Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Hi All,

I work for Canadian company and I got all the letters to employment ( Employee job confirmation document from HR, Employee reference letter with roles and responsibilities from HR, payslips ). How ever I am claiming points for my foreign experience . my employer may not give a reference letter. Even though if they give they will give roles and responsibilities only for last held designation ( I held about 5 different job titles but all are with same NOCC code ) . I read at CIC guidelines, it says I should get job duties for all positions held. Is it practically possible to get job duties for all roles from previous employer ?

#1. Do they mean different NOC's or different job titles within same NOC ?

#2. Will CIC officer reject my application stating not sufficient documentation from previous employer?

Thanks!

No, you don't have to necessarily mention all positions held. If your company will mention only the latest position on the letter, then mention only that title in the work history/personal history section and you'll be good to go!

All the best!

Is there any doctor to advise please? I know a professional degree gets 129 points if married but I really need to know if additional certificates like a diploma would get me more points or not?

HI again,
my NOC in 5241- Graphic Designer
I need help while creating EE profile, in work occupation section there is a disclaimer,
If the "primary occupation" is:
a qualified trade (four-digit code begins with 632, 633, 72, 73, 82, 92), this is the date they became qualified to practice on their own in Canada. (For example, when they moved from apprentice to being a licensed tradesperson.)
any other job, this is the date they first obtained the minimum education or training stated in the NOC description. (Note: if the NOC only states high school, this is the date they graduated.)

i started my job in 2009 and while in the first year of university. i did 6-week Graphic design course before joining. after that i did bachelor of design and completed my degree in 2013. so what should i answer for the above-highlighted question. 2009 or 2013 ? as this field do not require the degree as major qualification.

Hi Everone,


I have a query regarding Medical tests. I guess you can get your medical test from a different country in case you r travelling. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am in London and cannot find the United Kingdom listed in panel physicians list provided on CIC website. There must be a way to get it done here or do I have to go back to my home country to get it done?
Has anyone got his medicals done from London?

thanks in advance. Appreciate your help.

Brijesh

Is UK your country of residence? If not, how long it will take you to go back?

First of all thanks for the elaborate post. I have a question regarding my spouse work history. So, in his work history (of EE profile)I have mentioned NO, however (post ITA) I am confused if I should mention his work in his personal history.

Reason for not mentioning in work history : No points would be added, plus it would add up to the reference letter hassle

Reason I am confused is: I would have to then show him unemployed for 3 years in the personal history, which I am not sure if I should do

Could you suggest what is the best way out:

Option 1: Work History- No and Personal History - Provide details
Option 2: Work History(go back and change in my EE application to Yes and Personal history - provide details
or Option 3: Just mention No in both places

Thanks a lot in Advance
Regards

If you didn't claim points for spouse work experience and didn't put experience, that's absolutely fine.
As you have ITA now, you just need to put her experience in personal history. In personal hisotry you have to put what activity you were doing for that period, so just put work in that activity.

You can mention NO in his work history in e-APR too because the dependent's work experience doesn't count unless it was gained in Canada. So, you can keep this out of the work history section and retain it only in the personal history section. This way, you do not have to submit any documentation for the dependent's jobs.

Thank you @Rajkamal.

My country of Residence is India but I am in UK currently on an onsite project. It's very difficult for me to go back to India to get these tests done. There must be a way to get them done in London.
Trying to find that

Is UK your country of residence? If not, how long it will take you to go back?

I think that is more of a problem for IRCC to think and sort out, not yours, as long as the letter is as per the format and in english language that IRCC requires in.

Yes, if it was less than 10 years ago, you do need a PCC form that country. Also you need to submit your application before your IELTS expires, else you would need to retake IELTS and submit your new scores and TRF.

It was indeed less than 10 years ago. But do I need to submit the PCC now it I can submit it later? It probably takes 2 to 3 weeks to get a PCC from that country. I already got one for my pnp paper application in late 2015. But I don't know if that is still valid.
