This timeline is only approximate as am not the main correspondent.
- Submitted June 2013
- PER 3 months later ie September 2013
- Got pregnant Novemmber 2013 and the result of the pregnancy test sent to our case officer via the case specific enquiry page. This turned out good because when the medical request was sent they suspected I may have delivered and requested a new generic form, additional dependant form, passport id and birth cert for the newborn.

- Medical Request 11 months later ie August 2014. About 2 weeks later medical request for the newborn was asked for. They also requested for a fresh police report for both spouses. They did not request for a new bank statement even when they suspected there must have been a new addition to the family. The reason for this i can only speculate. Firstly the first account sent during the initial submission was way over the requirements. This include bank savings and pension funds. Fortunately, the bank saving is still intact till date. The second reason doesn't make sense but symbolic

- November 2014 passport request for all.
- December 2014 visa issued

Information for immigrants (Express Entry)
On January 1, 2015, completing an Express Entry profile will be the first step in immigrating to Canada permanently as a skilled worker under the:
Federal Skilled Worker Program,
Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
Canadian Experience Class.
Under the Express Entry system, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will invite people to apply for permanent residence based on the information they enter in an online profile. You cannot apply directly to any of these programs unless CIC sends you an invitation to apply (ITA).
If you are planning to apply to one of these programs after December 31, 2014, you can learn more about how Express Entry works.
Getting ready to complete your Express Entry profile:
1) You will need to take a language test. CIC will use your test results to see whether you are eligible to immigrate to Canada under one of the federal programs that are part of Express Entry.
2) If you were educated outside Canada, you may need to have your educational credentials (your foreign degree, diploma or certificate) assessed against Canadian standards.
You may not need an assessment if:
you have at least one year of recent work experience in Canada, or
your work experience is in a skilled trade (skilled manual work).
Note: Even if you don’t think you need to have your foreign education assessed to be eligible under Express Entry, you may want to do so to increase your chances of being invited to apply.
3) You need to know the skill type of the job your work experience is in (as well as the job you plan to have in Canada, if they are different). You will use Canada’s job classification system (the National Occupational Classification, or NOC) to find out whether your work experience is valid under one of the three federal programs.
Entry criteria and the Comprehensive Ranking System
The Express Entry system will create a pool of candidates for immigration to Canada. We will assess candidates based on a number of criteria, and will invite the highest-ranked to apply to immigrate to Canada.
There are requirements not only to get into the pool, but also to be chosen from it.
Find out about the entry criteria and the Comprehensive Ranking System.
To find your job title, code and skill type
Go to the NOC's website and
Search your job title.
Find the closest match in the list.
Make sure the main duties listed match what you did at your job (if they don’t you will need to find a different job title with duties that match yours).
Write down the numeric code and job title (example: 7253 Gas fitters).
Write down the skill level or type according to the lists below.
If your four-digit code begins with "0" (example: 0211), your job is NOC Skill Type 0.
If your four-digit code begins with any of these: 11, 21, 30, 31, 40, 41, or 51, your job is NOC Skill Level A.
If your four-digit code begins with any of these: 12, 13, 22, 32, 42, 43, 52, 62, 63,72, 73, 82 or 92, your job is NOC Skill Level B.
This job code is referred to as your "NOC code" in the Express Entry profile.
If you apply before January 1, 2015:
We will process your application under the rules in place at the time you applied.

@Solomonwis, thanks for your swift response. Please, I have another silly question again...after sending result/transcripts from my school to WES for evaluation, did I need to pay any money to WES for processing and how will they confirm to me that they have received my transcript and has been evaluated...? I need your input. Thank you.
