Hello guys
Got a mail from the office which is a bit disturbing. My brother stays in Alberta thus they are doubting my intention to stay in NS. well we can't sign a bond that we r going to stay there and Ppl who have nominations also cannot prove it by any document. So please guide me to convince them. Here is the content of the mail
I am writing in reference to your application under the Nova Scotia Nominee Program – Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry stream. The Nova Scotia Office of Immigration (NSOI) has assessed your application, and intends to refuse your application based on the following:
Eligibility Criteria – Intention to Settle in Nova Scotia
Our office is not satisfied that you intend to settle permanently in Nova Scotia, as the evidence on file argues a stronger connection to the Western Provinces of Canada (Alberta and Saskatchewan) rather than the Province of Nova Scotia. If you have additional information regarding this matter, please provide by April 24, 2015.
If you have further information in regards to the above matter our office will also require the following documentation in order to continue the processing of your application;
· A reference letter from your office with contact information for the person who has provided the reference.
· Copies of official statements of transactions (with account balances) for all bank accounts in your name and/or your spouse’s name for the past 3 months
· At the time of submission you stated that you have no liabilities (bank loans, personal loans, lines of credit and credit card balances), is this still true? If you or your spouse do have bank loans, personal loans, lines of credit and/or credit card balances in your name and/or her name, please submit copies of your statements for the past 3 months.
· Copies of your paystubs for the past 3 months
· The terms and conditions of your deposit with Bank. Can these funds be withdrawn before the maturity date? Is there a penalty to withdraw before this date, if yes, what is this penalty?
If the requested information is not received by April 24, 2015, then your application will be refused and your file closed. This information can be scanned and sent to me via email. An official intent to refuse letter is attached.
Best regards.

I notice that you are asked to provide Education Diplomas/Degrees for both spouse and yourself.
Anyway, I claimed that my spouse did not have an ECA/WES report, so they do not ask me for the Education Diplomas/Degrees of my spouse.
Did your spouse have an ECA/WES report?
Thanks!

Hi thanks for sharing the checklist. I am not sure why are they requesting these documents now at this stage. Don't we have to submit these documents after receiving ITA. Is there any deadline provided to you i.e. within how many days you need to submit these documents.kujo said:Guys, I received doucment checklist!
