>>>What about After nomination for July/August Applicants <<<

[petta]

So what I did understand that we need those just as a very high Level
1)All Work experience ,Education ,Lanaguage ,Relatives in Canada ,personal,family related documents used in Ontario's nomination
2)PCC in all countries that u lived for more than 6 months in
3)Medical for yourself and all your family members
4)Forms(That I really do not know anything about in the moment )
5)Marriage Certificate in English
6)Fresh and new POF with statements fro all your credit cards

Senior Please add tricks and more details as per your experience ,also please highlight which forms we need to add and in which stage as this is a little bit confusing area ...also what if PCC is issues in local language ..can this be translated normally (As it contains fingerprints ,etc...)?

" 6)Fresh and new POF with statements for all your credit cards "

Do we really need to provide credit card statements ?

My required funds are kept in a bank account which doesn't have any credit card linked to it.

But I have credit cards with another bank and have some outstanding amount and also am keeping a steady payment to it.

You summarize almost everything. For Medicals I am sharing my own experience in steps.

1- First of all go to the following portal and look for an approved Medical center in your country of stay to get IRCC Medical Exam.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx

2- You have to take appointment and do it at least a week before you are planning to get Medicals as some Medical centers are too much busy to cater the IRCC Medicals.

3- Fee and Mode of Payment is different for Every country. In my case they took only CASH. Better to check on phone whether they accepts cards or not.

4- All Adults as well as kids have to go through medicals.
- Kids under 5 years will go through only Physical Examination by doctor.
- If Child is more then 5 years, Urine analysis is done too in addition to Physical examination.

5- For Adults following tests are done
- Physical examination by doctor. (Including height , weight & BP)
- Chest X-Ray
- Blood testing includes HIV & Syphilis test only.
- Urine analysis

6- Depending on the Medical Center, they will give you eMedical slip or Manual form in case center is not online connected. I have received emedical slip after 3 working days when it was uploaded to IRCC.

7- Make sure to check "Non- EDE Worker" type is mentioned on the form which is for upfront medical examination.

8- If you have children less then 5 years, take a white background passport size photograph of your kids. Check with your medical center for details as I believe it would be different for emedical and Manual one.

9- If your doctor do not call you until the day of emedical form delivery, it means your medicals are PASSED. In case of any problem you will get a call from Medical center for further investigations.

10- If you have any Tattoos or any medical conditions you might have to go through extra medical investigations.

Thanks @anwar01

This is really helpful...

Although, every candidate will be provided with personalised checklist still I want to emphasise on doing few things that will make your and immigration officer life much easier.

1) Once you get Nomination and scores increased by 600 it is confirmed that you will receive ITA in next draw. Therefore, you should apply for Upfront Medical and PCC immediately.

I always suggest applicants to wait for 2-3 working days after Medical is done before applying. The reason is that if you have some problems in Medical results it can be sorted out through panel advise before applying.

PCC may take time and sometimes there are issues with it such as not being according to CIC requirements.

2) I have seen many candidates have confusing or complicated personal history or travel history that is main reason for delay.

The thing we did with some successful applicants was suggesting them to create 2 different tables in MS Word. One with the Name of Address History and Second with the name of Personal Record since 18th Birthday.

Address History should include your address, Status in that country, Duration of stay, Purpose of stay, and Contact details.

This will organise details Analyst are looking for and will make there work easy. It will be a summary of Address and Travel History. In addition, this will cover main components of Schedule A that many applicants are asked for as an additional information.

Personal Record will help Analyst understand that what Activities you were performing since your 18th Birthday such as studying Full or Part Time, Working or Unemployed.

This should include Activity, Location, Duration, Full or Part Time.

Both of these table will be attached in Appendix of your LOE.

I also prefer additional Table in Appendix summarising list of documents attached under each of the heading of personalised checklist.

It may seems extra work but this has really helped speed up application process.

Real Life Example

I have seen two different applicants one visited 2 countries and second visited 27 countries.

One with 27 visits mentioned each address he lived in even for one day (address of hotel) and the second one just filled the application and mentioned 2 countries.

The second applicant got PPR within 2 months while the second got in 7 months. Both have same AOR dates and stream.

Talking to one of the expert I got information that Analyst wants to know complete background of an applicant. Therefore, those candidate providing complete and organised applications will be processed first.

Final Note for this post:

I would suggest every applicant to start saving their travel/address history in Excel Sheet. I have personally saved the record of address and contact details of every country I visited ever in my life.

This will help you during PR application and even more during citizenship application in future.

Thank You @BillHyatt

Keep contributing.. really a great help ..

Accepted ITA Guys ,and now I will be focusing on
1)PCC in my home country (started and to be received next week,then will start its translation during the same week)
2)Medical>>>reserved by middle of next week

Hope I can finalize both while being on Vacation in my home country ...

Now
A)I started also filling my application ...details like Direct family members that r not in the application ,Eye color ,height and these kind of things ..are they really that important ?

B)Another thing I have an option in my home country to have an official document from MOI with full entry and exit details from and to the country ,but I think its for maximum 10 previous years ...is it enough for travel proof section ?

