At once = gift deed.

Thanks for your response. Can the whole POF be gift deed? Also, can it be sent 2 weeks to when l submit my application?
Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by JMG12: 3:42pm On Feb 08
Don't bother yourself about the exchange rate, provided the statement of account you submitted has the required amount. Close balance which is the date you print to doesn't reflect your actual balance when your application will be considered and your acct verified. Just make sure your SOA is accurate.
MrBnet:
Hello Gurus,

I hope everyone's doing great. I need your advice on a situation I'm facing. So, I submitted my Express Entry application yesterday and got my AOR not long after. But, for the past week, the exchange rate has been all over the place. I had 12M saved up and planned to submit on the 1st of Feb when the rate was 16,442 according to Oanda. I couldn't submit that day, and to my surprise, the next day the rate had dropped to 13,474.1. Omo, I was shocked! I had to add an extra 1M to make it 13M and submitted yesterday with the rate at 14,636.4 at the time of submission.

Then this morning, I wake up to see that the same 13M is now valued at 13,669.4, which is below the required rate. And at this point, predicting the rate for when my application is reviewed is just impossible. So, I'm considering converting all my funds to dollars and putting it in a domiciliary account, then raising a CSE to inform them that due to the exchange rate fluctuations, I had to convert all my funds to dollars and would like to submit the dollar account as the new proof of funds.

Can anyone confirm if this approach will be acceptable, especially since I'm already Post-AOR?

Thanks a lot for your help!

While this is true, it doesn't stop the money from depreciating as at the time IRCC reviews the application. If you didnt include snapshots of the conversion rate you used, they will compare the amount you submitted to the CAD value as at the date of review.

If it falls below threshold, they will ask for an updated bank statement.

Good evening great minds,

I am reaching out to seek advice and guidance from anyone who has experience with obtaining a World Education Services (WES) evaluation for immigration purposes (CANADA), specifically for transcripts from the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA).

Each time I attempt to access the FUTA e-transcript page, I am met with a login screen, and I find myself unsure of how to proceed further in the process. If anyone has navigated this process successfully and can offer a step-by-step guide or any tips based on their experience, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Thanks

✓Please can one withdraw an application at AOR stage without losing the application fees?

✓For applicants who did upfront medical test for FSW in August,2023 but got ITA and AOR say five months after...Any possibility of IRCC extending the medical test??

Please, about what you wrote here, I submitted with 9m in December and as at then it was over 15k cad... Then 18th January, I topped up with a million and raised Web form, in cad it was about 15k...
But right now, it is 14m for a single applicant.
At the time I submitted, I added the conversion screenshot and I did same in January.
I have been worried because I have exhausted all my savings embarassed

As at today, it is about 14.5m, using XE.

IRCC completeness (R10) and eligibility check (A11.2) is usually done within a month of submission (as per my own application. It is longer for others). This is where they check POF and all for eligibility. (Try registering on the PR application tracker to monitor this, if you haven't).

If you attached the screenshots in the two submissions, I think you can wait for their ADR/feedback if they need an updated POF at this point.

It can be really tiring trying to keep up with this POF thing. Its unfortunate you have to go through this coz of the bad Nigerian economy.

Has anyone has success using statement of account from investment apps like Bamboo and Risevest for their POF?

PS: the money is in stocks.
Sometimes searching through the thread could find you your answer. Just use the search tool.

Good morning my people. I just got ITA last 2 weeks but I have few challenges with my POF. I have few questions to ask and all responses are greatly appreciated.

1. Can an investment certificate be tenable as POF?
2. If yes, does it have to have matured before your travel date?
3. Will it be tenable at the point of entry or will it be an issue?
4. If I decide to use a gift deed, does my sponsor need to show their account statement and does it have to be a family member?

Thanks in adv

At long last…
ITA RECEIVED 🎉💃🏽
It’s been a long time coming 😭

It’s PPR O’clock 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
A journey that started in 2018, getting first hand information from this goldmine of a platform, I am forever grateful. 🥹

Timeline…

2018
My friend told me about this the Canadian express entry program after she relocated via study route. Joined Nairaland and the trajectory of my life changed. It was all I could think of, I digested the infamous page 1 very well. Next things was to evaluate my bachelors degree and write ielts. Scores were in the 440’s. I sent my transcripts to WES within paying (lol), scores gradually increased to 450s and I knew I needed a second degree.

