Any Question on Express Entry---i will try to answer

Hi guys

I have been waiting for my ECA for more than 2 months now. actually I have applied for both WES and IQAS. hoping to get either one of them by the first week of May. if I do get it my CRS would be 449.

I know the cutoff points are going down quite rapidly. however, I'm just curios to know the possibility of CIC increasing the cutoff in May. what are the chances?

If the experts can give a calculated or assumptions based prediction would be great. thanks!!

With 449 CRS, you do not need to worry about getting an ITA.

Hi all,

I'm going to get a letter from my bank as a proof of fund but before that I need some clarifications:

1. Should the bank letter indicate the last 6 months' balance in detail for each month? or just the current balance?
current balance along with last 6 months averages
2. If not, should I attach all the bank statements of the last six months to my application?
if averages are not mentioned then get a stamped and signed statement
3. I am the primary applicant. I have a joint account with my wife and my wife has her own. Right now, our joint account does not enough money (we bought a car). We were thinking to show both accounts as a proof of fund but my wife's bank statement will show her name only. Do you think that will be OK?
you can show both accounts. Spouse's funds can be used for POF. Get a declaration from your wife that she allows you to utilize the funds for immigration purpose and she will be accompanying you upon receiving the COPR
4. I have a retirement fund (stock index fund) at Vanguard. There I have enough money. Can I show it as a proof of fund?
No idea about this. Check with someone who has shown this in past
Thank you

Hi Guys,

I have a query here. I have updated my EE profile with spouse ECA as 'Yes' Last week and got ITA yesterday Apr 19th.
I am anticipating my Spouse ECA by next week.
Since the PR application submission time is 90 days from today, I can update my spouse ECA details once received it.

Can anyone confirm, if the ECA issued date should be earlier than ITA date or PR submission date?
Will this be taken into account and any chance for rejection
I am in the confused state whether to accept or decline the ITA.

your suggestion is most welcome!!

decline the ITA this could lead to a rejection. ECA date in your application should match with the one mentioned in their report

Hi Mav,
Request you reply to the below question and help me out:

It's about PCC. I stayed for a year in the Netherlands. However, the following is copied from CIC website:

"How to Get a Police Certificate – The Netherlands
Do I need to provide a Police Certificate with my Application for Permanent Residence? No. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will send you a letter requesting a police certificate after you send your Application for Permanent Residence. You must provide that letter when you apply for a Police Certificate"

The link is : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/europe/netherlands.asp

My understanding of this in simple words is : I need not to get the PCC from Netherlands and upload it as part of application submission for PR. But submit them a self declaration saying - “I am applying from a country that requires an official request letter from IRCC to get a police certificate.”. In addition to that, I will submit my Indian PCC.
While evaluating my application, if the application is found to be complete on all aspects, then the visa officer will send me a letter asking for PCC from Netherlands. Then I will request the respective Municipality in the Netherlands to issue PCC sending the letter received from the visa officer.

Question: Is my above understanding of the process correct? Please confirm.

Thanks in advance
NRY

with the current trend, YES. but ill be getting my ECA only during the second or third week of May. so I'm wondering whether the cutoff would increase. given the fact that CIC is quit unpredictable I'm pretty worried

Hello all,
Do we have to move to Canada as soon as we get our Confirmation of Permanent Residence? Do they give some time to move?
Thanks

You have to land before your COPR expires. But your medicals should be valid too. If your medicals expire before that, you need to do it again.

Did you try the tool? http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

It looks eligible. Do you have an ECA? Also, you should think about giving IELTS again to improve your score.

Thank you, Maverick28. Do you know how much time do they give to land?

1. Is applying for LMIA based Work Permit OK while PR process is going on ?

2. Do I need to update IRCC / CIC about applying for WP ? Should I use CSE to provide WP applicataion related activity information or LMIA number ?

Would really appreciate help on this.
Thanks!

I have studied in Canada for two years. Do I need police report from Canada as well or does CIC only require the PCC from foreign countries ? Im not residing in Canada, currently.
