Dear Legalfalcon,

I have a query, while creating the Pre ITA profile I mentioned 2 NOC Codes:
2173 - 26 months 2011-2013
2171 - 18 Months - 2015-2017 (In between I was studying)

However, I have mentioned my Primary NOC Code as 2171 (just 18 months).

During POST ITA application do you think it is beneficial if I change my Primary NOC code to 2173 to ensure I meet FSW criteria and mention that in my LOE? 2173 would put me in a better position for my FSW points.

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
It will not matter. You have to meet the CRS and the MEC. To know what they are, read my post here - https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

Read eligibility.

To know about how FSW is met - see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Make your decision based on this.

hello legal falcon, my pof was over 5000CAD ON sunday night and when i wanted to submit two days ago and checked it was just over 1000 over the required sum for fam of 4. i keep checking and it keeps fluctuating, three to four rates in one day. i am now confused as to what to do
If you have submitted your application, your application is locked no need to worry. If you are yet to submit, your need to make sure that on the say you submit, you are above the limit.

Hi @legalfalcon and all, Pls help!

I just read a post on forum saying that work experience while being a full time student isn't counted. It is shaking my head. As I graduated from a country out of Canada. I had my full time job in 9/2012 while graduation date was 11/2012. TheRe is a overlap between my study and work. Would my experience for that job be counted? If not, if the experience from 12/2012 till the date I quit that job count?

Thanks a lot.
If your work expiring is out of Canada while you were a student, you can count that towards work experience.

Thanks

Yes, you will need to mention those travel details. They will be in your travel and personal history.

Dear @legalfalcon
Regarding eligibility for work experience under FSW as CiC states "Your work experience must have been full-time (or the equivalent in part-time hours), worked continuously and paid, for at least one year in the same occupation", pls help to judge my case.
I have 3 jobs in same NOC which I claimed points
1st job: full time, lasts for 7months
2nd job: full time, lasts for 13 months
3rd job: current job

So my first job didn't last for 1 year continuously but my 2nd did. Is it eligible? Thanks so so much!
Yes, you can use any one of them.

To access correctly you need to meet the FSW criteria and also the CRS.

What they are, read my post here - especially the eligibility - https://www.getgcms.com/blog/express-entry-application-processed/

the CRS is the over all score and you have to maintain it when you get the ITA the MEC is the FSW score which you have to meet if you are applying under FSW - for FSW see - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Thank you LegalFalcon.
I've got one more question. When, in your opinion would be a right time to get GCMS notes? If I for eg request it today( it does take 30-40 days i think)..so when I receive the notes, will it be updated for those 30 days after my request?
I havent had any updates to my application yet. When would be the optimum time to request for it ?

The best time to order 45-50 days post submission. Then based on what you get, you can order more to see the progress.

When you request GCMs notes, it takes 30 days for them to generate. They are usually generated 1-2 weeks before they are released.

Eg. if you order them on 1 august, they will be delivered on August 30. They will pertain to you application and capture the details around August 15-20.

Hi legalfalcon,
Please refer to my time line below:
FSW: india
AOR: July 09
Medical : July 21
NA2: July 26
RPRF demand August 03
RPRF paid : August 04
IP2: immediately after paying RPRF

My passport has an expiry date of March 16, 2018
My status now says "no additional documents required"

Will cic ask me for passport renewal or should I renew on my own.
When is the right time to do it.
1. Suppose I apply for passport renewal now and get an intimation for passport submission for stamping in between, how to intimate cic about passport renewal.

2. Suppose get the visa stamped on current passport and later renew the passport, will I be eligible to travel to canada till the end of visa expiry ( which ideally should be valid till March 2018 as current passport validity is till then)?
I heard some countries don't allow you to Travel if your passport is less than 6 months valid!

It is your responsibility to ensure that your passport is valid. You ghouls get your PP renewed and upload the new passport via CSE. In case you get a PPR while your passport is being processed, you can inform IRCC and they will give you an extension, no need to worry.

2. Suppose get the visa stamped on current passport and later renew the passport, will I be eligible to travel to canada till the end of visa expiry ( which ideally should be valid till March 2018 as current passport validity is till then)?
YEs, all the valid visas even in old passport remain valid.

I heard some countries don't allow you to Travel if your passport is less than 6 months valid!
Yes, you have to make sure that when you submit your passport it is valid for more than 6 months.

If your dependents are not accompanying you will have to answer "NO." However, you will still need to submit their PCC, and medicals. This is because if any of your family member is inadmissible because of criminality or medical, you will be inadmissible too. This is done so that you can later sponsor them.

PCC is not required for children below 10. right?

Hi Legalfalcon,
Sincere Apologies for mistake in misspelling your name.

Continuation to my thread - In Denmark on WP from Oct 2008 till Feb 2010 and multiple visit to india for short duration, I want to add that it will be really tough to find those details exactly accurate as i lost the passport in between. I just made one entry stating i was in Denmark from this date to this date and In personal activity also.
But as you mentioned, i need to break it up due to multiple trips between India and Denmark, is it ok if the dates are here and there or if i miss any trip ?

Thanks..
