Kindly advise
Offer letter on Letter hand will not be adequate to get exemption from Proof of funds. Labour market opinion (LMO) is required for the job offer to get the exemption. Please find below extract of reply from NDVO

"If you have arranged employment in Canada, you do not have to meet these financial requirements. Arranged employment means that you have an offer of indeterminate employment from an employer in Canada. You must be either currently working in that employment on a work permit in Canada, or have been issued a labour market opinion has must have been provided by the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC). In order to be exempt from the minimum funds requirement, the offer of employment must be genuine, the employment must not part-time or seasonal, the wages offered must be consistent with the prevailing wage rate for the occupation, and the working conditions must meet generally accepted Canadian standards"

Kindly advise
The requirement of funds is one of the conditions of FSW without job offer. Your application was processed without a job offer, as such you should follow the same rules of showing funds irrespective of any offer you may get after your PR.
What I understand you got an offer after your got ur PR,
If you had applied with a job offer, then it will be under diff rules , where funds is not required.
Hope it clears.

Best wishes

Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here: Someone with some tips?

Hallo forum members,
am happy to read all your comments and insights that you share about immigration. They give alot of information and room for sharing experiences and even gives hope. Positivity is what each one of us needs in this who process.

Now I have an issue and would be so happy if someone with similar case can help:
My husband and I have two children and my husband has a child from a previous relationship with a lady, and we included this child in our application. The child lives with the mother and my husband sends support for the child.

We submitted our application to the CIC and they asked for documents, which we submitted. Until last year in December, we submitted all the documents including the right of permanent residence fee (RPRF), we have also submitted our passports last year in November 2015, which the visa office asked us to submit. We had hoped that the child will definately undergo medical tests, but then, alot of problems came up and we couldnt do much. Thus, the only information that is lacking in our application are the medical tests of my step child, whose mother has refused to comply. We were even forced to go to court to ask for a court order, which we got, but still this lady refused to bring the child for medical examination. Now, we compiled all the documents from the court and a cover letter and sent them to CIC visa office and now its been two weeks since we sent them.
At the same time, we have been reading alot from the forums in regards to immigration and timelines. Apparently, all the cases that share a similar story of a child from a previous relationship or marriage lacking medical examinations indicate delays, but no one seems to say what exactly 'delays' here mean, ie, does the visa office delay the decision on immigration in weeks, month, months or years? I was wondering, if there is anyone in the forum who has some experience on this and can share how thier process proceeded after failure to submit medical test of a step child? please kindly share your experience and the time the visa office took to respond to you application!

Thank you

Dear All, by the blessing of the One, I have received my PPR today. Thanks to all members of this forum. Without your support it wouldnt have been possible. And I still need some clarification on further processing and need your opinion. I was originally SGVO applicant and then my file was transferred to Manilla VO. The PPR mail came from Manila VO too and even in the attached form, Manila is written above the bar code. But They didnt give me any specific destination address. However, in the attached instructions, they said that all Bangladeshi & some other country Passports should be sent to Singapore VO which seemed like a generic format. My confusions are:

1. Am I going to fill up any destination address in VFS for sending passport? If yes, where should I send my Passport, SGVO or MVO?

2. During the processing time, I obtained new MRP passport and raised a CSE with copy of the new passport to inform them. Do I have to send my old passport/passport copy along with my New original passport through VFS?

3. The attached form in the mail is in PDF format and I cannot type on it. Is it ok if I print it and fill up by hand writing?

4. The letter mentioned their photo specifications has been changed recently. Last time I took photo from Fotoworld in Elephant Road. not sure if they are aware of this change. Any suggestions for photo studio in Dhaka?

Dear seniors,

I heard that the visa validity is valid from the date of medicals to one year, Now which date is this ?

The date when you receive the Medical forms OR the date when you go to the hospital for medicals OR the date when the hospital sends the result to cic OR the date when the ecas shows that the medicals have been received .. ? ?
