I think this worked because of the bolded, CIC figured you are still qualified for the draw that got you ITA even if your current work reference is excluded.
@ Primeson1, do you also have reference letter of 3years on other job(s)? and you will still be able to sleep well at night if those 6months without reference is excluded from your application.
Look out for guidance from other seniors that has scaled through with work experience without reference letter, what they submitted, and if geebaby10 document suffice.

geebaby10:
Well for my hubby we didn't get work reference letter for his current job because we didn't want to jeopardize his promotion. His office had victimized those that requested for in the past. We used his appointment letter, previous promotion letters and three most recent payslips.

For me, I started a new job after ITA so for that new job I used my appointment letter and explained that I was still in training in the LOE but I worked over 40 hours a week etc.

I am the PA and currently our application is on NA2 and no documents needed so it MAY have worked.

But bear in mind that for our previous jobs (me - over three years, hubby - over six years) we got proper work reference letters. And it was this previous job I used in getting ITA.

You don't need your birth certificate AT ALL

Dannyko:
Thanks for d quick reply.Do u mean they don't require birth certificate?

Santino1:
You don't need it to submit an Express Entry profile but you might if you get an ITA at a later stage

No

Dannyko:
Good day all,pls on my birth certificate ,my first name is spelt out as "Oluwab..." While on all my school certificates and other official documents and ID Cards ,"Olub..." is written. There is an omission of "wa".With respect to Express Entry,do I need to swear an affidavit?

After you pass medicals and have been assigned UCI.

lilyandie:
Hallo My people, I have come again o.

I submitted last week, please when is the appropriate time to write to them to find out the office (Ottawa or ...)?

Thanks o

Is your spouse the principal applicant? If not, I suggest you don't bother yourself about it.
Although that I got away with that doesn't mean everyone will but I chose not to worry about it because I am not claiming points for spouse' job function,other detail on the certificate are consistent, and the certificate is a proof of marital status not proof of work experience.

If he/she is the principal applicant, post have been made here about using LOE to explain the inconsistency.

hiscules:
Hello House,

2. Is there a way one can correct the occupation written on the marriage certificate? My spouse's occupation on our marriage certificate is inconsistent with the job being done. Note that CIC has the information of work from previous application,although the marriage certificate has never been presented.

Note: its federal registry ikoyi

What makes you think so? @ bolded
I suggest you keep calm, cross leg, get busy and enjoy your time in the waiting room.Share your timeline though...lerrus see.

@Canadianfly is the ring leader of all whatsapp groups

dannio:
Please is there a whatsapp group for Accra Visa Office applicants .lt seems my application is at Accra

Lol, on a faceless thread o, maybe we are the 'villager' of our own mind then.
Anyway, if people can 'fight' on the thread, nothing else should be amazing.

40manlappy:
Fear of "village people", maybe?

Lol. You people play too much!

@Einsteino congrats o

cochtrane:
einsteino!! God don finally do am for you No more pre-nups.

Congratulations

XX01:
19days from AOR to PPR.
Will send my passports once I return to my house next week.

She should be added and made group admin sef

Yooku:
Please don't forget to add Canadianfly to the group as well

Let the person paying the 2k for you follow up on the verification at once.

Mavor:
WES said they have contacted OAU for verification. I just wanna make sure that whomsoever it was sent to can respond to WES ASAP

I understand you. It just feels like one is stucked on a spot but you can get busy with some prearrival arrangement while you wait (One would think I got busy, lol).

My COPR timeline.

Passport sent- 5th September
Passport received in Accra- 7th September
MyCIC account status approved- 19th September
Pick-Up Mail- 26th September
Passport delivered- 29th September

yimiton:
My Dear people, please don't blame me for being impatient oh, in my mind, I am already in Canada and I plan to leave in December or latest January.

But you know, final arrangement like sale of property and booking of flight cannot be confidently done unless we see our COPR and stamped passports.

So, to help me plan properly, I will appreciate if you will drop how long it took from the day Accra received your passports to the day they you got the mail, informing you that they're ready.

We tracked and saw that ours were delivered to Accra on the 22nd of September, 2017.

Please how long did yours take?

Lmao, but that is the answer to the question na. You can find trouble ehn!

@datechman, I have only included location so people that have questions of how come they sent their own for 20k can have answer. I dont live in Osogbo but I was in Ife when PPR came and because I was PPR ready, our passports followed me for the journey.

Canadianfly:
Lmao! This your answer is so abrupt. Na wetin we dey call Elaa back then

Date human, no mind me oh...lol. You know I'm a joker

True @ bolded, the recent speed is just a lucky transformation.

People even complain of no movement in the account for 2weeks
I can't blame 'us', when timeline for medical passed suddenly changed from 2 months to less than 3weeks, everyone become expectant.

dupyshoo:
Also, my application took 6 months minus 1 day. That's why I smile when I see people complaining when they have only waited for 2-3 months. In 2015/2016, most applications take between 4-6 months. It is nowadays that most applications are processed quickly.

No

DatechMan:
Are you living in Osogbo?

Addition
Prices- Sent: 13k+(From Osun state) Received 21k+(Lagos)

Lmao...I tell you! Those Accra peeps are not serious at all.

yimiton:
But wait oh, Accra wants to take more days to stamp a passport than it took CIC to verify application and issue PPR. Wonders shall never end.

Hi olusolarichards
Since your school has refused to send your transcript and wants you to pick and send by yourself, I suggest you send at a courier office within Ekiti and not Lagos.
Source detail and location will be on your parcel, I believe. I am not certain of how the packaging works.
I think @mummyjaygirls explained something like that in older post.
@40manlappy and other gurus can help you torchlight the matter too.
[quote author=olusolarichards post=60930979][/quote]

Oga, try not to mislead people with your post(s). What conversion metric did you use that makes #2.5m sufficient as POF for a single applicant?
The question has been answered correctly in earlier post. Poster is not good to go.

saouri:
That is US dollar rate. Withthe Canadian dollar rate, you are good to go!

