Hi all

I am looking to apply for express entry and my CRS score is predicted to be c 443. Hopefully that means that I have a good chance of a ITA soon after applying.

The soonest I can leave my current job is November 2019 due to my study contract (otherwise I would have to repay a lot of money). I do want to start planning and getting things in place though. So I have a couple of questions.

1. What documents can I get now that will not have expired by November next year? Presumably police checks/medical etc don't last over 12 months. How long does the WES document certification last?

2. I know that there is a 'piece of string' argument here, but if I can't move to Canada until December 2019, when would it be earliest time to apply in terms of maximising ITA and subsequent immigration timescales?

Thanks in advance
