And by the way personal details became in progress when I click on check for completeness everything is ok.
I deleted my EE profile thrice and recreated, tried 3 browsers but same issue.

In the same session, click on the personal details, just open it, save it and come back.. now it should show all OK, click on CONTINUE.

Hello guys,
I've applied under FSW and submitted my application on 25th Dec, and now I'm applying for Express Entry, but I haven't received any file no/ UCI no, how to deal with it!!?? Please help me out.!?
It is not accepting without previous file no.!
Any idea fellas!!??

Please answer no to the question that asks whether u have applied before, it wont ask for UCI no. I did the same.
confirmed from CIC.

There is no submit button after I completed the EE profile.
Pls help.

Please click on completeness check button first, if your all forms are filled in fully you will see a continue button near the bottom of the page and you will be forwarded to sign page.

Hi

I have adoubt regarding the express entry system. Actually I already applied for FSW 2014 and I send my file to CIC on OCT 14 2014 for 2173(Software engineer). But it is likely not accepted as the quota got filled. I want to apply for express entry, but while creating the express entry form, there is a question in Immigration history and Citizenship paragraph "Has rose rosemathew applied to Citizenship and Immigration Canada before? " what should be the answer for this? If I am giving yes since I send my file on October 2014 they are asking for "Unique Client Identifier " number which I dont have since my file is not accepted there. I will get this only after I get my file back I suppose. what should I do in this situation?

And also If I am eligible to apply without UIC number Is it possible to apply with document copy if I got ITA?(As I am not sure when I will be getting my doc back from CIC)

Is there any way to contact CIC to request for my file back if it is not accepted? Eagerly waiting for your reply. Please help me on this

the answer should be No, unless your file is processed you wont be considered as already applied!

Hi Sumit,

Thanks for the reply. So I can go ahead and create EE profile I believe, But I have other doubts like what if I got ITA and my documents not yet received from CIC. How will I apply within 60 days? Also Is there any way to contact CIC regarding my file returning?

Thanks
Remya

Dear Jkal'

you are doing a great job! keep it up..

Someone on the forum had emailed CIC regarding the same issue.
"7 days ago I've sent an email to CIC asking them if I can apply to EE or not as I have applied to FSW 2014, but didn't hear anything from them about my application and don't know my UCI."

The response from CIC was such

"Until we have confirmed that you have an application in process, please answer "No" to this question."

Hello,
I ask for your help in my case:
I have a degree in architecture in Portugal, but I'm also an Construction Estimator, so:
1 - I want to start the Express Entry with Federal Skilled Trades Program, NOC 2234 (B), it is possible? I have over 10 years of experience.
2 - I should obtain Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) report from an agency approved by CIC, about my architecture degree? If so, where can I do it?
The information already placed here is very helpful, but I'm still confused. By the way, I intended to later take my family, I have to do anything?
I am very grateful for the help they can give.
