Hello Experts,

I have a question .I know I don't have to provide any proof of funds if I am applying under CEC (only the letter of explanation ), but I am going to apply with my spouse so in that case do I need to provide any settlement funds for her ? If yes then what would be the amount for that settlement funds ? She can provide her bank statement from back home by converting into CAD funds.But I was wondering whether I have to show funds for her or not ( under CEC).I am currently employed , not sure my pay stubs are enough for both of us.

Thanks in advance .

Regards

Hi,

No need since you are applying under CEC. Just submit a note that states that you are applying under CEC so you have not provided POF.

Hello Seniors,
I am filling PR application and having few questions.

1. In travel history "purpose of travel", My wife currently in Canada and homemaker. But she has "Open work permit". So do I need to mention "homemaker" or "work" in purpose of travel?
2. Same in USA she has "Work visa" but most of time she was homemaker and did job for 2-3 months. So what should I mention in purpose of travel here?
3. My son is just 18 months old, he can't speak any language. So I have mentioned "Neither" in communication language question. Does this suffice or I have to choose English?
4. Do we actually have to fill any type of forms like IMMXXXX while filling up PR application? or we have to fill all the detail in web page only?

Hi,

1 and 2) business/work
3) That's fine
4) No, fill all details in the Web page.

Regards

Do I need to pay 550$ right after I submit my application to the pool OR when I receive an ITA?

To be more accurate, you pay when you submit your PR application, post-ITA.

I have one question:
Will CIC require a proof for all the declared job experience in the past? I already have enough job experience to qualify but I also have some past self-employed job experience which I do not have proof for (it's around 10 years ago). I am wondering if I should take that off my profile to avoid a misunderstanding in case they asked for proof.

Remove it from employment history and enter it in the personal history (post-ITA ). No evidence is required for this section.

Regards

Hi,

No you don't. Just enter the name as it is on the current passport. There is no need to submit the old passports.You can just mention the difference between your current passport and academic certificates.

Regards

Thanks TanakaM.

Hi all, Pls help!

I just read a post on forum saying that work experience while being a full time student isn't counted. It is shaking my head. As I graduated from a country out of Canada. I had my full time job in 9/2012 while graduation date was 11/2012. TheRe is a overlap between my study and work. Would my experience for that job be counted? If not, if the experience from 12/2012 till the date I quit that job count?

Thanks a lot.

This is not a problem, foreign work experience while studying is counted.

All the best

Can I show my appointment letter? It has job responsibilities written?

does the letter have your salary details and working hours along with full roles and responsibilities? and do you get salary paid in bank account instead of cash ?
the trouble is i dont know what visa UAE issued you , if its proper work permit or not.

The letter has per hour salary but not complete hours written (it says variable hours). And I am on my husband's visa

Hi, you can give a letter from your colleague, if even that's not possible you can provide a notarized copy of self declared reference letter. But you need to back it up with official communications that your current employer isn't giving you the reference letter.

in my opinion its too risky - i have a decent idea about how things work in UAE, i would strongly advise against this for this particular case

well its too risky - from what i have learnt and seen i dont think you can claim points for this

without this experience, do you have 3 yrs+ full time proveable work experience in the last 5-10 years? if yes, you can use that information and apply for EE.
