Well said. Your friend was fortunate; the letter was done for him "codedly".

I called my PFA this morning and asked if they could write such letter on my behalf. The agent paused to confirm and gave me feedback that they don't write such letters.

However, she told me that I can have access to 25% of pension contributions 4 months after leaving my job even if I have relocated abroad.

My take: Apparently, RSA may not be used as the primary POF but probably as a support since CIC would require funds that are unencumbered.

Anyone who intends to use it as additional POF MAY get: RSA statement of account; copy of the Pension Reform Act and asterisked clearly where it was stated that an individual has access to it 4 months after leaving current job and get it notarized supporting it with a brief explanation of how he can have access to the fund once PR is attained. Just my opinion!

greetings:


Lucky you, I had 7.5, 8.5, 7.5 and 7. Wish I could steal the .5 in reading to listening. Lost a lot of points because of that now. I suggest you think about ICAS though, I think they are faster, have been on WES since May, they too delay.

Anybody know of other means of migrating. I don't think EE will favour me with this high draws. Provincial nomination is quite cumbersome and long, any ideas which ones might open again this year?

ANBAKO:


You have done well. Exactly what I did when I did mine in 2014 less the notarization..
Please note that I did not use RSA as a the only POF but used with others like bank statement and Shares

Good luck!

tundechange:


Nice results, congrats. Could you advise me on the materials you used to study?

Thanks

gonon:
Hi, thanks. Honestly, I didn't spend much time practicing but I would advice you to use the Internet. I prepared for mine using teachings from YouTube and other IELTS blogs. But you can also look for other materials sha.....

Good day all. Please can an express entry profile jeopardize chances of getting a visit visa? Hope they won't think one wants to escape if one gets the visit visa. Your ideas and suggestions will be appreciated.

irondome:


No

Creating a profile ain't same as submitting a visa application. Even if you have submitted an application, that should also not be a problem as long as your visit visa application is not goofy

yinyinola:
Thank you for shedding light on it. By goofy am guessing you mean bogus or not truthful in the visit visa application right?

after getting your PR, how long can you stay before you travel , what is landing , how does one find accommodation before going, with my ACCA , do I need to write thier professional exam there
Thank you

ANBAKO:


thanks.what is fori or airbnb

On getting confirmation of permanent residence (COPR), you are issued a visa that expires exactly 1year after your medical examination date. You must land before this date.

You can make acquaintance, there are fori or you can use Airbnb which is what I used when I did my landing.

As per professional exams, I don't know much....again join one of the numerous fori and Whatsapp group....

Goodluck!!!

Good day all,

Kindly help me if u knw the way out. Please I am new here

I guess I hv made a serious blunder. I need your advice as you know these processes and calculations can be confusing. Last year, I was trying to apply for express entry to canada using an agent(canreach) in canada. I have then paid $1500. I gave them all my details including my ielts and transcript believing that they have started processing only for them to inform me last week that they are waiting for my eca report from WES which I got furious about because they never told me that I will be the one to apply to wes after I have sent my scanned transcript to them and also demanding additional $500 because of nova Scotia skilled worker.

My question is,

1. Is it something I can do my self?

2. Can anyone help me correctly calculate my possible total point for Federal Skilled Worker program and if I have a chance of being selected?

3. What is the overall and minimum benchmark for Federal Skill Worker Program

4. If am to go ahead with wes, how can I get a credit card to pay in Canadian dollars

Personal details:
Age: 32
Marital status: Single
Education: Bsc Computer Science
Ielts score: Listening - 6.0; Reading - 6.0; Writing - 7.0; Speaking - 7.0
Work experience: 6
I don't have an arranged job and no relative there


Thank you

Honestly he was indeed very lucky.Actually it wasn't on this EE regime he got his PR.It was the FSWP before EE launch
I don't speculate what I don't know about.Your assertion about access to 25% of the money 4 months after leaving job is quite correct and RCIC know that very well, but then don't underestimate the power of an immigration attorney remember I said my friend engaged the service of an attorney who I guess might have backed up my friends SOA,RSA claims with legal papers just my guess tho.

When the authorities want to verify your claims they don't go writing or calling the entire PFA or employer for instance they contact the HOD whose contact details you gave them on the reference letter for verification purpose.such scenario could have played out in my friend's case
maybe the PPC director who prepared the letter for him was contacted and he simply affirm it

What works for one person may not work for another person just like you highlighted that your were refused by your pension custodian.

it worked for[b] Anbako[/b] maybe his confirmation will make those in doubt believe.

Evidence of RSA/Pension fund alone can never and will never be a primary and satisfactory way of showing POF.

Thank you

Good morning pals. I have a question that has been bugging my kind and need your kind assistance to clarify. On simulating my CRS score using the CRS calculator tool on CIC website, I discovered I would get only 430 points which is below the 450benchmark for EE without PNP. I have only a B.Sc and 5years work experience in manufacturing management. I have a diploma in Brewing certificate from the institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD) UK. If this diploma can be evaluated I can fill in 2 or more certificates in the CRS Calculator and my score will leap to 462. I am moving with my spouse and 1 kid and POF is already sorted out.

My question is can my IBD diploma be evaluated and which of the ECA bodies do you think will do this right.

Cc dupyshoo irondome bigfido

ANBAKO:


You can apply right away. If there is any doubt, they will ask for another POF at the appropriate time.
Although it may raise a suspicion, so be ready to answer any query from them.
Just get your bank statement and that should be good.

Fusion23:
woow 488 is the new crs cut off ..am on 475 since over a month ..i hope it drops soon , anyways am patient.

please i need clarity on the proof of funds ..i was given 2.5m by my mum 2 months ago ..it has been in my account since then and it can be there for even the next two year..so my question is should i wait 6 months before applying or i can apply with that ..its a savings account.

deking:
Hello House,

I am new to this stuff and recently only just began the processing.

I will like to find out if I can send copies of my transcripts to WES myself as I have the copies made when I request it for a different purpose sometimes back. I also would want to go through the stress of running after my previous schools for the transcripts.

Thank you in advance for your help.

hartson:
Sorry I didn't reply your query immediately I have been very busy @ work.In a nutshell,That is one top secret the consultants or lawyers won't tell you.RSA is listed among the requirements to show as evidence of fund therefore if you must use your pension fund then provide statement of account when you opened it with detail contributory history,have your PFA write a backup letter that it can be withdrawn at anytime.My friend's immigration lawyer used it and it worked.He is in Canada enjoying his life.Thank you

Have you considered Australia and New Zealand? While not giving up on your Canadian dream, you can take a look at the immigration programmes of these countries as "back-up" plans.
