For the new guide, the Personal Net Worth Statement form is not included anymore because the Visa Office Specific Form is not in the form package list. But I read in some post that they still include this form. Do I need to have this document in my application? My POF is purely cash deposits only.

thanks!

buddy

u need to show the POF as bank statement . personal net worth statement form is required ONLY if its there in the specific VO check list

hi forum members,

I am a potential immigrant from Karachi, Pakistan. I have got a query for you guys and will appreciate a reply in this regard.

I have got a friend who has done his "intemediate/ higher secondary school certificate/ 12th standard" as a private/external student, that means he was not enrolled in any college for the aforementioned degree . He just took the exam and passed it. He subsequently got his degree. which is recognized in Pakistan

now this person has done matriculation/secondary school certificate/10th standard as a regular student(10 years )  Also later on his Bachelors and Masters degree were from an HEC, higher education comission (Pakistani members would know this) approved university as a regular student (3+1 years). but again intermediate as a private/external student (2 years) .so essentially this adds up to 16 years of education but there is this 2 year period as a private/external student

 Now I have heard a lot of immigrant  consultants saying that having a private degree results in zero points out of twenty five  for education and they say the immigration case is very weak ,Although a few say its not an issue with varying answers.Some say  that educational years would only add up to be 14 years in this case (not counting 2 years for the intermediate degree) and thus only 20 points would be awarded. Very few say that it does not matter because the subsequent bachelors and masters degrees were as a regular student and 22 points would be awarded for 16 years of education.

what in your opinion should his education points  be?

please also keep in mind that that according to the official CIC webiste the definition of full time studies is

Full-time studies: This includes both secondary and post secondary education of at least 15 hours of instruction per week during the academic year.

Would really appreciate your take on this .

Thanking in advance

P.S. also I would really appreciate if there is any successful pakistani applicant who had a similar education history to come forward with his experience . and also if someone had his case rejected because of a similar problem to share his experience

RBVO means: Received by VIsa office
you will get this status on your ecas

2nd AOR: it's an acknowledgement of receipt of your docs sent by SGVO by post. you will get it once your ecas starts showing RBVO

Hello dr hasib,

What AOR and ECAS mean? What are the roles in the application?
Thank you and good luck to your new life in Canada.

Hi All,
I am new here, and I want to ask three questions:
1. Is TOEFL accepted rather than IELTS?
2. If my specialty NOC code is not listed in the "Eligibility criteria for federal skilled worker applications as of July 1, 2011" web page, am I still eligible to apply as a skilled worker under another NOC code?
3. How much money should be in my bank account and when should I provide them?

Finally I am asked to do the medical exams for PR. However, I am so worry as my wife has a belly hernia due to her pregnancy and might need a surgery. Does this affect the results of my application? If yes, is it better to postpone the medical exam untill the surgery is gone?

Thanks

This is not a major medical problem and will not affect your immigration plans at all.  If she needs heart surgery or brain surgery or some other complicated and expensive surgery, then it might be a problem but this is not.

Hi,
for the IMM forms , did you get a reply for the ''TO DATE'' section ?, do you put the date of signing the document or contract date of the present employment.
Also, do you use capital letters to input the details in the forms.

Hi all senior forum members here,

I received my CAIPS report today but no activity is mentioned in the caips report. Its only says,

PAPER FILE SENT TO PA        FILE BF'D TO: FRR ON 18-09-2011

It also mentions

FILE READY FOR REVIEW

but I understand no action has been done on my file.

Can you please suggest if any action has taken place on my file or when any action is going to take place. I am yet to receive the MR though the RPRF is received by NDVO and this is mentioned in the CAIPS Notes.
