What was the passage about?

It was about gold; history of its discovery plus various examples of people who made these discoveries.

Hello house. I have searched the thread but just want to ask again to be sure. My affidavit for change of name is dated March this year, I just got it because I can't remember where I kept the former one, can't even remember having one though I was told I did.
Marriage certificate is 2014, newspaper 2014. Will it be OK to upload the three docs in change of name pace holder even though the affidavit is 2017?
Thanks

Hephgirl:
yes and soccer too ( fifa) duh .
It's not just games for boys / men lol

Good to know I'm not alone

Hephgirl:
I have that on my psp... It gets boring... There's something about a pad.... And den playing with someone by ur side feels "realer "

I used to be good at MK back then on Sega. Which platform do you play your MK?

@SQLmastar we can play PES on the other side.

Good day House,

This POF is still a bit confusing can someone knowledgeable about these matters please advice me, see bullets below

- Do I need to show bank statements using my salary account (I do not wish to use this account), I wish to use another bank which is not the salary account, although I opened it about 4yrs ago its been seriously active for just 2months. Can I still use it, if I gather all funds stated below into that account?

- Why do they need average bank balance? how is it calculated

- 1st source: of funds - I intend to sell a property to cover for 60%, what do I need to show here? The property does not have a CofO
- 2nd source: I intend to do a gift deed from a close family member to cover 10%
- 3rd source: I intend to use 25% of my pension account to cover about 15% of POF. Do I need to get pension statements or a letter from my PFA? should this be before or after I withdraw the said amount from mt Pension account?
- 4th source: I also intend to use funds from a mutual fund investment account, what do I need to show here?
- 5th source: I also intend to use funds from a mutual fund investment account of my WIFE, what do I need to show here?

Finally it there a way I can simplify and consolidate my income sources so that I avoid pitfalls during these POF submissions. I will really like to submit one or two solid POFs. Please take note of the bank account I intend to use.

Note I intend to travel with my family.

Thanks

1 - You need to show sale evidence and asset evidence. Agreement, reciept and survey/plan could be useful
2 - Nothing to say
3 - You do not need to withdraw the money from the pension account, just get a reference letter from your PFA
4 - Investment certificate
5 - Investment certificate /evidence and consent letter from your wife

It is advisable to make a tabulation of all your source of funds. This should be the first page of your POF document.

Congrats on your IELTS result. you nailed it!.

enocoded4life:
I am just super excited and overwhelmed right now. All glory to God because He indeed answers prayers. Just checked my IELTS results now:

Listening: 8.0
Reading: 9.0
Writing: 7.5
Speaking: 8.0

Got just what I needed in all bands to get maximum scores. CRS now stands at 453. I pray UNIPORT sends my transcript to WES today as promised so that my evaluation can be completed. Can't wait to dive into pool. From here henceforth it's from glory to glory.

Special thanks to @yimiton, @Sunvick, @Dhimmy, @Algbenguze, @Hephgirl who encouraged me to rewrite IELTS when I shared my profile and former scores (LRSW 7.5, 9, 7, 6.5). They helped me calculate my possible CRS if I got an 8 in listening and told me I had no business with PNP. Today your advice has paid off. Thank you sirs and ma'am God bless you all.

To all hopefuls keep holding on, it's just around the corner. It will end in praise.

My pleasure. Hope you get your PPR soon

threadstone:
Busy week.. medicals yesterday (the wait period na die), Pension Letter from stanbic yesterday (thanks yimiton for the FMT), So na to stroll enter bank collect reference letter remain.

am ende steiht der sieg!

Yes oh. Thank God the wait is finally over for me. I think mine took a total of 3 weeks or a little over.

Kontagious:

Yimiton, comman see your sister . She has a very similar post to this.

Soon and very soon, you'd have that PUM, and your CoPR in your hands.

We all are waiting for one thing or the other. Last last, we'd all smile.

@DatechMan Thanks, this is very helpful. just to clarify below

1 - You need to show sale evidence and asset evidence. Agreement, reciept and survey/plan could be useful Ths is clear
2 - Nothing to say

3 - You do not need to withdraw the money from the pension account, just get a reference letter from your PFA
So the funds don't need to reflect on my bank balance, is that what you mean? plus I don't have to show my Pension Statement?

4 - Investment certificate
So the funds also don't need to reflect on my bank balance (the statement I intend to submit)? plus I don't have to show my investment trail or Statement?

5 - Investment certificate /evidence and consent letter from your wife
So the funds also don't need to reflect on my bank balance (the statement I intend to submit)? plus I don't have to show my wife's investment trail or Statement?

Please can you comment on the bank account I intend to use, its been active for just 2months now. With the proofs above will the average balance over 6months still matter. I usually don't keep cash in my accounts

Thanks

I know I will also share my testimony here

tempest01:


Okay thanks....Is there a place to get historical draw dates and numbers?

I know someone already gave you the CIC site but this is succinct in one page and it is updated every time there is a new draw

Go and work it out with ur Alma mater. You wouldn't want it being rejected. That will amount to waste of everything.

iVILLAGE!

