Hello Beyunce. Lol. @Quebec. People are speculating that Saskatchewan will re-open again on the 20th like they have done for the past 3 months. Maybe you should register and get your documents ready. In other news, you submitted your application to NB yet? AOR yet? Pls share.

If Sakatchewan open this 20th, snow will fall in naija.lol
Jokes apart, 20th is Saturday and I do not see that happening, as they do not work Saturdays. Apart from that my Noc ain't on their in demand list also, so no way there for me, unless they include my Noc.
Sent my docs to NB oo. Still waiting on AOR. Not worried much anyways since I'm sure it delivered. If I hear nothing by the end of tomorrow, I will call them on Monday. How about yours? AOR?

This thing is like an impossible task. I was able to log in 8mins before start time of 8.30, upon transfer into the virtual room i met about 150k ppl on queue. Cant understand how thats possible when site was under maintenance till the 8.30.

Reason why I didn't even bother with Quebec. Their processing time na to die for again.

yinyinola:
Good morning all. Please does nayone know if New Brunswick has got their own occupation list peculiar to them? or do they go with the IRCC general list of approved occupations? I remeber Saks has got their own list which is drawn from the general IRCC list but has to do with peculiar demands in their province. I have checked their website over and over again and it seems they go with the general list...please advise if there is a list peculiar to them and where to view this. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have this same date of birth issue, but my transcript has only been sent this week before I discovered. Please what do u think I should do?

Your transcript is suppose to be sealed and sent directly by the school so how did you find out if your evaluation report is not even ready?

I don't know about sending in another transcripts before evaluation is completed but usually, a new transcript with your correct date of birth should be sent to Wes by your school. This is usually done after evaluation as been completed. But since you are ahead. Your best bet now is to contact Wes and inform them about this, also ask if they can ignore the transcript on transit/delivered while the new corrected transcript is sent. From 3pm naija time you can contact Wes on 14169720070. Have enough credit on your line because you can be on hold for 10 to 15minutes.

Hello Beyunce, Bigfido. Please what did you take along to the New Brunswick Infomation Session. I'm due to attend the one for 19th. Also, what exactly happened at the event, I just would like to have an idea of duration of the event. Many thanks

You will get an email a week or 2 weeks before the session, with the required documents to take along.
But during the uae sessions, they required just the completed EOI form, ielts (and that of spouse if you are claiming points for their ielts), and ECA report.
The event was approximately 1hr.30minutes, they played a video about NB for 15/20minutes, then talked about some major points about the nomination process and the cic stage.
After that they conducted a pre-assessment interview and issued ITA to those that met their requirement.

Angel005:
Hello House,

Please on WES, do I need to evaluate both my OND and HND or just the HND?

I think it is better you evaluate both. You might end up getting evaluated for two or more degree.

Bumdesh:
Please house help me answer this question regarding POF.
Is it only ur parents that can give you deed of gift? Can an uncle or relative not bearing the same name with you give u funds n take the deed of gift?

Also will they need to submit their Bnk statement to show that they r not impaired by the gift, along with the deed?

Please can someone help me answer this ASAP Godbless

Anyone can gift you money. I personally think it will look more reasonable when a parent, spouse or close relative is the one giving you the said amount, especially if it is a large amount.
Ideally it is better to have them transfer the money from their bank account to yours, or issue out a check that you can have a copy to show evidence of this gift from them. If it is a bank transfer you can have them print out a page from their account showing when the amount was transferred to you.
So,to cut my long story short. you only need a gift deed from the donor to the donee, declaring that he/she is gifting you the said amount from his or her back account name, number or check number blah blah out of love and you are not obligated to pay back etc. and also, you need to show where the money was transferred from or how it was given to you,either check copy or bank statement history showing where the money left the donor's account.

morgan2006:
ok. why I requested for the certificate letter wa because of New Brunswick provincial nominee program checklist. I dont want to default during screening of my application.

Don't worry you don't need it for any part of this application. If you can't get it, the normal bank reference letter and bank statement will work.
That's what I will be using for my app also.
Good luck

morgan2006:
Hello house, Please how do I go about a bank certification letter? is there any template for this? My bank(UBA)does not know what this is and they are not willing to listen. Please seniors advice me on how to tackle this.

You actually do not have to get certificate letter from your bank.
What you need is the normal reference letter they issue out (signed and stamped) and your bank statement.

gonon:
Actually, I am trying to know the CAD$ exchange rate. Cos cash at hand now is.... There is God.

