If this helps anyone:

I invited my sister to Canada May 2022. Before that, I invited my mom sometime in February and it was approved in April. My sister is single, young and has a very stable job. Around May this year, as the application clocked a year, I decided to email the MP of my district to intervene. He helped me find out the status of the application but says he can’t do much, that everything looks good and all we needed to do was to wait. I later advised my sister to go renew her passport to 10years cos she only had 2 years left. She did and soon after she got the passport back from immigration her PPR landed in June so she submitted ADR to update passport info. She submitted the new passport and was granted 9years VV

Hello everyone. Pls has someone applied for PCC recently? My plug is charging me 50k for PCC. This is to support my citizenship application. Thank you.

Hi, please why did you cancel the first application?

AyabaS:
So my mom got biometrics request on Oct 21 and did the biometrics yesterday. I then submitted a new application via the new IRCC portal today and sent a webform to withdraw the previous application. They definitely haven’t started anything on it since processing doesn’t even start till after biometrics. Keeping my fingers crossed for a fast response.
One thing I noticed though, while answering the guiding questions, if you don’t qualify for exemption, you’re directed to the IRCC secure portal but if you qualify, it leads you to the new portal.

hi, i just sent u a pm. i'm applying this year to uoft for pharmd. can we connect pls?

Sholaystar4me:
Not a problem. Do you mind sharing some of the things you considered, that informed your decisions, don't mind learning from it, I can email you, cos I am studying PharmD myself, presently at U of T ( a switch from IT).

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I've been able to book her biometrics and she will give it in a few days. Do we need to anything else afterwards. What was the situation after biometrics for her application.. congrats on your new born btw

esosa4real:


Ah since June?

My wife was in similar situation as she was pregnant and wanted her mum, but her mum has since done biometrics on August 24

We had applied in July but Covid19 had close vfs.
Please whats the problem now because the vfs has been open since August ooh, and booking biometrics has been possible since the weekend before that date.

Without biometrics, your application won't proceed.

Hi all, my mum applied for visiting Visa in June. She hasnt been able to go and give her biometrics yet. I've been trying to schedule appointments since June but there hasnt been any success. Pls is there anyway around it?. She was going to come help me with delivery and my baby... I would really appreciate a response.

Good day guys... Chukwu emekwala ka osi eme... He has blessed me beyond measures... He has put a smile on my face...

1. Thanks to everyone on this thread. Started the Canada journey in 2017 after so many years of trying to get scholarships to study abroad.

2. I started reading people's experiences on NL and that was what prompted me to try. I enrolled for ielts and wrote on Dec 2nd, 2017. My score was LRWS- 9, 7.5, 7.5, 7. I prepared hard from January till I wrote in Dec, even though some months were quite tight because I was running a masters program in Uyo.

3. I decided to evaluate my transcript for B. tech From Lautech after waiting for months for my "never ending" masters thesis to be vetted. Lautech too had its own issues being on strike for over 18 months, so the moment they called off that strike in january, I paid Wes and sent my transcript. The process was very easy for me. The evaluation was ready early March.

4. My crs score with just the B.Tech wasn't still enough, my birthday was approaching in April and the masters program was still unsure cos nasu was now on strike. Luckily, Nasu called off the strike in March and I ran to Uyo to pick up my vetted thesis. I quickly corrected it and submitted hard bound copies for senate to sit. My masters degree was awarded 2 days later. So I quickly paid Wes again and sent my transcript for evaluation in April. The evaluation was ready in June, so my crs shoot up from 435 to 470. I also didn't have continuous work experience from one company so I wanted to use just one year from recent years which would take my crs to 445. I didn't know what the cut off in the next draw would be so I played safe with the 3 years...

5. On June 25, 2018, there was a draw with 442 cut off, I checked my account and saw my ita had not dropped so I removed the other 2 years and my score dropped to 445. I got ITA a few hours later. N/B. I did an LOE for this o, to explain why I moved my other 2 years work experience to personal history.

6. In April my dad gifted me my 100% pof and we did a gift deed with his lawyer. I went to Lagos for medicals and police certificate. I got the other documents like bank statement, employment letter, confirmation letter, reference letter and I had loads of documents I uploaded, I even had to prove my relationship with my uncle who lives in Canada, I did this with pictures cos there was no Birth certificate to use. I had loe for every place holder. On July 13th I submitted and the wait began. While waiting, I messaged MP Ralph in October and was informed that my VO was Ottawa, this gave me hope.

