Hi, What happens to files when some particular VO is on leave, say 15 days. Any idea?
Simply there will be no activity until the officer resume from vacation.(My best guess)

Louth and 9j and others, really need your words.

After we received our PPR, our VO sent another message questioning our POF. They're asking for bank history and how we accumulated our POF. Written explanation and supporting documents, we need to comply until end of this month.

Now our problem is that we needed to withdraw large amount of money from our account to pay our relatives..it was only borrowed money.
We planned to bring our POF from our "end of service award" upon resigning from our respective jobs.

We assumed that after getting our MR everything will be fine with regards to our POF. But now that they are asking for an updated bank account, what can we do? We don't want to get refused in the end.

We plan to deposit again the required POF amount before we ask for bank statement of account, could it be possible?

Please advise, badly need your honest opinions...so help us God!

hi sodapop, i think really a little bit of luck ran out of you in the last minute, but it's not the end of it. i think you can still salvage your application, i am giving three options in bold which i feel make sense in this situation - if you accummulate your required funds again and give them the latest bank statement (be sure to exclude the period you withdrew the funds), meaning you show the statement from the period you re-deposit the funds. The CIC might object to it and ask for something like the last 6 mnths, so a better idea would be to deposit the money and then approach the bank for a letter saying the funds have been lying in your account for the past six months. If you have good relations with the bank, they might do it if you explain your situation. If they refuse, then get a letter simply saying the closing balance in the account as on current date. But, you should make sure the CIC doesn't work it out that the money was withdrawn. Good luck bro, mmgration is all about your luck. Sometimes, things like this happen, but believe me and pray to God, you'll get your visa. :) :)

Hi guys,

Med done. July 11
Med result and sent to LVO July 18

Sent email July 25 to LVO asking if they receive my result already. July 27, replied received saying they got the result and it's already on a final review.

Sent email again Aug 3, clarifying where is my application if it is still in the MEDICAL section or its in the VISA OFFICER, replied received today Aug 7, saying that it's already in the VISA OFFICER..

My question is how long it will take to know if my visa is approved or denied? What is the time frame? I live here in Norway applying under LCP..

thank you

Hi sodapop,

This is a difficult one sodapop, quite unusual too as it is very rare for VO to request updated PoF so late in the process. The only thing I can think of, is for you to get the money back into your account ASAP and try to state an 'unorthodox' means as the source of the fund e.g sales of jewelries, gold etc but you are still going to have to explain why the money was transferred out of you account after the initial submission to the VO. Quite frankly, I don't have an answer for that at the minute. Hopefully someone will come along with a useful idea.

My best wishes

Firstly , you can not claim that the money in your account was borrowed.
When did you put the" huge sum "into your account?
Just a thought, could you claim this money was given to you by your parent???I guess CiC will require a proof from your parent.
Not really sure about this :'(.
Hopefully someone with similar experience will come through soon.

In the past when you borrowed money, you must have given some proof, like sale of Jewely/car, savings, etc. Do send them again. Don't tell them that you have borrowed the money. If you didn't send the proof initially, make some proof like sale of Jewely, savings, etc. Best of Luck.

I guess, this case of ours is really unusual. We didn't declare that the money was borrowed, it's just a mutual understanding among us and our relatives that after we got our medical request, we will return it to them. That was what we did. Actually, we just opened a bank account in our home country just for the sake of our application. We opened it last 2011 when we were applying. Our bank is here in our present residence-Saudi, because we're living here for 6 years now. That too, is one of their questions...Why opened an account just recently?

They are asking for the history of our bank account and how we accumulated such fund. But the bank statement itself, there was nothing written particularly that they need an updated one...just a bank history....is that the statement of account also?

We have gathered some supporting documents from my husband's office regarding the yearly bonuses that he got since he started working there...thru those, we think, would suffice the amount on our POF.

Our only fear is that the VO might question why we withdrawn such huge amount and why is it only now that we are going to return it....

We feel total scare of this.... ??? :'( :'( :'( :'(

As of the moment, our passports are on-hold and we're still waiting for our agent's response.

More advise and idea are very much appreciated...please enlighten us.

Thanks to those who shared their thoughts!

You should write them an explanation letter that u have money in shape of car,prize bonds, gold bars & other currency. It will definitely works, also write the total amount in Canadian Dollars in the explanation letter. Write them that you sale & purchase these to have good profits, instead of keeping the money in bank for a longer period.

Best of Luck !

thanks, we thought of that also. They didn't ask for the updated bank account, just an explanation of our accumulated fund.
So If I get it right, we're just to prepare the explanation...no need to provide our bank statement...?

Hi Sodapop,

Any response from your agent??Which bank statement did you submit at the application stage???
I reckon your agent should have some good advice to offer in this circumstance .In my opinion , a very good and

convincing explanatory letter with a six month bank statement will do the the job for your.
Just like every other challenges you have had with this application, this one will also go away and you will eventually receive your visas :) :)

Dear Friends,

I was observing this forum for a long time but did not join it. I want some help from the people who have reached to their medicals stages so far. I would be extremely grateful if you answer the following questions:

1- When you received your medicals, did you receive it by courier or by normal mail
2- This is the question to those to whom they have requested the PPR. Do they also asked for the proof of funds when they asked for the PPR 1 and 2?

Waiting for the help from all of you.

Dear sodapop,

Could you tell me what is your "eCAS Status" at the moment? Additionally, what are the initials of your visa officer? Furthermore, I read elsewhere that after you received your PPR, the visa officer sent you another message for the proof of funds after 3 days. Have you already sent your passports to the visa office or still holding them with you and intend to send them with the letter/documents explaining the source of your funds?

Thanks

Hi, our ecas is still "in process" and our IO I think is MRU. Yes, 3 days after the PPR is the additional message from our VO regarding our POF. When they sent the additional message, we already sent our passports to our agency. But those will be forwarded to our VO the moment we comply to the latest request of our VO.

Thanks too!
