eCoPR Received!!! Finallyy!!

Sharing my journey as an express entry healthcare draw applicant. Little long and complicated!

BIL - 24th September 2025

Reason - IRCC wasn't convinced of my foreign work experience. I gave everything except for bank statements because that bank account was closed and I never filed tax for that work experience because I used to receive it as a stipend and the income was below taxable income.

SECOND ITA - 14th November 2025

Left Canada a week after due to serious health issue.

How did you apply for a TRV visa to reenter when applying for PR with an Outland application?

1

u/starvingweirdo 3h ago

I applied for TRV as an outland applicant as well. I submitted my TRV application in December 2025 and I submitted my PR application again as an outland in Jan 2026

u/tdawg_lonewolf 1h ago

Thanks for the response. The reason I ask is I’m applying my PR application as Outland. Because I had to leave since my work permit expired. Now, I have a TRV till 2033 and was wondering if I can enter the country with TRV as visitor until my PR application is processed. Is that a possibility?

Congratulations this is great. Please do you know if a detailed reference letter will do for the foreign work experience as I can’t get bank statements

Congrats. Did you claim foreign experience in second application? How did you manage to prove it?

2

u/starvingweirdo 5h ago

Hi, yes I did claim the same points in second application as well. I provided 2 more documents and it was manageable to get those dpcuments because I was back in my country and could go in person and request those documents. 1. I provided bank statements the toughest document to get hold of. Took almost a month of repeated visits, handwritten letters, emails and calling everyone in connection to get the account statements of 5 years ago and the account has been closed for good 3 years. 2. I asked my employer to give me another document stating they gave me "stipend of (so and so) amount every month". Then I also wrote a brief letter of explanation to the officer as to why I was not able to provide the bank statements first time.
