Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Ok, what should I mention in the LOE. Is there any template for the same.

1) Also for Digital photo upload, do we need to upload 2 photographs? And with the information of the photographer to be included on the back of the photo as well?
2) For surname change of my spouse post marriage, do I need to upload the Post Marriage Name difference legal document in the "Other Names" section for her. Also where do I need to upload the Birth Certificates?

3) I have recently joined a new organization. Its difficult to obtain the reference letter from them mentioning my duties and responsibilities. However, I have the offer letter and the salary slips. But For the earlier organizations, I have all the relevant documents available(mentioned in the EE profile
). How should I handle this scenario? Will the offer letter + salary slips from current employer suffice?

3) When i.e in which scenario should I use the letter of explanation(LOE).Can you share any format for the same how to write it.

4) Once I complete the forms and generate the document checklist, can I still go back and update the forms.

Request you to reply asap as my date of submission is nearing.

Thanks

Mention that you had enter her experience in EE profile but have moved it since it gives no points.

1) No this instruction is for when you receive PPR. In PR application you only upload 1 picture without any information.
2) Yes you do.
Birth certificates are not required for adults.
3) You can just move it to personal history if you have not claimed points for it. Otherwise, you will need to a notarised reference letter from a superior, or in the worst case a colleague.
4) Whenever you want to give extra information that you feel is important. No standard format, just a letter with clear and logical headings.
5) Yes you can. Every time you log in it will take you there.

Best of luck

Thanks for your quick response. Some more clarifications needed:-
For point 3 above, No, I haven't claimed points for it. This information was not there in the EE profile on which ITA is received. Also, due to lack of time its difficult to arrange the notarized or official reference letter now. So is it absolutely ok to move this work exp. to personal history and explain in LOE that I can't obtain the reference letter because of just 3 months about being in the existing organization? Hopefully they will not object to it.

For point 1:- This digital photo requirement is mentioned on the CIC document checklist page only. Hence wanted to confirm, because I believe the same photo which we upload now will be utilized when issuing the PR card. Please confirm again.

Another point is :- In the reference letter from Employers, is it necessary that all the positions held with that employer are mentioned. What if they have mentioned only the last designation with them and we can provide other supporting documents indicating designation change like Movement to other department, Promotion etc.

In addition to this, should we merge all the documents associated with an employer like Offer

Dear Experts,
I have two questions for EE.Can you take time and look at them so that I can start applying my profile.

1.As to working experience outside of Canada, they mentioned 1560 hour equivalent to 1year ( 30 hours/week). However, in my country, a week takes up 40 hours of us and I actually had 3 years and 7 months in total ( approx 3,58y). Can I convert my total working year according to Canada definition which means 3,58 x 40/30 = 4.7 Canda working years

2.For language, they clarify the first and second official lang. Is it for English and France respectively?

1) Yes this is perfectly fine. Just put it in personal history. You don't have to explain anything. So people claim points for jobs they did 5 years ago and mention the rest in personal history. So it's normal.
2) It's not exactly the same photo. Even the sizes can be different. This one must be at least 35mm x 45mm.

The letter only need to mention the relevant positions i.e. the ones you are claiming points for.

CIC website says it's taking 48 days to process the BOWP.
If you apply before your work permit expire in June 30th, but comes June 30th you still don't have an answer from CIC, you'll be under implied status and it will not affect your job.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

1) No you can't. They simply look at the years. Any extra hours are not counted so even if you work 100 hrs a week it will just be counted as 1 week.
2) Not really, it's upto you to choose what is 1st. So for a non French speaker English will be the 1st.

Regards
