Hi Asivad Anac,

My emedical says -

IME: EDE
Upfront medical type: Family-EDE

Is this correct for Express Entry FSW PR Application ?

I git invited in Jan 06, 2016 ITA..

Thanks in Advance for all you help...!!

Thanks
Rahul

It should really be non-EDE Worker but I imagine that this is fine. Ask the clinic to reconfirm that they've done upfront medicals for PR.

Hi Asivad

My OINP application was received on November 4th and I just had it returned today as incomplete for the following reason:

"Fee Payment Instrument has to be Drawn on Canadian Account"

My bank draft was issued in Canadian dollars and is valid for a year. I dont understand how they expect people to somehow remotely setup Canadian bank accounts, despite having no legal status that would allow me to do so, and why wasn't this mentioned in the application guide?

Has anyone else faced the same problem, or can help me figure what they need exactly?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I'm not rajkamalmohanram/rajanvnv, but there was a similar case to yours...they got a CAD bank draft from a bank in India, and OINP returned it to them. A couple of members who got drafts from the same bank compared their drafts...the one whose draft was already encashed confirmed it was the same. The member whose draft was returned appealed to OINP, who rechecked the draft and accepted back the package and the draft. Human error.

Is your bank draft drawn against a Canadian bank, it should say so on the draft? Scotiabank, etc. If you really think it's valid, then you should appeal/explain again. I hope for your sake this is an easily fixable case. At worst, they would have given you another 30 days to resubmit the payment.

Do you have any friends in Canada who can do this on your behalf? You can send them all the documents, they will enclose the draft locally and forward the entire package to OINP.

rajkamalmohanram/rajanvnv, any advise here?

So is this possible , I mean to send the package on my beahlf ,?? I do have relatives in Canada but they couldn't provide me a bank draft to be sent to Iraq ,,they said it is not possible for security reasons
Please inform me if it is ok for me to send them the package in an open envelope so they can forward to oinp

Perfectly fine to do that.

And it wouldnt hurt if the bank draft is issued from a canadian bank ,, and the account is not mine nor beloging to me ?? It is my cousin account ,,, oinp doesn't require the bank draft to be mine ?right ??

I imagine they are only concerned about getting the money along with your complete application - IRCC doesn't bother if you pay the fee using someone else's card and I imagine MCIIT would be the same on this front.

Hi Asivad,

I have a question similar to this. For my home country, officially (by law) I have to apply for the PCC in person and cannot authorize other persons to apply on my behalf (it states on the CIC PCC site too).

I'm living in Canada, so going back to my home country to get a PCC is really costly. However, I called the embassy and they said that the Department of Justice in my home country will likely make an exception to cases like mine. So I went ahead and signed authorization forms and my parents were able to obtain the PCC for me.

I'm worried if CIC will consider the PCC invalid?

Hey
I want to ask one question.
I am in Canada right now, but i asked my parents to get PCC from India. They got my PCC and i submitted with my application.

Yesterday i read on CIC's website that if we are in Canada, we have to ask india embassy or visa office for PCC
Is that be problem i submitted PCC from india which my parents got me???

Let's hope better sense prevails. That's all one can hope for, right.

All the best!

Right! Usually, there is a forwarding CANADIAN bank that is mentioned on the DD. For instance, the bank that was mentioned on my DD was "Bank of Montreal, Toronto".

In the past, I recall one person whose application was refused for getting a payment instrument from Western Union.

I was not aware of the "human error" incident you mentioned - thanks for sharing that info!

As long it is a draft that they can cash, you are good to go!

Hello everyone,

This forum has been very helpfull to me and I have a couple of questions regarding my application:
I received my AOR after sending all the documents, but I have doubts about some documents :

1) I applied with my girlfriend and we provided official mail sent to the same address to prove our relationship. Though we didn't fill the IMM 5409 E "STATUTORY DECLARATION OF COMMON-LAW UNION" because here (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=347&t=14) it says you don't need it if you provide other documents. We ask a Canadian representative here in France and they told us we need to fill it without having it signed by an official (it took them a month to answer our email). Do you think you should sign it and send it via a CSE ?

2) I only have one job experience and my manager wrote me a letter detailing my work. The letter didn't use the same terms as the NOC I used, the meaning is basically the same but the terms are different. Also there are other responsibilities that are included in my letter but not mentioned in the NOC description. Do you think I should have my manager draft an other letter closer to the NOC description and send it via CSE ?

For both cases, I don't know if I should wait for CIC to contact me if they need additional documents (which might not be the case and they might approve my application with the documents I submitted originally) or send them via CSE. I am more worried about the employment letter because if I send one now different from the one I uploaded they might suspect fraud or something...

What's your take on this ?

No harm in sending this via CSE.

Don't do this.

For both cases, I don't know if I should wait for CIC to contact me if they need additional documents (which might not be the case and they might approve my application with the documents I submitted originally) or send them via CSE. I am more worried about the employment letter because if I send one now different from the one I uploaded they might suspect fraud or something...

What's your take on this ?

This. Precisely.

Common misunderstanding.

The 6 months average balance need NOT be above LICO. It is sufficient if your present balance is equal to or greater than LICO. Continue with your application.

All the best!

Thank you Asivad. I relieve now.
Yes, because different person different answer. I hope this question also could tell the others who misunderstand with this issue

Hello Asivad,
what should a friend of mine do if his 441 points (1 year of Canadian experience) are increased by CIC profile update to 466 points (it seems to me like for 2 years of experience), but it's happened more than a month before his 2 years are being accomplished which would be on March 17th.
Should he decline all the ITA's (if any) until the March 17th when his 2nd year of experience is going to be accomplished?
Thank you very much in advance for your opinion.
