Re: How relevant it is to send this kind of documents?

From what we got given utopie rejection, offer of employment after application will not give you any extra points.

I kind of don't need points. I have 76 points. I thought that might strengthen my application or so. Does that make sense?

Re: How relevant it is to send this kind of documents?

I think it doesn't hurt if you mail CPP Ottawa a copy of your contracts and let them know that you are about to start a new job (after completing PhD). It will not give you additional points, but will give a good impression that you are becoming economically established in Canada, which they want to see in new immigrants. Just my thought.

or let me rephrase my question... At any measure, does it hurt to sent those materials?

agreed.

agreed.

It's not going to hurt, but what he has to keep in mind is the fact that you would still need to show proof of funds. Any changes to your situation that will improve your chance (especially when it comes to eligibility) will never be taken into account (though unfairly, they usually consider changes that will negatively impact your chance).

Thanks indusvision. This is my very same thought. BTW, I still need one a half years to wrap up my PhD and the company is absolutely OK with that, would Ottawa be OK with that too?

What do you think guys? what do you think u think utopie?

Thanks

Re: How relevant it is to send this kind of documents?

I think yes, Ottawa office should be ok with that.

Since you did not claim any points for arranged employment in your application, so sending this material will not affect your eligibility, but will rather give them a good impression that you have secured a job in Canada, which you have to do anyways after completing your PhD.

In the meantime, make sure you always keep required amount of funds in your bank account, so that if they ask for bank statement, it should not be a problem for you regarding proof of funds.

I am not quite sure what is the relationship between the new information and the bank statement! BTW, What is Ottawa's email in case I decided to send them the materials?

The fund requirement for those with a permanent job offer is waived. Of course, one must be in the possession of the offer before filing his application. BTW, sending it to Ottawa will not hurt you at all:

If one has a job offer, he is applying on a different FSW STREAM, not the FSW PhD anymore.

Yes, but if you have a permanent job offer, your fund requirement is waived even under the PhD stream:

"You do not have to show that you have these funds if you have arranged employment in Canada" as stated in the link above.

I think I do need to have the LMO if I wanted to apply under the FSW general stream but I don't which making the issue of waiving the funds issue in jeopardy. I am just wondering why couple of you guys affirmed that I need to keep the bank account healthy, do you mean if I introduced this information they will automatically ask me for the bank statement? I think that there is no relationship! don't you agree?

They may or may not ask your for bank account activities, I don't think whether or not you notify them of your job offer would make a difference in this regard, but if they do ask you for one, and you don't have enough money, then you canNOT make the argument that you don't need to show proof of funds any more since you got the offer way after the submission of your application.

Did you anyone here send a RA work experience letter with his application package that is based on an award/scholarship (not RA limited hours contract)?

A FAQ would be great. I was thinking that something like this tool I cooked up reganmian .net /blog/2012/06/13/tag-extract-a-tool-to-automatically-restructure-textoutline-using-tags/ might be useful - not sure... I created a simple web interface, though it's not quite done yet reganmian . net/tagextract

we need to put a FAQ together. I will see if I start one with the other admins this weekend and invite other people in. Care must be taken when reading old posts.
