    Submitted e-APR, credit card charged....

    .....but under my Profile Details it shows up as 'Processing Payment'. I basically submitted everything (including payment) right before the application deadline (which is in a few hours), so I should be good, right? Does it take a while normally for the status to change to 'Application...

    Out of 7 jobs declared....

    .....I have the correct template of reference letter available for 6 of those jobs. The 7th one is acting rather flaky about getting me a reference letter in the absolute right format that I've requested with all the CIC stipulations, but I've discovered that I have received an employment...

    Need Urgent Advice from those in the know about FBI Clearances

    I posted this yesterday, but didn't get any response. Could be that everyone's busy with the Canada Day celebrations :-) My questions are as so: 1) For the many who are in the boat of waiting on their clearance while the submission deadline of the e-APR draws nearer, and who have decided to...

    Digital Photo for e-APR: Conflicting Information

    Hi all, So in the official Express Entry checklist, under Digital Photos, the size requirements are stipulated as being 50mm x 70mm. However, when I got to the placeholder for digital photos in the e-APR, it says the final frame size of the photo must be at least 35 mm x 45 mm. The...

    If I want to prove residency of a second family member....

    .....in Canada, but there is a placeholder for only one, should I include the residency proof/relationship proof documents such as PR card etc. in the letter of explanation? Or try to include it in the original placeholder along with the other relative? Thanks!

    Digital Photos

    Hi all, Remember my name, you'll probably be seeing a whole bunch of threads from me as I'm submitting my e-APR over the next few days ;-) And trust me, it's not laziness and not wanting to read the very helpful master threads written by experienced board members (have already scoured all...

    What needs to be scanned in colour......

    .....and what's OK in black and white? I understand that the police clearance certificates have to be scanned in colour, but what about the rest? Passport pages too? If certain things are acceptable in black and white, it makes things better as I can resize them easily. Thanks in advance...

    Hi all, Just wondering if there are any scanning guidelines suggested? For each page of each document so far, I'm scanning at 600 dpi, saving it as a PDF. At the end, I plan to use a merging software to place multiple pages into the same file. At this stage, is it possible to resize the...

    Just curious about people's experiences when filling this out, particularly in regards to: 1) How long it took to be completed (uploading, answering fields etc.)? Not counting of course the preparation of the LOE. 2) Is it something that can be done in bits? And then saved, returned to and...
