Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi All,

I have a query on proof of funds.

Can we show Provident Fund account of the accompanying spouse ? is it an acceptable proof of funds.

Please advice. Anyone from India applied PR using PF and got it ?

Hi Everyone,

Apologies if this may be a repeated question but I haven't been on the forum in a while.

For the work letters I have the following :

- Employment agreement on the company letterhead stating the name and office address of the company. This agreement covers my job title, work hours, salary, reporting manager and is signed by a company authorized signatory.
- In addition to this, I have my payslips and CTC breakup as well.

Do I still need a separate work reference letter or will these documents suffice.

You can create an affidavit in your own words mentioning roles/responsibilities, work hours, dates, and designation, and show it in your application.

It is advised to show Fixed deposits in name of primary applicants only.

In case of joint accounts, get a letter signed by other account holder having no issue if you withdraw money for immigration to Canada.

No, this isn't enough. You need a letter that details your actual job duties. That letter must be on your company letterhead and signed by your manager/hr. if that's impossible to get, you need to get colleagues/clients to write the letter - the important thing is that the letter must be verifiable and written by a third party, not you yourself.

Your job duties are what qualify you for the NOC. Without that, your application will be rejected. And no, you cannot submit a self-written affidavit, that will have no value at all.

Hi Guys, I have submitted my application 6 months ago and haven't heard any reply from them. What should I do? In application status it is showing "Your application is taking us longer than usual to process."

Hi,

Could anyone help me with information on what happens after we get the COPR? I mean, how long a stay should I plan for Canada when I come for the first time?

Hai I m arun,
I just want to ask that I submitted my application for express entry in Canada. I m having only secondary college (puc) but my agency asking for transcript certificate for that to submit in WES.
Whether transcript still required for secondary education?

Thank you.

Not required and given that your agency doesn't even know such basic details it would be better if you got rid off them. They will surely mess up things in future if they have this level of ignorance with respect to the process.

It is an unpredictable thing. Some may get it in 7 days or others ma get it in 180 days. It really becomes hard to generalize on those things.

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

Has anyone done this on own ?

Lots and lots of people. Go through the forums, there are hundreds of examples. Including my own.

I was on a LMIA supported close work permit NOC B for 2 years, and now I am on a 1 year open work permit now. I would like to know if I have can select "YES" here or not? Any idea?

8) Do you have a valid job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (if needed)?
A valid job offer must be

• full-time
• in a skilled job listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B in the 2011 National Occupational Classification
• supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or exempt from needing one
• for one year from the time you become a permanent resident

A job offer isn’t valid if your employer is:

• an embassy, high commission or consulate in Canada or
• on the list of ineligible employers.

Whether an offer is valid or not also depends on different factors, depending on your case. See a full list of criteria for valid job offers.

Thank you.

As per the new ruling from 1st of December 2018, the boards need to send the transcripts directly to WES for the verification in a sealed envelope. They are neither to be submitted by you personally or any third party. Bu do make sure you have WES reference number mentioned on the certificates.
