Hello Ashif_eee
We are seeing message from saurabh1 that his application was rejected because he did not send ECA for Masters and hopefully he sent for bachelors.
And the reason is missing ECA. So do you have any knowledge about the past applicants having a higher degree (For instance masters) but submitted ECA for Bachelors; filled up forms with highest education as masters and still got PER/DD encashed?

My two cents!!
According to my point of view, if you can reach threshold which is 67 point with ECA (Bachelor degree) then it wouldn't cause any issue.
I may be wrong but that is my understanding.

@ happy, @ bhavcaluk,

Why cant you show a SBI PPF as POF ???

Irrespective of the lock-in.. if the account is old... one can withdraw "50% of preceding 3 yrs Closing balance" in a given year.
So it can be shown as POF.. only thing is for your estimation of POF.. count only of 50% of the balance (To be on safe side).. should be top-up for any shortfall you're having for POF from FD's, Savings a/c etc.

how will cic get into all this!! ??? how do they now a/c is old enough for 50% withdrawal, and if balance 3 yrs back or current balance which is lesser (as 50% of that is allowed)!!

I hope they'll consider this as a normal bank account, after all it's a bank account itself!!

@vikiwow,

Missing Original BC (Certified/ attested copy) for a Translated document is certainly a deal- breaker.

Suggest you to courier it to CIO be be included as 'Additional Document' with original submission. There's no guarantee that it will be included (some ppl have success adding doc in the past), but your only loss is the courier charges. Anyways you'll be (freaking out) in a wait-n-watch mode for a while.... at-least try to save yourself from this evident shortcoming sans your Exp letter.

Reasons for returned/rejected apps are freaking me. I know that I signed all forms and have all but original BC for my husband just translation.Now I'am not even sure about experience letter.Since I'am a 16th of June applicant have a long time to wait

cause ppl who were rejected for that shared their exp letter here and mine is not much different and now with missing original bc I am not sure about my app at all. Sorry for being so pessimistic

When someone fills education details in the form, especially highest education attained. Then, CIC assumes this is the credential that you are claiming points for, and they look for ECA of the same. If they can't find it in the package, what do you think they shall do ?

I think your assumption is that CIC should consider ECA (instead of form information) as the basis of points. But ECA is just an evidence.

They're running, but very slowly
I've already made a bunch of workarounds to ensure the spreadsheet runs properly within the resource limits imposed by Google, but it looks like it still couldn't handle yesterday's PER shower very well and started throwing random errors. So I had to limit statistics update to each 8 hours.

If you would like the updates to happen more often than that, let me know and I'll think what I can do. There are still a lot of ways to improve it

Man your work deserves an infinite +1 ... Could you like slow down the chart updates and speed up the app status page ? That and the main sheet are the only ones important the others can be done once a day

What do you think?

Why car is not an asset ?

You’re not the first person to ask why “assets” such as house and car cannot be shown as assets for migration purposes - you certainly won’t be the last, either.

Here’s my understanding why only “liquid” assets are considered assets for immigration purposes. Assets can be classified into liquid assets and illiquid assets. Cash, stocks, bonds, etc, are examples of liquid assets, whereas houses and cars are considered illiquid assets. What distinguishes the two is that liquid assets can be converted to FAIR MARKET VALUE OF CASH QUICKLY. Illiquid assets, on the other hand, are usually hard to do so. For example, a stock, which for example traded, say at$ 25 yesterday, can be sold today around that price fairly quickly. A house – an illiquid asset – takes, usually, several months to be sold (If you try to sell it quickly you’ll most likely sell the house well below fair market value).

Additionally, most people cannot claim their houses and cars as fully owned assets. Why? Because most buy homes and cars and houses through loans. The lender (the bank/ financial institution that gave the loan) has right to the house or loan until the loan has been fully paid off.

Furthermore, questions regarding the value of an asset such as a car or house can also arise. For example, say a person who bought a house on a mortgage has fully paid off the loan. What’s the value of the house? Is it the value of the mortgage that he paid off or is it what the value of what he can sell it at present? If it’s the latter, then he needs to get the house appraised. And as anyone who has ever gotten a home appraised would say, there is a lot of subjectivity with respect to appraisals. Not wanting a subjective assessment of an asset is probably another reason why immigration processes are less keen on including illiquid assets such as houses and cars as assets.

These are some of the reasons why illiquid assets such as houses and cars are not considered assets for immigration purposes, while liquid assets such as cash, stocks, and bonds are.

Hope this gives you clarity!

So it can be shown as POF.. only thing is for your estimation of POF.. count only of 50% of the balance (To be on safe side).. should be top-up for any shortfall you're having for POF from FD's, Savings a/c etc.

One can withdraw only in sixth year after opening the account and with drawl is limited to 50%of closing balance in 4th preceding year. Better to avoid PPF as settlement funds unless the a/c is old and amount is large.

Good ques. 'happy' 8)

There's no such evidence.. I also hope that they consider this as a normal bank account (with 100% Credit balance)
I mentioned in the post "To be in safe side" ... count only 50% of the PPF balance (say, current) for your Self assessment (remaining POF from sourced from FD, Savings a/c etc.)

(FYI- you can always see the first page of your Passbook..your PPF A/c opening date is printed. Moreover, if you wish you can walk-in to your SBI branch and request for withdrawal.. they'll tell you from their system vintage & how much money can be withdrawn in the current FY)

how will cic get into all this!! ??? how do they now a/c is old enough for 50% withdrawal, and if balance 3 yrs back or current balance which is lesser (as 50% of that is allowed)!!

I hope they'll consider this as a normal bank account, after all it's a bank account itself!!

Hi Fellows,
I have a question to ask regarding the validity of IELTS certificate at the time of PER assessment.
In fact, I took IELTS test on 15th Jan 2013 which means it will expire on 15th Jan 2015. My application has been received by CIO on 31 July 2014. I am worried, once CIO will review my application after 5 months (as per the current processing speed of CIO) my IELTS certificate may not be valid.
I have two questions to ask.
1. Will CIO return my application based on above situation?
2. Is it possible if I take IELTS test now and submit the new IELTS result to CIO?
Thanks and regards:
