Hello Nairalander,

Please how long does it takes for one to be granted Visa if a company is processing it for one in Canada.

solomonwis:

By "..... a company is processing it for one in Canada",do you mean you have a qualifying job offer or your application is being handled by an immigration consultant/lawyer in Canada?

nairadeen:


How long does it take in both situation. Thank you.

You don't need write IELTS or get WES ECA again, so long the ones you have are valid(i want to believe you have minimum of 6 in all segments of your IELTS). Just go ahead and open your EE profile, starting with initial assessment using a link called Canada tool on cic website. You will not be penalized for registering for EE even if you have gotten an invite through your previous application for FSW, you may however have to pay twice if both sails through(which we have assumed that your FSW application is some,thing we should forget in the meanwhile)

Hello,

I am traveling to Canada by end of March, but I am a but unsure of how much money to take with me. I was planning to take only a small part with me and the rest to transfer it to my bank account once i arrive there.

Does the immigration officer at the border want a proof of funds again? Should I take all my money with me or a bank statement is enough?

Hello All,

I want to know the best way to go about processing my ECA. I will be completing my M.Sc. latest by June and will write my IELTS in April. Is it advisable to process my B.Sc. cert assessment now and apply again for assessment when my M.Sc. degree is available (im not sure how soon my M.Sc cert will be ready).
I will also appreciate if I can get preparatory materials for IELTS, my email is geolumide@yahoo.com.

Thanks

Thank you guys for the great work you are doing. I and my wife with our 3 children are planning to relocate to Canada, am a chartered accountant, I have MBA, BSc, with over 10yrs working experience and my wife is a Radiographer, she also has PGD with over 7yrs working experience. Kindly advise who should be the principal applicant between both of us. will my qualification increase our chances if my wife chooses to by the principal applicant.. thank you

solomonwis:


The new Express Entry (new because it was launched in January 2015) encourages both the principal applicants and accompanying spouse to have their educational credentials assessed and show proof of language ability. As it stands both you and your spouse appear to meet the requirements for application. You will however base the conclusion of your eligibility on your ECA result and show proof of language ability (IELTS).

You stand a better chance to be the principal applicants while your spouse be the accompanying spouse. Please proceed to evaluate your educational credentials (both husband and wife) and make arrangement to register for IELTS (both husband and wife). Also make preparation to secure work references from all the employers you both have worked for. Once you have all of that ready, you can proceed to apply through the express entry platform.

Hello House, i need an urgent response. I sent in my application to CIC in Nov and CC debited in Jan, PER received Feb. I just discovered that i made an error in one of the forms i submitted, my self and my wife were denied UK visa sometimes in 2011 but i filled No in the schedule A 6d that we have not been refused visa before, although we had since been given thereafter and travelled once. I actually thought this was referring to visa refusal to canada only. Pls how do i get this corrected at AVO and hope this cannot cause any issues for me.

Congrats on your updates.
Two options exist....its either you send a CSE to Accra visa office or you send a mail to them
1.Send a CSE to them with the link below and explain to them on your seemingly unintentional error/mistake.Let them know you are ready to re-fill the form and update it with the information.Be fair enough to let them know the question was ambiguous to you which was why you made the mistake.
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=accra
2.Send an email to "accra.immigration@international.gc.ca and accra@international.gc.ca" and explain same thing to them.
They may respond back to you to fill the form and send it back again to them either by post or by mail....they mail also not respond back to you.
What matters is that they have it on their records just incase of future references.
Wish you the best.
Cheers.

Hello Damkollins,
I just received an alert that my card has been debited for the FSW application. But I have this concern, the passport my spouse used for the application have been replaced because the old one fell into water(it was primarily replaced because the picture on it was smeared ). Do I need to take any action now? Please, your advice would be highly appreciated.

Congrats on been debited.
Not sure if you are referring to your passport photograph or Passport document
I want to assume you are referring to passport document since you made reference to picture on it been smeared.
Nothing much to worry....just raise a CSE to Accra and inform them of the reason why the passport was replaced ....and in process ask if they want you to send the new passport to you.
Use the link below to contact ...
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=accra
You may even scan the new passport document biodata page in the process.
Meanwhile,you will need to wait until you receive your PER email before you can raise the CSE because your files actually get sent internally to your local visa office immediately you receive your PER email.
Wish you the best.
Cheers.

@ Solomonwise, thank you for your detail explanation on my request yesterday. Am about to apply to WES for my ECA, do I need to send all my certificate from Bsc, ICAN certificate, MBA certificate for evaluation or most recent qualification, I want to avoid the stress of getting transcript of my Bsc certificate.

I was really amazed after reading through this thread that the gurus here are offering professional answers to queries selflessly while lots of immigration services out there would charge for such. Thanks to you all.
I would like to seek your recommendation on the options of immigrating to work in Canada based on my profile.
Age - 27
Education - B.Tech (Chem. Eng.),M.Sc ( Energy Studies)
Work Experience - 3 yr 3m (Plant Engr - Manufacturing)
IELTS - 7.0 (W 6, S 7, L 7, R 8 )

I am waiting for WES presently. I am aware that my occupation is regulated and would require a license. After some research, I believe Nova Scotia Engineer Association could assess and process an EIT probably in 3 months while APEGS (Sask) claimed that applications could take a year. That I believe would enable me to apply for NSPNP this year.
[b]While I calculated my points as 67 for NSPNP, it is just 66 under CIC Express Entry [/b]because of a point difference in the work experience grid point between the two programs. I will humbly seek any correction, if any, in my calculation and advice on my application. I don't mind suggestions on other provincial programs. Thanks in advance.

Dear Brothers,

Good morning to you all. I am intending to take a part time teaching job for a semester at a university college from next month and still keep my full time job. I would like to know if there would be the need to raise a CSE and inform AVO about this. There is no change in my permanent job.

Thanks.
