Folks - apologies to re-start an old thread, but i checked the LICO table for proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp.

As per the table , for a single applicant [1 person] , the minimum funds required are 12K CAD.

Hence the following questions
1. Should i put somewhere between 12K and 14K on my Express Entry profile or should i keep it the bare minimum 12K so that it reduces hassle of contacting different banks?

it will be fine even if you input exactly 11,931 CAD. But 12,000 is better because of currency fluctuations presuming you aren't showing POF in Canada.

2. Is CIC only interested that you have atleast the minimum "12K" ? My gut says "yes".

Your guts speak the truth.

3. Is POF required as per the amount I state on my EE form or can that vary a bit? For instance, if i state i have 16K , then do I need to produce proofs for 16K [exact]? I think the answer here again is yes, whatever you submit on your EE profile.

You can claim to have more funds than necessary but it will be irrelevant to CIC. You will have to show your POF as equivalent or more than what you declare in your EE profile. If you declare more than the required funds in your EE profile but still are able to show only 11,931 CAD if and when CIC wants to see your POF, that will still be fine.

However I just want to know if to be safer, i should state slightly higher funds than the minimum requirements as per the table.
Can someone help?

Not necessary at all. Go with 12,000 CAD. Not worth keeping more hard-earned money than strictly necessary in a bank account for CIC's benefit.

Hi - another doubt is whether we need to mention our expired passport in Personal history's ID section.
I have stamps of my foreign tourist travels in the old passport, so i'll anyway be attaching scanned copy in supporting documents section

I have attached recent passport copies along with current residence/work permit. I am working in Middle east. I am not sure whether we require to attach old passports. Because I have four passports.

Hi All,

I have a problem here..while paying 550$ fee, my Amex Card is getting declined repeatedly (4 times already). I checked with Amex team and they said the amount is getting debited and then credited, the reason for which they are unsure of and asked to check with the merchant (CIC here).

My question - will trying multiple times caused any problem? Should the profile be all right?
I am thinking of using another CC of my friend who is in Canada. Is using a card in someone else's name cause any problem since the application is from India?

Please help!

You can add it to your personal history. If you are not claiming points for it, no need to add it in work history section.

[harsimarjeet]

Hi everybody,
I submitted my application on 16th july. On 18th i got the request to submit additional documents schedule 4 and schedule 4-a(if applicable) within a week. I submitted only schedule 4 as schedule 4a was not applicable to me. But till date the status shows "additional documents need to be submitted". am little worried, anybody could clarify on this. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi I submitted my application on 02 july. Med Passed on 6th July still ECAS are not open.where could we find the ECAS.

 

[cherryyyyy]

Hi harsimarjeet, i think you should not leave that schedule 4A's space blank.....

You should either fill it in or attach an explanation letter.

I filled it in anyway, but attach an explanation letter as well.
