Get a 1 pager statement from your bank - this is not the print of your account statement showing debits and credits over a period of time.

This statement on the bank letterhead will include the following,

1. Applicant's name and date of statement

2. Address, telephone, mail id of the bank (hopefully on the letterhead itself).

3. Account number(s)

4. Date(s) when each account was opened

5. Current balance of each account

6. Average balance in the past six months of each account

7. Signature of the concerned authority.

CIC doesn't require full disclosure of personal financials. If you can show all the balance in a single account, just mention that account alone in this statement and not all your accounts.

Banks can calculate average balance in a variety of ways, it doesn't matter how they calculate. What CIC is looking for is to identify if there is a large variation between present account balance and average balance of 6 months to identify if there have been any unreasonably large credit transactions into your account which might indicate borrowed funds. If there are any such transactions, the onus is on you to prove that those funds aren't borrowed.

Hope this clarifies. All the best! (Reference: Asivad Anac) :)

I have a query regarding Nomination and Selection section in Application details.

I have provincial nomination but not via express entry. Whether this section specifically asks for express entry ?

Whether i should say yes as i have nomination?

Thanks

I do have a query.

Regarding my UAE PCC, it was issued in Arabic. Previously, police authorities used to issue the PCC in English but now it seems, they have stopped doing that. Once I received my UAE PCC, I had it translated into Englisg by a legal translation agency authorized by the Ministry of Justice, UAE.

During submission of my PR application, I had submitted both my UAE PCC and the translated copy by that agency. My question, is have I left anything out.
The reason I'm asking is because in some posts, I have seen people mentioning that an affidavit is required. Please advise guys :(

I imagine that should be fine because the translation has federal backing of the issuing country which, incidentally, is also the case with the PCC.

Should not be a problem.

I have received ITA in 13th draw. How do I know if I am invited under FSW or CEC? Additionally, I already have CEC application in process from July 2014, if i apply for EE under FSW, would i have to withdraw my old application or can i have both applications in process simultaneously.

Your ITA letter will have this information.

Both your applications can be in process concurrently but you've to keep CIC informed about your previous application when asked for in EE. In addition to that, no harm in uploading an LOE that gives this information to CIC.

I am so lost with these translations..
the agency I used an the person that translated my documents is oppointed and authorized to work as an official court interpretor, by the county court.

After reading different posts on affidavits, I am considering having all of my documents translated again by a Canadian translator in Canada. Besides the cost issues, I have another problem. There is only 5 translators in Canada that translate from croatian. I sent a message to all of them and only one replied positively. she said she is going on a vacation and would need to finish translating all of my documents by this friday, as she will be away for the next 3 weeks. My PCC's will not arrive in time ( Murphy's law :) ) for her to translate them..
the other translator says she is just in the proces of moving and is later going on her vacation..

which leaves me with 3 certified canadian translators in canada, that are most likely also on their vacation :'(

Hi,

In the past 6 months I have maintained my balance around 12,000 for one person (employed). I quit my job before I submit my application. However, my account this month has more than 40,000. Which number should I put in my profile?

Second questions:

I went to my bank and told them the requirements. However, they said they only have one set of format with signature to CIC, which has:

-bank address, contact, mail id, telephone
-date of the first account opened (not all)
-current balance
-signature.

And they put composite monthly statement of all my accounts (each account has an account number) with detailed transactions for the past 6 months behind the letter. Therefore, it has more than one page.

Do you think that's okay to submit?

Just mention 12,000.

Ask your bank to just add 1 number - average balance of last 6 months - CIC doesn't need your monthly account statements listing all your transactions. And if you have 12000 CAD in one account, you don't need this certificate for any other account at all.