Okay then I see. Valid reasons then.
It will be well don't worry much.

gonon:
Hahahaha. I want to wait for my IELTS score before doing my evaluation. Yes it's going to be from WES but I am evaluating my UK MSc. I am praying for a high score like mad.... Also, I have replied your pm.

Lol. Is there a reason why you are waiting? There is no harm in starting your ECA, you never can tell you might need it sooner than you think.

Ruby31:
The Dubai session for the NBPNP was OVERWHELMING like beyunce said!

Hubby did not get interviewed till 8pm.

Thankfully, he got his ITA within 3 mins of the interview as he had previous work experience in one of the newly updated high demand jobs.

Now the race to quickly send full application is on!

Congrats to everyone who got their ITA and goodluck with the rest of the process.

In other news, SINP is open.... Sent my application yesterday as i had already uploaded almost all my documents that last time it opened but the cap was reached before i could submit.

Hurry up and send your applications and Good luck.

Godspeed to you too.

walexlo78:
Yes, turnout was explosive. I was there for the 3pm session and also got ITA. Are you still in Dubai? still around for few days.

Leaving today. Glad it turned out great for us all.
Enjoy the rest of your stay.

irondome:
Send am sharp sharp, they ain't going over their quota oo, so most likely it would be on first come first serve basis. I trust those Indians to Currier their application the same day.

You try sha, flew all the way to Dubai for Province nomination; impressive!!!!

Lol. @flew all the way to Dubai.
Wetin woman go do.

I am surely going to courier my application as soon as I get home.
Thanks

powermike9999:
Thanks for d info @beyunce . I will like to ask a few questions on d NBPNP event u attended;
1-Did u take any POF along for d event or did dey request for it at anytime for d EOI?
2-What point did u have to be invited.
3- Aside ur Cv did u take along any letter from ur previous &current employers showing no of hours,supervisor etc.
4-Can u help explain if u added anytin special to ur package.

For the info session.
1. You do not need anything else apart from your completed EOI form, ( please calculate your scores on the EOI form accurately), ietls result (original) for you only or if you are claiming points for spouse ielts then also take along theirs. Also take along your ECA report too.
2. To be invited to attend the session. First check that your code is on their in demand list.( I forgot to add that at a point during the interview because of the crowd, they told everyone that their Noc wasn't on their in demand list, to not waste their time waiting for an ITA interview, as they will not give ITA to them, frankly they were exhausted, and needed a way to clear the crowd).
3. I didn't package anything. I only emailed my past and previous work experience as cv. Thankfully two of them is in their in demand Noc list. Then I emailed also my ielts result and requested permission to attend Dubai session Which they replied. Funny thing, they didn't even take the welcome to attend serious. Because, people that didn't get the mail but just registered were interviewed and issued ITA.

If you are interested in New Brunswick please check their express entry site http://livinginnb.ca here you will see the available sessions in different countries for the year, they update as soon as they are sure of the next country a session will be holding.
Go to this site http://welcomenb.ca/content/wel-bien/en/immigrating_and_settling/how_to_immigrate/new_brunswick_provincialnomineeprogram/New_Brunswick_express_entry/EligibilityRequirements.html to view the list of their occupation in demand. If yours is there, then you can follow the steps required to attend a session.
I hope this helps.

@bubsykay
Congrats. Happy for you and your family.
Thank you for sharing with us. Go enjoy Canada.

Thanks I checked my account on wes and it says file under review, I called them and they said the same..they also advise I should not use the old one ..but am just wondering why it should take so long. Because its not a new report and i dont think a new verification is needed.

This is strange. Happened with my spouse Wes report too. But didn't take this long. i guess mayb now they have more workload as a lot of people are at the Wes stage for EE. Be patient then.

Guys, As promised (my info session).
I must say the turn out for the information session was overwhelming.
After my 1pm session, the line for the ITA pre-assessment interview was something else. I stood for 3 hours before it got to my turn.

Thankfully I got an invitation to apply. Almost everyone with their complete documents there actually got an ITA.

Although I don't understand how the nomination will work. Because they have 425 quota for express entry and they have issued out over a 1000 ITA in Abu Dhabi and Dubai already if not 2,000.

Can't wait to get back home and send my application.
Godspeed to us all.

bigfido:
hi guys,

did anyone go for NBPNP information session in Dubai or Abu-Dhabi?

did you get ITA?

please brief us

I will be attending today. Will surely brief the house on the outcome.

Fusion23:
Hello everyone just want to confirm, my naija uni made a stupid mistake of wrong date of birth on my transcript, My wes result is already out but with a note on it about the date of birth not being consistent.
Have sent wes a new transcript with my correct date of birth but its over two weeks...

