Meritl: Hello Damkollins. Please I visited a GTBank branch in Benin city and I was told that I can't get a draft in $CAD except I go to Lagos.
I visisted a FIRST Bank branch in Benin and they said they can raise a draft there in Benin but, it will be in $US. I'm very careful not to hurriedly get it in $US when the instructions says in $CAD.

Any idea or suggestion?

lollipop29: Please my friend needs advice and I know he can get it from here.

He Wants to apply through the federal skilled trades person program and his current job is listed among the NOC jobs for that program. But his biggest challenge is how to go about Getting the requirements from any province.

Please those any one knows the method and how to get the necessary certificates and documents from a province before he can apply for the PR ?

Thanks

Has Accra embassy switched to sending MR by post? that was the practice 3-4years ago before they changed to email. With the email option, You would first receive an email telling you to go for MR, then forms comes as attachment to a 2nd email a day after the initial email is received.

solomonwis:

If you have a GT Bank account (domiciliary),you can raise the draft on the online platform in Canadian Dollar and request the pick up branch to be one of the pick up branches in Benin. You don't have to physically visit the bank to do this. Just get a domiciliary account,go to your online platform and raise the draft...As simple as that (I know this to be true of GT Bank).

Meritl:

Thanks Oga Solo.
You nor come congratulate me on my wedding.
Chaiiiiiiii.

Meritl: Officially married today. Thank God for everything.
Filling my apps tomorrow in view of submitting next week Saturday.

solomonwis:

Congratulations,happy married life...Don't let CIC or FSWP delay your "shooting" . "Shoot" if you must,when you get to the point of medical,you shall cross it with minimal restriction (if any)

solomonwis:
You see,I was the first to congratulate you and I added "jara" to the congratulations..

"jara"

damkollins:
If a bank issues this ....it is called bank certificate or bank letter ........this is acceptable as a proof of fund at the submission stage even though Accra visa office will request statement Of account as an update when they issue medical request.
The bank certificate will have your name,account details,amount in your account as of the day it's been issued ,letter head paper of the bank,signature of manager and stamp.
Cheers.

unibadan: As regards police certificate and i would like to share this info i got on CIC website.


"Note. We strongly recommend that you submit your police certificates with your application to the CIO. If you are unable to obtain all the necessary police certificates, you may still send your application to the CIO without them. However, please note that if your application is placed into processing you must be ready to submit them to the visa office when requested"

"Note: If you are including your police certificates with your application to the CIO, please ensure that your certificates were not issued more than three months earlier. Police certificates are generally valid for 12 months from the date they are issued. However, if a final decision is not made on your application before the expiry of your police certificate, the visa office may request that you provide a new one"

My UK police certificate issued in June is most likely not going to be sent with my application with this info as i am yet to send my application.

damkollins:
Just include it...when your application gets transferred to local visa office,it will be determined if it needs you need to apply for another one.It doesn't cost you anything to include with your application whenever you are ready to submit.
Cheers.

scrollmeout:

Please do yourself a favour and have the amount in your account at a date on or before the signature and date on your form. Of course this date should be before you send the application

Most likely you will be asked for a new banks statement at Accra VO before your visa is issued.

Meritl:

Hello scrollmeout .
Are you saying it is compulsory that your Bank balance must be obtained on or before the day you sign your application?
House help too as I'm on the brink of submission.

scrollmeout: Folks, i have a question of my own.
Out of curiosity I tried checking the status of my application using a UCI issued on an earlier returned application, albeit under another NOC. The response is shown below. My account has not been debited though but i am envisaging it to be in about a month.
Should i expect to get another UCI in my PER, or on this same one?

Your UCI will surely be the same FOR LIFE!
It doesn't get changed so by the time you will get your PERS,it will be the same UCI as you had before.
There will be update once your account is debited.
Cheers.

beaurydoc:

Pls am interested in this response thanks,pls any one that has done MCC verification pls do reply.And ekpesus if. U ve gotten response pls send it to larryfel2k@yahoo.com

scrollmeout:
@Meritl..@bal2012002
I'm sorry if i confused you or anyone else. It is not compulsory, neither is it a rule. It's just a rule of thumb, if you may that i use based on someone else's experience...
Just my opinion here but i don't think it makes sense that you have a document that may be deemed out of date. I actually meant to say that the bank balance certification should be up to date (current)as at the time you send your application. I actually signed and dated my forms after i gathered all of the required documents.

damkollins:


This should not be an issue to debate on.
As he has said said,it is only logical that you would have printed out your statement of account before dating the forms.At the same time,you may have also filled your forms before printing the statement of account out.
Both options are wide open without guided or stipulated instruction by CIC.
Please don't get each other confused as both options are okay.
Cheers.

Meritl: Hello house. Is there any penalty to have your bank statement on a date after you've signed your application?
These insinuations from Scrollmeout are confusing.

damkollins:

Nope...see my explanation up.[b][/b]

Meritl:

I copy my Brother.
I be think say them don change am.
God pass them.
(You didn't "Cheers" me this time)

System error...
Cheers.
