I and rumel bhai are the old member of that group. CIC has changed ECAS update system. Seen a person's Ecas total 9 lines !!!! So nothing to do.
অামা‌দের ম‌তো ঘাপ‌টি মাইর‌া মা‌টি কামড়াইয়া পইড়া থা‌কেন। খেলা কোন‌দি‌কে গড়ায় দে‌খি। CSE Raise কর‌ছেন না‌কি ভাই? MR ক‌বে অাস‌বে নতুন সি‌স্টে‌মে কেউ বল‌‌তে পার‌তে‌ছে না
CSE এখনও করি নাই, ভাই। এমন কোনও সদস্য কি আছেন এই ফোরামে যিনি আপনার/আমার মত একই পরিস্থিতিতে (Processng date before PER) ছিলেন এবং MR পেয়েছেন? মাটি কামড়ে পড়ে থাকতে থাকতে দাঁত খুলে আসার উপক্রম। ৮ মাস চলছে AOR পেয়েছি। দিনে ৬-৮ বার Mail Box/ECAS status check করি। :( :( :(

আরেকটা confusing ব্যাপার হলঃ সবার ক্ষেত্রে কিন্তু এটা হয়নি। Global Spreadsheet থেকে দেখলাম, বেশির ভাগ সদস্যের Processing date, PER এর পরেই । খুবই শঙ্কিত!!!!

How Much needed to Show at the Airport/POE :
No. of Pax ........... Funds Reqd-CAD
1 ....................... $11,086
2 ....................... $13,801
3 ....................... $16,967
4 ....................... $20,599
5 ....................... $23,364
6 ....................... $26,350
7 or more ........... $29,337

Is it necessary to carry the P.O.F. while 'Landing' ?
100%. A part of the 'Record of Landing' "Interview" is to ensure 'sustainability' in Canada by the applicant. The IO must ensure that you carry enough funds [based on LICO] which will help you settle easily, w/out any burden on Canadian Social Services. Remember, except for 'refugees' under the Refugees Protection Act, Canada doesn't offer financial assistance for any other categories of applicants.

Irrespective of the no. of family members performing the 1st landing, the entire POF [as per the chart above] must be shown to the IO at the POE. Subsequent 'landings' by the 'accompanying dependents' do not need to show the POF.

That means, whether the PA alone or one or more of his family members are 'landing' for the 1st time, the above funds are required. It's another matter whether the IO at the POE doesn't ask for it [very often that happens]. But, w/out the POF our entry can be 'Denied'.

Bank Statement/s as POF:
This issue has been dealt in detail [recurs frequently] here. The fact remains that we will actually need those monies once we land. Under avg, & usual circumstances -the POF described by the CIC is a necessity to survive in Canada, w/out a job, for approx. 6 months. Thus, in all earnestness we 'must' carry the 'landing funds' in a 'liquid' format* -easily accessible anytime upon landing.

Now, not all Bank Statements would be acceptable for 'landing'. There are instances when a Bank Statement was negated and the applicant was denied entry. I learnt it from the various forums & listening to the experiences of some families in Canada. Most 3rd world bank's statements will not be acceptable. Some examples were given, but I refrain to put-it-up here.

However, the statement/s of banks from UK, US, Norway, ANZ etc. were accepted in quite a few cases [I know of one personally]. Also, statement/s of International Banks [having a presence in Canada] were acceptable, viz. HSBC, Stanchart, RBC etc. But again, one case stated that their Citibank Statement was not accepted.

Now, here's a dichotomy. Our landing is supposed to be one of the most beautiful experiences of our lifetime. We have given our entirety to this process, didn't we? Something we had been looking forward to -for quite sometime now. What if a particular IO refuses to accept our bank statement?

Well, we have learnt that many of the bank's statement they do accept, but what if? And then, would we be running around towards all the possible hierarchy in the CBSA at the POE for a solution -which might come by, for sure? But won't that mar the thrills of our 'long-awaited-anticipated' first-foot into the Canadian soil? Do we take that chance? Is it that important to carry the bank statement than expect to come-out of the airport, with the family & kids, in 30-45 minutes, smoothly?

*I recommend carrying them in 1)Some Cash, 2)TCs & 3)a Bank Draft [it takes about 30+ days to encash that]. -all the 3 formats [only], No Bank Statement/s.

Note: Also to reiterate that all Immigration Consultants will tell you to carry 'only' one or more of the 3 above. They wouldn't advice you to take a bank statement, why? -Check-it out with some of them.

I hope that helped...

Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I have few updates regarding this situation. Still I haven't received any update from CIC after sending several emails. I tried to fax, but, unfortunately the fax number is not receiving my fax letter. I am already on the point to book my flight to BD. However, I want to give my best to avoid going to BD, if there are any possible ways. I have talked to FedEx in USA and they said that they have authorization to courier passport to BD and this is usual to them. Also, I have received the following email from BD VSF global.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for contacting VFS GLOBAL!!

Please be informed that, an authorization person (who will submit passport on behalf of you) with authorization letter duly signed by you along with a Photo Identity proof of your representative (i.e. Driving License, Passport, or Nation ID card) can collect the pas port. Also the representative should bring the invoice cum receipt (ICR), email communication with VFS and instruction mail along with him/her to collect your passport and other document/s.

Thanks in anticipation,

Regards,

Suman

Dear Mr.Suman,

Thank you for your prompt response. However, I have a concern about the statement you wrote "Please note that, during the passport collection applicant needs to be present physically to collect his/her own decision.

As I am in the USA, I can courier my passport to my representative in Bangladesh. But, if my representative can't receive my passport from BD CVAC, it will be impossible for me to travel from USA to Bangladesh without any passport.

Would you please let me know that could my representative receive my passport from BD CVAC if I give the authorization to him?

I have emailed to CIC in Singapore but didn't receive any response yet. Please advise me what else I can do as I am running out of time (22 days left only).

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for contacting VFS GLOBAL!!

Please be informed that, if you are instructed by High Commission of Canada, Singapore to submit your passport through VFS Canada Visa Application Centre and if you wish to submit your passport by your representative, then you are requested to fill up the ‘Use of a Representative (IMM 5476)’ form http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5476E.pdf and handover an authorization letter duly signed by you along with a photo Identity proof of your representative (i.e. driving license, Passport, or Voter ID card). Also the representative should bring the scanned copy of instruction mail along with him/her to submit the passport.

Please note that, during the passport collection applicant needs to be present physically to collect his/her own decision.

Thank you in anticipation,

Dear Concern,

I am a FSW 2014 applicant. I have received an email from CIC to submit my passport to Bangladesh CVAC office. Currently, I am travelling internationally and staying in USA. So, my question is:

* Do I need to present in person at the Bangladesh CVAC center to submit and receive my passport? Does any of my family members can take the authority to do that?

Hope to hear from you soon.
