Quite true if the applicant has documented proof of the source of funds (e.g sales of properties, large benefit payment, etc). Quite similar to those who use gift deeds from their parents as documented source of funds.

However, in the case where the money is borrowed or any other liability, it's important that the funds/term deposit remain in the account for 6 months.

To apply to Quebec, you need yo be versed in French and if you both are, then its sthg you should actually pursue...

ANBAKO:


Per the boldest, Borrowed fund simply means it isn't your money.As you mentioned yourself - liability. That is not tenable as POF no matter how long you "fix" it because you need to return it to the owner.

Note that having liability isn't any issue so far your net still meets the required amount of POF.
I had a liability of over 500k with GTB when I submitted my application in 2014 but I made sure that my POF proof exceeds required amount by 1million Naira so as to accommodate my liability.

Again this is my personal opinion based on my personal experience

Good luck

Hello my people

Please is it okay to send me and my husband transcript with one DHL post or to separate it. Is from different school and we where able to collect it from the schools after they have sealed it. The courier service the school was going to use it will take forever for WES to get it.
Is cheaper if we send it together or what do you think.

Thanks for further insight.

@bolded: IMO, it may be used as a supporting but not as the primary POF. At least, the applicant can access the fund after 4 months of being unemployed in Nigeria.

I think it is high time Nigerians who have relocated abroad permanently and who are contributors to the pension fund set up a lobby group to make a case for an amendment to the Pension Reform Act (as amended) that would allow people in their category to access 100% of their RSA since they are no resident in Nigeria.

The current regulation did not seem to take into consideration Nigerians in diaspora.

Quebec has changed rules, English speaking people can apply so long as you meet the minimum points which is 47 without spouse or 57 or so with spouse.

The only thing I have a reservation for is integration and jobs for English speaking people. Knowing fully the province is french oriented.

I'll post some links later.

Cheers.

P's, Nogen, i replied your email.

Hi guys, a quick question concerning WES ECA Please. My status states "Awaiting verification from institution". Is this a sure confirmation they've received my transcripts? The last time they I asked, they had received only the certificate I sent to them myself.
Trying to confirm from school if they've sent is proving abortive. Please does anyone know if WES does verification only when they receive transcripts so I can be sure they've received them. Thanks.

irondome:


Absolutely true. Most of the job postings in Quebec requires fluency in French. The silver lining is that immigrants are not bounded to stay in the province indefinitely. If you stay for some months without job, you are free to "waka" to another province; as under Canada’s Charter, every resident has freedom of movement.

Hello Edababa007
I will like to know if you were able to claim additional points for your wife ICAN & ATS certificates (under the 2 more more certificates, diploma or degrees. I have both of this certificate and am in the process of doing my evaluation with WES. Also, I graduated from OOU, how do you think i can speed up getting my evaluation from WES as i currently have my certificate with me.

U re not alone... I applied for myself and my wife since July.. it's been from 1 story to anoda.. But surprisingly, WES contacted OSU directly without receiving our transcripts. I now have my WES report and my wife is still expecting her report because she included her ICAN ATS certs. Ur wife might be lucky too. Pay her WES fee and send her Degree cert to WES.

irondome:


If you get an ITA now, try and get your mum prepare a gift deed for you -- stating that the money was completely a gift with no obligation to refund it. Otherwise, it's wise to allow the money rest in your account for a minimum of 6 months.

If your POF is found to be inadequate (does not meet the specification in the requirement documentation), your application may be rejected without any fairness letter.

@greetings

Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you!

I have gone through the links, and it looks like this Quebec thingy will make sense. Certified true copies of documents are allowed.

I didn't see any information that fluency in French Language is compulsory.

The important thing is to attain the required scores (57 for an applicant with a spouse/partner and 49 for a single/unmarried applicant).

Like irondome suggested, one can always leave the province after a few months.

@segbas: You can check out the following links on selection factors. It also gives one an idea of eligibility.
