@Ebho, please search this thread for samples of gift deeds...get your relatives to sign off....make sure you submit before the 22nd otherwise yawa fit gas

You can back up your GTB letter and statement with a nice LOE . ..

Good Evening House.

Congrats to all on their journey so far. Please I need advice on how to go about this POF. Here's a brief history.

The first month we had 1/3 of the total funds, while in the second month we had the full fund as stated for a family of 4 which we have maintained till date.

Today we were at the Bank(GTB) to get the CIC letter but they said they don't give CIC letter rather we got a reference letter stating our account numbers, the day it was opened without reflecting the current and average balance all on their letter head and also account statement for the account we are presenting.

Now the first question can we used this as POF and also do we need to explain the influx of money between the first and second month. Although this funds came from relatives how do we explain this.

Secondly the primary applicant birthday is July 22nd and if we do not submit before then we will loss some marks which will take us below the ITA Score. But we still have 42 days to submit as reflected on our form and there is a clause about birthday not affecting ITA. What do you advice in this situation.

Guys a brother need the best way to solve this issue.

Thanks.

OK Thanks

Either get a friend or relative with an international card to help out and you pay naira or open a Dorm acct in Nigeria, buy dollars from black market and load of your card.

In my case, got someone to fund my BoA account and I paid her in Naira. It's what she does. She also helps people make international payments I believe...

Hello house.

Please I need to know the best way to pay for eAPR our total charge is 2800CAD.

Thanks

Ambidextrause:
You can add a margin of 8 to 10% of the total funds and use oanda.com as reference for the rates.

Good Afternoon House.

Please I know this has been answered somewhere in this forum but I cannot find it.We are about submitting eAPR form but I am not okay with the disturbing fluctuation in exchange rate. How is this done, we are a family of 4 already has the POF ready but the exchange rate eats into the POF.
When I submit the form how is the POF estimated.

Yes this is another part I need to be cleared about

esosa4real:
Hi @ revlane how far ur app? I wanted to inquire about ur Adr because I am tryna figure out something.

Did cIC in ur aDR mention that you didn't fill your form properly (i.e if you left gaps or not)? I know some people have got such special requests, was this your case?

Or was the request just a Schedule A document request with no mention of such?

I looked at your shot screen and didn't find any gaps. Because for me, my jobs ended on a last day of the month and I resumed anoda the following day, so no overlap....

I just want to be sure because I don't see any gaps here. Let me know how far pls.
Thanks

ALL THE BEST

From CIC page

Exemption to section A11.2: candidates whose birthday occurs after they receive an ITA
An applicant may have a birthday after they receive an ITA but before they submit their e-APR. Their change in age may lower their CRS score below the lowest score in the round of invitations. It may also result in the applicant no longer meeting the minimum requirements of the FSWC and, consequently, no longer meeting the MEC, resulting in a refusal based on section A11.2.

When a change in age results in the candidate no longer meeting the MEC or having their recalculated CRS points score fall below the lowest points score in that round of invitations, officers should consider applying the public policy to exempt applicants for permanent residence from certain age-based requirements between invitation to apply and application, based on section A25.2. This consideration can result in an exemption from the refusal of an application under section A11.2.

This public policy also grants an exemption to applicants who may be refused for failing to meet FSWC program requirements when their birthday occurs between the ITA and e-APR.

GrandCommander:
Not necessarily, only info that impacts your score including age(which has a special exemption) must be maintained. All others can be changed with a LOE. Honest mistakes are bound to occur.

Please share link from CIC regarding this information.

Blingyrie:
Exchange rate is locked as at the day the app is submitted; cic does not apply fluctuating rates thereafter

Greeting House

Hello All,

University of Benin (Uniben) sent my spouse Transcript to WES. WES is requesting for institution confirmation.

Who knows how Uniben carry out confirmation to WES. Is it by hard copy mail or they use email to respond to WES.

I need the information so that I can follow up. Will appreciate any assistance.

