immigration: couple of transgender + male

[red_kitty]

Hi all!

I'm transgender woman (Male-to-Female post-op transsexual). I completely finished transition, and my friends usually know nothing about my past. I look like a really girl. I have a woman ID, woman University diploma, birth certificate, and another documents, but not all of them - unfortunately, I don't have woman school diploma. This paper has a boy name

We (I and my husband) are IT-specialists. He is senior developer, and I am the It engineer. We have a good skill and usually have lots of job offers in our country. Unfortunately, level of my English is poor (about pre-intermidiate), but my husband's is ok, he has a fluent English. He will be our main applicant. We looking for answers to questions about express entry immigration:

1) Should I tell about my changing sex to immigration officer?
2) Should I wrote about it in application forms?
3) Should I wrote my previous first and second names in application forms? Please note: I have woman birth certificate
4) What we need to do with my school diploma? Can we do nothing? I really no want to go in my school to changing document and get new paper with my new name & family.
5) Can I find a job in Canada with my level of English? If I work for food? ;D

How big our odds are? Probably, we will have 358 points. If conservatives not win elections in Canada, NDP and/or liberals will reduce passing score, is not it?

With a score of 358 - you have no chance of being selected. Don't assume that the NDPs or Liberals being elected will change this. Instead, work to increase your score.

As long as you and your husband are married / common law - there shouldn't be an issue with your application.

If you had a previous name - you will have to list it in your application. This means that you will have to explain in your application that you are transgendered (I would include a letter to cover this information).

OK
How do you think, how many points we need to get a chance?

Are you sure? Did you read my note?


And how about medical tests in my situation?

450+

450+

But it was 453 in 27-th, March.

Yes - and it was still above 450 in the last draw that happened this week. It's definitely not going to drop below 400. In fact many here expect it may never drop below 450.

OK. We will try another ways to up our points. Probably, we can up it to ~390-396. Or my husband try to find job remotely, it provides, we know a sufficient number of points. Thank you, scylla, for answers.

What about my other questions?

My questions are actual.

I changed my born certificate. If I understand correctly, I need to tell immigration officer only if I have old name/or sex in Born Certificate, doesn't it?

I haven't actual state papers with my old name/sex.

You definitely need to mention your old name in the application for the background / security check. Failure to mention your old name is misrepresentation (lying in your application). Misrepresentation will result in your application being refused and you'll also be issued a 5 year ban from entering Canada.
