Dear People,
I have few questions relating to Express Entry in which i need your kind guidance. Apologies for long questions and thank you in advance.
1- I received the ITA (Invitation To Apply) for Express Entry. While filling out the ITA form, I was confused by one question, which states "Has (the person) applied to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada before?"
My father applied for Immigration in 2001 including me and my mother, brothers and sister. I was 14 years old back then. We stayed in Toronto, Canada for about 2 months and my father decided to come back and leave Canadian immigration for personal family matters. My father applied for Immigration back then and not me, so should the above question be answered YES OR NO? I have a social security number.
2- If I have 2 jobs (with same NOC), first one with 1 year experience and second job with 2 years’ experience with 2 months of unemployment gap between two jobs, my question is should I choose work experience as 3 years or more?
3- If myself (main applicant) and my spouse have mentioned aunt’s who are Canadian citizens, then we will need to provide proof of relatives as per Canadian guidelines? E.g., wither their PR card both sides and utility bills? if yes, then on which official document me and my spouse have to provide evidence that we are related to our aunts?
4- I am a Pakistani and I have worked in Hong Kong. When I checked ‘Police certificate’ guidelines for myself, Express Entry requirements says “Yes, but only after you submit your application. When you apply for permanent residence, you will be asked to upload a police certificate. Instead, you must upload a document that states: “I am applying from a country that requires an official request letter from IRCC to get a police certificate.”
Meaning after I submit my e-APR, then I should get the police certificates? Or should I try to get police certificates now, as I have received my ITA?
Please advise?
Thank you and Best Regards
