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

[rajkamalmohanram]

what score can have more chances of getting PR under FSW if applying for 2+1. Husband being PA + wife + kid ?

All that matters is the CRS cutoff of the CIC when the draws are made. Till date, the minimum score for which ITAs were issued was 450. So, people above 430 might get an ITA this year (hopefully). Others, we need to wait OR go for a provincial nomination.

Hello guys
So I am preparing documents now in case I receive an ITA
The thing is I have lots of documents that need translation to English but I have read on CIC that they have to be done by a certified translator . I don't live in Canada ! Can I have them translated in my country by an official translator and would this be satisfactory to CIC ? I have read also somewhere that if documents are translated by a non-canadian translator they have to be notarized ? The problem is in my country there is no such thing for translated documents so I do not know what to do exactly !

Hi Guys,

I'm filling out all necessary paperwork and there are a few things that I want to clear out.

1.Uploading a passport - do we have to upload just a bio page and page with our personal information or we have to upload with pages where we have a Canadian border stamp. Or all pages?

2.Employment records - do we have to add a T4 forms and Notice of assessment what we got from CRA or just Pay stubs and letter of employments.

Thank your answer,

Regarding SINP online application my immigration consultant is telling me to fill the form now even though I m yet to create my EE profile. My IELTS is slated for Nov 21, 2015. He says that I can fill the form now even without the EE profile being created and then I can update my IELTS score later once m done with the test.
It doesn't sound convincing to me. Can anybody share any info on this pls. Is the consultant trying to fraud me? Pls help

Unfortunately, unless you have a job offer, you cannot apply to Ontario. Ontario will handpick people from the EE pool at their discretion (The minimum requirement is that the CRS should be >=400). I suggest you try some other PNPs like NSNP, SINP or PEI.

Hello Everyone,

I need some help on a urgent basis as I am unable to fill out my Express entry profile. I have faced the following issues when completing the profile-

1. Education History: I have a BSc Hons in Applied Accounting & ACCA membership. I have studied both in Bangladesh but the qualifications are from United Kingdom (certificates are issued from United Kingdom). So which country should I choose for "Country of Study" in the express entry form?

2. 1112 Financial and investment analysts- This employment requirements of this NOC states that a Bachelor degree is required. But I actually performed the duties in this NOC before completing the Bachelor degree? Can I include this experience in my profile?

3. Work Experience: I started working before completing my graduation (while studying ACCA and BSc Hons in Applied Accounting). I am not sure which experiences can I input in the express entry form? Below is my timeline consisting of education and work experiences.

Education-
2007- Completed O-levels
2009- Completed A-levels
2010- Started Graduation (BSc Hons) and a Professional qualification (ACCA)
2014- Completed both Graduation and ACCA

Work Experiences-
Dec 2011 to Nov 2012: Worked as an Accounts Assistant working 40 hours as a salaried employee
Jan 2013 to Aug 2014: Worked as a Financial Analyst working 44 hours as a salaried employee
Sept 2014 to Present: Working as an Analyst for 44 hours as a salaried employee

4. I want to take my spouse with me to Canada, will she be able to work full time as well?

5. Is there any complications if we both create separate Express Entry profiles, meaning I will create a profile having her as my spouse and the vice versa?

Thanks alot in advance for helping me out!

Hi,

I am looking for your help for my express entry profile submission. I did tried to submit with all details, but it says criteria not met.

However, I checked in the website and my score is reaching 68 with below details.

Below are my details-

Age- 29
Work experience- 6+ years under code 2172
Bachelors degree India- WES evaluation completed(4 years bachelors degree equivalent)
IELTS score- L-7, S-7, R-6, W-6
No education or work experience in Canada.
No relative in canada
Marital status- Single
No second language
I filled funds of $12500 for 1 person in the form.

In the express entry form I filled applied science for bachelor of engineering degree and I did not filled any other education details.

In the work experience, I filled in all job details, however that does not exactly match the NOC title because responsibilities matches out of the detailed description, and not the NOC title. I am a part of data warehouse development team which has many parts like ETL, reporting and many more. Experience certificates will mention only the job we are performing, still that is under data warehousing only.

Could you please help what am I missing or what is lacking so I can meet the requirements? Please help!!

Could you please share your email ID where I can chat with you? That would be a great help too.

Hello Everyone,

I need some help on a urgent basis as I am unable to fill out my Express entry profile. I have faced the following issues when completing the profile-

1. Education History: I have a BSc Hons in Applied Accounting & ACCA membership. I have studied both in Bangladesh but the qualifications are from United Kingdom (certificates are issued from United Kingdom). So which country should I choose for "Country of Study" in the express entry form?

Bangladesh.

2. 1112 Financial and investment analysts- This employment requirements of this NOC states that a Bachelor degree is required. But I actually performed the duties in this NOC before completing the Bachelor degree? Can I include this experience in my profile?

It explicitly states that bachelors is usually required. You can include this experience provided you can get valid reference letters.

3. Work Experience: I started working before completing my graduation (while studying ACCA and BSc Hons in Applied Accounting). I am not sure which experiences can I input in the express entry form? Below is my timeline consisting of education and work experiences.

Education-
2007- Completed O-levels
2009- Completed A-levels
2010- Started Graduation (BSc Hons) and a Professional qualification (ACCA)
2014- Completed both Graduation and ACCA

Work Experiences-

Jan 2013 to Aug 2014: Worked as a Financial Analyst working 44 hours as a salaried employee
Sept 2014 to Present: Working as an Analyst for 44 hours as a salaried employee

You cannot claim 2 activities as full-time simultaneously because that defeats the purpose of calling any of them full-time. If your education is treated as full-time, your work experience is valid as part-time experience till you graduate. After graduation, you can claim it as full-time experience. Else claim employment as full-time and your education will be part-time. In your case, it is confusing because you have worked 40 hours a week while being a full-time student simultaneously (which would be about the same amount of time each week). Input your information truthfully in the EE profile and get valid reference letters, let the system award you points and explain this in an LOE (Letter of Explanation) after getting an ITA, if required.

4. I want to take my spouse with me to Canada, will she be able to work full time as well?

Yes. Provided they are a part of your PR application.

5. Is there any complications if we both create separate Express Entry profiles, meaning I will create a profile having her as my spouse and the vice versa?

No complications. Both of you will have to necessarily include the respective spouse in your applications. And one of your application will have the higher CRS - the other profile is automatically deemed useless because it might not get an ITA.

Thanks alot in advance for helping me out!
