Oh, how do I do this?

It is your Entry Entry profile with which you secured ITA that you can no longer edit. When you accept your ITA, information from your Express Entry profile are automatically populated on the e-APR form (electronic Application for Permanent Residence). At that point, before payment and submission of your application, you should be able to edit your details.

Just ensure that you do not tamper with key information that gave you points for the ITA.

bigfido:
Made the mistake already. I should have just left the previous work history

I assume that you are yet to submit e-APR. In that case, you can still amend your details before submission and claim work experience for only 2008-2013.

Details can be amended post-ITA. It's your choice really.

Nice share @TheCongo2

By the way, I didn't see anything wrong with your English.

@all To what extent does not being bilingual limit one's potentials, especially for an English-speaker?

Hoping to reside in Ottawa though....

I raised a CSE to include scanned copies of my ECA and IELTS result. I just got an e-mail response saying that the documents have been received and sent to the responsible office. Just to confirm, is that an okay response? Is there any need to do anything further

"Okay response". This is the response that you have been waiting for. Now you can relax

salford1:
haha...that kind of topic breaks the nairaland server everytime they come one...with pidgin on one side and maternal on the other side...

Lol @"breaks Nairaland server"

I remember the maternal vs pidgin debate on the other thread. Insightful though

amyames:
Hi MummyJaygirls. I'm in the same situation too - no mailing address in my PPR email. You said "most likely Accra". Have you seen any situation where it is somewhere else? Just want to confirm before I send mine off. Thanks.

Hello, please will Accra visa office send a mail when they get the passport?

No. You are not likely to get any communication from them until pick-up mail.

If you had used DHL, delivery can be tracked online.

damilola1978:
Thanks. I thought I still needed like an introductory/reference letter from the treasury dept of the bank stating the number treasury bills transactions I have running and the gross value of all of them.

Please check "Proof of Fund" section on page 0. Cheers

Looping: perks

E-family, please can we all refrain from quoting long posts i.e. "epistles"?

It makes the thread longer. Besides, vital information may be missed by those seeking it.

Rather than quote the whole "epistle" just to respond to someone, one or two lines will do. We can also just mention the moniker/username of the person that we want to respond to and he/she will be notified.

Thanks in advance for our expected cooperation.

@40manlappy, I hv PM u. Kindly reply

I have replied you twice. Please check your inbox again.

@salford1 @dupyshoo

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Seems UK trounces Canada in some areas, especially for someone who has lived in the former.

DereI:
Hello e-Family, kindly advice.

Should I apply for a remarking or re-register for Ielts?

L - 8
W - 7.5
S - 7.5
R- 7.5

Has anyone been lucky to get an upgrade in Listening?

If I am not mistaken, you already have CLB 9 with this. Congratulations!

What are you waiting for? If you have gotten ECA, take a dive into the pool already

Ovatuwazza:
Hello everyone,
I received my PPR this week. We thank God. I've been told I need to add a cover letter explaining that my family composition has not changed since I applied when sending my passport. Does anyone have a sample please

You may wish to consider the sample below. Feel free to edit to your taste.

High Commission of Canada
Accra.

Dear Sir/Ma.

As requested, find attached the international passports, passport photograph and filled biodata form for:

Name (Principal applicant)
Name of
(Spouse)

Name of (Dependent)

Name of ( Dependent)
Name of
(Dependent).

Thanks for your services.

Regards,

Name
Principal applicant

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN MY FAMILY CONFIGURATION

@linaskreat A similar issue was just discussed on the previous page (78). Please read up on this and other posts to assist with your application. Cheers

@primeson1 Congrats on your IELTS results.

@Issyman Please consider a remark. All the best!

Congratulations to all new PPR recipients

@Canadianfly Thanks for the detailed information

Canadianfly:
Don't get me started on phone contracts and mobile companies in Canada. Let's just say when I got to Canada, it took me two weeks to settle for a phone plan. Canada is a special place lol

Please enlighten me about the phone plan matter

elfmann:
Bro, abt faxing to WES one's certificate with hellofax.com, how do they do it? It is not mine but how do they know it is u? Is it in order to write reference number on the faxed page which the scanbed copy if one's cert or in a separate page? Making it two pages! I used NIPOST when I did mine.

Bros, guess your friend has been able to sort this out?

Temas:
Good day.. my situation is different. Wiffey is yet to get international passport. We have been married since 2016 ( no official change of name yet) I am concern on which name to use on her passport. Except for marriage certificates( ikoyi registry) all other documents carries her maiden name.

As stated earlier by others, it is your choice really. However, if you intend to go with her "new name", you can note the following tweets from IRCC.

yimiton:
Hello guys, remember how we went on and on about uploading or not uploading IELTS result being that there is no place holder for the requirement?

I just stumbled across it on the CIC website that you are required to upload the result otherwise, your application will not be processed.

Thanks to everyone that advised that I should raise a CSE, otherwise, I might have been telling a story that touch at some point.

