You don't need any documents when you create your Express Entry profile - other than your Language test report(s) <IELTS/TEF> and your Education Credential Assessment (ECA) report number. You will need to submit all documentation only after you get an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Check this link to see what the document(s) must contain -

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp

Ideally, your reference letter needs to be on the letter head, signed and stamped by HR/Manager and must contain the following information :

Name, Date of joining, Date of relieving (if applicable), Designation, Annual Pay Package, detailed roles and responsibilities you perform (this must match the NOC that you choose), Number of hours worked/week and nature of the job (full-time/part-time).

Hello, after getting the ITA, so I need to upload the document and then pay the "application fee" and "right of permanent resident fee". But when do I get the AOR (Acknowledgement of receipt)? Do I need to mail the document to CIC office?

a) You don't need to pay the RPRF upfront- only the application fee is necessary. However, you will eventually have to pay the RPRF later, so if you just want to get it out of the way now, you are free to.

b) You get an AOR within 2-24 hours of your application being transmitted.

Hello sir. Thank you for your reply. So I assume during the whole application process, there is no documents needs to be physically mailed to CIC? I was told earlier that CIC may send a physical mail letter to require for additional document, "schedule 4" ect. Is that correct?

And I am trying to apply for the EE CEC and if I have a canadian master and a foreign bachelor, should I included the foreign bachelor ECA (it will take a long time to get from my home country)? I think in the EE "personal history" section, I am required to enter all history starting 18 years old. So I have to include the bachelor degree there.

Thanks a lot

Any additional documents that the CIC requests need to be transmitted electronically, so you don't need to worry about any physical mail.

Generally speaking, you only need your highest qualification, so just use your Master's for the application- put the Bachelor's degree in the Personal History of the application, as you correctly identified, yes.

Hello sir. Is there is CIC website that specify that the highest education should suffice? I was looking for a long time and can't find one.

The reason I was asking about this is that I got my bachelor at 20 year old in a quite early age (go to university at 16). So I think a lot of canadian go to university at 18? So I am just thinking maybe someone who attend university at younger or older age may need to provide more information? I have seen people attend university at 30 doing a bachelor.

I have three years of work experience before coming to canada doing a master. So maybe I should consider prepare a ECA just in case? Because if CIC require it in the middle of application process, I won't be able to provide it in 60 days because my home country takes 90 days to process and it take WES center in canada another one more month to get the ECA.

Thanks a lot.

No, there is no wording on the official website that would specify this- however, whenever you do apply, only your highest credentials are assessed, unless the application in question is specific to specific fields. Your age should not be a factor here (beyond the dates lining up with what you put in in the application).
All of this said, it definitely does not hurt to have your ECA done- it will cover your bases well, and preempt any issues that might potentially arise, however small the chance. So yes, I recommend getting your ECA done for your foreign degree too, and to do it now. Make sure you apply to WES Canada when you get this done, however, as opposed to WES in your home country.

Hi Rajkamalmohanram

Thanks a ton for the helpful info.
I have a letter from my previous employer (dated 2009) which I needed for a trip abroad, stating that I have been working in the firm for 3 years, my salary and grant of 1 month leave (with dates). Will this suffice as a proof of job in the last 10 years( the job was according to my qualification).

Please HELP.

Regards

Hi,

I have few questions.
Could anyone help me with any information on these?

1) Normally how much time does CIC take to complete our process after the day we submit our documents?
2) Do they process it any faster if we have a job offer from Canadian organisation? Approximately how much time do they take considering an employer is awaiting this process?
3) in the above case, we don't require submitting the proof of funds, right?
4) If we dont have a job offer, can we submit real estate property documents and PPF/PF documents as proof of funds?

If you are claiming points for the fore mentioned experience, then I am afraid the letter which you have will not suffice as it does not meet the requirement in full. As per the requirement, the reference or experience letter from the employer
- should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
- should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits;
