Hello everyone,
Concerning WES ECA, will I also receive an online assessment report apart from the hardcopy that would be sent to my address.?

No online report, just the hard copy.

MrsM:
Hello everyone! Do we need to send both OND and HND results to Wes for assessment? Or will just the HND do? Thanks in anticipation of your replies!

Hi, it's the same cost if you send just one or if you send the two certificates so I advise you send both. Cheers.

smartmum:
thank you very much but pls which link do I use to mail them.

You can reach them via this email address, cio-sydney-search-enquiry @ cic.gc but I believe you should send your entire package back to them by courier with a cover letter explaining what you observed and requesting them to review again as earlier advised. All the best.

Monjay:
Hello Labiz001,

Please, kindly assist on how to make payment of CAD$150 to CIC Accra Visa Office. I have a new baby to add but don't know the payment options. Can I pay through credit card? How did you go about the payment when you added your new baby?

Thank you

Hi, for online payments, please use this link, https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en

You register at the location, make your payment with your card and a receipt is instantly generated and sent to your email. Print the receipt and add to the documents you are sending to AVO in respect of your baby. Cheers.

Kirri:
My ancestors I'm here again

As regards PNP pls can I apply to more than one province?

Thanks in anticipation

Yes please, this is to increase your chances of receiving a successful nomination but be aware that all your applications will be saved in the general CIC database and they will be available for all the provinces to see.
An applicant was recently asked by province A why they should nominate him when he also applied to Province B. In the end, they did not nominate him. Just be prepared for what may happen either way, cheers.

Hello people,

I got info from my bank that CIC attempted my card twice yesterday (a minute interval) and couldnt go through. What i discovered was an error from my bank who placed hold on my account without informing me.

My bank has removed the hold and the account is free to be debited. In this case, will CIC attempt to debit again or should i call CIC and explain and that they should go ahead to debit my account.

please this is urgent.

Thank you

Hi, CIC usually attempts to debit cards across 4 to 6 days. So your card will be tried again however, you can update CIC to retry using a CSE and explain the circumstance, https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Pls advice
I'd like to be assessed on my current job as a marketing/sales manager. My only
problem is I just got the job just 5mths ago. Though during my Nysc, I worked as a marketing staff with NTA. I can get a ref letter for that . Do you think i can pass for a marketing/sales manager Noc? Though I have a 5 yes experience in retail sales. Marketing manager is more professional :

You have said it yourself, you need at least 1 year full time work experience in an eligible NOC to be considered. If you can get an employment reference letter that says you worked as marketing/sales manager for at least a year, you're good to go.

livepluslife:
Hi all,
What if I have worked as a shop manager trainee and then as a sales manager. That's two different Nocs. How do I go about it.

Hi, fill in both occupational classes but you can only indicate one on the basis of which your application will be assessed.

ejirostephen:
Moryn All,

I am tryin to complete my E.E profile. I have both bsc and an mba. But I only sent my mba to Wes for verification jst to save time. My question is dis;

- On the Education History part of E.E do I need to fill in only my Mba since I ll be needn Wes cert number or I should fill in my Bsc too as part of my education history. Note: I did not evaluate or send my Bsc cert for evaluation. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi, you can fill in your B. Sc but you wont get any points for it since it was not evaluated.

unibadan:
Hello my good people.

Please i need your guide on this which is critical to me at this point.

NOC 1114
Encashment: CC
App rcvd: Dec 09, 2014

Based on the available info, i have called CIC (+16139444000) three times in the last 3 months. The recent call was made today and a guy responded. His response was that he can see my application on the system and that it was received on Dec 09, 2014 and aside that there is no other information available on the system. I pressed him to give further info or perhaps he should ask someone in the office what exactly is happening with my application. He could not give me info that is not in the system.

Please house, in this situation, what is the assumption and what step should i take in this case. I would be glad for a quick response.

Thank you all

Hi, you were rather fortunate that he even agreed to check the system and confirmed that your application was captured. Most times, they just tell people to send an email and end the call. Ofcourse, they take forever to reply the email (one week to six weeks if at all) and it's only to say your application is under review. You could try to get GCMS notes on your file but it takes about 6 weeks to get feedback and it may tell you the same thing you just found out on the phone!
I would say you should just relax and spend this time doing other stuff like researching more about Canadian certifications in your field of work, the province where you will live and generally how you can prepare for the road ahead. That's what I did and it worked out well

Dear all.....
CC: Solomonwis, Damkollins

Guys, i urgently need your advice/suggestions for my Girlfriend, she got a mail from Accra yesterday. Saying that they are now completing her application for the permanent resident visa but she needs to provide Financials requirements necessary for a family of 1 (CAD$11,824), that's about 2Million Naira to show that she has enough money to support herself in Canada. And she needs to send an updated bank statements, fixed deposit certificates, etc in 30 days.

So, the problem now is that she doesn't have that kind of money in her account or fixed anywhere at the moment. But we can rise the money quickly from families and friends , but my fear is wont they be suspicious that she just went to borrow the money somewhere?

Please guys, from you experiences whats the best option to handle this..... because we are really confuse on what to do now.....

