Eni23: What applications are they checking now?

benik: Hello. Quick question pls. As adviced by Damkollins earlier that it is OK to Access MSc degree alone. When making final submissions to CIC. Is it just the ECA that is to be submitted or do I include other credentials

solomonwis:

It is ok to assess/evaluate your highest degree for now as you have limited time but like I'd always advise,you can include your Bsc/HND at a later date at minimal or no cost. Evaluation goes beyond just securing points for FSWP purposes. It is also necessary for certification in your profession/chosen province...

benik:

Thank you. I wanna also know if I must submit d Bsc with my final submission or just the ECA is required

subsidy12: Pls asides from bank loan. Is there anywhere someone can borrow money for account statement purpose oh. Cos I don't have 3.5m for family if 4 currently. Any useful information will save a soul

subsidy12: That's is long term. All I need now is for applications purposes. With that in mind saving starts immediate after submission. If processing time takes 31months as we have read. That is more than enough time to raise the cash.

But for now I need d statement of account for submission purpose

solomonwis:

Well,it doesn't work that way....Savings (or proof of settlement fund) starts prior to application because it is one of the pre-requisites for issuing a PRV.

It is not worth the effort spending so much (with so much hope and dream) only for all of those to come crashing when it is discovered that you don't actually meet one of the conditions for granting the visa.

Whatever will make anyone want to circumvent the process is enough motivation to want to do anything just to scale the hurdle,this is absolutely condemnable in all ramification.

Nobody says you should tie down fund for the whole period of application but you must be seen to be economically established such that when you are asked to provide a proof,you will not waste time to provide such {with proof of source(s),if required}.

This is a program for skilled workers (who are economically established - this is the rationale behind request for proof of fund,assets and liabilities in the application form).

To come on a public forum asking for "ways to borrow money" when the instruction clearly states otherwise is not only a fundamental breach but morally wrong.It means,should people be granted the visa on that basis,they would deny genuine people who have all it takes the space.

solomonwis:

You MUST submit all educational documents with which you secured your ECA result.Failure to do this is an express ground for application rejection.

solomonwis:

Applications received between May 7th to May 14th,2014...

Bash1oo: Question for solomonwis, Damkollins and other gurus in the house:
Have we had any successful application based on using ECA of only the highest qualification (in this case, using the credential evaluation of only MSc degree)?

lillyadet: pls guys, how much does it cost to send application from Lagos to CIC office in Canada, and which of the courier services has the lowest charge?

damkollins:
Between #12,000 and #15,000 should be okay depending on your chosen courier service.
Be careful in using the supposed cheap ones with no guaranteed express service.
I want to believe DHL,UPS or/and FEDex (in no order of effectiveness) are okay.
Cheers.

Ekpekus1:
Tnx Boss! FSW 2013/2014 never start? Why the delay sef? And they are projecting 2015 express in January. I just pray they speed up the processing. Accra office is just allotted 4 countries if I am not mistaken. I just wonder what can be the result of their snail-speed work.

meta4:
i am on another group, the canadavisa group and there i've got about 3 people who got their PRV last week and about 4 the revious week, so the 2013 folks should be receiving good news emails from AVO soonest. keep hope alive.

benik: @damkollins and @solomonwis.
2 quick questions for you guys.
If there are 50Eligible occupations and the cap is 1000 applicants per occupation that makes it 50,000 but the general cap is 25,000. Can you guys possibly assist in clarifying that bit.

Secondly I noticed some occupations have (0) some have (-) what is the difference?

Thank you

jangirova: Hello guys, just want to know whether WES sends academic certificate for verification online or via regular mails /courier to schools. My school is yet to receive any doc from WES though my account read 'awaiting doc. verification from school' .Almost 2 wks now.

lollipop29: Please House I need advise ASAP.

Is it a MUST and a prerequisite that my spouse must write IELTS exams since she's not the principal applicant? I am asking because I am the primary applicant and I have done my evaluation and scored 70%. And to make matters worst, we live in PH and IELTS exams are no longer held in PH (at least for now) and my wife gave birth few weeks back. So traveling to another state with a new born baby and all the inconveniences attached warranted my question.

Also, there is a section in the application form that asked " if your Spouse is proficient in English language". If I say NO, what is the implication? And if I say YES, it will require I provide an evidence (which is the IELTS test score).

Please I need urgent replies so I can decide either to go ahead and submit my application now or to enroll her for the exam in another state.

yomifowe: Hi Everyone, just saw my IELTS result :

Listening: 7.5
Reading: 6.5
Writing: 7.0
Speaking: 7.0
Overall: 7.0

solomonwis:

The 1,000 cap limit is the maximum that can be accepted (out of the 25,000) for each eligible occupation. It therefore means that some occupations might not reach their cap limit while some others will do before the total maximum complete applications received.

Let me paint a simple scenario,If out of the 25,000 maximum to be accepted, 1,000 people applied for 1111 (Financial Auditors & Accountants) and only 400 applied for 0113 (Purchasing Managers) and the total application received has reached 25,000.There will be no more intake as the maximum for the year has been reached (not minding the fact that Occupation 0113 (Purchasing Manager) has only 400 applications.

As regards the (0) and the (-) in some occupations,I believe they both mean the same thing. That might just be some programming error (This is my opinion).It means no (complete) application has been received yet.
