Hello everyone,

Please I need help with the following questions.
1. In the address history, must I list all places lived in, including places travelled to for short periods?

2. In the ID document, do I list my old and new passport?

3. Under education, I have two degrees, a BSc and MD. I only have ECA for the BSc. Do I list both qualifications in education? Or I list only the BSc and then mention the MD in personal history?

Thank you.

If someone cannot provide contract letter and first pay slip, will the letter from place of work be enough evidence for proof of work experience for ONP? Asking for someone who has got ONP NOI? Pls what documents does the person need to submit in other to be nominated by Ontario?

Triv:


You're not alone o! I'm February too, I'm beyond frustrated! Check my cic account once a week now. Let me guess,London visa office too?

I am a silent reader of this thread and I have benefited immensely from the contributions here which is why I am motivated to give back especially because my case is peculiar so I hope it will encourage or help someone. please before I begin, I would like to encourage people to read the thread from beginning before coming to ask questions that have been flogged and over flogged on the thread. It makes the thread unnecessarily long which in turn discourages people who would have actually put in effort to start from the beginning and there are little important inputs within that would help someone which could be missed if one does not read through.

My degree is in law but my NOC is in management ." Iphie's "posts led me to use IQAS for my evaluation instead of the popular WES because an LLB is awarded more marks as professional degree which going through WES doesn't give. This boosted my CRS. I evaluated only my degree certificate. You do not need to evaluate law school Certificate.I don't have an LLM. my CRS score was 407 so I had to apply through Ontario. I received NOI in April, applied may 20th and got nominated June 26th with 600points which boosted my score to 1007. I don't have reference letter (which is a very important document in the express entry process) because the company I worked for was shut down. so in place of reference letter, I provided a letter (in form of a reference letter) written(typed actually) by me and notarized by a notary public stating everything that is required to be written in a reference letter. regarding the format of the letter, I started the letter in the form of an affidavit (I, Dolly Parton, hereby declare that...) and not like a proper formal letter with addresses. Also, I attached all my contract/employment letters which had my salary,job roles and position stated, income tax certificate,6 pay stubs and my first and last bank statements showing salary deposits . Before applying for OINP(ontario Immigration nominee program) please ensure that you request your duplicate ECA to be sent to OINP from whatever evaluation company you used. This will reduce any delay in processing your application. The process of requesting for duplicate ECA from IQAS got irritating cos they requested I send hard copies of my request form which cost me more because I used EMS express whom also did not deliver my documents on time(supposed to be 5 days but took up to 2-3weeks). I was fortunate to get a reply from a better informed IQAS representative before EMS was able to deliver my duplicate request form to IQAS, that advised that I could send the requested application copies by fax which was received immediately .why I said "better informed " is because prior to sending my documents through EMS, another representative had responded to my enquiry that IQAS doesn't receive faxed documents .About the fax, I used a free fax service I found online gotfreefax.com. I was able to fax the documents for free to IQAS .There are other online fax services you can use to send fax. All you have to do is scan your documents and send it through their fax link and it gets delivered to the fax machine. There are usually instructions on the websites/apps about how to get it done. (I love how much the internet has made life easier) . Lateness in requesting your duplicate to be sent to OINP can delay your application. Recently, some applications have been processed within a week. I got ITA after the nomination last week .I think I have said all that needs to be said. More information on OINP human capital stream can be found on http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/oinp-ee-human-capital-priorities-stream-comprehensive-guide.396543/page-315

After receiving nomination, OINP Will deliver the nomination certificate to you through express mail. mine arrived after 7 days of nomination . When filling my ITA online, I noticed there was no place for uploading the nomination certificate but had read somewhere that CIC usually requests for it. so what I did (which I read somewhere that others also do) was to upload the nomination certificate together with the LOE .my LOE also explained the reason why I don't have a reference letter and that my POF (treasury bill) is from my husband because the treasury bill statements are in his name. He also wrote a letter stating that he's giving me access to the funds which we uploaded to the POF section.

