meaning, na pass mo na docs mo with this bank acct? if uu, ipag pray mo na lang na ok, but kung wala pa, pwede ba na older than this? wala ka bang ibang acct na few years ago na? mas maigi sana kung matagal na kc big amount eh..

uhm, it could have been better if you had a bank account which is older.. kaso sa case mo since 3 mos ago lang na open... you could at least include an existing account mo (if meron) na older. or you could include an affidavit stating where you got your money. (business, parents support) or mga ganun...

in my case, we had to convert my partners account into our joint account... and also for the bulk deposit, we provided an affidavit from my partner's father stating that he is supporting us throughout the whole process of canada immigration... i hope this helps.

Based on the VO specific intructions:
"copies of certification of completion and the graduation degree, diploma, or certificate issued by the college or university;
certified true copies of transcripts of all degrees; and
copies of professional qualifications certificates (e.g., Engineer, Accountant, Registered Nurse, Physician, Teacher, Architect etc.)"

although it does not specifically require, it would be best, though, to submit the originals if you have extra, just like what I did. Or if not, submit certified true copies, taking careful consideration of CIC's certification guidelines, below:

To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:

* “I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”
* the name of the original document
* the date of the certification
* his or her name
* his or her official position or title
* his or her signature

People authorized to certify copies include the following:

In Canada:

* a commissioner of oaths
* a notary public
* a justice of the peace

Outside Canada:

* a judge
* a magistrate
* a notary public
* an officer of a court of justice
* a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the person is living


Lastly, CIC requires the employment contracts and employment certificates/letters of reference of the principal applicant only.

I hope you get insights from this. ;)
thank u so much for the advice :) :) :) :) thanks..

i submitted my docs last june with 2 bank accounts. the one with the bigger amount(90% of the pof reqt) was opened just last may and yung mas konti was opened last year. i think it worked in my case kc i was asked to have my medical na.
if the account was opened within 3 months pwede na din siguro yun because AFAIK it is not indicated in the guidelines kung gano na ktagal un account but rather they are specific on the amount.

thanks lola_basyang. i have an old bank account kaso may kajoint ako. i asked the bank before that if ever an embassy verifies the account, they don't disclose the names of ka-joint because of the bank secrecy law. if kumuha man ako ng bank certificate, pipirma yong mga kajoint ko na hindi isasama yong mga names nila sa certificate. btw, about your father's affidavit of support, does it work? i mean, did the VO asked you further questions about this? how far have you gone to your application? i hope you can help me with this. i am planning to lodge my visa next week.thanks again!

(repost ko lang ang sarili kong tanong from another thread para sa opinion ninyo)

Hey guys,

I have a question that's really bugging me. I worked for a BPO for one and a half month almost five years ago but I was terminated since I had to absent myself without permission for three straight days due to a strong typhoon here in Manila. I have no copies of the employment contract and I certainly don't have a work certificate with me. My question is do I need to put that work experience in my personal background and just inform them that I have no copies or proof of my employment and certificates or do I omit that from my work experience?

TIA!

AFAIK, CENOMAR is no longer required per 6/26 instructions.

annulment--- i have read in other forums that this could lead to a "NO CRIMINAL RECORD ON FILE" notation in the NBI clearance (im not so sure of this, though; please check ur partner's nbi clearance. if this is the case, better secure all pertinent documents like the certificate of finality, court clearance, court order, nbi written explanation)

God bless!

hi!

do u still have a copy of ur payslip when u were working for the BPO? if so, pwede na yun, just include an affidavit that u can no longer provide employment cert and the reason u got separated from service.

on second thought, 1 1/2 mo work experience is not that long. maybe u can dispense with it in your personal history and just write unemployed, i.e, if that's more convenient to you.
