When was your FTD?

Pamperme:
ITA might come today o


I am still at the mercy of London VO, _{whatsapp link, anyone?}

I have been wanting to know this too!

Inception12:
Hello People,

Just a random question, what happens when you get COPR but your medicals or passport expire before you land in Canada? Does the whole process start afresh or you just resubmit passport and new medicals?

I had just two years so I decide to add my NYSC to make it 3, I also had to max out my ielts score, meaning you have to get a minimum of 8,8.5,7,7 in lrsw. I am less than 30yrs by the way. My score was 441 and that was the highest I could attain.

You can also try to write the french test if you understand french.

Goodluck

ujay77:
Good morning all,please I just have a Bsc and two years working experience. I have used the calculator and the score is still very low .Please has anyone with just a bsc scaled through share your experience and possible ways to increase my scores

What did it say? Was it of any use? Did it set your application back in motion? Sorry for the plenty questions.

Peaceful2016:
Yes I ordered gcms notes

Did you order GCMS notes at any point especially after being stuck NA2 for so long?

Thank you to everyone who takes time out to post details of their own applications as well as answer questions. I'll do another post with some points to note from my own application, I don't want to make this post too long.

Post code in Lagos, Nigeria for example will look like this 101233 and not 23401. Please google the post code for your area and local government to be sure.

Upload the gift deed with a cover letter and bank statement as one document in the place holder for Proof of funds.

You can still upload the same cover letter (including any other details you want to explain) in the LOE placeholder.

Thats what i did.

Uzoreen:
Good afternoon fam.

Pls, quick question.

Should the deed of gift be uploaded with my bank statements or with a Letter of Explanation?

If its with the bank statements, do i need to write a letter of explanation concerning it?

Thanks again in anticipation.

Thanks!

Bsbabe:
Please don’t be. Your worry can’t change anything. Ask God to help you quicken their assessment or evaluation or whatever it is they said they are doing. As long as you were truthful in your application and have nothing to hide, it will end well. Timing is not the issue, the issue is that your PPR comes out and your efforts are not in vain. And it shall end in praise (let me borrow TeeCan’s catchphrase).

Don't give up! I thought I did terribly at my speaking too but I got a 7.5 eventually. Just go and prepare for the rest!

Hello Everyone,

Please what can I do to raise my morale?

1st attempt (July) - LRWS - 7.5,9, 7.5, 8
2nd attempt (Nov)- LRWS - 8.5, 8.5, 6.5, 7.5

For 2nd Attempt: I Requested for EOR in RWS. None was upgraded (lost 15k)

3rd attempt (Jan) - Had my speaking this week - Messed up big time!!!!

I presently feel so depressed and demoralized.

With IELTS score of LRWS-8,7,7,7........................ITA would fall on me immediately , but achieving this appear impossible #Makeigobegmyvillagepeople

It was that CPC email address that the initial request to know VO was sent to. This was the response received and they said to keep emails to them to a minimum.

I just want to know if we should be worried.

optionese:
Perhaps you can send another mail. I sent a mail to know my visa officer and got a response in 6hpurs. Search for the cic email address that starts with CPC

Good morning,

Still on this quoted below, we tried to find out the visa office two days ago and got this response.

AOR is October 29

What do you guys think?

“Your file is currently under review and requires additional verifications. As a result, the assessment period will be outside of our posted processing times.

Unfortunately at this time we are not able to determine when your application will be finalized, but our office will contact you as soon as all verifications are completed, or if any additional information or documents are required.“

The address it has at the end is

Abbylee:
Hello.

Can someone please shed some light on this? What stage is this?

What if a profile went from the default to “medicals passed” to “we do not need additional documents” then ADR & CSE and then “add docs you provided have been uploaded” to “add docs you provided are being reviewed”?

All this while the background check has been “Not applicable”.

Hi guys,

If one needs to ask cic for an update on a really stagnant application, how does one go about it? What’s the number to call or email?

Thanks

Raise a CSE and upload it the tax clearance certificate

Kevinoh:
Good day dear e-family,

I was sent a mail to upload some extra supporting documents to my CIC account with just a one week grace period. Unfortunately I was able to provide all other documents except for one (my tax clearance certificate) by the given deadline.


I attached a letter of explanation that it would be made available to me by my employer some days after the given deadline.
The problem now is there is no more provision to upload any other documents after I put up the others by the given deadline.

Please guys, what do you advice is the way forward in my situation as I wouldn't want to take any chances?


Thanks in anticipation for your kind responses.

Congrats GS and everyone who has got ITA. PPR soon!

Please any December AOR group or thread?

Congrats guys on PPR and IELTS!!!

How long did it take to get it from the day you requested? Did you have to request from their head office?

olajide21:
Zenith Bank would give you the letter in the required format. In fact, by the Mercies of God, they would also do USD Conversion and CAD conversation on your letter....
#Alhamdullilah for His mercies.

Congratulations!!!

damolah10:
I would like to know please if the Zenith bank account someone intend to use have to be a saving account or current account.

Quick question, did you need to attach any passport photograph(s) to your gift deed?

EngrKen8:
So I’m still dancing but let me drop my timeline.
ECA - June 2016
IELTS- July 2016 8,8,7.5, 6
Crs score of 396 so I gave up on the whole thing. Then I found you guys, started reading and started believing again �
2nd IELTS - 29th July 2017
New express entry profile - 2nd August
ITA - 17th August
AOR - 13th November
Med passed - 24th November
PPR - 12th December

Guys it’s been God all the way because my application wasn’t perfect in any way. I had to wait almost 3 months for POF after ITA. Ended up using a gift deed (100% of the funds).
Let me stop here for now and go and submit passport. �

For POF jo

mcstan18:
Did you work with all these banks? Anyway, just pick the one(s) where your roles match the NOC you'd like to adopt

Hi guys,

What bank gives POF reference letter according to CIC's format among these banks? Access, Gtb, Stanbic or Zenith??

I heard some banks have strict format and its not compliant to CICs'.

Please help, its urgent!

liricaliblunt:

Praise the lord God is on the throne . He never denies his children he has done it.

Congrats to everyone that has received ITA and to those waiting, you are very close, don't be worried!

1. The school should send it sealed.
2. Use the comprehensive ranking tool (google it) to check your scores, play with the different components of the ielts to see how it affects your score. Highest score ielts can give you is to get 8.5,8,7.5,7.5 in listening, reading,writing and speaking.
3. I think your marriage certificate should do the trick for the maiden name part and a one and the same affidavit should address the third name issue
4. I think that should suffice.

Others please weigh in.

Hafsat24:
I have been reading for months and must say you all have really been helpful, May God bless y'all..so after much ado hubby finally decided to get on board..we are looking at starting the process this month..i would like to ask some questions pls

1. Hubby has a Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics eng'g from the U.K, however he has his transcripts with him..would it pose a problem if he sends it to WES himself? Or he should request for the school to send it since his is not sealed

2. He has over 5yrs experience, what IELTS scores should we aim at to get good CRS scores..

3.My passport is in my maiden name but my degree has a third name..would that pose a problem?

4.We don't have a marriage certificate as the wedding was conducted in a mosque and no certificate is usually issued in the part of North we got married..however i have court declaration of marriage we did at the federal high court just a month after the wedding as i needed it for NYSC then..can it be used for anything or we need to do a court marriage?

Sorry for my long epistle pls
