Abeg, can a child use a different passport from that of his parents?

I'm wondering if my son's US passport will be ok for the application. Or must i get him a Nigerian passport?


I'm thinking it should be okay...however I don't know what CIC's requirements are in cases where children have dual citizenship and their parents don't. Getting an e-passport for him isn't a big deal if it comes to that. A day is sufficient if u grease their palms wella grin

Hey! Fancy meeting you here all the way from the other missionary thread. lol!
Well, I am yet to start an application......still sitting on the fence.
Anyway, we do not evaluate our credentials through WES. its done through MCC Canada. Check out their site for info. www.mcc.ca
Thus far, i have gathered the following info as regards an MBBS ECA.
1)open an account on www.physiciansapply.ca a $278 non-refundable fee is charged.
2)request for a source verification (svr) of your qualification on the physicians apply site (this is done through ECFMG). It costs $157.
3)Send MCC a copy of your mbbs degree and a cover letter (downloaded from your physicians apply account) via courier.
4)2-3 working days after receiving no. 3, ECFMG sends a request for a source verification of your degree to your school via regular mail (with a copy of your degree, a form to be filled and a pre-addressed envelope). If the school does not respond within 60 days, they will send another request to the school. At this point you can opt for a courier delivery to your school. They will only repeat this step 4 up to a maximum of 3 times.
5)ECFMG responds to your school and processes your verification within 20 working days and then you can proceed to step 6.
6)Request for an ECA from MCC. this would cost $102 and would take 21 working days to process.
7)Pay a courier fee for delivery of your ECA to Nigeria (about $140).
Note that step 2 may take as long as 100 days or more seeing as most Nigerian schools claim not to receive this mail. To speed up your process, you wanna keep tabs on your school right after ecfmg requests for a source verification and ensure they check their mail and then you pay for a courier delivery back to ecfmg.

God Bless you dear,so detailed,see me thinking WES is to verify my credentials.i also took the ielts however I toolk the academic and have to sit for the general aswell.ill update you as I move along.Thanks

Hello everyone, Please I submitted my PR application in November, My Spouse's Passport used for the application expired in Feb.. I am unable to change it to the new passport no, I hope this does not change anything, or how can a change be effected. Secondly we are told to notify CIC when there is a change in status such as childbirth, divorce etc, please through what channel can CIC be notified of anything? Via the CIC account or by phone or by mail?

Thanks for this forum!

I believe you were aware that the passport will not be valid after Feb.At every pointing time,CIC instructs that applicants travel passport should not be less than 1 year validity.you suppose to have renewed the passport then use it for the application now you want to put youself in tight corner.I renewed my passport 6 months ahead of the expiration date.As per your second question,notify them via your CIC account include ref number if you have one for easy indentification.Cheers

oh! oh!! I misunderstood you.I didn't comprehend the message very well initially.You have gotten a new passport but don't how to effect the change on the PR App.Like I suggest earlier send them an email via your CIC account with ref number if any,if possible attach a photocopy of the biodata page of the new passport to buttress your claim.regards
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by vcole: 3:21pm On Mar 22, 2016
Well, i think it is really up to you to decide which of his passports you wanna use. It may just be easier to use the Nigerian passport for this PR purpose. And yea, you get to save money/time spent on 9ja visa.

Please can u forward the reference to me a well... Lavivaavril@yahoo.co.uk. I work in a bank and my HR is asking for heaven and earth, I will practically have to inform my direct supervisors and human resources that I am resigning soon and migrating to Canada. That's too much information in my opinion. Is it possible to get my direct supervisors to draft /sign it for me without having to go through HR?

Please anyone with info, Kindly respond, thanks

Yes, your direct supervisor can give you the reference letter, as long as it is on the company's letter headed paper.

I guess WES had sufficient information to make their decision so you won't have to send it.

The experts can comment as well.

30th draw on March 23rd. CRS Cut off 470 with 1014 ITAs.

Looks like it won't go much lower than this, as it seems that CIC has reduced the number of ITAs issued per round.

Na to kuku kidnap the supervisor, courier am go CIC. Authentic reference letter toh bad. grin

Honestly, I've got no idea. You might have to get your supervisor to get you the reference letter on a plain sheet of paper. Then you attach your work details; employment letter, promotion lette, pay slips, etc and also a letter of explanation as regards the company being defunct.

However, it will be at CIC's discretion if those should suffice.

Hello House, as the ITA cutoff score remain at an all time high level, higher hopes now on pnp. If one should select other provinces together with Ontario in ones EE profile, can that in anyway negatively affect possibility of being selected by Ontario ?

Nope, it was much higher than this early last year.

I think it would come down eventually. If you check the 2015 rounds of invitations, you would notice that there were a few outliers like this one.

But the general score hovered between 450 something and 460 something.

I am saying this based on the firm assumption (which I believe to be true), that the trend would continue.

Good evening!

Payslips are very necessary! If you submit only your reference letter then there's a 90% chance of being called for an interview so submit all the payslips and salary bank statement as possible.
