Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[TanakaM]

Hello everyone.
I employed the services of an immigration expert that assisted me with my EE profile and many other things. I was just informed by the firm that i have been given an ITA on 5th May and needed to sign a new contract to complete my application for PR. I decided to pursue this on my own because of cost. So, i know next to nothing on this processes and how it works. I have been reading post here but need someone to give me a step-by step info on how i should proceed. The firm has refused to give me any information on my previous profile, they just ask me to open an account and continue my processing. I fervently need help and guidance from you guys pls.

Hi and welcome,

For information you need after getting an ITA I recommend you read this post and thread by Stanlee:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/ready-reference-steps-to-follow-and-documents-to-arrange-post-ita.455826/
It's very informative and will get you going. Then if you have specific question we are all ready to help as we have gone or are going through the same process.

"The firm has refused to give me any information on my previous profile, they just ask me to open an account and continue my processing."

You will need access to your profile for you to proceed. It is impossible to just create a new one as the stages are linked.

Regards

Hi,

A small query, I have submitted my docs and have received the EAOR on 1st of April. The quests I'm the secondary applicant and my wife is the primary applicant. My passport expires on march 2018, so if I receive the stamping on my passport submitted to CIC and then get my passport renewed will there be any travel issue with my visa stamp on my old passport and ticket booking on my new passport.

Hi,

My understanding is that once you land in Canada and get your PR the visa you have is no longer relevant/valid. You will now be using your PR card and passport to travel. If you renew before this you will need to update IRCC through a CSE.

Hi,

Thanks, the question is if I get the request to submit my application by say June or July, the place I'm working has a three months notice to serve if I decide to leave them, also winding up thInfs in my home country will take around a month so it will be like October. When I will be fully ready to move to Canada. And my passport will be expiring on march 2018...so I will only have three months that my passport will be valid for ( that too if everything goes as I'm thinking) so when I plan to travel should I get my passport renewed as it will get expire in 2-3 months...so if I get the visa stamp done on my old passport and then get it renewed then also do I. Red to tell IRCC about my cub age in passport.

I don't understand the last part of you question.
However, if you get a new passport after PPR you can still update IRCC and carry both passports with you to Canada.

The last draw was on the 4th of May. You may want to find out if you received a letter of interest from Ontario or if it's truly an ITA.
Whatever the situation is, you need access to your account. You can't create another one when you already have an active profile.

Hello all,
I applied for EE today and received CRS of 462, will I qualify for ITA? My PGWP expires next month and need to apply for an extension and my only hope seems to be EE. Please feel free to add your thoughts and comments.

How is work experience calculated? Is it that they only start counting after your results are declared? For eg. I started working in June 15, but my results were declared in the month of September. So will the count from June 15- June 17 i.e 2 years or Sept 15- June 17 i.e 1 year 9 months, as I'll be losing out on my points. Kindly help.

Hi Seniors,
Need help with a query.
I have overall full time foreign experience since March 2012 and applied for express entry last month. I received my ITA in the beginning of this month, however while creating the profile I mentioned my start date in my first job as Feb 2012 instead of March 2012. Can I make the change in the form post the ITA or should I decline and wait for a fresh ITA.

Please guide on this.

Regards,
K

Hi,
If it is international experience then you can count from when you started, as experience gained while studying is acceptable.

Dude an ITA is like gold , you don't just decline it.lol

This is a very very very minor issue. So correct it and write one or two lines in you LOE.

All the best
