Hello and congratulations to all the seniors in the house. For those apply for express entry more grease to your elbow.
Pls am a bit confused about my job experience. I would like to get opinions. My highest qualification is a masters in business administration. But my work experience, is as a retail sales executive for ab, out 3.5 yes. My education qualification would put me in Noc o. I do not know which Noc my work experience place me on. Moreover, when I checked the education qualification for retail sales in Canada occupation Noc , its a sec sch cert. Pls your views.

Please efamily, I wouldn't say I am new here cos I asked a question sometimes last year concerning the evaluation of WAEC result with seven years work exp as an Administrative Assistant. But with the EE, do U think I stand a chance since some of the Noc requires skull cert. eg Office admin assistant, logistics N supply chain, retail sales etc (skill level B &C)

Although, I have tried other means of migrating to Canada but got refused Twice.
Your 2 cent will be highly appreciated.
Thanking U in advance

Wale your questions are a little bit confusing and you need to clarify what exactly you are trying to do. You cannot possibly get a USA police clearance in Nigeria. Did you stay in the USA and you now need a police clearance certificate?

Solomonwis, damkollins, and every great member of the forum, please at what point do they charge the $490ca after the PER mail please?

Now that the courts are on strike, is there an alternative way of obtaining birth certificate, because NPC keeps requesting for declaration of age affidavit even though she has the hospital birth certificate, please your advice is very important here.

Great forum members please i am still waiting for your input on this question because I have a limited time frame to submit her application. Thank you

Does anyone have an idea of what day is being charged presently. I am a November 26th applicant. NOC 0111.
Or has anyone around that day been charged?

A November 21st has been charged on another forum. That's the latest date I've seen.
Hopefully yours should be charged this week.
Keep hope alive!!

Hi guys, I have a friend who is a software developer that wants to apply for EE. Due to the issues he is having with his boss, he does not want to ask for a recommendation letter from him. However, he has someone that has a registered IT company that is willing to give him a letter as his employer(though he has never worked there before).

The thing is that he is very skilled but then he is a bit scared about the whole idea. What do you guys advice I tell him to do.

Hi Guys

I just checked my mail and saw my PER. I sent in my application on the 9th of October and my account was debited December 18, 2014. Just like Solomonwis said it is being done in batches so if your account has been debited you would most likely receive your PER soon

I now understand what you mean. Unfortunately you cannot get a US clearance certificate in Lagos as the only acceptable clearance certificate is the FBI issued one. You would have to apply to the FBI with a set of your fingerprints. I would advise that you get your fingerprints taken in a police station in Nigeria in order to ensure that you get valid fingerprints.

I got my US clearance certificate before this new 14 weeks development. The earlier you send your request to the FBI, the better.

Ok, looks like we are in the same shoes. I thought you got your PR last year hence the question.
The funds in my account is currently not up to the required amount(it was when I submitted the application) so I wanted to have an idea of when they would require an updated Bank statement

Please how can I check of my dd has been encased. I just came from oyin jolayemi gtb and I went to the branch and they referred me to the third floor which is funds transfer and they say they is no way they can verify because once the dd is drawn they've already been debited. Please can someone let me know how they did theirs...

@Chukky77....dont mind this Nigerian banks with their unqualified staff that knows nothing about banking....if they want to let you know they will..how did others get to know from their banks?..my consultant lawyer went to the bank and confirmed the DD was cashed cos he raised it with the bank....when did you submit your application and when was it received?i will advise you place a call to CIC and ask for your UCI number so that you use it to check your ECAS sta[b][/b]tus

i will advise now that you are waiting for MR to try and augment the balance in your account because AVO may or may not ask for POF update..its better to be prepared than not and end of loosing what has taken you time to prepare.[b][/b]

i was so shocked when they told me that. please aside from those using lawyer can anyone tell me how they checked their DD to see if it has been cashed short of calling? it seems it should be pretty routine if so many people have done it.

Meritl:
With the gladdest heart, I announce the arrival of the much-awaited e-mail containing a PER; just when I planned calling the CIO to try and get my UCI.

Timeline:
1. Application received at the CIO on the 14th of October,2014.
2. DD was en-cashed on the 18th of December, 2014.
3. PER on the 19th of January, 2015.
I am grateful to you all for the assistance, most importantly Ferdimako, Damollins, and the great Solomonwise.

Hello Meritl- please how did you confirm your dd was encashed? i went to gtb and they told me they couldnt do it. please can you please let me know...Thanks. i appreciate

Getting back here to see great updates. congrats to Meritl, Sevule and Benik. Happy for u guys. More great news to hit the house. Seems CIC is on fire this period while AVO is having a nice cozy nap.

Good-day all, and thanks to all those that have been contributing to this thread.

I am new here, I am a Doctor of Optometry(inducted 6months ago). I'm currently doing my housemanship here in Nigeria.
I will love to move to Canada afterwards. Please I need answers to some questions:

What do I need to apply for EE?
1. What is the cost?
2. I read minimum work experience is 1year. Is that true for me since am currently doing internship?
3. Aside the cost, is there any extra money I need in my account?
4. How long does it take to process my application?
5. Heard IELTS exam result last for just one year, is it true?
6. I need explanation on ECA

Thanks in anticipation for your favourable response.

P.S
I have family members I can stay with there
I am single.
My NOC is 3121, level A.
I dont have international passport yet.
Am 25years old

Hi Shokky, sorry Chuckky.
Just the day I planned making efforts to see when and if my draft was debited, was the day my PER arrived.
I largely suspect that if you've not received a rejection email or mail and by estimates, applicants around your date of application have perhaps started receiving alerts or long received alerts, is an indication that you'll make it. I.e. get a PER.
That was how I consoled myself while waiting.

If I start giving you advice to calm down, it will sound as if I am a pro, because I did panic while waiting for the PER mail.
Just to let you know that on the day I received the PER, I bought #2,000 recharge card to call the CIO. Before dialling their number, I just decided to check my mail; behold there was the PER mail.

In summary, I will advice you just relax even if I know its difficult.
CHEERS

Solomonwis, damkollins, and every great member of the forum, please at what point do they charge the $490ca after the PER mail please?

Now that the courts are on strike, is there an alternative way of obtaining birth certificate, because NPC keeps requesting for declaration of age affidavit even though she has the hospital birth certificate, please your advice is very important here.

Great forum members please i am still waiting for your input on this question because I have a limited time frame to submit her application. Thank you
