Hi
@legalfalcon, I see you are a very authentic source of information when it comes to Permanent Residence applications, I have a query, I had submitted my application in December 2019 and also submitted my proof of funds, the exchange rate was 117.20 which made my amount equivalent to 16,914 CAD while the required amount was 15,772 CAD. Now due to the increase in exchange rate, today it is 126.01 which is equivalent to 15,705 CAD. My current balance, however, is equivalent to 18,809 CAD, as my salary is transferred in this account, eight months after the application has been submitted and delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic but IRCC does not know my current balance as they have not requested a new statement or haven't yet raised an additional documents required notification to me.
In a webform I raised back in April 2020, I got the following response:
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
You will find below useful information that we hope will help understand the process and current status of your application for permanent residence:
· Your application was received via
your account on December 17, 2019.
· Your application meets the
eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied,
- The background verifications are currently valid.
- The security background verification is currently valid.
- The criminal background verification is currently valid.
· Your application is currently located at the Canadian visa office in London, United Kingdom.
Shall I somehow provide them with my updated bank statement before they request for one, or does this reflect that my application is already close to approval and all documents/files have been scrutinized?
I hope I get a response from you soon. Thank you.
Stay Safe.
