Seniors, can you please advise regarding PROOF OF FUNDS.

I currently have funds in different accounts. Aside from providing documentation regarding funds with application are they asking for proof of funds again before the actual landing?
Can anyone please advise?

Thank you!

Yes they often ask at landing. They may also ask for further details at the local VO stage.

Guys i have very good news for you all, after sometime of having the hesitation about the CAP updates and how it is being estimated and either for completeness check or CC charge or PER. i decided earlier last month to send an email to CIC asking about that specifically. here below the reply i got today

Dear Sir/Madam:

The website provides an estimate only of the applications included in the cap.

Until the application is checked for completeness, it cannot be confirmed as being received. Once it has been determined that the submission is complete, it is counted in the cap and the information is updated electronically. Due to high volumes of submissions, there is a lag between confirmation of receipt of a complete application and the electronic update of the cap count.

I have graduated in 2012 from Federal Government Virtual University (VU) with MCS degree which is 16-Years of Education. After that I got admission in MBA-2.5-Years degree in Federal Govt. Virtual University (VU) and for this MBA-2.5-Years degree, pre-requisite for admission was 16-Years of education. Since I had MCS degree therefore I was granted admission in this MBA-Finance degree. I have now graduated in Oct, 2014 with this MBA-2.5-Years degree, which is counted as 18.5 years of education by Higher Education Commission (HEC).

Can anyone guide me that, whether WES will consider my this MBA-Finance-degree (18.5-years of education) equivalent to Canadian Master's Degree? And I shall get 23-Points for Education.

OR this MBA degree (18.5-Years of education) will be considered equal to Canadian Bachelor Degree? And I shall get 22-Points for Education.

My decision of proceeding with sending application will depend on this confirmation.
Because if my MBA-Finance is considered equal to Canada's master my total points will be 67-points and if it is considered equal to Canada's bachelor degree i shall get 66-points.

Best regards,
George

try this free degree equivalency tool on WES site and check for yourself.

Both of these (including MBA) are from "virtual university" meaning online university, correct?

If I recall correctly WES is not very good at counting online universities as recognized institutions. You may have better luck with UoT/ICAS.

Other seniors please chime in as I am not 100% on this.

Hi,


Can anyone suggest the format of the letter I need to take from doctor to update my visa office about pregnancy of my wife and her expected due date.

Thanks in advance.

 

[xceptional88]

I am July 17 Applicant.

Despite CIC email that they could not find a application with them in my name and date of birth.

I have just seen a drop in my account balance which is slightly more than the CIC fees so I hope it is charged by CIC.... never been more happy on reducing my account balance

Yayy!!

But in the list of approved universities available on WES website Virtual University is included. So, WES recognizes this Federal Government Virtual University. Because this University holds Federal Charter. It is not a private University.

Hi,

Thanks in advance.

Just inform Doctor about your wife pregnancy during Medical Test and Doctor will proceed from there. You don't have to provide any cover letter.
