Settlement Plan please help?

[nabeela]

I am an INP nominated applicant. my application is at visa office london. They have requested me to send a settlement plan. My unlce in canada has arranged a job offer for me .

Now we need to answer:
1. How we got this job offer letter (they need the process of job offer letter)

>>We will answer them that our Uncle in canada arranged this letter for us on verbal conversation as the letter is conditional if immigration is approved.
The joining date on job offer letter is 1st September 2012. This is very short time. Is it ok???

2. If we have professional and/or trade qualifications, provide evidence that these qualifications will be recognized for employment in Canada

>>What should we answer for this? How can we provide the evidence for our qualifications to be approved in canada??? i am a Software Engineer and my husband is a flight operations officer in saudia.

3. They require a bank statement of last 6 months transactions with a minimum balance of CAD 12000/- for settlement funds.

I will put money in my account how will i convince thats my own money???

For #2, you can contact the Foreign Credentials Referral Office - more information here: http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/content_pieces-eng.do?cid=223

I don't know the answers to your other questions. May be someone else can help.

For #4 you should show the source of these funds (i.e. prove where this money came from before you deposited it into the account).

 

[nabeela]

thank you both of you for such meaningful information. . . .
looking forward for some suggestions for Q1

For #1 they will want to know details of how you found the job, where it was advertised, the relationship you have established with the employer, your qualifications to do the job and proof you have worked in that field. The VO will want proof that the job actually exists. The fact the job is conditional on immigration? Do you mean that there is no LMO for the position, so you would only qualify for it if you have PR? We may need more details in order to help you further.

 

[nabeela]

Pippin thanks for the reply,
The job is not advertised anywhere. My uncle has this IT company in canada. He arranged this offer for me. and it is written in the letter that if my immigration is successful i will be able to work for this job. and for proof that i have already worked in this field was already sent as my previous employer's experience letter. So when i applied for immigration my uncle had the same plan to hire me as soon as i reach to canada.
please suggest now

I could be totally wrong but as far as I remember, the job needs to be advertised and the employer needs to obtain an LMO (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp).

This way, the interests of Canadian citizens and residents are protected (i.e., we have the first opportunity to apply for the job and if no Canadian resident/citizen can do the job or wants the job, then the job can be given to other nationals).
If I were an officer, I would question a job which would come into existence (i.e., be created) and be available only for you, and not to any other Canadian citizen/resident.
Interesting, though!

Agree... this is probably why they need proof that a job actually exists.

But I was an applicant of family stream.. I was not required a job offer to qualify for it. and when my uncle sponsored me he mentioned in his affidavit that he own a company and he will employ me in this company when i qualify for immigration...
Now what do you think?

 

[Pippin]

Hi I am glad you have given us some more information. Unfortunately, I have no experience with Family Stream and you might get better answers on that forum. Read everything you can find in the OP Manual for Family Stream as I am sure you will find info there. Always try to find official evidence for your questions. Please come back and let us know what you find out, so that others can learn, too. Good Luck.

I found this on David Cohen's site. While it doesn't mention your Family Stream situation, it might help clear some confusion about LMO requirements for different streams if others are reading this post.

The starting point is a Canadian job offer. Once you have a job offer, you can consider the following options:

1. Work Permit
Work permits are issued only for employment that is temporary. In some circumstances, work permits can be extended from inside Canada.

Advantage
The fastest way to come to Canada is on a temporary work permit. Usually you can be in Canada within weeks after you apply, if not sooner.
Disadvantage
Before offering you a job, your potential Canadian employer may have to demonstrate that efforts were made to hire Canadian residents for your intended position, but that those efforts were unsuccessful.
2. Arranged Employment

Arranged Employment is based on a permanent Canadian job offer of indeterminate length. You do not begin to work in Canada until you receive your Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa.

Advantages
Your potential Canadian employer does not have to demonstrate that Canadian residents could not be found for your intended position.
Priority processing at all Canadian Immigration Visa Offices of your application for Permanent Residence in Canada. You will usually receive your visa in less than one year.
You will receive up to 15 points under the Federal Skilled Worker category of Canada immigration.
Disadvantage

None, really. It just won’t get you to Canada as quickly as a work permit.

3. Provincial Nomination

Provincial Nomination contains elements similar to Arranged Employment and to Work Permits. Most Canadian provinces and one territory offer nomination programs that lead to a Canada Immigration Visa. Most often, it involves a permanent job offer of indeterminate length from an employer in a particular province.

Advantages

Once you have been nominated by a province you can usually immediately receive a work permit to come to Canada and begin work, even before your Canada Immigration Visa is issued.
Your application for Permanent Residence in Canada will receive priority processing and you will usually receive your visa in less than one year.
You may qualify for Provincial Nomination even in some occupations that are not considered “high-skilled”
Disadvantages

Before offering you the position, your potential provincial employer will usually have to demonstrate that efforts were made to hire Canadian residents, but those efforts were unsuccessful.
It will not get you to Canada as quickly as a work permit, but it’s still relatively fast.

Sorry about that! Operational Manuals - Overseas Processing. Google "OP Manuals CIC". You will see all sorts of them. Lots of bedtime reading, LOL. Hope this helps.

so in my case it can be Arranged Employment
