Hi smile_2good, thanks for replying but sorry for not making it clear - I want to apply for family stream and I will use the SINP online application site.smile_2good said:Dear
1. if you are applying as skilled worker stream then you don't have to submit "settlement funds" as you need to get 35 points and they can be achieved even without settlement funds, but if u are applying under family stream then you will have to show settlement funds (C$10000 principle applicant + C$2000 for each dependent)
2. There is no payment or fee for the provincial part of the application. when you will get nominated and will submit your application to CIC then will have to pay application fee.. but for now there is no provincial process fee..
3. Submit all the application forms and documents mentioned in the document check list that will be consider as complete, if there is any missing document as mentioned in checklist they will return your application.. if application is complete they will start to process on it and they may ask any additional document which they will intimate you via email. A procedural Guideline will be very helpful. here is the link and read the administrative staff duties...
There is no reason to hire representative, not at all and don't waste money... All the paper work you can do yourself... Representatives don't do any special work... save your money so you can use it when in Canada.

My concern is really, there is this settlement fund portion to be filled-in, since I don't have the funds now, is it OK to click SUBMIT? What would be the outcome if I submit it but leaving the funds settlement blank since I plan to put in money later when the application is approved already. You know $20k for us is hard to gather.
Do I need the checklist even if I can satisfy what is required in the online application?
waiting for responses again tnx
