Guys pleas help urgently

Do I have to actually print out and sign a letter of Explaination before uploading it?

A prompt answer will be appreciated!

I know. And we are hoping for the next, hence Ray of Hope 83rd draw o_O:D:)

Check the 84th thread on Wednesday for the 83rd results.

For a sec, I thought 83rd draw had happened and I posted the wrong data o_O

True, watching this for a good whole year and more, the best thing to do is, keep hopes and energies at its highest, stay positive and updated, let it take its own course and carry on with life.
What I am doing is to think for next year meanwhile I will get improved IELTS from CLB 9 to CLB 10 and will also try to improve spouse score for the same but it will only improve the CRS by 15 points which is not much but atleast will be focused on improving rather than just sitting idle and hoping for scores to come down...

For POF - In my case, I have the necessary fund as Fixed Deposits in one of my bank accounts. I also have other bank accounts and a home loan account. Is it necessary to also get the statement from such other banks too?

Hi everyone,
Entered pool with CRS 433 last week. Maxed out with my IELTS score, I'm unsure if the cut-off will ever come down till my score. Any suggestions/predictions for me?
Also, can someone please advise as to how can I go for PNP path for Ontario. Do i need to create a new profile?

fix deposit will suffice as long as the required funds are there inflation adjusted.

Good going Sandeep. I am at my max, French language is among many other priorities, so is studies, but will take time, age will further plummet my score, but I shall wait and watch. Miracles do happen. So staying hopeful.

Is there any hope if my score is just 394 ?
Scored IELTS CLB 9 & 10

One of the most funny part is, the education assessment only counts colleges/degrees. Not the current world's professional certifications.

Thanks for the response. But my doubt is - I do have a home loan (which is a debt) with a different bank. Is it a matter of concern to them or CIC does not care as long as I show their required proof of funds?

Extracting the words from the CIC website "For proof, you must get official letters from any banks or financial institutions where you are keeping money" and followed by "list outstanding debts such as credit card debts and loans" and then followed by "include, for each current bank and investment account"

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

True, it doesn’t consider, and regarding hopes, it’s for free. So Stay positive and keep hoping.
Do try the province way, and explore all possible options to better your chances even if score is just 394.
