    Proof of Fund

    These are to support the required funds. If you're a billionaire, you don't have to show them your entire investment portfolio. You must list all debt though.

    Work Experience in PR

    Search the forum for notarized letters signed by managers. I'm not sure how effective these are, but I can see it being a good replacement to a standard company letter if it's coupled with payslips and bank statements to show you were paid by that company. Only someone who tried that method and...

    Internship/Trainee Experience

    From the IRCC website: If you worked full-time hours, and were paid for your internship work, then it counts as full-time work experience. The format if your experience letter should mention that you were paid X amount for your work, especially if it mentions you worked part of your time there...

    is 470 CRS going to be competitive 1 year from now?

    It all depends on the pool really, so no one knows what can happen in 2020.

    CRS Score

    Did they take a language test and get their degrees evaluated? If so, then they should definitely create a profile and wait. Scores can drop (although unlikely in 2019) or they may receive a nomination.

    Purpose of Travel for wife

    Why not mention that she's accompanying you on an open work permit? :rolleyes: There's nothing to hide really.

    Work experience - remote worker with travel history

    No specific LOE template, though it wouldn't hurt to make the officer's life easy by using page numbers and perhaps an index at the beginning of your letter.. that is if you've got a lot to explain.

    Part Time Work - Points Calculation

    According to this article on the IRCC website: Your skilled work experience must be: in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application (called your primary occupation) within the last 10 years paid work (This means you must have been paid...

    Is only reference letter enough???

    What's a joining letter? A contract? Whatever you can get, get.. Other than that, don't stress over something not listed in the requirements.

    Proof of funds sample

    I wasn't asked for any proof personally either when I did a short landing (and declared more than $10k) or when I moved permanently. But it doesn't hurt to have it on you just in case.

    Applied to IRCC before?

    Great. If you're asked about a UCI number, it should be written in the work permit. I had mine written in my visit visa which I had before applying for PR.

    Applied to IRCC before?

    Answer should be yes. Do you have any visas stamped in your passport?

    Is only reference letter enough???

    Yup. Website, Facebook, social media, LinkedIn, etc. Basically when you Google them, something comes up.

    Will Canadian Work Exp count for FSW

    You're right, I take what I said back. The CRS questionnaire actually says: ii. In the last 10 years, how many total years of foreign skilled work experience do you have?

    Will Canadian Work Exp count for FSW

    That's not correct, only 1 year of continuous work in a particular NOC is the minimum, regardless of how many jobs you worked.

    Will Canadian Work Exp count for FSW

    Edit: you can combine your total work experience, just make sure at least 1 year is continuous work, regardless of how many employers you worked for. I̶ s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶.̶ ̶I̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶C̶R̶S̶ ̶p̶o̶i̶n̶t̶s̶ ̶c̶a̶l̶c̶u̶l̶a̶t̶o̶r̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶a̶s̶k̶ ̶2̶ ̶s̶e̶p̶a̶r̶a̶t̶e̶...

    Transferring money from UAE to Canada

    First time Landing Checklist

    While in my case they didn't ask for any proof of funds, I personally declared more than $10k in cash. So either having the money or declaring that it exists, helps a lot. The list of goods will help when you move permanently to Canada as they won't pose any customs fees for stuff that was...

    First year taxes

    Also keep in mind it's worldwide income. So if you're accruing interest in your home country, you should be honest and declare it.
