Hey.

It's a very informative forum and after reading a lots of information, many things are understandable now...
I've a query in my mind, as I worked as administrative officer for more than five years while now I'm working as sales executive in Procter and Gamble dubai. So I can select administrative skill code?? Or only the one which I'm doing now??
Regards

You get points for 2 years of work if I am not wrong. So if you have worked in your current position for more than 2 years, then you can show that. And show the other 5 years experience too but may or may not claim points for that( depending whether the former is also on NOC list)

If you have worked for less than 2 years in your current job than claim points for the former job, if that is in the list too. It isn't not a requirement that the points claimed job is current or latest one

Hi,
How many months bank statement is sufficient to submit?

Hi,

6 months.

 

[TanakaM]

Hi Tanaka, for showing Fixed deposits as POF, do we need to get the FD certificate

I don't know much about them, but I think you need it.

Incorrect- you can show any experience as long as its a minimum of 1 year. Furthermore, you can experience for 2 NOC codes as well- I had used 0114 and 0125 for showcasing my 7 years of experience. Almost all the NOC codes are reflected in the present list as opposed to pre-2015.

Yes stand corrected. Its 1 year.
I know one can show experience in 2 different lists. But any has to be for 1 year at least, I was under the impression I told was 2 years.

And relevantly for Hira, the points claimed for need not be current or latest job.

Good evening everyone!!
I have a question regarding ECA. I have done one year post graduate certificate program from Toronto Canada in 2015. But due an emergency I had to come back to India in January 2016. I'm planning to apply under FSW program. My question is weather I have to get my ECA done for my Bachelor's degree?

Agreed, I checked and found both codes according to experience. Thanks

Well with that much amount of money, you won't have any problem whatsoever as far as POF are concerned (of course you will have to prove it that this is readily available to you)
This is the new list of POF requirements:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/eligibility/proof-funds.html

Coming to finances, this section is very confusing and poorly written.
"For example, you can't use equity on real property as proof of settlement funds."
What does equity on property mean? Loan or is it a typing error and they mean property or equity?

Also it remains ambiguous whether we need a fresh POF certificate at time of landing? If yes, same format as when we used during application of just a bank statement will do?

In the bottom section they give examples of sources of funds that cancan be seized if ignored is above 10.000 and we do not declare. Alright seize if you desire, but tell us clearly are stocks, property, treasury bills, debentures etc mentioned can be used as source of funds or not? And tell for both stages.

All in all so ambiguous and poorly written it leaves you totally confused.

Practically I have read memebers who have already landed that they do not even ask to see POF documents at time of landing. Just ask a figure sum which will be put in a form. But do they have a right to ask for a fresh document or not? I remember reading somewhere that we are expected to bring all the documents that we used at time of application post ITA. But no mention of any fresh POF.

Well you will of course have to carry your latest bank statement at the time of landing...so as to assure them that the money is still with you (in case you are showing your bank statement as POF)..in case of FDs, the doc provided at the time of e-APR is sufficient...!!
To answer your question on Equity on Property - It means that you did not actually sell your property at the time of declaration but have provided the value of your property through a valid valuation document from three different companies...Again it is CIC who decides to agree with your valuation document or not based on their checks on the same..!!

I am showing bank statements. I will also be carrying cash plus possibly travelers cheque or similar instrument. That will cover half my required funds. The other half will be my latest bank statement. I have few follow up questions if you can answer,

1- do we have to take a similar POF document as in the prescribed format of average 6 monthly statements, or just a normal bank statement?

Second. Is statement of equity shares valid as POF?

Third Do we have to show a minimum of twelve and half hundred C dollars or the amount we showed in our initial application.

Fourth I have planned a week holiday in a third country and I arrive in Canada via that country. So will they assume some money has been spent on that, how much to be on safe side?

Normal Bank statement at the time of landing is enough.
Second. Is statement of equity shares valid as POF?
No..as the value may rise and fall based on the market..it's not stable throughout..!!
Third Do we have to show a minimum of twelve and half hundred C dollars or the amount we showed in our initial application.
12.5 CAD...It should be the minimum amount required..It is obvious that if one is offering bank statement as POF and has around 15k CAD at the time of declaration, that money can decrease till the time you get your PR or land in Canada. The only point is, it should not go lower than the minimum based on family size.
Fourth I have planned a week holiday in a third country and I arrive in Canada via that country. So will they assume some money has been spent on that, how much to be on safe side?

Just the minimum amount as per your no. of family members..it doesn't matter how much have you spent before landing..as long as you have the minimum with proof they don't bother..!!

for your third attempt, you can definitely apply for revaluation since a half band in speaking can be increased. You can apply for revaluation within six weeks from the TRF received. the result is usually out in 2-4 weeks in India.

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

what do we need to show the experience we have gain? does the experience letter on the letterhead of the company will be enogh or do we need any government proof stating we paid tax?
