I have a dilemma. I have two passports. One is my natural country of birth which I have used through my teenage to University time. Once I started to work for a company in 2013, they applied for me a passport from a small neighboring country - This country gives business passport to our ethnicity. Let me call the later passport as X and the former as Y. The problem is with passport X the details of the passport are not accurate such as: month and day of birth (year is correct), place of birth, and even my height. I requested from them to change because this is not an actual citizenship passport they did not bother till today and it has already been 3 years. I traveled a lot with X for work and only a few times with Y.

In my profile, I mentioned both passports but I want to apply with my original passport, Y, as it is my natural passport with correct info (certificates, birth certificate, marriage certificate, IELTS, etc...). I expecting ITA in the next draw, so what should I do? Is it necessary to share copy of passport X with CIC as I am not applying with it? But I traveled with it so if they request travel history and I only share passport Y but they see no stamps, I am worried they will reject or something or ask for second passport and see bio info difference...

What should I do?

As per law you can only have one citizenship, unless you are a dual citizen. Only if you are a dual citizen, will you have 2 passports and you can use any one of them.

From what you describe, it seems that you were issued an identity card or an identity document, not a passport.

Hi @legalfalcon, is there a cap on number of PPRs issued each year? PPR movement has been painfully slow these days. Should we stop expecting PPR this year and look forward to January? Thanks.

There is a CAP, but it is calculated based on how many people land in Canada as a PR, which is never met.

This time of the year things slow down considerably. This week and next week, all agencies are working on a bare minimum staff. So don't expect much.

Enjoy your holidays and check back in January. If you receive a PPR within this week, consider it a Santa's special gift.

Hi All

I have 2 major transactions in my bank account due to sale of stocks. Document supporting sale of stocks should be uploaded as part of financial proof or appended to LoE? I will be talking about these transactions in LoE.

Also, is LoE supposed to be only LoE or can have documents appended to it supporting whatever we talk in LoE?

See my answer to simpler question above. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/thank-you-legalfalcon.408185/page-549#post-7457087

Hi Legalfalcon
You have helped me in the past. Hope you can help again. I am a PR holder and presently living in Canada since last 6 months. I am getting married to an Indian girl in February 2019. She had applied for her PR and got PPR in November 2018. She has got her one time visa stamped on her passport.
She plans to do her landing in March 2019 after marriage. Does she need to inform CIC after our marriage in February 2019?

Yes. Although, it will not change anything since you are already a PR, but as per IRCC regulations, change in family composition has to be informed to IRCC.

Hi Legalfalcon,

Could you please let me know whether following POF declaration will be accepted? in my case, the required minimum amount is CAD 19,093

Main Applicant's Bank Account : CAD 15500
Main Applicant Provident Fund : CAD 1450
Spouse's(accompanied) Provident Fund : CAD 5000

Thank you.

I don't see why this would not be accepted.

@legalfalcon Thanks. I read some posts here on canadavisa saying that we can just inform through web form and we don't have to wait for reply from CIC and my would be spouse can continue with her landing.

My brother is working with a company from.last 19 years as an independent member, promoting business and products. He has his team which he trains. He gets a commission every month without a miss. He has a letter from the company mentioning him as independent member promoting business.
He has got the job offer letter now here in Canada as development manager along with LMIA. He will join them in Jan and has got work permit as well.
Can all this support his PR application in 4163 NOC category.
Kindly advice. Currently he is very confused with hearing from different consultants.
Thanks for your time

@legalfalcon my AOR date is 9th June 2018. I received my first gcms on 26th September and noticed eligibility is under review due to proof of funds (no negative comments though). 2nd gcms received on 2nd November and there is no change.

I have submitted proof of funds which are more than 6 times of required amount for a family of 3. Savings account itself is sufficient for meeting minimum funds.

I have crossed 6 months timeline. I am planning to to send updated POF in the last week of December.
Do you think this will expedite the processing of my application? Or this can further delay the processing?

Many applicant's get PoF, and in most cases it is just the case analyst deferring the decision to the officer. If you have already submitted a revised PoF, you just have to wait. Unless an officer reviews your file, it will not be set to passed, and it won't move ahead.

Hi,

I have got the ITA on 28th November, almost done with my documentation and ready to submit in a couple of weeks.
My reference letters have only - first name and last name
while passport has - first name+ father's name and last name
Will this be a problem?

Just include a same name affidavit.

@legalfalcon Thanks. I read some posts here on canadavisa saying that we can just inform through web form and we don't have to wait for reply from CIC and my would be spouse can continue with her landing.

Yes, because it will not change the application. So you can raise a CSE and go ahead with the landing. As long as you have informed, that is what is required.

For the current employer reference letter, I have got an affidavit made with reference from my colleague signed by him . I will also be attaching his ID card to this.
I cannot get a reference letter from the employer for a PR as that would raise an alarm to resign immediately

Will there be a problem with this

Thanks @legalfalcon but I have not submitted updated POF. Should I submit? I have collected all the required updated documents.

It is the job duties that matter and not NOC. As long as his job duties in work ref letter substantially match those of the NOC selected, he can use it.

You can, but if your previous documents are good, there is no need. It is just a matter of time.

Also include the reason why you can't get a work ref letter in LoE, and then include IT returns, pay stub, offer letter etc/
