Express Entry in a nutshell

[DelPiero07]

Hello,

I submitted my application for EE in January, and I am currently awaiting for their decision.

I've had to submit my French police certificate, because this is my country of origin

My concern is that it states that the police certificate must be issued AFTER you've lived there, HOWEVER I'm going back there in February for a week.

Can somebody confirm to me that this is not going to be a problem?

Thank you very much!

Not an issue as you've already submitted your eAPR.

No issues.

I guess, for ECA, we are only required to send bachelors degree etc and not the schooling. So, post ITA, do we only need to submit scanned copies of bachelors degree or also the schooling certificates?

Degree/Diploma photocopy + ECA report. 10th/12th certificates are not required if that's what you are asking.

Nice Article, Thanks

This is extremely helpful. Thank you very much.

Is it possible to submit a separate permanent resident application or work permit to CIC even though you have an active EE profile?

If you points for EE are low - do you just sit and wait for your application to be selected, and how long should you keep renewing your EE profile until it gets selected

You can try to improve your score by getting better language scores (A CLB-9 in IELTS for instance (8777 LRWS) ). If your points are still low, then you can probably try securing a provincial nomination. This would award you 600 points.

First things first, please learn how the EE system works. Secondly, you can learn about the various PNPs here -->

Yes, you can submit work permit applications and "offline" PR applications (nominated by base streams) whilst having an active EE profile.

No issues. You can provide an approximate date.

Thanks Raj So much.

I have one more doubt.
I held two designations in my current employment. Should I created separate entries or only one entry.
for e.g.
1 jan 2015 joined as analyst
1 jan 2016 became senior analyst

should i make my entry as --> 1 jan 2015 till date as Senior analyst
OR
two separate entries--> 1 jan 2015 to 31 DEc 2015 as Analyst & 1 jan 2016 till date as Senior Analyst

kindly guide me.

Thanks

You can certainly take time-off and take a break from your profession, this will not have any impact on your application. As long as your application is complete and you have provided all the mandatory documents, then it is not necessary to retake IELTS. It is upto you if you want to retake it. No effort is ever wasted. All the best.

Hi Seniors,

I have Canadian experience (from Jan 2013 to June 25th 2015) and while filling EE (pre-ITA) it asks and I quote :

While legally in Canada during this time ?
A person must have:
1. been working on a valid work permit or exempt from needing one,
2. had legal status the whole time they were in Canada, and
3. not stayed longer than the approved time period.

What should I answer to this question(yes/no) as my visa extension application got refusal on 25th June 2015 and I travelled back to my home country on 1st July 2015 and I didn't work from 26th June to 1st July.

If there was an option to select the date, I would have given the exact date but its in MM,YYYY format.
I am thinking of answering YES and post ITA, I would include refusal letter.

Please advise?

It's pretty normal these days. Many applicants 2nd Jan AOR onwards are still waiting to see Medicals "Passed"
