[future_canadian]

Hello All,
i am new to this thread.
I am confused regarding POF. so please 2014 applicants guide me what is going on. because on the forum some tom ,dick & harry are writing that CIC has stopped accepting property as POF, but i did not find any notice from CIC, anywhere...? ??? still CIC website says that they are accepting property as POF. please click this link (as you already know):

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

THERE IS WRITTEN

"

How much money should you bring?​

It is a good idea to research how much it costs to live in the place where you plan to settle in Canada.

Bring as much money as you can to make moving and finding a home in Canada easier. Note, however, that Canadian customs regulations require you to declare if you are bringing more than C$10,000 into Canada. If you do not tell them, you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:

cash
documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.) or
documents that guarantee payment of a set amount of money, which are payable to you (such as bankers' drafts, cheques, travellers' cheques or money orders)."


so bro, especially seniors, please shed some light on the issue.
please share the authentic information.
as i am going to send my application soon but i have properties to show as POF, so ............................? :-X

thanx in advance

You are misreading it. It is not "documents that show property" or "documents that show capital payable to you." It is "documents that show [property or capital] payable to you." Bonds and debentures are a legal proof of property payable to you, it's just that this property happens to be cash. Cash is property.

It is widely agreed that settlement funds must be liquid and unencumbered. You will be required to bring with you sufficient money to settle in Canada and get your family started. Obviously your property cannot be used to put down a deposit on your new Canadian apartment. You need cash or similar assets that can be quickly converted to cash.

I have asked this question couple of times earlier but sadly I did not receive any response till now. Can somebody please tell me whether my PCC need to be Apostilled? or Apostille is not needed and the PCCs can be submitted without an Apostille from the issuing country. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Not necessary.

Brother,

Just in summery- u will need to show the settlement fund (POF) in terms of liquid unencumbered property which is possible by bank balance/FD/Provident fund....

ANy fixed asset like car / house cant be the settlement fund...they can be included as asset but for the settlement fund - mentioned money need to be shown by applicant....

Hi members,
I was bit away as stuck with POF arrangements.

Kindly can some senior advise:

Will the letter showing "Stocks worth amount xxx" in my name, issued by a reknowned (national scale) securities company acceptable as POF? That letter also shows the time period of maintaining stocks.

i have heard that for "Student Visa" applications, Visa Offices were not accepting it.

In my own assessment it fits criteria of CIC's http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp in "... How much money should you bring?

Hello Seniors,

i have a question regarding spouse immigration.

After getting my PR, can i sponsor my wife for Canada. is it easy, complicated, not possible. Can someone help ?

Apply for her along with your application. That's the easiest way. You have to provide information and forms and documents from her whether you bring her or not, so might as well bring her along now.

If there is some reason you can't bring her along with you now, yes you can sponsor her later, it just takes longer.

I hope they won't surprise us that they are holding the FSW program indefinitely... Just kidding guys!

That's not funny, a lot of people are very tense.

ALWAYS go with current boss even s/he is just for 1 days - it is worldwide accepted. It is always assumed your current boss knows your past and his certificate for past is never questioned. I got 10 yrs of work experiences and worker 4 supervisor; 3 of them left (one currently at UK). According to your philosophy, I need to search them all and have to even travel UK (not a bad idea) but all of them cannot sign on my company's letter head as they are not currently working there.

But read her post--she has NEVER worked with the current person in that position.

Assuming you can sell the stocks when you wish, then yes no problem.

It is a good idea to research how much it costs to live in the place where you plan to settle in Canada.: Yes, good idea specially when you plan to land there.

i have heard that for "Student Visa" applications, Visa Offices were not accepting it.: Should not be correct.

Hello Seniors,

i have a question regarding spouse immigration.

After getting my PR, can i sponsor my wife for Canada. is it easy, complicated, not possible. Can someone help ?

Theres a section in one of the forms where u need to give reason why ur not bringing ur spouse. It is complicated to prove u r not bringing her here and even more complicated to explain them later that ur bringing her here.

And there is no refusal of PR if ur bringing her here now...unlike many other visas. What are u worrying of?

 

[Century]

But read her post--she has NEVER worked with the current person in that position.

What I understood: Previous supervisor left. New supervisor just joined in her department. As she is new supervisor, she has not worked under her.

Thanks future_canadian!

+1 for guidance

 

[mkshah]

you can mention that "Initially you want to get settle there with a confirmed job and then you can call your spouse within a years time."

Thanks Century.
+1 for the help and guidance.

BTW, has someone adopted it here on the forum.
I am quite new here.Not seen someone with this option.

If it works, I should have done it earlier and filed my case.
I was arranging a new bank account and funds to show for a while.
Bank took 10 days to open account and still didn't open it as its centralized from their HO.

Hello Seniors

I am new to this forum....I have some doubts regarding PCC. Please excuse for that :-[
I had gone through lot of posts in this forum, however not quite sure.....until now. :-\

Background:
My passport is from CITY1 (Permanent Residence-Parents Residing) and for that last 10 years.....I studied in CITY 2 for 4 years, worked in CITY 3 for 4 years and now in CITY 4 (Present Address -Me and Spouse Residing) for more than 3 years now.......

Query:
(1) I have already received PCC from Passport Office (CITY 1) Permanent Residence, since this address is in my Passport.
Do I still have to obtain PCC from CITY2, CITY3, CITY4 ??

(2) If YES, we need to obtain PCC from all cities CITY1,CITY2,CITY3,CITY4, then how ??
In the passportindia OnlineApp link, where PCC is initiated, if we mention CITY4 address as present address and place of issue of passport as CITY1 address, it does not accept and mentions, "Your present address is not under the jurisdiction of the passport office registered for your account".
How should I initiate such process ?

(3) In some posts, I read, PCC is country specific and not state or city specific.
Which means PCC from my permanent residence CITY1 stands valid. Require Confirmation.

(4) Form IMM 5669 - Background Declaration, Point No 12. Addresses, asks to list down all addresses that you have lived from the last 10 years. Are these addresses mentioned here would be used to match with the PCC documents I provide ?

Thanks in advance for your help...........!!

Regards
JB
