Hi guys,
Any advice about loans? Took a loan post ITA which I don't want to let the IRCC know.It is not associated to our POF account but rather salary account.I fear they may think we took the loan for our POF(This isn't the case as our POF pre ITA was at 90% already).
Any risk I stand by not declaring? Or if I must mention then how do I possibly convince them it's not for POF?
Note: My wife is main applicant and took the loan with her salary account.Meanwhile the POF account is my account which she has all rights of access to.

Hi everyone,

I am at a crossroad.My CRS score is 493 but my IELTS expires on 21st Nov and my WES 23rd Nov. I am honestly frustrated because it took me several attempts(been writing since early 2017)to get this score and now I don’t know if scores would drop to that level before 21st. I have everything ready to apply as soon as I get ITA but I am really pensive. What do you advise? Should I rewrite another IELTS or remain hopeful. I am honestly tired.

Personally,I would say you should prepare all your documents at once so as to submit within a week of reception of ITA.You will receive ITA by the 9th of November or earlier.I don't see the need to rush to pay for IELTS/ECA right now.It's better you wait out your chances and it doesn't work than to rush to redo them now.

Reference letter only is fine, if it contains all the information required. It also won't be a bad idea to fling in one or two months' payslip(s), but the contracts and tax forms appear to be an overkill. Except of course you are an entrepreneur.

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone,
Do you recommend adding payslips, contracts, tax forms for Express Entry foreign work experience proof or reference letter only is okay?

Hi everyone,
Glad to receive an ITA today with 538points.
Please how can I do proof of funds for an online unregistered business?(Granted I can show customer payment history).
Also is a deposit of $CAD2000 post ITA big enough to need supporting documents?

Do I need to justify a deposit of $CAD 2000-3000 in my EE POF post ITA?
How does one justify funds from an online unregistered business(dropshipping)?

.....you were 18 for the other half of the time you were there...you became 18 in Feb 2014 but you only left Shanghai in Aug 2014.....

You don’t need to give us police certificates for any period of time before you were 18 years old or for time spent in Canada = you need to give them PCC for ANY period of time AFTER you turned 18....you gerrit?

Got it thanks, but I thought PCC isn't done per city but encompasses the entire stay in the said country irrespective of the number of cities one lived in the said country?

Hi guys
So in my travel history, I arrived Shanghai, China in September 2013 where I studied for a year.I was still 17 at that time.I reached 18 by February 2014.And I left Shanghai permanently to another city(Xuzhou) in August 2014.
I studied in Xuzhou till 2020 and I have done my PCC for Xuzhou.My question is do I still need to do PCC for when I was at Shanghai given I was under 18 for half the time I was there?

Evening guys a friend's WES timeline just changed to this. Does it mean they received the transcript?

No.3 says transcript accepted
But No. 4 says not received

Accepted means the school has already confirmed with WES that it is a valid degree taken from their institution.

Feeling distraught right now.My wife is our PA for Express Entry.Her IELTS score just came in Band 8 at L8.5 R8.5 W6.5 S7.5.Missed the golden score by a 0.5. I will create our profile today but what do you guys suggest?
To go in for a remark or register for a new test? The only available test dates in my area are Oct 4th and 18th CBT.Our score is at about 472 with this score.
She already took TEF and our ECAs completed.

Hi everyone.
Happy to inform you that by God's bountiful grace the EOR was successful.
Wife's Writing score changed from 6.5 to 7.This guarantees we will be selected in the next draw.
I want to ask though,will the TRF Number change as a new TRF will be issued? Because I will be using the current TRF Number for our EE profile

nymphomaniac:
is she not being paid during leave? Isn’t leave a policy for most companies? Why are you seeing problems where there are non?

It's a paid leave

Hi guys,
October will make my wife who is our PA exactly 3years of experience.However, she took a paid maternity leave since August.Will this affect her work experience?As in will it still count as 3years?
Note;employer has no issue signing reference letter as 3 full years of employment.

Hi guys,
I studied in China for 7years till 2020.My wife is our PA and I am the accompanying spouse.Do I need a PCC from China as accompanying spouse?
Also,we went for a one-week honeymoon in Dubai in 2021.Do we need to state these and also get PCC from Dubai?

If you have the money, apply for remark and enrol for another IELTS. In my case that is what I did, fortunately, there was an upgrade in the remark.

Did the results come out before you wrote another IELTS?If yes what percentage were you refunded?
I applied for a remark today. Haven't paid for another yet though.

GraciousWords:
Pls study page 1.

Especially the section on IELTS tables and the section on CRS grid (not calculator). She got a CLB 8 in IELTS Writing, that's the problem. You sef don talk am say she miss 7 by 0.5..... 7.5 (CLB 10 is the golden score in Writing btw, 7 in Writing is onlt CLB 9)...all this and more on page 1 links. Remark and also plan to rewrite in case the remark does not change things.

Study that CRS grid, it's the key to seeing CRS points that you are leaving on the table.

CLB7 in all 4 for TEF should give her at least 62 points as well.

Also may be possible that the October 2019 to September 2022 WE is not counting as 3 years yet.

Thank you so much.I have been doing some research and this just confirms my findings.

use crs tool to check for discrepancies

I used the tools before submitting my profile,it showed we were at 484.But upon submitting we are at 472.I'm really distraught

Hi guys,I have an issue.
So today,I submitted our EE profile with wife as PA.
With IELTS LRWS 8.5/8.5.6.5/7.5. We have a CRS of 472.She is a secondary school teacher with 3 academic school years of work experience.She started teacher in October 2019 and has clocked over 1800hrs teaching.She had only 13points for Foreign Work Experience on her EE profile instead of 25.What is the problem?
Also she had 118 in IELTS CRS points.Is remarking/ retaking IELTS with minimum 7 in writing going to substantially increase our scores?

Dimple10:
Apply for remark, choose all the sections...nothing to lose unless she thinks she didn't write well enough

Thank you.
I'll go for just the writing and speaking though.So results can go faster
