I contacted through email.

Don't worry guys, savings account money is good enough. savings and checking account money is good. investment is bad. since investments mature after a fixed amount of time and only then you can withdraw the amount from bank. I think this is the logic.

Looks like I cannot appeal. I got the reply now that investments are not transferable and hence cannot be counted as proof of funds. They are asking me to submit a new application. I am in no mood to go through this again. Good luck guys!

Thank you guys. I have asked for ways I can appeal or amend this situation. Personally this is really really unreasonable. Why should I not invest some of my money (in canadian banks!) to get interest?!?! why the heck are they expecting students to hold all money in checking account and nothing...

I got the rejection letter today for lack of funds. For two people I had to show $13800 and I had showed $15000. Unfortunately $1500 of that amount I showed is in the form of guaranteed investment certificate from canadian bank and the officer has informed me that they wont take this amount into...

I got only 30 days to submit proof of funds. wonder why the difference.

if I remember correct, when he applied the first time, he included his banking history.

Hi guys, I have also been asked to submit banking history and proof of funds. This has become fairly routine now. Nothing to do with the applicants nationality. I have been given 30 days time to respond. I need some advice. I am short of the required 11K amount by about 3k. I had loaned my...

I recently got married (in december) and notified Ottawa about it, in order to know what documents they would need for my wife. I got a standard replying saying that my file was under review and that I dont have to send anything until they notify me further. Surprising to find that even after 1...

Hey all I got my PER email today. Please update my status..

If you ask me, I would say students from my uni have gotten PR with the same letter I got from HR. I dont know where the $20 thing comes from. I will also tell you my total funding package is a little above 30k per annum (salary + benefits).

Yes, the letter says im a full time graduate student and RA and TA. its a little ambiguous. I was given a letter that says 6 hours per week of TA per term and 34 hours per week for RA per term. The annual salary is then given. I guess CIC can calculate what is the pay per hour.

Hello all, Just to confirm with everyone here before I resend my employment letters. I am sending one letter from the HR/dept. that talks about my job title ( and full time), working hours per week (both TA and RA), total annual salary plus benefits and finally the period of my employment. Then...

Carol and AST: In your letter from the CIC, was any part of the mail bolded to highlight what is missing from the earlier employment letters you sent them?

Just a quick question: The human resource department at one of the universities I worked in told me clearly today that they wont be stating the duties and responsibilities in the letter that they give me. So pretty much they would give me the same letter I submitted to CIC before. Should I just...

I made a big mistake there too. Did not bother to take photocopies of submitted documents since I assumed the information in the employment letters would not change if i asked for a copy later. I have a copy of the letter from one university while I dont have anything for the other. Damn!

Hi guys, this is the email I got today from CIC. Hope some of you can help me with this: Dear xxxx, The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism issued instructions which were published in the Canada Gazette on November 5, 2011. These instructions specify that applications...

Everybody is wrong :D I am the only applicant. I only have RA/TA exp. I am from India and I have work exp only from Canada : Looks like all of these conditions have been issued PER. And I haven't. By some weird logic those who applied earlier seem to be getting PER late. haha. or I am...

Hey guys, i am from India. It is quite possible that the PR system is similar to how it is in the US for green card. In the US they want to make sure all nationalities are more or less proportionally represented. It is common (and in fact a known thing) for chinese and Indian nationals to have...

This is interesting. People with only TA/RA experience are getting mixed response based on what has been said here. I guess the process is really random. I dont know how my app is going to proceed now. Waiting.
