Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by daisy1(f): 11:30pm On Sep 09, 2023 |
Hello. Please I have a question. I am currently in Canada as a student but I want to apply for permanent residence from now. This is the situation, the CV I added to my application has all the jobs I have ever worked at for the past 10 years. It's 6 jobs in total. I have recently updated my CV to just reflect 4 jobs with no gap years at all. This means I consolidated job A under job B for example. In my EE profile, can I state that I worked at job B For 3 years, even if it was for 2 years? Or do I stick to the original CV job outline and years I used during my study application. |

ShowYoung: I was almost going insane, it was until I called DHL this morning that they responded that the Johnson Akogun who signed for the passport at VFS Abuja was the right person and that he is always the person who signs for it. After 1 million tries, the chat with VFS went through and they said that they have received the passport but it has not been processed, but at least inform us so we can know that you got it. Very frustrating! 1 Like |

ShowYoung: @showyoung tried all the options and via chat, I got told that I should expect reference number from VFS 2-4 days after they receive the passport. That there is a huge volume of passports submitted. Thank you |

ShowYoung: Thank you. I did not make any mistake and I am quite surprised at the delay. I put everything in one envelope as told and sent it to their Abuja address. How long do they usually take before responding. I used DHL to send it |

Hello Gurus, please I sent to passport to VFS Abuja since Monday. It got delivered on Tuesday at 10am. But I am yet to get any email from them on whether or not they received it. I paid transmission fee, 1-way courier and SMS fee and I attached all these receipts inside the envelope alongside the passport. I am in Lagos, actually did my biometrics in vfs Lagos. How long before I know whether VFS received my passport. @showyoung @zubizaretta I have sent emails more than 3 times to Canadang@vfshelpline.com but no reply or response. Please who has submitted to them, when will I get reference number? |

PPR ALERT!! My PPR came in today at 7am. I am a first time applicant and I have had Β a USA B1 visa refusal before. BACKGROUND My initial target was to go to the UK to school because everyone I spoke to said Canada was hard to get into. Last year I applied to about 5 schools, 2 in UK and 3 in Canada. Fanshawe responded really quickly, I almost didn't take it as I wanted George Brown, they had a course a bit closer to what I currently do, but one mind was like, just take what you see first, so I accepted their offer and I paid 9k CAD using my GTBank USD card. Β 2-3 months later, none of the other schools I applied to accepted me, George brown I really wanted, said my study gap was more than 5 years as the last time I was in school was in 2011. I then came on nairaland and I read as much as I could from here, I even asked questions and I got responses. In my case, I have a fulltime job and 2 different side gigs, that pay me monthly so I needed to know if this would not affect me as I am self-funded. THE APPLICATION I did not need to write IELTS or verify my documents via WES. My application to Fanshawe was done via www.applyboard.com. I wrote my SOP myself, ensuring that I use headlines to break it so that it doesn't become a long read. One key thing I did here was explain how as an accounting graduate, I pivoted into Marketing. I treated my SOP as a story, ensuring that I hit the high notes really quickly without boring or oversharing irrelevant information. The headlines and a brief synopsis for what each section contains can be found below: YOUR NAME The Visa Officer, Deputy High Commission of Canada, Lagos Nigeria. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE - Introduction: In this section, I gave my name, a bit of my educational background and the course I want to go and study in Canada. I ended this section with saying how this course will improve my career ABOUT ME In this section, I gave some info about my family, If you are married, state that, have kids, state it here ACADEMIC BACKGROUND in this section, I gave more information about my education, I only have a BSC in accounting, so to set the ball rolling for why I want to take a different path in my studies, I stated why I am making the switch to a different course of study. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE in this section, I talked about my work experience, showing a clear progression of my career from after university to date. REASONS FOR PURSUING (INSERT YOUR COURSE NAME HERE) COURSE IN CANADA here I talked about why pursuing this course in Canada was important to me, in my case it was very important to get an additional degree in the field I currently work in, if I wanted to advance in my career. WHY FANSHAWE COLLEGE IN CANADA? ExIplain why you chose this school and not any other. It would be great to look through your school's website and find out what makes them standout and add it in this section. SPONSORSHIP OF MY CANADA STUDY TRIP Explain who is sponsoring the trip, if you are self sponsored like me, state how much you earn monthly, if you paid any part of your fees, state it here, state how much you have kept aside for upkeep. If you are sponsored by someone, tell the story about why this person will pay your fees, show a clear relationship and also state their monthly revenue or salary. MY FUTURE PLAN here I talked about what I will do with the Canadian degree when I return to Nigeria Overall, Make sure you stick to the point, tell a clear story about your life. The general rule of thumb for font size/type on SOP is times new roman, size 12 with a line spacing of 1.5 (I don't know if this is important, but it does make your writeup look neater. THE SUBMISSION I submitted my application on March 30, these are documents I submitted I used the GCKey portal to submit. - All the IMM forms - Letter of acceptance - Passport - Digital photo - Medical e-sheet - Proof of funds (MBS for my USD account as well as MBS for my Naira account, Payment receipt from Flywire to fanshawe) - Client Information (see all the documents below) - SOP - Invoices I sent to clients for my side gig - My Payoneer account print out (if you are a freelancer, you will know what this is) - A picture of my car - My car ownership papers - My old scheghen visa -My full time job contract showing clearly that I am still going to be working for them, I am not on leave. This was my home tie. I did not need a study leave letter because of this. - Shares certificate I received from this fulltime job. THE WAIT This is the timeline after submission - Upfront medical IOM - March 20 - Apllication was submitted - March 30 - Confirmation of application - March 31 - Biometrics letter - March 31 Biometrics done - April 5 Then silence... I scheduled emails via my gmail to send to the IRCC emails, Newyork, beijing, nairobi at least once a day. I just scheduled the email for 10 days in like 1 hour and I just left it, same email no changes and my subject line was URGENT - STUDY PERMIT. May 30 - Medical passed June 8 - Correspondence letter (BVL) Then silence again, it was unusual as BVL comes a few hours before PPR but mine didn't, so I started researching again. Then angie88 told me to create an account via https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login to check if I would see my visa document number. On June 9, I checked and my visa and study permit numbers were there under the Document status. I sent a couple of emails but I got a generic response. THE FINAL APPROVAL. During the weekend, I had scheduled like 42 emails to go out to all IRCC offices starting from 10am today, but at 7am, I got the PPR. I had to stop all the scheduled emails immediately June 19 - PPR TIMELINE - Upfront medical IOM - March 20 - Application was submitted - March 30 - Confirmation of application - March 31 - Biometrics letter - March 31 - Biometrics done - April 5 (Updated on GCkey same day) - May 30 - Medical passed - June 8 - Correspondence letter (BVL) - June 19 - PPR 35 Likes 7 Shares

daisy1: I got this message from IRCC today. Really hoping to hear from them this week in Jesus name. Has anyone ever experienced this type of delay before? Good day, Thank you for your correspondence. IRCC recognizes that applicants may face uncertainity with their travel plans as they wait to receive the passport request letters. The passport request letter is in queue. We are currently pacing the passport request letters being sent to a certain number daily. This is as a result of operational constraints beyond our control. We are unfortunately unable to provide a specific date or actual time frame of when we may be sending out the letters. Unless otherwise, this passport request letter remains in queue. We hope this information suffices. Regards, 1 Like |

Republic001: Did you get BVL (correspondence letter) before the refusal letter? and what is the gap between both? To answer your question, it means that when you apply, IRCC will ensure that, the new application will be assessed on its own and not based on your refused application |
