[Chef Sumit]

Hi guys,

A lot of people have been really helpful and take time to answer our questions.

kryt0n and DelPierr07 have been very helpful too hence I have created this thread so that we can also ask for their advice or opinion.

They will only address our queries if they are 100 percent sure.

Cheers!!

Hi Guys,

I have couple of questions:

1. Is a fixed deposit slip enough as proof of funds?

2. Also in case you lived in a country (in our case Sri Lanka) as a tourist on a tourist visa and your length of stay was more than 6 months (not in one stretch though), then do you need a PCC from that country? CIC website says that you only need a PCC from Sri Lanka if you have legal status. So what is the definition of legal status?

Hey,

1) Not sure as I do not have any experience with FD. I would suggest cashing them in and provide evidence that you had the funds before you cashed them, but please get further clarification on that.

2) I assume legal status means someone was there illegally. If you had a valid visa (tourist or otherwise) you were likely there legally. As you were there for more than 6 months you need a PCC. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/asia-pacific/sri-lanka.asp

If you are not a citizen of Sri Lanka

If you live outside of Sri Lanka:
You can apply at your nearest Sri Lankan Embassy/Consulate or you can mail your application and applicable fees by registered mail to:

Inspector General of Police
Police Headquarters, Colombo 1, Sri Lanka

If you live in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, you can apply at:
Consulate of Sri Lanka
9-D Nawab Habibullah Avenue
Anderson Road
Chennai 600 006

Police certificates are available to non-nationals who have legal status in the country.

If you do not have legal status, you are not required to provide a Sri Lankan police certificate. If you are asked for a Sri Lankan police certificate, write: “I cannot provide a police certificate for the time I spent in Sri Lanka because certificates are only available to people who have legal status.”

Fixed deposit notice or slip works, but it should be stamped by the bank and supported with a bank certificate and last 6 months statements.

This is for oinp. For IRCC FD is valid and okay. Should be 6 months old and supported with bank statement.

In my case, I had FDs and I submitted FD certificates with bank stamp, date of deposit, date of maturity, amount deposited etc. I also submitted a letter from the bank in which I had the FD - the letter stated that all the funds belong to me and is loan free and also can be liquidated instantly on request by the customer. Since there are no 6 mpnths statements available for FDs, I submitted this letter. Hope this helps!

Hell friends,
I have a small query. I filed my application on 14.11.2016
Now I see on this forum that every stamped page of passport has to uploaded. Mine is a blank passport as I have never travelled outside my home country. As I have procured PCC twice, there are two stamps on my passport for PCC. Should I also upload them by raising CSe or is it fine without PCC stamping.
I have sent the PCC with my application, so they know that I have a valid PCc.

Thanks and regards

i think when they say every stamp on Passport that includes that PCC stamp. so yes i would suggest raise CSE and upload it along a LOE explaining all o that.

Can H1B visa rejection in past be a problem.

Do we need to disclose it while submitting application post ITA.
