Hi Guys,

My wife is the primary applicant and she has her ECA and reference letter being done.
Also in joint account we have kept enough funds to be declared.

Quick question.

- As I do not have an ECA done, will I have to show proof of my education in the express entry profile?
- Am I required to mention my experience as it will not count for EE(as I am not the primary applicant and my experince is outside canada), will I require any proofs?
- Also as an initial plan, my wife will travel first and will be showing the proof of funds and using the same funds for settling down. Will I be able to show the same POF(which will now have a little lower funds) when I travel or I need to have the same amount to be in place?

Regards,
Sam

1. You don't need to have an ECA, just state that you have done bachelors/masters and upload docs after ITA.
2. Its upto you to mention your work exp even if you are not claiming any points. Remember, if you think not to show your work exp, mention it in your personal history.
3. you both need to show same amount which is for 2 persons. So, dont worry about that.

- As I do not have an ECA done, will I have to show proof of my education in the express entry profile? A: Above answer is wrong. Whether you need your ECA or not depends on if your spouse is able to maintain 67/100 on the FSW grid. If she can on her own, then you don't need IELTS or ECA, else she'll need them to enhance her overall CRS points.
- Am I required to mention my experience as it will not count for EE(as I am not the primary applicant and my experince is outside canada), will I require any proofs? A: Correct. No proofs for your work experience will be required but you'll need to mention them under your personal history instead of work history section.
- Also as an initial plan, my wife will travel first and will be showing the proof of funds and using the same funds for settling down. Will I be able to show the same POF(which will now have a little lower funds) when I travel or I need to have the same amount to be in place? A: One PoF for both of you is fine as long as it is above the LICO for a family of two.

Sam

Again I have my last question concerning POF, I found out my approximately account balance.

So on 18 October I have a 5.000 CAD deposit and it is the last bigger deposit, the rest from that date are much smaller.

If I ask a bank statement for example on 5 March, I will get a 6 month account balance, that's from October to March right? My start account balance in October will be 11.000 CAD (I had deposited money prior to October also). I am interested to know whether it will show that I deposited a big amount of money in October OR just the account balance? I dont know much about POF sorry for stupid questions.

I am planning when is best to get my account balance, maybe I should wait for April or May even so it doesn't show that I deposited a lot if that's the case.

Thanks.

Yes, you can delay getting your Bank statement if you can (i.e. have enough time) to avoid giving justification/gift deed for the large deposit into your account.

Thanks. I was more interested about the form of POF. Does it show deposits or just the account balance, meaning "the state of the account".

Can I ask the bank statement in the first days of April or I should wait the end of the month to count April in "the last 6 months requirement"? Is the date of the bank statement also important?
