Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Ahmed_1253]

Hai all,

Myself and my same sex partner are planning to enter the pool this month after we had cleared our IELTS. I am from India and my partner is Sri Lankan. I intend to apply as a primary applicant as I have more chance to get through with my blood relations already PR holder in Canada. We both are residing in Sri Lanka (myself a post graduate student here in Sri Lanka for over four years and met my partner during my studies). We both are 30 years of age.

I have some concerns about "common-law" as we intend to apply as one. We have been living together for one year now and can prove sufficient proof of our relationship for over a year (consent from family, friends and commissioner of oaths). However, the country we reside in, do not support same-sex relationships at all costs, nor do we have an option to prove that we have a shared account in the country we are currently residing.

Moreover, the proof of funds would be shown from my partners' account in Sri Lanka (with notarised letter stating that I am eligible to access the funds). Hope I am not making it hard to explain but does our relationship fit well with the "common-law"; do we have a chance if we do apply together as me being the primary applicant?

hi All,

I reside in India and i am expecting to receive my ITA for EE in the next draw. Most probably by mid of November I'll be able to submit all my documents. Does anyone have an idea - how long it is taking nowadays to receive the Visa once all documents are submitted.

Thanks is advance!

Hi Friends, I have a question regarding express entry process. My wife is in India and I am a PR in Canada. We are exploring the option of applying express entry for her rather than spousal sponsorship. Because in spousal sponsorship, there is a requirement of spouse living in Canada while PR is under processing and I want to be in India with her. She has 3 years of work experience in India and will mostly be getting 470+ points. My question is in case she gets invited to apply for PR under express entry, will they require her to send my police clearance certificate as well in addition to hers? If they do, it will be a problem because my Indian passport has Canada as home address since it was renewed in Canada and I cannot get PCC from India. So, I have to be in Canada if that is the case. So, has anyone here applied for PR through express entry when spouse is already PR and did they ask for PCC for both?

Hello guys
I am working as pharmacy assistant and this job is under category C .But the duties that i am doing is prettymuch similar to pharmacy tech assistant Which is category B job. Is there any way that i can apply my PR on pharmacy assistant?

Secondly, I am giving exam for pharmacist already clear 2 just last one remaining So is it good idea to wait for license and do job for 1 year as pharmacist and apply after that? because my work permit exp in 2022 oct. I am expecting my license in may2021.

I really need suggestion on that. One of agent told me you can write latter to Immigration department saying you are doing job of Pharmacy tech assistant but title is pharmacy assistant. they might consider that way.

What is best option to go with ?

Hello Guys,
I have a question regarding my passport. I was completing my PR file after ITA. I have two passports- expired and a renewed one. Just wanted to ask if I have to provide details about both passports in the initial forms as I renewed my passport after receiving ITA. By default, my old passport info is there on the form, shall I keep info of both or just the latest one?

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help me out with this. My common-law spouse and I have created an express entry application and have been in the pool since March this year. She is listed as a secondary applicant and our combined points are currently 468

Due to the fact that she does not have a degree, If I had to apply on my own my CRS score would be 471.

Based on the recent draws, I believe it best to perhaps remove her from the application as a second applicant in order to stand a better chance of getting in.

My question is, am I correct in understanding that a common-law spouse can be included in an express entry application in two ways:

1) as the second applicant, whereby her profile will contribute points to our overall score (Max 40 points out of 1200 I believe?)
2) as a dependant, whereby our EE profile CRS score will be solely calculated on me alone (therefore boosting it to 471?)

Is this correct how I understand it?

Also, if this is correct and we want to go this route, is it possible to update an existing EE application to change my common-law spouse from the second applicant to dependant without withdrawing my current profile and creating a new one?

Thanks so much,

Dean

I received ITA in the last round and got confused when I prepared proof documents for the common-law partner relationship. I googled it and found that a few posts (posted in this forum in 2017, 2018) mentioned an imm5409e form, however, in my document checklist, this form is not requested, it only asks for proof documents, is it normal? did they change this rule at some point in the past?

Thanks.
