Hi smile_2good, thanks for replying but sorry for not making it clear - I want to apply for family stream and I will use the SINP online application site.
My concern is really, there is this settlement fund portion to be filled-in, since I don't have the funds now, is it OK to click SUBMIT? What would be the outcome if I submit it but leaving the funds settlement blank since I plan to put in money later when the application is approved already. You know $20k for us is hard to gather.
Do I need the checklist even if I can satisfy what is required in the online application?
waiting for responses again :-) tnx
Dear Brother,,
Please read the followings:
1. Family member category changes, read the note:
http://www.saskimmigrationcanada.ca/family-members2. Read the Family member category questions and answer, read the second last question carefully:
http://www.saskimmigrationcanada.ca/sinp-family-questionsHere you will find that if you have applied between 1 Jan 2011, to 30 Mar 2011, you will be given 45 days to send bank statement. And if you have applied or applying after 1 Apr 2011 then its requirement that you have to show settlement funds with your application.
you can also read the last question if you want to know why this changes were to be made.
Gathering these tremendous amount in bank and pledging them in bank till you get visa is a huge task. I also faced trouble to access hard cash and i had to sell my plot to get them.. and now they are pledged and i can't move them to invest them in property, or i have to wait till my visa come inshaALLAH and i can take them with me so it can help me establish fast and better.
I hope and pray that your problem gets solved soon.
Regards,
