Not having paystubs will not be an issue. It is not a required document (because many employment does not provide one!) and is something that is rarely asked for.
Even if they ask for those, you can write a letter explaining the absence of those.

Yes, your medical from Feb 2017 will be fine. If you do not get a decision on your file until 21st Feb 2018, they probably will ask you to get another one done.

Hope this helps!
 
Hi guys,
I have a query for my friend, he has paper based application with IRCC and its been 08 months, by this time we were expecting medical, but meanwhile we received a letter saying that application is likely to be refused as visa officer isn't satisfied with the IELTS Score. Below is the IELTS result

Listening: 6.5
Reading: 3.5
Writing: 6.0
Speaking: 6.0

Please: He applied based on the nomination received from SINP (Saskatchewan PNP) on family economy program.

This letter is of 03 pages, the VO mentioned following points in 03 pages letter:
a. VO is not satisfied with the english competency, the candidate applied under the NOC of Lawyer advocate, and such profession requires high english level , e.g CLB 8.0
b. The above mentioned ielts score satisfies the requirement of family nominee program of province, however it is not enough to be able to contribute as potential candidate for the economy of canada.
c. I understand that you have family connection in the province to support you, however, they can't help you much in your professional life to stabilize with the complex legal preceding of a lawyer's job.
d. You've 90 days to submit any document to support your position, else you application is likely to be declined.

So, We left with 35 days more to reply them and thinking on following possibilities: Pls advise
a. we should submit them revised/improved ielts result, equal to CLB 7 or 8.
b. in worst case, on not succeeding in ielts, we can hire some solicitor in canada, as his brother is living there, and they can claim that ielts score meets the PNP requirement, therefore he got the nomination, or any other reason which a local canadian solicitor may assist in.
c. or we can submit a revised ielts, let see whether it gets accepted, in case it is failed, application will get declined, can we high lawyer at that stage?

Thanks for reading and your opinion.

Regards,
Abdul Qayyum
I am not a lawyer but based on my understanding of Canada Immigration, here are my thoughts:

I believe it is an absolute priority to submit better IELTS scores. Although nominated by a province, immigration is at the discretion of the federal government. Provinces can nominate or recommend candidates but the final decision will be with the Government of Canada. You friend will need to satisfy their requirements. You may want to speak to a lawyer as they will be able to provide you with the best answer to your question and whether filing a case through the courts would be beneficial.

Haven't been here awhile. But just an update that my application got refused. I was facing misrepresentation, however, they did not find it and I am hoping to get an ITA next draw. Here's to hope.

Good luck! If you don't mind me asking, what made them allege misrepresentation. Was it CIO or LV

I got a weird request from CIC.

We have begun processing your application for permanent residence, and in order to make a decision we require the following information/documents.
Additional Family Info IMM5406:

I have no additional family, not married, no kids.
Also, does this mean I passed eligibility and being SS now? And where do I upload the form in my account?
