Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

I m confused regarding point 6 E (Job letter). What kind of job letter is required. Why would current HR provide me letter if I inform them that I am planning to leave their job and move to Canada. This requirement seems tough to be fulfilled.

Any thoughts how to get these?

The letter required here is a reference letter to prove that you have the experience you are claiming. I see what you mean, but you have to find a way of explaining it to your employer.

Below is what should be in the letter:

"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;"

Hi everyone:
Do anyone know of any employers who are hiring under the Atlantic immigration pilot?

Hi guys
I need help on following questions. I have got my ITA and need help with document submission.

1. For the passport, it says to submit front page, back page and visa page along with all the stamps. So do i submit a copy of all the pages from my current and old passport with previous visas and immigration stamps?
2. For me and my spouse, they have asked for educational degrees so do I submit copy of all degrees or just WES document will be enough?
3. In the document checklist, they do not ask me to upload my birth certificate, but do I need to still submit this?

Regards
Ameer

Hi and congrats,

1) The instructions only request for you to submit the information page, pages with stamps, markings and visa in a current travel document, so there is no need to submit anything from your old passports.
2) You have to submit all your degree certificates and then add the ECA and IELTS report if you would like (highly recommended)
3) Birth certificate are not required for adults.

All the best

Your EE profile is locked once you get an ITA, but you can put the updated information in your PR application and explain the changes in your LOE.

If I decline the ITA and then correct the information in the profile and get the ITA again (touch wood I have reasonable score). Would that be fine... In this case, there would be no need of LoE?

1) Yes it would, but i wouldn't recommend this unless there is gross misrepresentation in you EE profile. However, if you are confident you will get another ITA and feel its your best option go for it.
2) No LOE will be needed.

All the best

Hello everyone, I'm glad to be here. I have a few concerns about my application, please help.

1) For some funny reason, I didn't realize I needed funds in my account for 6 months. I thought i could receive donations after my ITA and present it as my proof of funds but i was wrong.

Can my Uncle transfer the required amount to me as a gift? Will it be accepted as most people use their parents not uncle. We don't even have the same Last Name. Please advice, I can't submit my application yet for fear of being rejected.

2) My current job is a partnership with a family member. I indicated in my application that my job title is 'creative director' not self employed. Is this okay? Also, i don't have a regular monthly salary, just intermittent profit sharing. How best can I present this?


3) I submitted 3 different unrelated NOCs (1123, 2175 & 0421) for my express entry profile because they are my real work experience. However, my present (primary) NOC - 0421 is the one i've been on for the longest (5 years). Is it okay to still use the 3 different NOCs? Should i take out the other 2? How will i explain the gap in time?

Thanks in advance people.

Hi, guys
I really need your help because I can't understand what exactly CIC wants from me now.
I got a request for additional documents yesterday (Schedule A and Travel History), but I'm not sure if I need to complete it (I am the PA) or my husband. It is written like that:

".....In order for us to continue the review of your application, we require the following documents:
1. XXXXXXX - XXXXXXX XXXXXXX: (here is written my husband's UCI number and his first and family names)
2. Schedule A: Please use the following link to provide details of your PERSONAL history. Do not leave any gaps in time.<link>
3. Travel History: Please use the following link to provide details of your Travel history. Include the days in your dates (YYYY-MM-DD) and note the length of stay. <link>"

I'm confused, there is a colon ) after my spouse's name, but at the same time it is written "..details of your PERSONAL history.." and "..your Travel history..".
Any ideas?

Hello People,

Can someone help me on proof of funds?
Most of my savings are invested in properties, which unfortunately I can't show as a proof of fund.
I created my EE profile on 18th Apr and got the ITA on 20th Apr (I wasn't expecting it so early). Now, I don't have sufficient funds in my bank account but my father is transferring me enough money required for POF along with an affidavit (gift deed).
Now my concern is that my bank statements will show a huge credit transaction (or several if I ask my father to do multiple transactions) after my ITA date, lets say 80% of the total POF required. Will that be a weak link in my application?? Rest all my documents are in perfect order...

Thanks in advance..

 

[Mik1990mac]

Make sure your selected NOC is in category 0,A or B.
Make sure you did not select Quebec as you destination.
Make sure the amount of money you will bring to Canada is above the minimum required.

regards

Thank you so much TanakaM you are a great help
I already have an eligible EE profile...

can I have another query? I just want to apply for a job in JOB BANK, but I am puzzled about the credentials that I need to include in doing my account.

I am a RN in the Philippines with 4+ years experience. I just want to know if I can declare my license and certificates in their credentials part? Thanks in advance.

This wont be a problem. The gift deed will explain the sudden increase in finds so this is acceptable.

HELOO... CAN I GET SOME INFOS ON THE USE OF 1ST AND 2ND LANGUAGE TESTS?
DO I NEED BOTH INFORMATIONS ON MY PROFILE OR JUST 1?

 

[AFC339]

Dear ALL.

I have a question for experts, I have the following timeline :

1) Nov 2008- Aug 2012------------- BE Civil Engineering--------------------- Islamabad, Pakistan
2) Sep 2012- Nov 2012------------- No Job (Searching for job) ------------ AJK (Hometown), Pakistan
3) Dec 2012- Oct 2013------------- Job -------------------------------------- Lahore, Pakistan
4) Nov 2013-Dec 2013------------- No Job (Preparing for Visa for KSA)--- AJK (Hometown), Pakistan
5) Jan 2014- Mar 2015------------- Job -------------------------------------- Jubail, KSA
6) Apr 2015- Present -------------- Job--------------------------------------- Jeddah, KSA

As I heard that for Pakistan we have to provide police certificates from each city from Pakistan unlike the Saudi Arabia. I am facing difficulty in getting PCC from Lahore , So what do you guys suggest , can I merge Sep 2012-Dec 2013 in one period and show some job like Home Tutoring in my hometown? As I have more than 3 year experience in Saudi Arabia.

Need you advice and suggestion to cope up with this issue. And Do I also need to provide PCC from city of Education i.e. Islamabad?

Thanks

with or without spouse

Hi All!
Need your valuable suggestion!
1. I am getting married in June. so confused, if I should apply as single candidate of married.
2. an consultancy calculated my CRS 429 individual and 326 with spouse. So again confusion, should I apply individual or married?

 

[vaibhav007us]

Did anyone face any issues if one moves the spouse foreign experience (which anyways does not carry any points) from Work history (in the EE profile) to personal history (in post ITA form)? I would explain the reasons in the LoE that the reference letters issued by the employers do not include one or more of the parameters prescribed by CIC...

Any thoughts on this?

1) You must apply as a single person as you are not yet married. If you get married before submitting your PR application your CRS points will be recalculated, but if you are married afterwards they will not.
2) That calculation seems off. why dont you calculate it yourself: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
