I need suggestion from my forum friends. My immigration officer is MCH. Now story is,

We received medical request in Sep'13 along with police certificates for myself and my spouse from Pakistan. Also police certificate from UK for myself only. Now after four months MCH has asked for Police Certificate for my spouse from UK as well.

MCH has not asked for Proof of Funds so far. We provided Proof of Funds in sep'12 when there was addition in the family.

Now my question is whether we should send proof of funds along with police certificate or not. I do not want to see after few months, MCH comes back and asks for Proof of Funds.

Please give your suggestions.

Dear Brother,

My understanding is very clear that you should submit only that document/information what is requested otherwise you may confuse them with extra information and it can create a negative impact for eg. that they may think that you are trying to be over smart or you want to use your money after submitting the fresh POF….
It can bring more headache for you and can delay your case further due to one stupid mistake …and then there is chance they may ask again POF before issuance of Visa if you submit POF now without their request…

So in simple words just send PCC from UK and keep the funds in your account till you get your Visa in hand and then also you need the POF at the time of landing….

Wassalam,
SMSH

Congratulations dear!!!!
When did u sent the pcc and pof, and when did u send enquiry, I also sent them pcc and pof on 9th November, they sent me to fill the spouce data only, iam wondering to send them an enquiry....
Thanks!
I was asked for POF & PCC on 23.9.13 & I sent those docs in 1st week of October 2013.
Try your luck! This may trigger something if due otherwise expect routine reply of background checks.
For comparisons & trend of VOs to send MR, consult SMSH's excel sheet.

Dear Fellow,

I need few information regarding my landing. I will land first and my family will follow me in next couple of months. I want to know that do I need to take the COPR for my family or they will bring it with them later on. your feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks


No, you are required to carry your own COPR only and dont even make a mistake to carry your family's COPR with you as each person is required to sign it on the airport in front of an immigration officer. Secondly, here in Canada, there will be no need of the family's COPR because it is not considered valid unless signed at 3 places. Yes, for you can keep photocopies for your record keeping purposes. Finally, one very very important point for all the people who are in the que and will Insha Allah come here sooner or later is that take very good care of your COPR when you land here because in the initial days, they use it as the "only proof" to judge that you are a new immigrant while it is even used till your retirement for pensions and other purposes so COPR is very important throughout your life in Canada. Best of luck all and plus one for me!

Among all the negativity which surrounds us regarding our decision to call Canada as our permanent home, this post from Rossei may provide some solace. Since many of us might not be visiting “Settlement Issues” segment of this website I thought of reproducing it here.

Canada ranks

#6 out of 159 in State of World Liberty Index, 2013 [economic and personal freedom], survey by the State of World Liberty Project
#8 out of 167 in Democracy Index, 2012 [electoral process and pluralism, civil liberties, functioning of government, political participation, and political culture], survey by the Economist
#8 out of 162 in Global Peace Index (GPI), 2013 [crime rate, terrorism/violence, relation with neighboring nations, local refugees, political status], survey by Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP)
#9 out of 177 in Corruption Perceptions Index, 2013, survey by Transparency International
#11 out of 187 in Human Development Index (HDI), 2013 [life expectancy, education, and income indices], survey by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
#14 out of 148 in Global Competitiveness Report, 2013-14 [infrastructure, economic environment, health, education/training, labour/financial market efficiency, business, innovation/technology, market size], survey by World Economic Forum
#14 out of 111 in Worldwide Quality-of-Life Index, 2005 [GDP, health, political stability-security, personal/community life, job security, equality], survey by the Economist
#3 among 34 member countries in Better Life Index, 2013 [income, housing, jobs, community, education, environment, civic engagement, health, life satisfaction, safety and work-life balance], survey by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
#19 out of 183 in Ease of Doing Business, 2013, survey by World Bank
#20 out of 179 in Press Freedom Index, 2013, survey by Reporters without Borders
#24 out of 178 in Environmental Performance Index, 2014 [environmental disease, air/water pollution, biodiversity, natural resources, climate change], survey by Yale University

NB: I'm aware that these ranking may not reflect a true picture from a new immigrant's perspective and many will oppose/ignore. Yet you may find some ground where Canada stands internationally.
