First off, you are welcome to agree or disagree with my point of view. But, if you want to call my statements childish or anything else, you can go take your conversation somewhere else. In March 2009 ( when I sent in my application to AINP), 1 US $$ = 1.26 Canadian $$, which meant if I had...

If CIC wanted any kind of back up, they would have mentioned so. As far as I am concerned CIC or any other immigration agency is pretty specific when asking for documents like these. Like I mentioned in one of my other posts, when I sent in my application for a work permit for another country...

Did CIC ask us to send bank statements etc? I would like to know how many AINP applicants actually sent bank statements showing their exact funds.

You need to be able to show the specified minimum in liquid assets - meaning $$ you can expend.

But, you have to understand a lot of us have our funding in US Dollars. Since then the value of the US $$ has gone down in comparison to the Canadian dollar, which means we have less Canadian $$ in terms of current rates. As long as we are able to meet the minimum specified we should be fine.

Yes, we did fill this. But, we were not required to back it up.

Their main intention is to make sure you can sustain yourself in the interim period between landing and finding a job. I personally think you should be fine as long as you meet the above specifications. Its been almost 2 years since this whole process started and things have changed, like...

This is the only guideline we have, since AINP never specified anything in the first place.

Just saw a couple of other cases on Trackitt, and CIC asked for proof of funds before they issued ppr. This seems to be becoming the norm. So, better be prepared.

pk...There is a 1-800 number for IRS. Why dont you give them a call, and ask them how you can obtain a coy of the transcripts.

I applied for a work visa for another country and I had to submit my bank statements for the last one year. I had to show a link between my paystubs, my deposits and my W2. Moreover, I had to get a letter from the bank stating that my statements were authentic.

Most of us are not in Canada. We are just the unlucky few who got stuck in Buffalo.

Not sure what exactly you mean. But, there are people who have left the country after they submitted their applications and have gotten passport requests. In any case, most applicants are still in the country.

Yes, I ordered from caipsnotes.com. I think its their normal processing time. They said the request to I think their office in Ottawa, who then sends it to Buffalo. And I guess the delay is in Buffalo.

As of now, they have nothing much to say. We will wait and see if we can get a better answer after we send the enquiry.

Its a copy of your file. Gives you details of your file, your file bring forward date, decisions made so far, if any etc.

Yes. Hope to have it by the 3rd or 4th week of Feb. Unfortuantely, it takes about 8 weeks.

Joseph...Looking at your timeline, there's a big chance your file will get transferred. They still don't seem to have gotten to yours yet.

Because there are some of us who have been on this forum a long while, and we have seen just a couple of pprs (maybe even one) after we received our Intial Assessment letters; there's absolutely no sign of progress. For most of us its already been six months or beyond since our medicals. For...
