Thank you Asivad Anac

[Asivad Anac]

We both provided letter of explanation about PoF exemption with following links:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1145&top=29,
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp, and
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/offer.asp

We are confused because his notes says: Eligibility MET on 15 July. If PoF is not MET than how it is possible to MET Minimum Eligibility criteria.

My friends notes updated on 19 July while transferring to NDVO -
PAGE 73:

POF requirements don't apply if you have a valid job offer for a full-time, permanent and non-seasonal job along with a positive LMIA. If that is the case for both you and your friend, your applications won't be refused on POF grounds. Period.

Application fee is for processing hence have to pay for all family members whether accompanying or not. Also your spouse has to undergo for Medical and provide PCC.

And what about the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) ?

And what about the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) ?

Both the PA and the dependent has to pay both the processing fee (550 CAD) and RPRF (490 CAD). Dependent children on application do NOT need to pay RPRF. Also, for children, the processing fee is discounted to 150 CAD.

So, for a family of 3, the fee would be 1040 + 1040 + 150 = 2230 CAD.

I have selected to pay both the fee upfront as I thought that I dont need to pay fee for non-accompanying spouse. But now I realize that its more than my credit card limit, so is there any way to pay just processing fee first and RPRF fee later?

RPRF is not applicable to Non Accompanying family members.

RPRF is not applicable to Non Accompanying family members.

Yes, we both have a valid job offer for a full-time, permanent and non-seasonal job along with a positive LMIA.

Yea right, non-accompanying dependents do not require RPRF. I did not realize you were talking about a non-accompanying dependent.

I am submitting e-APR and wanted to run by my checklist with you to get suggestion on how to provide each document and what I am providing (in red font) against the requirement. My queries are in blue font under the document, I would really appreciate if seniors please just go through it and let me know what you think.

1. Passport/Travel Documents (Multiple). Scanned all the pages of my valid passport + copy of my valid post graduate work permit (Merged in one document)
A friend (who has an AOR) and is not on this forum, told me to include all of my previous study permit, co-op work permits merged with the above document, I don't see it written anywhere that I have to provide old study/work permit copies, safe to not provide them?

2. Proof of medical exam. Scanned copy of the e-medical information sheet (with a bar code) given to me by CIC panel doctor.

3. Proof of Relationship. Birth registration document of my mom + High school diploma of my aunt's (mother sister) that has her father name on it + my birth registration document.
My aunt does not have a birth certificate or misplaced. would the above supplied documents be sufficient to prove relationship?

4. Education. Copy of Canadian masters degree certificate and transcript + copy of Undergrad degree certificate and transcript

5. Employment Records. Employment Reference Letter (as per cic format) from my Manager + Employment verification document (from employee service center/HR) + Pay Stubs + T4
What else do you guys recommend me adding

6. Police Certificates (Multiple). Currently in the process of get this made from back home, not getting a Canadian one.

7. Family member proof of status.Copy of Canadian Passport (first 2 pages with name and bio and sign)

8. Proof of means of Financial support. Planning to request from my Canadian bank, the statement of all my bank accounts and statement of credit cards.

9. Digital Photo. Getting a regular passport photo (for Canadian passport) done from Walmart/London drugs and will scan it.
Is there any requirement of background color?

I really would appreciate if you take a moment to help me out with this or just see through another set of eyes and let me know what you think.

I have two friends who got their application rejected for not providing sufficient documents so I am trying my best to minimize my chances due to improper documentation.

Thank You.

Another query

I received my ITA under PNP, while my EE profile said that I have met Criteria for both CEC and FSW.

As Per CIC website, CEC has precedence over FSW, so I thought I would change my funds from something to "0" in my e-APR so that I won't have to provide Proof of Funds (one lesser document to worry about).

I am now thinking if I show keep it to what I have had set in my EE or change it into my eAPR now since I came to know that I am invited under PNP and not CEC, although my EE profile is based on Canadian work experience.

For CEC we don't need proof of funds but I am not sure if an exempt from it.

What do you guys suggest?

 

[Simplesim]

Hi Stanlee,
Thanks for quick reply...However, I already raised CSE to NDVO and CIC...also did emails thrice...no updates yet to CSE..Nor I received auto generated email after CSE..
