FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[future_canadian]

In "Generic Application Form for Canada IMM0008ENU_2D", question 12a about "Previous Countries of Residence", I have a question.

5 years ago in 2009, I was in the USA from end of September 2009 to end of January 2010 (about 4 months) to complete my last semester of university. After return in January 2009 I've been in India ever since. Do I need to fill this out as a country of residence ?

Also, in form "Supplementary Information – Your travels [IMM 5562]", Question 2a about my travels in the last 10 years: I left for USA in 2007 for my Master's, came back for summer to India in 2008, and again in summer 2009. Finally as mentioned above, left in Sep 2009 for USA and back in 2010 January. So, a total of three times I had to leave India for the USA for varying period in months. Do I also mention these in "travels" including the length and state purpose as "Education" or "Study" ?

Thank you!

You certainly need to mention all of those periods in your travels.

The 4-month period is long enough that you should enter it in your list of activities as well as your address on the background declaration.

Study is fine.

Thanks. +1 both to you for your continuous support to forumites.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I don't live in that town any more. We migrated to a city about 15 years back and I don't even know any one there. In fact, I move to a different state altogether. Its next to impossible for me to get the same. Can you please suggest if there can be any other alternative for the birth certificate.

My friend has applied for Canada previously and got PR. He has suggested that I can use my passport copy for the same with a covering letter. Is there a change in rules recently regarding this?

Thanks again, appreciate your help very much.

Passport is not acceptable as proof of birth.

Alternatives to birth certificate is 10th class certificate if it contains the following :

-Applicant's Name
-Date of Birth
-Name of Parent/Parents

If you are not able to provide this certificate, then you need to prepare an affidavit stating all of this information or that a Birth certificate cannot be attained.

Thanks for the advise. My 10th certificate has only my father's name. Looks like I have to make a visit to my birth town soon...

I have asked this Q before on another thread and one friend has already answered, but still wanting to be doubly sure.

For POF, we can show account statement of SBI PPF A/c?

Also, can we show a car as an asset over & above the required funds and how to show it? Value I think we can take from insured value of latest insurance certificate.

isn,t it in locking period for 15 years?????