2019
The hunt for a second degree started, registered for CIMA and after 2 exams I knew I could not handle it, next was Noun PGD, in-fact that school eehn, I regret it till now (story for another day), finally I went for UNILAG HRDC, and I started my 6months degree program (Jun-Dec) I also wrote my first Ielts and I did not get my desired results 💔anyways we move… Wrote my final exams and we had to wait for results to come out the following year.

2020
With high hopes that I would get my results by January,UNILAG Senate said hold my beer 😥, by March 2020 results were out and immediately added it to my Wes application with my bachelors degree that has be gathering dust since 2018, I paid and BOOM 💥 COVID HAPPENED. We all know how that period, Omo everywhere shut down. Fast forward to June, WES received my unilag transcript and my evaluation came out. Wrote ielts for the 2nd time and I had a L8.5,R8.5,S8,W6.5, I wanted to faint, sent it for a remark and it came back unchanged. Picked up the courage and wrote it for the 3rd time this time I had L8.5 R7.5,S9,W7. I jumped into the pool with a CRS score of 468. I waited patiently and watched the scores go down with every draw that happened. December 2020 the final draw of the year and the score was 468, I danced and rejoiced, only for me to find out I was affected by tie-breaking rule 💔 Damn, moving on…

2021
The Long pause… No Fsw draws😭, tried everything to also get Oinp, MPNP, Nbpnp, Alberta pnp, none was forthcoming.

2022
The long pause continues… 2nd and 3rd ielts expired. I started looking into study visa (Uk, & Canada) applied and got rejected (Premium tears). Took my L in peace and moved on. Draws resumed but the scores were so high, chaii… I started French lessons and gave myself 1 year to write the exam.

2023
French lesson continued, also registered for my MBA classes, wrote 5th ielts, anything to get the extra points. While all these were happening & months passing by, the wave of bill c-19 news were spreading, ircc would invite candidates based on specific Noc, I told myself this might be it o, I have to align myself, I must have my ITA this year. Eventually the list of Noc’s came out and I created a new profile, lo and behold on the 20th of September the Cbd Transport draw favored me. Oh I cried 😭 I danced, rolled on the floor, jumped, screamed. What a glorious moment. I submitted my application in October and the wait begins!!!

2024
While others were getting Bil/Mil/MEP in 2-4weeks, it took ircc 90 days to send mine, hmmm okay o but hey, if it took me 5 years to get ITA what is 90 days ehhn? The character development one will experience in this journey is real. After biometrics has been linked and MEP on gckey, now I wait for ppr. Oh the crippling anxiety, I kept thinking about different things, from ADR to Pof top up because of exchange rate, review required… ha God Abeg ooo.
I told myself once my application gets to 4th month I would call ircc to know the update, little did I know that my ppr is close by. I got the infamous “Do not reply email” on the 5th and oh boyyyy, the way my heart kept beating twice as fast… I finally opened my account and I saw my PPR letter sitting pretty. Wow FINALLY I HAVE MY EVIDENCE. My very own ppr, all the years of hustling, hard-work, dedication and commitment to this journey, it has FINALLY ENDED IN PRAISE FOR ME.

If you are on this journey, I want to encourage you to keep your head high, put in the hard work, and it will definitely come true. It may seem like there’s no way out, but once there is a will there’s a way.

I want to say thank you to Zandora for creating this beautiful gold mine of a thread the OG, where it all started, now everyone has moved to Telegram & WhatsApp, lol…
Stay tuned for my Landing Gist…

Wow! Just wow! Remarkable. Congrats. You showed that perseverance pays. Only very few people could have achieved this.
Time to start focusing on jobs, resume, settling in, shaping your career in a new country.

I actually think one thing that worked well for you was just staying in the pool. Many people underestimate the enormous advantage of staying in the pool, regardless of one's score or one's plans.

