finish my 2 years which will get me to exactly 459 points. Do you think that the draw will be close to 459 as I missed it this time because of not completing 2 years yet. Also, if I get lucky and get an ITA next month, should I accept it? I will be finishing my second year in March technically.

Thanks guys.

You can accept it but you shouldn't submit your application until you've actually completed 2 years of work experience.

Thanks, but if express entry is giving points not based on date, should I wait for the actual completion date?. It shouldn't affect as express entry doesn't take exact date. Has anyone had an experience with this.?

They will know the exact date by looking at your reference letter and other employment information.

You are free to think that way (the bolded part) but you are only looking for trouble.

Oh Ok, I understand. Hopefully the draws keep coming in everyone's favour.
Thanks
