To all my friends out there (the context is more appropriate for India though), had a few queries. Please help me.
I was recently nominated under OOPNP and am expecting an ITA next week.
1. Regarding Police Clearance Certificate: I was living for rent in location 1 in Bangalore and recently after applying for OOPNP moved to location 2 in Bangalore. The provincial nomination certificate would be delivered to location 1.
Three questions on this.
a) I am planning to get PCC from PSK with location 2 (my current location) as the address. I have gas connection bill for it. Is it good to go for this / is it preferable to go for PCC with location 1? (Note: My parents still live in location 1)
For Getting PCC from PSK I think you would want to mention the address that's on your passport or else PSK will initiate police verification on any other address. PCC from PSK is valid for ENTIRE country so address doesn't matter as such
b) My wife does not have address proof for both locations. However, there is a marriage certificate and she has an ACT broadband connection in her name for location 2. Will there be any hurdles to get PCC with location 2?
What address she has on passport ?. PSK usually doesn't accept address proof from private companies. PSK may ask for current address proof as well as 1-2 year old address proof also. Open a bank a/c for her at any PSU bank and get her photo stamped & signed on the passbook from the bank. This will take less than 24 hours and she will have a government address proof.
c) Is address ever mentioned on the PCC?
As far as I know, they put a stamp in the passport with all details and I heard that is sufficient. Perhaps they issue a letter also. Not sure. But I know for sure that PCC from PSK is not limited to any address
2. Express entry proof of funds requirement has raised to $15,143. Should I update my profile to have a figure above that value (before getting ITA - sometime 26th, 27th this month) ?
What is the harm in doing that before your ITA ?. I think you should do it
3. My wife has worked for company A (on A's payroll) as a contractor under Huawei Tech for 16 months, and then for company B (on B's payroll) as a contractor again under Huawei Tech for 2 months (change in the consulting company alone) and then finally as a permanent employee of Huawei Tech (1 year and still going). Now, the company A no longer exists. Have the relieving letter. No job roles and responsibilities letter. Company B exists. Have relieving letter. But, they are not ready to give roles and responsibilities. However, both companies A and B have mentioned that my wife was contracting under Huawei along with the designation in the relieving letter. How best can this situation be handled? The manager in Huawei who she had during her tenure in A and B is ready to provide some supporting documentation stating her roles and responsibilities, but, they wont be on the company letterhead.
If you are the primary applicant then your spouse indian work experience doesn't give you any additional points. When you are filling post ITA application, mention her work experience in "Personal History section" and not in "Work History" section, that way system will not prompt you for uploading her experience letters and since you have mentioned her work experience in "Personal History section" so you are not hiding anything from CIC also. There are many threads on forum discussing this approach.
4. I had recently transferred some of my funds to Post Office for fixed deposit (around Rs 2,00,000). For my bank savings, I had got a letter from the bank which stated the CAD equivalent. However, the post office seems to be not able to provide the CAD equivalent. What can be done about this?
Are you trying to show proof of funds ?. If yes, then No CAD equivalent needs to be mentioned as currency fluctuates everyday. Only rupee balance amount is sufficient. Just ask Post office for account balance statement on their letter head with the date when this FD was opened, get it signed and stamped and submit it to CIC.
Hope this helps. All the Best.
Guys, I am counting on you. Any help (answers to any of these) would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
