ITA 85th Draw

[Anthony Franklin]

Guys,

I have received ITA in the draw held on March 14, 2018. Just outlining herein below the list of documents to be submitted, please confirm if missed out on anything for everyone's ready reference and clarity -

Link for full information - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/apply-permanent-residence.html

1. Proof of funds -
Show bank accounts of principal applicant & spouse either held separately or jointly with the spouse (but the spouse should be moving to Canada along with the principal applicant).
Bank accounts held by someone who is not accompanying the applicants to Canada cannot be used.

2. Medical test -
Required for all people moving to Canada (including infants) - Indicative fees for adults is Rs. 4100/- & for infant is Rs. 1400/- per person in Mumbai

3. Work Experience Letters -
- To my understanding you need work experience letters for both principal applicant and spouse from your previous and current employers. The letter should clearly mention applicants current designation or designation at the time of leaving the job, joining date, leaving date, key responsibilities during the tenure and last drawn salary, etc.
- Some people have mentioned in some forums that spouse may not require to submit work experience letters if not claiming CRS points for their work experience (Not sure on this point though).

4. Police certificates -
- You need to submit police clearance certificates for every country, other than Canada, where you stayed for more than 6 months in a row.
- If you need one from the country where you currently live, it must have been issued within the last 6 months.
- If you need one from a country where you lived in the past, it must have been issued after you last lived in that country. If it has an expiry date and is now expired, include it. We will let you know if you need a new one.

Guys, please confirm if the list of documents mentioned above is correct.

Thanks & Regards,

My number is 0091 9789833165

Hi santhkum90 - I am however getting CRS points for my wife's work experience. I also don't want to disclose to my current employer that I am looking to immigrate. I can get a bonafide letter which specifies my designation, my tenure, my role (to a very brief extent) but will not specify things such as number of hours of work per week, additional benefits. Do you think it will work? If not, do you know of other ways to establishing work experience. I do have my payslips, original appointment letter, annual appraisal letters etc.

If you are claimimg points for your wife's Canadian Experience, then you should definitely submit the letter in the exact format mentioned by CIC. No.of hours or mentioning as "full-time" is a must in the letter and there is no way to go around it.

To be on the safe side, she should rewrite it. Just to prevent any delays.

I think you should be able to mention your kid in your personal information.

This would also mean that the money you’ll need for your Proof of Funds will increase by $3,361.


In addition, attach a Notorized Letter of Explanation about this when making your final submission. All is the best!

1. not too old of course (Think a couple of weeks should be fine)
2. Police certificate - 6 months (assuming you haven't left the country even once after getting the PCC)
3. Medical - 1 year (get medical done right at the end, like maybe a day or so before so that you have a lot of time on your hand to plan and get to Canada as medicals expire a year after they are done)

Do we need these medicals in Canada for something? If these are done for immigration purpose only then why do we care if they expire after 1 year ?

Reject the ITA. Update the application and wait to receive ITA again in the next draw.

Because the medicals have a direct impact on the date that the applicant will be given to finish the landing procedure.

In last 10 years I have done my Engineering, joined a job, left it to do MBA and rejoined another job. there were gaps of few months between each phase. How do i fill those gap?

That's fine, you are not required to provide proof of residence.

Sorry so should I show or not? Or should I just show my permanent residence for the whole duration from where I also have my Police Clearance Certificate
