1) The term (multiple) is generic, so comes out on everyone's application.
The instructions clearly ask for just your current /valid passport. Therefore, you only need to submit pages with visas, stamps and markings for just one passport.

2) Correct.

All the best.
Thanks a lot mate.. And i have to add everything on single pdf right ? i mean for education part ECA, degrees, Transcripts, ielts should be on a single pdf isn't it ?

Yes all documents in a single pdf. You do not need to upload transcripts though. Just degree/diploma will do.

See the exact requirements of the photo next to the tab where you will be uploading it. There is a "?" next to it and on clicking it, you will get all the information. Personally, I prefer to use a digital photo (soft copy) straight from the camera as it is much easier to adjust as per the requirements.

Urgent advice needed.


Guys,

I have all my documents available and ready to submit the e-APR. But my USA visitor visa is expiring next month and I just got an appointment for its renewal application on 24th April. I fall into the interview waiver program so I do not have to give any interview but put my application in dropbox. However, it will still take 7-10 business days for me to get my passport back with USA visa stamped.

My concern is...

1) Do I submit my e-APR without waiting for USA visitor stamp on my passport?

2) Do I wait a few more days (my deadline for accepting the ITA and submitting application is 24th May) and once I get the USA visitor visa stamped, scan that too and submit my application?

Which of these two options is correct?

And If I submit my e-APR without waiting for USA visitor visa, do I need to then inform the CIC of this update? Someone told me that its not required. Only if we travel somewhere outside of country of residence then we need to update the CIC with travel history.

A quick answer on this will greatly be appreciated!

Thanks!

You can go ahead and submit your application. Your US Visa will be issued after your eAPR and CIC should not be concerned about it. If you travel outside the country, then you may inform them. I don't think it is required though.

Regarding Proof for Education

In the application post ITA, Do I need to submit only degrees or degree plus marks certificate for each semester? For example only Engineering degree or degree plus marks card for each of the 8 semesters?

Only Degrees plus IELTS TRF and ECA report. No need of mark sheets or transcripts.

I guess point-2 (parent's gift) alone will sort me out on this :)

Also, wealth investment policies are the investments where I pay a fixed annual premium which guarantees me a fixed return+bonus after the completion of the policy tenure.
P.S - These are not life covering insurances, so I was wondering if I can use them as a proof of fund.

Hi, I am filling post ITA form and need following clarifications:

1. I had mentioned my spouse work experience (not Canadian) in the profile, however, the employers in the experience certificates did not state the mandatory things required by IRCC. Does spouse foreign experience carry any points for determining eligibility or computing CRS?

2. For one of the employer, only number of hours per week is missing, should I attach it or take to personal history to be on safe side if it doesn't carry any points?

3. Can I remove them for work history and mention in personal history and state in the Letter of Explanation - "with respect to my spouse work experience, since the employers have issued the work experience letters in their standard formats which does not have one or more of the mandatory requirements prescribed by IRCC, and considering that spouse work experience does not affect CRS, to avoid confusion, the work experience has been mentioned in Personal history. However, to substantiate the bona fide of the details mentioned, we have attached the wrok experience letters and salary slips with this Letter of Explanation as Annexure." Is this fine?
