Have a similar situations regarding relatives in Canada - hope someone can help to clarify. :) :)

I am applying under CEC.
I do have an aunt in Canada but it is too much trouble to prove it with documents (she is at the other side of the country). The fact that I have an aunt does not award any points. I answered 'NO' in EE pool profile and intend to put 'NO' in PR application.
I remembered the only time I left record of having an aunt was when I applied for US visitor visa.

I see Raj answered a previous question that it is not misrepresentation to put 'NO' even in fact it is 'YES'.
Just wondering if someone could elaborate a little on why IRCC does not consider this misrepresentation?
(Maybe they can't care less about a non-immediate family member since no point is awarded??)
OR any personal experience??

Much appreciated! :D
The only reason you have to mention your relatives in Canada is if you want points towards the FSW points grid (towards the 67/100 requirement). There is no other use in disclosing these relatives in your e-APR. This is not misrepresentation. This can be compared to answering "No" to the question "Does XX have work experience" for a dependent on application <<Work experience gained outside of Canada doesn't award any points/doesn't affect eligibility so answering NO to that question is perfectly fine>>.

What is NOT considered as misrepresentation -

1) The two cases explained above.
2) Entering only the work experience that gives you points in the work history section and leaving the rest in the personal history section.

What is considered Misrepresentation -

1) You have a distant relative there and you forge documents (BC etc) to prove that he is your parent's sibling for the sake of getting points.
2) You have a previous visa refusal and you do not declare it in the application.

If you do not remove the relative from the application, then you must submit documentation for them.

Hi,

I have a bachelors degree from India and Master of Science degree from US. I started my application in mid December of Express Entry and then realized I need to have WES evaluation done before I can complete my profile.

So I registered in WES website where I have provided both Bachelor degree details and Masters degree details and had universities send required documents to them by December 27th. Now I am reading bad reviews on WES, saying they take a long time to get them back.

My Question is, do we need both bachelors and masters ECA for Express entry? if Highest degree ECA is good enough, I am willing to approach a different organization to get my ECA done as I have 475 points and I dont want to wait more and loose my chances. What do you suggest? What is a way to get WES report earlier?
I do not see a way around. Their standard processing time is 20 working days from the date they receive your transcripts. And it did take that long to get mine done.

And yes, you need to send the transcripts for both your UG and PG.

You need your WES ECA as well as your IELTS scores (you need to provide the IELTS Test report number) before you can submit your EI (Expression of Interest) to enter the Express Entry pool.

Hi
I got to know that 3 years bachelors equivalent is assessed by WES for ACCA individually and 3 years bachelors equivalent for CA from Pakistan individually.
If someone has done both then will it increase equivalence study years or will it remain at 3 years

That's quite weird. Have you registered in the job bank and are you sure your profile is in the pool?

Best is to check your current status. Login to CIC portal, and go to .View my submitted applications. of profiles section. Click on the 'Check Status and Messages' button. Under the messages section see if you have one that says 'Welcome to Express Entry - <Month> <Date, Time>' or even you Application Status on the same page

You need to submit PCC from all those countries where you have lived for 6 months or more (at a stretch or cumulatively). However, for Canada you can submit your application without it. While the application is being processed, if CIC needs PCC for your stay in Canada they will request you to submit RCMP Clearance.

Hi,

When I tried to create a Express Entry profile, the option (Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years) is missing in Level of Education drop down menu. I wanted to choose the Level of Education for my Post Graduate Diploma course which I completed in Canada. For my Bachelors of Engineering I selected the option (Bachelor's degree OR a three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute). So please help me for my Post Graduate Diploma.
