Express Entry Step by step instructions.

[Maheysha]

Thanks for the detailed information! I am creating my Express Entry profile and I have a few questions:

1. Under the education history section, should we update just the highest degree/diploma, or should we also update school, higher secondary details too?
2. My work history consists of Business Development as well as Business Strategy in the same organization. Not able to find the best suitable NOC. Suggestions?
3. After receiving ITA, apart from submitting the ECA, should we submit any other transcripts of our education?

Thanks in advance!
Mahesh

Hi Friends,

A couple of basic doubts I have on reference letters are below. Please help to get clarification.

1. I Do have 15 Years of Foreign Experience. One year of Canadian Experience. If we Get ITA, How many years of reference Letters we Need to show. Is it all 15 years one Or the Last 6 Years or the Last 10 Years?
2. DO we need to show the compensation details on the reference letters? If for some reason, if they don't present or the employer refuse to add them to the reference letter, What are other options Like Payslips or Tax forms (form16 or T4, etc)? Do we need to get Payslips or some form of compensation details of all previous experience (15 or 10 years)?

Your help is much appreciated on the above questions. Thanks in advance

As far as I know, we need to enter The Education details which we are certifying as part of ECA. For example, if you are validating your Degree AND/OR Post Graduation, then you need to mention those education details in EE profile.

Apart from ECA, we don't need to provide any other transcripts until you have other Trade licence or other education-related licences.

Expert members or experienced members might provide more clarity on your questions.

Hello everyone. I want to make it concise.
My husband is in canada since January 2018, we got married in January 2019.
1) we applied for visitvisa(to celebrate honeymoon) in May 2019 and got rejected.
Reason: country ties, not enough opportunities in country for me to come back.

my husband started working since March 2020.
2) we applied for Spousal open Work permit in May 2020 and got refusal in Dec 2020.
Reason: job NOC not clear (As we didn’t provide roles and responsibilities) and proof of relationship ( no idea why)
Now we have applied for GCMS notes.
We have two options:
1) reapply for SOWP with roles and responsibilities
2) go for PR process (my husband will complete his 1 year job experience in March 2021)
We will have a good CRS score, IN SHA ALLAH

a) i also want to know if we got proof of relationship as refusal reason, will it also affect in PR process?
b) can he apply for PR and after submitting docs , can he move back to Pak till we wait for COPR?

sorry for a long post , but we are very confused regarding these issues.
Thank you in advance.

hi guys, need your help.. I did my bachelor of engineering and later an MBA. For my ECA WES only required my MBA degree and gave me a masters evaluation. however my complete experience is in engineering field.. While filling my EE form i just mentioned my MBA as it was the only one accredited by WES. is it ok to not mention my bachelors even though my NOC code for jobs are all engineering related. Secondly if i am looking at PNP programs should i get my engineering degree evaluated as well if im going for skilled worker in my relevant field. Any advice would be appreciated

Hi all,
While filling out my express entry profile, I did not see a field where I could enter details of my daughter. I did enter the details of my wife who is going to accompany me.

Is there a place where I ought to have had entered my daughter's details or does that come after ITA is received?

Hello everyone,
WES ECA gave me 4 years bachelors degree equivalency for my 3 year integrated BCom degree from Mumbai University.
Please suggest whether I choose 2 or more degree/certificate or just normal 3 year degree?

I think only bachelor if you don’t have any other diploma or degree

IF you are applying to FSW, you need proof of funds as there is no exemption. Once you are eligible for CEC, you don’t need to show proof of funds.

Do we need the transcripts of educational certificates while submitting documents post ita. I already have the wes done.

Experts here can correct me. This is just my understanding

As per the CIC site, Proof Of Funds not required if the Applicant is currently in Canada on the work permit and working and have a valid job offer.

If you are invited to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program or Federal Skilled Trades Program, you will need to show that you meet the settlement funds requirement unless you:

• are currently authorized to work in Canada, and
• have a valid job offer from an employer in Canada.

Hi Friends,

Have a question on How Many Years of Reference Letters to show if we are gaining

35 points for

CRS - Human Capital - Canadian Work Experience 35

50 Points for

CRS - Skill Transferability - Foreign Work Experience

Got into the dilemma that do we need to show all our previous work exp letters (i.e. if the candidate has 15+ years of exp)? Or Does the candidate need to provide the Last 6 years' reference letters as CRS calculator awarding 50 points when we select 5+ or more dropdown from the app?

Your valuable suggestions will help. Thanks in advance.

Hello there,

I have some confusion regarding my Express Entry profile. Firstly, I made an EE profile and in the immigration section, I accidentally put NO to the question “have you ever applied to IRCC before” and I have an UCI starting with “CAN..” can I change it to yes and give the UCI I have from WORK PERMIT application in existing profile to that question or I have to make a new EE profile?

Secondly, I have a Canadian Education of 2 years in Supply Chain Management, what should I answer in the question “was more than half the study program English or French as second language courses?” Yes or No? I had only one term in which I studied a course named “English Essentials” apart from my regular courses. Is that the same as ESL( English Second Language Course)?

If I select NO to the above question, I am getting 15 points for Canadian education and the total is increased from 446 to 461.

Additionally, my wife is done with biometrics and will be done with medical on the 25th. We still have to apply for her passport renewal to add my name in her and then PCC. I am planning to get her passport application done once she gets her work visa. Is it okay if she comes here while my PR application is under process in case I get an ITA as my points are 446 or how should I proceed?


Can someone please advise urgently?

I appreciate your help. Thank you so much.

I assumed the poster was on a PGWP. If on a closed work permit and has job offer (meeting the criteria in the link - has a job offer one year past PR) then you don’t need to show proof of funds.
