Hello,
- I received my ITA
- Filled out the Questionnaire to reach the document checklist option
- Document checklist states:

  1. Biometric fees - BUT I don't see any place to BOOK or Submit biometrics. Will the biometric part kick in AFTER I upload all document and pay fees?
The problem is the police certification I need can take upto 1-2 months because its from another country and I am worried what if I am not able to submit the checklist because of that. I could write a letter of explanation but will it let me submit without the Police certificate?

2) I need to get an UPFRONT Medical Exam - So this is an upfront exam because I technically haven't submitted my final application, right?
I am planning to go with a doctor who has eMedical so then I will only have to upload info printout sheet, that is correct right? I wouldn't need to fill out IMM 1017B.


3) Proof of Means of Financial Support - Why is it asking me for this, I am in Canada, with a job here for 1+ years in the same role and have applied under CEC. I am confused, it is because I also met conditions for FSW?

4) I am being asked for these documents:

Offer of Employment - You must provide a job offer letter from the employer who wants to hire you. It must be printed on company letterhead, and state that you will be employed permanently in Canada by that company. The letter must specify whether the job is:
  • for continuous, paid, full-time work (at least 30 hours a week,)
  • for work that is permanent and not seasonal,
  • skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 National Occupational Classification (NOC)
(Note – in most cases, the job offer must be for a permanent job. For some types of jobs, it has to be for at least one year.)
The job offer letter must include contact information for the company (address, telephone number and email address.)

Employment Records - You must provide proof of work experience for your current job and for each past position you listed. Proof must include a reference letter from your employer and pay stubs, if you have them. The reference letter must:
  • be an official document printed on company letterhead
  • include your name, the company's contact information (address, telephone number and e-mail address, the signature of your immediate)
  • show all positions held while employed at the company
  • include these details: job title, duties/responsibilities, job status (if current job, the dates you worked for the company, the number of work hours per week and your annual salary plus benefits.)You must scan all documents for this period of employment and save them as one file. (You must create a separate file for each period of employment.)
**Letter of Employment -**An employment letter is an official document printed on company letterhead stating that you will be employed in Canada by that company for a specified period of time. The employment letter must include your name, the details of your employment in Canada, and the company's contact information.
It may also include:

  • details such as your tenure with the company
  • your title, position and duties
  • approved vacation periods (if travelling to Canada for holidays, or information about whether the company will cover all your travel expenses (if travelling on business for this company), etc)
They all seem to have same requirements in each of them, should I ask my employer to send me separate letter for each of these?

Sorry for the long post and thanks for the help!
 
I can answer a few.

1) you can only book for biometrics when you get your biometrics instructions letter AFTER a few weeks of getting AOR.

PCC - state that your impacted by service disruptions due to covid-19. If you still have time, wait until you get the document. Your app won’t be processed anyway even if you submit early but with missing documents.

2) yes, the emedical sheet would suffice

3) this has been asked and answered multiple times in this forum. The search bar on top is handy. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1145&top=29

4) if you claimed 50 points for job offer, you need the offer of employment letter - this is for future employment 1 year post PR.

Letter of employment is for your existing and already earned Canadian work experience — e.g., 1 year Canadian work experience.

Search for “offer letter” and “proof of work experience” here. Just need to read. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...-after-january-1-2016-completeness-check.html
