No problem, but you cannot return it to your account without a huge money transfer circle. What you will do is ask your bank to cancel the draft. They may or may not have a penalty for canceling the draft, please discuss with your bank at time of having the draft.

If you have plans to eventually settle in Canada, I would strongly suggest leaving your unneeded savings there. This way you will be building Canadian banking and credit history while you are outside Canada.

Regards.

In addition to cancellation charges, you would also lose on the exchange rates - the difference between buying and selling rates.

Hey Guys,
Nice to see a separate thread for dubai applicants. I am considering applying for FSWP this year but Im a bit confused. Im basically a Network Engineer and have around 8 years work experience. Could I still apply under 2281 Computer network technicians. Some of the job descriptions match but I just dont have the title of technican mentioned anywhere. Also, if I do get accepted in this category does it mean that I would have to look for jobs in canada under this title?
Appreciate if anyone can help me on this!!

Also, if I do get accepted in this category does it mean that I would have to look for jobs in canada under this title?

If by any chance the case is rejected do they refund the amount? any chance the engineer category will be there next year?

guys we take our Bank Draft (for proof of settlement fund) from emirates bank today, that is in US dollar, but I've noticed that the recipient bank is City Bank with Branch in US...do you think this will create a problem? of the recipient bank should be in Canada....They told me, it is OKAY considering that City Bank is all over....they also said that I can even even deposit that to my account in other banks in Canada, once I open an account.....thanks

processing fee is non refundable

no one can predict about the next year NOC professions, but they have already changed the system and process starting from January 2015

it is Ok, but there will be charges for the collection from USA. in your declaration form you have to declares in CAD$ and exchange the rate to Canadian dollars. yes you can deposit any bank in canada or usa.

What does the new system Express Entry mean which is starting Jan 2015 mean? How is it different from the current system?
