And your UAE PCC must have 3 month validity and Pakistan PCC must have 6 months validity same as ours?
Regradless of the validity mentioned on PCC by the issiuning authroity, Canadian Immigration offices always consider them goof for 1 Year from date of issue. This is based on reading on different forums and threads.

True, that is why I was just confirming with Maria as we have similar PCC requirements except in my case, I have to provide PCC for 3 countries including Pakistan & UAE.

hi hila01.....
dont worry about the Police certificates mentioned as '0'
it was there '0' for me too when my gcms came...although with initial application we submitted my hubby's (PA) UAE Original PCC and a coloured scan copy of Pakistan PCC....

Thanks Maria,
that means there is nothing to worry about then. My self calculated point (71) was 1 point lower than CIC calculation of 70 marks. Perhaps, I made a wrong calculation myself. Anyways, my application status is in progress; under assessment, Eligibility not stated, Security not started, Criminality not started, Medical not started, My paper file/application assignment was assigned to a case officer on the 2013/11/14 and there is a due date of 2013/12/30. This due date has elapsed and there is no B'FD. Although there is another date somewhere which has got my PER date of 2014/07/12. I have gone down the GCMS note to read the comments by CIC after initial processing of my file, saying that PA appears to have met Ministerial instruction, IELTS and ECA report have been verified, letter of work experience has not been verified. My visa officer also made a comment on the 14/11/2013 saying that my application is under review. This is the same date that my paper file was transferred to another case processing agent and given a due date of 30/12/2013, possibly for second check.

Most of my savings are the bonuses i get from my company, but the problem is there is no official document from my company about these transfers like salary slip or something.

My question is what can be done to justify the large cash flows (above $1000) into your account??

Please share your thoughts.

MassHunter,

If your company knows about your immigration plans then request them to issue a letter stating that company is paying you bonuses for so and so services. Secondly, if bonuses are credited to your account directly from your company's account then your bank statement must also show that money is credited from your company's account same as salar transfer is shown on the statement. But if they pay you cash amount and you deposit it in your account, then it is different scenario. In this case, you must need an official document from your company to prove that this is your money.

You may consider to submit Balance Certificate if POF is requested but if VO specifically asks you to submit 3 or 6 month bank statement, then you will have to consider seriously to attach a letter from your company that you are recieving bonuses to prove that this is your money and you are not borrowing it.

QueryRequest,

It is an ideal and best situation in which applicant can show maintained POF. My understanding & experience is that if applicant can convince & satisfy the VO about the withdrawal of money & source of money deposited back in big chunks within last six months, then it will work fine. Although money withdrawal & deposited back within last six months should be reasonable.
Sir

Visa officer is not concerned about your source of money. They need to enter ending balance in system .That is all
They need to fill this column in their system , that cannot be left blank.

Stay Blessed

Dear luqi and hila,

I am based in London. May be they ask for POF at the time of RPRF....... I want to share an interesting thing with you guys which I read some where and would like you to comment on that is they asked someone to submit POF (Bank Statement) for last 6 months...

They asked like this

"Please provide POF (Bank of Statement) for last Six Months". What do you guys say did they ask for MAINTAINED POF? That's why I put this question on forum so that may help others as well................ ;) ;)

BR

QueryRequest
Dear Mate

They have never demanded 06 month bank statement from any one on planet earth.
Visa Office is not calculating your "Credit / Financial Credibility" to issue Loan or mortgage.
They are interested in Balance on that day. They need to put this figure in their system , that cannot be left blank.
Get Balance Certificate , if you have any doubts on submitting bank statement

Stay Blessed
