Abby2017:
Haba oga, this your high hope no be small thing o

Don't mind me joor. See as MummyJaygirls wan put person on "high jump"

Abby2017:
Interesting speed! And why do I feel this person did upfront medicals about 2days before submission

"2 days"? Or you meant "20 days"?

MummyJaygirls:
Someone with AoR May 27 got medical passed

Interesting! Any idea of the applicant's marital status, number of dependants and travel history?

*Modified

Never mind. I read that as "PPR" (medical passed)

I think you should still try the online application, I know someone that used it very recently and got his transcript delivered to Lagos about a week after applying. I only don't know of it was during the strike. BTW, lautech hasn't been on strike for a year, they resumed briefly before the current one which according to the info I have, it's only ASUU, doesn't include nasu and ssanu which are the ppl processing transcript.
I just think you should make a move first before jumping into conclusion.
40manlappy can also advise better.

The strike affected non-academic staff too.

Can someone else opine on the above question? Anyone who has gone thru this stage before, did you upload both the certificate and the form that all your finger prints?

What have you got to lose by uploading the 3 pages?

Greetings

I happen to be a cinematographer, programmer and business oriented person with steady income in the past 3 years of which i think i can work with from anywhere around the world without interferance (just that i mostly have to be paid by my Nigerian account). I am researching and seeking to relocate to Canada as soon as possible.

Though the agent I am about to use says I should try securing a US visa first but i don't know if maybe it can be acquired directly more easily.

Please can you give a tip or guildiance ?

You neither need an agent nor a US visa. Go to the link below;

At the expense of sounding silly, i need a clarification(if any one can offer it here).
. if they have your siblings details at the point they traveled showing that you are a sibling.isnt that proof enough. Need to obtain birth certs?

Think about this: Did your sibling upload your birth certificate along with his/her application? Even if he/she did, imagine if VOs have to check that fact for every applicant that has claimed points through a relative considering the volume of applications at hand? Above all, it is a basic requirement from IRCC which I don't think is too difficult to obtain.

It simply makes the job easy for them. Besides, IMO, they can always verify your documents against that of your relative should the need arise.

omesanni:
Hi,
I am claiming points for my sister who resides in canada. One of the documents I have to provide is proof of relationship to my sister. Here's an excerpt from CIC website:


Proof of the relationship of the applicant or the accompanying spouse or common-law partner to the family member must also be provided (e.g., a birth certificate, an official document naming the applicant as a relative, a copy of the inside back cover of the relative’s passport showing the relative’s parents’ marriage

I plan on using a birth certificate but I want to know if the birth certificate supposed to be my sister's or do i have to also provide mine. I will appreciate to her from anyone who claimed points for a relative in canada

It is reasonable to provide both, yours and sister's. That should prove that you both have same parents because their names will be on the documents.

Thank you@40manlappy

Welcome. Please check my post again. I have modified my initial comment.

Hello house I am the P.A and I don't want to include my spouse Work experience while filling the express entry application PRE-ITA to avoid the hassle of employers reference for him.

Will putting a nil work experience for my husband amount to misrepresentation?

**Modified

No.

Spousal work experience doesn't add any points so you can put "nil" in your EE profile pre-ITA and move his work experience to "personal history" section in your e-APR post-ITA without having to provide employer's reference.

NB: Information that you supply in your EE profile will be automatically populated in your e-APR upon acceptance of ITA. So you can always put the work experience under "personal history" section without the fear of misrepresentation.

I recently collected Police certificate from Alagabon and they gave me a certificate along with the form I filled which has all my finger prints and passport photo. I thought it was weird that they gave me the form.

Now I want to find out if I have to upload the certificate and the form with all my fingerprints(in the document checklist) because am confused as to why they'll give me form in addition to the certificate.

I have uploaded all my documents and am about to pay and this just crossed my mind and so i want to make sure am safe

It is in order. Upload the two as a single file (cert+form).

Thanks for sharing @Blackbuddy

cheapphones:
Now we're more confused than when we first began!

You shouldn't be.

Save for some private universities, Nigerian institutions are infamous for not responding to external enquiries on time. So if yours fall into the latter, you may be better off with IQAS.

Unlike WES, IQAS doesn't bother to contact institutions once they get transcripts from them directly which explains why they were the choice of many applicants. However, their processing times has increased in recent times. Read on this thread that is now about 30 days!

If you attended a private, foreign or any other university with some level of sanity, WES may be an option to consider. Some level of follow-up doesn't hurt anyway.

In summary, take your choice!

Ballerz:
Last activity was Feb. Not much of an engaged forum.

Look again

codebrew85:
Boss, based on your recommendation, which would you advice if I'm evaluating my OOU degree? WES or IQAS?

It's a tough one in view of current processing times but I think you should take Dammiehar's advice i.e. go for IQAS.

esosa4real:
See warning...lol

Oya check page 2

Bimpsy99:
30 days Na wa o. I guess the only advantage they have is that they would usually not verify a Nigerian certificate if they are convinced it is authentic.. Anyone that wants to verify a foreign certificate please use WES jejely

On point! Obviously, the "whole world" has ported to IQAS. Foreign degree holders are definitely better off with WES.

In addition, anyone whose school traditionally takes forever to respond to external enquiries (such as WES) should jejely use IQAS.

Be careful! The job functions are there to guide you. YOU MUST NOT COPY THEM WORD FOR WORD. Your boss should write your job functions in his own word but it must match closely to at least 70% of the job function of the NOC you have chosen.

I will advise you to read, don't rush, do your research so that you will not do things that will amount to misrepresentation or denial.

@mokaz

In addition, hope your supervisor's business card will not contradict the NOC code that you chose unless of course, it can be proven​ that the man has changed roles as well. It might not be easy to believe that a Cash Officer supervised a Commercial Banking Officer!

The point below is instructive for all intending applicants. The case leading to the decision was discussed extensively on page 327.

This Court has, moreover, repeatedly affirmed that visa officers have no obligation to notify applicants of inadequacies in their applications, or in material provided in support of applications: Hamza v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2013 FC 264 at para 24, 429 F.T.R. 93. What the duty of fairness does require is that officers provide applicants with the opportunity to respond to concerns related to the “credibility, accuracy or genuine nature” of information submitted: Obeta v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2012 FC 1542 at paras. 20-26, 424 F.T.R. 191.

Hi,
Just woke up to see that the document checklist for me has being updated following the two day maintenance cic was doing. One new checklist for me is proof that my sister resides in canada and an example of the document to show is a copy of bank statement or utility bill showing the relative's address. Now previous to them updating the checklist, I tried collecting my sister's bank statement and she said that it has her old address and that she cannot give me because she doesn't want her sensitive information out there like that. She then gave me her cell phone bills which has her current address on it and a letter from her employer saying she's employed by the company and works out of their vancouver office.

Now, I don't know if I can use these two documents as my proof that she resides in canada given that its not one of the example documents stated in checklist. I also don't know if cell phone bills count as utility bills in canada because I know generally utility bills are normally gas and electric. I also tried to get gas or electric bill from her but she lives with a friend and the gas/electric bills as well as the lease are all in her friend's name since she's the renter of the house.

Am curious to know from anyone who has gone through this process and has a relative who is permanently residing in canada, what documents they sent as proof of their relative residing in canada and whether or not the documents i currently have for this is okay.

The phone bill suffices. That is what my BIL provided to support our application.

Even banks accept phone bills for proof of address as part of "Know Your Customer" (KYC) documentation.

And you get 10 years US visa as a PR pending when you switch to Citizenship.

Please provide clarification on the applicable visa.
