MrsBee:



Mine has been moved to London too. All we can do I wait now and hope for the best.

I was also moved to LVO,it seems they are now redistributing files to local visa offices.
I pray London visa office wakes up

Hi all,thanks for the good job here. I have a question that bothers on POF, not sure it had been covered in the past as I have been following keenly from page 200there about.

I have about 80% of my POF in a money market account specifically ARM asset management for the past 4 months. I am confused whether to withdraw the money and keep in my personal bank account in preparation for ITA. I really don't want to write LOE for POF since I have the money already though in a non-traditional fixed deposit.


Thanks

You do not need to move your money out from ARM. ARM is a financial institution and your investment with the company is valid and acceptable by CIC.

Hmm, this is a bit tricky. ARM Assets Management is a non bank financial institution but more specifically Asset managers. I.e. they invest your funds in equities. I read up somewhere, CIC states " Funds for POF" must be readily available" i.e. near liquid.

@Impish,Toyogirl,Patterns18,Wura27,....,

Thanks for your response. I will go for a "No" to that particular question as I have already answered "yes" to the question of being refused visa in the past.

Thanks.

That's the same thing we did in our application. Long time ago, we were refused UK visas and we responded yes to that but no to being refused entry. Once we went to Paris and we were delayed and asked several questions probably because of the refusal we had. If we had been refused entry, our answer to the refusal if entry question would then have been Yes.

Hello everyone and good morning.

DEEAJA, that's an inspiring story. Congratulations and I wish you the best as you get ready to relocate.

So I joined the WhatsApp group for September AOR on Canadavisa and people are starting to pass their medicals. Hopefully not too long wait for us anymore.

Good morning good people, please what does it mean when your background check changes from "not applicable" to " we are processing your background check....."
This is after medicals passed.

Means you are in IP2 and PPR is on the way. Congrats in advance

Thanks for this. I have researched on the subject with no clarity. Other financial professional should please advise. Really need to make the decision quickly.

May be a better option is to move the money into fixed deposit in a bank.

Thanks

Isnt it money market fund/ mutual funds ? Cos on CIC website you can use Mutual funds. Also assuming you wana liquidate a part of the funds, how soon will ARM credit your bank account?

Hi,

I think you've been appropriately advised that you can leave your funds in the ARM account. Another point you might wish to consider is, Pension accounts are accepted to beef up POF, if these accounts can be used, then why won't an investment account be accepted?

Moreover, T-bills is also an investment and your money is not even with the bank but the FG. If T-bills certificate is acceptable, why not that from ARM?

See post from gustalnov below and a couple of responses confirming your ARM account can be used. To relieve your worries, Mummyjaygirls has her COPR. I must however say I do not know what portion she used.

gustalnov:
Hello,

I have been able to enter my profile. Now I am gathering funds for proof of funds.

Has anyone gotten a letter from a mutual funds company like ARM or Stanbic and successfully presented it as proof of funds for PPR application? I need help with this? How do I get the letter from them? is the statement of account I download from their portal enough?

Thank you

dtush:
Hi, just got mine. And Dats what I am using for pof. Call their customer service or visit the office in Ikoyi. It's faster

MummyJaygirls:
Request that they should write a letter to cic confirming ur balance and yes, I used it as part POF

impish:
Thank you very much.

Just read your blog. Very very nice and informative.

You could also get some guest writers to blog on their experiences too especially about moving to other parts of Canada. Some people don't mind writing for free, or you get their stories and write for them. I would love to read about Blackbuddy and Maternal's experiences

All the same, can't wait to read the next one.

Thanks dtush, didn't know you had responded. I remember reading something similar way back, went searching for post only to come back to see you had thrown your weight behind using. Your friend's ppr even throws more credence. Thanks

rukayatd:
Good evening, pls who has used q life for medicals? Was it fast or is children hospital better?

The main differences between Q-Life and Children practice include:

* You need to pre-book with Q-Life while Children Practice accepts walk-ins (but make sure you get there before 10am).

* Q-Life charges N28K for adult and N20K for each child below 5 years, N22K for children age 5 years to 10 years while Children Practice charges a flat rate of N28K for all.

You can check this post by @Perks for the requirements.
