Hi, do you guys think that the CEC draw will be reduced by September? It seems like Canada will be opening the economy again, that's why I am thinking that there will be more draws for FSW.

Hello,

I'm in the starting line right now (IELTS coming up, school processing my Academic Records). I just like to ask about the Express Entry in British Columbia to which I have only registered. In the WES website, you can add a recipient and already added myself and the Canadian Immigration Office. There's also an option to add the Government of British Columbia. Should I do this now even though I'm not finish with the processing of my education and WES hasn't received it yet?

Also, what will happen after selecting 'I confirm that I qualify all the category requirements' on the British Columbia website? I'd just like to know what will happen after this step after I already have all the requirements (IELTS, Education). I'm a web developer and I saw that this skill is listed in BC list of skilled employment, that's why I was interested to apply there.

Am I in the right direction? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,
I received invitation in the last 380 draw, but the problem here is that my 2 years of experience is not completed yet. I had a temporary lay off due to covid-19, and I didn't update it in my profile, so system automatically calculates 2 years of experience, and gave me an invitation. But, my 2 years of experience will complete on first week of July, 2021, and I have deadline to upload all the documents is August 30, 2021. How they will count my experience, when I received the ITA or when the invitation is accepted?

So, In this case should I accept the ITA or decline it.

Please advise.

Thanks for asking this I am interested to know as well, and whether they will now open FSW more for outlanders and if how many months is the turnaround time now from the time you submitted a profile until ITA is received.

Hi

In the letter 'e.' step (contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. ). Do I need to contact my very first employer after I graduate? What if they have already closed? I've been working since 2008 and I'm not sure if all of them are still open (or still have the same name).

Also, what if I have already obtained job letters from them before. Will that be sufficient or should it be the latest letters?

Hello. I need some guidance from anyone who recently had ITA. Is it true that upfront medicals are no longer being done for persons outside Canada? But we should rather write an LOE and wait for instructions for medicals after submitting.

Yes that's correct.

If you and your dependants are outside of Canada

Don’t get your medical exam as soon as you get your invitation to apply.


We will send you a form telling you when and how to get a medical exam.


When you apply online, you must submit a letter of explanation in your document checklist instead of your immigration medical exam (IME). In the letter, you must indicate that the primary applicant or the accompanying dependants of the primary applicant are outside Canada.

I made a same mistake. I forgot to add middle name at time of profile creation. Now, i got ITA and I realized that I forgot to add middle name. So, i used modify tool and updated it. But, it ssaw first+ last name not middle names on ITA letter. Is it fine? Or should i have to declined invitation?

Hello,

I've got my ITA in EE profile and now I'm filling out the application for PR. Could you clarify some questions about "Proof of Means of Financial Support"?

1) Do I have to attach financial letters from all banks containing my accounts, or can I attach only several ones, just to prove that I have a sufficient amount of funds?

2) Should I upload any information about brokers' accounts (with shares and bonds)?

Hello Everybody,

I have a question. My name is "ABHILASH H M" in all the documents, such as my birth certificate, education creds, and other identification documents except my Passport. In the passport, the letters H & M are expanded as "ABHILASH HANIYUR MUNEGOWDA".

I've applied for IELTS and they've taken my passport name, whereas the WES evaluation has my regular name.

My question is, what should I use while creating an express entry profile once I get my IELTS score? Would these two different names be an issue? I am from south India where many people wouldn't have the last name so we use initials instead.

1. instead, you should use one account for the pof, this would reduce the paperwork.

2. only if it's a part of the pof and can be liquidated if and when required.
