Yep. It is actually overseas procedures 06. Also:
But this is normally the case only for the AEO stream. But you may be able to argue that since the job offer already exist, that this could also apply to your case. ALSO:
which may make that impossible. It is a very trick situation indeed.

I guess there is no harm in trying. I won't be a smart ass though and point at section X in operating manual 6 (which is what my boyfriend is advising me to do...ho those blissfullly oblivious Canadians ;)
I think I will simply ask the if they can take it in consideration or not. If not I will withdraw my application. So near the ned and so far at the same time...

Thanks Tyrus! Helpful as always. You really deserve that PR! A matter of a few months for you now

The thing is, she is not yet refused on the ground of insufficient funds, so it is still probably worth trying. Though obviously, while waiting for them to reconsider the LMO, she should probably try to prepare for a completely new application as well. I'm still wondering though, why exactly would the lawyer tell her that there is a risk of misrepresentation if she does it.

Yes that's a good question. I have no idea why he told me that. That really ruined my mood for the rest of the afternoon. What he was saying was that since I did not have the funds anymore then I was misrepresenting myself. But I HAD those funds...back in May when I applied.

I would actually do that, state the paragraphs and page of the OP6. The more you show that you know what you talking about the less risk you have of being misjudged! You will get there too my dear. I'm sorry I can't help more!
 
Here: A39 - Financial

A foreign national is inadmissible for financial reasons if they are or will be unable or unwilling to support themselves or any other person who is dependent on them, and have not satisfied an officer that adequate arrangements for care and support, other than those that involve social assistance, have been made

Obtaining evidence for A39
The officer may obtain evidence for A39 by collecting:
• statutory declaration supported by evidence of statements made to an officer including evidence of the person’s current financial situation; the likelihood that they will have access to funds; and what arrangements, if any, have been made for their care and support. This evidence may consist of bank statements, bank books, letters from employers, pay cheque stubs and testimony from friends or relatives;
• documentary evidence of an individual’s dependence on social assistance or failure to provide for him/herself and/or any dependants. This evidence may consist of letters from the social services authorities (indicating that the individual is in receipt of social assistance), benefit payment cheque stubs, cancelled receipts, etc.;
• where relevant, the hearings officer must be prepared to establish that the person concerned is not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident. To establish that the person concerned is not a Canadian citizen, an admission by the person directly or documented through a statutory declaration is considered sufficient evidence. A letter from CPC Sydney stating that there is no record that the person concerned is a citizen of Canada is also sufficient. To establish that the person concerned is not a permanent resident of Canada, an admission by the person directly or documented through a statutory declaration is considered sufficient
2008-08-08 41ENF 1 Inadmissibility
evidence. A Query Response Centre (QRC), CIC, document indicating no confirmation of permanent residence is also sufficient.

This will also help other people that have proof of funding request.

Oh you men! Real show-offs! Justi kidding :D
Alright I'll try it out. I know I will..one day. Worst case scenario is I will marry my boyfriend. I cannot complain either:I found a position as a prof before finishing the thesis.
Thanks again! You've been very helpful

Utopie, I was reading all your stuff. May I know what program you are in and from what university you got your offer? And generally speaking if you had a very strong CV?
I am wondering if it is possible to get a permanent job offer as you got without being a permanent resident?
I've heard that it's so hard to get a job without PR.
 
Hi fellows,

My friend had a question regarding adaptability factor. His application recently got refused from CPP-O because of giving 0 point out of 10 in adaptability, However, he was given 5/10 in adaptability from CIO in Sydney. Have any of you faced this condition? and if so, what have you done?

Thanks

It is hard! I have a friend who has been looking for almost 2 years! I was shocked to get the job. I'm sending you a PM: I don't want to spam this thread.

Well, for my major, a lot of US educated PhDs got jobs as assistant professors here. They are mostly without PRs.

In contrast, all my senior fellows had PR at hand when they apply for jobs here.

They still end up going back to the home country.

I don't want to be negative, But you guys should give a look at this:
http://www.cbc.ca/shift/2013/02/01/generation-jobless/

Getting a professorship nowaday is almost a miracle, unless you want to move to smaller poorer countries with developing/growing higher education, like, surprise, Brazil, China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kwait.... :)

Also, new processing times:

CPP-ottawa now doubled. From 8 to 15 months.

and here we go...
If someone shows that they receive social benefits, the application is rejected.
What about when a DEPENDENT gets social benefits, while you still have the required funds?????


utopie: have you thought about just getting a post grad VISA (3 years in the case of a PhD) and apply to CEC after you've worked in Canada as a prof for 2 years?
I have a friend who did her post doc in Canada; she applied to CEC after I applied to FSW, and she already got her PR...

Anyway, I'm like you: so close, but still so far.
 
hi guys, a quick question. My funds are in Daily Interest Savings RSP of Canada Trust. Will the CIC accept this or do I need to transfer the amount to Regular Savings (with penalty)? Anyone has similar experience?

Would you be able to cash/debit the money whenever you decide? If yes, then it should be fine. I think the important criteria is "availability" of the money.

If you are using TD everyday savings account, then the money is available anytime from ATM machine, or transferable to chequing account (like mine). I don't think it does make any problem.
