POF in one account, salary slips from other account

[empower]

My salary statements for work experience section are from Saudi bank so IRCC will know I have bank account in Saudi.

But my Proof of Funds is in Indian bank. So do I need to get POF letter only from the Indian account where I possess the funds?

Or do I need to show POF letter from both Indian and Saudi bank accounts (Since IRCC knows now that I possess both Indian and Saudi bank accounts)?

As canada website mentions we need to show letter from every bank that has our money, I am confused. Please guide what to do based on your experience.

POF and salary account doesn't have to be the same. Get POF from your Indian bank, and then attach salary statements/pay slips/pay stubs in the employment letter PDF. I added 3-4 pay stubs in my employment letter PDF.

Thanks so much. Plz share your experience. Did you also submit POF from different bank and pay slips from other bank? Did they accept it and granted Canadian PR? Please guide.

I only submitted one POF from my bank. Pay slips/salary statements/pay stubs are issued by HR/Payroll, so you should be able to use that instead (that's what I used too).

I have multiple bank accounts, but I only needed one bank account to meet POF, so I only got POF letter from them and in the same POF pdf attached 6 month transaction summary from it to show balance over 6 months.

My application had no issues and I have my COPR now. Here's my time (you can also see it in my signature):

Thanks a lot. My pay slips are from Saudi bank, Not from HR. Because I worked in this company long before. So IRCC will know that i have Saudi account and I do have it even now. Plus I have Indian account. That's why m asking if I need to submit letters from both banks as IRCC knows I have both Indian and Saudi banks.
Since IRCC mentions we need to get letter from all banks where we have money, that's y I am confused. I don't want IRCC to reject my application because of 1 document.

I talked to a registered Canadian immigration consultant(RCIC) before doing this, so I'm pretty sure doing one bank's POF works. You can get on a call with a RCIC too, it costs you ~$100 to get confirmed next steps.

About payslips, they don't ask for it. We attach it to our employment letter as a proof.

Remember, POF and Employment letter are different. I haven't seen payslips requested for POF, but I've only seen payslips requested in for of ADR for employment.

Thank you very much for your kind response.

I have done several short online courses, do i need to include that as well in personal history section of canada application?

No. You are not claiming any points for those online courses so there's no point in including them in personal history (especially if you are the primary applicant).

Thanks so much.
For travel history, I went to other country and landed in a big city. But then I travelled to a town and lived there for 1 month. I didn't live in the city I landed in. So what should I fill in the 'City/Town I stayed in' section for that travel.

I lived across 4 countries for long times and had 4 entries for those in my passports. I travelled extensively within the countries, but I only added the main city (e.g. Frankfurt, Germany) but not the rest (e.g. Munich, Berlin, Dortmund, etc). Looking back at it, I see that there was no way was no docs to support travel history for those cities as I mainly travelled by a car. So my decision looks fine.

Talk to someone else about it though. This may not be the best advice on the topic (create a thread on it if you don't find answers on this topic already on the forum).

You mean you wrote only that city of landing based on the the entry stamps in passport?

 

[iSaidGoodDay]

Yes, that's what I did. I was not worried about cities in my application as my travel history was supported by visa stamps. But I could've made a mistake and still gone unnoticed. I'm simply sharing what I did in my application at this point, I've very little confidence (supported by any doc). I searched travel history on IRCC to find existing FAQs on it, but no luck: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship/helpcentre/search.html?_charset_=UTF-8&idx=10&q=travel history#wb-land

Maybe, there are other pages (not a part of FAQ) that could shed more light on this topic.

Since personal history asks to list all our activities for the past 10 years (even those activities that we are not claiming points for), that's why I have this question: should I include the short 1 month online courses that I have done? Plz guide.

This applies to a primary applicant - If you were working continuously from the last 10 years, there's no need to include 1 month online course in personal history. You only add something in personal history if you had a gap in work history.
