Procedural Fairness Letter for Settlement Plan.

[K4444]

Hello guys,

I am new on this forum, and I hope you can please spare some time to allay my fears.

I currently live in the province of Ontario but was nominated by Nova Scotia. I applied for my PR under the PNP-express entry category. After 6 months of processing my PR application, CIC sents me a procedural fairness letter, requesting for a settlement plan.

The letter states that "....according to our records, you were nominated by Nova Scotia but currently live in Ontario. Please send a detailed settlement plan showing how you intend to settle down in Nova Scotia"

My question is, do I need to be worried?..I have called CIC office and was told every other thing in my file looks fine. I am very worried.

Are there examples of people who got procedural fairness letter on the basis of SETTLEMENT PLAN and still got PPR after after submitting their plan ?...Please, I could you use lots of positive examples right now, if anyone has. Thanks for your time.

If you're applying under a PNP program, the province that nominates you wants to make sure you will settle there.

Once you're a PR, they can't stop you moving, so it's much easier to deny PR to people who never intended to stay in the nominating province.

Do you intend to stay in Nova Scotia? If the answer is no, then you can expect your PNP nomination to be denied.

Thank you for your response. I already got the provincial nomination. I have applied for the PR...just wanted to know if there are other PNP nominees like me, who have been asked for a settlement plan during PR application process....and yes, I do intend to live in Nova Scotia

Please take it seriously. If you can't give a reasonable settlement plan, next letter is refusal letter, and VO may investigate for misrepresentation. It is your responsibility to show that you intend to live in the province which nominates you, since you confirmed and signed "yes, I intend to settle in NS" when you were applying for NS PNP. You should have moved to Nova Scotia after you were nominated by NS.

Good luck.

Hmm, I searched the forum for "Settlement Plan" and I saw lots of threads where people are asking for one, but very few replies. Try searching and going through them as well. I did see a few examples but I have no idea if those are good or not.

A procedural fairness letter is a big deal. IRCC is essentially prepared to deny your application, but are giving you a chance to explain. If it's gotten to the point where a PFL is issued, you should assume IRCC has done all the back ground checks and have the proof that they need to deny you (or worse, ban you for misrepresentation). Strongly suggest lawyering up at this point.
