[Goodman!!]

Can you please tell me where in the instruction guide does it say that passport should be notarized?

passport copy doesn't need to be notarised. i think she just said in general..

Oh really? Try sending your passport copies and other documents without notarizing them. I advice that you read your VO country specific instructions thoroughly and make an informed decision

I am planning not to add my child so we will be only two appliying for the application for now how much fund do i have to show?
According to CIO for a family of 2 is $13,837. IS it ok if i show around that figure or do i need to show fund for 3 as i have mentioned the details of my family of 3- me, my wife, and child. child will not accompany with us this time. Please experts share ur views and suggestion.

 

[new_2_canada]

You have added your child in the application and even if you had not hiding the fact from CHC have implications of file being rejected. How would you justify your child if you had not shown in the file?

so in short yes you will have to show funds for 3 and add your child if you have not done it till now.

i have mentioned it in family details but mentioned child will not accompany us for now and prepared a custodian letter where and with whom she will be staying for couple of years. Till we get settled there.

I think you missed my point! My point is if you send these docs without notarizing, your application would be returned. Thus my suggestion to read guidance and VO instruction. You would see this reflected in my earlier post! Mandie

Everything is notarized or original, but for passport, on CIO checklist it says COPY of bio data page.

**** BREAKING NEWS ****

POINT SYSTEM WON'T CHANGE

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Skilled workers and professionals: Who can apply—Six selection factors and pass mark

Will you qualify?

If you are eligible to apply as a skilled worker, you will be assessed on six selection factors and a point system. Learn more about each factor by clicking on it.



Selection Factor
Points

Education
Maximum 25 points

Proficiency in English and/or French
Maximum 24 points

Experience
Maximum 21 points

Age
Maximum 10 points

Arranged employment in Canada
Maximum 10 points

Adaptability
Maximum 10 points

Total
Maximum 100 points

Pass mark
67 points


You can also assess your qualifications using our skilled worker self-assessment test.

If your score is the same or higher than the pass mark, then you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker.

If your score is lower than the pass mark, you are not likely to qualify to immigrate to Canada as a skilled worker. We recommend that you do not apply at this time.

However, you can still apply if you believe other factors would show that you are able to establish yourself in Canada and support your dependants. Send a detailed letter with your application explaining why you think you are able to become economically established in Canada. Include any documents that support your claim.

Principal applicant

If you are married or living with a common-law partner, either you or your spouse can apply as the principal applicant. Use the self-assessment test to help you determine which person is likely to earn the most points. That person should apply as the principal applicant. The other person would be considered as a dependant in the application.

Note: A common-law partner is a person who has lived with you in a conjugal relationship for at least one year. Common-law partner refers to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples.

Hi I'm a newbie here and I'm glad I found this forum. Been getting a lot of information here. Anyway, according to our lawyer they just sent our application by courier today so it will probably get there on Monday. Tomorrow, July 1 is Canada Day which is a holiday so almost all of the offices are closed.

NOC:3152
VO: Buffalo

Goodluck to all of us.

Keeping fingers crossed...
