Unfortunately, you can not claim additional points with your relatives in Canada anymore with the launching of Express Entry.

Here, the higher your score points, the higher your chances of being selected. So, it will be beneficial if you can encourage/persuade your spouse to go for both language test and ECA.

If you however, decide to go for EE alone (without your spouse's ECA and IELTS), you might have to approach the provinces and prospective employers for nomination/sponsorship.

Hi everyone,
AVO asked that I pay for RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE FEE for me and my spouse and APPLICATION FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE FEE for our new born.
Questions:
1) Should the bank draft be raised differently?
2) From the fee guide, I deduced that the right of permanent residence fee is CAN$490/person and Application for permanent residence fee is CAD$150 for a new born. Am I correct?
3) I do not have a domiciliary account, how can I get a bank draft raised in foreign currency?
I will anticipate your kind reply.

Please I need help. I applied for fswp 2014 since Oct and yet to get debited, no mail and I've not seen my application I don't know what to do.please I need information on how to contact them either phone or email.

damkollins:

Congrats.
1.Raise a single draft ...either CAD draft or USD draft.
2.You should raise the 1130CAD draft as a whole and include a cover letter that shows breakdown for the three payment.
3.You need to have a domicilliary account ......better still,look for a friend or relative of yours that have to raise the draft on your behalf payable to "Receiver General for Canada".
Cheers.

Hello Everyone,

I need an advice from you. I actually am planning to put in for the Express Entry this year. I have done IELTS (SCORED 7.5) and presently processing my WES ECA. I also have applied to schools in Canada. Got admission for a PG one year programme and also an MSC admission in view. This is my question. Can both application go side by side. I feel it might be a confusion since going to study implies i have a mind of coming back while going through immigration means i want to stay there. I am a BSC Graduate, 30 years lady, married with two kids. I have 3 years experience in Accounting. I have been to two countries (Dubai and LOndon) for a visit.

My question is can i apply for both?

pls whats the current exchange rate used for those that used credit/debit card.
pls peeps yur comments is needed.
cheers

damkollins:

Though I did not understand the statement well....but I think you should go all out later in the morning to top up the amount in your account......because they will surely try it again if its CIC.
Do not take this chance for granted.
Wish you the best.
Cheers.

Hi guys,
Just got AOR for my NSNP application submitted on the 12th of January and have been asked to provide my Express Entry Express Entry Profile Number and Job Seeker Validation Code. Dou you think i should edit my express entry profile and select only Nova scotia because i initially selected all Canadian provinces under the provincial nomination preference tab.

Regards

Hello damkollins and co,

Application sent: Aug 2014
CC charged - Nov 2014
PER received: Dec 2014.

I got married in January and would like to inform Accra visa office about my new status. Accra website states that 'Permanent residence applicants should wait until you have received your file number (letter B followed by 9 digits) before contacting us, except to change your mailing address, change your e-mail address, change your immigration representative, or withdraw your application'. My challenge is that I am yet to receive a 'file number' although I was assigned a UCI and an application number when I received the PER email in December.

1) Can I use the Case Specific Enquiry (CSE) option on the CIC website and attach my marriage certificate as proof?
2) Or do I update Accra via email or letter quoting my UCI and application number?
3) What other document(s) do I need to attach? details of spouse? etc??

Thanks in advance for your advice.

@Damkollins,
My CC was charged few days and I thought to say thank you again for providing guidance regarding stapling or not stapling my FSW forms.
BTW, do you know if CIC tries to verify account balances? To the best of my knowledge, banks do not provide this information to 3rd parties, except of course in limited cases. I also know that Proof of Funds is usually requested by VO at a later date. Planning to invest some of the funds set aside for the entire process (the movement of funds will be verifiable, when VO requests for POF).
Thanks.

damkollins:

Congrats.
The POF is a hotly contested topic so be careful not to be caught unaware.
My advice is that you get the cash readily available to present it whenever its asked.
Even if you invest it,make sure you have verifiable plans to present the documents supporting it whenever you re-coup the cash back into your account as a bulk amount.
The POF update may be asked...and may not be asked depending on if the local visa office is satisfied with the documents presented during submission.
Cheers
