Hello,

I need your help/ suggestions.
I am looking forward to apply for Express entry. here is my situation -
My wife and I planned to apply for Express entry with my wife being the principal applicant and with me as Co- applicant.
My crs score:

> Overall score: 7.5

> Individual score:
> Listening- 8.5
> Reading- 7
> Writing- 7
> Speaking- 7
My education : Bachelor's degree
Wife's crs score:
> Overall score: 7

> Individual score:
> Listening- 8
> Reading- 7
> Writing- 7
> Speaking- 6
Wife's education: Double Bachelor( as considered by wes/ eca report )

Have got around 15 years of experience in IT sector
My age : 38
Wife's age: 37

The score isn't coming good enough to get an ITA for Express entry

2: I know about PNP however I know that's unpredictable and not clear
3: I am open for QSWP/ Quebec experience class - I am not sure about the points there as I don't have proficiency in French.
4: will my wife/ me should apply for educational course/ student visa?

please advice. I am open for any suggestions.
Have you thought about trying to achieve CLB 9 First language principal applicant? That could add 50 extra points beyond the language points.

Hi,
I received my ECA assessment today. I have a 3 yrs bachelors degree and a 2 yrs masters degree in computer science.

IQAS stated equivalency as:

Bachelors degree compares to completion of 3 yrs bachelors of science.

Masters degree compares to completion of 4 years bachelors of science degree.

Can somebody tell what does it mean? Will I need to select bachelors in the express entry profile or 2 or more certificates, diplomas or degrees?

Thanks in advance.

  • Have you thought about trying to achieve CLB 9 First language principal applicant? That could add 50 extra points beyond the language points.

    Thanks for your suggestion. This option is totally new to me and I wasnt aware of what CLB is. I need it research it and see how can i get it done Or if you have a brief idea do you mind explaining?
    Atleast there is a ray of hope I guess. Thanks again.
    If you come across any other way please do let me know.

Hi,

You enter each bachelors degree separately and the system will give you points for 2 or more degrees.

Thanks, I submitted with two degrees separately and got points for two or more degrees as you said.

I didn't see any entry for my dependant kids, only spouse forms were there in the express entry application. Did I miss it or kids entry is not required at this stage?

Regards.

Hi,

That's an odd question after you have received your ITA. What information did you provide on your profile? However to answer your question , your spouse does not nees to have any education, but having it just adds to your points.

hi mdilushi,

as per the agents in new delhi india. i need to have work experience after my graduation has ended and that too of 2+ years. is it correct ?
That is incorrect. Foreign work experience gained while studying is acceptable. Furthermore, you only need a minimum of 1 year experience to qualify for express entry, however, your chances of succeeding improve significantly when you have 3 or more years of experience.

All the best

Hi everyone. I need some clarification on name for creating Express Entry profile. The name in all my documents is different from that on my passport.

So all my documents have only the initial of my middle name say- XYZ A abc
I have been using this name format throughout my life. But when I had applied for passport (Indian) they do not allow only initials. So I had to put the whole middle name(which is actually my father's name).
So on my passport my name is say XYZ ABC abc

All my documents have the name as- XYZ A abc except for 2 documents. My Passport and IELTS result - they both have my name as XYZ ABC abc.

My question is:

1. Now what should I put as my name when creating the EE profile? It says we need to put the name exactly as given in the passport.

2. So if that is the case, will I later need any additional declaration or documents for this name thing. As all my other national identity documents, school and college certificates , birth certificate etc have only the initial of my middle name.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer.

the information that i provided about our educations are the follow:

Principal applicant: Master Degrees.
Spouse : Two years diploma.

i asked this question because i visited Ontario's website to have an idea of the minimum requirement, and i found that a bachelor degree is needed, i assume it applies to just the principal applicant, right? or if your receive an ITA it does not mater if you choose Ontario as the destination.

thank you.