Hubby and i started this Canada waka since 2014. it

mid 2015,i stumbled on Zandora's thread, u can imagine our joy when we realised it diddnt require licensure. i read every single page on d other thread, knew so much about EE, and even started advising people to try it. at this point we had all the knowledge but never did anything physically about it.
fast forward to April 2016... we suffered a major loss due to medical negligence, and we decided we had had enough of this country!!!

i started my PEBC evaluation and all required documents were submitted by August except my transcript, little did we know the 'officers in charge from my village' aka OICV had picked up our case file during their quarterly meeting!!!!!
i started processing my transcript from May and they didnt submit it till August, was so relieved until PEBC told me my useless school submitted an incomplete transcript and it was rejected!!! who does that furthermore, marriage cert. was cut off, so i had to spend another DHL money for that!! They also claimed they didnt see my letter of good standing from pharmacy council!! i was so dejected!! how could the plan of the OICV gone so well? 3 rejections from only PEBC
i finally paid another #60,000 for a new transcript to be sent which they did with their snail speed and sent feb 2017. waited to hear from PEBC so we could dive in2 d pool with my proposed score of 468....nothing. contacted them March, they replied after d 2nd mail they were yet to receive my letter of good standing (this was after sending them several mails of the DHL delivery to their office and even the name of their staff that signed after delivery), i just concluded 'OICV' must have collabored with the guy in Abuja somehow. we were tired abeg and just closed their case, decided to evaluate hubby's masters via IQAS.

IQAS was fast, hubby dived in2 d pool with 434 in Feb.
we had written IELTS Dec 2016
hubby... LRSW.... 8.5, 7.5, 8.5, 7.5
Urs truely............8, 8, 7.5, 7

Even though we were sure CRS would never go beyond 450, we just wanted him to be swimming.
Ontario opened and CRS started declining!!!! wow! there was hope! after much convincing from me to close our profile and open a new one for Ontario, hubby finally agreed and did that around 11pm, unknown to us, there was a surprise draw and the cut off was 434!!!! we were supposed to receive an ITA that midnight!!!!!! everyone that knew about our parole blamed my over sabi like hell! chai! i felt so bad!! but at least, there was hope!
below is our timeline;
ITA.....APRIL 5, 2017
AOR.....JULY 4
ADR (SCHEDULE A FOR ME).....JULY 20TH
UCI ASSIGNED.....JULY 20
IP1.........JULY 21 (STAYED ON DS FOR 91 DAYS!!)
MP........JULY 28
WE DO NOT NEED ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS.....SEPT 1
CALLED CIC, SAID FILE IS IN TRANSIT TO LONDON VISA OFFICE UK.....SEPT 25
ADR........SEPT 29
the 'OICV' somehow convinced the VO i was a criminal in Canada awaiting decision on my offence. we wrote a LOE immediately thet i had neva been to Canada let alone commit a crime!! see me see wahala!!
IP2......OCT 20
PPR..... OCT 23
TOTAL NO OF DAYS FROM AOR.....111 ie 3months 19days of excrutiating wait!!

whatever u might be going through, pls use it as a driving force to achieve your dreams. we started at the lowest point in our lives and used it forge ahead, it will never be easy, but with God all things r possible, he came thru for us and i know he will for u 2..

Not a problem, MI court wedding(2017) was done after I had change of name affidavit and newspaper(2016) sef, used it like that for study permit, no issues.

@Feygbe good morning and good morning to everyone else. Please can I have a sample of your bank statement in the CIC format. Please anyone zhere using Ecobank or Firstbank did you get the required format for your bank letter. A sample will be appreciated.

Good day House,

This POF is still a bit confusing can someone knowledgeable about these matters please advice me, see bullets below

- Why do they need average bank balance? how is it calculated

Note I intend to travel with my family.

Thanks

An average balance accurately shows if you have successfully maintained the balance over the 6 months prior to submission of your application or if there were lump sums.
Here is how mine was calculated:
Assume letter is requested for on 13th of October 2017. Bank starts counting the six months prior from the day before.
Balance as at May 12
Balance as at June 12
Balance as at July 12
Balance as at August 12
Balance as at September 12
Balance as at October 12
All these are added together and the sum total is divided by 6. That is the Average balance for the last 6 months
If the money was dumped in as a lump sum in less than 6 months it will show. You will have 3.6 million in your account and average balance will be like 800,000 .
If the amount has been there for the last six months, the difference in closing balance and average balance won't be a lot.

Congratulations Boosy. Hpy 4 u.
The VO insinuating crime in Canada is so weird

COPIED!!COPIED!!

Hi guys,

This is my first post on this website. Here's my timeline:

FSW-Outland
AOR: 7th April, 2017
Medicals done: 24th June, 2017

I'm not sure about when IP1 and IP2 started for me, but since 6 months got over on 7th October, I wrote to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca asking them about the application status. And i got an e-mail saying PPR had already been sent on 18th July. I'm 100% sure it had gone into Spam and i had no idea, plus there was absolutely no update on the MyCIC website. So, they sent me the PPR again on the 11th.

PPR: 11th October, 2017

So, the PPR emails are sure to go into Spam. Guys, please keep checking your e-mail spam folder everyday from day one after AOR itself. And those who have crossed six months, write to CPC-CTD immediately.

I totally concur. I also read about a lady who found hers in the trash folder. I checked and overchecked both spam and trash ehn....

As for contacting CIC, I totally agree. I didnt mind staying on phone for 35 mins before speaking to an agent.
