Hi. I got WES ECA report yesterday. It says: CANADIAN EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY >> "Bachelor's degree (three years) and bachelor's degree (four years)".

I am confused as to what does this imply? should i select "bachelors" degree option or "Two or more certificate, diploma or degrees" option. Would be really thankful if someone can clarify. Tx
Hi,

It means you have two credentials that are equivalent to Canadian Bachelors degrees. So you can select "Two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees...."

No I am an Indian (indian passport ).Never been to USA.It is just that took US B1/B2 couple of months back.Hence no FBI PCC taken.
Please let me know if FBI PCC or new PCC from BLS-India/Consulate is required if I visit US for 2-3 days ??

No.. if you go back to india the nyou need a new india pcc. if your trips to usa accumulate to 6 or more months then you need us pcc. I think you are good here.

my current name is different from the name on educational documen
IN IQAS form it says Proof of name change (for example photocopy of marriage certificate). Required only if your current name is different from the name on your educational documents

Please guys need some help with POF...
If i get funds from my father as tfr in my a/c then i get a fd in my name (backed by gift deed) . Now is there any requirement of avg balance in my bank a/c? OR Will fd be considered as part of bank balance and will be sufficient as POF combined with bank balance? Thanks..

Hi guys, i need your advice..

1. If bank is not willing to provide bank letter as per CIC standard, is it sufficient if bank states that i am a client of the bank and that all transactions i have made are to their satisfactory? however, no mention of bank account number nor opening date and average balances.
I intend to also provide 6 months bank statement stamped.
2. How old can bank letter be? say my letter is dated 1st August and i submit my application early oct? will it be okay?
Thanks a lot

Hello Friends!

1. How much time does it take tentatively once you submit the PR application to get final decision?
2. Once final decision comes, how many days to send passport for stamping ?

Appreciate your response.

Thanks!!

Hi Folks,

Please the Schedule A form, is it (IMM5669) or (IMM5669 E)? They seem to be different. Which is the current one?

Thanks.

Hey fellow future Canadians...got a quick question and seek your help. My case is a bit complicated. I have a EE profile and getting my documents ready. I am originally from India and moved to Australia on a PR. I later surrendered my Indian citizenship and now I am an Australian national.As per CIC website we need a Police Clearance Certificate(PCC) from a country where you have stayed since 18 yrs old. In my case this would be India as I was still living there. But now I am an Australian citizen.
I have now been in Australia for 8 years. So as per CIC we need a PCC issued after you last lived in the country which in my case would be 2009. As per CIC requirement I got my Indian PCC done from the Indian Consulate Melbourne in June 2017as I am now a foreign national. My visits to India for a holiday on both my previous Indian Passport which is now cancelled as well as my current Australian passport in all these 8 years has not been more than 6 months. I had to visit India recently for only 3 weeks in August this year. Would I need to get a new PCC again from the Indian Consulate ? Getting a PCC from India for a foreign national is a nightmare.
Your help will be appreciated.
