I am applying under FSW.
I really need help regarding "Proof of Admission", I can't find any satisfying comment anywhere so far.

Since I am national of Pakistan and I have Resident Permit (Iqama) of Saudi Arabia since last 20 years.
Visa office for Pakistan and Saudia is same which is London.

Is "Proof of Admission" applicable to me or not?
If applicable, what are the documents that I have to submit?

Did my landing today at Peace Bridge. There is a spot to make a U-turn before you get on the bridge. the whole thing took about 15 mins. The officer asked for Proof of funds and evidence of employment. I provided Pay-stubs for employment proof and bank statements for proof of funds.

Make sure you carry your bank statements with you. The amount doesn't really matter. I only had about 500 in my checking account and that is all I showed them. You can also bring along any RRSP statements. Good luck to everyone. I highly recommend going to the peace bridge for landing.

Hi Guys,
I did my landing at Peace bridge on Feb 14. I was asked to provide the employment letter and proof of funds. As I had about 6,500 in my check-in account so officer asked for my latest offer letter even though I had my latest pay stub. She gave me hard time telling that I had less than 11,000 in my account and my offer letter was from when I joined. I took me while to convince her that my latest pay stub proves that I am still employed. So I suggest either you have $ 11,000 in your account or have the recent copy of offer letter/employment letter (recommended present month's letter)

Thanks

Don’t worry its isolated case. Perhaps we should be prepared to take all necessary documents, pertinent to employment, financial details and Personal details (POA, DL etc)
Toor13 - Status to PR good and thanks for sharing your experience, apparently you should have taken some chocolates with heart shaped (spreading love) since you have landed on valentine day

Wondering if we really need to ask HR for new offer letter? Isn't Employment verification letter+pay-stubs good enough? I seriously doubt HR will be printing old offer letter with new date.
I can definitely get an offer letter which is due after I land and become PR of Canada not before.

I think the chocolate idea is great, but if it was a bad day for her who knows what she would interpret with that! glad toor13 could talk out of the situation.

Thanks p_sreenath, however since I am out of status now in Canada, so my options are:

1. Fly back to my home country and then fly to Canada and land @ airport POE.
2. Make U-turn at peace bridge and do the land there.

Does anyone know that when I do U-turn at peace bridge, will it clear my out of status situation ? Since option 1 I maybe questioned by CBSA when leave Canada ...
