If it's possible to do the Treasury Bills in her name, going forward, it will be better. You have less hassles with CIC sniffing round disparities that may occur in the average balance of each month for the 6months history required(which mostly applies to Savings and Current Accounts). With FD and TBills, just write a letter of explanation to show it is the two she's using cuz it appears a lot of case officers just pick one out of the two when there's nothing saying the two are used together, which may result in they concluding you don't have sufficient money.

Hope this helps?

phensbassey:
am not sure I fit I. that category

KuliMart:
Out of stock.

We have Xiaomi redmi note 3

Godswillnwaoma:
1. Camera: must be 13mp upword and 5mp front selfie camera.


2. Battery: must be 300mahh above.


3. Screen size: any thing les 5.0 is ok for me.

4. RAM: must be above 1gb


5. Prize: the economy is hard and harsh so the prize must be less than 50k.

dupyshoo:
Congrats on your ITA.

With regard to your reference letter from your employer, I don't think it matters if it is either of the 2. Mine was addressed to "To whom" though.

Once the FD matures, transfer it to your wife's account but you will have to write a letter of explanation and also include the bank statement of your wife showing details of the transfer. In the letter, you should state that the money is a gift and that you have no intention to collect the money back.

Nsonaso:
No Xiaomi or Meizu phone with those spec that will be sold at that range.

Gionee M5 mini is the only one in your price range but considering the price and the God forsaken spec, I can't recommend it to anyone. I will recommend Infinix Hot Note 2GB RAM version.

But if you want to go outside the box You try Dodge Homtom HT7 Pro 5.5, 4G, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 3000mAh battery 28k5.

Youngzedd:
To me, infinix is for dummies.

Nsonaso:
Note: the notification center on the picture above is on MIUI V5. In V6 and V7, the notification is transparent

Nsonaso:
Why will infinix be the better?

acenazt:
Infinix isn't in the same class with the other phone brands not even the same school

Xhaka:
Both phones are great
But there are better phones that goes for almost the same price

JesusDWay:
CIC does not require the fund to be 6months old, they just want 6months history(mostly for those using Savings or Current Account), the balance at 6months when you are submitting whatever you are using as pof is what matters so, your gift deed is not required to be 6months old.

SlowlybtSurely:
,
You're welcome.

SlowlybtSurely:
They automatically select.

They are taking a break now though. Prolly trying to clear their backlog. No one knows when they will resume.

mrflo231:
with 425 u should be able to get ontario nominee entry given to anyone above 400 score

Youngzedd:
Everything is wrong with the phone, I give away one , using the other one as WiFi.

You can only get that Xiaomi and other Chinese brands from Kulimart.com

Youngzedd:
After buying two Gionee phones, I swore never to buy the brand again.

Youngzedd:
Funniest post of the day.

That's not true, Xiaomi is among top brand that produce light weight phones.

My Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro weight is light even though it has 4000mah

showlaw:
Xiaomi are really trying, They've really upped their game. nobody warn carry last

dupyshoo:
All glory to God!!!! I just got PPR!!!!! I am so excited.

dupyshoo:

dupyshoo:

stevespack:

Since the Express Entry selection system for immigration to Canada was first introduced in January, 2015, candidates have speculated about the make-up of the pool, but no candidate ever fully knew its structure. Now, since the recent publication of an enlightening Express Entry report, the inner workings of the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) can be revealed.

The year-end report covers the period from January 1, 2015 to January 3, 2016, which takes into account the first 23 draws from the pool. A data extract (or ‘snapshot’) from the pool was provided, revealing a view of the pool on January 3, 2016.

Through the report, we learned the following:
As of January 3, a total of 191,279 Express Entry profiles had been submitted. Of these, 88,048 were found not eligible because they did not meet the criteria of at least one of the three programs managed by the system, namely the Federal Skilled Worker Class, the Federal Skilled Trades Class, and the Canadian Experience Class. On January 3, a total of 1,303 profiles were pending due to Job Bank registration or verification of a Provincial Nomination (PN).

A total of 63,937 candidates were in the pool on January 3. Of these, 3,895 had received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) but had not yet submitted an application (candidates have 60 days to do so after receiving an ITA).
Of the profiles that had left the pool, the overwhelming majority (21,651) were applications that had been submitted for processing. Other profiles had either been withdrawn or reached the 12-month expiry date.

Active candidates in the Express Entry pool have the opportunity to increase their likelihood of receiving an ITA by improving their CRS score.

This can be done by:
gaining additional work experience;
completing a level of education;
improving language proficiency in English and/or French; and/or
adding a spouse or common-law partner’s language proficiency and/or level of education, if applicable.

