Congratulations! So how did you deal with that POF request back in May? Did you just ignore it? :)

Greetings everyone! I just received my PR card, so I wanted to share my experience waiting with you. Maybe this will help someone who is also in the same situation. I landed on May 25, 2014, and heard nothing from CIC for about two months, after which time I called their help line. The...

I had the same problem---and jaroos's solution did not work for me---apparently this service now filters calls based on the area code. I solved this problem by calling +16139444000 through Skype; the call was then successfully transferred to CIC. Maybe I was able to do it because my Skype...

Congrats buddy! Plus one to the list of successes on our forum.

Please do not mislead people. A strong letter from an adviser (or better, departmental assistant or HR officer) is absolutely sufficient to prove duties and hours. No one on my memory has been rejected on this forum due to not including non-essential documents such as T4 slips. On the other...

That is exactly what they don't like and why they ask for proof of funds. Though you could try suggestions of Dany1982 or Parkinson and see what comes out of this. No, $550 fee is not refundable, RPRF is. Usually large deposits after POF request result in a rejection. But if you can explain...

It does not hurt for them to ask for RPRF as it is refundable even if your application is refused at a later stage. I would order the GCMS notes to see what notes did the officers leave. Small fluctuations of your balance below the minimum $11,824 are natural and normal, as long as from your...

Indeed. That is really upsetting, to go all the way through immigration and be refused to land. Good luck with your landing this time!

Sorry to hear about your experience, Melhem1, and thanks for sharing this story. Hopefully you will land successfully this time. Are you sure though that you were rejected because of the residency issue? It appears to me, the problem might have been due to you showing the account balance of only...

When exactly were you rejected, and when did you email them? Usually they reply within 3- to 4-days time but sometimes it takes weeks, or they can ignore your inquiry whatsoever. I would schedule an appointment with the MP (Member of Parliament) right away, literally do it in the morning. You...

Hi minhas13, Write an email to CPP-Ottawa explaining your situation. Attach this bank statement and all other statements that you have, which, combined, would make it clear you had enough money on the day they refused your application. If you *did* have enough money and they just assessed your...

Greetings fellow forum users: I wanted to share a neat trick for the address change with you. When I entered Canada, I provided the border control officer with my new address in Canada. Later, when I checked my eCAS, I noticed that the home address was updated but the mailing address was not. I...

Hi guys, Just a quick update on my application... I landed on May 25, the process was really smooth, no proof of funds requested... The officers were really friendly and helpful. Good luck to everyone waiting for the news from CIC! And do not forget to update the letter of reference. -kg.jadu

Update: I successfully entered Canada as a worker. The CBSA officer who examined my passport told me that I *have to* land if I have an immigrant visa. She even asked me if I changed my mind and did not want to immigrate (of course I wanted, but later). Then she sent me for "landing" to an...

Oh, I see now what you mean. Yes, I agree with you then.

Dear ASG, That's interesting. Could you please clarify why exactly your application was rejected? Back in March, you'd said that and If I understood your case, the problem was not in the particular NOC you have chosen, but in the fact that the leading statement and/or duties did not match...

Hi bioleaching, They definitely must award you points for adaptability AND PhD degree even if you completed your program after submission of the application. I second S_Govind and beh467, you should definitely write them an email stating that you submitting the documents (attach proofs) and...

Have you seen this? "Backgrounder — Expression of Interest (EOI): Preparing for Success in 2015" The Government believes Canada can and should compete actively to attract the best and brightest newcomers to resettle here. That’s why we are getting set to treat most immigration applications in...

Oh, sorry, my bad.

Please listen to beh467 and update your reference letter ASAP. And yes, if you don't have 1 year of experience minimum, they'll assign 0 points for work xp and reject you.
