Post ITA question after 13th draw regarding uploading documents

[EMJ]

Your passport and spouse's passport would work if that includes your name already. Else take any other proof of marriage which you submitted to CIC.

Many Thanks Asivad! Much appreciated.

I find it surprising that CIC does not include the details of your spouse/dependent on the ITA form. When I spoke to the concerned person at the Medical center regarding this, she mentioned something about an 'Appendix C' form and that I should carry this to prove that my wife is also part of the Express entry application. I have never heard of this one before!

I have the following questions:

1. In terms of my work experience, I have worked for 2 different companies (one after one) for 2 yr and 10 months. In each company, I had different positions cuz I got promoted . However, the EE system requires each job title has a separate file of reference letter and pay stubs. I have all evidence. But I wonder, can I asked my boss to just do ONE reference letter where mentions all positions I did for the company, including duties, pay, and hours. Cuz asking my boss to write 2 or 3 letters for each position I did at his company sounds kinda stupid. I can just upload the same reference letter for different job titles but at the same company. Correct?

2. The first company I worked at went into bankruptcy. I was unlucky. However, I kept all my pay stubs (which show salary and hours), T4&Notice of Assessment, and work contracts. Moreover, I got in touch with one of my immediate supervisor back then, who works at another company now, for a reference letter of my previous job experience. With all these evidence:

- a reference letter from a previous supervisor (who is not longer with the company and he threw away all his previous business cards)
- T4 & Notice of Assessment
- all pay stubs which shows hours and pay
- Record of Employment (ROE)
- Job contract

Are these sufficient to prove my case? Any thoughts and advise please?

Unfortunately, that is only for people with LMIA supported job offers. CEC class applicants can try sneaking in through this as well but for that to happen, you'd have to declare POF as 0 in your MyCIC profile.

Hi friends,

I have a query regarding medicals.Is it ok to do medicals except X-ray in Canada and complete X-ray from my home country. I got ITA in CEC class and in process of completing my application.

Thanks

I don't imagine that you can split your medicals across multiple clinics.

If anything in your profile isn't helping you gain CRS points and/or program eligibility, you can remove it pre or post ITA. You won't be asked for relevant documentation after you remove these items.

CIC insists on full disclosure in personal history, marital status, family information etc and not on education history and work history.

Hi Asivad- I'm removing some items post ITA from my profile education/employment related to spouse that don't fetch any points and are redundant (of course fully disclosed on personal history). I just saw your statement that CIC does not require full disclosure on education and work history. Is there any link to this on CIC website referring to this fact? I am just curious that in the future if I get into any issues at least I have something to point back to.

Thanks.

Thanks Asivad! Much appreciated.

X-ray will be deferred due to pregnancy and we are traveling to home country in couple of weeks.

Whether i should defer the entire medical process for my spouse ? Can i complete the medical process after baby is born.

Hello Asivad!

For my passport, will only my biodata page suffice; or do I have to scan the pages which contains arrival/departure stamps as well?

It isn't explicitly mentioned anywhere on the CIC site but it can be derived from known information.

CIC explicitly insists on 'no gaps' only in Personal history and nowhere else in the application. CIC doesn't ask for foreign education credentials if one shows evidence of Canadian educational qualification. CIC doesn't ask for full disclosure on personal financials.

When you look at these together, it is clear that CIC is concerned with,

1. Program eligibility and the related documentation

2. CRS score and the related documentation

3. Medicals, travel history and criminal history verification

All other details of your life are strictly optional - you will neither be rewarded for disclosing them nor penalized for keeping them to yourself.

Hello Asivad!

The stamps might be required to support travel history. On the passport placeholder, CIC just asks for the bio data pages.

1. what is the next step?

You will get an automated confirmation of online transmission and confirmation of submission (eAPR).

2. will I get a confirmation number.. If Yes - what is it ?

No separate confirmation number. Your EE reference number is your Primary Key throughout the process.

3. I am working in a ICT , Closed WP... with my employer name in it and with city mentioned in the WP... I would like to get a open WP..
when can I apply for open WP ?

If I have understood your question properly, I imagine this will be after your PPR which essentially allows you to live and work anywhere in Canada.

4. what is the overall timeperiod to know our EE profile is approved and we are sure to get the PR?

Depends on a whole lot of factors and these are early days so fairly low predictability so far. CIC promises 80% application will be processed in 6 months or less. The fastest someone got their PPR was 1 month (reported in Jamaican newspapers and not this forum) and the slowest on the forum so far involves a few members who have been waiting since mid Feb or so.

I am in Canada now and will be leaving to my home country for more than 6 months...

when I need to submit the PP for stamping?
when to do the landing ? we CIC send some document for landing?

When CIC sends you the PPR - the final stage of the process - no one knows how long this would take. Landing can be done anytime after they return the passport to you along with COPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence) but before your Medicals expire.

Thanks

The stamps might be required to support travel history. On the passport placeholder, CIC just asks for the bio data pages.

In our case (CEC), it asked for all pages with stamps, visas, etc. Not just the biodata page.

Hello Asivad,

Greetings!!

I recently got my ITA & looking for your help on the below queries for post ITA docs upload.

1. While filling post ITA forms, I mentioned my spouse's education details, but did not have the ECA and mentioned NO there. But still the checklist asks for her proof of education documents. So will it be an issue if I upload her degrees without ECA? Though I do not get any points for her education in my CRS and my EE profile points grid shows below for the same:

CRS - Spouse - Level of Education 0

Also, would it be fine if I remove her education details and put them under Personal history section? I hope it should not cause any issue with my application.

Please suggest which way is best.

2. I excluded her part-time work from the application which she has been doing in US and did not mention in the Work experience section. Should I include it in her Personal history section OR mark it as Unemployed in this section? I am also not getting any points for her India experience as well.

CRS - Spouse - Canadian Work Experience 0

3. My brother is a Canadian citizen and I can get his passport, citizenship documents, house registry to prove his status. But I am unable to get his bank statements, utility bills etc. for last 6 months to prove he is still living there. Will it cause any problem with my application if I only submit his passport, citizenship docs and exclude the other documents?

Just for your info, my FSW points are 79/100 without 5 adaptability points having my brother there in Canada. I am not looking for his support, but since the application forms asks to fill in the details of your immediate family members, so I have to fill in his details and the checklist now asks for his documents.

Please help me in clarifying my queries.
