I will appreciate if the gurus in the house can advise me on this matter. I have two children with a man who i do not currently live with but have plans to marry in September.Due to the way the points are dropping, i am hoping to get an ITA in a few weeks time.
This is my question: Should i claim to be single and then update my status with IRCC after the wedding? (bearing in mind im single until legally married in September). Also, would this affect my points in any way? I will appreciate honest resoonse... Thanks

Since you are single now you shd apply as single with children. you can then update cic after your marriage

Ladon7:
Pls more advice from the gurus in da aose

search pof. you ll find advice

Ladon7:

I am a civil servant wit spouse n 3 kids, u know say civil servant no get get money nah ,however I av a registered company but I Dont av any bank account opened in the name of the company, my friends do help me run my personal acct with millions,like deposit and withdraw within few days,they promised to leave the fund in my account as soon as I get ITA till I finish the whole process, my question now is must the required fund sit in my account for 6 months before I can print out the statement for application and secondly will VO raise eyebrow with such money that is entering my account being a civil servant, pls I need ur advice cos I Dont want to be a victim.

Its good to leave it for 6months. if there's a lump sum transferred to your acct its good to give some explanation.

Good day all,

Please i need your help and genuine opinion. I used an agent for my EE application.I got a request sometime ago from IRCC for last 6 months statement of account and I told my agent that I don't have it because I resigned after submitting the application last year and gave just a declaration for that and my agent told me not to worry as he has it under control. This is the mail my agent sent to me from IRCC last week below.

I need your candid advice as I cannot tell IRCC that my agent used a false document on my behalf which will lead to outright councellation.

WHAT CAN I DO as I plan to 1st withdraw it from the agent:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada as a member of the provincial nominee class. I have reviewed your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it. It appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada. Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of the Act. I have reasonable grounds to believe that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, which states: 16(1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.
Specifically, I have concerns that the Diamond Bank statements which you have provided in support of your application and which have been verified as altered by the issuing authority are fraudulent. Further these bank statements were the only objective evidence of your work experience, and as such you have provided no objective evidence that you have the work experience claimed. Section 40(1) IRPA states that: A permanent resident or foreign national is inadmissible for misrepresentation (a) for directly or indirectly misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act. Please note that if a senior immigration officer finds that the misrepresentation is material to your application for a permanent resident visa you could be found to be inadmissible under ection 40(1)(a) of the IRPA. A finding of such inadmissibility would render you inadmissible to Canada for a period of five years according to paragraph 40(2)(a) which states: ‘the permanent resident or the foreign national continues to be inadmissible for misrepresentation for a period of five years following, in the case of a determination outside Canada, a final determination of inadmissibility under subsection (1) or, in the case of determination in Canada, the date the removal order is enforced.’ I would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond to this information. You will have 30 days from the date of this letter to make any representations in this regard. If you do not respond to this request within 30 days (by 2017/07/09), your application will be assessed based on the information currently on file and may result in the refusal of your application. Please note: All documents must be accompanied by English or French translations. When original documents are requested, notarised documents are not acceptable. The above information/documents must be received in your MyCIC account by the date stated above. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.

It seems your agent falsified records to show payment of salary in the bank statement. this made them doubt your work experience. u need to prove your employment with employment letter and reference letter

Hello all,

Please can anyone assist with response to my question. This will be appreciated. Thank you.

Use CSE. You will have a place to upload after typing your message. Try follow it up afterwards. Call +16139444000

Hi Triv, Thanks for your prompt reply. I am also interested in getting them, but I think it is not possible to order from Nigeria. I think it is only available to people in canada. We will need to have a Canadian contact, and also fill a consent form for the contact to be granted access to apply on our behalf . The wait period is really unbearable& having no clue as to why ... .. OMG!!

I think you can also request from some other sites. There's a thread on canadavisa on gcms notes

Triv:
Wow in April? That's fast o! I think I'll order gcms notes. Thanks

Send a case specific enquiry as well. Check your spam/promotional mails to make sure it hasn't come into them

miella:
I wouldn't take such risk though! Did you write yours word for word?

Yes I did.

mokaz:
@miella.......Thank you for pointing that out......It is well noted.

Actually it can be word for word. The important thing is that you actually performed those duties

Jolao:
Hello House,
I'm totally new to this thread, though i have gotten a lot of priceless information but i have a question.