Thank you.

Gtb doesn't allow this I have tried.

Jesuba:
You can also apply to the bank to add you and make it a joint account with your spouse if he/she doesn't mind.

Copied from Canada Visa

Visa Office :
Dear Sir/Madam,
This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the Immigration Section of the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.
Acceptable proof of funds are:
-bank accounts in your name or the name of your accompanying spouse/common-law partner;
-cashable investments in your name or the name of your accompanying spouse/common-law partner;
-cashable fixed deposits in your name of the name of your accompanying spouse/common-law partner.
Not acceptable are:
-bank accounts in someone else's name;
-bank accounts which are joint in your name and someone else (other than your accompanying spouse/common-law partner);
-bank accounts in the name of your spouse who is not accompanying you to Canada ;
-property valuations;
-vehicle valuations;
-jewellery valuations.
You are not required to carry your funds in cash when you arrive in Canada. You are, however, required to show documentary evidence that you have the funds available (in bank accounts or cashable investments), and that they can be transferred to Canada.
A port of entry officer in Canada may seek to confirm these funds before granting you permanent residence along with your dependants.

Thanks Boss13

Boss13:
Get the 6 month statement of account, a covering letter from your Bank in their template and submit the damn thing as P.A. And if you are a fidgeting type, just explain using LOE that your spouse is submitting their account as POF.

Who should submit this document - YOU The Primary Applicant. Your spouse cannot submit this, your spouse is not even the one applying.

It is better your spouse submit their account, which shows more transparency, than them transferring the money to you.

Thanks Vcole for this information but in a case of the spouse using his account as POF how best do you think we can go about it?

vcole:
Below is a screenshot of the IRCC's latest guideline for POF as regards eAPR applications submitted from January 2016 and beyond. Please let ALL persons take note of what it says. I am quite uncomfortable with the recent notion that your required funds can be in a name other than yours. While it may be "acceptable" for the pof to be in a spouse's account, that is a discretionary decision that the VO chooses to take. It is NOT the guideline.

Also find below the IRCC guideline for lock in date for age. Someone brought this up earlier and it may not have been noted by ITA hopefuls and recipients. Worthy of mention is that your age is locked in at eAPR SUBMISSION and not ITA receipt. So if you have a birthday after receiving ITA and before eAPR submission, you would lose 5 points for age and should re-calculate your CRS to be sure it doesn't fall below the cut off for your draw before submission.

Thanks

I sent you a mail.

Since replied ur pm

Hello Eseosa,

POST ITA PROCESS

For those who are waiting for ITA, check the following and prepare the necessary documents.

After you receive ITA, once you log in to your Express Entry profile, you will have two buttons
- Continue Application
- Decline Invitation

Note: You will have 60 days to submit your PR application electronically with all supporting documents. 60 days start from the day you get ITA, if you feel that you will not be able to arrange all the documents in 60 days, you can decline the ITA anytime before the expiry of 60 days and you will be back in the pool. In case you decline your ITA, then you will be eligible to be invited again provided you meet the CRS cut-off requirement.

Once you click Continue Application, you will be taken to pages similar to your Express Entry forms that you filled up. This page would have all the information carried forward from your Express Entry profile and additionally you also need to fill up Address History, Personal History and Travel History for each member listed in the application.

DOCUMENT CHECKLIST

Post completion of each section, the system would generate a personal document checklist based on the information submitted by you in the previous pages. A sample document checklist for a family of two (FSW) without any Canadian relatives would look like something below.

Supporting Documents for Primary Applicant

FEE PAYMENT

Once you have uploaded the documents, you have the option to make payment and submit your eAPR. Post ITA after clicking Continue, you will be asked whether you want to pay RPRF upfront, in case you have mentioned Yes and later want to modify it, you can do so by going to Modify Family Information which you can find in the menu bar.

