Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I received ITA in December 2015 and currently working on completing the required documents for submitting the eAPR. I have a few questions that I need clarification on and would really appreciate if someone could provide me clarity on these:
1. Do I need to get copied of required documents such as Educational docs, birth certificates, passport copies, experience letters notarized before scanning and uploading?
I don't understand what you mean. You need to upload the scanned copy of the originals.
2. I have a immediate relative in Canada. Although I am not and cannot claim any points because of this, but I have disclosed this to provide correct information. Accordingly the documents that I have been asked to provide include the 'proof of relationship' and my relative's residency status with additional details like 'utility bills'. I can get all the documents such as a copy of his drivers license and mobile bill, which include his address, but the challenge with the utility bill is that they are not in his name since he is staying in a rented accommodation and does not have any utilities under his name. Therefore, if I provide a copy of the utility bill which is not under his name, will this be acceptable?
Does it specifically mention utility bills? Or does it say something like "Utility bills or Doc 2 or Doc 3..". If that's the case, you can upload any of the other documents. If not, then you can upload his utility bill along with the lease agreement that shows both the landlord's name and your relative's name. Upload a letter of explanation as well (that says your relative has leased the house so the utility bills are not in his name and you are providing lease agreement and utility bill as proof.)
Sincerely,
