CEC application kit clarifications, pls help

[Prakasa]

Dear forum members,
We came to Canada in Jul 2011..and had applied for PR under 'Federal skilled Worker' program in Nov 2011 and our application got rejected since our experience letter did not cover the NOC job code description under which we applied..Now we hav 1.5years of canadian experience and eligible to apply under CEC however there are a few points where we need help from u all...they are as below
1. In IMM5406 (Additional Family Information Form) - do we need to write all names (including our family members) in Native language?
2. Do we need to attach a police verification certificate from Canada?
3. Do we need to provide my bank balance certificate?
4. Should we get all copies of documents notarized?
5. Under Work experience, it is requested to submit reference/experience letter from employees for the last 3 years. Do we need to submit even out of canada experience letter or only if we had worked in Canada?
6. I do not have a birth certificate? i dont think i can get one too since i have no contact with the place i was born. i read in this forum that a Statutory declaration will help..what is the procedure? should i contact someone for that? shud it be on a legal paper? or will a prinout on plain paper suffice?

Thank you...

CEC is a much simpler application than FSW. You should re-read the instruction guide, and not try to import some of the (old) FSW requirements However, the job letter remains the single most important document you provide, don't make the same mistake - ensure that your job letter contains all the required information outlined in the document checklist.

1. In IMM5406 (Additional Family Information Form) - do we need to write all names (including our family members) in Native language?

I see nothing on the form or in the instruction guide saying anything about writing names in the native language. So, no.

2. Do we need to attach a police verification certificate from Canada?
No.


3. Do we need to provide my bank balance certificate?
No.

4. Should we get all copies of documents notarized?
No.

5. Under Work experience, it is requested to submit reference/experience letter from employees for the last 3 years. Do we need to submit even out of canada experience letter or only if we had worked in Canada?
Work experience in Canada only.


6. I do not have a birth certificate? i dont think i can get one too since i have no contact with the place i was born. i read in this forum that a Statutory declaration will help..what is the procedure? should i contact someone for that? shud it be on a legal paper? or will a prinout on plain paper suffice?

Where were you born?

 

[Prakasa]

Thank u so much for the patience in answering all my queries.
I will definitely read the instruction guide again.
I still see...'Complete ALL names in English and in your native language' as the 1st sentence just below the heading "Additional Family Information" Form.
Reg, birth certificate, I was born in India.
Thanks again for all your answers! God bless.

Do you have a secondary school leaving certificate (SSLC in India) which shows your date of birth and parents name correctly? Then that would be your best bet.

I am not sure if you are in Canada or India currently. If the SSLC option does not work for you, you can get an Affidavits which declares that your birth is not registered and etc. There are many law firms and lawyers are available in Canada who already know the format etc.You just need to tell them your requirement. You can also apply for a "Certificate of the Date of Birth" from Indian consulate (http://www.cgitoronto.ca/Passport/passpBirth.html) which can be submitted along with Affidavit, but keep in mind just consulate certificate alone may not be accepted.

all the best

Prakasa,

For your 1st question, yes, you have to write all the names in the native language too!

 

[Prakasa]

Thankyou green_dc..will do the same.

Hi Shibinp,
I have my 10th Matriculation & 12th grade Marksheet with my Date of birth mentioned but it does not mention my Parents' name. will it suffice?
Iam in canada now. any idea how long will it take for the consulate to issue the Certificate of Birth? Iam concerned since the process requires submission of original passport since i am travelling out of country (to US) in the last week of Feb.
thankyou so much..

As far as I know certificate of birth doesn't replace BC . CIC accepts affidavit if you are not able to produce a document. You can prepare a letter and notarize it with a notary public.

 

[Prakasa]

Thanks chndn..r u saying i can write a letter and get it notarised in canada? is this letter called affidavit?

 

[chandn]

Yes, you can prepare one as follows and get it notarized from Canada and also sent your 10th certificate showing your DOB. This is what I did

A F F I D A V I T


I, _______________, resident of _____________________ Ontario, Canada do solemnly declare and affirm as follows:
1. I was born on ____________ (dd/mm/yyyy) at ___________ (City) _________ (State), India.

2. My father’s complete name is __________________ and my mother’s complete name is _______________. Both are citizens of India.

3. I am providing this affidavit in order to verify my birth details, as I am unable to attain birth certificate from the relevant issuing authority.

AND I make this solemn Declaration conscientiously believing it to be true, and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath.

school certificate must have your parents name. Why I am telling because my friend's application returned because of no birth certificate for his wife. CIC officer wrote in the return letter that you should submit birth certificate and if no birth certificate submit school certificate which shows date of birth and parents name.

You can also see in the affidavits format parents names are mentioned. So it is must.

Forget about consulate certificate, it may take more than a month (my friend is still waiting for that since a month) and as chandn said it will not replace the BC.

Also most of the lawyers has the required letter format, so you need not worry about the format they already know this, only thing you need to pay the drafting charge as well.
