Hey guys, in one of my employer reference letters, they've put my 'date of employment' as March 2013 - July 2016. However on my application I have only put my employment (with this employer) from March 2013 - July 2014. The reason they have put 2016 is because I took 'Leave Without Pay' for two years in July 2014. And then I officially resigned in July 2016 when I did not return to that employer once the LWOP finished. However the employer has used my official resignation date in July 2016 (even though I had not been working for 2 years).

Can I simply explain this in my LOE, or should I try and get the letter adjusted, or something else?


TIA.

Passport Req..
16-11-2018
Guys we submitted all our documents and have cleared the medical exam.....so at the MEP stage....but we also got a message from CIC that they need us to submit a clear copy of our passports (me and my husband)....i have a few questions regarding this....
- Do we scan all pages of the passport or just the first and the last and the ones with stamps?
- Does it have to be a coloured copy?
- Does it have to be notarised?

Previously we had attached a copy with all pages but while reducing the size i think the quality detoriarated....

Also anyone here whose application has moved beyond the MEP stage? Please share your timeline....



AOR: 15th June 2018
MEP: 29th June 2018
According to the help in the passport upload section it says:
You must submit a legible copy of you valid travel document.

If you have a passport, you must provide a copy of:
  • the page that shows your birth date and country of origin, and
  • any pages with stamps, visas or markings


AOR: June 20
MEP: waiting....:)

Hi All,

I have some questions about POF, hopefuly some members can help me understand this better.
I have X amount in my wife's account which I want to use as a POF being a primary application under EE.
I am thinking to get that amount in my account and get a gift deed signed by wife.

In addition, my mother has transfered majority of the funds in my account about a month back and I am planning to get a gift deed for that as well.

Will this option work okay?
What else do I need to attach if this option is okay? Do I need to attach my wife's 6 month back statement as well.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best,
Deepak

Getting a gift deed for the money transferred from your mother is necessary here. But no need to get the funds from your wife's account to yours. Just get a simple letter from her on a plain paper signed mentioning that you being her husband (and she co-applicant) have full access to her account. That should work fine.

Hello Keerat bai,

Thank you for the response on this.
just another follow up question, does this means I need to attach her 6 months back statement as well. In fairness, she has got some of the amount in here account in the recent times from her parents, would that be a problem. Please advise.

Deepak though I am not very sure of this but technically you should submit the same details as you would for your own account. And maybe a gift deed from her parents to explain the transfer of funds.

Understood, getting a gift deed from parents wouldn't be a challenge. I just wanted to avoid that and in turn getting a gift deed from wife which will eliminate the need of her bank statements.

As per my understanding even if you get funds from your wife there would be a need to explain the source of funds in her account if there was a big transaction recently(within the last 6 months), as she is your dependant in the application.

Well, in that case it's probably worth going this way.
- Get a gift deed from her parents
- Get a letter signed by my wife as NOC to use her account
- Get her 6 months statements, shows evident saving credits made from my account to her account

I think the pros with this is - the money has been sitting in her account from a while so that would be a positive as well. I am a registered NOMINEE in all the FD accounts created, therefore, that should be a plus as well.

Leaves me with one final question, this is not a mandate for me to be a join account holder? If this is not a mandate and NOC letter is enough.

Wouldn't it be better to transfer amount to his account and make a gift deed for her too? In this case, he won't have to submit the bank statement of his wife account.
