Dear J.lord,

I calculated my points as 68. In online application, even after my nomination it is showing 48 points as they did not assign any points in the system for my IELTS.

For your second question, I am not quite sure exactly when they changed my status to "application nominated". I checked my e-mail first after around 3 hours SINP sent that to me. Then I checked my online status and found that it also changed to "application nominated".

Thanks.

What is the meaning of "Provident Fund Balance"?

About your second question, if your work experience letter be what they really want (refer to their instruction PDF file) then they won't contact your work place. At least for this year it was like that.

SASKATOON or REGINA

Dear Forum Mates,

After getting the nomination letter, now I am wondering where can I plan to settle in SK. Searching the web, I feel that Saskatoon and Regina are the two big cities in SK where I may start. Can anyone share their thoughts or suggestions who is currently living/ previously lived or any other experience through friends/family about Saskatchewan specially related to these two cities?

FYI, as of now I do not have any preference because I do not have any close connection in Saskatchewan. Surely, I believe this discussion will help each other (especially myself) also to be mentally prepared before reaching in an uncertain condition/situation. My educational and job background is in Finance& Accounts area. How can I prepare myself to take the future challenges?

Any kind of suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

My friend,
I think only people who lived in Regina or Saskatoon can help us to find a correct answer but when you search the web you can see people who live in Regina, love it very much and also people who live in Saskatoon love it very much!
I think both cities are good. Regina is warmer place than Saskatoon (about 2 - 3 degrees Celsius) but I read before that Saskatoon has a better water and beautiful landscape.
About Job opportunities, I think Regina must be a little better because it is the major governmental city of Saskatchewan.
It is a very good topic to discuss for us at this point. Then Other friends please share your ideas and views.

See my response to your questions below.
1. Yes, you can.
2. In my case SINP did not make any inquiry to any of my employers.
Thanks.

Saskatoon is bigger than regina, your concern as a new comer is jobs. Saskatoon has alot of job opportunities in every areas. Jobs in regina are mostly offered by the govt. Private companies at regina have limitied job offer. But one fact you can ignore is that as a new comer, you ll be stuck with a mania job until you have fully integrated yourselve with the country

I have few questions about the PNP application that I am planning to send to CIC. What is your opinion on the following matters?

-Funds required to settle in Canada: In the application guideline it mentioned that “You must prove that you have enough money unencumbered by debts or obligations to support yourself and your family members after you arrive in Canada.” In Schedule 4: Economic Classes - Provincial Nominees question 4 only asked about the amount of unencumbered (by debts or obligations) transferable and available funds you have in Canadian dollars. In the PNP application checklist nothing is mentioned about "Proof of Settlement Fund" like FSW checklist. My question is what I should include with my application package to CIC as I have already provided this evidence to SINP. Should I provide my entire bank and other statements again as of latest date?

-Work Experience: Do I need to provide my latest job reference letter from my employer to CIC? Nothing is mentioned in PNP application checklist.

-Proof of Education: Do I need to attach the copy of my educational certificates and ECA to CIC? Nothing is mentioned in PNP application checklist.

When I asked these questions to SINP they provided me a very simple answer -“Please direct any questions regarding your Permanent Residency application to CIC.” :-[

 

[J.lord]

Hi Sp_Bd
My advice to you is to use all document you used during your application with the sinp, because cic will request more documentation at there own discretion. But dont forget to send your police clearance with your app so, righ now all you need is police clearance and let cic do their job. Please dont add any new documents to avoid misrepresentation ok good luck

My Friend,
You don't need to send Settlement Funds, Work experience or Education certificate to CIC because these assessments already done in your province (SINP) side and CIC will go to check your security check and Health check only. I suggest open the CIC Checklist file and send only those items they want from you in that list.

Depends on your skills and education. You can settle down either location.
Ultimately, you need to do jobs.

More IT companies are in Regina.

Thank you VictorPapa and SP_BD for sharing the experience.

@VictorPapa: Here in India, some amount from salary is deducted by employer and it is getting credited into Provident fund managed by government. On leaving the job, we get this amount along with applicable interest rate.
