Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[DelPiero07]

Hi,

Just want to clarify, once I have the ECA and IELTS score, that's the only time for me to enroll in the CIC website? What about for the PNP, how does it work and when to apply, after my submission for EE? Im a little bit confused with this one.

Thanks.

Assuming you don't have any Canadian education then yes, you must wait for your ECA and IETLS scores to create a profile.

Not misrepresentation, just explain the difference in scores in your LOE.

Not misrepresentation, just explain the difference in scores in your LOE.

Thanks for your response...its a sigh of relief. Can you please share how did you make this assessment that it won't be considered misrepresentation please? Thanks in advance

Hello friends!!

I would like to say thanks all of you who give their important time and help others on this site. Here is my timeline and result.
ITA date : 3rd April
AOR date : 11 may
Marriage date :18 may
Add spouse name date : June 12
Medical pass date : end of June
Ask for additional marriage pics : September 18
PPR : 25 September
Passport send date for me : 29 September
Passport send date for my wife : 2 October
My wife got passport back at 18 October
I just called at cic and agent said I’ll get till next week bcz they already post it form Ottawa.

I have one last concern. I must have to go back my home country for some reason at November 19 and I’m planning to come back at end of February. I have two options to do landing.
1: Once I’ll get my passport then immediately I’ll do landing and then apply for travel documents and then go back home.
2: I’ll go back home and then do landing when I’ll Come back at Toronto airport with my wife.

If I’ll choose option 2 then do I face any problem at airport?

NO You don't as long as you land before the given date by CIC.

Thanks

You would answer 'No'. You have not received a nomination certificate from the province so, even though you eventually hope to get one, the answer is 'No'. Answering 'Yes' or 'No' to that question has no bearing on whether or not you get a provincial nomination. Getting a provincial nomination is dependent on:
1) you meeting the eligibility criteria for the programme
2) you either submitting an application, or receiving a 'notification of interest; and then submitting an application
3) your application being approved (at which point you will receive the nomination certificate)

Thanks a for prompt response. It makes a lot more sense

Hey,

To the best of your knowledge, do you know if your current status in the country of your residence has any bearing to your express entry application?

Hello

I had a question that i was hoping to get an answer for, from an experienced moderator.

While helping my brother file for EXPRESS ENTRY ( I am a landed Resident) I was trying to assess how to reply to Education question where it says

1: Level of education

2: Level of education (Canadian equivalent) shown on Education Credential Assessment (ECA) report Your ECA report will tell you if your foreign education is equal to a completed Canadian degree, diploma or certificate.


My brother has following degrees from Punjabi University patiala
A: B.COM Hons (3 year degree course) assessed by WES as BACHELOR's Degree 3 years
B: B.ED ( 1 year course) assessed by WES as a BACHELOR's Degree 4 years
C: M.COM (2 years Masters Degree) assessed by WES as a BACHELOR's Degree 4 years

QUESTION 1: Am i supposed to answer in the Q1 LEVEL OF EDUCATION degree as per University or as assesed by WES?

QUESTION 2: Am i supposed to write the Complete/full academic years As per WES or as per degree awarded by University.

Thank You

Do we need to send secondary education certificate along with higher education certificate to WES? Is that mandatory?

Hello everyone,

I have already submitted by PR application way back in Aug 22, 2017.

From the past 10 days I am not able to see my submitted application in my CIC account. Before, I was able to see the submitted application status in my CIC account.

I have raised a complaint regarding this issue through IRCC webform as well as the raise technical query section in my CIC account. Haven't heard back from then yet.

Please note that my wife was pregnant at the time of PR application submission, so for medical test we did all the tests for her other than X-ray.

Have they put my PR application on hold as I haven't done my wife's X-ray? And because of this my submitted application is not visible in my CIC?

Please suggest if anyone has faced a similar issue. I am really worried about my PR application status.

Thanks.

Okay, well, for the first, it won't pose a problem UNLESS IRCC calls your employer to verify your employment and whoever they speak to reveals that you haven't actually been working under NOC 0114 for 7 years...

For the 3rd point, as long as the letter points to which entity you're actually employed to, it should be okay (even if it doesn't, you should be okay, but you always want to ensure all of your i's are dotted and all t's crossed). I also work for a larger Group (umbrella company) with multiple subsidiaries/entities but I'm actually employed to a subsidiary (as most of our employees are). My letter is on the Group's letterhead, but the letter has a clear sentence explaining which subsidiary I'm employed to.

@TanakaM @crescent_jam Alright- here is an update. My company has now given me 2 reference letters, and one for my experience from 2010 through 2016(with breakdown in designations), and the other one from 2016 till date as I changed legal entity from 2016 onward (client-serving now).

Hope this is fine, and they're two different NOC codes. I'm also contemplating on changing the NOC code for the latter to 0114 as I feel there is a lot of grey area between 0114 and 0125 - am a Digital Tax Ops and Program Manager with a Big 4. However, I don't reckon the latter can be classified as admin, hence I selected 0125- other business services manager as its got to do with Tax

Welcome your thoughts and suggestions.
