hi friends....this is regarding proof of funds.....

1. I am showing settlement funds in the form of FD. I have obtained this hefty money by selling some gold and i dont have proof of selling that gold (that gold was in my possession for a very long time..inherited that and sold that to a local merchant without any bills). So will CIC question me about wherabouts of this money as i can't proove that i have sold some gold. But i will keep that money till i get my visa ?

2. Can i liquidate my FD money when i get visa on my passport or do i need to keep it in the form of FD till i land there ?

@ ashif..century, oscar and all the seniors..help !

1. You don't need proof. But, you didn't even get a receipt? I would always get a receipt for a sale like that.

2. You don't have to keep it in FD after visa (or even before), but you may need to show updated proof of funds upon landing so don't spend it all after getting the visa, you need to continue to have those funds on hand.

Hi, be careful as this position is not accurate, the 51% guideline is used by NOC and not CIC. CIC still reviews based on at least 80% match of duties. Don't forget this Federal Skilled Worker program, not Generalist program. Cheers

I agree with you that this e-mail should not lead us to believe that a 51% match is sufficient. But I disagree that it must be at leats an 80% match. We have no basis for knowing the number, or even whether there is a hard number.

Yes , Absolutely ok.All d best

Be careful, the question is, a joint account with whom? With an accompanying spouse or common-law partner, yes. With someone else, no!

Hi,

I am applying under NOC-2173 and I am ready with all my papers and about to send the application.
Last week we got a new born, a baby girl (11th July) and as of now I have only her birth certificate.
Getting a passport for her will be time consuming and by that time the cap limit for 2173 would have reached.
1. Shall I include her name in the generic form and mark NO for passports. but include her in the POF and visa processing fees?
or
2. Not include her in any of the forms but write a covering letter stating the situation and attach the birth certificate and request CIC to permit me to produce her papers in the Local VO after getting the AOR
or
3. Suggest me a different approach please....

P.S : To get the passport for the baby, I need update the passport for my wife with my name(spouse),receive her passport, then apply for baby's passport.This will at least take 4 weeks from now.

Seniors please advice on this.

#1. Provide as much info as you can and explain in an annexure that you need time to obtain the rest. No problem. You are right that you have to pay a fee and show POF for the baby too.

Congratulations!

1. You and your spouse needs to fill up the following forms separately only:

Background declaration
Additional family information

Travel form is NOT required to be filled up by your spouse.

2. Yes other than 50 eligible occupations you need to mention the NOC code for other jobs (Skill level O,A or B) as well.

3. Your designation does not need to be similar to the sample titles , matching duties is the main issue.

1. It's true the spouse doesn't need a separate travel form but you do need to fill in the space in the travel form for your spouse the same as for yourself. Careful!

I have submitted the fixed deposits and provident fund balance as proof of funds.

I wanted to use a part of the money for some real estate transactions. Can I use some money, as long as the balance is not below the minimum amount required by CIC.

Please advice.

Need some help here. HR of one of my employers is neither giving me experience certificate nor is he denying to provide it. He just says I'll give you tomorrow. I've been following up with HR for last 2 weeks and now I've given up coz I think he won't provide it. My reporting manager from that company has also changed his job. What am I supposed to do here, I've got the relieving certificate from this company which doesn't have job responsibilities etc.

Is self affidavit necessary to be provided in this case or can I just provide a declaration or something?

Or can I ask my reporting manager, who is now in another company, to give me a reference letter on his current company letterhead alongwith his relieving letter from our previous company?

Ask the manager who is now in another company to give you a reference letter on no letterhead at all, not his current company's letterhead. Other than that you are on the right track.

I've printed off the spec and diagram from the CIC website which states the head measurement should be between 25mm and 30mm, yet under the guideline section it states a minimum head measurement of 31mm and max 36mm?

Does anyone know which one is correct?

I work as a regular full-time employee (40 hours per week) and my main duties consist of:

I am unable to obtain a letter with the job description from my employer because the HR department doesn't provide any such letter with the job duties mentioned on it.

I suggest that you try to get a personal (non-letterhead) reference from your manager or someone else who knows your duties, before resulting to self-attestation. CIC has stated that self-attestation is not acceptable.

Hello,

My company is not issuing any kind of roles and responsibility letter on its letter head, but my boss is ready to give a email from his official ID, do this email need to be notarized ?



Thanks,

Please advice.

Help needed....do they really want to verify the same FD advice as was submitted? Or it's ok as long as I have enough funds in PF account that is needed for POF.

 

[!Aman!]

Ask the manager who is now in another company to give you a reference letter on no letterhead at all, not his current company's letterhead. Other than that you are on the right track.

so are you saying that i should get the same letter printed on a plain paper and signed by my ex-manager with his phone number/email etc? if yes, then how are CIC going to trust it as a reputed source of confirmation of my previous job?
