Thanks.

You need the POF for your application. However, although you are required to bring the pof while landing you might or might not be asked to show it. I had the POF with me while landing though.

Yes, I need to sort out some issues before finally relocating to Canada. To maintain permanent resident status, one needs to stay in Canada 2 years out of 5 years. So it is not compulsory that one relocates to Canada immediately. However, one will have to land in Canada before the date stated on your COPR which is usually a year after medicals. After landing, you can come back to your home country but you will need to travel back to Canada within the next 3 years to retain PR status.

Honestly Iphie, if I were in your shoes, I would apply and attach both ECAs with a letter of explanation. I will state that the WES evaluation was a bit ambiguous since it had both 'first professional degree' and 'Bachelor's degree', so I had to do another evaluation with a different body for an unambiguos and better clarification of my credentials.

This is what I would definitely do. All the best dear. God will give you the wisdom you need at this point!

I think i need to say this as i'm experiencing being banned almost all the time or some of my comments removed. It seems Justwise is always suspicious of my comments after the last incidence, to the extent that i'm no longer free to write the way i want, i have to censor and censor so that my comments dont get raise suspicion and consequently removed or i get banned. I'm not trying to blow any trumpet, we still have people here who are knowledgeable but there could be a need to check the replies we give people so people dont get misled, its one of the major reasons i stayed otherwise. It can be very embarrasing when you are trying to be of help and someobne chooses to frustrate your effort

Hello All,

Please Im new to this forum and I need suggestions on a particular situation bothering me. My husband and I just got PPR request for passport for visa issuance from the Canadian Embassy, after a very long wait . We had taken our minds off it n assumed it was refused without communication . At the moment, I am in the US for childbirth . Due to return to Nigeria mid June. We have been given 30days to respond with our police certificate from the UK and also to send our passports for the visas. My own take on it is for my husband to go ahead to process his since he is the primary applicant and inform the embassy that I am not in the country and will send mine when I get back. Another suggestion we got was to notarise a photocopy of my passport and keep for my use here in the US while I send my original to the Canadian Embassy In Accra or to my husband. I am not comfortable with these options because I dont want to get stranded here waiting for my passport when its time to return to Nigeria. Also I need to process the baby documents and its not certain that I will be allowed to notarise as a non-resident of the US.

Considering the timeline we have been given, How can we ensure this application is not cancelled. Please anyone who has a suggestion on how best to handle this.

Dear everyone,

I have a question relating to proof of funds too. I submitted my application since December 2015. I wish to know if I have to leave the funds untouched till I get PPR?

Thank you

Hello All,

Please is there any one who has attended the Heriot-Watts University, Edinburgh Business School ?

I'm about to enroll for a Post Graduate Certificate course online n Business Management and I plan to get it evaluated by WES to get more points when evaluated with my Bachelors degree (two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees)

Please has any one gone through this process ?

I hear WES might not evaluate post graduate certificates for one to choose two or more certificates, diplomas or degrees.

Please advise as I do not want to enroll for this course and WES does not evaluate it as a grad certificate of Canadian equivalency.

WES has a tool online, however, there are no certificates or diplomas than can be evaluated using the tool.


Kindly advise, Thanks.

vcole:
Congrats on your PPR. Could you kindly give a breakdown of your entire process? for learning purposes. thanksssss.

irondome:


Took 2 months to PPR from BG in progress (probably due to quota related issue as my BG went into in progress towards the end of the year and I got my PPR first week in January)

COPR took 4 weeks with VFS. I learnt most of those who use DHL get their passport back in 2 weeks (15 Calendar days)

irondome:


Just to add to what Zandora posted on pof; your current bank statement + debit card of the account, in addition to little cash would just suffice. You don't have to land with all the cash on you. I landed with $1000 because of the current dollar trouble; and I backed up with it up with my latest account statement.

zandora:
Thank you all for your congratulatory messages, I'm so touched you have no idea!

irondome:


No interview, No additional document request, No decision made status as most applicants lost access to ECAS few months ago. And you can be anywhere for your PPR, you only have to request a change of visa office for visa stamping.

irondome:


5 months

zandora:


Sorry to hear about your refusal, PCC's can be quite tricky. Didn't receive any call from cic neither did my employer. No interview however I was asked to complete my travel history. I just included as many documents as I could to further establish/clarify my work history.

zandora:


I did not apply via Quebec, I applied via FSW express entry.

zandora:


Firstly I'm not a guy

Application - May 08 2015
Medical Passed - May 15 2015
Decision Made - October 08 2015
PPR - October 15 2015

IELTS - W 7, R 7.5, L 8 & S 9
Master's
Age (old enough for your family to be pestering you to get married - not above 30)
Single
Work experience - 3 years

That's all I guess.

zandora:


I don't understand your question. Are you asking for the bank letter format requested by CIC or do you know the format but GTB won't write the letter for you in CIC'S format?
