Regarding IQAS, Can I ask my institution to send my application package together with my transcript? Will there be any issue with IQAS?

No issues. you can ask your university to send the package on your behalf.

Thanks for the step by step application for Canadian EE info. Considering the info was posted in 2015, what is the update or are the steps still the same?

You can ask your question here, or if you have any doubt. Will try to answer that.

I am about to submit my application to IQAS for ECA. Should I include my marriage contract? My proof of identity (passport) is still my maiden name.

You can submit any other identity proof. IQAS usually asks for "proof of name" document, that can be any legal document showing your identity.

Thankyou. Is it ok to if tge institution will send it TOGETHER with my transcript?

Dear House

Greetings to you all. I am just a bit worried regarding the POF. I have CAN$20,000 for a family of three (considering minimum requirement is $19,093) and this is the amount (CAN$20,000) that will be showing as current balance on my bank statement prior to submitting my application (please note this statement will be available three days before submission). However, the amount is very likely to reduce by CAN$2,230 (upon paying the application fees for family of 3) immediately after submitting the application. Will IRCC now calculate my POF as CAN$20,000 minus CAN$2,230 (application fees) = CAN$17,770, which is now lower than the required minimum of CAN$19,093. I will appreciate your kind gesture. Thanks

Dear House,
I created my IRCC profile with NOC 2281 (Computer Network Technicians) and i was awarded Ontario NOI after a couple of days. But i did more research and i realized that NOC 2147 (Computer Engineers except software engineers) is a better fit. I have updated my IRCC profile & i intend to apply to Ontario for PNP. Do you think that i need to upload a LOE to explain why i changed my NOC? Also are we allowed to change NOC after Ontario has awarded you NOI? Will this NOC change affect my application? What's the best path to follow? Please also understand that NOC 2281 and NOC 2147 are closely related and they are both acceptable to Ontario for nominations.

If you get a direct ITA, then the avg balance in your account should be 20,000 CAD for one month, post that get a certificate from bank and then you can use that money as your VISA fee.

Once you get VISA and before landing at Canada port, you should have 20,000 CAD in your bank account again and for safer side, get bank certificate again or traveller's cheques to show that you have enough money to support your family to Immigration Officer (If they ask).

Can you please rephrase your question?

Can you please rephrase your question?

Is it ok if my institution will be the one to send my application package together with the sealed envelope of my transcript? 2 sealed envelopes (my application package and trnascrip) sent by my institution on the same date.

100% you should write a LOE regarding this fact. Discrepancies between NOCs in EE profile and Ontario application is a common issue but if explained, it is not the reason for refuse by Ontario.
Also, keep in mind that the nomination certificate issued by Ontario contains NOC and IRCC require you to apply under PNP with the same NOC.

Hi...to increase my points i have done post graduate diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA - 1 Year) via distance education mode. I hope that WES will recognize distance education diplomas. I have done the BTECH and it is already evaluated by WES in 2014. I am doing this part time diploma from Swami Vivekanand Shubharti University. It is recognized by UGC. But the University is not issuing me transcripts. So can i take the photo copied of the marksheets and can get it attested from the university and mail those in a sealed envelope. Will that be acceptable by WES ?

Hi everyone....I have a query regarding proof of status of sibling. My brother is a canadian citizen and I am claiming that points in my express entry profile.

For providing a proof of status of my brother, can I use scan of his canadian passport, or is citizenship certificate the only valid proof?

Thanks..
