Funds are held in INR however in POF I have submitted funds in INR as well as equivalent CAD ..

So I think conversion rate will apply..

But as you pointed out that the rate on the date of AOR will apply then I'm safe I think.. there wasn't big difference at that time..

I'm not sure that's accurate. I haven't seen anything indicating that some exchange rate is "locked in" on AOR. We have to have $X CAD all the way up until landing. Canada only cares about CAD, not USD or INR or anything else.

If the minimum you require and declare is $20,000 for example, that's $20,000 CAD. They expect you to maintain access to the liquid equivalent of $20k CAD. If the INR exchange rate goes down and it's only worth $15,000, you would not be in compliance, because they want to know that on the day you land in Canada, you can exchange whatever you have for the $20k.

I just used $20k as an example since it's easier to type rather than their minimums.

How's it good thing??

I didn't notice previous UCI but I think it began with CAN.. But now it begins with number only as stated above..!

the number starting with CAN## is a temporary UCI number which is assigned once you submit your application. If they changed from CAN## TO DIGITS then it means they have started your background check or initial processing.
That means its good thing

 

[pranitha]

why would you say that?

CANXX.. UCI number is now updated to the one that I have on my Work Permit. Similarly for my wife whose Work Permit was refused last year, her UCI is updated to the one she had in her refusal letter.

UCI is called unique identification number. it is like an ID number assigned to each person in canadian database, irrespective of their application or visa status. they assign UCI number when they create an entry in canadian database.
yes, your wife and everyone will have the same number irrespective of anything. thats how they identify each applicant.

I understand UCI, my question was - 'It’s a good thing' as in? does it specify any stage/action..

YaY!! that's my assumption

It's extremely common for US Citizens to not even have a passport.

I was once in a Walmart in Ohio, buying alcohol. The cashier had to get her manager to verify that a passport was a valid proof of age because SHE HAD LITERALLY NEVER SEEN ONE

 

[RayBear]

On second thought, I think it doesn't matter when the med info is submitted.
Because the IRCC views all applications by AOR. The info will already be there when the IRCC opens my application.

I would concur with this. I did my medical December 2nd. My ITA was Dec 12th, AOR December 19th. Still nothing yet, so i'd say it's all about AOR.

People who work at Walmart don't make very much money. They're very unlikely to be world travelers, and as such, very unlikely to have a passport. You don't need any ID to travel between states (you do for driving but each state's ID is honored in the other states for that).

I'm not surprised she'd never seen one in person.

Hi
My AOR is Dec 18.. nothing yet.. i guess candidates with dec 07 got their medical updates

 

[RayBear]

I grew up in poverty and paid for my first flight to Canada working an under the counter job for far below the legal minimum wage for two years whilst I was at school =P

Where there's a will!

But I remember being utterly baffled (It wasn't that she was questioning the validity of the passport, so much as the fact of whether it was valid age ID. I was like "IT HAS MORE INFORMATION THAN A DRIVING LICENSE EVER COULD AND IS SO MUCH HARDER TO FAKE WTF")

Hi all,
After getting our 600 points from BC PNP Express Entry, we applied for Federal Express entry on Dec 5 with overall score of around 1010. Today we got a message in our IRCC inbox. It says
Final decision Your application was cancelled because it was incomplete. Check your messages below for details.
When I click on the help icon (?),however, it says

If you see that your application was cancelled, it means that before we made a final decision, we:

• made a mistake and had to recreate your application
• found that you do not need the status/document you applied for.

If you think we should not have cancelled your application, let us know by using the IRCC webform.

On the other hand, the inbox has that a pdf in it that says:

We have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of a complete application as described in sections 10 and 12.01 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. Your application is rejected for being incomplete. Specifically, your application does not include the following elements: - Police Certificate: o The Police certificate from .......(my wife's home country)........was not provided. This document is required based on address/background history from 2008/12/05 to 2016/02/06. It appears you resided six months or more in a row in that country. NOTE: You did not provide a letter of explanation and proof of submission for this Police Certificate. Police certificates need to be a scan of the original police certificate(s) in colour. Certified true copies and unauthorized copies are unacceptable and will result in the application being rejected as incomplete.

This is very weird because we uploaded our police certificate. The date (2008/12/05 to 2016/02/06) is also strange because my wife came to Canada 3 years ago and she has gone back to her home country only one time for one month(last summer).
Does anyone has any idea what the messages mean and what we should do?
Thanks

This thread is for people who have gotten an Invitation to Apply (ITA), submitted an application and had the application successfully Acknowledged (AOR, hence the title).

It appears you are in the pre-ITA phase. I suggest you make a new thread in the Express Entry forum.
