Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. I am planing to apply for EE. I have a question, really appreciate if someone can answer.

I have 2 years working experience as a Marketing manger in the UK and have the reference letter as well. Problem is that I got this experience on student visa during my studies(and after bachelors degree) of MBA in the UK. Moreover I have one year working experience in UAE as a Business development executive(current job since march 2016) after completing the MBA in 2015. Will that be ok if I include that 2 years work experience to secure more CRS points or should I just apply with one year experience. I am asking this question because I read in this forum that experience we got during studies will not be considered. Please advise

It is clearly mention on my reference letter that I have worked more than 30 hours each week along with my responsibilities.

The rule you are referring to is for Canadian work experience. You can claim point for foreign work experience gained while studying.

All the best.

Hi,

1) You don't need to reenter your travel history in personal history.
2) Everything should appear in the order you enter it in.

Hi,
Those who have federal ITA, how they can prove financial requirement. If I deposit 10K in my account once, will there be any issue with it? Please anyone enlighten me.

If I didn't pay the RPRF together with the application at the beginning, can I still pay it in advance without being requested? Or I'll just have to wait for the request...
Thanks.

You're welcome.

Can someone report the thread to the moderator to ask that it becomes a sticky? This question gets asked quite often.
Dear Yampower,

In 2017, when I am aiming for EE, does the above mentioned process still remains the same or has any changes. Please help me as I am confused with this topic. Thank you in advance.

Hello People,

Can someone please help me? My CRS is 435 and I am trying to create an EE profile.
I have an issue. I did my engineering from 2005 - 2009. I had a backlog which I cleared in 2011. So, basically my degree says - 2011.
But I am working as a professional since 2009 (right after my college).
So, my concern is what should I put in my EE education profile - years attended 2005-2009 or 2005-2011? And what should I put in my work history then - working since 2009 or 2011? I have all my employment letters from 2009.
Please help guys.......

Thanks in advance !!

Hello All,

I'm planning to put my savings in Fixed Deposits for Proof of Funds. I'm the primary applicant and I will be taking my wife and kid along as well.

Can you please advise if I should have all FD's in my account or can I have some FD's in my wife's saving account as well. If yes please advice what should be the proportion and also if I would need any affidavit or other documents to show FD's in my wife's account.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Darshan

The thing you are trying to avoid is having a significant difference between the average and current balance on you bank letter. If there is a major difference you are likely to be asked for a source of your funds.

So yes, you can deposit 10k at once and keep it in the account for 6 months, or keep it for less and explain the source.

All the best

Hi,

1) Put the date on your ECA, I assume it will be 2011.
2)work history - 2009 if you were studying outside Canada. 2011 if you were studying in Canada.

All the best
