Hey everyone, so I'm trying to complete my PR application after receiving my ITA, and I find some of the documents that are required from me to be somewhat weird.

-Proof of Relationship (with my aunt)
Why... I'm applying under CEC and this relationship is no use for me WHATSOEVER. It doesn't provide me with any points or put me at an advantage and it's quite annoying to prove as well... so WHY

-Proof of means of financial support
Again, why? I'm employed and that's clearly stated in my application. What the hell is "proof of means of financial support"? I'm supporting myself. I do have more than the $11k or whatever they're asking for but why is this necessary?

-Offer of employment
What is this at all? Did I make a mistake somewhere in my application? I'm already working and have been for more than a year. Why is it asking for an OFFER?

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your time.
1. Because you claimed that you have relative with Canadian citizenship or PR.

2. Because you put more then 0 under question of how much fund you will bring to Canada.

3. Because you claimed to have valid job offer.

Thanks for the response, the part I don't understand is what's the difference if I declared that I don't have a relative living in Canada? Pretty much nothing. I still would have received my ITA. Now I just have to do more work for absolutely no reason.

About the job offer, should I answer no to that question? I feel like I completed that part incorrectly.

Also about the job offer, do I still have to answer "Yes" if I'm already working? In that case I don't get to answer any questions about the NOC code of my work.

You can still change first one post-ITA won't make much difference. Just mention that in LOE.

if you have received 50 additional points for Valid job offer, then changing second would complicate things.

I haven't received 50 points for a job offer, but do I still need to answer "yes" to the question:

Does (name) have a job offer in Canada?
The offer must:
be for full-time and for at least one year
meet different requirements depending on type of job (i.e. some need apprenticeships and certification) and
be non-seasonal for Federal Skilled Workers.

current should be part of work history.

That doesn't count as having job offer.

Job offer is either supported by LMIA or LMIA exempt if you have ICT or NAFTA WP.

My question to Batman, does a CEC applicant put "0" for the Amount of money you will bring to Canada ? Or can he put any amount ?

both are valid option. Putting 0 won't ask you to provide POF document.

Put any amount den you will be required to upload something in POF document slot, you can however just upload simple LOE there saying you are invited under CEC and POF is not required.

I am CEC and I went with option 1.
