well either is fine.

i would suggest home address becoz that way you can actually check if the envelope is sealed or not... but obviously you have to send that envelope as it is to WES, otherwise they will reject the documents.

Hi SreejithVM,

I think we are on the same boat. You can read my sentiments on this thread (page 786-787). My application was in the pool for 6 months but got an email from CIC that my FSW entry is no longer eligible but I am definitely sure that I am qualified. The attachment did not specify the reason and it only says to following:

To qualify for Express Entry, you must meet the minimum eligibility criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker
Program, and/or the Federal Skilled Trades Program and/or the Canadian Experience Class. Based on the
information you gave in your profile, you do not appear to meet the minimum eligibility criteria for any of these
programs at the moment.
Below are a few examples of why a candidate will be found ineligible:
• not having a valid language test,
• language test results that are more than two years old,
• a language test score that is too low,
• not having enough relevant work experience,
• not having the required education level,
• not having enough funds.


Hi,

We are on the same boat for sure, even I have the same reasons mentioned in the rejection message. Really clueless now what to do next, all these months it was mentioned I am eligible for PR and one fine day it is rejected.

What are your plans now?

Hi guys.. any ACCAs/CAs out here reading this? I'm submitting my documents for eAPR and need to ask one thing. For our education documents, we need to upload degrees/certificates of our qualification along with transcripts. However I don't have a transcript for my ACCA. I have got membership certificate and two pages that mention that I have cleared all papers in fundamental and professional levels. Should that be enough or do I need to explain it in LOE?

Hi

I am done with the Pre Application Phase and will soon be creating my profile . Before I do that i have a few questions. As per a few sites for creation of EOI there are a couple of documents that are must namely( have highlighted my concern against the documents required ):

· Passport copies - Ready

· IELTS/TEF report of self [and if married, then Spouse’s IELTS/TEF is required to gain additional points.]- Ready

· ECA report of self [and of Spouse to gain additional points.]- Ready

· Educational Documents of Self [and Spouse.] (from 10th till highest education)-
What all documents are required to be shared- Mark-sheets- Semester Wise / Consolidated,
Degree Certificates,Transcripts



· Work Experience docs of Self and Spouse- Offer letter, appointment letter, confirmation letter, promotions letter, (if any) salary revision letter, deputation letter / transfer letter, appreciations letter, role change, awards, recognitions, experience/ Service letter, relieving letter and reference letter.
Reference letter is not a must for spouse.-
Please advice about the Reference letter : Any specific format the same needs to be shared in and also can we get the reference letter signed by HR manager or it needs to be compulsorily signed by my Immediate manager .
For my previous job i have all my documents (offer letter, FNF details,relieving letter) the only thing that is missing is the appointment letter as I have misplaced it .Please let me know an alternative for the same if any other document will suffice the appointment letters purpose that I can get from my previous organisation


Updated resume for both (Self and Spouse)- Ready

Another concern is are the Work Experience documents are a must for the creation of EOI as arranging for the reference letters and a few other documents might take a little time

Thanks

You dont get any points unless her experience is Canadian, so just move it all to personal history and explain this in your LOE.

All the best
Thanks for the reply bro..In proof of studies doc, what should I upload? for myself, Certificates and transcripts..and same doc for my wife too, right?
But in document requirement sections it has also been mentioned----



Where an ECA has been obtained, the applicant must provide the ECA reference number in their e-APR for online validation directly from the issuing organization.
  • A scanned copy of the ECA is not required when submitting the e-APR but may be requested by IRCC at a later date.
  • Applicants are instructed to indicate that their education was completed by correspondence by typing in brackets {by correspondence} on the same line as the education institution name found in the Education Background Information tab of GCMS. The discretion remains with the officer to decide if a police certificate is required for the country of the education institution

I don't understand the second requirement..where should i type {by correspondence}? what is Education Background Information tab of GCMS? is it the e-APR itself?

Thank u

Hi all,

I have a few questions regarding filling the application for express entry - you all's help is much appreciated

1) MBA - majors ( in the application) - my mba is in finance - which option to be selected - - --------------------- business,management,marketing and other supporting services OR
- others
2) designation as per my company is not the same as mentioned in the noc code - but jobs n duties match - will this be an issue?
3) designation to be mentioned in the profile should be as per my company only - right? As that is what would appear on the referral letter

Thanks and regards

If you are going to use this letter it must definitely be notarised. However, there is no guarantee that this letter will be acceptable. What other supporting documents do you have?

I would do everything in my power to get an official letter, even if it means hunting down my old manager.

All the best
Thanks Tanaka. I have other documents like my offer letter and salary slips, promotion letters etc. That i will upload, but reference letter especially from the current employer is a problem, last thing would want is to jeopardise the current job. Can you please suggest how the colleague affidavit works or I need to have it from my manager only.

Regards
V

Lets try to evaluate what went wrong. Would you like to share your details?

Also, If you are trying to qualify for FSW, did you evaluate yourself, whether you got 67 points?
