HI legal falcon. Thank you for your support to all members of this forum.

Ive been reading this forum for a whie. I've understood there are differences between the processing of FSW-O and FSW-I.
The thing is me and my wife are coming to Canada in mid August. We both applied and were granted an open work permit for me and she is coming with a study permit.
Also we received ano ITA in April and are 50 days passed the AOR. However I'm a bit confused about what to do because I think we are going good to receive our PPR when we are already in Canada....
What should be our course of action from now on? Should I reach out to ircc and tell theme that we have been granted our temporary status already? Should I tell them we are traveling to Canada and that we already bought our tickets? We even have rented an apartment and the contract starts from the first of August, so I can say I have already an address in Canada. Or should I just wait until I get there and then call them? Should I mention anything to the immigration officer when we arrive at the airport?
I guess I am very confused. What would you do if you where in my shoes?

Thank you so much!

Please guide on this PoF query

I just got the balance certificate from the branch and the certificate is not having the finer details mandated by the CIC.
The only information mentioned in the certificate is:
  • My Name
  • A/C number
  • Type of Account
  • Current balance
  • Bank's Name & Address/Email etc
The other asked details like since the time I have been holding this account, any loans details etc are not listed.
As per the bank personnel, this is the standard balance certificate given to all account holders for visa or any other purpose.
I am attaching my 6 months salary details and 6 months bank statement along with this balance certificate in the PoF section.
Is there need of any additional precaution measure from my end for smooth document processing?

Thank you.

Hi, I have a bit troubling situation. I submitted for ITA and received my AOR on 10th July (ITA received for CRS of 496) .
But recently I got to know that the 15 points which I claimed for a sibling in Canada seems unacceptable since the sibling I mentioned was actually my cousin (I misapprehended the term sibling, my fault). I did not know this definition at the time of application. However, my aunt (mother's sister) is also a permanent resident in Canada who is sponsored under her son (my cousin whom I mentioned in the PR application since he had good income records). I mentioned the PR status of my aunt too in a letter under relative proof.

However my CRS score without the points for sibling in Canada is also in a good standing as 496-15 (481) which was way above the cut off score (Draw #66 - 449) during the ITA draw which I received letter.
Would my PR application be rejected directly? Or can I send a case specific inquiry mentioning the situation and attaching my Aunt as the relative instead of cousin and asking them consider processing the application reducing the 15 points? The current status of my application is medicals passed and BG Check (IP 1).
AOR - 10th July
Meds Passed - 25th July
IP 1 - 25th July

And so far no new progress :( :( :(

Just get your Bank Statements notarized, in case the Banks don't sign and stamp them. Else, you are good to go!

I went again and requested the detailed balance certificate from someone else. He made the edits and now A/c open date and loan details are also coming in the certificate. The certificate is stamped and signed as well.
Will attach 6 months bank statements as well. I guess these details will suffice.

Hi LegalFalcon,

Can you pls guide if not having Surname/Lastname on your Passport pose any problem while applying PR under spouse sponsor?
If someone born in India having Canada PR wants to sponsor his/her spouse (getting married after got PR) and the spouse doesn't has his/her surname on Passport or other govt documents - is it problematic scenario?

Is there any other way one PR holder can sponsor the visa of his/her spouse?

Thank you.

Dear @legalfalcon and all seniors, I have a concern regarding Police Certificate.
I need to provide PCC from Netherlands (i lived there for 2 years). According to CIC website, I don't need to submit this PCC upon e-APR but instead, submit a paper that states: “I am applying from a country that requires an official request letter from IRCC to get a police certificate.”
and CIC will send me a letter of request after AOR because CIC says that the Dutch government won't issue PCC without that request letter.
However, right after ITA, I applied for Dutch PCC by giving them my ITA and they issued me the PCC already. QUESTION: Should I just upload the PCC in my e_APR or should I wait for IRCC to send me the request letter? I just thought that may be uploading PCC now might be seen as unacceptable?
Please advise. Thanks ya.

Dear Legal Falcon,

I was sent an Additional Documents Request yesterday in mycic Account and given 7 days to provide the documents. There is no place available in my Application to upload the documents - what should I do?
I have already sent a Technical query. Anyone faced the same issue? How to resolve this?

I have 6 days left now.

Dear @legalfalcon

Just when I thought the ordeal of documentation is over and I was about to submit the application today, I have hit one more issue with the bank letter and statement:
1) I have the bank letter that includes everything except bank's email address (phone and fax are there). The problem is that the current balance is there but the average monthly balance has not been mentioned.

2) I therefore requested for a bank statement, but the statement they printed out for me is without stamp/signature. Since the statement says "This is a computer generated statement and does not require a stamp/signatures", the manager declined to stamp it.

3) On top of that, my bank statement account shows an older address, and also mentions "Your National Identity Document has expired therefore kindly provide the bank with a new one at your earliest". I have already provided them an updated National Identity Document copy, but they say it takes days for their system to update and asked me not to worry about this one sentence as the embassies have nothing to do with this and are only concerned about the statement itself.

I find myself in a very confused situation. Need your guidance please. :( Thanks.

Thank you LegalFalcon!!
Can you please clarify on being careful on where I provide it?

I uploaded it in 'spouse education' slot of document upload page.

Also please advise on how do I rectify the photograph situation?
Just make sure that you do not get your CRS score or MEC reduced. That is all

For the photograph, you can send a CSE,

Thank you so much!
IRCC us aware that you have temp visa issued as your UCI is the same for both. For UCI and EE number see - https://www.getgcms.com/blog/uci-application-number-use-requesting-gcms-notes/

When you move to Canada, you will have to notify IRCC of the change in address. Having more than 2 applications does not make any difference. You being in Canada, on any legal status, will not impact your applications.

However, by notifying the address change you will have your LVO changed from your home country to Canada, and when you receive the PPR, you will send your passport to Ottawa.

If the bank refuses to provide you the details asked, you can then write a LoE and in that mention this and attach all papers through which those details can be met.
