@Vcole - Congrats. Real good reward for all the much needed contributions

@esosa4real - Don't worry. it will come before midnight today or by tomorrow morning.

Congrats to everyone that got ITA today too

my people, pls wats the difference between these two questions

1. Question # 4: Has NAME you been refused refugee status, or an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) or application to the Provincial nominee Program) or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?

2. Question # 5: Has NAME ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

I am kinda confused. If I have been refused a visiting visa to the US, which category exactly do I fall under, which do I answer yes to?

esosa4real:
My people thank you ooh!! I appreciate the congratulobias but make I see ITA ooh!

I don refresh tire, no email yet, no update yet any Nigerian received yet?

NO sleeping tonight! I wanna palpate my ITA live with my hands.

Lol

Good People of this Forum,

Is it advisable to apply with ones wife or alone? Which seems to be the surest path.

Thanks

boldinc:
Applying with your wife is your best option... Adds more points when she writes IELTS and also gets her credentials assessed.

You might be better off with her being the principal applicant.

hello Guru in the house, kindly assist clarify the age difference challenges my closest pal is having. The age on his WES evaluation report is quite different from the age on his international passport. Please which age is relevant to his express entry application. Please your advice will be highly applreciated. thanks

vcole:
Thanks everyone. I truly appreciate your support, advise, recommendations and all through this journey and wish everyone a speedy app process.

I submitted my app on Nov 6, 2016. Details of my prep- eca, ielts, EE pool entry, ITA, etc etc can be found in my previous posts, you can click on my moniker and read old posts for more info.

Timeline:
FSW-EE, NOC 3112, CRS 482.
EE profile created: Oct 14th 2016
ITA: Oct 19th 2016
eAPR submitted: 6th Nov 2016
AOR: 7th Nov 2016
Medicals passed: 8th Nov 2016
BG NN>>IP : 30th Dec 2016
GCMS notes requested January 11th, issued on 21st January and received on February 2nd. Its 129 pages of lots of very confusing info and I had to google a lot and ask people who had gone through the process before to try to explain. The short summary is that it showed my app had moved from central office in ottawa to Accra on 8th Nov and from Accra to London VO in Dec, and as at 30th Dec, it showed eligibility: passed, criminality:passed, medicals:passed and final:approved and the last notes made by a VO same date was "appears RFV"
I was very worried as to why I had not received PPR when app was supposedly approved since Dec but was encouraged by "forerunners" lol! to just wait and expect ppr soon and they were spot on.

@esosa4real, i have been receiving your pms and i have been responding, maybe you should check your junk or spam? @boldinc, I also responded to yours.

I have also received a couple of pms from newbies to the thread, I didn't reply because I am more than happy to respond to all your questions on this thread as that way, it yields maximum benefit. You are able to get responses from several persons and it also benefits current and future readers. This thread would be dead if we all opted to pm when we just joined instead of discussing on the thread. So, kindly ask your questions on the thread.

. His real age. The discrepancy may cause an outright rejection. He should try going wt the older of the two ages and attach a LOE. But his best bet wld be to get a new passport and make his DOB tally.

Please people, I have ALL the wealth of information I need to start the process of this immigration through FSWP and from my calculations, I'll need 5.6m naira for everything. I have an average paying job but I can never raise that amount of money. I have 4 questions.

1) How am I going to raise this money? Loan? Extra business? Please share how you got the money needed for this.
2) Those that got job offers from here, please how did you do it?
3) Those that had no job offer or provincial nomination, how in the world did you get enough points to be able to qualify for ITA?
4) I saw also that a certain amount of money is needed to show proof of funds. If I get a job offer, this is unnecessary right? Or do I need it no matter what?

Please o, help a sister. I need helpful answers. Anybody is welcome to answer, thanks and God bless you.

For clarification, this is my daughter's account. I couldn't be bothered to open one and she told me to 'ask nairaland' while rolling her eyes. Thank you o.

boldinc:
I assume she could be younger than your are and age is a factor in earning points. Also, she might have a Masters' degree and you do not (as it was in my case).

I will advice you use the link and try both ways and go with the person with the highest score.

Goodmorning People,

Congratulations to everyone that got their ITA yesterday (including myself) and to the seniors with PPR status and the ancestors that have landed I hail thee all.

Quick One: My work experience for NOC 1114 is actually 2years and 11months...but while filling my profile it didn't request for actual date of the job...just month and year hence March 2014 - Feb 2017 makes it 3years on the dot but in actual date count i am short by 3weeks and some days.

The system counted it as 3years and gave me maximum points, should I go ahead and accept this ITA and run with it or reject and just wait till March or April?

Gurus please advise.

boldinc:
Do not reject the ITA... You have 3 months to submit and before that ends, you would have completed 3 full years.

So... begin to prepare all your documents and wait till the end of the 3/4weeks you need and then submit.

All the best and congrats on your ITA.

SlowlybtSurely:


They rejected a CEC candidate because of this. They will consider what your points should be when you got ITA.

Not sure if it's same for outland.

esosa4real:
My people's I greet you!!

Yaay! I woke up to see my ITA! Thanks for the encouragement and support. Now the journey just officially started.

@vcole dupsyshoo 40manlappy slowlybutsurely ugoiyke79e I am worried about the date I fixed for my wedding which is August 12th. Do you think it would be too late a time considering the stage, application might have progressed to by then?

I don't wanna carry on this application to the end and not involve my girl oh.

Was just looking at the timeliness, it's difficult to predict but what do you advise? Should I keep to this date? Or marry earlier? I am yet to pay for anything sha like hall etc.

Mind you, I can only come home ONCE, if not I would have come to do a court after eAPR but that would cancel possibility of travelling again in august. They won't grant another leave.

I hope yall get my drift!
