    Post ITA - 'Representative' section

    "An applicant can appoint a person to do business with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on their behalf. Does XXX (name of applicant) want to allow IRCC give their information to an appointed person (such as an immigration consultant, lawyer, friend or family member) to...

    Query regarding Spouse's family members' travel history

    Where in the CIC system are these details required?

    Detailing period of Travel in Personal History and Address History Section

    On the second question - my gut feel was that it would be totally hideous and unrealistic to list all addresses while you are travelling. 99% of people wouldn't remember all the details or keep a tracking list of all the hotels, lodging places, airbnb, friend's apartments, etc. It's just too...

    Proof of funds question

    Good thoughts and thanks! I totally agree with the risk aversion principle. We don't know how much they know, so being honest as much as possible and adhering to the written rules are probably the best option. That'd limit the effect of having to depend on the CIC assessors' sympathy if they...

    Proof of funds question

    What's your view on student loans? I had a degree in the US from which I took some loans. Should I disclose it too?

    Post ITA POF - are funds under spouse's name eligible?

    Hi just a quick question - I know it must have been answered but buried somewhere Post ITA question - applying with accompanying spouse. Can I use bank documents under spouse's name as POF, or at least part of POF joining with my own POF? I am the principle applicant. I know a signed...

    Disclosing travel after ITA

    I would assume CIC reserves the rights to request applicants to back submitted travel history with evidence of not purposefully omitting certain travel details. If they have any doubt (based on common sense maybe) they can simply ask for the old passports. If an applicant gets caught in not...

    post ITA - Do I need to arrange IELTS reports be sent / make available to CIC?

    Thanks again! Yup I'd absolutely upload it if I had it. My TRF was lost in the mail and the agency's policy says they won't release any second copy to the test taker. I have everything about this test, including a screen shot my of scores when I checked on line, correspondence with the test...

    post ITA - Do I need to arrange IELTS reports be sent / make available to CIC?

    Thanks for the comment but that was not related to my question. My question was weather CIC can automatically access my scores with my TRF number, or I will have to arrange a hardcopy to be sent via my ielts organizer.

    post ITA - Do I need to arrange IELTS reports be sent / make available to CIC?

    Hi guys, Just got ITA. A very silly question - do I need to ask my IELTS organizer to send CIC my IELTS reports? I never received my score report (presumed lost in the mail) but have a screen grab of my scores and TRF number. Previously I asked the organizer to send an extra hardcopy TRF...

    Invitation then express entry

    I am really sorry that I don't know much about the details of any 'family reunion' route. I just figured it must exist somewhere to logically make it easier for persons in your situations to reunite with immediate family in Canada. There gotta be otherwise the immigration system just doesn't...

    Invitation then express entry

    Might be a very silly question - if your parents and brothers are Canadian citizens, why are you going through the EE route? Wouldn't a family reunion type route be better?

    Hong Kong - China Travel History required?

    I see. Yup, the 'return permit' is literally a 'return to/visit hometown permit' in Chinese, which might not be applicable to non-Chinese people, presumably.

    Someone has experience evaluating credentials from closed college?

    It's difficult to say because basing on the origins of the graduating institutes, the ECA agencies request different credentials. However if it was just a name change by your college it's much better than graduating from an extinct one. Do yourself a favor, go to the websites of the ECA...

    Someone has experience evaluating credentials from closed college?

    Maybe other people who have the same experience could give more insightful comments - but I think it highly depends on the credibility of this college when it existed. Was is recognized by most ECA agencies? Is it completely closed or changed to another institute under a different name...

    Hong Kong - China Travel History required?

    Just curious - did you use passports for HK/China border passing or other travel documents? A related question is whether you are citizen of either PRC or Hong Kong (Permanent resident)? If you are any of these you wouldn't be using your passport, right?

    ITA Query

    I still don't understand the needs for a consultant. The entire EE process is quite straightforward. Sometimes you need to react in time to requests/inquiries. Hiring a consultant seems to be the least efficient way of navigating all these. Besides, this forum is way better as source of...

    Should I start my application? If so, how?

    Maybe it will be helpful to share with us about your situation? To begin with, why don't you think you are qualified for any of the three streams (FSWP/FSTP/EC)? Did you do the due diligence to go through the criteria? You don't meet the minimum criteria for any of these three?

    Should work experience counting for FSW 67 point be within past 10 years?

    Okay. I see your problem. I'd say it's a bit fluffy in how they describe these eligibility criteria for counting towards the 67/100. I'd defer to more experienced experts to shed some lights.
