Guys! I had a few queries.

1. My current CRS is 478 and I have been in the pool since 27th July 2018. By when can I expect to have my profile selected in the draw? I am aware that the next draw will ideally be held on 8th August since last draw was a fortnight ago. Do I get any points after I get an ITA? I didn't find answer to this query anywhere!

2. What is the validity of PPC and medical examination report? Given that fact that one only has 60 days to respond to ITA with documents furnishing, can I apply for PCC and medical examination once I get an ITA?
1. You will get ITA in next draw
2. Get your medical appointment and obtain PCC.

Great! Thanks :) One more thing. I got married in March 2018 and I have also mentioned that I am married. However, I plan to come alone first and then sponsor my wife once I am in Canada. I have still not obtained our marriage certificate. Will that be a problem? I have not misrepresented anywhere. It's just that I do not have the marriage certificate as yet and we're in the process of it but it's taking time.

you need to arrange that first. Why have you not included spouse as 'accompanied?

Because we do not plan to come together to Canada.
Spouse can do soft landing and then can go back. It is not necessary for spouse to be in Canada with you. Spouse after soft landing can come back anytime later, even as later as 2 years. I would suggest to include spouse.

So the plan is this:

Once I get my PR, my spouse will come as a visitor (on a travel visa) with me for 2-3 weeks and then she will leave. In this case would you still strongly recommend getting the marriage certificate?

To prove marriage you need certificate, period!
I am suggesting add her as accompanied, she can land , stay as short as 1 day and go back.

Hi Guys,

I have a general question regarding the documents required to submit for Express Entry. As per my document checklist, cic did not ask me for ielts,birth certificate, nor my work permit.

Im really confused and would appreciate if senior members can provide their opinion on it.

Thank you very much!

Hi! It is very unlikely if you are not asked for ielts. However, it is a must for you as without a valid ielts or french language score, you're not eligible to get an entry into the pool. Make sure you are referring to the right link.

Birth certificate is needed only for children. As for IELTS, you can add as part of your education documents and upload, it is not a mandatory document as long as you have provided IELTS number and other details in fields.But recommended to upload along with education documents.

If you are claiming points for job offer then a placeholder is generated for offer letter but there is nothing for work permit.

and as far as the proof of work experience is considered, do we have to upload all the paystubs from past years along with job letter? or just some random pay stubs, t4, job letter will do?
