I applied for EE on 21st July 2018. (Medicals passed)
On 14th Dec, 2018, I received "Procedural Fairess" letter in my CIC Account.
It stated that I have not met the condition for FSW program regarding Proof of funds (R76(1)(b))
I had submitted my savings bank account statement only before as POF, which was about approx $12,600 CAD. My mistake was I didn't consider the exchange rate would change very much. I had considered exchg. rate at only 52.
However, as per the letter, my savings bank account only had CAD equivalent of 12,403, which are indeed short of minimum 12,475 required. (Immigration officer considered erstwhile rate of 53.17)
They asked me to respond in 7 days, and failure to do so would mean they would make decision based on current info, which might result in refusal.
As part of my response I drafted a cover letter, explaining the issue with exchange rate, and submitted latest statement along with balance certificate.
I have now shown enough funds to ensure even if exchange rate changed to 60, I would still meet the $12,475 criteria.
Does anyone has had familiar experience? If so, how are the chances of refusal, since Immigration office might find exchange rate issue as flimsy.
My estimated date of application completion is 21st Jan, 2019.
Can anyone share any experience or possible timeline of Canadian response to this?
