I tried downloading the IMM008 form with no success. I then went ahead to submit our passports a week ago without it because my family composition has not changed. I recently started feeling like i submitted incomplete documents especially since i have not been able to download the forms to compare their contents. My questions are,
Is the IMM008 form the same as the ADDITIONAL FAMILY REQUEST FORM?
Am i still on track without me including the form?- you stated you also didn't (I want to be sure that I'm not misinterpreting you)
Thank you in advance.






So a little update guys...after an excruciatingly long weekend, I’ve finally collected my passport And COpr. Whew!I decided to call their helpline first sha.
FYI, I didn’t fill/submit IMM008 cos I thought it was unnecessary since my family composition didn’t change. However, I wrote a very brief letter to that effect.
Another thing to note, I’m still waiting for PUM and SMS. So in my opinion, that SMS fee is unnecessary. Don’t pay for it. They wouldn’t even tell you about it, you’ll just see it on your receipt. When they bill you tell them you don’t want SMS updates. It’s a little amount but it’s still worth saving, since paying for it is useless... just my opinion sha.
Good luck to everyone still waiting at different stages, it will end in praise!

You aren't wasting your time biko, so many of us (even with application submitted) come here daily just to read you guys responses to queries so we can help others on WhatsApp groups and in real life. You have added so much to the wealth of knowledge we have on Express Entry and if it has ever crosssed your mind that you are maybe wasting time on this thread, cast out that thought please. Much love

Shyee:
The same tone elfmannisback used when I asked similar question sometime in August.

daks01:
Issabit tricky o. You can write a strongly worded LOE and then write a letter of stating your JD(notarised) add all those other docs (which I assume contains almost all the info IRCC request for). Then pray you get a leninent VO.
But I would advice that you try and beg someone in your org to help even if it’s your colleague. In my case The ref letter I got from my HR had k leg (and they weren’t willing to issue another one) so I just abandoned it and went to beg one Oga to write it for me and I added all her details(it took a while to find someone willing to) so maybe you should try.

IF your application is complete THEN Biometric Instruction Letter and/or Medical Passed Else ADR

Successfully read the threads and couldn't but marvel at several contributions and commitments we have here. In fact, if our so called leaders had only been 40% responsive like we are here, I bet many of us won't want to elope to cannyland.
Anyways, I am saving my stories till when the thing go sweet to talk but trust me, it's one u've never heard b4 and would simply read over again(lol).
May all our wishes come TRUE!

Interesting. Carry me along on that story please. We like amebo here

Plain paper (she’s not authorised to use letterhead) but I notarised it, added her business card and ID card.

iPopAlomo:
For some reason... which I can't explain... WES don't receive email verification of some schools...

Now that your school falls into this category...

Take the following steps...
1. Tell your school to send the verification via courier

2. pay for the courier services, DHL and the likes...

3. obtain the tracking number and monitor the mail yourself...

That's about that... your ECA would be ready in less than 20 work days...

You see? Another page 1 something. Thanks for sharing. 1 more Alomo for you to pop.

Hello all,

I just paid for spouse's ECA with ICES, but prior to paying, I didn't upload her student copy of her school's transcript, because it's not ready yet, but what's giving me major concern now is that her certificate isn't ready, but she has a statement of degree results, and I sent an email to ICES asking if this can suffix and they said no..what to do?

tosbuk:
Please can a medical personnel get his document evaluated with WES? Someone said another body does that for medical personnel

mcstan18:


I saw what you did there boss. That programming language.

ontarioissauga:

It wasn't a complete iteration, else rejection. No one wants that but it happens.

If-Then-Else. What else is missing?

Your answer lies in Matthew 17:12
But I say unto you, That Elias elfmannisback is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed...

Now you know.

If-Not, ADR or REJECTION.. Stop

So I had my medicals yesterday at IOM Ikeja, Lagos. The whole process from entering the premises to exit took about 2hours 30minutes.

This is not a long post.

CanadianNaija:


Let's not encourage laziness, the thread is full because people won't read but ask same questions over and over.

The fact that he's new should spur him to start reading from page 1.

I was a newbie that read from the very first thread and caught up on the third, and I have been following till now.

You are embarking on a journey, and going in blind, what's to encourage about that?

Maybe as countrymen we need to encourage each other to develop some form of reading culture.

How do you jump on a thread this long and start commenting without finding out what's its about? In finding out, his/her question would have been answered.

bankyh1905:
That depends on the request of the evaluating agency but I think all of them require the school to send the transcript directly. Even if that was the case, I don't trust UI PG school to do the needful.

I salute them for getting the transcript ready in one week and sending it via courier immediately. Since then, for 3 months now, they've been a thorn in my flesh - WES sent a request (both email and standard mail) for secondary verification of result (the disadvantage of having studied in Nigeria) but UI PG School claims they didn't receive any request in my name, not even the email. How's that even possible? I called WES to confirm that they sent the request and they said YES. If you ask me, I believe WES not UI. I'm caught in between now. I've had to pay an extra 78 CAD for courier to fast track the process. I'm still waiting.

So, please, don't rely on UI's mailing system - it's unreliable.

Oluwadoromi:
Dear Canada hopefuls,

Thanks for the details on this thread, such a meticulous work from various contributors. Thanks for all you do here. We will profit by getting our PR in Jesus' Name.

I am working on my documents before ITA, My CRS is 421, any hope?

I just entered the pool and I need direction regarding reference letter from former employer.

My employer would not do a 'To whom it may concern' letter. In this case, who should the letter be addressed to?

Another question: my transcripts were processed by ETX, how do I get a copy ready for ITA without paying any additional fees to ETX?
