Hi, I have applied under SINP Express entry on Nov,5 and recently got below Queries form SINP on my Birth Certificate document and proof of Fund.
1. Birth Certificate- I do not have Birth certificate so I submitted my Education doc i.e. Secondary school certificate but it has only my father name not my mother name, so I provided my passport which has both parents name along with my DOB and name, same documents I have provided for my spouse as well. But, as our Education Documents does not have mother name in it , they are not accepting as Birth certificate document.
Immigration authorities need the Birth Certificate for all applicants including dependents. They will not accept your educational certificate as a replacement. My recommendation is to get one issued.
2. Proof Of Fund- I provided Mutual fund, Canadian Bank account Balance and my India Provident fund and Gratuity amount as well, They accepted Mutual Fund but not PF , which i don;t understand. I have read in so many forum that you can show PF and gratuity amount under your settlement or proof of fund as this money will be available once I will resign from my current job, while moving to Canada.
PF funds are not considered by CIC as PoF, they need the funds to be readily available and should be there with you prior to 3 months of application date. The best bet for anyone is savings in the bank account, term/ fixed deposits.
Can anyone please share some advice on above points on how should I move forward on this or provide information back to SINP?
Thanks in advance for your help and timely support on this.
