Any Question on Express Entry---i will try to answer

[varinder1717]

Hello Everyone,

Pleas help its very urgent!
So I got an ITA and I am applying for Express entry tomorrow.

All my papers are ready.

I work in Canada on PGWP with Starbucks as a Shift Supervisor.
When I was making my profile it asked for 'Do I have job Offer in Canada?'
I said Yes.

I dont have LMIA.
My job offers me full time hours and I am full time but on my Job letter that is my experience letter it doesnt show PERMANENT or NON SEASONAL words noted. It is just written I work full time 40 hours/week.

Starbucks policy is they cant write those words.

Is it fine if it doesnt mention Permanent word? I dont want my file to get rejected due to this.

Waiting for you guys reply.
Please help
Thank you in advance.

If you don't have a LMIA based job, you should say "NO" to the question "Do you have a job offer in Canada?". Decline this ITA, edit your profile and wait for the next one.

If you have claimed those 600 points for a job that is not LMIA backed and you now submit your application, it will be summarily rejected!

After ITA I submitted my application to CIC and then my EE profile expired, would this affect my application?

Your profile will not expire once you have submitted your PR application.

Hi Brian,
I've recently created and submitted my express entry profile. According to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) tool, my total points should be 425 which includes "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years" as my highest level of education. But after I have submitted my profile, I only get a total of 393 points which means the system is only considering my bachelors degree as my highest education and is not awarding me additional points for "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees". I possess education comprising a four years bachelors degree, and a two years diploma. Can you please look into this matter and advise me of the next steps that I can take to correct this issue.

Hi:

Thanks for starting this post.
My husband and I have received ITA 2 weeks ago. We are originally from India working in US. I need guidance on the following questions. Appreciate all the help!

1) My PCC from India is dated Oct 16, 2015 and his is July 29, 2015. Plus I visited India in Dec 2015 on business trip and he on vacation. do we need to apply for India PCC again? Does having multiple PCC stamps in passport have any issues especially since my US greencard process is about to begin simultaneously?

2) We had received an ITA last year too but our application had got cancelled due to missing documentation according to them. So for the 2 following questions in the application should it be a 'YES'?

-Have you been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?

-Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?:

Thank You
Saaniya

How did you declare your education?

For Bachelors, you are supposed to select equivalenncy as" Bachelors " and for the other credential, you are supposed to select "Two or more degrees" as the Canadian equivalent!

Guys, I have a question regarding PCC.

I am an Iranian residing in India holding an OCI (dual citizenship, so to say).
I live in Bombay. Can I go to the Passport Office for a PCC or do I have to approach the FRRO (Foreign regional office , CID ) for this?

Also, Iranian Embassy tells me that a PCC from Iran could take anywhere between 6-8 months!

What should I do?

Yes, PCC from Iran as per Iranian embassy in Dubai takes 3 to 4 months. So the best way is to take 1 week off, go to Iran, apply for PCC, authorize a friend or family member to collect it on ur behalf, get the authorization letter notorized and then return back to wherever u are and wait for the results. this way u will get ur PCC in about 2 weeks which is what I did

Is their any chance to lower the cut off score this year?

Hard to tell; IMO, it is unlikely.

You could improve your CRS in various ways -

1) Getting a CLB - 9 in IELTS (LRWS 8777).
2) Getting ECA and IELTS for spouse (if applicable)
3) Securing a PNP.
