Hello All,

Please help me to resolve my query as mentioned below.
Do we need ECA report for spouse also as part of application completion? I got mine, but when filling up the form, it asks for spouse's ECA report as well. Would it effect on the final result? Please suggest.

Thanking in advance.
Yes you need ECA for spouse too. You will not get his/her points unless you have done ECA for your spouse's degree(s).

Good afternoon all,

I have applied to the OINP and currently awaiting AOR. However, God blessed us with a baby recently and according the OINP reqs, we need to include the baby in our application.

My ques is,

1. Should we add the baby to the application now or wait for AOR before sending.

2. What documents should I send to OINP in this regard.

3. Does a new born have access to Intl PPt for the sake of processing visa.

Your response is highly anticipated from your good-hearted guys.

Thank you

You're already pretty well off, because you can get an OINP nomination with those points (keep an eye on your profile- you may get a message from Ontario inviting you to apply in the next couple of weeks!)
If you choose to do that, OINP costs $1,500, and an application process that can be 120-180 days long, before you finally have enough points to be over the 450 CRS points limit (so far, no one with 450 points or less has been invited by CIC yet).

The other thing you can do is retake the IELTS- scores of 8 in all categories will give you CLB 9 or above, and safely put you over 450 points. This is a shorter and cheaper way of ensuring an ITA soon.

Add the baby to the application now. Use the Change of Personal Information form on this page:

Fill it out, and mail/fax/email it to them. They will add it to your file.
Congratulations, and good luck!

Nope. The money needs to be yours, in your name, and available in a liquid form.

ECA for spouse is not mandatory. But, if you want to claim points for your spouse's foreign education, then you need to have the ECA done for spouse as well. You get up to a maximum of 10 points for spouse's education supported by ECA.

The number of hours needs to be mentioned, unless you have other supporting documents which mentions the same. This is required for them to be sure of the fact that you were actually working full-time/part-time depending on what you claim in your application.

Regarding salary, if you can provide the salary slips/pay stubs and bank statements which shows salary credit.

For previous position, you can show offer letter, appointment letter etc. For the promotion, you can show documents for performance evaluation, emails or communication etc which will substantiate your claim.

In my opinion, you may still be asked to submit reference letter with all the above details, unless and until you have reasons with documentary evidence to prove why you cannot get the reference letter in the required format. Since you have already got the letter, you can request your company to issue you a fresh letter stating that the first letter will not be accepted citing the relevant reasons. Give it a try, if not try all fore mentioned options and submit it along with a Letter of Explanation.

You may also refer to the format listed here http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/nail-the-challenge-of-getting-reference-letter-from-current-employer-t397796.0.html

All the best!

If not for hours, I think work timings may work.
