Thanks for the response..
Correct me if I am wrong..Based on the inference from above point..Can 6k in my account b sufficient?(Half the amount)?

SKguy is correct. The amounts are equivalent to half of those in the table posted in his post. However, depending on your situation, you may not need POF see below:

The amount of money you need to support your family is set by the size of your family. We update these amounts every year.

Number of
Family Members

Funds Required
(in Canadian dollars)

1 $11,931
2 $14,853
3 $18,260
4 $22,170
5 $25,145
6 $28,359
7 or more $31,574

You do not have to show that you have these funds if:
•you have a valid offer of arranged employment in Canada AND
•you are currently working or authorized to work in Canada.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully all the pending apps get MR soon too. I thought my app was pretty much very straightforward with all supporting supporting docs(except USA PCC) but then who can tell tell for sure I guess.

You will be able to update your timeline when you hits 20 post . Looks like you are currently on 7

.

Ok I will that in mind. Thanks.

I think LMIA is also needed for that condition. I had a job and PGWP but still I was asked for bank statements, Only jobs with LMIA are exempted. Correct me please, if I am wrong.

As far as I know you need half the income cut off in the table below for one person

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5482Eguide.asp

Federal Income Table, 2015

The following table applies to all provinces except Quebec.


Table 3 - Low Income Cut-Off (LICO)



Size of Family Unit

Minimum necessary income




1 person (the sponsor)

$23,861



2 persons

$29,706



3 persons

$36,520



4 persons

$44,340



5 persons

$50,290



6 persons

$56,718



7 persons

$63,147



More than 7 persons, for each additional person, add

$6,429


If you are using this kit after December 31, 2015, contact our Call Centre for revised LICO figures.

Isn't this the income chart for sponsoring supervisa for parents or grand parents?

Yes, I believe you are correct. You would need LMIA unless it is a LMIA exempt job.

Finally RPRF request... MR should be coming soon....

No PCC request though. Don't know if it would come in seperate email. Please advise

Thank you God and fellow forumites

I agree, CIC asked me to submit proof of funds although I am working on PGWP.

If you are the only applicant you need to show 12k

A "valid offer of arranged employment" by definition must have an LMIA.

In other words, your job offer is valid, whether you are working in Canada or not, if your current or prospective employer:
•has made an offer to give you a full-time, permanent, non-seasonal job if you are accepted as a permanent resident, and
•has a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment from ESDC.

The only time the employer making you the offer does not need to get a new LMIA is when you are already working for them with a work permit that is based on an LMIA.

Thank you

Thank you. I will.
Just confirming, PCC is the only thing I have to send with FedEx. RPRF receipt has to be sent my email (as they have mentioned in the email). We don't have to send medical result or receipt. Thanks

Thanks... That was the first thing I did (RPRF request).... I haven't received MR yet so will do as soon as I get it....

RPRF receipt goes to Cost recovery email. No need to fill it.
PCC goes to the courier address in original.
The clinic will take care of the meds

Ohh I thought we have to fill the RPRF receipt before sending it (as many people were mentioning). Thanks...

And PCC needs to be sent to:
