QUESTIONS PO:
1. Do I need to submit the above documents requested in part 1 even if I have submitted them in the MPNP Application? - Like Employment Reference Letters, Education credentials, Proof of Funds, Employment Reference Letters of Spouse? I believe na-submit na po namin ito sa MPNP stage and was not required sa PR paper based application.
2. Nakalagay po Upfront medical - sa pagkakaalam ko po kasi Express Entry lang ang Upfront Medical. Should I proceed doing the medical or wait further?
3. RPRF - This one magagawa ko na po.
4. Updated Schedule A Background Declaration and Additional family Info.
5. Or itong letter na ito po ba ay just informing me na my file has been transferred as stated on their 1st sentence?
Please help po... di ko alam next step na dapat ko gawin... Nalilito po ako. Currently I received my AOR May 1st and waiting for MR at RPRF. I know stated po dito yun kaso how about po yung mga hinihingi pa na iba? Also,upfront Medical - is this applicable to a PR Application - Paper Based?
Malaking tulong po ang pagsagot nyo.
Thank you po in advance.
