Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[CanadaWeCome]

I was wondering if there is any need to get spouse degree also evaluate for express entry?

It depends on what's your score on the FSW grid.

even i got this mail . do we need to submit the proof of funds like bank statements by uploading it in EE profile ? I searched for any upload link to upload the same . but could not find it . for the question How much money would you like bring with you , I gave it as 16000 . there is no link as such under this question to upload the document proof . Currently I am waiting for ITA.

My understanding is you just have to state the amount in the EE profile, then provide proof in the PR application.

If you have been in the US for an accumulated period of more than 6 months, then yes you will need a PCC from US FBI.
If you have stayed in India post attaining 18yrs of age for an accumulated period of more than 6 months, then yes you will need a PCC from India too, but as an NRI you can apply for that from the Indian embassy in the US.

Thank you!!!

You can use it as long as you haven't been on your home country since then (assuming you don't reside there)

If you currently reside there then it only has a 6 months validity.

Don't mention it then.
Not to diminish the importance of the certification but you'll hardly achieve anything by mentioning it in Job Bank anyway.

Hi,

I have couple of question on work experience letter

1. I have full time written on my job letter but not the number of hours work per week
2. Do i need to include how many hours per week in experience letter ?or full time will be enough on my experience letter
3. I can get it done in old date, but was thinking it would create any flag in the mind of officer as the letter will be per cic requirement but in old date , now the company is sold out.


Any advise appreciated


Thanks

Ideally, it must state how many hours you worked per week. I would make all efforts to get a new one.

I have activated my job bank profile. Still it is coming as pending state in my CIC profile. Any light towards it?
