There isn't one.
You just have to score 60 in the SINP point assessment grid (which can be found here: http://publications.gov.sk.ca/documents/310/85142-SEE%20Guide%20(06-May-16).pdf), and have work experience in an in-demand NOC.

Hello forumers,

For those who submitted their EOI to NB, has anyone received ITA so far?
I sent my EOI last 8th July, but have not heard from them yet.

Hello,

I have a question. I have worked as a teaching and research assistant in a University in Canada for more than 2 years. Total amount of hours I have worked is 2084. I was a full time student while working. Now my question is, which option I should select in the employment history section related to work permit and LMIA? There are three options: 1) Work permit and LMIA not needed; 2) Work permit needed but LIMA is not needed; 3) Work permit and LMIA both are needed.

Thank you all in advance

Are you aware that work gained in Canada while studying full-time does not count towards your work experience for CEC ?

Do Fixed Deposits (which can be easily liquated) considered for proof of funds?

Yes.

Thanks. The minimum funds should be maintained for 6 months prior to profile creation or ITA?

Do Fixed Deposits (which can be easily liquated) considered for proof of funds?

Yes, Fixed Deposits in the primary applicant's name are considered as settlement funds. You will have to submit copies of FD Advices/Receipts stamped by the bank as proof.

Additionally, you also need a letter from your bank, commonly referred to as a Balance Certificate.

Thanks. The minimum funds should be maintained for 6 months prior to profile creation or ITA?

The reason for asking 6 months statement is to ensure that the applicant has not taken a loan borrowed money to show as POF. As long as you can prove that the funds did not originate from loan or borrowed money, it is not necessary to have the FD to be 6 months old.

Hi Stanlee,

What if the FDs are in Spouse's name (co-applicant's name)? Would that suffice provided an LOE?

Thanks

Preferably, it should be in the name of primary applicant. If the FDs are in the name of spouse who is a co-applicant in your PR application, then you need to submit a Self Declaration signed by your spouse. Spouse should state in the declaration that he/she is a co-applicant in your PR application and the FDs under question (provide details) are to be used for migration purposes for you as a family and he/she does not have any objection for the same. Also, submit an LOE for POF mentioning these details.

One more question. These FDs are in my wife's name and they are running from before our marriage. There are 4 FDs and combining them give me a substantial amount to contribute to the total funds. As I said they were done before my marriage by my wife's father and in the name of my wife so all the FDs are stated as: My Wife's name d/o My father in laws name. He already gave these FDs to us and told us that we can use them as and when we like. He doesn't have any objection.

Now, would a single letter from my wife suffice or I should get a letter from my father in law as well stating that he doesn't have any problem?

Or I should make some changes in FDs like adding my name or dissolve them and have that amount in my account.

I do not want to go for the second option as I have already talked to the banks and adding my name would require dissolving the FDs and start them fresh. We would loose interest and you know the taxation burdens we have in India to play with such a hefty amount.

As always, I am grateful to your advice.

Thanks

If they're more than 6 months old, you shouldn't need a letter from your father-in-law.

Yes they are:

Oldest from 2010.
Youngest from 2013.

It definitely shouldn't be a problem then.

The FDs can be in your wife's name, you need not liquidate it. As mentioned above, get the Bank Certificate/Balanace Certificate on bank letter head, copy of FD Advice/Receipts stamped by the bank, self declaration signed by your wife and a Letter of Explanation.

In my personal opinion, even if the above funds is sufficient to meet the fund requirements, would suggest you to show some contribution to POF in terms of your savings account statements, salary account statements as you are the primary applicant.

All the best!
