Canada’s first Express Entry draw of 2020 has issued 3,400 invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required to receive an invitation in the January 8 draw was 473.

The Express Entry system is Canada’s primary source of skilled foreign workers. It was introduced in 2015 to manage the pool of candidates for three of Canada’s three federal high-skilled immigration programs — the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class.

Eligible candidates for each program are issued a score under Express Entry’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which awards points for factors such as age, education, skilled work experience and proficiency in English or French.

While a job offer is not required in order to be eligible under the Express Entry system, the CRS does award additional points to candidates who have one.

A set number of the highest-scoring candidates are issued an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence (ITA) through regular draws from the pool, which typically take place every two weeks.

The Government of Canada has a processing standard of six months for permanent residence applications filed through the Express Entry system.

Canada has higher admissions targets for 2020 and 2021 for the various programs managed by the Express Entry system.

The target for new permanent resident admissions through the three federal high-skilled programs is slated to rise to 85,800 this year and 88,800 in 2021.



The target for Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), a portion of which is also managed by the Express Entry system, is set to rise to 67,800 in 2020 and 71,300 in 2021.

Nine Canadian provinces and two territories have what are known as “enhanced” PNP streams that are linked to the Express Entry system.

IELTS: Dec 1 2018
Me as PA-LRSW 8.5, 8.5, 7, 7
Spouse - LRSW 8, 6.5, 8, 6.5 3rd attempt
ECA- IQAS, (6months) April 2019

AOR: Sept 10 2019
ITA CRS : 472 (1 year NYSC Plus my self employed 2 years work experience to make it 3 years)
BIL: Sept 30
ADR : 19th December 2019 (Updated POF)
Family of 5
VO: Ottawa

NB: I used ‘we’ a lot because my husband was with me every step of the way. We always discussed and made decisions together.

The process of gathering documents was tedious so pardon me if I miss out some information because I may not remember entirely everything that transpired since 2018.



OUR STORY:

This Canada journey started in June 2018 when I wanted to do an MBA in UCW Vancouver. I got the admission with the help of a Nigerian Agent. The agent helped my brother in law in getting admission into a school in Germany also packaging his visa application and he got it so I guess that’s why we trusted him so much. Well, Canada isn’t Germany so I got the shock of my life when I got a denial. Infact it was after we submitted the visa application that I went on nairaland and realized we did not submit all the required documents. I started doubting I would get the Student Visa. Infact I got the denial in 3weeks. Like sharp sharp denial. The sad part of it was that we knew about Express Entry oo but when we asked the Agent, he shut it down immediately that only 1% of Nigerians get it. How naive we were. As they say every disappointment is indeed a blessing in disguise. After the Visa Refusal in October 2018, we started looking into Express Entry and by November 2018, we started the ECA Process.

ECA
We had started with Wes before I saw ‘Iphie’s posts’ on nairaland where she advised Lawyers to use IQAS especially if one doesn’t have Masters. So we also sent our documents to them and school. That’s how I ended up using both WES and IQAS. My hubby evaluated his Masters with WES alone. It was a stressful process getting law school to send my transcript to WES which made the time longer as we were hoping for two or more certificates. Thankfully IQAS came through after 6months.


IELTS
Wrote IELTS on Dec 1 2018, and I made it. Hubby wrote 3 times. I prepared a lot for the test because I had heard how difficult it could be. I didn’t even know the minimum score for Express Entry. I just wanted to smash all four modules. Writing and speaking was a bit of a challenge for me so I wasn’t surprised when I saw a 7 in both Modules. I used Baron and Ielts Liz to prepare.

