Hello Friends,
I am trying to complete my OINP application these days. I request senior members to please answer my two questions.
  1. There are many stamps in my passport in Arabic language. Do these have to be translated and notarised?

  2. Secondly, supporting reference letter on plain paper from my ex- boss has to be notarised or not. My present boss has refused to give me a referenceletter.
    I shall feel highly obliged, if I get early experiencedreply as I am trying to complete my application on the earliest possible. Thanks.
I haven't faced the situation,however I feel notarising will increase the credibility of the document.
IRCC (CIC) itself asks for many documents to be notarised (like translation of marriage certificate etc) which implies that CIC gives importance & legal validity to a notarised document...(though it is merely the facts again stated under oath & certified by an attorney in another country )...
further,nowhere CIC says that an ex boss's reference letter suffices in place of 'employee reference letter issued by employer' for which CIC specifically lays out the conditions such as what all it should contain...
however we have learned that the next best alternative (what you've collected )is also accepted by CIC and hence,while presenting such a document it is safer to keep it notarised so as to give it more legal credibility in the eyes of the processing officer

Hi,

Part of it can be in your spouse's account. He will just need to sign a notarised affidavit giving his full consent to the use of these funds for immigration purposes.

All the best

Hello,
Long time lurker, posting for the first time. Me and my wife both scored CLB9 in yesterday's ielts result. Got lucky the first time itself. Will be joining the pool as soon as the TRF arrives from bc. My wife would be the primary applicant, with an CRS of 438.

The forum has been a great source of information and encouragement all this time. I hope everyone receives their ITA soon. I would miss the next draw for sure. Won't be getting my TRF by then.

Looking forward to the next day of hope thread. Thanks once again everyone for their valuable information and support.

Cheers!

Hey all,
For POF, if my brother has transferred money to my account recently, in order for me to have sufficient funds(and it is a good amount, almost as much as there already was in my account), then what all documents can I attach to show that I have full authority over this money.

Also, I have two accounts, one salary and the other normal savings account. Need I get a signed letter from the managers from both these banks?

Are FDs and Mutual fund investments under my name also counted as POF?

Thanks Lino82.It is clear to me now. As I have understood, since the ex boss is now located in a foreign country, his letter should be notarised by an attorney in that country only that too under oath by way of an affidavit. In my situation, I feel it will be too much to ask ex boss to get it notarised.Please tell me if this supporting letter carry some weight at least without Notarization as it will carry his phone number, email ID, the company he is presently working and his availability to contact him for further information.

I'm convinced of your explanation & genuinity of the reason that you put forward ...I hope the CIC official will feel the same way too....
but anyway,no harm in politely asking ur ex boss if it is possible to get it done..we generally underestimate people & how generous everyone are,given a chance (talking from my experience regarding my experience reference letter)..
so give it a shot,ask him if it'd be possible to do so,and even otherwise if if you are supplying with all the other contact details of ur ex boss,then I feel it should be fine....
(I'd approve your case if I were the CIC official... however these days Oinp ppl will be getting many such letters as their documentation is stringent and I'm sure each and every profile will carry such letters...so we can't predict their mindset...
so give notarizing a try,if not go ahead with what you have got....
All the best to you....:)

the data of 809 and 1082 for CRS ranges respectively for 441-450 and 431-440 respectively is as of June 22, not June 28.

CRS 431-440:
July 6 - 1576
June 22 - 1082

The gap between June 22 and July 6 is 2 weeks, so (1576-1082)/2 = 494/2 = 247 weekly average.

The draw happened on June 28, but the data revealed on that day was as of June 22nd, not June 28th.

Please let me know if any confusion in my explanation.
Hmm so whats your prediction?
