Thank you Asivad Anac

Hi Asivad,

I am having problem in getting my pcc from Burkina Faso (west Africa). I was there for a year on company's business and now back to my home country.

For pcc I even called the embassy but they said that it has to be done within country and can't be arranged by embassy. I have even tried calling on the phone no. that CIC has provided for police verification but nobody answers my call.

Please suggest what can i do in such a situation.

Thanks

Oh my days! I've heard so much about you in all these posts and need to say I am very excited to get your response Asivad ;D

Thank you so much and by the way, my POF is shown using only FD accounts which was started couple weeks ago. In that case I wont have anything to show 6 months avg balance. You think that's gonna be a problem?

My Idea of bringing this SB account into the picture was to make up for this "6 months Avg. bal" requirement.

The 6 months average balance requirement is only for CIC to ensure that your funds aren't borrowed - essentially it means that CIC is willing to accept that your funds aren't borrowed if they've been around in your bank for at least 6 months or you can conclusively prove that they aren't borrowed.

In this case, I don't understand how bringing your SB account into the picture helps you prove that the funds in your FD accounts aren't borrowed.

Unfortunately, I cannot help beyond what is provided by CIC on this link ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/africa/burkina-faso.asp

The thing is, I just received the funds from my Mother a week ago into this new FD account. I do have 3 other documents supporting the fact that its not borrowed, such as Gift Deed, Affidavit and Net Worth. Do you think this will be all?
I was confused because, many other forums mentioned the "6 Month Avg. bal" as a necessary document whether its an FD or an SB account.

I'm sorry I wasn't making much sense before. But now that I got your point. Do I need to show the 6 Month Avg. bal from my Mother's account before she made the gift transfer? To show that she did not borrow the money from someone else?

Those documents should be sufficient.

You don't have to provide 6 months average balance from your mother's account. CIC won't be keen on their source of funds.

Hi Asivad,

I'm uploading documents in my eAPR. Since I mentioned that both me and my wife have a "nickname or alias", the system is expecting a "Legal Name Change or LOE" for Name section. In India, we frequently shorten the last name to initials, so both of us have an expanded last name in passport, while in many educational certificates and work experience documents, the last name is just one letter.

I spoke to my lawyer and he says he can get an affidavit generated for both me and my wife, two separate documents, that declares that both names refer to the one and the same person, for both of our cases. Is this sufficient? Or shall I also attach a LOE along with affidavits for both of us?

I personally prefer making this affidavit to avoid any reworks in this area later, because especially for me, my name is variously mentioned as JAMES LOUIS MULFORD, J L MULFORD, MULFORD L JAMES in different documents.

If the difference between the names is caused just by the expanded version of your initials, there is no need to submit any LOE/affidavit. CIC wouldn't have any concerns on this front while processing your PR application.

If you still want to submit an affidavit, you can certainly choose to do that. No harm done.

All the best!

if you receive medical passed message and/or schedule 4 request, does it mean that profile is eligible to be processed further? does it mean that all supporting documents and forms details are in order?
can u advise on this Asivad?

Asivad Anac,
I have doubts on my proof of funds.

1. Could I use my spouse account to complete my proof of funds? For example, I have 12.000 in my account and other 5.000 in her account (that account belongs to her, it is not a shared account)

2. Could I use documents that proof I bought Canadian dollars?

Thank you so much.

Neither of these 2 events can be reliably used to confirm that the profile is deemed to be eligible.

Hay guys,
Need your advise on below:

CIC website says that they need PCC since the age of 18 years. I was born on 26 October, 1982, that also mean I turned 18 years on 26 October 2000 (just added 18 years to my DOB here). Now, Pakistani PCC does contain the addresses with dates (TO and From). My PCC starts from 2001 - till date, is that OK?

It is something like this:

Address 1 2001 - 2007
Address 2 2007 - 2015

Now, am I missing couple of months here?? (October 2000 - December 2000). Normally, PCC in Pakistani does not contain any dates and months.

Looking forward for an advise on it??

Jawad

CIC doesn't state anywhere that PCC obtained from Indian passport authorities is unacceptable. The site only says that one can obtain PCC from police authorities. That doesn't mean that one cannot obtain PCC from passport authorities.

All the best!

I am from the state of Kerala, India and I have done my PCC twice(earlier one was for the UK couple years ago). I can assure you that getting it from Passport Seva Kendra is totally acceptable and it is also hassle free. Once you apply online and pay the fees, it barely takes about half a day.
