ITA Recieved

[hddgtt]

Hi all, i'm new here, i have some questions that i hope to find an answers to.

I have received recently an ITA (Invitation to apply) through the EE pool. Now i have to fill up the forms, and upload all the relevant documents.

I'm not sure about some of the issues, and i'll line up the questions here, hoping to get an answer for them, so here it goes :

1) I have a job here in Canada, a work permit and a LMO, and i have been living here for almost a year now. One of the things that i required to do is to provide a financial statement. We are family of 4, so according to the CIC site i should have at least 22+K in the bank. The thing is that i haven't transferred all my funds to Canada yet, and some of them are still back in my home country. Cumulatively i do have that amount, but not all of it is in my Canadian bank.
On the other hand, the same CIC site says that if i have a job and a job offer here, i do not need to prove my financial status. I do need to upload something into the MyCIC website, otherwise they will not let me finish the application.
So should i transfer some money here to show them that i have what it takes, or just leave it, show them my current balance which is lower then 22 k, and they will overlook it?

2) Police reports : is there an expiration date on them? We came here last summer, and a day before our flight went to the police and received the reports. I heard a rumors that those reports are valid for 3 months/6 months/12 months, each one claims differently. So what's the truth behind that? Should i ask the police in my country to send me another report?

Thank you all in advance

1. you will have to show the proof for the amount of fund which you stated in your express entry profile when you received ITA.
2. Old PCC will be enough.

No need to show minimum funds as you have LMO based work permit. This type of employment is called as arranged employment. Just take a print of the help of "Proof of financial support', go to a bank and get the statement of last 6months. Scan and upload the same.

2) Police reports : is there an expiration date on them? We came here last summer, and a day before our flight went to the police and received the reports. I heard a rumors that those reports are valid for 3 months/6 months/12 months, each one claims differently. So what's the truth behind that?

Al though valid for 1 yrs, CIC accepts only if it is 3 months old. Recently, I have gone thru a thread where it was said they increased this duration to 6 months. Someone else might answer this one.
HTH!

new rules for PCC

 

[hddgtt]

"For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country."

So it means that if i say came here on AUG 27th, and the report is from AUG 25th, it is ok?

as per the rules, YES.

 

[hddgtt]

And if so, and i have been living in Canada more then 6 months, i need to get a Canadian police certificate as well?

as per the old rules, it was not required. But in new rules, nothing is mentioned about Canada PCC. So I believe PCC is required from Canada too. It wont take much time I guess.

I wouldn't count on it, as August 25 is before August 27, and CIC can be strict. Can you get another?

After getting ITA, you may check this in the help of "Police Certificates (Multiple)" under document checklist.
As of today, the help says no need for Police certificate from Canada. If required, candidate will be intimated.

Yes, i think i can get another one...
