Express Entry Step by step instructions.

There are a lot of irrelevant and confusing stuff on google regarding Canadian immigration and the reason I posted here was because I was not able to find a proper answer, think of it as my inability to search for the right answer or inability to comprehend but I don't want to mess up my APR by trusting unknown random info on google xyz link especially having messed up applications before.

I appreciate your suggestion anyway.

Can anyone else please help me find what I am looking for? Thanks.

If you are still eligible without the points gained for a relative, then you can leave out the documentation, and provide an LOE.

Hi Seniors I have query with my APR,

In my previous study permit and work permit applications to CIC I have identified my aunt (mother's sister) who lives in a different province and is a citizen of Canada.

To keep information consistent I mentioned that in my EE profile and that is populated in my APR now.

I learnt just now that Proof of relationship to a relative in Canada, status of a relative in Canada and residence status of a relative in Canada is needed to be provided by the primary applicant (which is me)

some of the document requirements listed will be difficult for me to provide,

- Evidence that the family member currently resides in Canada must be provided (a residential lease, mortgage documents, utility bills, etc.).
The documents should be up to date as of six months prior to submission.

- Proof of the relationship of the applicant or the spouse or common-law partner to the family member must also be provided (e.g., a birth certificate, an official document naming the applicant as a parent, a copy of the inside back cover of the relative’s passport showing the relative’s parents).

I can ask her for the utility bills but she is a home maker and all the utility bills are on her husband's name.

Proof of relationship to the family member (it's my mother's sister) I don't have any document connecting me with her?


I don't want any points for the relative, I entered the info to be consistent with my previous applications.


Can I submit a letter of explanation that I cannot provide this proofs and do not wish to be awarded any points for these?


Please advise.

@istari is correct!

You can leave this information out and stop worrying about it. IRCC isn't interested about your aunt - They are interested about you and your documents. Even though you might have mentioned about her earlier, there is no obligation to mention her details in your PR application because it doesn't award you any CRS points. This is not misrepresentation, IMO. Delete this relationship if you still have enough points and proceed with your application.

Good luck and all the very best!

Hey guys, my dad has inactive tb and needed medical surveillance but the officer at the port of entry didn't ask for the medical surveillance form and my dad forgot to present it. So now it's not stamped. Has anyone been in a situation like this?

Whoa, this is a critical situation, IMO. I don't think you will get a reply for this question on this thread. I would suggest you to PM a senior member like PMM, qorax, Leon or scylla. They probably would have the information that you are looking for.

If you're willing to put in the work and effort do it yourself.

Unless you have a difficult case I would always advice against having a consultant, those a-holes only want your money.

My case is quite straightforward. My understanding is to just upload the documents, is that right? I have a few questions:
Do the documents have to be notarized or something?
Can I upload the documents gradually and save?

Thanks,

being a second applicant I have entered my employment history upfront.I referred to CIC website, I came across this hence wanted to be sure before I get into the hassles of arranging the employment letter from the current employer :

The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).

Individuals who must submit this documentation

The principal applicant
Their spouse or common-law partner (if work experience in Canada is claimed)

can anyone clarify this?

 

[istari]

can anyone clarify this?

The spouse cannot claim points for foreign work experience, only Canadian work experience.

If you (the spouse) wish to claim points for foreign work experience, you must provide documentation (the same documentation that is required for the principal applicant).

If you have mistakenly entered foreign work experience, you can simply upload an LOE stating that the work experience was added by mistake, and that you are unable to provide documentation but can the VO still, please, consider the application as complete, because no points were gained for this work experience anyway.

Thanks,

Only the translated documents have to be notarized unless it is translated by a certified translator.

Yes you can upload gradually

Thanks,

1) If your documents are not in English or French, then get the documents translated and notarized. Please note that you in this case, you will have to submit both the original and the translated versions of the document.

2) Yes

 

[rajkamalmohanram]

can anyone clarify this?

If you have not submitted your application yet, I suggest you to remove the work experience from the work history section (and retain it only in the personal history section) for the dependent. This is because this information is superfluous and completely unnecessary and isn't going to benefit your application in any way.