My husband is the primary applicant, He's a medical doctor, he practised for a year and he presently works in a Health management organisation (HMO), is it possible to combine the two work experience, to claim points for 3years or just stick with the one year Hospital experience?

depends on his role in the HMO. If he works in a clinic in the HMO then you can combine it. there's also a job title named managers in healthcare. He could check if his job duties qualify under.

Ladon7:
good day , please is it a must I use my salary account for POF, cos I av loan that am repaying and I am just token left that enters my acct.
my other question, can one put money for pof after ITA and wait for like 50day before applying, then support the fund with LOE of sales of property. ur advice pls

Its not a must. you can use a fixed deposit account as well. you dont need to wait 50days just add the Loe and apply.

IamIye:
Good morning all.

I notified CIC about a change in my marital status on May 8th (Submitted my application & received AOR in April).

I used the Case Specific Inquiry form and also sent a mail to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca.

Received this email today:

Dear Madam,

Thank you for contacting our office. We received your inquiry. Please note that your application is currently being processed at the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia. For all general inquiries please refer to our website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp

Please submit any inquiries via our web form and your inquiry will be redirected to the correct office:

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx.

You may also contact the Call Centre, toll-free from within Canada, at 1-888-242-2100.

I thought they were going to send a link for me to upload docs for my spouse or has this changed? And does this mean my application isn't being processed in Ghana?

try submitting again via the given link

MzWalls:
Good Afternoon Everyone.

I've been a silent follower. I have learnt so much from this thread. Thanks to the founders and contributors.

I intend entering the pool by July/August. I recently sent credentials to WES. I should have 427 points. But with regards to POF, a family friend has offered to give me the money as a loan (I currently have just what i need fir all the processing) and i pay back from Canada.

Please, how do i go about it? I can only get the funds after ITA. Thus, it wouldn't have spent 6 months in ny account and there would be a sudden surge in my account balance.

Any ideas/suggestions on how i can make it work would be appreciated.


Thank you.

Get a declaration letter from a close relative stating the money is a gift, mention his source of income. you can use the person's letter head. attach statement of account showing the transfer from the person to your account. Adding your sponsors 6months statement of account will be helpful if the sponsor is not transfering from a business account.

veleta:
Good day everyone, please on this POF issue,an applicant has 1.1m,then intends to use 2M from his Mum as gift deed to augment his POF, can he also attach his Stock's Statement of Account worth 1.2M as part his POF? He is a single applicant.
He has some plots of land he bought some years ago but the land is not registered so it's only receipts that he has and not Deed of Assignment.Won't it be difficult to sell as mere receipt won't suffice as evidence of sale.
Thanks for your prompt response

He can get a declaration letter from his mum with her letterhead if she has a business stating the funds is a gift from her. She can explain the source of her funds. Also attach a statement of account showing transfer from her account. That's what I did and my application has been progressing. I also validated this on canadavisa forum.
I see no reason for someone waiting for 6 months to submit the application. What if the scores go up. Except you prepare in advance. I believe the gift option can work fine for single applicants getting a gift from a close relative and showing source of funds. Generally having some of the funds in your account helps as well especially for married applicants.

peppers:
Please assist

the format for reference letter is on the first page of the forum. Make sure you include most of the duties in your NOC occupation

FirstTImeUser:
Please I need enlightenment on this. Are there chances for me or my wife or both at the same time?

like my people will say na page 1 of this thread get you. you guys qualify as skilled workers though

Feygbe:
Thank you. Do the funds need to have been transferred to my acct for any certain period before?

No

Babachi:
search the forum for discussions on gift deed. you can also use a declaration letter from a relative giving you the funds using his letterhead. I used that and didnt have any problems

cc feygbe
Also attach your account statement showing transfer of funds

Feygbe:

I think you should answer truthfully any other question abt govt activity

Onyeenyeh:
Good Morning All,

I am new on this thread, and just kick-started my express entry application (I literally feel like I have been sleeping on a bicycle). I have tried to read through the thread, so forgive me, if any of my questions are repetitive.

Brief Summary:
Age: 24
Marital Status: Single
Highest Educational level: MPH ( Master of Public Health)
Experience: I have 3+ years, but will only be claiming 1+, as I am not sure of getting reference letters from other places
English Language Proficiency: I am registered to take the IELTS General in the coming month, but from my IELTS Academic, I have a CLB of 9. So hoping to replicate, or even get a CLB of 10, hopefully.

