Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Guys could someone please explain to me how spouse's work experience is calculated for EE CEC? My wife has about 20 months work experience at 40 hours per week. The number of hours exceeds two years of 30 hour/week work experience but the number of months is less than two years (24 months). Can we claim points for 2 years or 1?

Thanks,

Was your spouse's work experience gained inside Canada? If yes, dependent spouse's work experience can be used to claim points.

You should calculate the work experience at 30 hours per week and you cannot add up the additional hours to make up for the remaining number of days. Unless your spouse has 24 months experience, s/he can claim points only for 1 year

Any idea if we can process two PR application

Application 1 : I am being primary applicant and my spouse being dependent
Application 2 : My spouse being primary applicant and myself being dependent.

CIC website claims that we cant have two profile. But in this case we both have different profiles.

If yes, Can we use same medical test results for both ?

We are not going to do both in same time, but may be with 3 months gap if our situation changes we have a plan to go with another application.

Will it cause rejection to our both applications ?

I would recommend that you rework the section and fill in the information in reverse chronological order.

Ok will so that. Thanks!

You can have two EE profiles as mentioned above, but once one of them (or both) gets an ITA, you'll need to decide to go with that (or decide which one) and cancel the remaining EE profile (or the ITA) as you CANNOT have two applications going for the same person whether as a primary or a secondary/accompanying applicant.

Hi Experts,

My wife and i received ITA in the previous draw. Currently i am filling up the forms and in that they have asked to add information for her passport. I cannot remember that if i have added when i was creating my profile but there is no record of it in the list below the page. My problem is here passport is expiring in August and we would like to get a new one before applying. In this stage it might take up to two months to do so. my question is do i have to fill the form with the information of the current passport to get the checklist of documents and then when i am submitting my documents (hopefully by that time we have received her new passport) upload the copy of new passport and send an LOE along with it?

Regards

Any input will be much appreciated.

Hi Guys!!

I'm also one of the aspirants to immigrate to canada.I am consulting an immigration agency/firm to represent me for the whole PR process and my EOI was submitted approx more than 1 yr back by the firm and the same was informed to me.Also I was told that in case of ITA ,they would contact me for further process.Since there was a regular follow up from their side, I was completely satisfied with their working style until recently when there was no response from their office.I dont have any information about my EOI PROFILE NUMBER.This has caused lot of confusion in my mind whether they really have submitted my EOI with CIC,Canada or not.I'm in two minds whether to wait for firm's reply OR to trace the EOI profile number or to open a new EOI by myself.

If anyone has any info about tracing EOI profile number ,Please share it to me.

regards

Hi,

I can understand your frustration. Have you ever calculated your CRS score yourself using the official tool on the CIC website? If not, I suggest you do so. The last draw invited people with 453 points or more, so if you have more than that you should have received an invitation. If not they may be quiet as you are yet to qualify.

As one guru said, "If you are willing to put in the work, you are better off doing it yourself." - can't remember which one.lol

All the best

This is not misrepresentation. Those questions are for people who have submitted their PR applications post ITA. Creating a EE profile doesn't mean you have submitted a PR application. You can safely say NO and proceed.

Hi and thank you very much for your help and your answer. Really grateful and really relieved I discovered this forum.
If can use your insight again before resubmitting my profile, I have some questions:
I live in France but I am not French
I have a master’s degree which I had recently an ECA for
My first official language for the express entry would be French:
French CLB: 10 for all the subjects
English CLB: speaking 7 reading 8 listening 7 writing 6
But I have many holes in my resume because I didn’t work for years. But I have 3 years experience in France in one NOC in the last ten years (I don’t know my NOC yet for sure, it is complicated between my studies and my work experience)
My questions are :
Am I eligible? In theory I am but I was not accepted the first time so I think it is the ECA thing but I’m not sure maybe it’s the big hole in my resume (I was told that they find holes suspicious, but what can I do it is what it is) or the language I read somewhere that you needed minimum CLB 7 in the second official language (which is English for me). Please confirm.
If I have an ECA for my master’s degree alone (which is my highest degree), do I mention my other degrees bachelor and high school diploma in the form? Do I need to have ECA for all my degrees?
And last question if this new profile is not accepted into the pool again. If I work hard on my IELTS and have better results. Do I create a new CGkey account with a new profile or do I create a second profile in the same CGkey account. Which is better?

Many thanks for your replies means a lot. Hard for us French speaking people, federal immigration forums are mainly in English.

Hello,

Do you know if the master thesis internship which I have done in a company ( Outside canada) which was paid and was done to get my masters degree could be counted towards work experience in Express Entry profile ? ( This was done while I was student and I did it as my master thesis project, it took7-8 months and I was paid for it ).

Thanks a lot,

1. Yes
2. You can print the online statements and get them stamped at London branch. Else, you can send it to your who can get it stamped from India if this is a joint account.
3. You can check with the Medical centre and they will let you know if it is required for infants or not.

Hi sushsmart15,

thank you for replying.

Will try exploring this option of getting them stamped in London.It's not a joint account

also, it is ok to have 90% of the Funds in secondary applicant's(spouse) account.
At this point if I transfer the funds to Primary Applicant's account , it would raise a red flag I guess

1. Yes
2. You can print the online statements and get them stamped at London branch. Else, you can send it to your who can get it stamped from India if this is a joint account.

If you are applying as a couple, then if you show the minimum required amount together then it does not matter. You can transfer the amount to your wife's account and attach a signed self-declaration stating that you have no objection to your wife using this money for the purpose of Canada immigration. You can even show bank statements of multiple bank accounts in different countries with different currencies - only thing matters is that these accounts are either - in your name, your wife's name or joint account.