WORK EXPERIENCE
Now this is where my ‘testimony’ lies brethren of Canada. I had read all the PPRs of persons who used the self employed route. But it wasn’t on all fours with mine because I owned a fully automated supermarket. When I started the business, I was still doing a bit of Law Practice. So from the onset, i made sure it was an incorporated Company, well staffed and well automated so I could run it on the side while practicing. Honestly, practice wasn’t bringing in the cash as much as the business so I stopped and focused on the supermarket.
When it was time to start the Express Entry Process, i read about all the requirements for the self employed route, but I was confused on how to get references from my customers. Yes there were regulars whom I could approach but it didn’t make sense that they would vouch that I was always there and prove 40hrs a week. I wasn’t ‘supplying’ to particular persons like most self employed people who got PPR. Just a normal supermarket where you pick your basket, shop and you’re cashed out, you get your receipt and you’re out the door. Only a handful knew me as the owner because I stayed in the inner office where I watched through the cameras. So Even if I was a Visa Officer, I would raise an eye brow that a customer would know my duties, how long I worked and what I earned. I contacted some seniors who got PPR through the self employed route and they sent me samples of their letters from Vendors and Customers (whom they supplied directly to on a contract basis). I also PMed @topsman, he adviced I write the letter myself. It may have been possible but it was a risk I wasn’t willing to take.
So I started by getting just one letter from my biggest Vendor. Infact his first Invoice reflected the date I started the business, so it seemed alright. He indicated when I started buying from him, my position in the company and my general duties as much as he knows. I submitted the letter and attached few invoices for 2 years.
The second letter was from my Accountant. He was the one who wrote a detailed reference letter indicating all my duties, working hours, my salary and how long I had been working (my husband suggested from the onset having a salary structure, instead of withdrawing money anyhow) it paid off. The accountant included how I had opened 2 more branches in 2 years just to prove that I was all hands on deck. We pinned the 3 shop locations on goggle map just in case they wanted to confirm anything out of the ordinary. It was written with my company’s letter head. I also submitted personal and company tax clearance certificates, (thank God I had been up to date) Certificate of Incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, a personal declaration stating I owned the business and how long I had been working just to boost the documents I had and finally company’s bank statement of account.

NYSC:
This one year should have been straight forward o since it was a legal department in a Parastatal but my madam at my PPA insisted I put the duties I actually performed which was more of a ‘paralegal’ than a Lawyer. No lawyer in the department actually goes to court. It was more of paperwork. So I had to chose NOC 4211 instead of 4112 for lawyers. Infact I was ready for a refusal based on this NOC because I didn’t see any Lawyer using 4211. But I could only match up my duties with 4211. I remember someone on nairaland asking about 4211 since he/she wasn’t going to court and giving any legal advice. I wanted to answer but who am I to say when I don’t even know if mine would work out. Am glad it worked out beautifully.
Secondly, our yeye Stream was from June to April but Certificate said April to April. Another wahala... because bank statement for both NYSC and PPA was showing 10months. My people, I printed both statements and did another personal declaration explaining I received cash the first two months. NB all the personal declarations were stamped in court. Just like an affidavit. My legal mind felt it would be stronger than an ordinary LOE. (Pardon me, Canada was a must o. We already had 2 visa refusals from Canada and France). Attached reference letter from PPA that said April to April. (Madam agreed to this one) and my NYSC Certificate to corroborate.

PCC
This was done at Louis Edet House Abuja (police Headquarters). It’s was very straight forward. We paid 10k each.

MEDICALS
Medicals was done at IOM Abuja. I had booked a week before ITA because I was sure we would get it. So we got there by 8am and finished by 12. Family of 5. I have a 5 year old and a set of twin boy and girl. These kids sang so much they had to attend to us sharp sharp even with the crowd. They were driving the nurses nuts..lol...



POF
We used our GTB joint account. Submitted letter from the bank in CIC format, Letter of indebtedness and the TBills Certificate. We had way over the minimum funds for a family of 5. Hence I was surprised to get an ADR for updated Proof of funds. I suspected it was because I didn’t submit bank statement of account.

