Hi Nish,

If your BD is from India, then as per RBI rules, it is valid for 3 months only? but CIC demands for 6 months validity. How are you mitigating this risk?

Regards

Yes you are right, as per RBI DD is valid for 3 months only, but i doubt if the same stand true for International DD. I have got mine from SBI and its written on it that the DD needs to be revalidated if offered after 6 months of issue.

But anyways, even if its valid for 3 months, there wont be any problem. If you are in caps and your application is complete, CIC will charge your draft within on month from the date they received  you application.

Nish any updates about new occupation list ??

[sososand]

please 

The Guide says " place the barcode pages on top of your application ( forms and supporting documents) when you will submit it "  does this mean on top of the whole package including cover letters and everything, or do they want it on top of the Applicants forms and supporting documents?

Thanks guys,

[gizmo59]

Do you need a covering letter?  Isn't everything in the forms?

I was just going to put my barcode page on top of the pile of the stuff they ask for, but maybe I'm wrong

Which barcode page you guys talking about ? And where it is put ?

If you fill out the Generic Application Form on your computer and press the "validate" button, it will generate a bar code. If you do, place the bar code page on top of your application. If you fill out the form by hand (with a pen), you can't generate the bar code, and that's perfectly ok.

Hello Everybody,

I have following questions:

1. Do we need to submit original birth certificate for the principal applicant?
2. Do we need to submit original transcripts of bachelor and masters degrees in a university sealed envelop?
3. Do we need to submit original reference letters from all of our past employers?
4. If Police certificate is not available at the moment do we need to write an explanation letter and tick the check box in document checklist or just submit the explanation letter without ticking the check box in document checklist?

Let me tell one thing here that I have heard about above 3 questions that we need to submit originals.

Many Thanks,

4. If Police certificate is not available at the moment do we need to write an explanation letter and tick the check box in document checklist or just submit the explanation letter without ticking the check box in document checklist? NO, document checklist says if it's not available you can submit at a later time when it's requested from CIC

Document checklist ask for copies only except for PCC and ILETS.

Actually, when I applied last year, I was under the impression that all copies should have a certified true copy stamp. But the current checklist does not mention anything about notarizing copies (except for translated documents as you have mentioned)...
Now I'm a little confused.

Copies of documents such as transcripts, passport pages and reference letters should be.. just copies.. no need for certified true copy stamps. If the document is not in English or French, it should be translated by a certified translator then both (the non-English-nor-French copy and the certified translation) should be sent with the application.. no need for true copy stamps whatsoever.. Right?

Any ideas, guys?

Hey guys,
Do we need to notarize the copies of non-English-nor-French documents as true copies?

Our translator said that 'NOTARIZED AFFIDAVIT ORIGINAL from translator' is not how they normaly do it. basically notary has translated himself and put the stamp ' translated from hindi to English' and notarised it.  isnt that enough? please suggest..
