Sure...

One and the same :). Landed in April ...

6 months bank statement is more than enough plus if I remember correctly, they didn't ask for that for your application. They ask for it later on if they want to see it. Only submit what they asked for as per the checklist.

You don't need it but again, I recommend having it done. If you decide to go back to school when you move to Canada, they will ask for it. Some employers may also ask for it while carrying out background checks. However, it's not needed to submit your application.

For everyone that keeps asking if they qualify, you can have a look at the following link before commenting so this thread can be kept on track, please. Thanks - Do I Qualify for the Federal Self-Employed Program?.

If you are a freelancer earning income, surely there's an account dedicated to your business, invoices, receipts provided and/or registration of your business name somewhere, right? If you're just selling paintings and artwork without any paper trail or payments of tax (if you live in a tax...

You should be able to apply for other streams you qualify for if you are rejected from the self-employed stream. HTH.

I do both. It started as a contract but they liked me so much, they invited me to stay permanently and I took it up. Still run my business on the side.

List all your bank accounts. If there's zero dollars in one of the accounts, put zero dollars in the total column.

No it's not. This is people who applied under the Self-employed program though there are one or two people who also applied under FSW at the same time. You can go through the thread to find out who they are. Thanks.

My visa office was London but visa and COPR were issued in AD. I didn't go to any interviews or the embassy. Passport was sent to them and returned via VFS. HTH.

Yes, the total amount you have for settlement must be unencumbered liquid funds. It cannot be assets. You don't have to maintain that balance after application but you have to have that amount when they ask you for POF or further POF later on in the application process. And it cannot be a large...

You're conflating two different things here. Open work permit has its own forum as theguv mentioned. If you are interested in applying under the federal self-employed stream for him, please ask your questions as it relates to this. What is his NOC? How and why does he qualify for this program...

That is not true. They specifically state if you send them any CC details, your application will be sent back to you. Follow the link provided to choose the fees applicable to you and you will be taken to a portal where you can make a secure payment. Do not send any CC info to IRCC.

You're welcome. I'm not 100% sure but I think someone on here applied as a librarian and there has been some discussion on how to represent your experience as a librarian. I recommend going through the thread to find the person and connect with him or her. HTH.

Not really. If you've linked it and no updates this long, then the next step is the gcms notes.

While this is an unusually long wait time, it has happened before but it's rare. You should apply for GCMS notes. By the way, have you linked your application to your online profile yet?

That is an interesting development. Though they do mention you may be called for an interview, I've never come across anyone who went in for one. Best to get all your documentation together as best as you can and be ready for any questions they may ask. What's your NOC btw?