If you have not called.
You will have to write a formal request then call them to confirm they received your new transcript with the correct age

Ruby31:
Cutiefy, please how did you sign your EOI form?

There is nowhere on the form that shows where to sign but the instruction say the form must be filled and signed.

Thank you.

Sign below the form and write your name in print.

Hello Seniors,
My profile on the express entry expired today, Kindly explain in details how i will go about creating a new profile and the job bank aspect which makes it quite complex. Thanks

I am no senior but will have a go...
Create a new EE profile.
Then log on your existing job bank account. And at the account section, you will find update EE details.
enter your new EE code and new job bank code.

Segunadebayo47:
Good day house. Great being here.
Please, would like to know if having an ECA report is same as having a Canadian degree. Cos am just applying for EE and am asked if I have a Canadian degree tho I have my ECA report.

It is not the same.
You do not have a Canadian degree. So click NO.
Then another question will come up, if you have had your foreign degree evaluated click Yes.
Then pick which evaluating body you used and enter your reference number.
And pick the correct Canadian evaluation as reported on your ECA report.

Gymme:
That is right if you reside in Nigeria only but otherwise, you should get your police certificate immediately you are in the Express Entry pool. Pls read the info on this link:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/invitations.asp

Is the poster not in Nigeria? I replied based on me thinking he/she currently resides in Nigeria.
I Will add the other part about not being in Nigeria to my post, just incase.

flyboi1:
Please whats the process of getting a police report in lagos. Thanks.

Because of validity issue, your Police certificate should be processed after you receive your ITA. (I.e if you reside in Nigeria) but if you are currently in another country and have not been in Nigeria since you left, then you can go ahead and start with your police certificate along side ECA and ielts.
it's a simple process and it takes mints/hours if you are in Nigeria, if not you wil need to send your finger prints and passport photograph down to Nigeria and ask a relative/friend to help you with the process at any Nigeria police headquarters.
If you are in Nigeria I suggest you focus on your ielts and Eca to determine your CRS score, in other to decide on your next step to take.

All the best.

You want to send or you want to receive?

I want to send.

@ JesusDWay

Please as regards using fixed deposit, would they verify or ask for how long the fund had been fixed before ITA and how the fund accrued up to the fixed amount from my personal account (primary source) before it was fixed?
I.e. is it a problem if I fix the fund on Monday n I get ITA say by July n submit the fixed deposit certificate as my
POF by same July .?
Do I have to explain how that amount added up in my personal account before fixing it or just the certificate is enough proof?
Thanks as I await your response.
Ideas and opinions are much welcome from other people in the house.
God bless us all .

You might get lucky and get away with it. But what will you do when they request for bank statement?
AVO can ask for bank statement at anytime. So I will personally say, if someone is gifting you the money, Have them write a statement saying the money is a gift and won't be collected nor will you pay back.
But this money needs to be in your account through out the entire process. So even if you are attaching a fixed deposit certificate and they ask for your statement in future you have already mentioned and have the letter stating this.

Please all, I need help with my question. I will appreciate your quick response.
Any idea how much banks charge for AED? I have looked at 10 pages so far nothing on AED.

MJBA:
@Beyunce got d mail for the dubai session also (20th of July)......even though am secretly wishing for a #miracle#ITA# b4 den.

Fingers crossed for you. Hopefully your miracle happens and you do not need to spend money for travel.

Why are you interested in Qatar then?

CM2003:
Hello Gurus in the house,

My international passport is still in my maiden name, my masters certificate is in my maiden name, the name am known with in my office is my maiden name even though i hv done change of name nd paper publication, the challenge is should I go ahead nd register for ielts nd do cert verification with my maiden passport attached? Or I hv to travel to Abuja to do a new m passport in my marriage name? Pls note I hv a family of 3
Thnx for yur response nd God bless you all.
@ all pls can any1 shed light on how to go about this Qatar visa cos i got d mail to attend the NB info.session slated for 13/07/16

I personally will say go with your maiden name. But if you do not mind going through the process of getting another passport in your marriage surname then by all means. I have no idea on how to change surname on passport as I didn't change mine. Hopefully someone else can come explain here.
Your marriage certificate is enough to proof that you are married to your husband. You do not need to change your name. Unless you personally prefer to change it.

MJBA:
@ all pls can any1 shed light on how to go about this Qatar visa cos i got d mail to attend the NB info.session slated for 13/07/16

Sorry, I know nothing about Qatar that was why I choose Dubai.
I got details for Dubai session for the 20th of July.
