Express Entry – 5 Essential Tips to Getting Out of the Pool Safely 4. Don’t trust the Express Entry wizard - You will discover really quickly that if you fail to complete some sections of the Express Entry profile, your “Status” for that section will read “In Progress”. If the section is complete, it will read…..no surprise here: “Complete”. This is all well and good; however, I noticed a glitch in the system where in some cases, the Status read “Complete” with a nice vertical row of green “Completes” for each form when I knew for a fact I still needed to add in some additional information. In my case, I needed to have my client provide me with the “issue date” and “expiry date” on the LMIA we were using to support his job offer. I had not yet uploaded that information into the system but according to the not so smart “Express Entry” Wizard, everything was done and the application was ready to submit. The glitch also pops up when you click the: “Check for Completeness” button at the top of the form. Imagine what would have happened if I trusted the wizard and submitted the application without the LMIA information. The consequence to my client would have been 600 points less on the CRS and undoubtedly a long swim in the EE pool until the error was eventually discovered and corrected. Remember, CIC has stated that “at least in the beginning” every candidate with an LMIA will be given an ITA. The last thing in the world I would ever want to do is try to explain to the Law Society of Alberta that my client was prejudiced NOT because of my incompetence but because CIC assured me I could trust the Express Entry wizard offering advice and direction behind CIC’s virtual curtain. I might as well dust off my Scarecrow costume from the Wizard of Oz and start singing “If I only had a brain,” because my future livelihood wouldn’t be coming from practicing law, that’s for sure. So the moral of this story is that you need to carefully go through each of the forms once, twice, and maybe even three times just in case, so as to assure yourself that what you are filing is “really” complete.
