Hi guys,
I got my ITA just last week. I filled out all the forms and got my document checklist, which didn't consist of much. I claimed 2 jobs which counted towards my Canadian experience under work history section, and the rest under personal history - therefore i only got asked for reference letters from the two i claimed in work history, as well as some other general stuff.
My co-worker has just applied for her PR under CEC with a lawyer, and the lawyer asked her for detailed reference letters from ALL her jobs for the past 10 years (even though she didn't claim them), plus proof of funds in the form of bank statements (although she stated $0 as her funds and she is currently working in Canada, just like I am). As well as her police checks and all her previous engagement with IRCC, like ITA letter, work permit, study permit - whatever she's ever received. Seems like a bit much?
I'm obviously not an expert, but do I REALLY need all this to apply? I'm only being asked for medical, education, letters from 2 jobs and that's it pretty much. No police checks, no proof of funds. I do want to make my application as detailed as possible, though. Just wondering if it's normal to submit all that or if these lawyers are just making sure they're getting their money's worth by overdoing it?
Thanks!
