Hey guys congrats to all!!! Quick question regarding proof of funds. I am from trinidad where we do not use Canadian currency. I have the required amount in my bank account but it is not in canadian dollars. Is that a problem???

You can have your account in valuable Trini dollars. What they do is comparing against Exchange rate. As that part is a bit volatile, you need to add in your calculation certain amount of safety for those Exchange rate changes.
So you need app. 10 to 15% more on your account (when calculated), then required.

if you have both languages and your first language is French, you can still get PT NOI from Ontario. Otherwise your chance for that is 0%.

Hi, my score is 417.

1) Do you think I have chances to be nominated by Ontario since their benchmark is over 400.
2) what other program do you suggest to me considering my score?
PS: my score will go down to 412 in the first week May owing to birthday.
Thanks in advance for your support

Yes you have that chance. As long as you fullfill all other criteria (education level, language level, work experience in last 5 years).

At the moment it looks, that they have distributed first batch of of NOI for human capital.
Those that understood the situation fast got their NOI (they did recreate their EE in order to be visible for Ontario again - as Ontario just went through fresh EE in order to send out NOI).

Those that were passive did not get much. (or were just a bit unlucky).
So you need to check the situation frequently and if you see any new NOI appearing, it is time to recreate your account (just do not mix it up with French stream, as they do receive NOI all the time).

Hey Navin, TTD is fine... some one the banks would even convert and include TTD and CAD. Just ensure you are above the minimum requirement (take into consideration currency fluctuation as Vensak mentioned.

Hi guys,

I just got ITA today. However, my ITA is under PNP. I was nominated by BC before and got 600 points.

After got ITA, I was asked to fill in the registration form again.

For the questions, "how much money I will bring to canada?" How do I answer this questions, I know that CEC candidate is not required and can put any number. Since my ITA is under PNP, how much money should I put?