In addition, candidates may:
obtain a qualifying job offer from a Canadian employer; or
obtain an enhanced provincial nomination certificate from a Canadian province.

Candidates with a qualifying job offer or PN are awarded 600 CRS points, and will be invited to apply at a subsequent draw from the pool. Draws typically occur around every two weeks, with the lowest CRS point requirement of any draw thus far having been 450. When a draw takes place, candidates with a CRS score equal to or above the requirement are issued an ITA, after which they may submit an application. Once they do so, they leave the pool. Therefore, the number of candidates with a score equal to or above the most recent CRS ‘cut-off’ point is generally relatively low, as there is a constant flow of people leaving the pool due to the submission of applications.

Take, for example, the January 3, 2016 snapshot of the pool provided by IRCC. The draw prior to this snapshot took place on December 18, 2015, and issued 1,503 ITAs to candidates with 460 or more CRS points.

On January 3, 2016, a total of 851 candidates had 600 or more CRS points. All candidates with 600 or more CRS points had either a qualifying job offer or PN.
A further 1,659 candidates had between 450 and 599 points. These candidates had been awarded a significant number of points based on their human capital factors.

Assuming that none of these candidates withdrew their profiles or allowed them to expire over the three days before the next draw from the pool, which took place on January 6, 2016, all of the candidates with 600 or more CRS points, as well as a proportion of those in the 450 to 599 range, were issued ITAs.

The candidates remaining in the pool, many of whom had CRS scores in the 300s, were in a strong position to get into that 450+ range by promoting themselves to Canadian employers and attracting the attention of provinces that are looking for particular skill sets that may benefit the local labour market. Other candidates were well-positioned to obtain an ITA as a result of improving their human capital factors alone.

In a comprehensive and informative report, Immigration, Citizenship and Refugees Canada (IRCC, formerly known as CIC) has provided valuable insights on the first 12 months of the Express Entry selection system for immigration to Canada, which came into operation on January 1, 2015.

The end-of-year report provides a range of highly useful information for Express Entry candidates for immigration to Canada. The data given in the report covers the entirety of 2015, encompassing the first 23 draws (also known as rounds of invitations), while also providing a snapshot of the composition of the pool taken from a data extract on January 3, 2016. CICNews.com has published a series of articles analyzing this report. In addition to this article, there are also articles covering Canadian provinces and the Comprehensive Ranking System.

Over the course of 2015, a total of 31,063 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) were issued to individuals around the world looking to immigrate to Canada. Through the report, we learned the following:
Many candidates in IT occupations have been issued ITAs, while individuals working in the food service industry have also fared well.
The majority of candidates issued ITAs were residing in Canada.
More than half of all invited candidates were nationals of one of the following five countries: India, Philippines, China, the U.K., and Ireland.
IRCC has stated that ‘Future invitation rounds from the Express Entry pool will become the main source of applications to meet annual immigration levels targets for certain economic immigration programs under the Express Entry system as the older inventories are reduced.’

Focus on occupations
In the run-up to the launch of Express Entry, the government of Canada stated that the new system would ensure that Canada’s economic and labour market needs are met. For the Express Entry system, as compared with previous systems, intake caps for specific occupations were done away with.

Express Entry is intended to be a flexible system that is more responsive to the immediate needs of Canadian employers and provinces. As such, eligible candidates who obtain a qualifying job offer (supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment) or provincial nomination certificate are issued an ITA at a subsequent draw from the pool, regardless of their occupation. It should be noted, however, that a job offer is not required in order for a candidate to receive an ITA. Indeed, at least 40% of all ITAs issued in 2015 were issued to candidates who did not have a job offer.

IT professionals (NOCs beginning with 21) and business and finance professionals (NOCs beginning with 11) have been successful at obtaining ITAs. According to IRCC, these candidates often have high human capital with no valid job offer, while candidates with NOCs beginning with 63 are more likely to have first arrived in Canada on a work permit and later obtained a job offer.

Given that early draws selected a large number of candidates under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), it is likely that a large number of food service supervisors and cooks already in Canada were invited over the first few rounds of invitations. As time goes on, the relative number of invitees in such occupations is expected to decrease; the figures heading into 2016 and beyond will likely reveal a wider range of occupations, particularly in professional occupations such as IT and business.

irondome:
I am not sure they would still hit the 450 mark. You have to take into consideration points lost on age. They dropped some points with language test as well, irrespective of her fantastic score.

In my own opinion, getting into Canada without PNP is increasingly getting difficult. Too much priority is being given to international students and those with Canadian work experience.