C)I will renew my passport next week ,I will send a notification to Ontario of course regarding that ...However for my PR application is it enough to update info. on the application or i have to send a specific mail to IRCC? which mail to use in this case?

@anwar01 @BillHyatt

What r your thoughts on the above ? do you have option in point 2 in ur countries also ?
Another thing I was discussing with Anwar but could not reach a conclusion ?Do IRCC send additional document Requests also like OINP ? if not and for any reason ur application is rejected and u still have a valid nomination ...will u will get selected also in the next draw or ur profile will be idle for a while or u need to recreate an EE profile and restart the process but with enough points because of ur valid nomination?

 

[MEB]

@BillHyatt @iamxty
Please let me know about my old passport which was expired back in 2014. Do I need to submit it along with new passport? I had traveled on that passport for 5 or 6 times to different countries.

Bro ..its not mandatory if its not related to ur PoF account I think ,but its better to declare all ur financially related ties if feasible ...

For A these details are must and you should them. If not written they will either send you Sch A to fill later on or simply reject application as incomplete.

For B you only need to tell history for last 10 years.

For C If your passport is renewed before e-APR then you can change details before application and write to OINP plus a LOE. Otherwise, you will have to fill web form and attach documents.

IRCC only send additional information request if it is not included and it was not mandatory to include during application. In addition, they request for documents if they need more evidence to prove certain claims made in application.

Other than that IRCC rejects application declaring it incomplete.

Your Nomination will remain valid until the Expiry Date mentioned in Nomination Certificate.

Your profile will be sent to pool for next draw unless rejection wasn't due to incomplete application. The next process and options are written in the rejection letter.

I hope this will help.

Thanks Bill for detailed feedback ..so
1)I will wait for the new passport issuance as i will not submit my application before September due to the fact that I must get a PCC for my wife in the country of residence ...as we are currently in a vacation in our home country
That will allow me to avoid submitting change requests to IRCC ..and will only send a mail to OINP,correct ?

2)Also as long as the IRCC rejection is caused by incomplete application ,and as they provide associated reasons... I just have to wait for another draw and submit missing proof /document ?

B)Another thing I have an option in my home country to have an official document from MOI with full entry and exit details from and to the country ,but I think its for maximum 10 previous years ...is it enough for travel proof section ? You do not need need any document proof for your travel history of last 10 years. Just mention it in your Travel history date wise, that is enough.

C)I will renew my passport next week ,I will send a notification to Ontario of course regarding that ...However for my PR application is it enough to update info. on the application or i have to send a specific mail to IRCC? which mail to use in this case?

Before submitting eAPR you can change all the information in that, so change it before submitting.

You need to provide following information only.

The applicant should provide an official letter(s) from one or more financial institutions that lists all current bank and investment accounts as well as outstanding debts, such as credit card debts and loans.

• o The letter(s) must be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution and must include the applicant’s name, the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and email address), the account numbers, the date each account was opened and the current balance of each account as well as the average balance for the past six months.

Most banks do not give such kind of letters so you can attach as many documents to support your POF.

 

[pearlberry]

If that's the case then it'll be sensible to attach a Police Report for the missing passport along with an LOE to explain all the travels he has done.

okay.
Thank you.

@BillHyatt
Very sorry to keep asking you ,but again there is one case that this very confusing to me in the PCC process ... .although I tried to read the official process several times
Now I am residing in Country A(no issue will issue a PCC normally from there that must be max 6 months old by the time of eAPR )....yet my Home country is B.
A and B have got political tensions nowadays .. Country B closed its embassy in country A...I cannot issue a PCC remotely for country B from country A, and as i am currently on vacation in country B..I submitted associated request for the PCC while being in Country B.

Yet as PCC for non residing country must be issued after you left such country ,,,would issuing it it while being on vacation be an issue ? or simply because of the political issues (to be explained in LOE) and the fact that I am just on vacation in my home country but not residing there on permanent basis ...the case is normal and I can go on with my methodology?

 

[BillHyatt]

It is completely fine to request for PCC while on tour to home country. In your case just attach a LOE along with PCC and it will be fine.

The rule of PCC issued after you left apply to countries other than Home Country.

I hope this will help.

Hey Guys,

Thanks a lot for your help by providing this valuable information.

I just got my OINP nomination this week, then the ITA and I have some questions for the experts especially @BillHyatt,

1- At the PROOF OF FUND, shall I mention the amount in how much as CAD or leave it with the local currency?

2- If I want to upload a file with a lot of pages and by using the lowest resolution but still it exceeds the 4 MB / or with using the lowest resolution the pdf is not clear, what is the solution?

3- Shall I have to upload all the supporting documents as I did with the OINP (ex: old passports), and if so I think they will just require the biographical page, can I upload the whole passport in this section?

4- During filling up the cic application, there is the question of the activities of the last 10 years, at this period there was an overlap between getting my master and working as teaching assistant, so shall I put each activity individually (when did it start and end) even there is an overlap between them? / and for the unemployed periods, at the EMPLOYER/SCHOOL/FACILITY tab, I have to mention NOT APPLICABLE?

5- During scanning the required documents, for the translated ones they have a copy form the original document, shall I upload with them the original document itself (ex: the marriage certificate)?

thanks in advance,