OINP is definitely expensive and cumbersome to apply for because they request for more documents than CIC did ,but it can be done. Yes, I did it on my own without an agent .I understand that this application process can seem too much for some to manage themselves but I believe with patience and research, it can be done. Hope my post helps someone. Once again ,I appreciate the people who contribute to this thread. God bless you abundantly.

Thanks for your post. I wish I had the information on IQAS and law degree from Nigeria, I would have used my wife as the principal applicant, since she has a law degree and is much younger too (did her ECA with WES). Anyways, I got NOI from ONTARIO and my application is at Decision in Progress since 20th of July and my question is - How long does it take from Decision in Progress to Approval?
Thanks for your feedback.

mamatwiny:
Please, can we have double applications on the pool? Application 1. Hubby primary applicant.
Application 2- myself as the primary applicant?

Which ever application receives ita or PNP, we go with it.

40manlappy:


I think the bolded is a case of mistaken identity. Can't recall posting that

Anyway, I did part-time MBA too and I don't think it affected the calculation of my work experience in any way. Yet to come across that issue in respect of Canadian immigration. Maybe for Australian skill assessment....

Hello good people, please I have a few questions, in trying to prove work experience, what does one need to provide to CIC,is the reference letter from employer suffice? Or do i still need to provide payslips and bank statements for the period apart from the statement of pof as requested by cic?

For instance, I worked at xyz company for 1year before moving to another coy, will only their reference letter be okay, or will I need to show bank statement for the period I worked for them.

Am trying to avoid a scenario where I have claimed 2 years but cannot provide evidence of being paid for one year out of the 2years am claiming.

MummyJaygirls:


Does it say (a)"your application is in progress" or (b)"We are processing your background check"?

If it's (a) which is IP1 maybe a month for PPR
If it's (b) which is IP2 between 1day - 2 weeks for PPR

Getting ur application approved after PPR is like 1-4 weeks


The time frame varies from application to application.its all speculations. Just keep praying for favourable result. Cheers!

Fusion23:


if you can please add the IM008 or a letter saying your family composition has not changed.
I did not add it to mine , and was worried so i submitted it through the web form.

the issue is just following instructions to be on the safe side , they said failure to do so might delay the visa process.

Its possible that its not mandatory thou.

jelmusboy:
Can someone send me the link to view the occupation in demand in Ontario please?.

superdoll:


So sorry @40manlappy �. It was actually @elfmann. Mine were both full time (MBA and work). Though still hanging in for ECA and Ielts.

TheWatcher212:


You are very right on this. Thank you for the heads up. Cheers.
Have you sent in your passport? How long did it take to come back?

MummyJaygirls:


What CIC requires is reference letters from the companies u claim to have worked at (the ones u claimed points for) not bank statements showing salaries paid.

So u r good to go

40manlappy:


I think he is talking about awaiting approval for Ontario nomination, not e-APR.

hiscules:
oh okay thanks. I had to ask as pay for the other one year was by hand while the second year reflects in the bank.

I take it that no need for payslips too

fabdee:
Yes London visa office. Whewww a bit relieved. Off to grab a glass and peanuts. Would be back when PPR falls on me ���

Faky201:

Pm me for the contact

MummyJaygirls:


If u follow the proper way of writing the ref letter as specified by IRCC from ur office, there would be no need for payslips

Happylassy:
Hi there,

Whats your question re government worker? I have worked with/in government work both within and outside Nigeria!! I used both experiences on my application.

Feygbe:


@40manlappy @ehrnie please help me.

bigbroda:


Really angry and feeling devastated right now. July 8th exam result just came out and it was a mess up for me. LSRW-7.5,7,6.5,7.5. Feel so hurt and tired of the whole thing. Ain't doing dat exam again perhaps for now. Gotta take a break, Ontario might call while chilling being an IT person with 381 which is possibly hitting 390 after spouse's ECA or EE cut off just come down to 390 while I believe will happen someday from a personal study. I will be glad to embrace any of the stated options.

Gotta take a break but before dat lemme ask for a remark in listening and reading. Who knows, something good might come outta dat cos I'm a bit optimistic about it especially for the listening.

Guyz, can someone please list all the steps involved in asking for a remark biko. Dat's all I need for now.


Salam!
