Hi Admins,

I finally received ITA today, however, there are a few queries so please help me out:

Just to give my background I moved from India to Canada for studies and then started working here. I have another 44 days to go to complete my 1 year of Canadian work experience. I created my EE profile under FSW in March 2020 since I had work experience of over 5+ years back in India and my CRS score was at 480.

Clearly I should have received FSW ITA this draw (yesterday). However, I got the ITA under the CEC category. I did declare my Canadian work experience in my work history but I still have 44 days to go to complete a year at work.

Few points to note- my profile is already updated with 40pts towards Canadian experience on July 1st. Is that okay?

Can I accept this invite now or wait till I officially finish 1 year and then accept (within 90 days I need to accept or decline ITA) or decline the invite for now and wait for the next draw?

If I proceed with the current invite, will my profile will be assessed by CIC based on Foreign experience or Canadian experience? I didn't edit my EE profile since the time of creation.

Please advise

Thanks bud! I have officially submitted my application and received my AOR. :D
Too quick mate. Good Job !

I was actually waiting for the ITA to get most of the documentation done due to all this COVID uncertainty of draws. But, now I guess it is right time to keep documents prepared. Good Luck :)

Just submit your AOR after 44 days.

Oh absolutely! I am so glad I got all my documents sorted before receiving an ITA. Even if some are out of date and you have to get newer versions, that's better than having to source everything for the first time only after receiving an ITA. Even outside of a pandemic. Get as much sorted as you can now, to be prepared. Then you can submit a speedy application, like I did. :D

Perfect. If I obtain the employment letter now, it will still be valid if I get an ITA in August, lets say? Or I would have to get a new one then? Whats the best practice in this?

Hello, I have a question on proof of funds. I have see other posts about this. But I am still confused.

After ITA, do we have to submit 6 month statements of my credit cards ? Or just the balance of the credit cards, at the time of the application, are enough. I have a high credit card balance. So worrying about sending 6 statements.

Do IRCC looks at the net amount we have? (Saving - Credit Card)

Thanks

It will be fine. You can get it now, in advance, like I did. If you already have enough weeks of full-time employment to get your CRS by getting the letter now, then that is what IRCC will want proof of. If you don't need any extra points that would come from getting a new letter right before you apply, there is no point in getting an updated letter. My reference letter is dated March 2020. I didn't get a new one now, after my ITA, because with that letter, I already have over 3 years of proven experience. :)

You need 6 months. From what others here have said, IRCC wants an end-of-month balances for all accounts (including amount owed on your credit card) for 6 months leading up to when you apply. That needs to be on that official bank letterhead, with stamps, from a branch. I got that today. I also included 6 months' of statements, just to be safe. Hope that makes sense!
