Hey man, thanks for your reply.

Regarding the bank statement I supplied savings certificates as well worth more than the required amount and an LOE explaining that it generates interest to the current account. My travel history is rich with travelling to europe and USA and I obtained my MSc degree from the UK where I spent 16 months, so I guess that should count for me.

Regarding the omission it is not hiding any info as the whole page is available and I have the originals ready to be sent anytime.

For the work experience I am not claiming points for my part time I only mentioned it in the personal history, the issue is that the full time job for 2 years that I am claiming points for is not mentioned in my previous visitor visa application, I attached an LOE saying I did not mention it as it was hard to obtain and it was easier for me to obtain the one for the part time job ( I was working both jobs), I attached the visa refusal letter with the requested Schedule A to be more clear and may be save them the time to open my previous application.

I tried to be as punctual as possible in explaining my situation and hopefully it will go smoothly.
1- as long as the saving certificates (called here a Guaranteed Saving Certificate, GIC) covers more than the needed funds, you are OK. I have mutual funds (شهادات صندوق استثماري) here that contain more than half the needed funds. They accept all forms of savings that you can obtain whenever you decide.

3- That shouldn't be an issue as long as the margin has no details.

2- So your issue is that you did not mention the work in visa application. I do not think it's something. However, they are probably going to call your employer and ask him about details of your work, so get this prepared.

That's good then, I guess I won't have any financial problems, and regarding the documents I would definitely complain if they reject me without even asking for a clear scan if they find it not clear, and my previous employer know they might call him to verify and he has a copy of the letter to confirm everything correctly if contacted.

I guess there is not much to be done now except waiting painfully :-X and hoping my case officer will be merciful on me :D fingers crossed for everyone!!

I need your help with something, I received a PR from Ontario but I'm a FSW Outland and I don't have any connection to Ontario, never been there, no friends tone family members and no work contracts. What is your assessment for my chances? Do you think a letter of intent to reside in Ontario is enough without showing links whatsoever to ontario?

I have almost your same case ya kebeer :D
from what i have known so far by asking..apply for jobs online, just the application shows that you are serious about residing in Ontario..try to find any friend of yours there to be in the connections to Ontario..apparently in this forum several people had no connections to Ontario and they managed to get the nomination.

hello everyone,
I have an issue that i need your opinion on:
My passport has a small error in the arabic address as the building number is written as 11 instead of 111. could that pose a problem during the application post ITA [already received ITA but haven't send application yet]. Also i was told that the passport does not need translation is this correct?

Thanks for your support and good luck to everyone in your applications

Hello Guys

Thanks for the effort.

I received my ITA about 2 weeks ago, I used to live in the US. so i require FBI police certificate which takes up to 11 weeks. I will apply anyway attaching a letter of explanation. do you know would they place my application on hold or go ahead with the processing ( apparently everyone is complaining on how slow is the FBI? anyone with an experience of that
2. I am at NOC 4012-4011, one of the universities i worked at provided me with all the details i want for my HR letter except the salary! which they totally refuse to mention. I got paid cash so technically i cant prove it. How big of a deal is it?

Thank you ya regala

i translated mine in Nadoury & Nahas law offices which is located in front of US embassy, garden city .. they r professional and price is decent

Make sure u tell them it's for Canada so they will supply u with "affidavit" which is mandatory for translated documents to be submitted in CIC
