Can someone please provide answers to these questions. Apologize if they have been previously answered.
- Does a CEC applicant from another province need to provide proof of funds?
Strictly speaking no, but since you don't yet have a job in Ontario they may ask you for PoF, unless you can provide some evidence that your company will move you to Ontario should you so wish it, I'd be ready to provide PoF
- Can a print out of my bank statement alone suffice or do I have to obtain a letter drafted from the Canadian bank?
Strictly speaking it needs to be on bank letterhead, but there have been posts of people who provided print outs and it was accepted. If it's additional DOCs then a print out should be ok, if it's a new app then I'd try to get it from your bank just to be sure
- Anyone who lives in another province and has no tie to ontario, can you please paste below or inbox me a sample of your Letter of Intent to reside in the province? Also, what other proof did you provide?
Trust me, you don't want that... You don't want the office to question you on why did you use a template as your letter of intent, instead just say why you want to move to Ontario and be truthful about it, unless you write a convincing letter be ready to provide evidence that you've been searching for jobs in Ontario and housing when asked. The best kind of proof you can provide are: evidence of job interviews, job offer letter, if you have friends or family in Ontario include a copy of their ID
- Lastly, my job is a renewable contract position with an end date. Can I in a Letter of Explanation state the reason why it is a contract position which is because I do not have my PR yet (I know..employers :

)
Here are the eligibility requirements for CEC - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp - so long as you meet those you're fine, just be DAMN sure you meet them, if there is even the slightest change that a case office will calculate you experience and it will come up short of 12 months then you'll be refused, so in this case it may be better to select FSW (if you have over 5 years of exp. in your NOC)
Thank you so much.
