Has anyone here done the new 10 years passport who can explain how the process is like in reality?

slimmiee:
It's renewal (5 years) The person who assisted me is not an immigration officer. He works there but not an immigration officer.

Please inform on whether yours is a first time passport or a renewal.
I want to renew and get the new 10 years passport. Is that what you did?
Can you please share the contact of the immigration officer who assisted you?

slimmiee:
Finally got my passport. Renewal (Alausa office)
Capturing date - November 8th
Production date - January 11th
Collected it on Friday 27th.
There's someone at the office who has been following up for me. He was also the one that arranged all my application documents for me. I don't want to keep going and hearing "your passport is not ready, come back next week" so this guy informed me on Friday that it was ready and even collected it for me and sent me a picture while I was at work on Friday. Finally have it at hand on Saturday. All those who captured in November, I guess your passports are ready. I hope you all will get yours soon. Ire o

PPR & CoPPR

My timeline:
Finished TCF & IELTS earlier in the year (2021) WES ECA Apr 2021.
My CRS was about 519 so I changed the order of the languages to lower my score.
Ontario EOI French stream: May 2021.
Confirmation of nomination : June 2021
ITA & ePRA July 2022. AoR came same day application was submitted.
Biometrics: November 2021
April 2022: medical request. Done on 20 April. Passed on 01 May.
VO: Sydney
RFV (ready for visa) mail: 09 May 2022.
Passport sent: 12 May. Passport received: 06 June. (I don't live in Nigeria so wise not to use this stamping turnaround time as reference).

1 thing I observed is that we do worry ourselves needlessly.

1- The day I went to do my ID photographs, the first studio I entered printed 2 really good quality pictures. But there were 2 lines running across my forehead. The photographer said its rolling film whatever and claimed that even if he took another shot the lines would still be there. I paid and went into another studio. The picture quality here was sub-par but there were no lines I added both sets of photos to my package giving IRCC the honour to choose.
Guess what? They preferred the picture with the lines. They did return the other set to me, hidden inside the passport.

2- After I'd sent my passport, I was expecting a notification about counterfoil generation. That's what I have been reading in the CoPR stories. Instead I got a mail from VFS stating "The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No....... has been received from the IRCC Office on Thu Jun 02 2022 and will be dispatched to the Canada Visa Application Centre where you applied or at the courier address provided by you at the time of submission of your application". I became restless. Does this mean that my application was rejected and so no visa generated for me? I went to Google to search for people who got RFV mail and sent their passport but visa was denied them. Of course, I found nothing.

3- When my RFV mail came in, my application status in my profile was showing only medicals as passed. All other assessment elements were still "We are reviewing..."
When the notification of passport leaving IRCC for VFS came only medicals was still showing as passed ( this contributed to the panic).
As I am typing this, even though I've seen the visa on my passport, my status remains "We are reviewing..."

By the way, my CoPR is valid till 01May 2023 -  exactly1year after the medicals passed date not the date I did the medicals nor the date the centre sent my results.

Hi dears,
For those who got their PCC while outside Nigeria and had to add their fingerprints themselves on the form, when the completed PCC was send back to you, was the last section on the fingerprints page "Impressions taken by.... Rank... Date.... Station" filled out by the inspector or simply left blank?

Perhaps you can go through authorities website to find sure answers.

MY LANDING GIST A YEAR AFTER
PART2 COMING.....

Where one works is irrelevent. What matters are one's duties & resposibilities.
Let her go through IRCC site and spent time there reading.
This is the NOC page

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/find-national-occupation-code.html

Her IELTS results are not bad. She did really well with R & L that I doubt those W & S results. Let her request remarking. An additionnal 0.5 in each will go a long way.

jammer777:
Good afternoon guys, please I'll like to ask for a friend who works in CBN what her NOC could be. Also, what are her chances with ielts of L8.5, R9, W7 and S7. 33yrs with MSc.

Thanks

Generally, If an entreprise employs, it is assumed that it is legally able to do so.
The screenshot is what IRCC says about proof of employment. As you can see date of company incorporation is not a required information. So whatever I write here, please consider it a personal opinion based on my limited knowledge.

1- The first question to ask is if the company is willing to provide a letter with all the requested details. If the business was not registered then, I assume your wife was not paid via wire transfer. Then the mode of salary payment should be stated in the letter and this can be accompanied with a cash salary certificate (See page 1 for sample).
2- IRCC sometimes goes about searching for a company online. Do you know if the company has an online presence?
3- Sometimes, IRCC can send a mail to the email shown in the letter requesting confirmation of the details. I am not aware that date of company registration is asked. If a question is not asked, no need for the company saying anything on it.
4- Is your CRS high enough that you won't need a PNP? This is because some PNP nomination is one area people have had to provide company registration documents.

So, in essence the decision is yours. When you apply, whatever the outcome, do come back and share your experience so we all learn more.

All the best.

Please, can someone help with this question?



Unstoppableymx:
Hi Everyone,

I want to use my wife as the principal applicant for our Express entry profile as age has reduced my point but my concern is her working experiences.

Firstly, she has 2 different work experiences which are not related so we want to use 2 different NOCs but the recent job she resigned from and which she want to use as the primary occupation experience was not a registered company as at the time she was with them. The company got registered in June 2019 but she resigned in may 2019.

Can she still use the company for work experience despite not been registered during her time with them?

If you are paid in cash, you can do a cash salary certificate and accompany it with salary payments acknowledgements/vouchers.
Page 1 gives a sample cash salary certificate.

Gospelozy:
Hi everyone,
Please I need a quick help here. I work in a firm where they pay us salary at hand and not bank, although I have tried to amend this but my boss prefares the old method.
My question is how do I show my working salary, if I explain this in a letter to them will they accept it?

Please gurus in the house help me out @zandora, @jesusistheway

Does this mean you are a volunteer at the firm? Volunteer work is not accepted for EE, only paid work is, and it doesn't matter if you are related to the company owner.

Hi everyone,
I need advice on what to do concerning my work experience. I presently work at my Dad's company, a contracting firm(fully incorporated), but I don't get paid a basic salary and I don't pay tax. Can I still apply using my dad's company?]

Well, it seems one law-abiding way to enter Canada now is to get a job.

abnot:
IRCC's mode of operation makes little consideration for visa applicants (both immigrant and non-immigrant category) and I'll advice that people do what they can to avoid having an expired visa/COPR. Many may mock me for this but the Nigerian Immigration E-visa(tourist, business, spousal) regime is a lot more friendly. This is march 2021 not march 2020 when covid19 shut down the world. I feel for potential immigrants who believed so much in the system, sold their belongings, quit their jobs/shut down their businesses and got stuck in the "unable to travel state". Some were even accompanied to the airport by family/friends only to be denied boarding and have since been stuck spending out of their settlement funds.

In the pool many have gone the extra mile working to earn points but have been excluded from draws with some losing 5 points on their birthdays. Many have also had their applications taking more than a year. Everything blamed on Coivd. Covid only exposed the weaknesses of the system

Wow!
This also sounds like a recipe for messing with people's head.
There are accounts of people landing throughout last year and this year.
Some who abided by the CoPR travel restrictions since Mar2020 and whose visa expired are reportedly still awaiting IRCC's response to their mail.
On IRCC website, the wording on entering Canada by land suggests a CoPR holder can get in after spending some weeks in the US. With this letter, threatening legal actions and all, I wonder how this can be interpreted.
Anyway, while patiently waiting, you can be applying for jobs.
