Express Entry Questions

[bskap]

Hi.
I have applied for express entry and I have some doubts:

1. I graduated in Dec 19, 2014 and so my experience will start from Dec 19, 2014. I received my Post Graduation Work permit in feb 2015. So, my experience will be start from Dec or Feb?

2. There is question, which says Date I first became qualified to practice in this occupation? So, my NOC is 2174 and It says Bachelors degree in computer science. And, I did bachelors from India in 2011 June, So, I became qualified in 2011? I completed my masters in Dec 2014.

3. There is another question says, do i have a Job offer in Canada? I have open work permit and I am working as a software developer in a company from last 1 year. But, its not LMIA supported? Shall I say no or Yes in that question?

4. When I have to show money in my bank account and can I take money from family or friends?

Thanks in advance

Your experience will start from the day you started working full time.

2. There is question, which says Date I first became qualified to practice in this occupation? So, my NOC is 2174 and It says Bachelors degree in computer science. And, I did bachelors from India in 2011 June, So, I became qualified in 2011? I completed my masters in Dec 2014.

Ideally, it should be 2014 unless you are showing experience prior to your Masters.

3. There is another question says, do i have a Job offer in Canada? I have open work permit and I am working as a software developer in a company from last 1 year. But, its not LMIA supported? Shall I say no or Yes in that question?

The answer should be "No"

4. When I have to show money in my bank account and can I take money from family or friends?

You may be able to show that you inherited it. However, its better to have as much as "owned" funds as possible. Also, you need to maintain this sum in your account for a prolonged period (at least 6-8 months).

Thanks in advance

One more thing. I applied for Express Entry before (my profile was ineligible) and they asked for File Number, I put their the application number E000***** something, is this right?

You don't need to do that. Answer 'Yes' to the question 'Have you applied to CIC before' and provide your UCI.

 

[bskap]

I put in Yes in that. I am asking for Express entry. Shall I put Yes or no?

Answer No. Creating an ineligible profile isn't the same as applying under EE.

i have a comment regarding this. My friend got his application denied because he mentioned his experience for the date he gave his last semester exam. VISA officer said that your actual experience starts from the date mentioned on your diploma (not transcripts). Usually diploma is awarded a month or so later in convocation.

My profile will expire on Jan-12-2016, so what and when I have to do to re-create?

Many thanks!

Just to be safe I would recommend to start your one year experience from the date that is written on the diploma/degree that is given in the convocation. Cic asks for a scan copy of the diploma too.

Ok. Thanks Andy.

I called today CIC, he said when you start working in Canada i.e. 19 Dec 2014. In my degree date is Feb, 2015.

I already created my profile and put date Dec 19, 2014. So, shall I change the date?

My points will be decreased and I have to wait until Feb 1 2016.

But, I think he was not sure.

Thanks

Dear all,
I am an inland applicant understand Express Entry with Provincial Nomination Program. I have some issue and look for your advices
Proof of medical exam
I submitted my application on 22 December. However, I am going to have medical check on 6th January. I did submit the appointment schedule of medical check. My question is how/where can I submit IMM 1017B form?
Proof of Means of Financial Support
I did submitted Financial Form to proofs that I and my husband have a GIC investment at RBC bank. The SNIP program accept this letter. In fact, this investment may be stronger than a saving account. However, CIC requires more information. We think that we will submit “the Proof of Means of Financial Support” again. My question is how/where can I submit the form?
Thank you very much,

UCI number is for whom??

Even if you delete old profile before any PT or ITA, still we hVe to say 'yes' applied before in cic? Pls advise asivad.

 

[bskap]

UCI is a unique 8 digit number, if you have study or work permit of Canada. It will be on study or work permit.

Yes, you can mention yes, if you received confirmation from CIC that your application is received by CIC.
