amazingfortune:

Your reply has been so comprehensive. Thank you very much. I still have a question. I was told that work experiences are required for all jobs in the last 10 years. That confused me a little. Secondly, express entry is being introduced in January 2015. Can I still apply till 2015 April under the current system as you said. Can you please copy the link where you got this information from. And thanks again for being so helpful

amazingfortune: and yes, the CIC website says"

As of May 1, 2014, there is an overall cap of 25,500 for new federal skilled worker applications. This includes a cap of 500 applications from PhD students. There are also sub-caps of 1,000 for each of the 50 eligible occupations. The caps do not affect people with a valid job offer. These are the last applications we will accept under the current system before Express Entry launches in January 2015.

whats your sau on that?

Thanks Solo for the address
I have a domiciliary account and a functioning token.
I have gone through the GTB online platform.
I saw draft in transit but I think its for only naira draft
Am not currently in 9ja so I cannot fund my naira account but my dollar account has enough for the draft.
I called my account officer in gtb and he said I can only do for naira draft online. He said becos of fraud they only do foreign currency draft in person.
So I guess I have to raise it when I get back.
Thanks again

OK. So, this is to thank everyone in this forum for sharing and the sacrifice. I have learnt from this forum that when people come together and share ideas and experiences on a particular issue it makes for smooth and comprehensive knowledge acquisition. As a matter of fact since i stumbled on this forum, i now seek information from platforms like this rather than goggling in trying to get information on certain procedural matters or issues. Thanks again to everyone for making this possible and saving most Nigerian 3000-4000USD for lawyers fee. May God water all your seeds and give you prosperity in all you lay your hands to do. Solomonwise, i specifically want to say THANK U to you for initiating this forum. I think we should change your name now to solomonwizard
Just to update the house on my timeline
June 2013 i sent my application
July 6 it was received
September or October 2013 got my PER
September 2014 got the request for Medicals. Was also requested to send a new police report, and a updated generic form and additional information form for me and spouse. The moral of the story is Patience while you watch and pray
Just one more question to the house
I am almost set to send to Accra office but wanted to make assurances double on the address. Though i got an address from this forum but another person sent me a similar address but with some subtle differences. Am now asking which one do i use
This or that
Thanks to you all
God bless ya all

damkollins:
If you look very well.....both addresses are the same.
I assume you are sending your documents through Courier service.
If you are sending it through courier service,the "P.O.Box 1639" in the address is needless as courier service is not meant to deliver to a post office box.
Courier Service are meant to hand-deliver to recipient physically which is why the other address is the most useful one.
The address below is the preferred choice for courier service

Immigration Program|Programme d'immigration (KAS)
High Commission of Canada| Haut Commissariat du
42,Independence Avenue,
Accra,Ghana.


The "P.O.Box 1639" is correct too but its for registered post mail to post office.
Cheers.

Special appreciation goes to Chief Doctor Solomonwise for your immense support both online and offline; you are destined for greatness. Keep it up bro!

amazingfortune: damkollins has been very helpful. I would thank you on behalf of the every body on the forum. BTW are you an immigration lawyer?

Cheers

seunlovesa: If one makes payment using a bank draft, how will one get a " signal" that one's draft has been cashed by CIC?

princebimby:
Hello All,
I am gathering my documents under NOC 2281... i believe i still have time.
Secondly can i fax my degree certificate to WES with my ref number written on it.
Thanks for your prompt response

damkollins:
I believe NOC 2281 is still safe for now though I can't give confirmatory details of how safe it is....trust me,Its safe.
I'll prefer you just courier it to WES since they did not specifically listing fax as part of their medium of documents receipts.
Other evaluation bodies may accept it but I think its best to just go by the rules of WES as stated in the attached.
Cheers.

eveneky: pls house, i need an answer to this question. My WES evaluation report is out and my degree equivalency in canada is (THREE YEARS DIPLOMA) AND ONE YR POST GRADUATE CERTIFICATE. Pls, its this greater than OR equal to canadian degree? my NOC is 1111 AND it required a university degree. Thanks

tayoamos: Thanks house, I want to know which document I have to send to MCC for verification. I have the following;
1) University Certificate of my MBBS
2) Transcript from school
3) Nigerian Medical and Dental Council License

Which should I send for evaluation please
Urgent reply

solomonwis:

By including her marriage certificate,you have given an implicit intention to have her name changed(I am not sure of what the name is called in legal terms). This was further buttressed by the fact that qualifications subsequent to her marriage all bear her "new name". You have nothing to worry about,just ensure you at every point include a letter explaining the "discrepancy" backed by the marriage certificate - It is not a discrepancy as such.

The final report (which will most probably focus on her highest qualification) will have the same name as is on the postgraduate qualifications. A newspaper publication stating the particulars of the marriage with "all other documents remain valid" plus the marriage certificate will provide explanation at all times..

Note that no matter the letter you write to WES you most probably might not reverse the name that the ECA result will bear. Nothing cause for alarm..

papiloski: Hello Mr Solomonwise,I currently work as a customer care rep in a telecomms firm and my Hubby is a brand manager.He did nt study advertising in school but is doing a masters currently in communication studies.i would like to know can we still apply knowing fully well we are not in the field we studied in school.

jangirova:


Thanks Solomonwise,indeed u ar a guru!My wife got her WES report&there was no issue at all with names differential since we included the necessary doc showing her name change.WES did the right thing just as u said.
@ferdimako ...u got us scared with the blame game!

There should be no qualms with evaluating both degrees particularly if ur undergee degree gelled more with ur NOC& u still want to claim 23 point for ur masters educational level.
Cheers..... in damkollins voice.

solomonwis:

Congratulations!

I remember the apprehension at the beginning,the fear about using your Pension contributions fund as proof of settlement fund,the fear that you might get cut out by your age,the fear that you might not be favorably considered because you might have to provide a self attested work experience...and so many more

I am happy it came out well....Like I have always mentioned,NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED...


I wish you the very best!
