Peace be upon you

A friend who knows more than me. this website. I have been connected to this website for the past 10 years. And he was tired of it. I sleep from midnight to 03:00 in the morning. And I'm confused. I sleep without success. without hope. I'm not giving up. I hope to live in Canada. I want to study in Canada. I want to work in Canada. This is the future I hope for. One day I will succeed, God willing

Hello people I have a question...

If I intend to apply for express entry but my spouse will not accompany me to Canada (when I get accepted iA), will I still be asked for the marriage certificate proving we are married?

Looking forward to your responses.

If you are married, even in not accompanying, you need to provide proof of marriage. Your spouse needs to undergo a medical too. Have you submitted a profile or you have received ITA?

Appreciate your response.
No I have not even created an express entry profile yet. I got my ECA done a few weeks ago and will do my IELTS next month, after that I will apply. Anyway, you mean even if my wife will not accompany me she has to do the physical exam? what's the rationale behind that?

No I have not even created an express entry pool yet. I got my ECA done a few weeks ago and will do my IELTS next month, after that I will apply. Anyway, you mean even if my wife will not accompany me she has to do the physical exam? what's the rationale behind that?
Yes. She has to still undergo medical/police checks and you show proof of funds for the number of people in your family. Even though accompanying, IRCC assumes that she will immigrate to Canada at some point.

What is your eligibility score? CRS?

I have applied for permanent residence. My spouse or partner and children are not coming with me. Do they need to get a medical exam? (cic.gc.ca)

Hello. Please what reasons are suitable for a non-accompanying spouse? I know IRCC will ask, and I’ve been married for 7 months but living together for 2 years and change.
Also I’ve seen that it’s okay to claim internship as work experience for FSW. I’ve collected reference letters and they listed intern in part of the job title. Although these only cover 7 months (3 months at one and 4 months at the other) will this be a problem? I have 2 years and 8 months at my current place of work, I needed the internships to max out 3 years of work experience for the 50 points

If outside Canada, you don’t need to provide a reason. IRCC knows it will most likely be to increase your score. You can count internships as long as paid, skilled and match a NOC.

The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

  • a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
    • should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
    • should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits

Thank you so much for your response. I had seen differing opinions on whether to avoid “internship” in the letters and that troubled me a bit. This is a relief to know, thanks once again

As long as a NOC A, B or 0 job, matches a NOC and employment letter inclues all the information I posted then should be okay.

Hi everyone, it is me again.

So where I live, in Kenya, getting police clearance certificate is almost impossible (if not actually impossible) for Somali citizens even if I am a PR of Kenya. I have tried literally everything and have been trying for months. For most other nationalities, you can easily get the PCC. How am I supposed to explain this to IRCC when I am invited to apply? It is not my fault the Kenya immigration authorities won't issue me a PCC based on my nationality.

Your score may increase if she completes ECA and IELTS depending on your score. Also may help you become elgible for EE if points under 67.
