London VO have written me requesting for documents update (proof of fund and a detailed explanation of how you will become economically established).
Can you guys please guide me on what to include in the explanation? How long should it be and what to include and what not to include?
I just wondered why this update without MR & RPRF - its also surprising why the update is coming this late.
best to all of us.

Hi,
I had the same request, but in addition they asked me for RPRF, not sure why? Most applications that are processed via London are being asked for additional information. I wrote 5 pages in a letter format and enclosed bank statements and other financial documentation. My package was received in London on the 8th April. The statement of economic establishment is really quite straight forward, just write a letter and start by saying why you are coming to Canada, how much finances you have etc (Attach proof) The more the better, they need to know that you will be able to support your self when you get there.
Talk about your qualifications and if you are ready to work as soon as you land, if not what steps you are taking to ensure you will be able to work.
Talk about who you know in Canada, what employers you have been in contact with and what type of jobs you are interested in.
Tell them about any relatives you have in Canada and about how long they have been there and what they are going to do for you when you arrive.
Talk about your job prospects and whether there is a shortage of people with your skill sets and any evidence you have of the province that you are moving to is advertising for people like you. How long you think it will take you to get a job? do you know anyone from your country with the same skill sets that has successfully settled.
Talk about your housing needs and what you have done to ensure you have a roof over your head when you arrive and that you have people to help you settle.
Really stress the point that you will make an immediate economic contribution to the Canadian economy and why do you think you will, taxes, bringing new skills, new cultures etc.
You just have to sell your self and show that you have done lots of research on your profession, place you intend to live, housing, jobs & family.
Hope this helps
