Hi looking for answers from experienced people from this forum
A short recap of my application. I applied for Canadian pr under express entry and my application got refused recently. I am a teacher by profession and have one year of experience. Here by one year of experience I mean one academic year experience which is 10 months. Now this is the reason my application got denied stating there should be 12 months of experience.
My ielts score is as follows:
Reading:9
Listening:9
Speaking:8
Writing:7.5
I have got my credential evaluation done recently just before applying for the first time.
My spouse has also given ielts and got band 8. Since we reside in the US we got our fbi pcc in the month of February for both of us. We also got our Indian pcc last year during november. We gave our medical test in november too. I am rejoining work next month and will be gaining the 2 months experience I am lacking by July end in order to reapply. With my 12 months of work experience my crs score is 446. I suppose to get into the pool in august 2018 and wait for the invitation hoping to get it by september.
So here are my queries:
1) Will cic accept if I get a work reference letter from my employer immediately after I complete my 2 months or should I work for at least 6 months and then ask for work reference letter and and add it along with my previous 10 months experience to reapply?
2) How long is our medicals valid? We took it november 2017 and say I reapply in august again, will it be considered valid?
3) How long will Indian pcc be valid, we got that around the same time as our medical results.
4) Same question on validity with fbi pcc too, we got that in February 2018.
5) Do I have to apply with the same account I had already created where i got the refusal letter or should I go for a new one by creating a new gc key? If I have to stick with my old one how do I add thus new application?
6) My spouse's ielts will be expiring in October 2018. So if we reapply in September(just a positive thought that we will get an invitation by then) should my spouse retake the test?
7) Should I ditch all the fbi indian pccs medicals and get a new one and also ask my spouse to retake ielts?
8) Regarding proof of funds, my spouse and myself have a joint account and we have sufficient funds to apply. Until last year the account was in my spouse's name and my name was added to the account because we are applying for pr. Will that be a problem? We both have equal rights on the account.
Please help me with answers as I am so devastated that my application got refused. Looking for some positive hope which I am very badly in need of. Thanks a lot in advance.
P.S: My refusal letter doesn't say that I shouldn't apply again. It says if I wish to apply again I should try to increase my score by better ielts score or other credentials.
