Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi Experts,

IELTS : L:9;R:9;S:8;W:7.5. Overall:8.5 which is CLB 10 or CLB 12? because in CIC tool max is CLB 10 (yet to create an EE profile) However Canada visa tool has a CLB 12 as well.

Is there any difference in the scores calculated on CRS tool Vs. When we actually create an EE profile?

Thanks in advance.

you can use the CRS tool to play around and see how many points you get... but yes - thats CLB 10 - nice work

Hi Experts,

Does the accompanying spouse of the primary applicant need to upload the reference letters from all the companies he or she has worked before with?

Thanks.

If you are claiming points for her experience, you need to get the letters. Basically, you get points for spouse's work experience only when she/he has worked in Canada but seems like there is a flaw in eAPR that she would be asked of letters even if she has not worked in Canada and you have mentioned it in her employment history.
In nutshell, if she has not worked in Canada, you should not put her experience in work history but you can mention this in personal history at the time of eAPR which will avoid the hassle of obtaining letters for her.

I want to recreate my EE profile again in last week of October . But I heard from some people that I need 6 months of validity of Celpip test results while creating the EE profile.is it true..anyway I am planing to reappear for IELTS .

Can some one advise me that i can go ahead to recreate my EE profile with previous CELPIP scores and when i Receive the new IELTS scores can i update?

Hi Friends,
I have just got my PNP Nomination and I would fall under CEC category. Is there anyone with similar profile and can brief me about the required documents? So I can prepare my file before getting the ITA.

Thanks

No. As the name implies, Canadian work experience must be in Canada. Otherwise it would be called "North American work experience."

thanks.thought of getting it clarified as it is explicitly mentioned on the cic website that for the accompanying spouse,proof of experience is required only if they have canadian experience.

thank you thestunner316.

Work experience you're not claiming points for should've been left out of your Work Experience, and put into your Personal History instead.

As you didn't get points for it, it probably won't be a problem. But if I were you, I would submit a CSE just to be on the safe side.

Thanks a lot istari.

My doubt is: In the employment records sections we need to provide reference letter with duties and CIC officer will look the same while reviewing each employment record. Even though i am not claiming the points but as per the guideline of employment record section we need to attach duties letter irrespective of the fact that I am claiming points or not. Please correct if i am wrong.

If it is in the Employment History section, you should include a reference letter. Because the Employment History section is only for work experience you're claiming points for.

As you've already put it in the Employment History section and can't remove it, you should upload a LOE stating that you cannot provide a reference letter and why, and that because you're not getting any points for that job, you hope the VO will overlook the absence of letter.

Guys I have a question regarding education...

I'm creating an EE profile for my brother, he has lived in hyderabad all his life . He did his masters (distance) from Alagappa university which is based in chennai.

Question - in education field on EE profile, they ask for university name, and city... what should I mention in city ? Hyderabad or Chennai ??