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi, you have already answered your question by highlighting the fact your girlfriend boxed herself into a corner by using her POF instead of keeping strictly for the purpose for which it is intended. Yes, we all have financial challenges and need funds for everyday living but the priority of the FSW application should be upper most in our minds so it's best to leave your POF jeje and solve your financial needs fro other sources until you get your PR visa. Since any bulk inflows or little but rapid credits into her bank account statement now will immediately arouse suspicion, I would suggest fixing the money immediately in fixed deposit and sending the FD certificate to AVO. It's not foolproof but it's what I can advise. Just back it up with prayers. Ofcourse, if anyone has a better solution, you're welcome to try it but take note, time is ticking. All the best.

Rebecks015:
Hello All, @solomonwis and @ Damkollins

Please I still await for my results from WES, however if it does come.

Can I start swimming in the pool? You can create your EE profile but you wont be able to proceed until you have your educational evaluation

Note: My passport expires October 2015 or should I renew my passport or Is my passport information needed when I create my profile on EE. It's advised that you get a passport which has more validity to avoid issues later however this does not stop you from creating an EE profile at this time

I want to start swimming as soon as i get my WES results.

Thanks.

Hi, see above

shopaker:
Thanks for your quick response sir.

Am I already in the pool as I have created my profile? If you meet the requirements, you will placed into the Express Entry pool of candidates. You will get a message in your MyCIC account to let you know.

You will be given a score using a ranking system based on factors that have been shown to help immigrants prosper in Canada. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be invited to apply for permanent residence. There have been five draws to issue Invitations to Apply to candidates from the pool so far.

If you are accepted into the Express Entry pool, you should start getting any supporting documents you may need for your application for permanent residence. You could get an Invitation to Apply at any time.
What province can improve my chance ?am an accountant Accountants are needed in all provinces but you may consider Ontario where you have the financial capital of Canada, that is, Toronto
What is the minimum score point for me to be selected? The minimum score of the last draw on March 27 was 453. The minimum points have been dropping since the program began, the scores from earliest to latest are as follows; 886, 818, 808, 778, 481 and now 453.

Hi, see above, all the best

smartmum:
Pls Oga solo. For fsw my account was debited since Feb 14. I have not heard from them. Do I still exercise patient

Hi, permit me to say that you should have received PER by now. If you have not, you can request for a status update using a Case Specific Enquiry at this link, https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

All the best

@damkollins, hi chief. Just a heads up, we'll be seeing sooner than earlier planned. Still work on that stuff o, lol. You are the Moses of the times and must lead all to the promised land.

Hey guys, just found this topic on Nairaland. It's the Microsoft Office competion, a good idea for those of us who have younger ones we wish to encourage in getting into tech, https://www.nairaland.com/1941430/olubunmi-agusto-emerges-first-nigerian#27190301
I happen to know the previous winner and can vouch that it's real.

This is a good initiative to engender and encourage tech interest in our youths. I guess that is why it is targeted at those under 22 years before they get swallowed up by the distracting Facebook and Twitter culture. Kudos to the competition organisers, ReadManna. I will follow the competition closely.

Rather unfortunate that Nwoke has such poor musical appreciation. But then he is certainly entitled to his taste or lack of it. Dare's album is revolutionary. It's arguably the first time a Nigerian musician has released a full lenght album that caters to various tastes and blends different genres of music. The album has something for everyone. Well, almost everyone. "Escalade" is a ballad that talks of a young man's desire to have a meaningful relationship with a lady regardless of his small cash flow. "Young man", the single previously released several years ago, is a solid rap song, was a club favourite too. "Fuji" was a daring surprise to me but if you understand yoruba or appreciate fuji music, you'll feel this track for real especially with it's hip hop twist. "Eko Ile" is a salute to Lagos and life in this great city. Even if you weren't born and bred here, you can still relate to the stories about "Eko" as sung by various artistes on Storm Records (Storm Records All-Stars). "Escalade Part 2" is a club jam and also good for cranking out of your car stereo. I played this song at high volume while driving through Surulere and got much love and saw lots of bobbi[color=#000099][/color]ng heads just feeling this great remix. Never used to like Dare 'cos I used to percieve him as vain but with this album, all is forgiven.

Sorry, all First Inland bank tests and interviews are by invitation only. Infact, they don't take more than twenty five people in a recruitment batch. If you were not invited for a recruitment exercise, don't bother to waste your transport fare and time. They don't believe in an "all-comers" affair. If you haven't got your NYSC discharge or exemption certificate, be patient and wait for your time. Those who have, just submit your sealed CV addresed to the "Group Head, People Management Group, Head Office, Lagos at any of the branches and pray! Tests/Interviews are held in Lagos, Port Harcourt or Abuja. It is advisable to do your hustling in these locations as well as for jobs in other banks because this is where most organisations have their regional offices. Mohammmed has to go to the mountain 'because the mountain sure aint moving nowhere![color=#000099][/color]

Hello eveseh, thanks for the welcome. And hi to you too, dominobaby. Nice to meet you and by the way, I'm black as I wanna be, lol. Take care.[color=#006600][/color]

[color=#006600][/color]This is really a non-issue. Your ex is most likely to get married after you break up for whatever reason to someone else. That she/he got married to someone close to you just underscores the fact that it's a small world. At this point, just search your self and see if you really need to keep up a relationship with them. If things are amicable all round, then you can maintain contact. But if things were messy in the past and are likely to adversely influence the present, respect yourself and keep your distance. Marraige is not Sesame Street where everybody is welcome.
