Express Entry in a nutshell

[kamy]

is it common that you don't get an ITA even if your CRS score is more than the cut-off score?

No, cut off score means anyone having score above that mark are invited.

No, that's not possible. If your CRS >= cut-off score of the draw, you will definitely get an ITA.

Dear Raj & other Seniors,

Regarding Canada work exp letter, it does not contain salary details and I am planning to include LMO copies which contain salary as well.
As supporting documents, I am also thinking to provide T4 & NOA but my T4 has higher amount than in LMO because of overtime (9 hours instead of 8 hours). Do I need to explain in LOE that why amounts are not same ?

Please suggest.

Yes, you need to upload digital photos. Specifications for the digital photos should be taken from the help button against digital photo upload section at the end of application.

IMO Yes, most like next month. I would start getting prepared. Look for a thread called Ray of Hope 56.

All the best

2. Rs 7 lakhs INR in wife's account, wife is accompanying.
3. Rs 4.5 lakhs in mutual fund in my name;

2. Employee provident fund is accepted by CIC?
3. Should fund in wife's account is ok or Should I transfer to my account?
4. Mutual funds are accepted by CIC or Should I liquidate it?
5. Do I need to do some affidavit for it, Is there any format for it?

Dear All

I am having some problem while creating the EE profile. I cant select my level of education as "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees." Cause its not showing in the list.
I have done the ECA and outcome is 1. Bachelor's degree (four years) & 2. Postgraduate diploma (one year). So it should be "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees."
I have attached the screenshot of the EE profile. Can anyone please suggest about the issue?

Dear Experts,
What kind of Proof is considered acceptable for work experience ?

1- Bank statements are must to show Salary transfer OR Salary slips are enough ?
2- Can we provide Tax Return as a proof if received Salary in cash ?

Please advise .

Thanks.

There is nothing "must have" except reference letter from employer to show roles and responsibilities, hours, pay etc...
But it's always on candidate to provide all the proofs you have to show that you actually did what you claim. If a person claimed through letter of reference but can't support that claim upon inquiry with respective salary credits, tax statements etc.., it may be considered as a case for further investigation.

Is it a must that the work experience should be post qualification?

Hi, it depends on your profession. Some professions may require qualification prior to work experience. CIC asks the following:

ii. In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have?

It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B).

This makes no reference to whether you were qualified or not. However, each NOC has a minimum qualification requirement. Although CIC does not ask for evidence of meeting this, you must ideally meet this to claim experience in this NOC.

Hope this helps
