Got PPR. Lessons learnt for all of you.

Hi All,

Got my PPR 5 days ago and thought to share some tips on common questions/doubts that most of the aspirants have. I will restrict myself to the procedures i followed differently than what people generally do so that we are no longer scared to do things differently.

1. It is OK to upload ALL pages of passport. I did that

2. Work experience of spouse can be zero in his/her work history. It doesn't fetch any points anyways if it is non-Canadian experience

3. You can mention travel history between country of origin and country of residence in addition to other travels

4. It is OK to not have work experience on company letter head as long as you can get it from a colleague (with his ID attached). Just ensure ALL the information needed is provided. Payslips add value to authenticity. Also, NO need of notary attestation. I never did that

5. LOEs are a must. My application had around 6-7 LOEs in individual sections

6. You can upload marksheets or transcripts in addition to degree certificate in education document section. Degree certificate is a must. Additionally, upload IELTS and WES results in this section

7. Try to get ALL the documents in colored scan especially the PCC

8. For POF, any sort of proof works as long as the required details have ALL that is needed by CIC which proves that funds are readily available with you, and that they belong to YOU and not someone else in any way (parents gift deed is fine)

9. Funds can be collectively shown in primary and secondary applicant bank accounts. Ensure ALL the details are available for both accounts

10. It is perfectly alright to move some work experience to personal history to save yourself from arranging documents for that, if you have already gathered the required number of months of experience

11. It is fine to play around with address history. I had skipped a few addresses where my duration was shorter and captured that period in another address of same/different city

12. It is also fine to play around with education timeline since we really do not know what end date to give to our education ( Exam end date, graduation date, city leaving date etc.). Just give anything but maintain consistency with address history dates and vice versa

13. You just need a basic medical checkup (urine test, chest x-ray, blood pressure check, blood test). Anything asked more than this, beware! The hospital is trying to make money out of you

14. None of my employer/reference was contacted. This means all is well as long as you give clear documents

For now i can remember the above points where everyone has doubts. Wish you all good luck for your PR process. If in-case i remember more points, will edit the post and add to it.

Cheers !

Thanks man, as it will clear doubts of many of us.
Regarding one of my employment, i had one year experience from may 16 to may 17. For may 16, I only have submitted T4 & Noa, & for ongoing 17 I have submitted all paystubs.
I didn't had pay stubs from 16 so i wasn't able to submit them, will t4 & noa be fine?.

Also, say for same company I had done 2 days work in 2015 as they needed me & that's all for that year. In ref letter my colleague didn't specified anything about that 2015 year & just said about may 16 to may 17.
But ref letter from hr said i have been employed since 15. In my loe, I have explained it & gave t4 for 2015 as well so that it's clear to Ircc.
Do you think my colleague should have written about that 2015 as well?

Thanks

Should be fine as long as you clearly explain it in LOE the way you explained it to me

I do not have a sample right now but please don't worry. Just a simple letter you would have written to an officer in life, or your school principal or your teacher. Plain English and with clear details.
