Ontario Tech Draw: 16-Feb-2021

[diya_tj]

Tell me about it ! I am in the same boat. I submitted on the March 17th via an agent. No update as of now. I even argued with the agent.

I think you can ask the status.
I requested a screenshot of my OINP status page to my agent.

Here you go

LETTER OF EXPLANATION​ Date: 09/06/2021 Subject: Letter of Explanation for Police Certificate, Singapore. Dear Immigration Officer, I’m writing this letter to explain the reason behind not uploading a Police Certificate from Singapore. As per the instructions on IRCC[SOURCE 1] and Singapore Police Force's website [SOURCE 2], I need a letter from IRCC before applying for a police certificate. I agree to apply on Singapore Police Force’s website for a police certificate, after recieiving a letter from IRCC. I also agree to upload the police certificate whenever it is available. Thank you for taking time to read the explanation. Regards, Name Goes Here Source 1: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees- citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/singapore.html Source 2: https://eservices.police.gov.sg/content/policehubhome/homepage/certificate-of-clearance-hub.html

Thank you very much. Please keep us posted on the revert from IRCC

I feel really sorry for the guys and gals who hired an agent to do this, OINP was a fairly easy and hassle-free process. Everything was candid, tbh.

However, I am worried for e-Apr, because I haven't gone through its documents list properly, but once I will go, I will post everything in detail here, so some of you don't go to an agent (again) just to get frustrated. They will do absolutely nothing to speed up or help you in getting this thing done as compared to you doing it yourself.
Those who are being put in darkness about their application ask your agent to give you the account details, email used for processing the request, and security questions.

I am just wondering how people feel comfortable sharing their every detail with Agents! Especially bank details, dayum, they can get you robbed or whatever

If they deny you giving the credentials, you can tell them that you will take legal actions If they do not give you the details! Those are your rightfully possessed credentials, plus you have paid them to do so. Please believe me, just 1 hour or max 2/3 will save you from extra anxiety and worrying caused by agents.

We all are here helping each other in resolving our hurdles.

Hey buddy, @mrsamcan

Express Entry Documents List

First of all, thank you very much for all the info you gave.

• I received the OINP nomination on June 10, so I have time till July 9th to accept it.
• Once I accept, I will have to wait for the next PNP draw to be invited.
• Once the ITA is issued, then I will have 90 days to submit the e-Apr. Official Site says 60 days only!!

Now, about documents;

• For the bank letter, they just need one Letter stating the current balance, all the debts, and an average balance for the last 6 months. Could not find the requirement for 6 months bank statement.
• If my average balance comes lower than the required one, but the current would be above, can this cause any issue?
• When I applied for OINP, I had a valid reason that I got married that's why my balance got lower in the previous months. However, OINP didn't have any problem with this, and they approved. Now, I switched the job and relocated, this again brought the balance drastically, but I am trying my best to make the balance above the required cut-off before submitting. Will I need to write an L.O.E for this? (Additional Document) or I can give them the statement of a long time so they can check that the balance was maintained except for these two reasons. (like I did for the OINP)
• Photographs need to have my name, dob, photographer's address on the back, how come this all is possible on a 2"x2.34" picture
• PCC - is required for any country where applicant/dependent(18+) have stayed more than 6 months in succession.
• Upfront Medical - here I am confused, I read in your post that they do not require Upfront Medical for now and will tell us when to do it!

MOTHER OF ALL ISSUES
I am sure, I won't be the only one to fear this, expiry of the EE profile while e-Apr is under progress. 6-8 months Is what is common now for getting approval, biometrics, medical, visa stamping, and finally green light to come into Canada. During all this, I am sure profiles will Expire
This is a far-future problem, but I am just putting it here, so people would get to know that they will have to do this as well.


Thanks!

Hi guys, Could someone please guide me..


I'm a Nepali Citizen living in India. I have got ITA on 9 June . Now I have to submit PCC. I have been living in India past 10 years. Till now, I have stayed in multiple states of India at least for an year. For example, I was in Delhi for 3 years, then in Mumbai for 2 year and now in Ahmedabad. Now, do I have to take police clearance from all the states where I have lived or just for my current address which is Ahmedabad?

Anyone who has faced this.

Thank you advance.

PCC has to be submitted for the country that you lived in more than 6 months. In your case you need to get a PCC for India and Nepal, also any other country you had lived more than 6 months. Hope this clarifies

I’m Curious to know about the “MOTHER OF ALL ISSUES “ and how to tackle that situation

Hahaha. I have read alot of articles here where people faced this issue.
I guess process will be simple.

• Create a new profile before the current one gets ineligible, atleast 2 weeks or earlier.
• Write an LOE to IRCC about profile getting expired.
• Ask them to issue the final approval on the new EE Profile Number. This is how many people dealt with their Provincial nominations i.e. asking provinces to transfer the nomination to their new profiles as the current one expired. So, I suppose similar will be the case for IRCC. They themselves should have made a section about this situation on their official site. Please point out the link, if there is any.

Hopefully it will be that simple.


Read this article please...
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/got-ita-ee-profile-will-expire-in-3-days-please-help.475622/

Once the ITA is received, profile won't expire unless we fail to submit docs within 90 days. But I'm not sure, if the profile will expire or not once e-apr is under progress.

Congrats .

Medical is only valid for 12 months. However, for outland candidates upfront medical is not required as of now.
PCC can be issued upon requesting consulate or Embassy in Canada first, then check the option on IRCC site how we can obtain from Canada. It is under police certificate, then select the country.

Previous history, as far as I know won't affect unless it was on serious misconduct or wrong information ground.

Quick question regarding the PCC, I have got an appointment on the 17th, can anyone tell me what and all should I carry to the passport office.?

 

[neeraj.u.sharma54]

Hi All,

People who got nomination today or after 9th June, would be having their ITAs only after 2 weeks when the next draw happens, so my question is, can we start preparing the docs in advance? like form filling, PCC or should we wait for getting checklist once we submit ITA. I just wanted to check whether we can utilize this time or not?

Hello Guys, could you please give me some guidance on above?

 

[neeraj.u.sharma54]

Posting my question again, if someone knows about this thing, please guid me on this.

Update:

What better way to start the day than writing a LOE.

Completed all LOEs, now waiting for "India PCC".

Where are the LOEs attached? In the optional documents?