Permanent Resident Application Fee: CAD 550 per applicant
Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF): CAD 490 per applicant

You can make payment using credit card and debit cards provided international transactions are allowed on your card. Contact your bank to check the same. MasterCard, Visa and Amex cards are accepted. Ensure that your bank has not put any transaction limit, contact your bank before using your card for payment. In case you do not have suffcient balance or credit limit, you can use your family member's or friend's card as CIC has no restriction on the same.

You will get Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) immediately after you make the payment.

THINGS TO NOTE

Police Certificate - If you already have nomination do not wait for ITA, apply for police certificate soon. For countries that you have already left, in case you do not have the police certificate, initiate the process for the same as well as some countries take time to issue you a police certificate.

Medicals - CIC has a list of empaneled clinics/hospitals where you need to get medical tests done. Check this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx. The following basic tests and checks are carried out (If you have had any or have any medical conditions, you need to let them know and also carry any medical records that you have)
1. Blood
2. Urine
3. Chest X-Ray
4. Eye Sight
5. Blood Pressure
6. Height/Weight
7. Physical examination by physician

You will not be given the results of the tests, the clinic will upload it directly to CIC. You will be given an Acknowledgement Form which you need to upload as proof of medical exam. Please ensure all the information on the Acknowledgment Form is correct as per passport and that the category on your medicals is mentioned as Non-EDE/Worker. If you find any discrepancy, get it corrected then and there itself and get an updated Acknowledgement Form.

Digital Photo - The final frame size of the photo should be at least 35mm x 45mm. The photograph must show a full front view of the head and tops of shoulders. The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31mm and 36mm. The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540. The final size of the image should not be less than 60KB. The file should be submitted in JPEG format.

Reference Letter - For previous employers, the letter obtained after you have left is good enough, unless and until you want to get a fresh letter or want to get the letter updated. For current employer as a rule of the thumb, get a fresh letter if the previous one which you got is older than 6 months. For other questions related to reference letter check this thread http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/nail-the-challenge-of-getting-reference-letter-from-current-employer-t397796.0.html

ECA, IELTS - There is no separate placeholder for IELTS and WES. So you can upload IELTS and WES along with educational documents.

Proof of Funds (POF) - Get latest and updated POF. Ensure you cover as much as information requested by CIC in the Bank Letter/Bank Certificate.

Letter of Explanation(LOE) - Though this is an optional document, please use it to your advantage to explain anything you feel the officer should know or consider while assessing your application.

Provincial Nominees(PNP) - If you are a provincial nominee would suggest you to submit copy of nominaton certificate and Schedule 4 (IMM0008_4E) upfront along with LOE. Though these are not asked for when submitting eAPR, later you will be requested to submit Schedule 4.

Statutory Questions - In case you answer 'Yes' to any Statutory Questions, then explain the reason for the same in LOE and also submit Schedule A (IMM5669E) along with LOE. Though Schedule A is not asked for when submitting eAPR, later you will be requested to submit Schedule A.

Document Size & File Format - All documents should be uploaded as PDF not more than 4MB, except for digital photo which should be in JPEG format and not less than 60KB. For each placeholder, it should be one PDF. If you have multiple pages, merge them into one PDF for each placeholder. If the file size exceeds 4MB, scan the documents with scanner settings at 100 dpi or less but ensure that the files are legible. You can also use online tools like Small PDF to compress, merge and split PDFs etc (https://smallpdf.com/).

Help/Instructions - If you have any doubt about the documents that needs to be uploaded, check the help, blue button (Instructions) next to the Upload File button

Boss I sent you a private message I need guidelines on this POF issue.

Boss13:
Yes I advocate more for POST-ITA thread because this is the beginning of the application and actually the beginning of the process. It is the point where people make a lot of mistakes and requires diligence and sound judgement.

Hello House,

You guys are doing a very good work here putting out representative officers assistance. We got ITA from May 31, very grateful to God and the house.
Can we do our medical test along side submitting our form for PR?

Thanks

CRS Score is 415 has anyone seen this
