Hi All, I was wondering when to submit the proof of funds. Should I submit the bank letter together with my application package, or send it later upon request by cic? Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for replying. I mean it was stated 40 hours/week on the letter from our HR department... So I shouldn't submit that one, and just submit my supervisor's reference letter (to claim 25 hours), right?

Hi chakri264, at my university, everyone's RA is 40 hours. Say that if I just submit my supervisor's reference letter (my supervisor is ok with that), could I just claim 25 hours?

Thank you so much.

Really? I thought Master assessment should be enough. So expensive...

Hi All, I have a question about the ECA. Should I do the assessment for both master degree and bachelor degree, or just the master degree? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, This year's cap ends at April 30. Do you think CIC will continue this stream for the next year? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I attended a workshop today, and the consultant there (RCIC member) said that the RAship will not be counted unless it is taxable. Any ideas?

Hi seniors, I have a question which bothered me for a long time. Should I have the settlement funds ready when I submit the application, or before I am asked for the proof of fund? If this money should be ready when the application is made, does that mean I have to get this money prepared 6...

Thank you very much!

Hi seniors, An irrelevant question. How did you get your spouses to Canada? My wife got one rejection for her TRV (the reason is that VO didn't believe that she'll leave Canada after visit). I will apply for immigration under this phd stream next January but it really takes time. So we consider...

swear under the penalty of perjury? Is it complex to do that?

Thank you.

Thank GeoCanadian and mkrp21 for your quick replies. Another two quick questions. 1. Usually, how long will it take (how many months after the application) when CIC requests proof of fund? 2. My wife has $16,000 saving in her account (a Chinese bank), which has been saved for more than 2...

Hi All, A quick question. I'd like to use my 2 year part-time RA experiences as one year continuous one year experiences. However there is one month vacation that I returned to my home country. Does that matter? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I will apply for FSW in April 2014, so there is one year to go. As CIC require only 6 months bank history, could I borrow (or get) some money and save it in my account 6 months before they require it? In the meantime, I can keep my balance smooth.

Hi, I am a PhD student in my second year. I plan to apply this FSW PhD stream next year. I have a question about the proof of funds. I didn't have that much money in my bank account right now (only $6,000). But I can get some from my father, relatives, etc. Is it OK to borrow some and save in...

Thanks for reply. I think 99% spouse visitor will stay in Canada after the visit. It is really hard to convince VO? Could anyone give me some suggestions about the ties? Thank you so much!

Hi all, I am new here. I saw this thread and very interested in SOWP. Which one is easier based on your opinions? TRV or SOWP? Thanks very much.

Hi All, I have a concern about the RA hours here. My university assumes every graduate students to have 40 hours/week RAship, no matter how much they earn. I have RAship of 19,000/year, which is $9.13/hour. Is it OK for the PhD stream? I am in my second year so I'd like to change the contract...