THE WAIT
After evaluating all our documents, we decided to submit. AOR was Sept 10. I joined September AOR group through the link on Canada visa forum. Then September 30, got BIL. Found out my Visa Office was Ottawa on the 25th of October. I joined the Ottawa WhatsApp group through the link @ jjohndoe83 sent me. The group was amazing. Maybe because PPR was flying up and down. I can’t imagine what Accra Visa Office WhatsApp group would be like. May God grant them all their PPRs. Amen.
So by October, May AORers were getting PPR and that’s how it started coming down. I and @blissnenye had the same AOR on the group so when she got PPR I was overjoyed for her. ADR for Updated POF came and the letter said ‘in order to make a decision on your application’ .. I was happy and anxious at the same time. We sharply went to the bank got a new letter and printed bank statement of account and an LOE explaining how the funds have been moving from TBills to Mutual Funds. No declaration this time. It was a short letter with a table showing dates and the pages where it was reflected on the statement of account. I thought PPR would come after the Christmas holidays. It didn’t.
Thankfully my sister in law’s Trad was coming up in January so it was an opportunity to get my mind off the anxiety.
I kept checking my mail everyday sha hoping for something. The wedding was on the 6th and that Morning, I had lamented to my hubby . He kept saying calm down, it will come. Events of the day kept my hands off my phone till Tuesday when we returned back home. There was no network in the village sef so I couldn’t have gotten any mail.
3:45pm on Tuesday my younger daughter asked for my phone to see her pictures so I unlocked my phone for her and swiped to my picture folder. I wanted to click on the folder when my eye caught my email folder that showed I had like 6 new mails. I even thought it was daily POS transaction statements from the banks because I knew there were pending shop issues I had not attended to since we went to the village.
As I opened the mail folder, I saw the LOGO and Government of Canada. My people, the thought of visa refusal can be crazy so my eyes only decided to sift through the letter for either ‘Congratulations or we are sorry’, then I saw it.... I broke down in tears ... it was even dated 6th of January. It was sent since but because of Village network, I didn’t get it.

I am so thankful to God, my husband, my family, this group and every other group I learned from. It wasn’t a straight journey but we pulled through.
Page 1 and individual research is key.
Good luck to everyone in this journey.
May Canada Favor us all.

Hello friends, please advice

Gathered my POF with Accessbank (savings and gift deed)

Wanted investing treasury bills in access but too bureaucratic and time wasting. Transferred POF to sterling and did treasury bills there.

Submitted 6months account statements from access (showing POF buildup) , proof of transfer to sterling and treasury bills cert from Sterling. Also included were reference letters & non indebtedness from the two banks.

Treasury bills is matured now, and I decided to convert to dollar while awaiting PPR. Hence had to open new domiciliary account with access (original POF bank) and return funds there.

Now I'd like to ask,do I need to inform CIC of this new Dom ACC(with POF in dollar) or stay cool and wait probably PPR will come with previous info I submitted.

Huge Congratulations Mama, this is fantastic news

First off I want to say that you are a very thorough person. I can feel it from your story.
Thank you so so much for sharing your PPR story. It has answered a lot of questions for me. I think I was the one who asked about using NOC 4211 since that's what my JD fits into, I have always been attached as a research and executive assistant for senior lawyers in all places where I have worked save for this current one so I mostly do the paperwork while they do the court appearances.
Thanks for unknowingly answering my questions. May Canada prosper you
and your family beyond your imagination.

Thanks

Aww thank you so much. Yes it was you. I had wanted to reply you but was afraid of misleading you. Am glad I answered your question this time.
As long as you are convinced that your duties are on all fours with the NOC, you are good to go. May God grant you your heart desires. All the best.

Hello, good morning. Please i want to know if I can use the money I have in my microfinance bank account as POF. Or do i have transfer it to my commercial bank account.

Congratulations to everyone who got ITA+PPR.

Please house, I'm in a dilemma here.

I got ITA yesterday (through PNP nomination), but I'm not sure whether to accept it. This is because I edited my profile two days ago. I didn't want to claim points for my spouse's education anymore since we already got nomination and there's no ECA for it. Although, the new update was saved and transmitted, but my crs points did not reflect the new change (its still giving me points for spouse's education). Only for me to get ITA yesterday, making my profile locked for now.

should I:

1) go ahead and accept this ITA. If i do, how do I convince the Visa officer about not wanting points point for the education
2) decline the ITA and wait for the points new points to be updated in the profile

PS: please bear in mind that removal of 10 points for spouse's education leaves me with 953 crs points which is above the cutoff for this draw.

Hello House,

POF was in the account at the point of submitting the document (cash), however, after doc submission, it was invested in TB.

will there be an issue, does CIC normally check to see if the funds is there? will i need to update CIC that funds has been converted to TBILLS?

pLEASE help to clarify.

Thanks.

You really did and I am still very grateful. I definitely understand your hesitation at the time. I will confidently choose 4211 now and get my reference letters to that effect. Thank you so much for all the good wishes and Amen to your prayers.

Why did you include her education in the first place, when she doesn't have ECA? Where did you see the ECA number you used? The truth is that you might not have gotten the provincial nomination if you didn't include her ECA in the first place because provincial nomination is NOC and point driven most time. I will advise you decline the ITA.
