Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[ay238]

Hi All, I am turning 31 at the end of April. I am concerned that I will loose 5 (precious) points in the Age factor if I act late. The only thing that I have missing is Academic evaluation. I am going for WES, but I hear they are taking about a month and a half in completing the evaluation. With my ECA results at the start of April, I will create an Express entry profile.

• Now does my age get locked in when my EE profile is created? Or will I get points for age sometime later when an evaluation is done?
• When my age increases, does the score reduce?
• Also what happens if I get another degree completed in the meantime, can I get another ECA done, and resubmit it in the same EE profile?

No, they do not take that long, I got my done in 7 days, but again it depends on case to case. If you are considering the whole process of getting the transcripts and sending it to WES, evaluation etc, then yes, it can take up to a month.

• Now does my age get locked in when my EE profile is created? Or will I get points for age sometime later when an evaluation is done?

- No age does not get locked, you will get the score for your actual age, and it will get affected if birthday comes in between.

• When my age increases, does the score reduce?

- Yes

• Also what happens if I get another degree completed in the meantime, can I get another ECA done, and resubmit it in the same EE profile?

- Yes, you can provided it will get you more points. But it will be additional ECA cost if you are not submitting it as part of the first assessment.

Adding to what stanlee has already said, age gets locked after you get ITA! If your points fall because of a birthday after you get ITA, there is no problem! You can still go ahead and apply!

That's your spouse's decision and IRCC cannot force them to do otherwise. They cannot even question their decision. They can (and indeed do) only mandate that if you choose to list your spouse as 'non accompanying' now and get higher points because of that action, your points will be correspondingly decreased if you change that status to 'accompanying' at any other point of time during the application.

IRCC doesn't really care if your spouse accompanies you to Canada or not.

Dear asivad,

Thanks for ur answer, so u mean to say that i should choose married and non accompanying and have to be in that status until i receive my PR isnt? I should not change in any time during application r8?

And does married and husband non accompanying has higher points than married applications? Is there any options of married and husband non accompanying?

please suggest

Dear asivad,

You can change that at any point in time. If you change it, your points will be recalculated.

And does married and husband non accompanying has higher points than married applications? Is there any options of married and husband non accompanying?

If spouse isn't accompanying, the PA is treated similar to an unmarried applicant and points are calculated accordingly.

please suggest

If you are married, you will have to declare that in your Express Entry profile even if your spouse will not be accompanying you. Also, you will have to declare the amount of funds for 2 people which is CAD 15,143. You can check it out here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp.

Additionally, you will still need to get the medicals and police clearance for your spouse, even if they won't be accompanying you.

dear stanley
so u mean to say that there is option for married and spouse not accompanying ? and would it be ok if i show the fund in FDR or POST OFFICE BOND FOR TENOR OF 5 YEARS MATURITY? IS it required to show the fund during fill up express entry or its an issue after getting ITA? I mean from the date of getting ita previous 6 months isnt?

Hi Seniors
Hav one query on EE profile.

When we create EE profile in my cic, do we need to declare all the jobs and NOCs that we have served from the time of starting our job or we need to declare only that job for which we have been declaring our points (by selecting NOCs)

For eg:

Job 1- NOC1- from **** to ****
Job 2- Noc-1 from ***** to ***
Job 3- NOC 2 from ****** to ******
Job 4- NOC 2 from ****** to ******
Job 5- NOC 2 from ****** to ******

If i want to select NOC 2 as my preffered NOC (as per above example), so do I need to submit the docs (appointment letter, roles responsibility letter etc etc) related to NOC 1 as well ??? OR can I go ahead with only mentioning Job 3,4 and 5 in my EE profile and not mention other jobs (Job 1, 2)

Please help

Our EE is almost ready and we would also like to apply to PNP. Is there a way to find the point requirements for each province? And how do we go about applying? Initially we thought Alberta would be a good fit for us, but is it true they no longer accept applications?

Also, is it possible to apply to multiple PNPs and hope that someone will select you?

Please advise.

Please help

You need to provide documentation for all the jobs that you are claiming points for.

If you have 3 or more years of experience in NOC 2 (from Jobs 3,4,5), then, you get maximum points for work experience. Hence, you can mention only these jobs in the work history section and retain Job1,2 in the personal history section alone.

This way, you will have to submit reference letters from job 3,4,5 alone! You need not submit documents for jobs 1,2.

dear stanley
so u mean to say that there is option for married and spouse not accompanying ? - Yes.

and would it be ok if i show the fund in FDR or POST OFFICE BOND FOR TENOR OF 5 YEARS MATURITY? - You can show them provided it is in your name (primary applicant).

IS it required to show the fund during fill up express entry or its an issue after getting ITA? I mean from the date of getting ita previous 6 months isnt? - In the Express Entry profile, you need to mention the amount you have available for settling in Canada. In case you get a PT NOI from Ontario, then you would need to show proof of funds declared in the profile as part of the your application package you would send to OINP (MCIIT). If you have enough points for ITA and you get a direct invite, then you would need to provide proof of funds that you have declared.

Hi,

I have a query related to the NOC for express entry

I have 6 years 8 months of experience(Feb 2007 to Oct 2013) in NOC 2112 and

then another 2 years of experience(Dec 2013 to Dec 2015) in NOC 0212

1. Can i show my experience in both of these NOCs ?

2. Is it possible that if I show 2 years exp in NOC 0212 i wont get the full points for foreign work exp?( since it is the latest exp and less then 3 years)

Thanks in advance!!!

 

[adilkhan31]

Two question guys.

Question 1 - I have 5 job experiences so far:

Job 05 - NOC 2131 - 15 months (on-going)
Job 04 - NOC 2131 - 33 months
Job 03 - NOC 0711 - 14 months (no reference letter)
Job 02 - NOC 0711 - 30 months
Job 01 - NOC 0711 - 10 months (reference letter not in the required format)

In my EE profile which I created yesterday, I listed all 5 jobs. Though I gain full points on Job 05 & 04 (more than 3 years in my primary NOC), do I need to show this in the EE profile? I know people have suggested that post ITA you just show Job 05 & 04 in Work history and keep the rest in Personal History only. However this question is specific to EE profile pre ITA.

Question 2 - Proof of Funds
Since I am at 459 points, I am assuming I will get ITA this month (fingers crossed!). However, my bank statement was credited with CAD 19,000 (notarized gift deed and affidavit done) in November 2015. If by Mar 2016 I upload my bank statement, it will not be 6 months old, counting from Nov 2015 (since the account was also opened in Nov). Will that be a problem?

TIA

2. Is it possible that if I show 2 years exp in NOC 0212 i wont get the full points for foreign work exp?( since it is the latest exp and less then 3 years) - The requirement is that your NOC should be under 0, A or B and you should have worked in this NOC for not less than 1 year(in the last 5 years), which you anyway fulfill. However for the purpose of point calculation, all your foreign work experience will be counted. I myself have 3 NOCs, I don't think my score was affected. In case your concern is to maximize your points, IELTS is the trump card, focus on getting CLB 9 (LRWS - 8777).

Thanks in advance!!!
