Hi Everyone,

My brother has already finished his landing and activated his PR last year. He will be moving to Canada permanently in next few weeks. Therefore, in order to get the sibling 15 points, can I update my EE profile as soon as he lands in Canada or do I need to wait for some time ? On the documents side to claim the extra points, we are good to submit within 60 days after ITA.

Could anyone please clarify ?

Proof of relationship to a relative in Canada, status of a relative in Canada and residence status of a relative in Canada (including a brother or sister for the purpose of obtaining additional CRS points)
Purpose
To validate a claim of, and award points associated with, having

  • a relative in Canada who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (for the Federal Skilled Worker Program adaptability points);
  • an adult brother or sister who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident residing in Canada (for additional CRS points).
Document requirements
  • This documentation is required if the applicant indicates that they, or their accompanying spouse or common-law partner, have a family member in Canada who is a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen.
  • A copy of both sides of the family member's Canadian citizenship document, Canadian birth certificate and/or permanent resident card must be provided.
  • Evidence that the family member currently resides in Canada must be provided (a residential lease, mortgage documents, utility bills, etc.).
    • The documents must show their address in Canada and should be recent (dated within six months prior to submission).
  • Proof of the relationship of the applicant or the accompanying spouse or common-law partner to the family member must also be provided (e.g., a birth certificate, an official document naming the applicant as a relative, a copy of the inside back cover of the relative’s passport showing the relative’s parents’ marriage certificate, legal adoption documents and any other documents that prove or describe the relationship).
  • If the applicant claims a stepbrother or stepsister, there should be no evidence in the application that the marriage or common-law relationship between the parents of the stepbrother or stepsister has broken down.
Individuals who must submit this documentation
  • The principal applicant

Guys,

Another question, I have got X amount in wife's account as POF. Is it enough to get an NOC from her along with bank certificate or do I need to attach 6 months bank statement as well from her account.

Alternatively, would it be any better to transfer that amount from her account to mine and get a gift deed for the same.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Nope. It should be minimum 30hours/week to be considered as Full Time. Now even if you have worked 45 hours/ Week, it will be considered based on duration not working hours.
There is one loophole there. However that one would require following:
You would have to work by to employers and 2 different NOC at the same time. (for example you would work in the morning as a teacher and for the afternoons and weekends as a tax advisor and each of them would be for a different company)
Then you are able to get your years faster.
How your life would look under such setup I do not want to imagine.

ECA will take time and you are going to loose points soon. Keep in mind that IELTS for your Spouse will add quick points. Who know that get to something and an ITA.

We should not leave any stone un-turned. :) all the best.
Thanks for the advice. But, IELTS is a long shot for my wife (no offense but I know she will not be able to score good). Further, our one year old son doesn't allow her any free time for sleep, leave aside studying.

At crs 444, but spouse IELTs going to expire on 30th july, any chance to get ITA before that?
Regards
Most definitely you will get an ITA if draw is conducted on 24 July. However you will need to submit your full application and get the AOR before the IELTS expires. If you are able to do that your CRS will be locked for IELTS regardless of its expiry date. Only age points are locked immediately after ITA but for IELTS, its after the AOR.

For WES, can we just submit only the highest degree's transcript? My wife has a MBA degree from correspondence and WES is showing it as equivalent to Master's (10 marks). However, it is hard to get transcripts for other courses (BA, BEd, MEd). Will I be able to get 10 marks post her ECA?
Just having the highest evaluated degree by the WES or other evaluating bodies is good enough. However, sometimes case officer might ask for certificates or transcripts of bachelors while assessing eligibility. Depends on the officer mostly. But anyway, not a problem.

Well done my friend. If I had hard days with IELTS, you had even harder ordeal with it. Persistence is the key and you did exactly that. See they don't say it for nothing, it doesn't matter how many times you fall, the thing that matter is how quickly you stand up after you fall. You should be absolutely proud of yourself. To some extent I know how you must be feeling. The day you got your IELTS score with CLB 9, you will never forget it in your life. I won't, although mine was a call from IDP on Jan 22 about the EOR. Many many congratulations on your IELTS score and the upcoming ITA. If you need any help with the e-APR, you can always PM me! Good luck :)

i read somewhere WES need bachelors degree too, if you are going to masters evaluation.
Nope! They don't. As long as the education institute is recognized, they will evaluate accordingly assessing the credits earned with the degree.

Hi guys,

Quick question. Based on IRCC requirement for POF, it's stated average balance for the past 6 months. Is it going to be stated month by month for 6 months or just total amounts summed up and divided by the 6 months?

Thanks
The latter one. Then again, depends on the bank as well. Mine did with no hesitation, however, a friend of mine in Australia, the bank over there did not.

Let me get the transcript first for the MBA course. Will decide the next course of action then. Also will continue to search for more info till then.
