You can get the letter and also explain it in LoE. However, this is self explanatory.
Many Thanks! just one more question, do I along family members need medical exam for PR as CEC-inland? though we it wasn't required at first for WP application, that we did from Italy (because we hadn't been resident for 6 months during last 10 yrs in designated countries), which still is true...

Waiting for a reply....Dear Legal Falcon....U were online rt now...
I cannot answer your question in abstract. Also if the anslyst is unable to verify your job duties or the job duties don't match the job duties in your work reference, the review required will be there.

The officer will make a final determination.

Hello legalfalcon

I submitted my e-apr on sept 28th and i received an email which stated "confirmation of online transmission" and i assumed that it is AOR confirmaiton email but today after 20 days i received an email which states "Acknowledgement of receipt - application for permanent residence" can you please help me and let me know if this is normal? The date in the email shows that it was submitted on sept 28th but still I am worried that if it has to do something with my previous issue where I was not able to continue or submit e-APR due to technical issue which got resolved after like 30 days. Can you please suggest if I need to do something or call CIC?

Thanks @legalfalcon very much!

Appreciate your time and help! I have couple more doubts. Please clarify when you find time.

1) Can we use the personal history dates multiple times?
For example, i worked in CPT full time for 4 months while i was studying full time in a university in USA. This qualifies for both education and employment activity.
So let us say for the 4 months if i choose education activity item, can i repeat the dates again and mention employment activity for the same period?

2) My US H-1B job was for a IT consulting company. So for many months, i was run pay slips at the employer location (Michigan) and not at my actual client location (New jersey) where i actually worked. I want to mention accurately in my application and this job is not part of my work history and i am not claiming any points too. I only have to mention in personal history section. I want to make sure address and personal history are in sync. Can i mention accurate address (New Jersey) in personal history for the same employer even though i have tax returns run from the employer location (Michigan)?

Thanks a lot!

1) In the immediate family particulars, i have an issue with filling my mother's given name. My passport does not have my mother's complete first name. My mother's passport first name is bit lengthy.
What are my options now? Should i enter the first name as per my mother's passport and attach her passport bio page in LOE and mention that it is different to my passport etc? Or Should i just mention my mother's first name as per my passport and ignore the lengthy first name on her passport? Will it be a problem if i choose the second option?

Note : I don't have time to change my passport, as for this request in India, they will provide a new passport.

Enter the actual name. Then in the LoE, explain it and also include the same name affidavit signed by your mother. Along with the LoE and affidavit also include her passport. This is important because later if your parents decide to apply for a visa to Canada, then their name has ti be correctly entered in your application.

2) My ECA from WES included my bachelors and Master's degrees. But,i have some incomplete degree education in multiple universities. I don't want to include any transcripts. So just like work history section, where we include only the jobs we want to claim points and rest of them we include in personal history,Is it the same for education history as well? Like can we include only degrees for which we have done our assessment through WES in education history and rest of the incomplete education can be mentioned in personal history? Or should i mention my incomplete education degree in education history as well?

Yes, you can leave out any education for which you do not have ECA. However, you will need to mention it in the personal history. if it was within last 10 years.

3) This question is regarding travel history. I am from India, and the only country i travelled multiple times was USA. So the travel history should be filled with only international trips from home country to other countries, or do we need to enter trips within different cities in India and US as well? The travel time from India to USA and vice versa is around a day. So should i enter the date stamp i got in India while exiting and entering India from USA or should i enter the date stamp while exiting India and exiting USA? There will be a difference of a day etc, so i am confused here. Please help me.

For example, one of my international trip would be:

Dec 18th 2006 to August 17th 2011 (This date stamp is exiting from India and entering in India)
However, another way would be Dec 18th 2006 to August 15th 2011 (This date stamp is exiting from India and exiting from USA)

Which one should i enter?

You only need to mention trips outside your country of residence, no need to mention trips within cities. You can use either the arrival or departure date and keep it consistent. Also, IRCC only requires month and year.

4) My current Indian passport is obtained in 2016, and only that passport details are mentioned in ID Documents summary. Do i need to mention my old expired passport details as well in ID documents section, because it has my visa stamps and entry/exit details or it is not required? Can i just mention in passport placeholder section and attach old expired passport bio, visa stamps and entry/exit pages along with all pages of my current passport?

In your application you will only mention your current valid passport details. However, when you upload your passport, you will upload your current (all pages) and your old passport if it has any valid visas and stamps (all pages.)

5) In the work history, i have included one job which was a full time employment for 4 months, while i was studying at a university in USA under CPT. Is it okay since the job(full time while studying) is outside of Canada? Should i remove the job? I do have my employer letter, all payslips and tax returns.

To be eligible to apply you need at least 1 year of full time work experience in the NOC you have selected. For additional work experience, you can add jobs and they can be in different NOCs. Not sure how you are only showing 1 job of 4 months. You can use any job done outside Canada along with your education, as long as it was paid and you will need a work reference letter for it.

6) How do we ensure, personal, travel, address and education history are in sync? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Your personal history will have all details, work + education + travel. There should be no gaps. The end date of your person history of one item should be the start date of the immediately preceding event.

7) Regarding statutory questions, once i had my F-1 student reinstatement petition denied in US, and another time i was refused visa at a us consulate. So i am answering yes for both questions and mentioning the below answers. Will the below answers suffice or should i explain in detail like in LOE?

My F-1 student reinstatement petition was denied by USCIS on July 16th 2011 and i voluntarily left USA on August 15th 2011 to my home country (India).

My F-1 Student visa was refused on September 7th 2011 at US consulate in Hyderabad, India.

No need for a LoE, you can just explain it in the form.

This is not normal. The AoR is usually sent immediately, or within a 24-48 hours after transmission of the application. You can go in your account and see your application and see the documents that have been transmitted. I assume it was just a glitch in the system that delayed your AoR

Hi, @legalfalcon
I applied for express entry in CEC two month ago. Because I applied from quebec so I included the the letter of "intent to live out of quebec" in the LOE. Could you tell me when should I expect ircc will question about my intention, and should I call them to check the status now? There is no updates after the Mep, and it is ip2 after the Mep. Thank you so much.

If you have the AoR with the date, no need to worry. However, you can definitely report this to IRCC.

Did you have a nomination from Quebec? If not then you will get a procedural fairness letter during eligibility.

Hi @legalfalcon

Please does US and Canada share work history, personal history and travel history?

Please what do they share in there info-sharing?
US, Canada, NZ, UK and Australia are info sharing countries. They share pretty much everything and can request info on any person under their jurisdiction.

Thank you Legalfalcon. Here is what it states

"This letter confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada was received by Immigration,

Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through your account on September 28th."


This is the date when I submitted my e-apr. How should I let IRCC know about this issue. is it through CSE form?
