Good day House!

I and my husband registered with WES for assessment since Aug 2016. I got my own assessment Dec 2016. He is yet to get his assessment. The status still shows "Awaiting verification from Institution". He has gone to his alma mata (Uni Ibadan) to follow-up and he ensured those in charge responded but the status still remains the same. WES still claims not have received confirmation from Uni Ibadan. Please what do you think he can do as this is delaying us from creating EE profile

Big Congrats Fola. Please I sent you an email. Would love to make some enquires from your experience. Kindly respond. Thanks

Hi guys, finally application approved, COPR and Visas on hand. The journey came with its delays, from waiting to get medical passed to BG status changing to IP2 and the wait for the Golden email to the finally getting passports on hand but God saw us through it all. Hallelujah!

Initially the journey started with an application to SNP in December 2016, because we never thought that the draws will fall below 450 (which nobody anticipated following earlier trends). Lo and behold, 2017 ushered in a new dawn and we are grateful to God and scores dropped like the walls of jerico (those that knew scores in 2015/2016 will understand) and there it was ITA. I immediately withdrew the SNP application and commenced gathering of documents.

Areas that gave me sleepless nights:

1. Marriage certificate uploaded was a black and white photocopy (for some weird reason I was worried it wasn't uploaded in color) and Rank/Profession discrepancy, thanks to the registry.

2. Used 90% gift deed from father with proper letter of explanation and supporting documents.

3. GTB Bank statement were in black and white except front and back pages that had stamps (reason for this was to shrink the document to fit 4MB as the statement was voluminous)....and I used gift deed....I know right.

But at the end of the day....the rest is history!!!

The timeline goes thus:

Family size -----------------------Principal + 4 dependants
ITA ------------------------------- 22 Feb
AOR - ---------------------------- 11 Apr
Meds passed -------------------- 14 June
BGC: IP1 --- ---------------------15 June
BGC: NA ------------------------- 19 June
ADR(1) -------------------------- 12 July - Schedule A (IMM5669) - PA .... I submitted 13th July
ADR(2) -------------------------- 17 July - Schedule A (IMM5669) - Spouse.....I submitted 18 July
BGC: IP 2 ----------------------- 27 July
PPR------------------------------- 4 Aug (Email received Aug 5 - 4.41am.....i saw d email 8am)
Passports sent to Accra --------- 7 Aug
Delivered ------------ ------------9 Aug
Additional Passport Request ----18 Aug
Passport sent to Accra - -------- 18 Aug
Delivered------------------------- 21 Aug
Application Approved-------------31 Aug
Pick up mail sent -----------------11 Sep (mysteriously it was sent to my spouse's email after sending mails and calling)
COPR & VOH ----------------------15 Sep


AOR - PPR - 116 days
PPR - COPR - 42 days ....delayed partly because I did not send my kids US passport initially (sent only data color page), they later requested for it which you saw in the timeline and also Pick up mail wasn't sent out the next day.

Canny Land here we come.....

Congratulations to all the Copr, PPR, ITA recipients

Thanks for the post. Some of us with estimated CRS of 415 are still hoping. Wish i can see get advise on house to ace TEF, dat will give extra 30 points.

Algbenguze:
LONG POST ALERT!

From my observation, CRS cut-offs are usually determined mainly by the draw size and then interval btwn draws and to a lesser extent the number of candidates in the EE pool.
The reason the cut off recently didn't really drop as anticipated, even when we had up to 3 draws in August, was because of the relatively smaller draw sizes. The closer draw intervals were offset by the decrease in sizes.
Let's see some figures:
The last 4 (Aug-Sept) draw sizes were 3264, 2991, 3035 & 2772 (twice below 3k) ITAs with CRS of 441, 433, 434 and 435 respectively.
Now compare that with April draw sizes of 3753, 3923 and 3665 with CRS of 431, 423 & 415 respectively.
Let's see also May with similar draw sizes of 3796, 3687 & 3877 with CRS of 423, 415 & 413 respectively.
Another factor is that the number of EE pool candidates has increased from an average of 50k in Apr-May to abt 58k averagely nowadays- more competition. Now you see why cut-off no gree drop further ba?
....
....
Sorry about the long post, just thought I should do a little analysis.
Cheers.

Thanks for this. I have researched on the subject with no clarity. Other financial professional should please advise. Really need to make the decision quickly.

May be a better option is to move the money into fixed deposit in a bank.

ARM Money Market is okay for proof of funds and it is very liquid. you can withdraw with a maximum of 48hrs notice

uptown17:

Isnt it money market fund/ mutual funds ? Cos on CIC website you can use Mutual funds. Also assuming you wana liquidate a part of the funds, how soon will ARM credit your bank account?

Hello everyone, I have been following this thread for sometime now and have really learnt alot. I would like to hear your thoughts on mine and hubby's profile and the best route to take to increase our chances.

ECA: ongoing with WES
Occupation : Lecturer (for 5years)
IELTS: RSLW 9, 7.5, 7.5, 6.5
Please do you think I should rewrite the IELTS or apply for a remark of the writing? This is the lowest I have ever scored in writing. My previous scores were 8 in academic writing and general.

Spouse's profile :

Thanks.

Good day. I think you should go for remark for both listening and writing. From previous thread the recommended score for listening is 8 and above. And your writing 7 and above. The gurus will still answer you. Good luck

Apply for EOR if your ielts is not more than 6weeks old after you received you results. Or you can as well rewrite the ielts to aim for LRSW: 8777.

1. Apply for remark if ur test was written within last 6 weeks AND also register for another test while awaiting your remark outcome.
2. Evaluate hubby's degree.

With an 8 in Listening and 7 in Writing plus hubby' ECA, your CRS will be 450 so you'll not be needing a provincial nomination to get ITA.

Algbenguze:

Okay thanks alot. Hubby's RN and BNSc are already being evaluated by WES it's stated in his profile that his report will be ready October 5th.

Hahahaha....

One can actaully do this? Nice. Cos I am in a bit of a dilemma on who would be the PA between DH and I. We have similar credentials and a one year age difference.

calfy:

It's not wrong. Whoever gets ITA first becomes the principal applicant.

After submitting ADR for Travel History yesterday night, I noticed an update...what stage am I now? As my coach has said, looks like IP1 but where is my Medical passed now? Everyone on the 6th is already passing medicals...mscheeew
