Hi Raj,
Thank you for quick response.
I have another query. I am completing my 2 years of work on post-secondary work permit in March and I will be getting 25 points for the second year next month (as per CIC calculates 2 years) or in March. I travelled back to India in October for around 42 days. That was a paid vacation of 2 weeks and lieu days I accumulated which were paid too. Would it have any impact on calculating the time of work experience?. I am at 434 hoping to get 25 to make it to 459. In case, I am in luck and gets an ITA, should I accept it considering completing time of work?

Thanks
No, IMO. As long as you were employed during the said time period, you are good to go!

I don't think these are 2 degrees - this is just a Graduate Degree

No WES did not, this is from your post:

Canadian Equivalency: Two years of professional study in accounting
Remarks: The credential is not comparable to a completed Canadian
education credential
.
I think you can list it, but when it comes to answering if it has been accessed by WES Canadian equivalency then you answer it as No. Atleast that's my advice.

Adding to the above, here are my other questions: Any takers?

Guys, I think this is a bit of a silly question to ask but we have 90 days to submit our application. But somewhere while filing up the form (continue application) it mentioned you have to complete this in 60 days?

Could anyone clear the chronology of this? Here is my assumption:

1. Fill the application (60 days)
2. Upload the documents (90 days)
3. Pay the fees (90 days)

Hi
I have some questions.
I have 3 years and 1 month experience in my current job. The thing is that I have work experience in other NOCs too. Now, should I mention all of them in my work history? Doesn't make them confused about my main NOC?

Thank you so much

Dear experts, please help me out in this regard

In the earlier visitor visa of my spouse, I mentioned that her study (bachelor) ended in January 2012 as her diploma/certificate states that she passed the degree at the Final exam of January. However, the final exam that started in January continued till mid of March 2012. So now for eAPR, should I change the ending date of the degree to March 2012? If I do so, should I write an explanation letter with it? Thanks in advance.

CEC folk able to help here?

I already submitted my application got AoR two days back. But I am worried if I committed a mistake? For Proof of my work experience from May 2016-Dec 2016, I included a thorough reference letter signed and on letterhead with details required per CIC requirements + business card of my manager. I attached the latest 3 pay-stubs as well. I do not have T4 for this exp as T4 for 2016 will only be generated in second week of February 2017. This is normal in most companies and I hope CEC knows this.

My worry is, I only attached latest 3 pay-stubs. Did I have to attach all bi-weekly pay-stubs since date of starting the role? That file attachment would be insanely big. CIC gives no clear direction on this hence I assumed latest 3 would suffice. I would hope if they have any questions, they can call my manager or request for additional pay-stubs instead of rejection

I have removed my secondary and higher secondary education from my express entry profile and kept only the bachelor and masters degree as I read somewhere that it is ok to not include those. So guys can someone suggest if i did the right thing or not? My overall points are the same before and after the removal.

Hi guys!

I received today the AOR after submitting all the documents. Does anyone know, more or less, how long does it take for CIC to make a final decision? My situation: single (no relatives, wife or kids), 6 years work experience under same NOC, 3 different companies, 3 different countries (3 PCC).

Anyone in similar situation still waiting or finally accepted?

Thanks for your opinion and help!!
