Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hey guys,

I have a quick question, I recently got an invite under CEC but while reviewing and validating my forms I realised that I did a mistake while filling the work history form.

The answer I filled is (Do you have a current job offer 'Yes' Do you have a positive LMIA 'No') though it did not gave me any points for arranged employment or LMIA but still I know the answer to this question (Do I have a current valid job offer should be 'NO') as i do not have an LMIA from my employer


My concern is can I still edit my form after receiving the Invite? and if I do not edit my answer and continue with the same invitation, can this affect my application even if I haven't got any points for LMIA?

Since you did not get any points for this, there is no problem. Add a LOE mentioning the same if you see the need.

Hi Frnds/Seniors,

I got ITA on 10 Feb and filling forms before the document checklist.

I have one query:

I was in UK for 2 months in 2013. Do I need to mention that address as well in my address history section along with my other addresses in post ITA forms ? Please suggest. I know PCC is NA for UK as I have stayed less than 6 months.

Please see below the details for your ease:

Feb 2003- Sep 2013 - Address 1 (In Pune/India)
Sep 2013- Oct 2013 - Address 2 (In London/UK)
Oct 2013- Till date – Same above address of Pune/India (Address 1)

Please suggest do I need to mention Address 2 as well in the address History section or can I go ahead with mentioning Address 1 from Feb 2003-Till date ??

I have already declared UK travel in travel history section. Please help on above query

Since this was an international travel, you might have to mention the UK address in the address history section.

OK thanks Raj,I will mention the UK address for two months and format will look like below in my PR form:

Feb 2003- Sep 2013 - Address 1 (In Pune/India)
Sep 2013- Oct 2013 - Address 2 (In London/UK)
Oct 2013- Till date – Same above address of Pune/India (Address 1)

Is that fine ???

But I can go ahead with only one PCC for Address 1 from Pune/India? as stayed less than 6 months in UK ?

Please suggest

Yes. Since you have not stayed in the UK for 6 months, you do NOT need a PCC. You can get an PCC for India from PSK in Pune. PSK PCCs are not time/geography bound.

Good luck!

Since you did not get any points for this, there is no problem. Add a LOE mentioning the same if you see the need.

Thank you for the answer Raj,

One more thing I am concerned about is - While filling the forms before document checklist, I still have the option to update the work history form before submitting the documents. is that right to do? Can I change my answer to 'No' for the current valid job offer question? as the previous form before receiving the ITA is already transmitted and locked.

Yes, I don't see why you should not make this change. Since there is absolutely no change to your points, you are good to go! You can add a LOE telling why you changed this, if you see the need!

 

[kakmam1]

Hi Raj,

Does PCC from PSKs has any address (like present/permanent) in that ??
can you please help me with the format how PCC from PSK looks like?

You can google for the format.

PSK PCC doesn't have any addresses or time periods.

Thank you for the quick reply,and yes u r right - there is noting to my score because I anyway entered 'NO' for LMIA. can you please suggest a couple of lines for what explanation can I write about changing my answer for valid job offer to 'NO' I mean how to justify this mistake done in the initial form

This is not a problem. Your line of work does not necessarily have to be relevant to your education for the purpose of your PR application! If your roles and responsibilities match the roles in 2171, you can go for it.

If you are not sure if 2171 is the best fit for you, you can send an email with your roles and responsibilities to noc@workingincanada.gc.ca and they'll get back to you with the most appropriate NOC.

Apologize and tell them that you selected "No" by mistake and request them to accept the change. Alos highlight the fact that this has note brought about any change in your CRS whatsoever.

1) You do NOT get any CRS points for having relatives in Canada. You, however, will get 5 points in your FSW grid for having a sister there (Note that you will have to prove the relationship to CIC if you mention & claim points for this).

Check this link (under Adaptability tab) ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

2) Birth Certificates are NOT required for PA and spouse for your post ITA application. Only children require Birth Certificates.

Check this ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp

3)If your employer does not provide a reference letter on the letter head, get it from a supervisor or senior colleague on a plain paper (and get it notarized). Along with this, submit the business card or ID card of the person giving the reference. Also, be sure to provide all other documents like your offer letter, appointment letter, hike letter and payslips.
