Inquiry Regarding PCC:

I have 2 PCCs. 1 from my home country and other from United Arab Emirates (UAE)
1. From my birth to 2010 - I lived in my home country.
2. From 2010 to 2012 - I lived in UAE. (UAE Pcc does not show any duration of stay)
During these 2 years, I have visited my home country frequently (6 times, total stay around 4 months)
3. From Dec 2012 till date - Home country.

So When I asked my home country Police to include all these 6 entries and exits in the PCC (Because I was in my home country for this period), they said that there PCC format does not allow this many entries. And they mentioned the whole time (even the time I stayed in UAE) in their PCC.

So now I am really worried about this situation. Do you think it can create a problem? Or it is not a big issue?
Plus I am thinking of writing explanation letter regarding the situation. Is it Ok?

See, as long as the duration mentioned covers the ENTIRE period of your stay in the country, you are good to go! IMO, it doesn't matter if it includes the period you stayed outside. As long as it covers all the period you stayed in the country, you are good to go! No issues here.

Will i be able to select "2 or more diploma,degree , out of which one is atleast a 3 year or more program" while filling out express entry profile.

I did diploma of 3 years after tenth and then engineering.

Please help.
This depends on what is mentioned on your ECA report. What does the "Summary" on your ECA report say?

we just looking to get extension so we can apply for PR.
So is it possible to extend our work permit on basis of our child.


Your replies are appreciated.

I am not aware of any such provision wherein you can extend your WP based on the Canadian citizenship of your child.

If i create my profit right now for the first time ever will it count if there is a draw tomorrow?
Yes, if your EE profile is active AND your CRS >= the cutoff CRS of the draw, you will receive an ITA.

Check this to see what exactly falls under LMIA Exempt ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/exempt.asp

BUT, check this - www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/offer.asp

In the light of this information, you might NOT be eligible to claim points for that job. If you are on a OWP, your employer needs a new LMIA.
Thanks for replying.

I am on open work permit. But that work permit is depend on my spouse's PGWP. So my OWP will count as any other OWP or work permit issued to spouse of a foreign worker?

As work permit issued to spouse of a foreign worker and international student in Canada is exempt from needing LMIA but Any other work permit including PGWP needs LMIA.

So Will I get points for valid job offer without LMIA?

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I need some expert advise with my express entry profile. First of all the following is my work experience:

1.) July 2011 - Aug 2012 - USA software engineer company 1
2.) Aug 2012 - June 2013 - USA software engineer company 2
3.) April 2014 - March 2016 - Business development officer for a chemical company on sales based commission in India (Not an employee here, but earn percentage on sales)

Can you please suggest what to put down on the profile. I think I already qualify for Express entry FSW because of No 1.

What is tricky is No 3. As it is on commission basis with just 1 client, will it be called self-employed? If yes that under what NOC to apply for it? And is it the case that such work experience will not count at all for express entry?

Thanks in advance. I have gained tremendous info about most things by reading through this forum. I am very grateful to the contributors :)

Hi
1. If I have the work reference letters as per the format that IRCC requires, do I still need to submit pay slips, colleague reference letter etc... along with the file?

2. I held 5 job titles with the same employer, so each is showing as a separate work experience. The reference letter I have state all Job titles, so do I upload the same document for each Job I had, so end up uploading the same file 5 times?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have an active express entry profile with 456 crs points now last night i opened my express entry profile and the education section shown in progress and when i opened that section everything is complete rather than ECA which was i clicked before two or more bachelors degrees but now CIC removed that point of "Two or more bachelor degrees". I have two bachelor degrees one of 3 years and one of 1 year as per ECA and 1 masters which is post graduate diploma as according to ECA, so right now i have no option just to choose bachelor degree option and after that when i tried to update and transmit the button of continue doesnot pop-up so i can transmit my data now status of my profile is "not submitted". I dont know what to do but the CRS point are same 456 , if by chance cic go for draw can they consider my profile because it is under progress and cant allow me to update? secondly how can i update?Thirdly any changes that it can decrease my points ? Please help totally confused.

Just go to google and type your job profile and NOC canada i think it will show you options for that.

Hello,

After I submitted the passport copy and photo, what should I expect?


The next step is download the Confirmation of PR from the CIC website, right?
