Aside from the PGR request and the updated Schedule A, here is what they asked for in the letter attached to the email we received from MCVO;
"Evidence of intention to re-establish in Canada" - Please provide evidence of your sponsor's intention to re-establish in Canada (i.e. photocopies of one or more of the following documents: job offer in Canada, property rental agreement, employment contract, property deed, letter of acceptance by educational institution in Canada, mortgage of property, etc.)
"Intent to Reside in Canada" - Please provide a letter providing details of your plan to establish in Canada.
--------------------------
I thought that we had covered both of these topics in our application, so I am honestly struggling a bit to come up with ideas to include in these submissions. The first item corresponds to me as the sponsor. I own a business in Canada, which I indicated in the original application. I don't have property rental agreement nor mortgage docs, nor require a job offer, nor employment contract, nor additional education (ok that is debatable
) so it may be challenging for me to come up with some additional information. I AM TOTALLY WILLING TO HEAR SUGGESTIONS AT THIS POINT!!
Anyone with creative but realistic ideas?? I expressed in the original application that i would be resuming working in my current business, that once approved and upon landing we would begin the search for a suitable residence, be it house, apartment, etc. And that in the meantime we would be living with my brother (who provided a letter confirming same).
Coincidentally, I just returned to Calgary on the weekend to tend to my business, visit family, and sign a lease on a vehicle which is intended for our use in Calgary once we land (In theory right?) It was a friends vehicle, very well cared for and i had to act even though we don't have an approved PR Visa. So, I intend to include documentation for that leased vehicle to try to help prove re-establishment. Having said that I am not prepared to sign a one year lease on an apartment for example without having an approved visa in hand... that's just not reasonable!!
Ideas anyone?
The second item corresponds to my wife the PR Applicant. I suppose that we need to submit a clear and detailed plan about her establishing herself in Canada. Work?, education? family? etc.
Again, any ideas would be helpful from you experiences...
Speedy processing!
