Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I have an EE question...will I get points for my spouses education? Meaning, should we pay the extra $ to get her transcripts evaluated? She has a Bachelor's degree. Would it count for more points in EE to have her do a language test instead? English is her first language so she'd get a good score, but they are expensive tests.

Thank you!

You will get 8 points for your spouse's Bachelor's degree, and 20 points if she scores CLB 9 on all bands of the language test.

Thanks Istari. Would you say that amount of points is worth it in the long run for EE? 28 doesn't seem like much, but then what do I know!

It depends how many points you have.
The most recent cutoffs have been around 482+. If you have 470, that extra 28 will get you an ITA. But if your current CRS is 400, increasing it to 428 won't make a difference.

Your A11.2 might have been set to"Met". Consider ordering GCMS notes to know more about the status of your application.

Check this to get an idea about BG checks -

While creating and submitting your Express Entry profile, you need not upload any documents. You will need to upload documents only post ITA.

Thank you,Stanlee

You should use your national ID only if you do not have a passport. You do not require it otherwise.

you can submit your address change via web form, it will take 5 business days to update.

Thanks Jaybe for your inputs. I did submit the address change request via web form on 2nd August but I didnot receive any response. Also there is no way that I can login and check.


One of the probable reasons could be that in the original application also I had put my correspondence address of India which is the new address that I sent them to update. But until I get any confirmation or clarity, it is concerning me.

PS: Yesterday I received a message to pay 490 CAD and submit RPRF. I have done that and also attached a letter seeking clarity about my address change. I also noticed 'Background Check' in progress yesterday.

I am afraid because of lack of clarity about my application processing office because of change in country.

Can anyone please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to clarify this?

Reiterating original scenario:
I had submitted my EE application while in UK with residence as UK however I came back to India in July end as the assignment finished. I tried updating CIC via webform for the change in residence and address.
AOR: 19 May 2016 -
Backgorund CHeck in progress - 20th Sept
RPRF(payment) - 21st Sept

Thanks in advance.

Dear experts. I have a question regarding my Express entry and recent TRV which is bugging me a lot. I applied for TRV couple of months ago and in the employment history section from 2009-2011 I just put as full time education, even though I was working full time but as I wasn’t sure I would get a reference letter from that employer, I didn’t mention it (I know silly mistake) Now I want those three years to include towards my foreign work experience but I am confused what to do. If I include my CRS is 481 if I don’t it drops to 456. Please kindly help me with it
Thanks

Hi Experts,
Please help on the below clarifications.

I received ITA in EE and submitted my docs and medicals passed on June 10, 2016.
I am getting married this Nov mid, till now I did not get any updates reg my EE application, that's good
My work permit is ending Dec 2016, so I cannot apply dependant visa thro my company for my spouse. I have applied for WP extension which may get approved during Nov.

Doubt:
Can I apply for a tourist visa for my fiancee?
If the above is successful after she comes here and I got my WP extended Can I convert that to Dependant visa, so that she is eligible for provincial health insurance and other benefits.
Will this tourist visa approval or rejection afftect my process to add her to my existing EE application?

Thanks in advance !

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for this great thread, very helpful
I just have a doubt or more like a question about the assessment of experience / reference letters from previous employers, i know about educational documents being assessed by WES etc, but what about these reference letters?
To whom one should go to verify these ?
Do they need to be assessed by some authority?
How do they assess these letters if this is not done by Principal applicant like educational documents assessment?
