Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[rajkamalmohanram]

Hello everyone.

In my ECA report, the equivalency of my BS Computer Science degree is only Diploma of 2 years which means I am already disqualified in Ontario PNP. In that case, do I still have to declare that I have a sister-in-law in Ontario to get additional points? Or is it much better not to declare it as I have to get PNP nomination from other provinces that doesn't require bachelor's degree or higher. I am thinking that if I declare it, my chances to get PNP in other provinces will be lower because they know I have a relative in Ontario. Btw, my husband is my secondary applicant.

Thanks a lot!

Declaring your relative has 0 value to your application. Doesn't award you any CRS. IMO, applicants are better off not declaring their relatives because that would save them some documentation.

Hi everyone!

I tried recently to submit my EE profile, but it appears ineligible. I cannot find any mistake.
I have my Canadian college diploma (2 years), ECA for my home-country 5-year university program (master's). Should I mention school years?
I have 1.5 year of Canadian work experience and 2 years in my country (different NOC).
My language scores are more than 7 for every level.
Married, no kids, enough money.
Husband has 1 year of Canadian work experience, good language test results, 2 bachelor degrees from home-country. No Canadian education.
Cannot figure out what can be wrong.

What are the common mistakes making a profile ineligible?

Common mistakes would be inputting wrong amount of funds, choosing the wrong primary NOC (NOC in which he has no sufficient experience etc) etc among other things.

From your profile, I believe you should be definitely eligible.

Use this tool -

Once you are done with this, you would get a reference code. Use that to create your EE profile. Good luck!

hii . i just wanted to know is interview compulsory under all the categories in express entry ?

No but there were instances where EE applicants were called for an interview. Pretty rare, I would say.

Hi Guys,

I'm in the EE FSW program and now I uploaded my eMEdical document, PoF, Police Certificate and the rest of educational and employment docs. What are the next steps after paying and submitting the ITA? How long it usually takes to proceed the application? I submitted the ITA 50 days prior to the deadline date if it matters...

If I did something wrong/hadn't upload the right or enough docs, CIC would notify me quickly?

If anyone has approximate timeline I would be thankful!!

Hi Prashant,

With 333, it looks highly unlikely to get ITA unless you apply to a PNP (non-Ontario ones). Please visit the PNP thread on the forum (pinned thread) and start your research there. I am not sure what your consultancy has promised you.

Thanks.

Check this link for the steps involved post AOR http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/aor-in-march-2016-good-luck-all-t400931.0.html;msg5053419#msg5053419

On an average it takes 5-6 months for a decision to be taken on your application, again it varies from case to case.

If the required documents are missing, then CIC will not ask for it, they will reject the application. It is the applicant's responsibility to submit all the documents listed in the document checklist. However, if they need additional documents, then they will ask for it.

If I would be rejected, may I enter the pool once again?

Yes, you will have to start over again.

Hey Guys,

The city of destination in my CoPR says Toronto. However, I plan to land in Vancouver (as port of entry) directly from India.

Is it okay or I have to have to land in Toronto?

Thank you
Reena

For FSW and CEC - You can land in any province except Quebec (it doesn't matter what your COPR says)

Cheers

If you want to apply under FSW and you do not have a Canadian degree, you must get an ECA for your degree. Otherwise your profile will be ineligible.

Cheers

You can use the following links to understand and create your Express Entry profile.

• Check Eligibility - http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp
• CRS Score Calculator - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
• Express Entry FAQs - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/questions-answers-by-topic.asp?top=29
• Creating an Express Entry Profile - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp

You need to get ECA (in case of non Canadian degree) and IELTS done. IELTS has a major role in boosting your CRS score. Use the calculator to see the impact that higher IELTS can have on your CRS score.

In addition to the CRS score, CIC assesses federal skilled worker (FSW) applications based on six selection factors.

If you score 67 points or higher (out of 100), you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker.

If you score lower than the pass mark of 67 points, the applicant will not qualify to immigrate to Canada as a federal skilled worker and the Express Entry profile would be ineligible
