just give every thing you have.
I mean why do you want to regret later on when you can give now.
regret should be something that you couldn't do now not some thing you can.
just throw every thing into them.
leave nothing to chance/luck

Since I've been having both work and education experience (over 11 items), I decided to write "SEE ATTACHED SHEET" on the first row of question 6/F and attached an Excel table printout with all the work/education experience. As supporting docs, I'm including a letter of employment for 2014 and the NOA/T4/T4A for the previous years. I suppose that should suffice... In addition, I've included transcripts and diplomas (photocopies for everything).

Good luck!

Regarding #3 -- only the bio-data page of each of your applicable passports is required. Isn't the passport bio-page by default in English and your native language? If not, you should probably have the bio-page translated.

Out of curiosity, why are you applying 1 week after 1095 days? Why note a day after?

For passport, yes! I have to translate cuz mine are using native language.
About the applying date,good question. My friend applied 1 day right after 1095 days and he received RQ....He travelled a lot of countries before he submitted the application. He suspected that he miscalculated the border entry and exit dates so that his case was required further investigation. I just feel it's a bit risky if I apply right after i fulfill the requirement. I left Canada several days in the past 3 years. I don't know how CIC define the border entry and exit dates and i don't want to have an entanglement with CIC due to only 1 or 2 days' difference.That's why i wait couple days as buffering days

That would make sense. I left Canada only three times for no more than 6 days per trip and the stamps on my passport match the entries (not sure what CBSA registered, but I'm confident). I mean, if you want to leave a buffer, it'd better be a month or so... A few days won't change much.

PNP does it stand for provincial nominee program, did you apply through this program and to which province did you apply if the PNP abbreviation is correct

 

[Desert Lion]

Agree

Since you guys are preparing the docs, I would ask a quick question here:

For all the documents we need only provide photocopies,right? If yes, do we need to certify these photocopies as "TRUE COPY" by some certified oath guys? Or we just send CIC what we get from the copy machine?

Thanks a lot!

 

[laxmikanthms]

No need to certified true copies....just photo copy is enough...
