Hi,
I have done ECA for my masters and mentioned that in my Express entry profile. I haven't mentioned anything about my bachelor's since I am not claiming any points for that. Is this ok?

It should be ok, I have a friend who did the same thing.

When it comes to PoF, there is a lot of views floating around the forum on what to do and what not to. So lets get to the bottom of this and start from the law that applies to PoF.

The PoF is not a requirement in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or the regulations. However, the ministerial instructions mandate that every applicant demonstrate that they have adequate funds to establish themselves in Canada. For this purpose they have made a minimum requirement which is revised periodically.

The IRCC requires applicants to disclose all their accounts, debts, loans, credit card etc. The bottom line is that IRCC wants to ensure that you have funds, and the funds you are demonstrating are not borrowed. Unless, you are in a partner country, IRCC has no means to find out your financial situation, however they can speculate from your education and salary. You need not disclose loans and debts, if they are not from the same financial institution where you have your bank account.

To sum it up:

1. If you have a credit card debt, which you pay every cycle, no need to disclose. If you are repaying a previous debt, and paying interest in it, you will need to disclose it.
2. Minor loans like a car loan, if not from the same back from which you are providing a PoF need not be disclosed. If they are from the same bank, you should.

The list can go on. The bottom line is that you should be on the verge of bankruptcy. Further, IRCC has no means to find your loans, especially from non partner countries (partner countries are US, UK, Australia and NZ). If the loans and debts are minor, it will be fine, big loans such as house loan should be disclosed.

However, always remember giving true information is you responsibility. Even after your application is approved, and you become a PR, your status can be struck off and you can be deported if IRCC finds that you lied and misrepresented.

Thank you. You are always a great help to all of us.

Honestly I am not mature. I am about 20 years old, except I have been about 20 for over 20 years ... too bad our ages are calculated based on date of birth rather than how old we act and feel ...

Hahaha.... good one exactly my thoughts, I feel the same way that m still a teenager pressured to act like a responsible Adult ( as your younger siblings follow you) poor me.

It's fine. I did the same thing and got the 135 points for my master's degree.

Thank you. I have been looking for the last 3 months. Many companies don't want to sponsor visas, because it is extra work and expense in showing that there is no Canadian available for the job and paying the visa fees. I have been able to get some preliminary interest by indicating on my resume that I am a US citizen who is relocating to Canada, but the interest often goes away after I disclose that I not only am outside Canada but also would need visa sponsorship. I am continuing my job search, but after finally being able to create my EE profile this past Monday and getting NOI from Ontario on Tuesday, I am focusing my efforts on gathering all documents for the OINP application.

Good luck! Everything will fall to its place!

Yep, I can totally see that happening.

Hahaha! You made my day!

That mean you didn't even mention your bachelors? or You just did ECA for your master degree ? Plz elaborate...

Nothing yet. Because I am under 400, I may have missed the window for the IT NOCs. But please send hope

Sorry, I listed my bachelor's in the EE system but did not select that I had an ECA for it. I got ECA only for my master's (in hopes of expediting the ECA process, which might have worked because I received my ECA only 13 days after I had created my order with WES) and selected in the EE system that I had an ECA and entered the ECA number.

I want to thank you profusely for your help and support while I was falling apart due to the disqualification. Are you a chocolate fan? I'm not a big drinker, so my first thought for a thank-you is chocolate.
