yes, this is why I told in my application that I'm bringing less than I have (but again more than the minimum)- just in case I won't be able to show the current amount at the time of landing. Do you think it is a good idea to explain this in LOE? I mean, the reason why I am declaring less than I...

Thank you, vishalg! I'm submitting my application today and will withdraw next month or so. Are we required to re-submit a new bank letter showing the latest status of our financial profile after we get our COPR?

Hi, I've more than the required amount (around 28K cad) in my bank account. Since I'm planning to close out my car loan in the following months, I told in my application that I'll be bringing 20K cad for two people. But my bank letter still shows all the money I have. Do you think it is ok? I...

Hi all, I'm finally uploading my documents! Yay!! But I have a question about uploading the copy of my passport. I have one valid and two expired passports. Most of the travels I mentioned in my 'Travel history' are shown in my third expired passport. Many people here advised to upload the old...

A few people strongly recommended to get an affidavit and support it with a birth certificate. But we don't have her birth certificate with us. Here in the US, notaries don't give any advise about the affidavit format either (or at least the ones I went to). I found a few templates on the...

Hi all, I'm going to submit the application by Monday and I need your advise urgently. There are tons of posts regarding gift affidavit but I couldn't find any information regarding the name change affidavit. The only documents we have is our marriage certificate (which also shows her maiden...

hi all, I just read a post regarding the name change after marriage. I and my wife have been married for 14 years. In every document we are uploading which goes 10 years back, my wife has her after marriage name. Do we still need to state the name change and provide a proof for that? In that...

Thank you the stunner! I appreciated it a lot. Just to make sure: By "removing it from EE" you meant removing it from work history, right? I'll just move her work experience to her personal history? I'm going to upload the documents and submit our application this week and I want to make sure...

Thank you jpv! There it say regarding who should submit proof of work experience: "[The principal applicant's] spouse or common-law partner (if work experience in Canada is claimed)." My wife didn't work in Canada. So, it looks like it won't affect our total point and we are good to go without...

Can anyone help? Thank you

Hi guys, I posted this question in a different thread but got no response. I'm little bit confused about Skill Transferability factors and I'd very much appreciate your insights about my inquiry. Based on the chart below; 1. Do the points for "Skill Transferability- Foreign Work Experience"...

Do we get points for her work experience as a TA?

My question is a little bit different. My wife worked as a teaching assistant between 2007 and 2009. Are paychecks enough to prove her employment in work history? - She is dependent - I am the primary applicant. Do we get points for it? If we don't, can we move it to personal history? Thank you

Hello, I'm uploading my documents and have a few questions: 1. I have one current and two expired passports. Most of my travel stamps are on the expired ones. In what order should I upload them? 2. Should I scan the empty pages too? 3. My wife is a PhD student in the US. Should I upload her...

I see. This paragraph is just below the chart showing how much money should one bring according to the family member number. Things can be confusing sometimes. POFs are indeed confusing for many people as each country has its own rules. Wish best of luck to everybody.

Thanks umar! I have also another question. In the forum, I've read that stocks or bonds are not acceptable for POF. But in CIC website there is this paragraph: How much money should you bring? It is a good idea to research how much it costs to live in the place where you plan to settle in...

Hello all - We are required to provide 15,143 cad for two people (I and my wife). I had 16,100 cad in my account but my wife transferred 9000 cad to my account recently. So, now I have more than the required amount in my account. Do I still have to get a gift affidavit signed by my wife?
