Yes, CIC advises applicants not to resign until when residency application is confirmed.

It is also clearly stated by CIC on their website that funds not readily available or liquidated as at the time of providing your proof of funds cannot count, infact they even went ahead to advise if you can sell a land, car or property but using a land document or 10 cars or any document & giving a timeline for the availability of the fund is not accepted except they change the rule tomorrow.
The word unencumbered funds was used for it meaning readily available, not slowed down, free from mortgage or any limitation of the law.

Lets be guided accordingly so we dont slow our application process. Its not about what we feel or think or feel they think, it about the stated rule.

Hi Solomon, its not worth taking that risk. Infact, the CRS point system is structured in a way that if favours young, single unmarried individuals than married people. Check your likely CRS score online.

Dont also forget that yout Proof of funds also increases with marriage.

For marriage confirmation, a marriage certificate, newspaper publication for females, your application becomes stronger when her passport is in your name.

Please people how many percent of Pension fund is acceptable as POF, I know of 25% but is it true that we can push it to 50 % ?

kissoflife:



Yes, I would like to have his contact, thanks!

@Kunmi and others: Please I wish to know if whatever my spouse score in IELTS test will still give me atleast 5 points. This is what I was told and I just want to confirm if my spouse 's inability to score the almighty LSRW8777 is an issue to worry about or not. What of if she doesn't even write the IElts test at all? Please, help with the fact.

Congrats to all those who got the golden mail...please i am a bit confused about my NOC.. I wanted to choose NOC 1111 ( Accountant and Auditors) however i am not chartered ,i dont have any accounting designation, i am working as an accountant with my MBA...
On the other hand if i choose NOC 1311( Accounting technician and bookkeeper) Wont that be too unskilled? Since what is needed is only a college degree .. Please kindly advise
Thank you

Oga, 25% funds is not encumbered o. Check that definition again, it is only subject to some conditions. Just like T-bills is until maturity or fixed deposit. It is available to you just that you need to ensure that anything sine qua non to withdrawal is met. in this instance - dISENGAGEMENT. Many have used it and no issue was raised even for up to 50% of the POF.

kissoflife:



Yes I do but not the full POF

TEECANN:


1. What's your undergrad degree discipline?

2. You don't need an accounting qualification (eg, ICAN, ACCA etc) to nominate NOC 1111, all you need is the relevant accounting work experience and skill. Good thing you even have an MBA.

3. You are a graduate with an MBA, so I don't think its proper to nominate NOC 1311 as you may be sighted for NOC/experience mismatch.

Stay blessed.

It will all end in praise IJN!

If you are the PA then the impact of her result won't be very significant. However, since you need just 5 points from her, then I think even a 7777 should do that. Just play around with the CRS calculation tool to know what your permutations would afford you

Wow! Wow!!! Congratulations!

@MRSDA, ITAbabe, Boldinc, Toyogirl, Tollu, Bsbabe, Yewwygraceful, Dannio, Bigfido, @all other LVO crew , this year will not pass you by. You all will receive your golden mail before the end of this year too. Amen. More of such good news on this thread.

Deebay:

Thanks everyone. It's still like a dream to me. I learned a lot here and will be very happy to give back.

I submitted 6 months pension statement of my spouse and a letter from the Pension body stating the 25% can be withdrawn etc.
Search the thread for yimiton. He/she made elaborate post on this. I got my insight from there.

ifarajimi:
Congratulations Kissoflife. I have a question as regards the gift deed. Can you please share a format and how did you notarize it. Thanks

Hello All,


I just got PPR and I was told my passports should be valid for 6 months. My current passport expires in June 18th 2018 which is now less than six months.

I have an option to take the risk and send my passport or renew .


Now the question;

I am given 15 days to submit my passport, how do I ask for extension to renew my passport?

Could you please share the link to this?

Can you explain how you go about this, did they give u the money? Pls I need the process.

Dear All,

Good morning.

Could someone assist me with the number of the officer for Police Clearance Certificates at Alagbon.

Thanks and kind regards.

crucialmental:
. Good day all,
please I need clarification as per POF, i want to know if i will be expected to submit my personal bank statement along side the gift deed from a family member. Yes. The ircc guideline recommends provision of 6 months statement from all financial instututions you have an existing relationship with.
And also how can i prove working experience of over 5years but i stopped working about a year plus now? my concern being that the mode of salary payment in the last place of employment was on cash basis. Payslips. Maybe not all but some from the period you commenced, some in between and some towards the end. In the absence of this you can request for the reference letter to state that you were paid your remuneration in cash.
So please i will really appreciate if the gurus in the house can help me out.[/b] HELP NEEDED

Deebay:

No I wasn't given the money. But 4 months after resignation, one is eligible to withdraw the money. Apply to your pension body for a letter stating you are eligible to collect 25% on resignation, also request for your six months statement of balance. I submitted these two documents. I don't know how to refer to old pages, but search part 2 thread using the moniker 'yimiton', this person gave detailed steps on it and I got my inspiration from there.
Do you understand now?