Now to my questions:

1. Is there anyone here who has migrated and works with NGOs or in the area of Health promotion in Canada? What is the outlook like, in terms of how long it took you to land a job?
2. Also, regarding POF, if i understand correctly, I can decide to go with the gift deed option. (a) Can I get a gift deed from my uncle (b) Do I need to wait for six months?
3. I have a three year old cousin who lives with me. Is there any possibility of including him in my application?
4. Between WES and IQAS, which is recommended for evaluation of a foreign degree?

Thank you for taking out time to answer. Hopefully, in the near future, I will be in a position to also answer someone else's questions.

As for the gift deed u dnt have to wait for 6months.
dont think you can add your cousin to your application. try checking for sponsorship application to know if he qualifies
IQAS has been faster of recent

Wiskolo:
Hello House,

I really want to appreciate you for the work done in enlightening people.

Please I need help...

1. I already began a PNP application, but I had to withdraw the process since I subsequently got ITA. Please I need to confirm if they do search if an applicant has applied before on a PNP and confirm the information provided on the PNP with the information submitted for ITA. (Kindly note that the ITA gotten was not through PNP nomination).

2. If i reject ITA gotten and withdraw my profile in a bid to create another, will they cross check the new account with the old profile to see any inconsistency?

The reason for my question is I noticed some inconsistencies in the information uploaded for the PNP account(which was subsequently submitted in the EE pool and was used in getting ITA nomination). I intend correcting this by rejecting the ITA and creating a new profile entirely with the appropriate records.

Thank you for the anticipated help.

1. They wont check information on a withdrawn pnp against your EE profile
2. They wont check your old profile against the new one

40manlappy:
Then you should support it with a letter of explanation (LOE).

If your payslips and bank statements evidencing your salary payments are available, add them too to make your claim more credible.

By the way, is your former employer not willing to provide the reference or you just don't want to ask?

He still needs to quote his duties in the letter

obitee69:
Pls on proof of funds is it the money left in an account over a period or just the balance as at that date

They ask for 6months balance

perks:
Can u please share ur timeline so far.

ITA - Feb 10
AOR - Mar 5
Medicals passed - April 26
Background Check in progress - April 26
Background Check Not Applicable - May 8

esosa4real:
Hi Babachi and itee, i just bumped into ur posts while trying to catch up posts from behind, just to stay updated.....I hope you guys have raised CSE. See you will need to visit canadavisaforum dot com, check the "Reasons for Rejection" thread and you will be suprised at the reasons for rejection. Some are not justified because CIC sometimes doesn't keep to its words, obviously because it's VO dependent.

Please i beg you, if you know you didn't upload a pdf of degree+ECA+IELTS, there is a 99% chance it would be rejected. Pleaseeeee raise a CSE now!

I am not speaking out of authority but experience, Godbless you!

thanks for your concern but I have passed the document check phase. My medicals have been passed. My background check has changed from In progress to Not applicable. According to info on canadavisa, I am hopefully due for ppr soon

Pinkygrace:
House if you withdraw your profile and you are recreating it, what will be the answer to this question. ''Have you applied for Express Entry before" what should be the answer YES OR NO.

NO PREVIOUS ITA

the answer is yes, why are you creating a new one

Spatz81:
My people, this may seem like putting the carriage before the horse.....kindly indulge..... is it possible to check/verify that all documents were duly uploaded after submission of application? (there is a doubting Thomas in me wanting to verify)..

Thanks for your patience.

there is a link to see the eAPR but you wont be able to look through the documents submitted

kike100:
Thanks y'll for allaying my fears. ITA received & document gathering in place.

Is it allowed to convert my hubby's salary account to a joint account as POF?

i believe so. just add a loe

veleta:
Good afternoon everyone. Please,on this Deed of Gift, what kind of evidence do you upload when the donor transfers the money using normal Neft transfer at the bank. Thank you

Add your bank statement showing donors name and letter of explanation.

HTC2017:
Hello House,

Quick one: can someone source for funds within the first 20 days of the 90 days and keep it in one's account for about 60 days before submitting application? This will be fixed and no deductions be made till PPR. I know two guys whose applications were refused because of POF even though they eventually made the target, lumps sums perhaps were frowned at. Deed of gift, regardless.

Cc: @40manlappy, @vcole, @dupsyhoo, @Ehrnie, @miella

U still will have to explain the source of the funds since its not up to 6months
