Thank you Tanaka.

In that case, what answer should I provide for "Do you have a relative who is a citizen or permanent resident of Canada?" In my Pre-ITA application, I have selected it as No.

Can you please suggest?
The purpose of this question is for the system to award points for this. Therefore you should answer No since you do not want to claim the points or have evidence of this relationship, and then mention her in your family information section.

For the sake of clarity, you can explain this in your LOE.

regards

Hi,

Thanks for your revert.

The source of funds would be salary and occasional cash deposits of small amount earned from free lancing over the period of 6 months.
If you can explain this and give evidence there wont be a problem.

Hi,

I have completed my Masters from University of Queensland in Australia, Bachelors from Bangalore university in India and Post Graduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Rights from National Law School of India University (PGDIPR).

What would be the best approach for sending the documents to WES?

a) Request the documents from University of Queensland be couriered to Bangalore and then combine all the transcripts into one envelope and send it to WES or
b) Request my Australian university to send the sealed copy of the transcript directly to WES and then separately send the transcripts for my bachelors and PGDIPR transcripts to WES. Would this option result in additional charges?

Please let me know your thoughts on the same. Thank you.

Hi there,

I am wondering if I can use my existing medical exam information in my EE application? I am hoping to get an ITA in the next draw (Nov. 1st/2nd?).
I have been living in Canada for over 8 years now and applied for PR through the inland pnp paper based application close to 24 months ago which is still in process. I did an upfront medical exam in July 2016 which expired in July 2017, but based on my GCMS notes, my current application was sent to CIO-Meds in mid-September 2017 (possibly for extension?).
I am wondering if I can just use the same medical exam information in my express entry application, hoping that IRCC would extend it? I have not left Canada for over 4 years now.

I have lost all hopes in the progress of my existing application so I want to apply through EE as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Dear TanakaM,
I have a query regarding reference letter. My HR can not issue any reference letter for my experience. What are the options available in that case? Can my supervisor issue such reference letter and what is the format to be used and if it has to be printed on a company's letter head?


Thanks

Hi,

Your supervisor can right the letter. It must include the following information:
"The following documents are mandatoryfor each work experience declared:

  • a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
    • 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"

Hi,

I don't have a Canadian sibling but my understanding is you can just submit her Canadian passport again. This question is there as some will have a different citizenship and Canadian PR.

Seek a second opinion.

All the best

Hi Confused2017,
The "Family Member Proof of Status" field is for persons who are claiming a PR/Citizen family member in Canada for FSW eligibility points. The 'Sibling' fields are there because of the relatively new rule allowing you to get 15-additional CRS points for having a PR/Citizen sibling in Canada. However, persons with a sibling automatically end up answering 'yes' to the 'I have a family member in Canada' question, as well, so we end up seeing both fields. You can just upload all of the same documents you uploaded for the 3 "Sibling" fields in the "Family Member Proof of Status" field again.

Also, you don't need to provide the old passport copies with your parents names in them for the proof of sibling relationship - the birth certificates alone are more than enough as long as you have a shared parent's name on both certificates to tie you together. Many countries' passports don't list familial ties (i.e. it's not a standard passport practice globally), so Canada is more likely to prefer birth certificates for proof than passports, in this particular instance.

Hi guys

I am creating my EE profile and have few doubts.

I am working under noc b category. There r 2 columns wgich asks for work experience. I am bit confused regarding these two.

In one coloumn its asking about intended work in canada under which its asking if i have a valid job offer offer in canada and in other section work history is asked. I have filled all my work history details in work history section. What should i fill in sec where its asking abt valid job offer.
Is it something to b filled by the ones with LMIA's as i am not working under any contract or this lmia thing.

Thanks
