Hello Guys,

I have to enter Family details in one of the section, My mother doesn't use any last name, but system isn't letting me through if LAST Name is blank. Does anyone know how to tackle this situation ?

Thanks

Hello Guys,

It seems you can't edit spouse name once you create an express entry profile, you need to create a new one to do this?

Thanks in advance for your response

Hi,

1) The best time to GET MARRIED is after you submit your application and get AOR. If you do this your points your points will not be recalculated, but if you are married before AOR they will.
2) If this experience does not affect your points you can move it to personal history, where you will not need to upload any evidence. However, if it does, you can find a former colleague or supervisor who can write the letter for you (notarized) and upload it together with the letters you have.

All the best

Hello everyone, I have a question. I received ITA on April draw with 429 points. My work experience is back in Nigeria. I worked for one year. My employer has provided me with a reference letter explaining all my duties and every thing necessary as per cic requirement. My question is I have no pay stubs. Because I was pain in cash monthly by my employer which is stated on the letter. Is theblettwr sufficient enough? I don't have any pay stubs. Thanks

Hi,

What you have is sufficient. Paystabs are not mandatory as the instruction says "if you have them."

All the best

Someone who has crossed this stage, kindly help me please.

I have received ITA, I have filled the PR profile but haven't submitted yet. I have few questions before I submit

I travelled outside my country in 2013 for 10 days, I want to know.. after we submit this profile -
1. Do we have to submit the proof of travel (I got new passport in 2016), so do I have to upload copy of old passport ?
2. Is there an option to update profile (like we had in Express entry profle) ?

Hi,

1) No proof of travel is required, so you do not need to submit your old passport. The instructions only request a valid travel document.
2) Yes, you can update your application as many times as you want until you submit.

All the best

Hi Seniors,

I submitted my documents against the ITA on 15th March, have been waiting ever since. I know it's been hardly over a month, but you'll understand how frustrating all this waiting could get :'( Have 2 queries:

1. Any idea on how much time CIC takes to process the applications after final submission?

2. Also, will they give the final answer altogether or update response for each section submitted separately?

3. In case of latter, how much time do they take to update the 1st section? ;D

Thanks in advance, you guys are always a great help. Cheers!

Regards,
Baldev

Hello

I am new to this forum and to forums in general
Here's a sum up of my story. My husband and I were interested in immigration to Canada particularly under the EE Federal Skilled WorkersProgram. We decided to go ahead with an immigration consultant in order to do things the correct way... We paid the guy 40% of his fees and prepared all the necessary documents for creating an EE Profile (WES ECA, IELTS, TEF). I was the principal applicant , I had no job offer and no provincial nominee ..., though we could get 500 which allowed us to get an ITA really quickly (One week after submitting the profile). The consultant sent us a list of the documents that he needed for our e-APR. We gave him all the items that he had asked us for... We submitted our e-APR in 31 January 2017 and he told us we should expect a response from CIC after 3 months. Yesterday (3 month after submitting the e-APR), we got a message from CIC stating that our application was refused for incompleteness We are so angry and disappointed . the letter said that a certified official translated marriage certificate was missing. We gave this document to the consultant , but it wasn't in the application We decided to redo the whole process by ourselves this time, we recreated a profile and we are waiting for the next selection round to get an ITA. I just found out that our application missed a lot of other requirements such the reference letter containing all the details specified by CIC (roles and responsibilities, annual salary, number of hours per week), the POF also did not contain all the requirements specified ...
The consultant claimed having experience with this program which was clearly not the case...

Do you guys think we could do it correctly by ourselves? I am quite curious and I will follow exactly what is specified in the CIC page"Applications received on or after January 1, 2016, for permanent residence programs subject to the Express Entry completeness check"

Thank you a lot in advance

Hello and welcome to the forum,

I’m sorry about your experience. There are a lot of agents out there that are taking people’s money when they really know nothing about the PR application.

The truth is if you are willing to put in the time and effort, you can do it on your own as it is pretty straight forward. This forum is also available to help when you do everything correctly. The vast majorities of people here have done, or are doing it on their own. So you can definitely succeed without the consultant.

All the best.

I came across this link on cic -
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=014&top=4

Here it clearly mentions not to mention NA, It says - "Enter the complete name in Last Name and leave Given Name blank"
but still it doesn't let me proceed and ask for Given name if I do so

Hi,

The waiting game is not easy but there is not much you can do.

1) CIC aim to process 80% of applications within 6months. Of late, people have been receiving the PPR in around 3-4 months, however, each case is different.
2 and 3) CIC will update your profile in stages, however there is no fixed time. Check out https://myimmitracker.com/ where people update their profiles as they go through the process.

All the best.

Oh ok. That's odd. If you don't get a solution here, you may need to contact CIC.
