NatWest refuses to issue the Proof of Funds letter per IRCC requirements (no surprise!). If anyone has had a successful application can you share what you did!?!

Managed to get stamped bank statements but couldn’t get anything else out of them…

Thanks!!

Hi, I had a similar situation with Lloyds bank. I have submitted following documents for POF 1) 6-month statement stamped at branch 2) Expedia credit report showing no credit against my bank accounts (Lloyd bank included) 3) Salary slips in the UK (to demonstrate that all my incoming transactions in my Lloyds bank were from my salary)

One more document which I could have added was 4) Account summary statement (you will get it in the branch) - this just tells the type of account (Current), opening date etc. (I submitted this for OINP nomination but didn't do for IRCC)

I explained in the LOE that UK banks do not offer any customised letters and what documents I have provided for the POF.

My application was successful and I have already received RFV letter.

You only need to provide proof of employment and matching NOC requirements if you're claiming points for a job. All other jobs go into personal history but you don't need to provide any letters or anything else for them.

Ok.. thanks so much ... my currently working in the UK and my current job is completely from a different occupation from NOC code I am going to apply for canada

Do you think it can create any problem in my application as my current job is not relevant to NOC for which I am claiming points

My NOC job was my previous job I did for 2 years back In my home country

I believe that as long as your relevant work experience was within the last 10 years it should be fine. But maybe more experienced forum members can confirm.

Hello!

You must apply for your UK Police Certificate via Acro Criminal Records Office - confirm this is for immigration purposes when you apply.

Link here: https://www.acro.police.uk/

Mine was processed very quickly and I opted for next day delivery to avoid any Royal Mail strikes. Good luck.

No problem! The name and email address of the person who verified my identity was sufficient! No need to provide anything else unless they request this but there shouldn't be any reason for them to ask for anything extra in my opinion.

Name, email, phone number and occupation - I think that's everything ACRO asks for. BTW, most likely they won't contact them anyway - my wife and I had PCC done twice and they never contacted anyone for verification.

Hi CoolUk2 and AndyUk , what's the status of your application.. it seems people who have applied from within Canada are receiving their COPR fast then compared to one who are applying from outside Canada..

Did you guys also submit your medicals at the same time you submitted your aip application ? Or will submit when IRCC will ask for it ?.

Hi!

I submitted all my documents on 5th November. Did an upfront medical to avoid any delays.

Received notification that I passed Medical and Biometrics in just under 2 weeks after submitting. I think IRCC have stepped up and are processing all apps fairly quickly. Just waiting now until I receive PPR.
