Have you waited 24 hrs?

Sorry I don't have any idea by what time ITA issued to candidates. I just saw the website now and found there was a draw on Mar 1st....

Hello Everyone,

I got a question on the required document for police certificate. In my document checklist it is written "Police Certificate (Multiple)", however I have been to only one country for over six month. I double checked my travel history and I wonder if this is normal to that it has stated "multiple" or there is sth wrong.


Regards,

Hi all, does anyone have the template in which we need to get details from current and previous employer which is to be submitted post ITA?

Thanks in advance for your kind help!

Folks, this is a question regarding my ECA which I got done through WES Canada : while my bachelors in engineering was approved to be equivalent to an engineering degree from Canada, my MBA from a very renowned institute in India (one of the Top5 in India) was not recognized mentioning that they do not recognize the institute. I took this with them later for a re-val and they came back without a change in their decision.

Now, my CRS score is very low in the range of 350 due to my age and I see that it will bumped by 40 points if my masters can be recognized. Any advice?

If I should send my masters degree to a different entity to approve, do I then necessarily need to get my bachelors degree also to be approved by this different entity or can I submit my ECA with two degrees (bachelors and masters) assessed by two entities?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Congratulations to all who got the ITAs.

Thanks,

Surekha

PLEASE HELP!!

I created my profile overnight and and my review of minimum criteria is still in progress since then. Has anyone had this issue in the past and how was it resolved? I'm sorry i'm posting this in this joyous topic but since y'all have ITAs / are awaiting, i believe you'll all be in a better position to advise.

PS: I had initially created a profile a while ago and for that, review of minimum criteria was met in less than 3 minutes i but i withdrew the application due to some mistakes in the form.

Can this delay be as a result of that??

Here's a breakdown of my status:

Application/profile status.....Pending Additional Criteria
Province/Territory Nomination....No nomination at this time
Job Bank Registration...Not applicable
Review of Minimum Entry Criteria...In Progress
ITA Status..Not Applicable

 

[CanGuy03]

For my MBA (given as Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration in all major Indian B Schools including IIMs), WES evaluated it as:

"Three years of post-secondary study at a non-recognized
institution"

Now, when I fill in the CRS calculator, can I take factor along with my bachelors (4yrs and WES recognized) under:

"Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees. One must be a program of three or more years"

OR, will I need to totally junk the PGDBM and just take my 4 year bachelors in the calculation?

Thanks
A

Congrats to all and Surekha. Im still in SHOCK as I just submitted my application the day after I received my education assessment from CES on Jan 19th. Today I received the ITA with a CRS of 437. While I am happy I thought this would take at least 6 to 8 months so I am now scrambling for time.

I have 2 questions to ask please.

1) Police Certificate - I stayed in the United Kingdom for 1 year i.e for my Masters education. This CIC website explains how to go about obtaining the certificate from the UK. The UK police website makes no mention of students tho? Given I obtained a student visa and was in the UK lawfully with no extended stay and breaches, will I still be required to obtain a certificate.

2) Given I anticipated the ITA taking between 6 to 8 months to apply, and anticipating some investment funds coming in, I put down bringing $35,000 to Canada. I have checked however on the CIC website and it say a single person is required to possess $12,300 in funds to show as proof. Will I be in breach of my application as I dont have the $35,000 currently? I have some investments that I do not want to liquidate yet and
some savings but after conversion it may not reach $12,300. I am also informed that you need to have these funds from the time you apply right up until you have an interview with the visa officer? IS there an interview for proof of funds? This is my main concern as I do not want the gov to think I applied fraudulently.

Many thanks for your help all.

Hi,

1) You definitely need UK Police clearance. The instructions state that you need a PCC from all countries you have stayed in for more than 6 months since the age of 18. I also studied in the UK. Its a must. Visit this site https://www.acro.police.uk/

2) You need to have the minimum amount required. Anything less will lead to a rejection. It is also advisable to have the funds throughout the process as CIC can ask for an updated POF at any time.

Thanks TanakaM - I figured Q1 was a must but wanted to be sure. Yes I saw the website thanks, ironically it may take LONGER for a police cert in my home country vs the UK.
About Q2 - noted thanks. To clarify when you mean throughout the process.... Do you mean have the funds in the bank just before I submit my application or immediately liquidate my assets now (March) and transfer the cash OR when I officially submit my application, 30 - 60 days down the line? So the transfer is April/May

Thanks v much.
