Thanks a lot for your response.
I found out from GCMS notes that there is a review required for my eligibility (POF due to fluctuations) so I sent a web form with a new balance certificate showing more than the required amount, they acknowledged the receipt of it after like 23 days or something, but I want to know when will they consider it so that I can pass eligibility and my file can move on with other parts.
Individual documents will not be specifically listed in your notes. Instead wait for the eligibility as a whole to be passed.

Also fluctuations to PoF as such do not have an impact and IRCC has clarified this:

Thanks a lot sir for your help, for my case the officer has decided that my funds are not enough, although at time of AOR it was more than the required funds. Anyway I can't do anything other than waiting now.
Thanks again sir for all your helpful information and comments.

Last night I logged in to check my application and saw a GU (Ghost Update). When I tried checking the status, nothing had changed visually. Lets see if it means anything in the coming days and weeks!

@legalfalcon Sir, this is regarding proof of funds, I found this statement in POF section - 'The funds must be available both when you apply and when (if) we issue you a permanent resident visa ', does that mean, in between the application, I can invest or use that money?

Actually I have invested ALL the amount that I had shown at the time of submission, I can put the money back in again, should not be a problem, But will it anyhow impact the eligibility or any other criteria?

IRCC can ask you for a revised PoF at anytime during the processing. IF you re unable to show that funds then, then you may be inadmissible on financial grounds.

You can invest the funds, but not in stocks or in any instrument that cannot be liquidated.

You only have to meet the rate as on the day you submit your application.


IRCC used the quarterly rates as published by the Bank of Canada. see https://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/monthly-exchange-rates/

AoR: December 8th 2021.
medical exam passed on January 14, 2021.
biometrics completed on January 18, 2021.
No update since Janurary 18th.

Has anyone got any update recently? At some point, they said that they are prioritizing people inside Canada with CEC application. Has that changed at all?

Hello Sir @legalfalcon , I'm a CEC candidate, AOR 18 DEC
In my express entry profile I've added my 3 years of back home experience. Assistant Accountant in a Chartered accounting firm. I did submitted the reference letter with job duties mentioned on the company letterhead which provided by my employer who is a Chartered Accountant. Current NOC = 6311 and home country experience NOC = 1311.
My concern is that I was paid in Cash. Will there be any complications with that? I do have Cash vouchers with me though but did not added in the profile, my lawyer said that the reference letter is sufficient as it has all the duties and was on the letterhead. Can you please guide.

Thank you

If the experience you claimed points for is Canadian, you also have to submit T4 and tax assessments.

As per IRCC:

If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).

If the experience you claimed points for is Canadian, you also have to submit T4 and tax assessments.

As per IRCC:
My experience as an Assistant Accountant which falls under NOC 1311 is from my home country ( INDIA) I've 3+ years of experience in that field. For my Indian experience I got paid in cash with Cash vouchers. For Canadian experience I have Paystubs, T4 etc.

So my concern is " Will there be any complications when I've not submitted my cash vouchers for my Indian experience? Although I did submitted the reference letter with job duties mentioned on the company letterhead which provided by my employer.

For foreign work experience IRCC does not require any tax assessments or pay stubs, but at the discretion of the officer, they can ask for this information. It will depend on a cad by case basis.
