Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[mr.preetsingh]

Hey guys, just got my passport mailed with the visa. Just a quick question tho, now that I have it, is that the only document I need to bring when traveling to Canada? Or is there another document I need to bring? Like for instance my proof of funds? Thanks!

I came in 2018 and I brought following
1. Passport (Of course)
2. COPR document
3. Funds Balance Certificate
4. Address where I am going to, for PR card Delivery

They never asked for Funds, but asked for the rest.

Till today, I heard two of my knowns who were asked about funds. I dont know if they are asking these days.

Dear members, could you please take a look at my case? I'm super confused!

1) Currently I do have 2 years and 10 months of work exp. Can I submit my application now, and claim that I have 3 years of work exp.? What I'm thinking is, even if I get an ITA around October-November 2022, I'll have my 3 years anniversary on November 1st, 2022. Or do I need to wait till November 1st to actually meet this criteria?

2) I know that the system calculates work experience from month/01st to month/31st. My CV:

• Company X: 23 Sept, 2019 - 29 Oct, 2021 (2 years and 1 month) --> Question: what's my start date? Is it September or October? Technically I started in September but if I choose "September" the system will think I was working from the beginning of the month. According to this logic, October seems more like the truth? (???)
• Company Y: 01 Nov, 2021 - present (10 months so far) --> Question: I'm planning to submit my profile on 01 Nov, 2022 to meet the "3 years work exp." criteria, so I write it as: 01 Nov, 2021 - till Oct, 2022 or Nov, 2022?

Am I overthinking everything? Lol

1. The best is to create and submit the application.

Hi Friends,
My CRS score is around 450. Is there any chance and should I consider applying for Express entry?

What score are they inviting currently?

Hi Sir,

I have my work experience in India for 2 years but the company did not provide us the offer of employment copy as are hired after the internship with them. Now when I mailed them they say according to the revised company policy they cannot provide roles and responsibility documents. I now have my reliving/experience letter and payslips as proof.
Please suggest what I can do with this scenario. Do any other documents support this info for the Employee record documents with them? I worked for 2 years which helped me in reaching the points that I have now.

I tried contacting ircc through phone and web form but haven't got any response.

Regards,
Neha

Hello, please I need clarification on something. I was working full time during my final year January 2019 and I graduated same 2019 from school. In addition, I was being paid in full and I have worked there for extra 3 years. Can my 2019 work experience be added to my 3 years work experience after school?

If skilled, yes.

Thanks so much for your feedback
I was a researcher for a company is that considered as a skill?

Assume this is studying outside Canada. You have to figure out your own NOCs using the database. NOC A, B or 0. If you have 3 years of experience for the other jobs, you would know the NOCs for those jobs too.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm having a question regarding my work experience. I got a full-time NOC B job and worked from Oct 2020 to July 2021 (I got laid off after July 2021), I recently started a new full-time job (same title, same field) in March 2022 and have been working since. So do I need to wait until next year March to start my Express Entry profile or can I start now? What document(s) do I need from my old job? I had an employment letter while I was there with my ROE, pay stub, and T4. Thank you in advance.

Assume this is Canadian experience so if you have one year of Canadian Experience, and have ECA (if required) and IELTS then yes.

Yes this is Canadian experience. So my work experience can be combined from two jobs and doesn’t have to be continuous? Thank you for your reply.

Yes, you can combine Canadian experience and it doesn’t need to be continious.

Thank you so much! I have another question about my education history, I studied for 2 yrs in Singapore and essentially the academic credits I earned from that institution were transferred towards an university in the States so I only needed to spend another 2 years in the States to get my full bachelor degree. In the ECA report for the degree I got from the States it said that my degree is an equivalent of a 4-yr program in Canada. Given that I studied in the states for 2 yrs, how many years should i put on the complete/full academic years field when I start my EE profile? should it be 2 or 4? sorry if it sounds confusing.

EDIT: So I suppose I'll need to put 2 yrs for the time I studied in Singapore and 2 yrs in the States? Then when I have to submit documents I could attach both transcripts with a letter of explanation clarifying that the academic credits from Singapore were transferred to the States hence there's only one ECA report done for the degree earned in the States?
