Might be an error. How about sending back your passport with a note explaining your observations and requesting for a correction? Best of luck.

It would appear that you just missed the opportunity to apply. You could have applied within one year of leaving Canada as long as you have 2 years work experience in Canada. Check this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp

As a fellow parent, I share your pain deeply. May God console your family and give you the grace to recover from this terrible loss. I urge you to move on with strength in honour of your late lovely daughter. We say NO to terrorism!

While the intention behind this initiative may be laudable, it is controversial. We are gradually turning to a police state where citizens are encouraged to snitch on their neighbours. In recent weeks, this approach had been successful in apprehending some immigration offenders. However, it...

Did you get the CBSA agent to stamp your 'goods to follow list'? I recall that I had the same treatment when I landed the first time but the Agent stamped the list (kind of grudgingly though) without checking. On my second trip however (about 2 months later), there was an extensive scrutiny of...

O my O my! DHL again! This same courier company mixed up my spouse's transcript and delayed her professional certification by about 4 months. In the meantime, she lost several job opportunities. I do pray you get in before the cap closes. NOC 1122 is a really dicey one. Please keep us posted...

This is likely to cause you some problems as the father's names in both documents do not 'match'. Does the father name change from child to child in India? Did you include any proof of this culture in the package you sent? Obviously, you do realise that whoever is going to treat your case will...

For your first question, the answer is yes as long as you're FSW. I also put Ontario in my application but landed without problems in Calgary, March 2011. For question 2, I used my UK bank statement as proof of fund at the POE and had no problems.

Thanks Suenim.

Do you have any information about subsidized housing where your rent is pegged at 30% of income? Is this considered social assistance especially for sponsorship purposes? Thanks.

Congratulations and Welcome to Canada!

Congratulations!

I landed Calgary in March. For this very reason of unfavourable exchange rates, I did not convert all my funds and used my Barclay bank statements as POF without problems. You can read my experience at...

Congrats shibleed and welcome to Canada! Although I'm in Alberta, I hope to hook up with you one of these days if I come to Toronto. Once more, welcome and may all your dreams come true as you work hard at settling in Canada.

I guess you're referring to my post. I did not just pay to a ghost landlord. I have friends in Calgary who viewed the house, signed the agreement on my behalf and paid the deposit. I am right now living in the apartment and having it before landing helped me to settle down really fast.

Congrats shibleebd! I have been watching your case in particular on this thread and I am so happy for you. I wish you a happy landing and great future in Canada. I landed in Calgary last week and I can tell you it is indeed a great country with many potentials. Your wait was worth it.

Proof of Funds at POE I have landed in Calgary and I can confirm that there is no need to carry funds in a particular format. In fact, the IO specifically asked for my bank statements and then converted the amount to CAD from £s. There was no need nor any request to show any other form of...

Landed in Calgary on Monday. Journey was smooth. Still busy trying to settle down now but will post my experience in due time. Just a quick note on POF....there is ABSOLUTELY no requirement that it must be bank draft, cash or traveller's checks as opined by some members. In fact, I did not...

Use this site: http://www.rentfaster.ca/calgary.php I rented my apartment by using the site and contacting the landlord. I will be landing in Calgary soon but have already paid for the apartment and received the rental agreement.
