Decline ITA under FSW because I don't have $11,900?? - Please Help

[Teddy2015]

Hi,

I am currently eligible for CEC and FSW and when I filled out my EE profile I didn't state that I have $11,900 (because I don't) but I got ITA under FSW.

I was so happy to receive ITA but was informed by a friend about the proof of funds issue. I never lied and said I had the funds but if I don't have the funds is it better if I decline it and hope for CEC invitation? My permit is up very soon so I don't have time to waste waiting for another invitation. What should I do?

CIC will soon ask you for the proof of funds when you send your application. If you cannot provide the documents they're asking you better decline the ITA because that's misrepresentation, you maybe ban for 5 years for doing so.You can re apply and wait for new ITA anyways

the question is why did they invite you under fsw if you stated you dont have sufficient funds....

Technical glitch on the system maybe

I stated $7000 (which is a bit of a white lie) but thought I would never have to prove it because I've been living and working here for nearly 2 years. I know I should't have lied about the $7000 but my point is that I shouldn't have got ITA for FSW when they knew I didn't have the funds required (nearly $12000).

Does anybody know of someone who declined ITA but got invited again? I'm just worried that I won't get invited again under CEC. I have 468 points.

I declined and got invited again a week later. I am going to decline again because of system glitch ><... Declining does not jeopardize your chances to be drawn again. Dont worry about that.

Thanks Karolis, I`m happy to hear that!

How do I avoid an invitation for FSW? I just want CEC.

I have the same question. I thought removing funds was enough but apparently not...

Karolis what was your system glitch? I'm in a similar boat, had to decline another ITA in the last draw because they system hasn't updated my letter of invitation to show changes I made, so it's showing more points then I should have

Thats exactly the same problem I have. I removed foreign work experience but the system didnt update Good to know I am not the only one like that...

 

[Teddy2015]

The thing about the funds is even if I lower my funds to say $2000 I'm still eligible for FSW as well as CEC and it doesn't affect your points. I don't want to get ITA for FSW but not sure how to avoid that.....

 

[Conor9900]

Yeah I hear you, I created a new profile so it doesn't happen again. +1 for solidarity!

I think you guys are crazy to decline without even trying to explain your circumstances to CIC. If you didn't SAY you had $11,900 there is no misrepresentation. If, on the other hand, you don't have what you said you did....

Just try to call someone and explain that you have a job in Canada that isn't LMIA supported, and see what they say.

I just declined. So scary! I hope I get invited again and it wasn't a big mistake!! I decreased my funds to $2000 so if they invite me again I'll apply anyway because I wasn't dishonest and never said I had $11,900 so it's not misrepresentation!
