-For funds, I am planning to call my bank once I get the ITA as I believe it has to be dated after the ITA is sent

I'm curious, why do you believe it must be dated after the ITA it issued? Is this documented somewhere, or have you heard it from others? I also have a score of 478, and after the draw last week I requested a proof of funds letter from my bank. I was thinking if it was dated quite "near" to when I submit my application that it would be in good standing.

I read it somewhere, or watched a video where they specified that. Maybe someone with more experience on this can clarify.

According to the IRCC page, there is no specific date requirement on the Proof of Funds letter. Here is what they say (relevant part below):

Document requirements

• The applicant should provide an official letter(s) from one or more financial institutions that lists all current bank and investment accounts as well as outstanding debts, such as credit card debts and loans.
  • The letter(s) must be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution and must include the applicant’s name, the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and email address), the account numbers, the date each account was opened and the current balance of each account as well as the average balance for the past six months.

Obviously, there is a limit here because no one would accept a letter dated 6 months ago as proof of funds. I think having it dated as recently as possible is best. Mine was dated a few days before my ITA, but I applied very quickly after getting ITA.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

If I am drawn next week, I should be able to apply within a few days afterward. So that is the route I will plan to take as well. If I am not drawn, I'll probably get a new letter when/if I am drawn.

Hey guys.. for OINP nomination, does anyone know if the EE profile not getting expired in the next 3 months, is a criteria, in order to get invite??
My EE Profile expires on Aug 15th so any info on this would help..

No criteria like that but you have to be careful when profile expires and when OINP make draws so that you dont miss the chance to be nominated if you qualifies all condition. what if they make a draw on 16 aug and your profile is just expired and hence misses the draw. pls sort this out i would suggest

 

[MTharwat94]

Yes, I think thats a good idea, I, for instance, am not using a company I worked for because I couldn't get a letter because of covil, so I deleted them from my profile.

I have a question concerning the pr application post-ITA, everyone here mention that there’s a personal history section, however all the tutorials i see online for the pr application shows only the part where they require you to upload all your documents.
So i there another section for personal history post ITA ??

 

[Islander216]

Yes, you have a section for personal history for last 10 years or after you turned 18, whichever is more recent.

Do I need to include countries if I only had a connection there? Example: flew to Brazil, with a connection in Peru. Should I only include Peru in the list, with arrival and departure on the same day, even though I never left the airport?

You should try and get the letters from the bank now, it wouldn't cause any issue if it's dated few weeks before your ITA date. In fact, it will make the submission process faster.

You think is better to try to get an Letter from the bank right now with no ITA, but with high chances on getting it next all program draw.
Not sure why I have it in my mind, perhaps read somewhere, that the proof of funds should be dated after ITA. I might be wrong though, and you can have one that is a few days older than the ITA.

This is not true. Ideally letters should not be very old like 3-4 months earlier than submission day but can be taken before ITA.

Do you think someone on 468 has a chance in upcoming draws?

No, you don't need to include countries where you were in transit for a short period. Only if you entered the country and stayed a certain period there.

The list of countries you've visited would go in your travel history section.

I'll complete my master degree by mid August and then get it ECA ASAP. My crs will be 476 before my birthday in Nov, and only 471 after. Do i stand a good chance to get ITA in the near future with the recent draw at 478? I'm in FSW.
Thanks a ton!

Hang in there because it's just a couple more rounds before it get to this score. We'll be fine.
