Updated Fund requirement in June 2009! Provincial Nominee Instruction Guide!

[Aliens3]

Honestly dont know what to say looking at that. Since based on those boxes, we dont even need work experience and education/training/qualification when we all know this is professional(h1b) category for Ainp and Ainp/CiC wont approve immigrant visa for people who dont have education, work and funds proof. Rest is our individual understanding and maybe someone who already applied and received can say better. 

wow... you don't seem to be as "kool" as your id would suggest.
here's an unsolicited advice - do not over-complicate matters. look at the boxes under P in the checklist and "only" submit what is required. however, if you feel a compelling need to submit proof of funds... go ahead - no one's stopping ya

also, cic does not need proof of "work experience and education/training/qualification" because alberta has already taken care of verifying this requirement when they "nominated" you, hence the name "Provincial Nominee", hence the different columns for FSW and PNP on the checklist.

I second that

I think it will depend on Officer as Buffalo checklist is also authentic.

If ur a Provincial nominee applying for PR,,then definitely u dont need proof of funds upon application. A freind of mine who applied for PR last feb. and got approved last month, didnt include any proof of funds in his application to Buffalo.

It was clear on the checklist that Provincial nominees are not required to submit any proof of funds in their PR application.

You said last feb means feb 2008 or feb 2009? Please clear? last feb means It took him 18 month to get approve?

Yes please clarify, Feb of 08 or 09 and when you say approved, you mean received nomination cert or PR? Thanks.

Sorry guys,

anyway it was february of this year.

[tessv106]

He applied for PR last Feb. 2009, got his PR approval last month.His Provincial nominne certificate arrived last january 2009.

And again,,he didnt include proof of funds in his PR application to Buffalo.

Actually, if not for his case, i myself had doubts too,,but thank GOD, the approval of his PR application made it really clear to me. And this is good news for us.

So to everyone, GODSPEED

I may be a bit naive or conservative here. Irrespective of whether it is required to show funds availability or not, if one doesn't have the minimum funds CIC mentions below, how do we expect to survive in Canada if we dont get a job when we land? Especially as AINP applicants, having stayed in USA for a while, shouldnt we have saved at least some $$ to survive say for a few months atleast?

Number of
Family Members Funds Required
(in Canadian dollars)
1 $10,833
2 $13,486
3 $16,580
4 $20,130
5 $22,831
6 $25,749
7 or more $28,668

While applying for CIC we do not need proof of funds. However, when entering Canada (Landing) we need to show these as this H1B stream is PR without job offer. Its logical though for FSW and PNP-H1B stream, Canada Gov wants to see the survivability of the entrant. Other Provincial nominee programs do not care about this as one will have a job offer or already working there.

And about savings "No comments" :). Yes as Manny says "we should have"  but in my case "I don't have". I have loans as I had issued debt against academic capital. But seriously, yes I WILL have required funds when landing, whenever it happens.
