Some times 5 times of the requirement, sometimes 2 times of that, sometime it was 25K for a single applicant....

In that case this is definitely a tricky one.. If I recall correctly, IRCC had asked us to provide documents for all savings, bank accounts etc.
So if I provide all of them, I may be well above the minimum requirement and if I don't, am not giving complete documents

I got a question to fellow August applicants.
When do our files go to Local Visa office after SS or before SS and what is done at Local Visa Office. Finally, is Local Visa Office same as secondary office which in my case is Abu Dhabi

That’s incorrect buddy. POF should be atleast minimum amount but maximum can be anything. I have seen people declaring more than 20000 Canadian dollars and have also received ppr without review required.

If you think logically, it’s good for their country if you carry more money. You would be spending those money there which is beneficial for them.

Review required for POF is usually when you don’t have proper documents or bank statements or the amount is less then mentioned on cic site.

Hope this clears any doubts you have.

That's what I thought as well. And hence I was wondering what can be the logic for flagging excess funds.

According GCMS notes last update of my application was on Oct 4, this day my file was transferred to Warsaw. Does it mean they didn't touch it after that ?or when application is being processed outside Canada all updates are not reflected in GCMS?

That could be the case. Our file has been idle since the transfer. All updates are always reflected in the GCMS notes regardless of where the file is.

Have you submitted docs to rectify the reason of review required ?

I can't answer the first question. But the LVO can be both, depending on when the file is transferred. If transferred at the end, it's for the PPR E-Mail to be issued and the VO would be secondary. If the file is transferred in the beginning (like in our case), it's then the primacy VO.

Don’t worry for excess funds. As per my knowledge and few posts of senior members, they don’t care about more amount for POF.

Hi guys...
Just one quick question regarding case notes .. I have ordered my set on December 30th via "LP Toronto" - maybe you know them .. they are immigration office firm and also they have a YT channel with many vids. Anyway, I'm just a bit curious .. did any of you tried ordering case notes through them? In section C of the consent form, they put an email address of gcmsnow.com - obviously, they are doing this through them .. Any experience with these guys also?

No exactly. for POF you only need to provide docs for the money which is required and any mortgages or credits etc. with the same account. they dont ask detail for each and every account you hold.

Ok .. That explains the story a bit. Dont mind, but for POF well above what is required raises flags (for certain countries it surely does). Again I am not an expert and explaining by the past cases in the forum. Rest assured, it should impact you much. Just to be safe, upload a renewed POF and explain accordingly ( suggested in the previous post as well) .

Hey, could you please elaborate on this.
Want to understand why would POF well above what is required may become a problem.

Incorrect. RR for POF with excess funds is when your account balance is not supported by your sources of income such as salaries for work experience and employment history ; or from cash deposits and large value transfers ; or if the proofs are simply not as per required format (mostly in case of FDs which is a contingent asset).

It can take anywhere from 6 months to 8 months these days. Also, if you are under screening it might take around 12-18 months.

What do you mean by screening exactly?
& what if eligibility recommended pass

 

[Micky345]

& what if eligibility recommended pass

By screening I meant security screening which is done by external agency and is only done for people with extensive travel history or they randomly put you under it but it’s not for all applications.

Regarding eligibility, if it is passed then your timeline would be mostly six months or before that. If it is recommended then it will take slight longer time then other normal applications, as it requires review by senior officer and your application will be waiting in queue, delaying your processing time. What is worst is if eligibility is review required. In this case, eligibility will be reviewed again and you will be asked for additional documents or application can also be rejected for inaccurate documents. And this takes maximum time.

Hope it’s clear!

OMG, no I showed just 15% more than required. Don't think this is too much. Probably, RR is for another reason. But agent didn't mention the reason
