Dive into the pool already. IMO, this is not a serious issue. You can include it in your LOE if it's giving you sleepless nights.

You are right that the issue has been discussed severally on the thread. If it's any consolation to you, someone who had a similar issue has already gotten RPRF payment request. See the links below.

well i once asked an internal auditor at Sterling bank and he said they do in cases where the requesting body has your bank statement, i think even said they have a dedicated desk for such correspondence. At the time, I was applying for canadian study visa and I knew of someone whose application was denied over funds, the sharp dude pulled out the funds after submitting SOA and didnt replace it.

But just to be double sure, I would ask the auditor guy again, not saying his word is law sha.. but it makes some sense to me, cos i dont see why people wouldnt pull out funds after submitting SOA if the balance cant be checked.

The bank can only confirm or deny the authenticity of the statement and that the information provided on that statement is correct. But as for your current balance or any other activity on your account, they will need a warrant from the appropriate channel to get it. If any banker should give out your personal information to anyone other than you or persons authorized by you, they are in serious trouble because you can hammer on top their head! CIC is only privy to the information you provide to them in this situation and all they can do is to verify that the document (i.e bank statement) is authentic and the information on it has not been tampered with.

I am a Banker, in Nigeria ( from the name, I assume you're Nigerian) and yes most embassies do.

I did it for 3 years before transferring to another unit and from what I noticed, 8 statements out of 10 sent to us for confirmation are fake which makes us know that embassies can spot falsified statements, hence the confirmation.

However, embassies cannot cross certain boundaries which may erode our fiduciary responsibilities like asking for your current balance or statement request from us. We only confirm that what you have presented is accurate as at the time provided and it emanated from us.that is why we ask you to get one stamped from a branch, we cannot confirm one you have printed in excel from your internet banking.

It is advisable to have the funds you require before any trip whether checked by the embassy or not.

You can use experience acquired under multiple NOCs 0/A/B for CRS calculation. So, you will be able to get the maximum CRS points under employment and skills transferability sections.

However, only work experiences under one NOC (Primary NOC) will count towards eligibility. As you are already in the pool, it means you have got more than the required 67/100 under eligibility. So there is no need to modify your application.

einsteino:



I get what you are saying, the legality of them requesting for your balance, I dont know about how the law views that. but what is there to stop one from moving out the fund after submitting SOA if balances cant be confirmed, at least minimum balance? Does it mean CIC just takes Post SOA in good faith? particularly in cases where it isnt fixed deposit or TB. if this is the case, then I would like to think that moving out cash after submitting SOA would have been so wide spread by now that any debate about it would be redundant. well, I am just thinking out loud sha, i dont have anything to substantiate my thoughts.

Perhaps those who have done so could share their experience.

That's the loophole with this process and im sure CIC knows that. There's not much they can do than to take the POF that most applicants show in good faith or request for an updated SOA at their discretion to confirm that the applicant has the required POF. Same thing goes for the medicals and police certificate they make us submit. The fact that an applicant passed medicals doesnt make that same applicant immune from contacting HIV or any other ailment that may put a strain on their government's pockets or pose danger to their citizens. In the end, after they've done their best to meticulously examine and verify the information provided to them by an applicant and the ones available on open source channels are consistent and authentic, they give PR status on your merit and good faith really.

einsteino:



you are very correct. I pondered on the bolded some months ago, I wondered why they dont request for another checkup close to say, the day of take off or at POE. I guess in practical terms, risk can only be managed and not totally annihilated.

Cakay:

Hello people... I got an adr to go and pay my rprf and also to show a summarized pof again.
I just need a bit of advise as to how to go about the pof.

UPDATE
I looked it up on Quora and a respondent there who claims to have worked in a dept that replies enquiries from embassies on bank statement, confirmed what you said. i still find it hard to believe that there is a tiny loophole here to explore I would expect among the plenty terms and conditions CIC makes us consent to, we would have given them the power to verify balance ..Anyways Here is what he said in quote

Scard:
Good evening all, I am here again oh.

Please, how long does it take WES to deliver report using standard method? Will it delay so much or I should kukuma go and cough out $85 for courier?

How do I pay for WES, can my regular Nigerian cards be used?

Thanks everyone.

PS; With all my permutations, it seems the highest I can score is 425, any help on what else to do or I should just hope that one day the score will come down to where I am before my age reduces it further.

Will my ACCA-CPA-CGA, conversionn help me in anyway

Kudos @dupyshoo, you just nailed the way I've been interpreting this in my brain all along.

That said, do you(or anyone) think the profile below can claim 3years work experience and get maximum points?
NYSC service year(2011 to 2012)
Job A: 2014 - 2015
Job B: 2015 - 2017(till date)

Please note that the NOCs are different for each of the jobs and also that there's no gap between Job A and B i.e for example, stopped job A in February 2015, started job B in March 2015 till date.

I've a question. I've a friend who says he will have to spend 1 million naira, that's almost $3,000 to apply for visa ...like visit visa or any visa to canada, from Nigeria? He said this is the cost of paying agents to process the applications to Canada and what they told him. I told him he doesn't need to use an agent but he says its better. Is this true? Are y'all spending that much to process your application to canada?? This isn't about me ooo, I'm already overseas. Just want to get a clearer picture of what he's saying.

Thanks elfmann, but that simply tells me I am eligible to apply for express entry. I'd like to have an approximate score.

elfmann:

You should be fine to claim three years. What would ur primary NOC be here?
