Hi guys,
I'm 14weeks post-AOR and when I called CIC concerning my application, I was informed that my eligibility is under review although I've passed the criminality, background and so on checks. I submitted 2 reference letters (from my current employer and former employer) and my POF was is FD.
Does anyone have a similar experience and can advise me on what my next line of action should be?
Apparently my file has been in CIO, Sydney all along.
Can the process start and end there? Or should I expect them to move the file to another VO?

Hello please can you give me the number you called. I am 4months post AOR

Please help me. How do I know my Visa office I am 4months Post AOR.

Hello guys, need an advice for a friend,

They got ghost updates for 3 days consecutively from Sunday till this morning which is meant to be a good thing.
However, the application number than appears in the 3 mails was not the one that has been since they created the profile, ITA and the ADR they got.

AOR Sept 22

What should they do?

Please what is ghost update? my AOR is Aug 29th and till now only medical passed and Biometrics completed. How do I know if there was a ghost update. Please help.

My people please help me thank Jehova Lord Almighty!!!!
IELTS result out
LRSW: 8,8.5,7.5,7.5 first attempt at MOD IDP on 15th December.
My hands are still shaking. I cannot contain my happiness.
Glory to Jesus, honor to mother Mary.
I gave this my all and I said the St Joseph of Cupertino prayer. This prayer is powerful people!!
Thank you so much to all who shared the Campbridge preparation materials. I got so overwhelmed with materials online so I decided to abandon them and focus on just Cambridge because they are the authentic questions. I also used Jay's writing structure.
I'm so grateful for this forum. I've learnt so much here.

Yes oh I said the St Joseph of Cupertino prayer too in June and I aced my Listening the third and final time.

LausDeo:
Still on the INELIGIBILITY E-MAIL. I submitted a profile this morning with 17,000CAD as POF for a family of 2 but I still got the ineligibility mail. I think this is beyond an increase in POF

Hello,
Those People getting ineligibility mail when trying to get in the pool, Please check the hours of work you entered. Few of my friends made the mistake of putting 8hours instead of at least 40hrs per week because they thought it was hours of work per day when its hours per week. Please check carefully before answering.

Thank you.

reading:8.0
writting:7.5
speaking:7.0
i have Bsc which i have evaluated,i dont have a relative abroad,i have 3yrs working experience
i entered the pool in march and my score was 432...i have been advised to do a pgd programme,
please does any one know of a pgd program accepted by wes possibly online course?i have BSC in computer science
Thank you

Your scores are perfect except the Speaking. If you can can ask for a remark so you get 7.5 your CRS score will move up to 440. Aside the PGD you can try retaking IELTS aiming for atleast 8.5 8 7.5 7.5 in LRWS.

Please can someone send me a link to any whatsapp group for August 29th AOR or just August AOR whichever exists please. It's been 3 months now and 2months after Biometrics. Thanks

Hello people,

I thought that if you apply as married, you have lower points than if you apply as single/hubby non-accompanying.

Oya epp me torchlit this scenario o

Married (PA), 37, Masters, IELTS - 8.5,9,7,8(LRWS)
Hubby - Masters, 7.5,8.5,7,7
CRS - 439

But if it is spouse unaccompanying, the score drops to 434. Is there something we are not getting right? pls assist.

Thank you.

There is nothing you are doing wrong. Either you retake ielts and move your writing to 7.5 or he re takes ielts and aim for 8777. When you are married some points are lost and they are added back if ur hubby takes ielts and has done his wes. However the amount of points added back depends on his highest qualification and wes result compared to yours.

Just did my Biometrics in Abuja and it took me 15mins. Seems like I was the only one who came. The booking wasn't necessary because they didn't even ask for my appointment letter, he said they only ask when there is queue like Lagos. If you don't live in lag pls just do ur Biometrics in Abuja, me I came all d way from south south.

clock89:
LOL, processing times turned people to data analysts so they figured out a method to IRCC’s madness.

IP1 or IP2 are not real stages, people just developed them for the changes in background check status

IP1 - is when your BG status shows “Your Application is in progress, we will send you a message when we start your BG”
IP2 - is when your BG status Shows “We are processing your BG, we will send you a message if we need more info”

It’s like the IP1/IP2 thing don cast sha, it’s all random now.

Oh thanks for the insight. So mine was not a ghost update after all, The background changed to “We are processing your BG, we will send you a message if we need more info” though not sure if the previous status was “Your Application is in progress, we will send you a message when we start your BG” So is it safe to say I am in IP2?

Zeiya:
Please what's your AOR dare ?

August 29th

Please guys I got my letter for Biometrics yesterday. On my way to Abuja for it and just now I got a message that my status has been updated but when I checked no update. What does it mean please.

mepconsultant:
Darling Nairalanders, PPR News.

I have been thanking God since yesterday and couldn't still thank him enough. PPR has falling on me. All thanks to God.

My brief Timeline below.

IELTS = 5 times
ITA = 04/06/2018
AOR = 11/08/2018
MEP = 12/09/2018
BIL = 17/09/2018
PPR = 20/09/2018

3 days between Biometrics and PPR
8 days from MEP to PPR.

This could only have been God.

I'm actually a silent follower of this thread. Learnt a lot from here. IELTS oppressed me. I will by tomorrow highlight my experience and detailed timelines, for others to learn from and not get neither weary nor discouraged.

Thank you all for you supports. I wish you all the very best. 1 Love

Wow God is Awesome, may his name be praised forever.....Congratulations.

CanadianNaija:
For biometric enrollment, if you’re like me that’s working, please don’t go from work thinking you will be done in an hour. I left from work, to meet my 12pm appointment thinking it won’t take more than an hour as I was told.

I had to leave and return to the office because my number is 196, and as at when I was leaving they just called 140 to the counter. They don’t have lots of people capturing, and then I will have had to wait or same number of people called before me to capture before it got to my turn.

So my advice, please take a day off from work, don’t assume it’s something you’ll breeze in and get done with.

The anger in my heart eh, the money I spent on cab now to and fro wasted.

Please is this Lagos or Abuja? I plan to go to Abuja when I get my letter hopefully next week by God's Grace.

AOR 29th of August only UCI number updated. We are moving forward in Jesus name. Amen

hi
I don't know if u have been answered.
u shld re calculate
Spouse add a maximum of 30 points.
That said...
Beg him to take d ielts.. He doesn't have to score so high.
U can evaluate d degrees for him.
Now to ur question
Unaccompanying spouse
He will still do medicals and pcc
And also the pof will still include him.
I doubt him getting a visa will be a problem. U shld discuss the above points to him sha. Or else just do ur Unaccompanying spouse

Single, IELTS minimum 8777,Msc,Sibling in canada,=460
Married, IELTS minimum 8777,Msc,Sibling in canada, SPOUSE (No WES or IELTS)=428
Married, IELTS minimum 8777,Msc,Sibling in canada, SPOUSE (WES(BSc), IELTS (average of 6 in all)=448
Married, IELTS minimum 8777,Msc,Sibling in canada, SPOUSE (WES(BSc), IELTS (min 8777)=456
Married, IELTS minimum 8777,Msc,Sibling in canada, SPOUSE (WES(MSc), IELTS (min 8777)=458

OK. Having a spouse reduces your score compared to if you were SINGLE but the points are added back if spouse does IELTS and WES.
Just ensure your spouse who is not the principal applicant does WES and IELTS (AVG OF 6 OR 7 IS FINE)

Congratulations to all of us that got our ITA God be praised. SUCCESS ALL THE WAY BY GOD'S SPECIAL GRACE. AMEN

IELTS Done finally. Praise Almighty God. Wont God do it...