Thanks for sharing this important piece of information. Intending applicants should take note. The fact that some might have had a seamless processing without uploading it should not make it the norm.

Remxyj:
Network is messing with me.... Google IMM5406 that's additional family information form then google IMM008. Fill online and print to sign.

@40manlappy

Please how do I get the forms listed below:

☐ UPDATED FAMILY INFORMATION: You must advise us of any change in your marital status or family composition. All family members must be listed on your IMM008 and Additional Family Information forms. Failure to comply may result in a delay in the issuance of your visa.

These forms were not attached. Was it same requirement for you? Did you have to submit both forms?

Thanks for the assistance

"Additional Family Information" was not part of the requirement for me. It is either a new requirement or it is specific to your situation.

Couldn't fill the IMM008 completely so I supported it with a cover letter and wrote boldly that there has been no changes in my family composition. Experience shows that either is acceptable especially if your family composition has not changed. Interestingly, some have submitted without including the IMM008 and yet no issues since their family configuration remains unchanged but there is no harm in playing safe.

@Remxyj: Kindly share the links to the two forms. Thank you

Bimpsy99:
My testimony is here people. Jesus did what he only can do. Woke up to see the PPR.

Once again, congratulations! I am so happy to share in your joy. God bless you and yours too.

May we flourish in our new homeland

Dewys1:
Good people of nairaland, I need your counsel. So I am about to start ECA for wifey. Now the issue.
1. We got married in 2014, but we later found out that the marriage certificate we were given was a Local govt own and thus we may not be able to travel with it.
2. With the new status, wifey obtained her international passport in 2015 bearing the new surname
3. In 2016 we went to Federal marriage registry Ikoyi to have a registry wedding where we got the federal certificate.
4. Now the issue is this: she has started bearing the new surname on her intl passport before the wedding date on the federal certificate.

I hope that will not cause an issue with the ECA and most importantly with the CIC application.

Pls help to dissect

I don't think you should worry too much about the ECA; that can be explained in your PR application. In my opinion, a properly worded letter of explanation and/or affidavit should take care of the above concerns. Please let others also weigh in on this....

[quote author=Abby2017 post=59996885][/quote]Thanks for sharing

Just to clarify the "highest qualification" issue with a practical experience as requested: My wife (the PA) evaluated her highest qualification only with IQAS and got the full points for skill transferability. This is consistent with IRCC's guidelines.

Wish you success in your next move.

My beautiful people... my fellow nairalanders... God has done it for me.
Thanks to all the people God used and will continue to use in this thread.
PPR at last!!!

Congrats!

Yewwygraceful:
PPR rain today, congratulations guys.

I guess Percee17 has helped debunk the rumour that intensive travel history affects accelerated processing.

CIC is unpredictable guys, let's just pray for favor over our applications.

Debunked long ago sis

You are spot on regarding their unpredictability. The more one tries to understand CIC's processes, the more confused one can become.

@percee17 Congrats on your PPR

Java47:
Cos the initial mail that came in didn't state.

It may not have mentioned it explicitly but Nigerian applicants are to go through Accra Visa Office. You might have noticed terms like "VFS Nigeria" or "VFS Nigeria". Cheers

SpecimenXY:
Please I need a clarification on use of T-Bill as PoF especially as regards the 6-month validity rule (please indulge me should this sound silly).

Is it that:

A. I must have had the T-Bills for 6 months before accepting ITA

OR

B. I should buy a bill with minimum 6 months validity immediately after ITA?

Thank you.

My observation;

-Not aware of any requirement of 6 months validity on Treasury Bills
-There are people that have submitted as POF Tbills that they did just before AOR and have gotten PPR.
-It is clear that IRCC accepts Tbills as POF without reference to the tenor. However, many applicants "play safe" by doing 3-6 months Tills and/or submitting a bank statement.

It appears that you have this idea because of IRCC's requirement of 6 month average balance for a statement of account. However, I haven't come across any information that they stipulate tenor for Tbills. You can do what you feel comfortable with. Cheers!

@ANBAKO: Good to have you back on the thread.

@Abby2017: Congratulations!

He can add his pension statement to cover the balance.

Exactly what I was thinking considering a difference of 5%. I would rather go with that option than take a risk with the statement. How far?

cc: Kontagious

@ken2sure: Please refer to "FAQs" on page 0 regarding suggestions on using pension statement as support for POF.

mzjennypher:
@40manlappy 1212 is my current role.

You can go with 1212 which happens to be 2 years and incidentally, your current job role.

You may even be able to claim 3 years when you eventually get your work reference letter subject to how your JD is worded. This will give you the maximum points under Express Entry.

ken2sure:
Thanks for the response. The credits for the loan amount would appear on my bank statement with the narration accordingly. Though I intend using treasury bills as my POF cos 95%of my fund are in there (more than 6months old ofcourse), the fact that it will appear on my payslip and SOA is the issue here.

I agree with @ugoiyke79e that you should upload only your 6 months Tbills as your POF. This should not even require a bank reference letter which would be necessary if you submit a SOA.