7. I started planning on adding my fiance in November so we began preparations in October.

8. I received ppr on the 20th of November, 2018 6 days before my wedding. A day after my wedding I raised cse. They responded and we gathered documents including updated POF and submitted on the 15th of December, 2018. We received ADR few days later for clear copies of the previously submitted docs and another e medical document.

9. In February, I ordered notes and I raised cse in March when I was becoming impatient, to know the status of my application and that was when I found out my file had been moved to Accra... I didn't know how to feel... Could it be my husbands military service? This worried me... I mailed Ralph again in March and I was informed our marriage was confirmed genuine and my spouse added to my application on the 6th of February, 2019.

10. I surrendered all to God... Told Him not to put me to shame cos trust me, thoughts were coming as to why I didn't just go and sponsor later... As worries set in I raised cse and wrote a painful piece, they replied saying they'll try to make it faster but I should forward all enquires directly to AVO.... I sent same message to AVO and till now I didn't get a reply... Till now my GCMS note hasn't come... Thank God for this group for our joint prayers and moral support...

voguemum:


Congratulations @Amakyzuu, I hope the process of adding your spouse goes well as we await more hints from you. Can I pm you concerning a personal matter that coincide with one of the points you listed If you don't mind.

Ok

Guys good morning... I'm sorry to have announced my PPR in a low key...

1. Thanks to everyone on this thread. Joined in 2016 after so many years of trying to get scholarships to study abroad.

Lautech too had its own issues being on strike for over 18 months, so the moment they called off that strike in january, I paid Wes and sent my transcript.

6. In April my dad gifted me my 100% pof and we did a gift deed with his lawyer. I went to Lagos from Nsukka to do medicals at Children's practice and police certificate at alagbon. I got the other documents like bank statement, employment letter, confirmation letter, reference letter and I had loads of documents I uploaded, I even had to prove my relationship with my uncle who lives in Canada, I did this with pictures cos there was no Birth certificate to use. I had loe for every place holder. On July 13th I submitted and the wait began till yesterday. While waiting, I messaged MP Ralph in October and was informed that my VO was Ottawa, this gave me hope.

7. If the old people on this thread remember, I once asked questions about adding my fiancé who works in the Navy. After a lot of research we decided to go on with the addition instead of sponsoring later. So we began the marriage process in October and I'm planning to add him after our marriage on Monday. We will do this trusting God to fix the rest for us. We also hope to become a guide for others who would want to add military spouse or vice versa in the future.

8. If there is a link to guide us with adding spouse post PPR pls alert me.

9. Thanks to Mcstan for being a brother and a friend... He has been so helpful to me and my fiancé. Thanks to everyone who in one way or the other answered my continuous questions. Thanks to fizzle for adding me to his "family", I'm glad I benefitted from that family. May God bless you all and grant your heart desires soonest in Jesus name. Amen.

10. My advice to everyone is, keep on trying, if ielts is the challenge keep on pushing and the result will be worth the stress. If evaluation is the challenge, keep pushing and soon it will all work out... If POF is the challenge, keep asking for help and trust me at the right time that help will come through... I feel like the luckiest person here cos this time last year, I didn't even know my fate with my ielts, pof, application fees or completion of my masters program... I almost gave up both thank God I pushed through and graduated.

Get his Birth cert or International Passport, he should have the same last name with your dad, scan and attach to the placeholder . LOE will do the rest. Best of Luck.

Thank u

Congrats to all PPR recipients. Pls I need some explanations. While filling my application pre-ita I chose that I have an uncle who is a citizen, post ITA, they are requesting I upload his proof of citizenship and proof of relationship. I thought I can only do this if I claimed points for having a sibling. How can I prove our relationship as my father's sibling?

write them and send through hellofax...

beautyfoch:
Feeling so pissed now

Good morning house. Please has anyone experienced this sort of thing. I made an inquiry with WES using their "Contact Us" and it took forever to receive a response. When it finally came it was an off-point response, not in any way related to the question I asked .

Is it that their customer service is inefficient or what?? Cos ayam not understanding

.

Fuzzyman:


Hi there, please why did you need to add your cousins name ?

I had my eca sent to a Canadian address for the same reasons as yours ;everything turned out fine , and there was no extra delay .

I sent my ECA report to a Canadian address but when filling the form I put my relatives Canadian number... My ECA was delivered a day after I got the soft copy

iPopAlomo:



It's just the NCE... my school insists they've sent it... Wes haven't gotten it and won't send another verification letter for another 7 weeks... I should've used ICES/ICAS jeje...


