Hello all!
With improved ielts, I am expecting ITA in coming draws. Could someone kindly clear my following confusions as regards EOI application?
1. I have mentioned work-ex for my spouse. I guess it doesn't carry any points. Should I retain it in the form or take it off? considering issues in getting reference letters.
I don't remember whether you have to include history of your spouse. You do not have to include spouse work history for points. However, you have to include your spouse work history when the question asked you about your spouse's previous history in the past 10 years.
2. I have also mentioned about relatives in Canada (Spouse's Uncle). Should I retain it in the form or take it off? considering issues in getting proof for the same and unnecessarily taking favours from relatives? (want to save it for when we land there Wink )
You do not have to include relatives for points.
3. I have only mentioned my current employment details (> 6 years, and therefore maxed out on points). Hope that is okay? Would I need to give reference letters for previous employments also once I get the ITA?
You do not have to include all work history for points. Again, you have to state your previous work history in your personal history section (which asks about your history in the past 10 years).
4. Is it okay to change the application form several times? Do they keep a record of it and might use it against you in finally giving PR?
It is fine to change. Many people change in this forum.
5. Once I get ITA, the docs are to be submitted in hard copy OR scanned & uploaded?
Uploaded and you may be asked to provide hard copy later.
6. After submission of required docs, approx how much time does it take for them to revert with the PR stamping?
CIC aims to clear an application within 6 months.
7. Can I show 'proof of funds' in PF statement?
Yes, but it will be better to have official letters from the bank regarding your balance (your final balance at least), PLUS personal finance statements.
Many thanks in advance!!
