You will need to get a letter from the financial institution which maintains the PF. IRC wants the following format:

• The applicant should provide an official letter(s) from one or more financial institutions that lists all current bank and investment accounts as well as outstanding debts, such as credit card debts and loans.
  • o The letter(s) must be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution and must include the applicant’s name, the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and email address), the account numbers, the date each account was opened and the current balance of each account as well as the average balance for the past six months.

Thanks for your inputs!

The MyCIC status updates no not correspond to any specific stages of the application processing. Instead you should rely on which stage your application is at, rather than the MyCIC status and making a guess.

Request for urgent help and guidance regarding eligibility of 15 additional sibling points in my EE application .


After getting my ITA, while filling my application, I noticed the following paragraphs at “ HELP ? “ next to the application sections “ SIBLING “ and “ CRS SCORE “


You can be awarded points if you or your spouse or common-law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) has:

a brother or sister who is (on both the date you submit your profile and when you submit your application for permanent residence)

• 18 years of age or older
  
  
• a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
  
  
• living in Canada

Brother or sister relationships include:

• biological (this means you are related by blood)
  
  • brother or sister
    
    
  • half-brother or sister
• adopted brother or sister
  
  
• step-brother or step-sister (this means you are not related by blood or adoption, but your parents are married or in a common law relationship on both the date you submit your profile and when you submit your application for permanent residence)

CRS - Additional - PR or Canadian Sibling

Points can be awarded if the principal applicant or accompanying spouse or common-law partner has a sibling who is 18 years of age or older as of the date of application and who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident residing in Canada.

Sibling relationships include the following:

• Biological brother or sister
  
  
• Adopted brother or sister
  
  
• Half-brother or half-sister
  
  
• Step-brother or step-sister

My background is -

1. I created / submitted my EE profile at CRS 419 on 25th June, 2017.
   
   
2. My elder brother having a Permanent resident status who was living in India moved to Canada on 12th July, 2017 to permanently settle there.
   
   
3. Next day on 13th July,I updated my profile and enhanced my crs to 434 by claiming 15 sibling points
   
   
4. On 29th July, 2017 I also applied for OINP and my present status shows as ASSESSMENT.
   
   
5. I got ITA on 9th August, 2017.
   
   
6. Now as per the above paragraphs in application section of my EE profile, the sibling has to be living in canada on both dates i. e the date of submitting profile as well as on the date of submission of application for permanent residence.
   
   
7. Now as my sibling was in India when I recreated / submitted the EE profile on 25th June, 2017.

My concern is that I don't meet these both dates condition of my sibling living in canada.

Kindly let me know if I am eligible and qualify to obtain 15 sibling points. If not than I shall have to decline the ITA and proceed with OINP if I get the nomination.

I notice why is it that this condition of sibling living in canada on both dates is not mentioned anywhere on IRCC website or canada GAZETTE.

I also checked GLOSSARY section of IRCC website. Here in the SIBLING points description it mentions the two date condition in context with Step-brother / Step - sister only.

Sorry for this post being so long and hoping for an early reply. I can imagine how busy you must be. Many thanks

IRCC only wants you to show that your sibling is living in Canada, which can be done by showing address proof. This can be a utility bill, a bank statement with address, lease etc. The documents required does not ask to provide these document from a date when the applicant filed the application and got the ITA.

So you are fine as long as your sibling can show residence in Canada when you file your application post ITA.

Thanks a lot. Right, they are asking proof of sibling relationship, proof of permanent resident status of sibling and proof of his living there.
One more thing, I wish to know , my brother went there on Permanent Resident Travel Document and has yet not got his PR card. Will the passport page of his visa stamp and entry stamp be considered as a sufficient proof of his permanent resident status.

CEC is very slow and it is taking forever to even start processing. You should definitely call and email to enquire the status, you can also consider ordering GCMS notes, which provides a greater insight into your application. You can read more on GCMS here - https://www.getgcms.com/blog/gcms-notes-look-like-order/

Hello @legalfalcon,
Today i received a message saying " YOUR ACTION REQUIRED" TWICE. It is asking me to upload the IMM5562 supplementary information of travel form. I already uploaded it while submitting my form. My question is should i submit the same form again? As i received the message twice today at the same time, there are 2 new section in my CIC ACCOUNT named "document replacement required" asking me to upload the same form. Should i upload the same form in both the sections ?

Thank You
Regards.

No, you will need his signed CoPR if he does not have a PR card.

This is due to a technical issue. You can upload the same document and raise a technical support CSE.

Hey legalfalcon can you please respond to my pm. Thanks!

Dear @legalfalcon:

I have already submitted my eAPR. There's however one thing that is haunting me. I have uploaded a police certificate for my present address. Over here the police issues certificates on either the present address or the permanent address. I got one for each. But for the older address(also in the same city but different locality and hence a different local police station) I have none. According to the directions, I was to be issued certificates directly by the superintendent of the police of the security branch, which I did. Its just that my certificate says, "There is nothing criminal against him on the record of local police station (of the locality of my address)".
I spoke to the PCC issuing department, and they told me that as per the fixed format of the police security headquarter of my city, they issue the PCC only for the present or the permanent address, both of which I did get. I told them that my PCC says "as per record of local police station of current address" and doesn't mention the police station of previous address, which he explained telling me that the PCC mentions the local police address of your present address, but police investigation is done from each and every police station within the city, and is issued by the Superintendent of security under whose jurisdiction all the local police stations of the district come.. Moreover, if there is any criminal record against me, it is present with all of the Police stations within the city, as well as the police station of the city of my permanent address, by default. Seems like, my situation is a bit complicated now, as I know most of the rejections occur due to PCC deficiencies. Do you think my application will be rejected?

Immediately raise a CSE and explain this. This should have been in the LoE.

Will do that right away. I wish I knew better earlier. Thank you.

Hello Legalfalcon,
I am an Indian resident and got my India PCC on 16th Mar. I have received an ITA on 2nd Aug and wil be submitting my application by next week. So i was wondering if I need to get another PCC or will the old one be suffice.
Since CIC considers only 6 month from the date of issue, so i think, it is valid till 15 Sep. but I am not sure if it is a good idea to submit or get new one.

Thanks..

@lucky07 As per IRCC:

• For the applicant’s current country of residence, the police certificate must have been issued no more than six months before the submission of the e-APR.
• For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the last time the applicant lived in that country.
• Police certificates are required up front and are mandatory for each country (except Canada) where an individual has lived for a total of six months or more. This instruction is for the purpose of the completeness check under section R10. However, it is always at an officer’s discretion to request a new or additional police certificate.

As long as your PCC is in compliance with the above, you are good. Also make sure that the PCC was issued from PSK.

Hi LegalFalcon

As per CIC, below are the usual duties of the 2174 NOC applicants:

• Write, modify, integrate and test software code
• Maintain existing computer programs by making modifications as required
• Identify and communicate technical problems, processes and solutions
• Prepare reports, manuals and other documentation on the status, operation and maintenance of software
• Assist in the collection and documentation of user requirements

While drafting the employment letter, I mentioned my duties as

• Write, modify, integrate, debug and test software code
• Maintain existing computer programs by making modifications as required
• Identify and communicate functional & technical problems, processes and solutions
• Prepare reports, manuals, high level design and other documentation
• Assist in the collection and documentation of user requirements
• Lead and Coordinate teams of computer programmers

I recently came to know that it may invite call to the employer if someone has mentioned the duties as they are described on the CIC website.
Will it create any problem while doing the background check about my employment? If yes, then how to make sure the BG check goes fine. Kindly guide.
