Hi everyone.

While filing up my PR application, in the Proof of Means of Financial Support (I understand this is the POF that we talk about most often) I am in a fix. Will try and explain the case here:

I have more than the minimum amount required in mutual funds that I have been investing in for about 10 years now. The monthly statements reflect the same. And that the required money if not all (since these mutual funds come with a 3 years lock-in) can be liquidated anytime I need. Now my question is:
1. What kind of proof can I submit to suffice the required documentation? Will the statement only do or do I need to get a letter specifically mentioning things?
2. If my mutual funds are sufficient to fulfil the amount I need to take along to Canada, are my bank statements anyhow required to be uploaded?

I hope I am misunderstanding anything here and not mixing things.

Thanks in advance.
It is not advisable. POF also means "can be liquidated" right now. Bank generates a report on their letterhead mentioning the amount of money that you have in your account along with the statement of 1 month (in case of Direct invitation) and 3-6 months (in case of PNP).

The letterhead document will be your POF. You can attach MF, PF and other source of funds as well however the amount should not be big. Major portion should be in Savings Account. (my experience only).

Insufficient- it needs to have a breakdown by designations.
Thanks. My ex-company cannot give that. Their policy is to mention the latest designation of the employee especially for people like me who have 10+ years of experience in the same company. Couple of my ex-colleagues with similar experience obtained the same reference letter and are now PR holders.

This is interesting. I thought once you receive ITA your points are locked. What if you had submitted your application and then lose 5 points? Will your application still be processed?
The points were locked for almost 3 months. But once my ITA expired (on 90th day) and I didn't submit the documents, my profile expired as well.I had to make a new one on April 26th, with -5 points.

I have a question regarding the education history -
I have completed a Post Graduate Course in India - And according to CES it is not valid but the Bachelor's Degree i got is confirmed by ICES is equivalent to Bachelor's Degree from Canada.
So should i mention the Post Graduate Degree as well when entering the Express Entry profile?

Thank you.

If you know people who have become PR based on these letters, why bother to ask us then? Go ahead and use it.

If you don’t gain points, it’s futile.

Question about Passport's country of issue.

My Passport was renewed in Toronto by Indian Embassy, so the Place of Issue on the Passport is Toronto. However, in the online EE application form (Country/territory section), should I write Toronto or India?

I think it should be India, but I wanted to get a second thought on this. Thoughts?

Hello Tanmai, I am doing some reading but this is what i have been informed in my profile

Federal Skilled Worker - Not Met
Provincial Nominee Program - Not Met
Canadian Experience Class - Not Met
Federal Skilled Trades - Not Met


Just need some guidance what and where should I start looking
My IELTS score is - L: 8, R: 7, S: 8, W: 6
WES evaluation of my education degrees - for bachelors and Masters is Bachelor's degree OR 3 or more year program at university.
have my wife and a kid as dependent in the application
i have shown 8-9 years of work experience in india.
I am not sure what am i missing here.
I submitted the express entry profile twice and got rejected both the times with the above 4 criteria not met.

I did check my eligibility at the link you provided before I applied and hence I am not able to get what have I missed.

Could you guide more?
