Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi, 2 questions on proof of funds:

1. Do we only need to prove the funds which has been prescribed for the number of people shown by CIC or we also need to prove that we have funds in addition to the same for CIC fees:
You need to show atleast the min. POF. Extra funds shown will only make it look better.

2. Can I transfer funds to my wife once she obtains an ITA and show as gifts for the proof of funds?
Yes, you can do that.

Hello everyone
I am about to submit my e-PRA with ITA. For this step, the proof of fund is "an official letter issued by your financial institution indicating your financial profile". I assume we cannot provide account statements anymore (not like when applying for provincial nomination)

I live in France and I cannot persuade my bank to make me that letter. The banking advisor refuses to give all information required by CIC, they can only write some details in bold below
_list of all your bank (chequing and savings) and investment accounts, the account numbers, dates each account was opened and the balance of each account over the past six months,
_list all outstanding debts, such as credit cards and loans,
_be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution, and include your name and the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and e-mail address).

So what should I do to make my POF more trustworthy? I suppose that outstanding debts are important too, because the available money means nothing if we have big debts beside. I asked them to add a simple confirmation in that letter, such as "This customer is not indebted toward our bank" or something but they don't do it

Looking forward to hear from you. Many thanks in advance

Submit the letter which your bank would issue you along with 6 months bank statements (stamped, if possible). Also, use an LOE to explain anything that you want the case officer to know or consider while assessing your application.

Hi Everyone,

I have question about ID Documents Summary and Travel history in ITA application.

For ID Documents Summary

I got my passport renewed on 08 December 2016.

Do I need to add my both passports (old and new) or just the new one?

For Travel History

Do I need to add every trip which from Canada to India and the first time when I came to Canada from India?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

I have one more question.
I want to ask if my csr points are 470 and i m in pool and the candidate with minimum points invited in that draw has 480 points.Would they consider me in next draw or just throw me out from the pool of candidates?

You will be in express entry pool for one year, that's the validity express entry profile. Draw happens every fortnight and IMO if you are able to reach 470sh , you may get direct ITA soon. FYI, last draw cut off was 475 (December 23)

Can any one tell me please that the equivalancy required for express entry is for my last or highest degree or I have to get equivalency for my all degrees and transcripts? Another thing is, it's impossible for me to contact my Universities back in Pakistan to send the official degree and Transcripts to any equivalency body as I am already in Canada on a study permit; so is there any equivalency body which can do equivalency for me without asking official post from my previous Universities?

Regards,

No, you will need to have funds to support yourself while landing as a PR in Canada.

Hi All,

While filling the express entry PR application forms, I see that I need to give the details about spouse family members as well in below section:

Spouse form > Personal Details > Family

I want to know that, is it mandatory to give the details of her family ? can I choose to not give these details ?

If I give these details, do I need to submit some identity proofs for them as well ?

While filling EE profile, under work history, do I need to enter history for past 10 years only, or all of it, related or unrelated to NOC I am applying for ?

 

[DivyaJ]

As you suggested that I can submit appkication on WES for my and my husband's in one application so can you please guide me what is the fees for both of our WES.?

 

[Jasmohra]

This is what I found on the cic website. Sharing it here so some air around it can be cleared.

Who needs a police certificate?

In general, you and all the people in your family who are 18 or older need to get a police certificate.

You may need a police certificate from any country or territory that you have spent six months or more since the age of 18.

For example: if you visited, worked or lived in a country for two months, left for a few years, then returned for four months, that counts as spending six months there. In this case, you would need a certificate.

If you need a police certificate from a country or territory and:
are currently living there, or received the police certificate before leaving, the police certificate must be issued within six months before you apply.
have lived there in the past,
the police certificate must be issued after you last lived in that country or territory.

Submit the letter which your bank would issue you along with 6 months bank statements (stamped, if possible). Also, use an LOE to explain anything that you want the case officer to know or consider while assessing your application.

I have one question regarding my EE which is in process. I had apply for Canadian study visa in 2005 and got refusal. Do this refusal effect my EE application in anyway. and I have to declare this in EE application (where they are asking about any previous application details).

Awaiting your earliest reply.

Hi, I sent my US CPA documents for WES evaluation and they returned stating that it is a professional qualification. Can I input this in my CIC profile even though it is not mentioned in my WES ECA?
