Hi,
I am nearly there to submit my ITA application, but a bit confused regarding letter of explanation.
I have opened this thread for seniors and others to contribute & guide how it should be written and to whom it should be referred?
Following are some queries :
1) Should it be addressed the letter to Officer CIC or someone specific?
2) Subject of the letter should be "Letter of Explanation for <EE number>", is this correct?
3) I want to explain multiple things like,
can I explain all this in one letter or have to upload letters in individual sections?
- my bank balance has 29000 CAD but as per EE limit two people can only show 15 K, so my bank statement shows more money than what I am putting in ITA, also in EE I mentioned 29000 CAD but in ITA I am stating 15K only. Should I explain this?
- I have three employer letters, in one of them they are not stating Annual Salary as they want me to show CostToCompany letter (which is just a leaf of offer letter and not on company letter head), in the current company they have issued a separate CTC letter along with LOE to show my salary. Also the current company name got change in 2013, so I have two LOE from my curreny company, do I need to explain that?
- I showed my Spouse's work history in EE but since there are no points given to me for his "outside Canada" work ex, I will be removing that from ITA application. Should I mention this?
- Also my earlier designations matches with NOC 2171 but I have applied under 0213 and roles and responsibilities in my LOE reflects 0213, do I need to explain that in my letter?
- I will be uploading marriage certificate (married for an year now), but do I also need to upload Divorce certificate and give an explanation in this letter, as I mentioned my divorce details in my ITA application?
4) Is there anything else, that must be stated in letter of explanation?
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Regards
