Hello guys,

I got an email from cic, you can see below. They asked me to submit the proof of funds. Do I need to maintain $18097.00 for 6 months because they asked me to show six months history or Is it fine to show the balance statement of $19000.00. I really appreciate if anyone help me in this regard.


This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:


Updated Proof of funds showing 6 months history (showing availability of 18097.00 required for a family of 3)

· Medical examination for you and your spouse (Medical Instructions will be sent separately via email within the next 48 hours)

· Payment of Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF): You must pay this fee before a permanent resident visa can be issued. The RPRF will be refunded if the application is refused, if you withdraw your application or if you choose not to use your visa. Please follow these steps:

Thanks,
Sri

I know a friend of mine that was also requested to show proof of financial. He borrowed money from some other friends and eventhough he didnt have 18000 in his account for 6 month, it was still ok. This is just based on the experience of my friend which happened about a year ago, so you might ask other people too to learn about more recent cases. hope this helps.

Doing this is illegal. He could very well lose his PR because he misrepresented himself, if there is some kind of audit.

Hi Guys,
I hope to submit my application early next week. I was wondering whether it is necessary to submit the following documents. I would really appreciate your suggestions.

1) study permit
2) T4 documents of last year to show RA income (although I have paystubs from RAship, and reference letter mentions salary)
3) Enrollment letter from the univ (of course I will have to provide letter of attestation)
4) Certificates for Bachelor's/ secondary certificates awarded outside of canada ( I am providing MSc certificates+transcripts awarded inside Canada, I guess no ECA needed)
5) Proof of relation: Any other docs in addition to marriage certificate? (e.g., wedding photos)

Finally, I was wondering when filling up imm0008_3e, if the experience is less than 1560 hours, should I keep it unchecked? My MSc. TA/RA experience is less than that (although I dont need it for eligibility). My current understanding is that I would check 1 year if the hours of experience cross 1560 hours.

Dear all,

I am very happy to inform that I am now landed immigrant of Canada. Below is my time line.

Number of person: 1
Experience: 2+ years of engineering 2147 (primary occupation)
Country: Not from India, as indicated in the tracker


Application Mailed: March 07, 2014
Application reached: March 10, 2014
Payment charged (Bank draft): March 25, 2014
PER Issued: March 28, 2014
New Study permit + bank statements send: June 29, 2014 (Proactively)
New TRV update: August 18, 2014
PRPF request and done: September 24, 2014
Medical Request from CPC: September 25, 2014
Medical done: September 25, 2014
Medical report sent by DMP: September 29, 2014
Medical report reached: October 05, 2014
Passport Request: October 06, 2014
Passport sent: October 22, 2014
Passport reached at CPC: October 24, 2014

VISA and CPR issued: November 03, 2014
VISA and CPR sent: November 05, 2014
Passport and CPC received: November 06. 2014 (sent on Nov. 05 by CPC)
Landed: November 06, 2014 (at Sarnia, Blue Water Bridge)

The whole process took less than 8 months for me. Today, I went to Blue Water Bridge, Sarnia to do my landing formalities. I cross the US boarder (I have US visa) and then return back to Canada immediately. I spend around 20 minutes while going to the US, mostly waiting inside the car to cross the border. I rented a car, hence at the Canadian side I was asked about car ownership. However, they did not asked me any documents. Also, they asked me standard question like do I have goods... bla bla ... then guided me to the immigration centre.

At the immigration centre, I showed them my passport, CPR, driving license, bank statements/records (they asked about settlement fund), study permit. The whole process took not more than 30 minutes. Then I was asked to sign CPR after some correction and congratulated.

Few note:
1. In my GCMS notes issued on Sept. 19, 2014, I was awarded 5 points for my PhD study by Sydney, which is not removed my CPC-O.
2. Also, I am not awarded points for my RA by both Sydney and CPC-O, though I claim these work experience. (In total I received 75 points)
3. CPC did not asked my any documents but I proactively submitted bank statements in June and then updated my new study permit and TRV

Hey guys,

I got my GCMS notes today (they came after RPRF, PCC and Medical requests ). The most important thing is that they gave me 10 points for adaptability and only 11 points for work experience. I thought they were gonna give me more points for work experience and only 5 for adaptability but was all the opposite. ;D

Do you mind sharing your total point?
And how long did it take to receive the notes?
Thanks

Guys I have sent out my documents about 1-2 months ago but still have not got any reply and I dont even yet have a case number. In the meantime I got a new study permit, SHould I update my case? If yes, should I wait to get a case number first? Like I said I have not got any feedback on my case yet since I posted it to Sydney.

 

[pepe84]

Sure, here it is as described in the GCMS file;

Age 30, points 12

Education Masters, points 23

Years of work experience 2, Points 11

Language (IELTS, 7, 7, 6, 6.5), Points 19

Adaptability: Previous studies in Canada (2 years, Principal Applicant), 5 points
Previous work in Canada (1.5 years full time, Spouse), 5 points
Total points adaptability: 10

Total Points for Eligibility: 75


It took exactly 30 days, however they were last updated in October 10th, so for medicals and criminality it says Not Started! and RPRF outstanding, but I got the medicals and PCC requests this week and already paid the RPRF.

Thanks for your thorough answer. I'm at planning to request GCMS note although it might be a bit late. Hopefully, I'll get it in 30 days.
Wish you and your family all the best

Hi,

CIO is taking an average of 4 months to charge CC and issue PER, so be patient because you are still on time. If they need to check your status renewal in Canada, they will ask for it. So no need to send a copy of the new study permit to CIO.

Guys I have sent out my documents about 1-2 months ago but still have not got any reply and I dont even yet have a case number. In the meantime I got a new study permit, SHould I update my case?
