Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Asivad Anac]

You are a veritable mine of information. Thank you very much!

I do have a couple of questions for your response to point 1 above: Once I get my PG-Diploma, should I apply under "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees"? And since my Bachelor's degree is a 4 year degree, should I get an ECA done for my PG-Diploma and my Bachelors degree (the rule states "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees: One must be for a program of three or more years")?

Yes. Get both assessed and you can claim points under "Two or more..."

Thanks, and all the best!

PS: Your profile name is brilliant! It took me a full minute to understand it

Thanks!

You'll need a valid ECA before you are eligible for EE.

ECA

I have applied for ECA of the following certificates:

B.A. Honours (Panjab University)
M.A. Public Administration (Panjab University)
PG Diploma in Journalism (Indian Institute of Mass Communication)

Both the institutes are highly reputed and recognised by WES.

Likely to get a 4 year Bachelors and a Postgraduate diploma. If that is the case, you will be able to choose "Tow or more...".

Did you try the provisional assessment facility to confirm this? http://www.wes.org/ca/immigrants/preliminary.asp

All the best!

60 appears to be the Aussie limit on points for immigration. For FSWP, it is 67/100. If you have 62, you are ineligible.

I did try this facility but it features the bachelors and masters degrees only. No diplomas in the list there for India.

Hi,

1) Do I need to approach any consultancy to apply for Express entry or its same process for individual and consultancy?
2) Is there any difference of applying for Express Entry from India and from USA???
3) if we apply from USA do we have any advantage?

Thanks In Advance​

Hi,

1) Do I need to approach any consultancy to apply for Express entry or its same process for individual and consultancy?

Not really. Depends on how comfortable you are dealing with an online application. Process remains the same whether you do it or someone does it for you.

2) Is there any difference of applying for Express Entry from India and from USA???

No. FBI PCC will be required additionally if you've lived in the US for more than 6 months in a row.

3) if we apply from USA do we have any advantage?

No.

Thanks In Advance​

Going through the sections, it asks if I have sent an application to CIC before..
I have sent my documents for Quebec skilled worker over 2 years ago, before I was married.
I have not updated it and do not want to pursue it further...apparently average processing time is 36 months for UAE... it never went to CIC itself..
so can I just say no I have not applied? I want to close my Quebec application completely..(I only sent file and received file number/AOR 2 years ago... no movement since then).

Another question:
My IELTs result will be on 1st August and results coming on 14th August... I want to submit my profile asap on 14th since its a Friday...After finishing my IELTS on 1st August, can I enter dummy results (my 2013 expired results, but with 1st August date... just to fill it) into the initial eligibility part and spend my time properly filling the EE profile (NOT submitting..only entering info) over couple of days....and then only update the real IELTS asap once received and THEN submit? This is only so that I do not have to rush the profile AFTER receiving the IELTS.

Also, I have the issue of country of education vs country degree awarded.. for my spouse...
He has done a distance course from Dubai, from a local branch of an Indian institute, and final degree is from a known uni in UK. The UK transcript has the India branch of the institute mentioned... he also has his Edexcel done the same way..
So it was distance from India (while sitting in Dubai) and final award from UK....
No way I can get PCC from UK or India (he's never been to either places physically)

This is why I need time for EE profile.. Please advise how I would fill that in education field in EE?
In addition to trying to put it into education field (somehow, if possible?), I will also add a letter of explanation.. is that at EE or after ITA.. or both?.. and where do I put it? Does it have to be notarized or marked in any manner, or just typed and signed myself?

Anyone?
