Thank you Asivad Anac

[Asivad Anac]

Thanks Asivad.

We got the Ontario email for applying for nomination. I had a few doubts.

Congratulations!

1. Work Experience: how many reference letters are required ? Also does one need to add joining letter/ reliving letter ? How many pay slips would need to be sent. Further the employment history includes 2 jobs with the same NOC. Do we need to send joining letters/ reference letters/ pay slips for both Jobs ?

You need a reference letter for each job that gets you points on their scale. You can get up to 15 points for 6+ years of experience in the same NOC 0/A/B within the last 10 years. Joining/relieving letter and pay slips aren't required if you have a valid reference letter. You will need to get valid reference letters for each unique employer separately even if the jobs were in the same NOC.


2. Settlement Funds - there would be 1 principal applicant and 1 dependent who would be migrating. But the application guide states that the funds should be enough for even dependents who would not be migrating. Does this mean we need to show enough funds for all the dependents including those who would not be migrating to Canada.

Funds are required only for PA and spouse/common-law partner/dependent children (whether they accompany your or not). No other family member dependent or otherwise (parents, siblings) need to be counted in this.

My next question is how does one show enough settlement of funds as the application guide states that the last 6 months back statements submitted should have enough money equivalent to the number of dependents. How does one work arranging the funds and crediting them to the bank ? Will papers of SIP/ Mutual funds work or does everything need to be in available cash in the bank ? I read somewhere on this forum about a gift card, can someone please throw some light on this ?Or are there any other options that can help us.

Preferably funds in the bank because Ontario doesn't allow anything else to be counted. Liquidate those SIP/MF and get the monies in the bank. The money need NOT have been there for 6 months. If the present account balance is equal to or higher than the required LICO in your case, that would work fine. The only requirements are that the funds must be in the PA's name and none of it should be borrowed. You can be gifted money by spouse, sibling, parent, relative or friends but you will need to submit signed self-declarations from the donor confirming that this isn't a loan and doesn't need to be repaid to them. In addition to that, you would need to submit evidence of the transaction as well to validate the declaration and prove that the monies were indeed transferred to your account.

3. I read on the Ontario website that there is a cap on the base stream applications. I also read on the forum that applications sent now will be processed in Jan 16. Can someone please throw some more light on this as it is confusing.

Further once the application has been sent, when will it get processed and usually how much time does it take. Do all applications get processed ?

Base stream is the NON-EE route. You don't need to worry about that as it won't affect you. Each application is processed (that's why one pays 1500 CAD) and is returned only if found incomplete. Else OINP promises to process 80% applications within 90 days or less. Expect some delays because of the year-end holidays but you can safely assume that they will process your application within the promised window of 3 months, give or take a few weeks.

3. Both me and and my husband have entered our profiles in the pool, now that one has got the OINP letter of interest and we would be submitting the application, can the other spouse continue with their profile in the pool ?

Assuming both of you have declared the respective spouse in your own applications and also mentioned that the spouse will be accompanying to Canada, there is no harm in letting the other profile stay in the pool. It won't make any difference though if their score is less than 450 as they won't be getting a 'regular' ITA in the near future. You haven't mentioned your CRS but if you have a 450+ score, you can ignore this invitation as you will get a 'regular' ITA in the near future. If you have a sub-450 score, recommend that you send in a perfect application to Ontario asap.

[Asivad Anac]

I have two queries for which I need answer. I have applied in Express Entry and Nova Scotia Nominee Program. NSNP has nominated me 2 days ago. However, the problem is that I am getting married in 3rd week of dec-2015. if I accept my nomination then most probably I will get ITA before 3rd week of Dec.

1- If I get ITA before getting married, then can add my spouse in my application in EE?
2- will I have to inform the nova scotia about my marital status after 3rd week of DEc?
3-Can I only change my marital status in EE Profile and sponsor spouse later on when I get PR as preparing my spouse Passport, marriage certificate is very time consuming and takes time.

Kindly assist me in this regard.

You will have to inform both NS and CIC about the change in your marital status whenever that happens and also submit documentation to prove the same. The only choice you have is whether your spouse accompanies you or not on this application. And I would recommend that you definitely include them in this application itself - sponsoring them at a later date will be a much longer and uncertain process - start preparing their documents asap. Because you have 600 points from the PN, adding your spouse to this application will not be a burden at all. Your PN is valid for 1 year so you can decline a few ITAs till you get married, get the documents in place, accept an ITA in Jan/Feb and submit a complete application along with your spouse.

This is weird! But there is nothing you can do. GCMS notes, as helpful as they are, are usually unidirectional. You can understand what is happening with your application but, like this case, you cannot influence any of it.

I see from your timeline that you had an interview call - probably that has something to do with this. Or it could simply be a typo which was subsequently corrected after they pulled out the notes for you. You can know for sure by ordering another set - recommend that you do that asap.

All the best!

Thanks for clarifying my queries. I have to accept my nomination within 30 Calendar days so there are one option available only:
1- I will accept nomination now and inform NS about my marital status when I will get married which is almost 40 days from today.

Another Question :
If I will add my spouse in the application in January 2016, what documents do I need to submit. Because I don't want to claim points for my spouse education as it will have to verified by ECA and take another 4-5 months.

You don't need any points from your spouse so they won't have to do an ECA for their credentials or take IELTS. They will need PCC(s) for all countries they have lived in for 6 months or more in a row since turning 18. They would also need to get their medicals done AFTER you have added them to your application. In addition to all this, you will have to show more POF than a single applicant unless you are eligible under CEC.

 

[Pushpaacna]

Thank you for your kind response. I'd like to ask one more quick question. Does my ECA has anything to do with the NOC code I choose unless it is a professional occupation (skill type A)? In other words, how do they give points for job -i s it absolutely based on the experience in a related job or the applicant must also have any relevant degree? How does it work?


Thanks!

Your ECA (or more accurately, your educational credentials) don't necessarily have to match with your chosen NOC even for most NOC A jobs. Unless you are claiming work experience as a dentist/surgeon/lawyer/one of those professions where education credentials are entry barriers.

Points for work experience are awarded based on your work reference letter.

Asivad Anac . I still haven't heard anything since dm 30 days ago .Aor 5 months ago. This seems abnormal as most applicants are notified within 14 days average around 7 days . Any ideas what I should do or have you seen any other similar cases ?

I can think of at least 1 more member eSantos who had to wait for more than 4 weeks from DM. That was sometime in July/August. Certainly not normal but all they could do then was keep calling CIC to confirm if their application was approved and finally 1 agent confirmed that it was indeed approved. You can try calling them as well. If you're applying from inside Canada, you can reach out to your local MP for assistance as well.

 

[Joey10]

Thanks I've called CIC at least ten times and nothing . They tell me its normal to as its within 6 months . So I ask If I got DM after 1 month would I have to wait 5 months to for notification .
Maybe I'll try local MP .

Thanks

I got my ppr but I still have my work permit valid until march 16th.Im going to travel in December I don't want to valid my ppr.
Do you think I can come back to Canada and work with WP and valid my PR in March?

 

[ali27]

Hello Question,
If I submit my Pr application and received eAPR and a few months after I resigned from my job to pursue further studies in Canada will this affect my application in any way.
