hello, i have just received an email from cic requesting me to update and send back some documents my timeline is located at the left side.

Hi tokyo123

Congratulations.

Do you have job offer?

I mean, in your profile you put "yes" in the job offer. It is very natural that all the applicants who have job offers are getting response from the CIC.

But the FSW1 category that you put in your profile is attracting our focus as FSW1 is the category of applicants who do not have any job offer.
If CIC is communicating with May 1011 (without any job offer) applicants, it's a very good news for us.

It would be great if you could make us clear about your situation by telling whether you have a job offer or not. I guess you have a job offer.
Waiting to hear from you soon.

usaca

Does anyone know what this means: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob348a.asp

Does it mean applicants from the US are able to receive landing papers and skip the PPR step?

No they will still need to wayt for PPR but they will send photocopies and CIC will send them the COPR by mail
The only difference is that they wont have a visa on their passports this only saves the cost of the visa foil but the waiting is the same as the one from any other country

Hi Everyone,

Today I received my GCMS note and based on it, nothing but criminality check is started on my file. After 32 months, this is the most disappointing news I could ever receive. The file is transferred on 2012/5/16 to CPP and since then nothing has been done on it.

I was wondering if more experienced users of this forum could give me some tips. My MP is less than useful as she always checks and tells me that it is in progress.

Thanks

Hi everyone,
I have a question which I hardly could find an answer to it in this forum.
I (FSW1) have already paid RPRF and passed the medical, updated my documents in April 2013 as they requested since they did not touch it for more than a year after it was transferred from Buffalo to Ottawa.
Now I am at the very last stage. I am a graduate student in the US, among those updates that I submitted in April, I updated my financial status (settlement fund) for three family member (~19 K), since it was one of the documents requested. Actually it was the best time for me to have that fund available. I had rented our apartment back home plus I had ~5K saving plus my newborn cash gifts from family members. I deposited that money to my account and got a reference letter which was showing an average of deposit and withdrawal but not in details for some personal reasons I took the money out of my account in 10 days and has spent half of it but have other fund back home to compensate. Now I received this email from CIC which asks me to show:

"Updated evidence of settlement funds (showing 6 months deposits/ withdrawals history) for yourself/ your spouse. If you are using more than 1 account you must provide all accounts. You should also provide documents to support any large deposits shown".

As I said I am a graduate student with limited income in the US, I think the officer has become suspicious if I borrowed this large fund from someone else however; I have enough evidence to prove that that money was mine. BUT!!

The question is: Do I need to explain why I took the whole money out of my account in 10 days? It s so dicey?!! please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Afandy

If you have other accounts in your home country that show in your name the required funds than that should work. You could also show, if you have it, the sale of property or other goods in order to get the required funds with documentation. If not then it may cause a problem as you're supposed to have the required funds at your landing. But it was a risk to use your settlement funds as you'll need them for expenses when you're settling into your new life. Good luck.

But as per this, they should not ask for PPR to US people, but they are asking throughout out 2012 and in 2013 also. And this news is of 2011 so I don't think thats working. I wish things would have been like that... I've sent my PP few days back and waiting for it to come...

Hi waterton,

I guess criminality checking is the first and most important background checking. And I hope as CIC is working at a faster rate now a days it will complete your case soon.

I am planning to apply for GCMS notes this week. I have never done this before. In fact, I am researching the method of applying for GCMS notes through this forum. I have found couple of discussions on it.

Would you like to tell the way you followed for applying for the GCMS notes?

Thanks

Thank you very much Wolvy for your reply.
I have already sold some stocks and am arranging to bring the fund to the US so I have no problem on that. But my trasactions shows that my previous proof of funds has been taken out of my account within 3-10 days in a big chunk (one 9000 in three days and one 9000 in 10 days). Do you think that I have to explain it or they only need to know that this time I have fix amount of settlement fund?
