Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Question:

I have a current passport with one more year validity remaining on it. I completed the first stage of the post ITA profile and have reached where documents have been asked for upload(PCC, degrees, etc...)
Regarding PCC, I will be renewing my passport soon since I dont want any clash during passport request( which i hope will happen soon ;-)) What passport will I have to get the PCC based on? the new one ? or the old one? Since I will be explaining my passport renewal in the LOE, what PCC should I be actually getting?

There will not be any changes,such as address or anything, in the new passport( since ive had few passports renewed the same way) except for passport number and validity dates.

And, what pages of the passport to be uploaded ?

In post ITA profile, they ask for identity document/passport. Do we need to enter details of all old passports? or just the current active one ?

Kindly help.

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.

Hi,
I was just removing my current job details from Work history. However, noted that they also ask for current job as well in order to assess it. So is it fine if i don't provide the current job details to them because I can't arrange the reference letter for it.

Hi,

Firstly, no evidence is required in personal history, so you will not be asked to upload anything to support information entered in this section.

Lastly, you can not leave any gaps what so ever in your personal history. So you must enter the periods you are referring to and select UNEMPLOYED as your activity during that time. There is no harm in being unemployed, it is perfectly normal.

All the best

Hi,
Where do we need to upload the IELTS TRF. I did not found any section for the same.
Also, For educational proofs, should we just upload the Degree Certificates or All the transcripts as well in addition to the degree certificates. The size of the file in this case is exceeding 4 MB. Please suggest.

Thanks

Also, I could not see the LOE section in the document upload page. Will it be after this step?

Hello Everyone here,
Today, I'm back here and considering to reapply for Federal Skilled Worker under Express Entry. my application was rejected after medical due to insufficient points. This time I'm thinking about to reassess only my application in Express Entry without spouse and children in FSW category. In which situation, anyone can apply individually and process further. If any member has any information or similar case, knowledge please share here and this will surely helpful to reassess my application. I hope for an informative reply and support. Thanks to all.

Hey guys,
I am going to file my Express Entry Visa application today. As you know that we have to update last 10 years travel history there. Lets say, I file my application today and may be after a month I travel to some other country, will I have to update CIC regarding the same.
Thanks.

No. after you send AOR, no need to inform IRCC about travel plans, unless you are planning to move residence there..

give the current passport only. reason being in most countries they will not renew passport unless expiry date is less than 6 months away...
but if you are 100% sure you will get passport renewed before your deadline of ITA arrives, then you can go ahead and do it...
PCC is not really related to passport, so you should be fine either way. I mean lets say for eg you dont renew passport now, get PCC on old passport, then 6 months later renew the passport - it doesnt mean you need to get a new PCC.

There will not be any changes,such as address or anything, in the new passport( since ive had few passports renewed the same way) except for passport number and validity dates.

And, what pages of the passport to be uploaded ?
Bio pages, and all the stamped pages ... no need to upload empty pages.

In post ITA profile, they ask for identity document/passport. Do we need to enter details of all old passports? or just the current active one ?
No. Just current active one

as long as the old jobs cover the work experience of >3 years, you should be fine.
write an LoE to explain this however

i didnt understand why the application was rejected due to insufficient points... were the points not calculated correctly previously ?
what was the cut off when you applied back then ? and what is the current score now ? reason being last cutoff was 415 so there is a good chance you will get through with entire family instead of applying solo...

Hi,

It will just be a technical glitch. log out and log back in.

1) There is no request for IELTS as you actually dont need to upload it. So you can just upload it together with educational documents.
2) You only need to upload Degree certificates (ones you are claiming points for). Also add your ECA report and IELTS certificate.

Thank You. I'll go ahead with documents

Hi Tanaka,

Thanks for the advice, will follow it...just one more thing to ask so when I get the new passport then what should I do to inform IRCC about the change in passport?

Thanks in advance.

You raise a case specific enquiry (CSE) through your account.

Regards

 

[TanakaM]

Thank you TanakaM for your reply. Can you please check this image if what i did is correct? This is my EE Profile, and what i did was to add separately the part time and full time. I am still thinking whether i should just cut my work experience so the part time will not get reflected.

Also, will i have any issue if i applied for EE and MPNP at the same time? in EE, i answered preferred province is still Manitoba.

Thank you again in advance for your reply!

1)Looks good to me. Like I advised earlier, you can remove since your full-time experience is more than enough.

2)Sorry, i do not know anything about MPNP and how it works so I can not advise.

All the best