Hello am planning to move to Canada with my family can someone tell me what kind of visa should we apply and how what kind of permit did we need, finally wish way is d best way to apply for the visa. Thanks

Although I selected "others" when I filled mine as all the options there dey one kin
Got to learn later on that Environmental Science degree is under unit group title 2 "natural and applied sciences and related occupations" in the NOC category. So that is the category to look out for in the drop down menu.

Kontagious:
Hi People,

Please when filling EE Profile, what does one with Environmental Science Degree (Architecture, Estate Management, Quantity Surveying etc) select in Field of Study under Education. Talking about where Engineers selects Applied Science.

Anyone in the know please.

I am not even sure I get what you are missing.
Payment page is part of the next/proceed icon when you register. So you are actually yet to complete registration if you are yet to get to that final page showing your amount summary/ payment page and generate reference number.
So where and how did you register?

lovetree:
Please people....good morning. How do I pay for WES Pls. I have registered and all but can't find any link for payment . I'm sure I'm missing something ......pls help

Your payment has been received from the day you registered and generated a reference number, or is your enquiry/confusion not with WES?
So yes, they have received your document and you should get a mail in due time which of the document was received and which is pending (a checklist sort of).

agates:
Hello Gurus, sorry that this might sound like a silly question. So i faxed my certificate and sent my transcript on friday the 22nd. I checked my profile now and it says we have received your documents. We are reviewing your documents. Does this mean that they have actually recieved the docs and reviewing or they mean my payment has been received. (Sorry if this sounds confusing)

Your account will be updated within 5days of receiving doc.

agates:
Please can someone respond. How soon does WES send a confirmation email that they have received the docs. i faxed my certificate today and sent my transcript via digitary. Thanks

Don't worry, it will shift soon. I see you updated family information, so just take it as a file has just been opened for your baby and steps are in place to include him/her in your application. At least there is communication, so something is brewing
Wish you speedy PPR

Nozzle:
IP1 since...Oga o

Congrats on your IELTS result.
Since you are married, you do not have the opportunity to apply as single, so scenario 1 is out of the way which leaves you with option 2 only.
I suggest you enter the pool with your projected CRS of 425 while you try to convince your spouse to write IELTS to boost your score. You can't tell if the cutoff will drop below 425 while you are at it.
All the best.

stealth02:
Now, Please I need some guidance on my application, I'm married but my spouse is not keen on taking the IELTS.

Scenario 1: I submit EE profile with a CRS score of 437 receive ITA apply get AOR then add spouse afterwards. I understand it's possible for singles that get married after AOR to do this. Can married couples do same?

Scenario 2: I apply from the onset as PA (MSc, 3yrs Exp) with my spouse (BSc, OND, 2yrs Exp) CRS score drops to 425 meaning my spouse would have to do IELTS; assuming a minimum score of 6,6,6,6 in L,S,R,W brings joint CRS to 435

It is advisable you add spouse after you have submitted your application and "wind don blow am small" as someone stated. Lol. In that case, the wife won't have a need to take IELTS and do ECA.

Adding spouse after ITA (before AOR) will reduce your score and spouse will need IELTS&ECA to boost it back to the draw point that got you ITA, unless your score is so high that adding spouse still place your CRS above the cutoff that got you ITA.

Someone shared the process of adding spouse few pages back.

yungreezy:
Won't the wife need to take ielts and have eca done if he does this? I'm just trying to understand because I could be in the situation as I have ITA already and would apply soon. Does adding a spouse to your application have any implications?

Get married after you have submitted your application (post AOR), you add her to your application then.

Omoedeki:
Good morning gurus. What is the way forward for a single guy intending to get married so that CRS score will not be affected. I don't want wife's certificate to be evaluated and no ielts. My CRS score is around 439 now. Please advise me on the way forward.

Congrats! Kindly share your timeline.

A copy of the ready for visa mail.
Completed IMM0008 form (as advised here, even if your family composition has not changed).
Height and eye colour chart.
And of course, international passport for you and every dependant (spouse ad children,if any) included in your application.

justicia:
Hello All. Please when submitting passport to Accra for PR Visa what other documents and forms must one add apart from passport photos . Thanks for your guidance

Congrats!
You have been advised rightly; read up.
Meanwhile, @ bolded, is this result IELTS general training or academics?

Margs:
Finally got my results o...
L 9
R 7
S 8.5
W 7.5
now to decide study or EE route!

I might not exactly have a perfect response to your query but I think evaluating a new credential after having a former ECA will be useful for your two/more certificates need. I see it as adding a credential to improve your score, which would hold in the same manner if you have just completed a degree programme. So you enter each credential seperately under the education category and include the corresponding ECA dates and reference numbers, WES does not necessarily have to merge it for you in a single report, it is the canadian equivalence stated for each by WES you need.

I hope this helps.

uptown17:
Haa my people please dont jump and pass the question, kindly assist. Thank you ooo

Where are you running to

I think it is just in phases...depends on activity central to the application that is ongoing. Currently it is IELTS, for some it is ECA (pre-ITA), ITA will come and people will come with e-APR related questions, then post ITA waiting game and status updates...all depends on the group you belong to and what catches your attention.
For me, it was and still is POF related topics Yes, I like money like that

teewhy31:
I think this thread should be renamed"IELTS" or "WES vs IQAS" or something like that.....
