Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Thanks a lot Deviim for your prompt response.

Could you also please advise if I should buy FD's through online banking or go to the branch and get hard copy of FD certificates. I would like to understand which one is more convenient in terms of providing documents as proof of funds to CIC (online statement balance or hard copies of Fixed Deposits)

Regards,
Darshan

To make your case flawless, i would suggest you walk into a branch, get a FD certificate, request a bank official to put a stamp and sign on it. Then use a photocopy of the receipt as POF.

Online statement balances might not look very authentic to a CIC officer.

Please guide :

1. WHo should be primary applicant? Me or Wife?
2. CRS Tool, Que No. 4:
For ME: Two or more certifiate programmes? ( AS Primary applicant)
For Wife: BAchelors or Two or more certificate programmes? (As primary applicant), Should 4a be answered as total no. of certificates i.e. canadian diploma+4 years ECA bachelors degree? (Confused here) Huh Huh Huh Huh
3. A primary applicant can take work experience in only ONE NOC in which he/she is applying or can take total experience? And SPOUSE can take total work experience in ONE OR MORE NOCs( As mentioned in CRS TOOL? Huh Huh

Guys! Please help getting this thing sorted.

Thanks In advance

Regards!

1. You have not mentioned about your age. However, based on the information you have provided, i guess it will be wise for your wife to apply as the primary applicant. She has Canadian education and Canadian work experience. That makes a big difference in the score.

2. Two or more certificates.

3. Choose one NOC that matches the most with your work experience.

Hello posters,

While looking at the upload forms, I was wondering if there's a proper naming format that needs to be followed, meaning a format that makes sense to the Visa Officer. For example:

Employment Letter: EEProfile#_NOC_NameOfEmployer_PrincipleApplicantName
Medical Proof : EEProfile#_UMI#_Name
Travel Document : EEProfile#_Name
.
.
etc..

This might seem like a nominal thing but may make things a lot easier for the VO, since they must see multiple applications everyday and following these minor details ends up making a huge difference to VO, thereby speeding up the process and benefiting the applicant in the end.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I have got an email from WES saying that my application will be completed in April 24th but if I pay $65 to use 'rush service', they finish it in 3 business days. There was a link in that email for the rush service but when I click on it, it says Currently, we are maintaining our server. Please try to login again later. Has any of you had the same problem or used rush service? I dont mind paying extra $65 but it doesnt let me do it! Please help. Thanks

Need Advice !!

1. I received ITA (draw 12th April), in ITA it is mentioned as "Obtain the documents which you must submit with your application (see “checklist” for details)", but I could not find any checklist, somewhere I read that after I finish all the section in application then the checklist will be generated, Is this correct understanding ?

2. I live in Tokyo and for PCC they want me the share any document which clearly shows the purpose and use of PCC, from where I can get this document.

3. In ITA application, there is a section "Contact Details" where they are asking to fill the places I lived in last 10 years. During this period I lived at 4 different places and I don't remember the exact dates when I moved in and out, even I dont remember the exact address of the first place I lived. What should I do and how much accurate I should be while providing this details.

4. For POF, can accompanied spouse funds will be considered valid. I mean if we give bank statements from my and spouse bank and all together we meet the criteria, will this be OK ?

Thanks for your guidance.

1 - That's correct.

2 - There is a thread on this forum which talks about how to get a Japanese PCC, look for it.

3 - Fill them out to your best capabilities.

4 - Yes, that's perfectly fine.

Hi Everyone! Need your help!

I am very pleased to share that I have received an ITA in the latest draw and in process of getting my paperwork in order. I have 2 queries:

1) My fiancee will accompany me, We aren't married yet but getting married in a month. (combined score is higher than cutoff and original score). Is it ok for her to go through the medical tests immediately? (Doctors send the reports via e medical to high commision; I hope that wont be an issue as I will be using my application no. for her?

2) She did her post grad in UK for 1 year in 2015. Is a police clearance certificate required for UK also?

Thanks!

Congrats,

1) This is ok, just make sure that your recalculated score is indeed higher than the cut off, and explain everything in your LOE. Yes, she can get her medicals done.
2) Yes it is. PCC is needed for all countries one has stayed in for a period of more than 6 months (cumulatively) since the age of 18.

All the best

No, put it in personal history only. If you put it in educational history it will require an ECA.

All the best

hi all

I got ITA on 24th March . i have few query's regarding my application .

First , I regret that I approached a consultancy who have made me to loose my confidence .

regarding work experience letter :

i worked for a bank from Aug 2009 to dec 2011 as test engineer - will be able to get reference letter as per CIC format
next i did my MBA from may 2012 to july 2014
after MBA joined a IT major on jan 2015 as test engineer again . to my bad luck the unit which i worked got merged to subsidiary company ( with no changes in hierarchy and teams and same job role as test engineer )from August 2015 and iam working with the same organization currently .
As a routine story my both IT major and its subsidiary are not willing to provide CIC specified format of reference letter

so i decided to get the reference letter signed by my manager to be notarized and attach his business card , offer letter , letter from HR about the unit transfer , all pay stubs . when i said this to my consultancy he said visa officer will not accept it . is it so?

wife work ex:

on EE profile i kept work ex of my wife as NO because she dose not have any canadian work ex. but she is having work ex from indian employers and iam willing to sate it under her personal history . my consultancy guy says it would be misrepresentation . is it so ?

i am totally demotivated by the words of the consultant . please hep with your suggestions .

Hi All

I received my ITA on 13th April. Before proceeding any further, i have a doubt to clear...

My name in all the required documents is mentioned without my surname.However, my bank account has my name with surname.

My father name is mentioned with surname in all of my documents.

What could be done in this situation?

Please guide me...

THANKS
