Hello everyone.

My AOR is 8th Feb 2016, awaiting PR.

The query is that my EE profile expires on June 20, 2016.

Will it affect my application?

Hi All,

I'm working in Uk since 1 year.

As a POF I provided a combination of below:

1) Bank letter for Indian account, which doesn't have much transactions in past 6 months. Bank didn't mention average balance as per their set practice so I provided the bank statement as well. I showed 11500 CAD in this account all transferred over last month by my parents. I provided gift deeds, transaction details, bank receipts, and statement from my account showing these transactions
2) My PF statement showing 7500 CAD, which can be withdrawn in 10 days of resignation, and held by my employer's trust.
3) MY PPF statement showing 950 CAD available to withdraw anytime.
All totalling ~ 20,000 CAD for a family of 3 (already more than the required 18,670)

My concern, is I've not provided bank statements from my UK account, do I need to worry. Does above documents suffice as POF?

And what is the way to pay RPRF now, If I didn't pay it at the time of submission, to avoid delay in processing?

Hello Everyone,

I have a quick question and if there is an existing thread on this, excuse my message and please advise so

My question is regarding Work Experience back at home. I have 1 year experience in my home country and I will input the information to update my EE profile.

My concern is that if back-home work experience should be under some certain professions? or Could it be anything as long as it is full time?

And what kind of proof would be asked as an evidence (except for employment letter ?

Many Thanks

it shouldnt. you should create a new express entry profile and once done, send an email / courier to OINP informing them of the new profile and job bank validation code. they will then process your application against the new profile.

My express entry profile score is 440. I am waiting for my wife's ECA report which should give me further 10 points. Is that enough? Past cut off scores rarely reach 450

Hello People,
Please advise on these.

I have an Msc in Facilities Management (18 months program), and a Bsc in Real Estate Management (5 years program) each from different universities but in the same country. Now, considering costs and time, which of the Degrees is advisable that i do ECA on? I am guessing ECA on just one of the degrees can earn maximum points as per CRS. Or is it compulsory to do ECA on all post-secondary degrees earned and listed on one's profile?

Secondly, I am applying as the principal, but is it compulsory or necessary for my spouse (I have a wife and a 1 yr old son, and they will accompany me if i get ITA) to also sit for IELTS, and have her degree(s) assessed as per ECA?

Thanks all for the help.

Hello

I created express entry profile and followed by job bank registration
I got 2 confirmation messages from CIC. 1st i got express entry code and job seeker code with which I updated my Job bank profile. Previously I had a old express entry profile so I dont have to create the Job Bank profile, i just updated the job bank profile with express entry code and job seeker code. And i make sure the job bank profile is active.

After updating the Job bank profile with express entry code and job bank code, i got the 2nd confirmation message from CIC saying Congratulations! You have been accepted to the Express Entry pool of candidates. Even my points are visible, and i met the CEC criteria.

However, issue is application status is Application/profile status Pending Additional Criteria
and Job Bank Registration Pending

Even though i updated the job bank profile, this status is not changing.

Now i am worried, whether i need to create new job profile with new email address or need to wait for few more days to get updated. Can some one please help me, how long it will take to update the status.

Thanks in advance,
Chandra

Hello Friends,

I'm planning to apply for WES ECA for my spouse. The problem is, my spouse's university is not on their list. I read WES FAQ and according to them, we still can apply for ECA even though the university is not listed and they would research on that.

Can I go ahead and apply for WES ECA ? Is there any one who did so even though the university is not listed ?

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Chiranjeevi

Hi seniors,

I need a clarification with regard to employment reference letters. I am working in a reputed MNC who does not provide any reference letters on their letter head. I cannot get a letter signed and notarized by my reporting manager either. What can i do in such a situation. Can i get a letter from my colleague stating my roles and responsibilities and get it notarized.

Also, is it mandatory for my annual salary to be mentioned in this reference letter, or can i submit my latest revised compensation letter as a proof for that. Thank you in anticipation

I have also applied for Express entry and submitted my docs during may last week, and medicals records are updated to the application. Hope I will not get my PR before this year end.

Questions:

> Can I apply a tourist visitor visa for her now, if that is approved will that affect if i add her to my PR application??

Hi,

You can add or delete work experience entered in your EE Profile before ITA.According to the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC), skilled work experience means:

managerial jobs (NOC skill level 0)
professional jobs (NOC skill type A)
technical jobs and skilled trades (NOC skill type B)

You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week.

Your NOC Code and Skill Level Type (0,A&B)in your EE profile must be based on the job duties mentioned in your work experience reference letter.Match your job duties with the correct NOC Code and stick to that when you submit your EE profile.

You can find more information on CIC website to find your NOC.

Hi,

CIC draws are unpredictable sometimes and 450 is a good score however you need to wait patiently for the cut off scores to come down or search for PNP options and check what best suits you.Another option for you is to wait until probably October or November,2016 where OINP will be sending out invitations with a score of 400+.
