Jan 11 ITA Recipients >>>>CONVERGE Here for next STEPS

[Esha Sri]

Hi Guys - I really appreciate your response on this - sorry for repeating - I have an uncle here in Canada and EE file has asked me for a proof of relation. He does not have any birth certificate. The candadian passport does not have fathers name on it and thus I can prove his relation to me through my father (my grandpa is his father) Can I get him to sign an affidavit stating I am his nephew and we attach our passports with it? Also he has a very old indian passport which he never returned that has a grandpa's name on it. What do you guys think. I am lil nervous about this!!

Sure you can submit an affidavit of support clearly detailing your relationship with your uncle. Upload all documents possible - his Canadian passport, his old Indian passport's photocopy, his educational certificates which may have your grandfathers name...can be attached by all means. Plus, attach photographs which has you and your uncle together as an added supporting document. In another instance, one of my friends attached an invitation card which listed all the relatives names for a wedding...you can search if you have something like that...

IMO, you should be fine,
Esha

Hey guys, I'm still.filling out the application, looking at all the details of employment and checking and double checking the dates. I sent the FBI clearance request on Jan 13, was received by Jan 17th. It says it'll take 12 to 16 weeks to process, so let's see. Fingers crossed!!

In the meanwhile, trying to get my medical completed. I don't think of any document that'll take longer than the FBI identity summary check.


Wheres everyone at??

Proof of Relatives : How to document that?

Proof of Relatives in Canada

We r aware that we can get Five [5] additional points on a/c of "adaptability" if having "relatives" in Canada. But, many a times, while having a 'bonafide' relative residing here, we yet shortcut the paperwork [for whatever reasons] - and get into trouble... either those 5 points r not awarded, or we go into delays due to repeated queries from the VO. Here's what we should understand & do:

Who r the Acceptable Relatives?
Proof of relationship showing u, or your accompanying spouse/common-law partner has a close relative who lives in Canada and is a Canadian Citizen or PR. This close relative can be:
• parent, grandparent,
• child, grandchild,
• brother, sister,
• aunt, uncle, or
• niece, nephew.

Proof of "Relationship"
Having one of the above, we now must submit adequate docs to "show" the 'proof of relative' if we want to seriously get those points, which might sometimes 'make' or 'break' our case. This "Proof" is required in Three (3) Steps. Here's how u go about it:

1. BASIC EVIDENCE OF RELATIONSHIP:
Proof of relationship to your close relative in Canada can be evident by docs, such as (A)birth, (B)marriage or (C)adoption certificates. For eg, to prove that your relative in Canada is your paternal aunt, it would be necessary to submit copies of birth certificates for her and for your father showing they have at least one common parent.

2. WHAT DOCUMENTS NEEDED AS PROOF?
• If s/he is a PR: provide a copy of Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or CPR [COPR] or PR Card.
• If s/he is a Citizen: provide Citizenship proof, such as a copy of Canadian passport or Citizenship card.

3. HOW TO PROVE RELATIVE IS 'CURRENTLY INSIDE' CANADA?
Provide evidence to show that your relative is currently residing inside Canada. This may include copies of:
• Lease agreements [Rental Contracts],
• A current Notice of Assessment from Revenue Canada,
• An Employer's Letter confirming employment,
• Monthly Utility Bills [Telephone, Mobile, Cable, Gas etc.].

Note:
- The evidence should show the relative's "name" and "full address" in Canada.
- Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/immigrate/skilled/factor-adaptability.asp

I hope that helped.

Ps: U can show the High School Certificate in lieu of Birth Certificate [usually the 10th Grade diploma].

If you mean gift from parents, then yes, it is accepted, but the funds needs to be transferred to the primary/secondary applicant's name and it should be supported with gift deed, proof of transfer and balance certificate from your bank. However, if you meant the funds are going to be in your parents account during the entire process, then No, it will not be accepted as proof of funds.

One more query btw Stanlee, as said earlier, your opinion on the below pointers would help me better -
1. It's a gift from mother having the suffecient balance in her PF account
2. She wants to gift the entire PF balance on my POF.
3. For this, have planned to get the official letter from PF department that my mother would like to entirely sponsor my canadian immigration.
4. Does this plan works out to satisfy IRCC?
5. If yes, anything else that i need to do beyond point 3, i.e., official letterhead.
6. If this letter is ok to suffice IRCC, anything else would you recommend in this case please.

Thanks and appreciate in anticipation.

Doubts while filling PR Form

1) Should address history have information of addresses I stayed(hotels,apartments etc) while on Vacations/Business trips. ?

2) My Daughter is only 2months old. PR form asks if she can communicate in English/French ? What should be my answer ?..... Some people have suggested that if she turns her head on saying "Hi Baby", then I can put yes.... but then still she is not communicating from my perspective.. since it is specifically written English/French.... Turning head is neither english nor french...

Hi All

I live in Accra and have received my ITA on 11th. Should finish PCC by end of next week. My main problem would now by the medical test. I contacted the panel doctors and they say they need instructions from IRCC. IRCC website says you need medical to complete the form. IRCC also says that we would get instructions on the medical test after form submission.

Completely confused.

Any guidance on this?

Thanks
GA

Hi guys,

Congratulations to all of you who received an ITA in last draw. I myself am still waiting but I have a question you might be able to answer. I understand that after receiving ITA the application is all done electronically, isn't it? So this means you will submit all documents as a scan. Do you happen to know if at any time in the process you would need to show physical documents (original or copies)?

Another question: when you have translated documents the translator also confirms on the translated document that he or she was presented with the original document. So for the application I would just submit the translated document and maybe also a scan of the original document in foreign language?

Thanks!

1. Only scanned copies of originals no physical copies/originals.
2. If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with:
- the English or French translation; and
- an affidavit from the person who completed the translations; and
- a certified photocopy of the original document.

Thanks. The last bullet point: "a certified photocopy of the original document", does it mean I need a certified copy of the orginal document in foreign language which I then also scan and submit?
Because the translated document can also be considered as an original document. This point is really confusing me.

Even if you submit the translation, you need to submit a certified photocopy of the original document.
