Is there any info on the acceptance/rejection rate for ITA applicants ? Or is it the case that as long as an ITA applicant is able to provide all the documentation required to confirm their eligibility, they are more or less guaranteed acceptance? Does anyone know what the application looks like? It would be useful for people who haven't reached the ITA stage to get a sense of all the materials requested on the ITA application. The medical and police records are the obvious ones known to most pre-ITA folks, but based on each person's unique situation, there might be other things on the application that might take a while to acquire. Would be good to be able to begin working on that if one thinks they have a fair chance of getting ITA.
I gathered all my documents before ITA. I was waiting for WES evaluation and hence the delay. I got all my work reference letters, educational documents, language tests and PCCs ready. I converted all my files to PDF and made sure they are all within 4MB. I even made an excel sheet of my travel and personal history. Now that I have the ITA, I dont have to look at my passport for stamps and rummage through my emails looking for travel bookings where there are no stamps. I have medical booked next week and have to get bank letters. Other than that, I am filling the lengthy form and have to upload all my documents. I should be ready to submit my eAPR at the end of this month.
Once you get your ITA, your initial form gets locked and you cant make any changes. So if you say you are a rocket scientist, you might as well have documents to prove it as you cant change that detail later.
You get to upload documents at the end of filling the forms so be careful what you fill so that the documentation matches that. So if you add a row of work experience saying you worked at NASA and visited Mars, you better have that document to prove your claim.