I just need a correspondence mail... not the contact us... as I can't reply the way I want...

Use hellofax or twitter @WESpicks

Aig842:
And you’ve done exactly that! Well done

I see you missed my point in that statement but then I'm glad you have also corrected yourself by writing the right thing.

Aig842:
Are you serious? I've never seen an eye test where they check only one eye, but as an unofficial general rule, if whatever you think might be a red flag (either being blind in one eye or others) will not burden the Canadian govt. then you're good to go. I haven't done medicals so I have no idea, you can read up on CIC website for more info. My 2cents

Your earlier hahahaha post was unnecessary... Give your "2cents" and move on... Must everyone make comments on this thread for gods sake!!!

.

DonTee07:


Please how did you get the Reference number that you included? I thought payment must be made before the REFERENCE NUMBER is given. I will be evaluating another degree in addition to my BSC done last year and will prefer this courier delivery for verification. My BSC verification took months and I don’t have such time again. Thanks.

After adding another degree you pay as usual to get your reference number. After they have notified you that they have received your certificate and transcript, you make the request above for verification .

Newmum0615:
I am not sure I understand your question, but 9213 Supervisors, food, beverage and associated products processing falls under NOC B category.

Thanks You've answered my question.

Just your highest degree... ie your phd... All these info is stated on page 0...

milkytins:

please someone should help out

@Newmum0615 Pls what NOC category is NOC 9213?... Its not on the website... My job role falls between that and 0911 Category (0). pLease assist. thank u

ploff:
Hello house. Please i just sent an application to my account officer in GTB for the purchase of Tbills for 50% of my POF. The account officer said that an email will be sent once it is completed. Is this what they call TB certificate or will i have to request for another certificate?

Pls I would like to know how this goes. I don't understand the kind of ugly paper access bank gave me as a certificate.

I chose for my ECA report to be delivered to an address in CA. Plus I used an international credit card to pay. Am I eligible for refund? cos I read somewhere that people with such cases are not... I no go mind o...

Elfmannisback:

Good. After ask for HST refunds. It will times 2 for u.

Hello all, this is how I was finally able to request to pay courier fees from WES CA to my institution for verification of my documents... So instead of waiting for 2-4 weeks for your verification to be sent via regular mail to your school that is far away from Lagos , you can pay courier fees to expedite the processes. I had to write the letter below and faxed it via hellofax as suggested on this group, this was after I had used the contact us 3 times and I never got a positive response. N/B: this request also attracted higher HST (ie instead of paying a total of $120.91 CAD for evaluation upgrade, I paid $216.96 CAD)

WES REFERENCE NO.: ---------------
Good day,
My name is ----------------. I would like to request to pay for my VDR to be sent via International Express ($85 CAD) from WES Canada to my Institution (University of -----) in Nigeria in order to expedite the request for verification of my B.Sc./M.Sc./PhD----- degree documents from the institution. This is because it takes a longer time for regular mails to be delivered within Nigeria.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
------------------

Yes my Btech ECA was ready on March 13 and and soft copy sent to me. I paid for my Msc evaluation on March 23rd. I also thought it will be same $233.91 but was surprised to see $120.91. I chose for the ECA be delivered to my relatives house in Toronto. My Btech ECA got there on the 15th of March.

manlikegb:


@Amakyzuu, Was the B.Tech evaluation already completed before you commenced evaluation for your M.Sc?

I'm asking because I helped someone pay(233cad) for her M.Sc evaluation this year, whereas, she had already evaluated her B.Sc in 2014. I want to know maybe I made a mistake by paying 233 instead of a lower amount.

Thanks.

Virt:
Hello House,

Who has contact for Uniuyo transcript. Your response will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm currently evaluating Msc transcript for UNIUYO... It's handled at the PG school... Undergraduate transcripts are handled by the student affairs + registra's office, I don't have any contact there...

Issyman:


Write a small letter with your reference number as part of the title informing them you prefer standard delivery and fax it to them. In addition make use of the contact us form to inform them of same.

Ok. Thank you

Elfmannisback:

Do u pay extra when adding another certificate? I thought it was IQAS that does require extra cash.

I did... Paid $233.91 for Btech and $120.91 for Msc. Got the first ECA in March.

Elfmannisback:

No be 233.91cad again?

I had evaluated my Btech degree @ $233.91. After I received my Msc degree, I applied to evaluate it @$120.91. I think the cost is lower when u want to add another certificate.