Bold - Page 1 FAQ 21 and 22.

mercifull had advised: @mrBnet why don't you sell the shares, leave the balance in your bamboo and request an account statement from bamboo? The money will be there in dollars and you won't have to worry about exchange rates.

2018
My friend told me about this the Canadian express entry program after she relocated via study route. Joined Nairaland and the trajectory of my life changed. It was all I could think of, I digested the infamous page 1 very well. Next things was to evaluate my bachelors degree and write ielts. Scores were in the 440’s. I sent my transcripts to WES within paying (lol), scores gradually increased to 450s and I knew I needed a second degree.

2019
The hunt for a second degree started, registered for CIMA and after 2 exams I knew I could not handle it, next was Noun PGD, in-fact that school eehn, I regret it till now (story for another day), finally I went for UNILAG HRDC, and I started my 6months degree program (Jun-Dec) I also wrote my first Ielts and I did not get my desired results 💔anyways we move… Wrote my final exams and we had to wait for results to come out the following year.

2020
With high hopes that I would get my results by January,UNILAG Senate said hold my beer 😥, by March 2020 results were out and immediately added it to my Wes application with my bachelors degree that has be gathering dust since 2018, I paid and BOOM 💥 COVID HAPPENED. We all know how that period, Omo everywhere shut down. Fast forward to June, WES received my unilag transcript and my evaluation came out. Wrote ielts for the 2nd time and I had a L8.5,R8.5,S8,W6.5, I wanted to faint, sent it for a remark and it came back unchanged. Picked up the courage and wrote it for the 3rd time this time I had L8.5 R7.5,S9,W7. I jumped into the pool with a CRS score of 468. I waited patiently and watched the scores go down with every draw that happened. December 2020 the final draw of the year and the score was 468, I danced and rejoiced, only for me to find out I was affected by tie-breaking rule 💔 Damn, moving on…

2021
The Long pause… No Fsw draws😭, tried everything to also get Oinp, MPNP, Nbpnp, Alberta pnp, none was forthcoming.

2022
The long pause continues… 2nd and 3rd ielts expired. I started looking into study visa (Uk, & Canada) applied and got rejected (Premium tears). Took my L in peace and moved on. Draws resumed but the scores were so high, chaii… I started French lessons and gave myself 1 year to write the exam.

2023
French lesson continued, also registered for my MBA classes, wrote 5th ielts, anything to get the extra points. While all these were happening & months passing by, the wave of bill c-19 news were spreading, ircc would invite candidates based on specific Noc, I told myself this might be it o, I have to align myself, I must have my ITA this year. Eventually the list of Noc’s came out and I created a new profile, lo and behold on the 20th of September the Cbd Transport draw favored me. Oh I cried 😭 I danced, rolled on the floor, jumped, screamed. What a glorious moment. I submitted my application in October and the wait begins!!!

While others were getting Bil/Mil/MEP in 2-4weeks, it took ircc 90 days to send mine, hmmm okay o but hey, if it took me 5 years to get ITA what is 90 days ehhn? The character development one will experience in this journey is real. After biometrics has been linked and MEP on gckey, now I wait for ppr. Oh the crippling anxiety, I kept thinking about different things, from ADR to Pof top up because of exchange rate, review required… ha God Abeg ooo.
I told myself once my application gets to 4th month I would call ircc to know the update, little did I know that my ppr is close by. I got the infamous “Do not reply email” on the 5th and oh boyyyy, the way my heart kept beating twice as fast… I finally opened my account and I saw my PPR letter sitting pretty. Wow FINALLY I HAVE MY EVIDENCE. My very own ppr, all the years of hustling, hard-work, dedication and commitment to this journey, it has FINALLY ENDED IN PRAISE FOR ME.

If you are on this journey, I want to encourage you to keep your head high, put in the hard work, and it will definitely come true. It may seem like there’s no way out, but once there is a will there’s a way.

I want to say thank you to Zandora for creating this beautiful gold mine of a thread the OG, where it all started, now everyone has moved to Telegram & WhatsApp, lol…
Stay tuned for my Landing Gist…
