I am on post-grad work permit while my spouse is on spousal OWP. I have applied for PR as CEC-PNP. Doc marked us as EDE-Family and our medicals are showing passed in mycic account. Also in ECAS it is showing medical results have been received.

Sounds great. The point is that having seen the opposite, i won't take a chance on that. The term "visitor" vs worker or family isn't that big an issue, since they know details of your current status any way. but EDE vs Non EDE is important from medical classification.yellowknifer said:
May be in your case, the doctor was comprehensive (like mine) and they uploaded a copy of AOR along with rest of medicals, which made very clear it was medicals for PR.
I don't know how she did the reports but I told her that I want our medicals for immigration under the new EE system. She said she knows which category to select and I am glad it worked for me as a Family EDE and its now almost a month my medicals are passed by CIC.fkl said:
Hello Everyone,
Please I need advice on what to do. My application was cancelled on Nov 12 for missing PCC and letter of explanation not showing I had requested for it. I immediately called the consulate or high commission of my home country who was processing the PCC for me and based here in Canada. They confirmed receiving the police clearance from Nigeria and it was just awaiting them to certify also (their own attestation). After much plea, I was sent an electronic copy of the PCC on Nov 12 and then sent CSE on Nov 12 with the document and explanation. The consulate will certify the PCC today and send it to me both electronic as well as by mail. My score is 488 right now, is it advisable to just go ahead and create another Express Entry profile.
My timeline is as follows
Invitation to apply for ITA: SEP 8
ITA submitted: NOV 6
AOR & Review in progress: NOV 6
Cancelled as incomplete: NOV 12
CSE with PCC: NOV 12
Which means my process would have been very fast if not for the PCC.

^^ Sorry to hear about that..
Firstly, it is not necessary that it would have been processed very fast.. they check for completeness first. So just the fact that they did not find the PCC or LOE means it was rejected without even looking further.... this is usually the first step they do.
Unfortunately, it seems that because it was your fault, I do not think they may reopen the CSE...
If you want to create a new EE profile, I suggest you do so iMMEDIATELY, as people are expecting a draw within a couple of hours... I would send the CSE as well as create a new profile... and then see how it goes from there...
Goodluck!

Sorry Im going to be a lil harsh here,Godsdaughter said:
Nigerias PCC is one of the easiest to get so you will most likely not get your CSE granted.
There is a website and email on how to get PCC (http://www.nigeriacrb.com/apply_now.htm and you would normally get it in about 10 working days which is well within your 60 days post ITA. There is also an info on CIC website on how to get one.
If your application was to be processed in Ottawa, it wouldnt have been fast as you think because that is usually the first thing that is checked after medicals I think.
My point- it was your fault, so create a new profile as quick as NOW, in case there is a draw tonight. You have all your documents so you should be able to submit another application next week it there was a draw tonight.
I didn't even know I required a PCC for EE until I found it on my checklist.Ibyt said:
Even at that, I am surprised my letter of explanation didn't suffice.
Because I provided a covering letter and even informed them I was going to upload it in two weeks time upon receipt.
Anyhoo, what has happened has happened. I am filling out my EE again right now.
Thanks for your reply.
Thank you all for your comments. I sincerely appreciate it.
Please I have just submitted a new one application and it hasn't generated a new application number for me yet.
Thanks.

Your LOE cant suffice because it clearly says on CICs website that you need to get a PCC for every country you have lived for 6 months after 18.Godsdaughter said:
If your documents are not complete after eApr, then you will be held responsible for it, only people who have applied for USA FBI PCC are exempted because applying for that takes more than 3 months and 60 days post ITA would have elapsed.
Btw, I hope you got an ITA because a draw just happened.
No I didn't receive an invitation.Ibyt said:
The system is taking so long to process itself.
For the job bank, do I need to deactivate and create it again? I only updated my express entry information on my old job bank perhaps that's why there is a delay?
Also, I will send you an email with the PCC from the high commission. I don't mind doing a new one by getting it direcly from home because I don't want to go through this again.
I think I remember something about having to create a new Job Bank account for a new EE account. You better check that at the CIC website.
Oh dear! You narrowly missed the draw! You should have started a fresh profile, the old job bank is why you didnt get a ref number. Its late now so focus on the next draw. Hopefully it happens soon enough for you.Godsdaughter said:
Your PCC should be a reddish paper with your passport photo attached and the copy of the finger print page(s) you applied with, all signed and stamped by the officer that treated your application.
That's fine.Ibyt said:
I did create a new one with a new job bank, with the status below:
Express Entry Profile Effective Date 14-November-2015
Express Entry Client Expiry Date 14-November-2016
Job Bank Registration Pending
I have been on this all day and I am calling it a night.
I will just ensure I have my PPC ready for whenever I make the draw again.
Thanks.
