I am preparing the post ITA documents before submitting my e-APR. Most of the new applicants have many doubts in these documents and I am no different.
I intend to have this thread as the one stop solution for all post ITA related documentation query and would like healthy response from sr. members to resolve our queries.
Now after starting the post ITA application and filling up the basic information details (some of these details already filled in and taken from the EE profile), the applicant is presented with the mandatory documentation for the e-APR application.
The mandatory documentation and the doubts I have about the submission are below.
Forum members are requested to kindly provide their expertise while answering the queries for the benefit of rest of us.
Document 1: Passport/Travel Documents (Multiple)
a. As per my understanding, one needs to provide the colored scans of the first & last page of their passport here. Please confirm.
b. Do we need to notarize these scans before uploading?
Document 2: Proof of Medical Exam
a. CIC has given a template in which we need to provide the info. The designated doctors can perform the medical exam and provide the full report and also can give info in the CIC prescribed format which we need to upload after taking the colored scan. Please confirm.
b. The medical certificate needs to have the stamp (hospital/doctor) and sign(doctor).
b. Do we need to notarize these scan before uploading?
Document 3: Education (Diplomas/Degrees) (Multiple)
a. Do we need to upload the semester wise mark sheets of the degree or the final degree colored scan with result will suffice here?
b. Do we need to scan and upload the ECS validation sheet as well?
b. Do we need to notarize these scans before uploading?
Document 4: Employment Records
a. Colored scans of the Proof of employment on the company letter head that the person is part of said organization since said date. This proof will be signed by the HR. Does this proof need to be stamped as well?
What if the proof is digitally signed and not stamped?
b. A separate notarized document giving details of the duties performed and the designation held in the organization. This will be signed by manager or colleague along with their company id and visiting card.
Since companies do not provide details in the CIC prescribed format so this needs to be done. This will be explained in the LoE as well.
c. Any other document (apart from above) to be shown for the employment record?
d. Do we need to get the PoE letter notarize as well?
Document 5: Police Certificates (Multiple)
a. Colored scans of the Police clearance certificate. The template is based on the country/region you are applying from and can vary.
b. Do we need to notarize these scans before uploading?
Document 6: Proof of Means of Financial Support (Multiple)
a. Scans of the 6 months bank statement.
b. Can I also show the scans of all the FDs/MFs or other time bound deposits done on my name?
c. How to show the proof of financial support from family members (Father/Mother). I am aware the one needs to get the money shown as gift from parents or family members but not sure how to go about it. Please guide.
d. Do we need to get these scans notarized as well?
Document 7: Digital Photo
I think this one is no brainer and one needs to provide the color digital photo in the prescribed format and DPI resolution. Please let me know in case there is any catch here.
I know these are a lot of questions but the truth is every applicant has these questions and once these are solved, I am sure 90% of the ITA documentation related doubts will be cleared automatically. I sincerely hope that if Sr. members provide in-depth details on these queries, we might get this post as sticky for everyone else benefits.
Looking forward for the guidance and support as always..
