Two quick items I wanted to get your viewpoint on. First is related to my marriage certificate. My wife was married before and hence our marriage certificate puts her starting status as divorced on it. Does this mean that I would need to include her previous divorce certificate also and hence get it ready, or that may not be needed. Currently i'm thinking that once I get ITA, I will load the marriage certificate required and if they need anything additional related to her previous status will provide at that time.
Yes. Try and get all possible legal documents pertaining to the previous marriage. And be upfront in providing that documentation along with a letter of explanation so that you don't run the risk of delaying your application process or being rejected on a technicality as VOs under EE appear to be quite comfortable rejecting outright rather than asking additional documents. Additionally, if there were kids from that marriage, get legal documentation on that as well. And you just might have to consult a lawyer if there are kids involved so that you cover your bases well.
The other question is related to the immigration and citizenship question on the EE profile. I got a tourist visa almost 15 years ago and hence have replied yes to that question and don't have a UCI number on the visa and hence left the UCI field blank. Just wanted to check if in your view this applies to any application to CIC such a tourist visa or rather to immigration applications.
I believe UCI did not exist 15 years ago so that could be the reason you don't have it. I believe this requirement applied only to immigration category visa but there are others who believe that this includes all visa types. Anyways, no harm done by providing this information because they will have your details on file and could track it down, if needed.
Also, for ONP I created a new profile and just to be one the safe side have answered yes to the "have you applied to EE beffore" question along with entering the profile number of the previous profile. I know people differ on this as they believe this is Yes only after ITA, I am thinking of being cautious and avoid any risk of misrepresentation and have answered yes to this. Do you think this is a big deal or if you would answer it differently.
I still believe that the answer should be No to this one because creating an online profile is not the same as applying to EE. Again, it is fine if you've answered Yes because it appears to be a data collection question and has nothing to do with your eligibility for the program per se.
Thank you again for all your help to everyone on the forum, it is helping a lot of people!
You'll get a personalized checklist post ITA. This is what the generic checklist looks like.Londo said:Hi Guys,
I am sorry for the ignorance but after ITA what is the list of documents we will need to submit the application.
Hard to say without knowing the details of your profile. But the quickest way to increase scores is by improving language scores. If possible, share your profile so that we can help you further.Nafees said:Hello Asivad..
Hope you can guide me as well...
I am a Secondary science teacher with CRS score 350..plz help me what should i do to increase my points? and is there any PNP that could help me out? what are my options???
Hi Asivad Anac, thank you for your explanation. I have 6 years work experience in my home country, so I am eligible for FSWP, then I got PNP nominated. My concern is if I am off work for holiday, will the CIC say that I am not a full-time worker, which is the basic requirement for PR application. Anyway, the problem was settled, my boss may let me continue to work during school break.Asivad Anac said:I still don't get it - haven't you been working for more than a year already? If that were the case, the system would've found you ineligible upfront. Or is it that you will lose some CRS points because of these lesser number of working hours in June-July? Even in that case, your additional points under BCPNP should be good enough to see you through along with an LOE that details out this discrepancy (if you are questioned by CIC at any point in time, that is).
You can provide pay stubs for the last 3 months to show some continuity.
All the best!

Glad to see you got that sorted.
I have another big concern, when I applied BCPNP, I asked my manager to sign the recommendation letter, job offer and other company related documents. Now I am proceeding with PR application, could I ask our principal (we are a private school) to signed the Letter of Employment, Offer of Job and Employment Reference Letter?
If they are your supervisor, then I don't see any reason why they can't sign these documents. I'm also guessing they are the senior most administrative authority at your school and, if that be the case, it adds considerable weight to the documentation.
Thank you very very much..
Consistency is certainly welcome and CIC expects the reference letter to be signed by the immediate supervisor or the personnel officer of the organization.I_love_van said:To be honest, our manager is not very supportive to my application, but our principal does. I may encounter some difficulties if I asked my manager to sign those documents at this time. I just worrying if the CIC require all these company related documents should be in consistent with the PNP application. And if the PNP office send all my application documents or information to CIC?
I have so many questions, you may think I worry myself. But after read some many friends in the forum saying they were refused for incomplete documents, I just want to prepare my documents as perfect as possible...Thank you for your understanding..
Asivad Anac, thank you for your timely reply.Asivad Anac said:Consistency is certainly welcome and CIC expects the reference letter to be signed by the immediate supervisor or the personnel officer of the organization.
However, if it is signed by an officer senior in the hierarchy to your immediate supervisor, I imagine that should be alright. If you're still in doubt, add an LOE highlighting the fact that your Manager isn't willing to sign this letter for some reason and that's why you've got the Principal to sign it instead and attach the Principal's business card with the reference letter as well. That should do it.
Sounds like a plan, I_love_van ! (see what I did there)I_love_van said:Asivad Anac, thank you for your timely reply.
I really hope that we can meet someday with other friends in this forum.
