No, wire transfer is banned!

Maybe you can ask your parents to take the money from bank and then give the money to someone who is coming to Canada.
You can send the proof of the transaction in your bank account in Iran and explain them that the money has been brought to you by a person coming from Iran.

Dude, Transfer it somehow by sarrafi. Then show your canadian and iranian bank account.

No one can bring more than $10k to Canada! I think the best is to do what hooman said, as Iranian he knows how to transfer the money legally.

aidina, as much as I would love to keep slandering CPP-Ottawa, that was actually a very good news. Who sent the email by the way? Was it FA01772?

Remember the case with MASOUD2011, who got similar email as you (regarding allaying officer's concern), but Ottawa was not convinced that the money was his, due to several large transfers that were going on his account after they made the request for POF.

In your case, they were just not convinced that the money is transferable. So do as hooman2012 said, transfer the money to a Canadian account to show its transferability, and you'll get your MR real soon.

Again, congratulations I believe you were the second applicant (after phdapplicant) to have overturned Ottawa's decision on selection factor

I went to the MP office today. The MP assistant called Ottawa regarding the error in my IELTS score evaluation.
They told her that I should send them an email an explain the situation. I have already done this.
The MP assistant told me that she will send an email to them in support of my application and will explain the problem with my IELTS evaluation.

Good luck The only 'potential' problem that I see here is the fact that this was the second IELTS that you took, and you took it way after the submission date. Let us all hope that they will accept any updates on IELTS scores between the date of submission and the date of assessment.

Thanks
Yes,you are right.
But the officer has mentioned in the decision email that according to the IELTS result on February 2, 2013 (which is my second IELTS test) I have received 12 points.
I will update you when then reply me.

I am thinking about it Hooman. That is certainly one way which is feasible.

I have already done that, and now have 15k in my account. BUt, I fear they ask for the account history.

Thanks. Yes, my case is much better than MASOUD2011's. I just need to prove the transferability of the fund which I will find a way. Most probably the way suggested by hooman2012 will be the safest.

if this is in a cdn acct, then it's best to show that...i would say the other wire transfer option is risky!

The only concern with the way Hooman told is that the officer has mentioned that Canada has put sanctions against financial transactions from Iran.
Then maybe the officer will come up with a new concern that how you have done a transaction form Iran while sanctions don't allow it.

 

[hooman2012]

Or you can just go to Iran right now, you married right? Then each person can bring 10K cash. divide your money between you and your wife. It is not gonna be more than 10K each.

yeah that was i was thinking too..it might be a trap!

This is not our problem, Sarrafi's is legal companies that can transfer money. If Sarrafi does something illegal , it is not your problem. You just used legal facilities in your country

I did that hooman. We came back from Iran 10 days ago, and brought about 15k. The money is sitting in my account right now. However, what if he asks for the account history? Do you think my explanation would satisfy him?

. That is my concern as well. We do not know if what Sarrafis do is legal.
