Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

We are creating an ee profile. As per crs calculator we have 446.
I have some doubts on work history.
1. Wife is the primary applicant and has 1 yr experience as permanent employee. Other experiences are contract/temporary. Shall we provide only that 1yr in work history?
2. Secondary applicant dont have canadian experience. Shall we mention experience here as 'No'?

Hi,

1) You can claim points for all her experience as long as you have reference letters for it, both part-time and full time.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=730&top=29 (CEC)

"The minimum requirements for federal skilled workers are:

Skilled work experience
You must have at least one year, in the last ten years before you submit your electronic application for permanent residence, of continuous full-time work experience (or the equivalent in continuous part-time work) in a skilled occupation listed in Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B of the 2016 version of Canada’s National Occupational Classification (NOC)."
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=689&top=29 (FSW)

So she only requires 1 year of continuous, full-time experience. The rest can be made up of part-time work.

2) Correct. Just mention the experience in the personal history section. No evidence is required.

All the best

I have crs 447, considering recent cutoff of 449 i am in doubt now. Will i get ita in coming draws? Also what will be the crs cutoff in coming year? I have a saving account in which my salary is getting credited from last 5 years. I have put funds around $16500 in that account in past two months slowly by cheque to show as liquid fund proof. Major part of money is given to me by my brother and mother. Is it 100% mandatory that funds need to be 6months old or gift deed has to be given along.? I am single applicant

Hi,

I hope you got your ITA.

2- It is not mandatory to keep funds in your bank account for months. If you funds are in the account for less than 6 months you just need to provide evidence of where you got it. In you case, the gift deeds will be perfect. You will also need to submit a bank statement showing these deposits into your account.

All the best.

L 7.5, R 7, W 6 and S 7, does it that score give, good marks for EE?

Hi,

Most likely wont be. Aim for L8, S7, R7, W7 to maximise your score.
However, as advised, it also depends on all the othe factors.

regards

My current CRS point is 380. But now i have got work permit in Canada and started working in Toronto from last 2 months. Also my wife has joined work in one of the financial organization in Canada as a Full Time Employee for last 1 month. Now can we get additional CRS points for our respective jobs?

Hey,

Congratz, could you guide me through please how to grab the jobs in Canada from India ?
I am in the process of PR, your guidance would be very helpful.
Please share job portals, or how did you contact them or what you think significantly helped you to grab the job?

Hey guys,

I got ITA today, so have some questions for the senior members of this forum.

1. Do I need to submit the medical with my PR application or they will ask for it later?

2. The copies of my Education Certificates has to be Notarized or not?

3. And they also ask if I'll pay some Right of permanent residence fee, should I pay it with my application?

4. And lastly, how much time they will take to give AOR after I submit PR application. Cuz my permit is expiring soon, so I was thinking about OBWP(Open Bridge Work Permit) as an option.

I'd really appreciate your time and all your replies would be really helpful for me.

HI All,
One of my friend has the name mentioned in her passport as 'Varsha Rose Thomas' whereas in her educational documents it has only 'Varsha Rose', in this case does she need to select the answer to the question as "Have you ever used any other name?" as 'Yes' or 'No'. I am thinking she should select it as 'No' with a same name affidavit and LOE to support it. Is that good enough? Because when she is selecting 'Yes' she has to upload a legal name change document.

Guys i have question around reference letters (major show stopper for me currently)
Query 1 - Is it mandatory to give reference letter from current employer ( i have more than 3 yr of experience prior to joining current organization) - if yes it is - is it ok if my senior colleague from different department certifies my R&R on piece of paper and provides his visiting card
Query 2 - In my earlier organization (from where i have to source reference letter) - my earlier boss has moved out from that organization and is working in another organization as an consultant and does not possess a visiting/business card or an email id - he also does not have visiting/business card of earlier organization - What should be done in this case.

Please reply since this is urgent for me. thanks

 

[mohitk.84]

Two more questions i have

1- For secondary applicant (my spouse) - do i need to show her work experience in work history for her - i feel since i am not getting/claiming any points for that - i should not show it- else i need to produce reference letters for her as well
2 - Do we need to fill in marriage date at any stage while creating CIC profile or it is to be filled in after ITA (AOR stage) ?
