Hi All,

Need your prayers and suggestions!

Our application reached on 14th of May, and we have given our card details for application fee submission, however, later on, we came to know that the limit of card is Rs. 100,000/= only. Now, although we have sufficient balance in our account, yet we are hanging on the edge. Currently, the price of dollar is around Rs. 90.50, which makes it around Rs. 100,000/= for me and spouse, but it is continuously fluctuating. If it remain under the limit our CC will be charged, else what will happen!!!

Please suggest a way, how can we avoid return of application.

Talk to your bank and check what you need to do. I think if you deposit advance payment to your credit card, it may count as increased limit. Also, even if your max limit is 100,000, you need to make sure CIC charge goes through successfully because banks do not allow max limit transaction to follow security procedures and avoid fraudulent transactions. I would recommend you talk to your bank. They should be to best assist you on this. Good luck!

Depositing money in CC account will Not help as it will Not lead to rise in the limit of Forex curr tranx. If Pak's Reserve bank has set a max. limit of RS 1 lac for foreign curr transac on CC, it means any single trx which exceeds Rs 1 Lac will Not be successful... doesn't matter if your CC balance/ limit is more than 1L or 5L or 10L

You can do few things in parallel.. Pursue ur bank to increase ur limit also check with them if u deposit money in CC account will the transaction go through. Get DD and send updated payment form to CIC as well. This way some or other will work

@ SyedAbbas,

It really sad to know, don't forget that usually there is 5% service charge on forex transactions, with that total comes out to be 105,100 at current rates.

Given the situation you have following options
1. Confirm with the bank if transaction is approved on current forex rates or including the service charges
2. Many banks allow certain %age of "OVER LIMIT" but they charge extra for it. Ask your bank about that "OVER LIMIT" cushion as well. Try to negotiate that %age. Tell them they can charge extra commission for allowing extra over--limit
3. Usually, if you deposit cash, your limit automatically increases, again ask this question very specifically.
4. Still to be on a safe side, my suggestion, ask the bank to seek special permission from SBP on one-off basis to increase the limit. The officers at SBP are well educated and they usually help to their level best. Again, to provide comfort to the bank, you can agree to deposit full amount of expected transaction plus 20% extra (for forex fluctuation) in CASH as soon as they agree to execute your transaction, even if its above limit. Note that its still 2-3 week (at earliest) before your application will be considered, and SBP respond to such requests in a week to 10 days.

Net Net, you need to talk to bank's senior management ASAP and request them to resolve this issue. As a "carrot" you can offer them to deposit your "Settlement Fund" for next 6 months or so at very low return.

Btw PM your bank name and city.

Meanwhile, you can also get a DD prepared and send it to CIC. They may still accept it, but you wont come to know about the outcome till the DD is encashed. But on parallel try to obtain second copy of IELTS and ECA to be ready with another application, if non of the pt # 1-4 works out .

Best of Luck!!! Stay in touch through PM

You have a point here. This guy needs to confirm with thebank whether it is government regulation or policy of the type of card. In any case submit updated payment form with DD along with letter of explanation. Hope it helps

@Pipis Husand

FOllowing is the defination of assets, liabilities, and settlement funds as per CIC in their guide to filling application forms; According to which Assets are Fixed deposit, Saving Account etc (liquid assets with verifiable value). Therefore, assets include settlement funds.

a) Assets
Indicate the total amount (in Canadian dollars) of fixed deposits, savings accounts, pensions, etc.

b) Liabilities
Indicate the total amount (in Canadian dollars) of real property mortgages and any other personal debts.

c) Total funds available for settlement in Canada
With consideration to your total assets and liabilities, indicate the total amount (in Canadian dollars) of unencumbered, transferable and available funds that you have for settlement in Canada

Hi shah2014, the settlement funds refer to money in the bank (cash, fixed deposit), available at a moment's notice. Assets refer to your landed properties, shares, stocks, etc such items that would take a bit more time to convert to cash.

And you are right, a lot of people just leave the assets and liablities box as zero.

Cheers.

Re: Facing problem with ECA from WES

@vishal.sharma

You can ask them to reassess, but if you comfortably achieve 67 points, no need to waste time in reassessment.

the difference in evaluation could be because of difference in Bachelors degree

Hi Seniors,

I am about to receive eca report from WES. My Master degree of 5 years is mistakenly evaluated as 4 yr Canadian Bachelor's degree. However one of my friend with same degree is evaluated last year was given Master's equivalency.

Please suggest what are the possible way out from this ?

Thanks in advance.
