2. Has someone compiled a list of documents required to be uploaded at the stages of A) Expression of Interest, B) Invitation to apply?

Hello guys, does CIC call your employers to confirm the details in your profile and the reference letters??

 

[vd.yazdani]

Hello experts,

I have been gathering my documents in case i ever receive an ITA.
I can get a letter from both places i mentioned work experience from including the duties in details and the duration of each position. I'm paid a percentage of the projects value as my salary and it means i might not receive salary for a couple of months. will that make any problem?
My other question is, is that enough to convince the officer, or do i have to add more documents?
If i have to add more, i only can get some bank drafts on which the company sent money to my account. In addition to that i'm not living in my home country and a couple of times i asked the company to send one of my salaries to their branch in my country where they deposited in my father's account and he later on opened an account for me in my name (he has authorization from me to do so) in my country and deposited that amount in my account. I'm using that account as the supporting fund for the application.
It is not a straight forward case but it is not always possible to plan your life in a way that the officer understands.
I wonder if this may cause any problem for me.
Your advice is much appreciated.

Regards
Vahid

Would anybody please give me an advice on my previous post?
Much appreciated

Sometimes. It's at the discretion of the VO.

What is the method of counting point? It will be helpful for me if you count my point according to the following details:
My Education: Bachelor of Engineering
Age: 29
English Language: IELTS SRWL 6.5,6,7,6.5
Work Experience: 4+ in related field with no gap
Spouse: Bachelor in Architecture
work Exp.: 4+ in related field
IELTS: no

Please revert. Thanks

First, check here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp
or here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp
to see if you're eligible.

Then calculate your points here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
or here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

Note: you cannot create an EE profile without an ECA and IELTS results. So if you select 'no' for these options in the tool, you will be found ineligible.

Hello everyone.

I am a newbie to the forum. Just some quick questions, would really appreciate some help on:

1. Is it necessary/helpful to get WES done for my spouse too? Ill be the primary applicant.
It's not necessary, but you can gain up to 10 points for your spouse's education (but only if you have an ECA done for them).

2. Has someone compiled a list of documents required to be uploaded at the stages of A) Expression of Interest, B) Invitation to apply?
No documents are uploaded when you create your EE profile, but you do need the reference numbers from your ECA report and IELTS results.
The post-ITA document checklist is individualised for each applicant, based on what you've said in your EE profile. CIC has a generic list of documents: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp
On top of this, be prepared to provide documents to support everything you've claimed in your profile.

3. What shall be format for Employer references? I am a Government Employee and not sure if I can get one before quitting.

4. Any recommendations on books/ study material for IELTS in India.
Google it; there is loads of material online.
The official websites offer some sample questions.

Many thanks in advance. Cheers.

No. An LMIA only gains you points if you meet the minimum eligibility criteria, which you don't.

As far as I know it will ask you whether you have submitted an Express Entry profile before, to which can answer 'Yes'.

Thank you! Do I have to provide the reason why I'm recreating my profile?

No, I don't think so!

Hi all,
Please answer my query

i want to send my technical board 1 year diploma to WES for evaluation,i have not recieved the actual diploma certifcate from board yet ,however, i have marks sheet of this diploma
can i ask technical board of education to send WES format transcript form with marks sheet

Is it necessary to send actual diploma certificate to WES alongwith verified mark sheet
or
only transcript or mark sheet send by board is enough

If you have studied in India, you need to send either Transcripts or Marksheets. Additionally you also have to send degree certificate (diploma certificate in your case).

2nd query is regarding FUNDS

i have required funds in cash not in bank,when should i submit funds into bank,
actually, when in express entry funds should be submitted before recieving ITA

If you have funds with you better keep them in the bank. They would need a letter from the bank with many details including current balance and average balance of the last 6 months. So your funds need to be in the bank for atleast 6 months otherwise your average will drop


thank you for your answer

The average balance doesn't actually matter.
All that matters is that OP can prove that the money is theirs.

Could you advise how you can prove that? What are the ways to prove it?

Hi there
I hope someone can help me with that one thing.
I applied for PR (submitted all the documents and everything) and I want to apply for bridging work permit. I found somewhere on CIC website that to get the bridging permit my program eligibility must be confirmed first. When I log into my CIC account it says "Review of eligibility - Review in Progress".
Does it mean that it needs to change that I'm eligible first?

Thank you

 

[istari]

If the money is in your bank account for 6+ months, CIC considers this proof enough.

If it has been in the account for under 6 months, you need to demonstrate where it came from. If it was deposited regularly from your pay cheque, that's fine
If you deposit a large sum of money, you need to provide an explanation; a gift deed, or a certificate of sale for property, etc.
