Good Morning Everyone.
Please I’m asking for someone.
So basically his aunt has been sending him allowance since his undergraduate days and now this same aunt wants to sponsor him for his masters. She isn’t his legal guardian by law or anything she is just a family member willing to sponsor him for masters. Now, she has provided him with everything he needs including her bank statements. Now he discovered this whole legal guardian thing which she currently isn’t. Please how can this be sorted out? Can she still sponsor him? Please are there people on here whose aunts or uncles have sponsored and how were they able to do that without them being their legal guardians? Are there documents he can provide as evidence that she has been sponsoring him since that can fly?

Please your responses will be very much appreciated

Good Morning house
Please I have a question to ask.
So I intend to use deed gift as POF.
1) Do I have to show 6months bank statement? Or should I print a bank statement starting from when the gift was transferred to me.
2) In a case where I have to show a 6 months bank statement, if within these 6months I received some lump sums prior to when I even got ITA o, and the money is totally unrelated to my POF or application in any way, do I need to explain these lump sums? Like would I need to write a LOE?


Thank you🙏

Good morning Everyone,

In my EE profile I picked my primary NOC to be pharmacist meaning pharmacy assistant is secondary because I’m a licensed pharmacist. My work history has both pharmacy assistant and pharmacist as NOC codes and job titles.

The pharmacy assistant job is the first job on the list of jobs I have.
I got ITA for being a pharmacy assistant (healthcare draw)
I’m filling the forms post ITA now and I’m being asked what my primary NOC is.

Should I maintain my primary NOC as pharmacist or do I need to change it to pharmacy assistant seeing that it’s what gave me ITA?

If I maintain it as pharmacist hope it won’t be an issue of me mismatching NOC?

I don’t want to do the wrong thing hence why I decided to clarify before picking.

T[quote author=GraciousWords post=133083432]If your first job is the healthcare one - then the CBD requirement is for it to be at least 6 months and done within the last 3 years.

From my understanding it does not need to be your primary NOC - but I have no personal experience here and I could be wrong.

You can edit your application to whatever is the truth that will be confirmed in evidence by the ref letter from your employer. Missing salary payments can be easily explained if you were actually paid in another form and should not be the reason you change your employment dates IMO.

Manually calculate your CRS based on these changes and ensure it remains above the CRS of the draw that got you ITA.



[Thank you so much🙏]

Thank you so much for your prompt response.
I understand all you have said completely.

The one I want to really confirm is the date on the reference letter - 1 year or 10months? I don’t want to submit documents that don’t match.
Would you advice I edit my post ITA profile to match my 8months EE profile and provide reference for 8months? Or leave my Post ITSA profile as one year and provide reference letter for one year.

Please just tell me the one to do based on your experience and what you feel is right

My first job is what gave me ITA I believe

Please help me once again🙏

SHORT ANSWER: Study page 1

LONG ANSWER:

You can edit your profile post ITA provided the changes do not alter your CRS.

Perhaps your score didn't change because your total work experience is 3 years or more. Only your primary NOC needs to be 1 year continuous. Primary NOC does not mean first job. You should still be ok with this 1 year continuous and other short stints (if all your jobs add up to a minimum of 3 years in aggregate) and provided the healthcare NOC/job was done for 6 months minimum.

Salary account credits are not so critical IMO - people have used cash salary certificates - most important is that you actually did the job and were paid and can provide a reference letter from the employer with employment dates matching what is in your application that contains all that IRCC requires (see checklist on page 1 post5).

Long read alert!!!!

So this is my story.
I want to majorly talk about my work experience because that’s where I need help.

Initially when I entered the pool my score was 472 and these were the details of my work experience in summary

Job 1 (one year long)
Job 2 (one year long)
Job 3 ( nine months)
Job 4 ( current job not up to a year)

Meaning that I had 2 full years of work experience.


So I decided to print out my bank statement to be extra sure that should incase I’m asked to submit my first and last payslips for each job I can do that.

So what I basically did was to make sure that I could see the bank credit alerts for the first month and last months for all my jobs.

It was through this bank statement cross checking I now realized that I couldn’t find the bank credit alert for the last two months of my first job.

So I decided to edit my first job in my EE profile (before getting ITA). what I did was, I looked at my bank statement and noted the last month where the credit alert came in and then put that month as the last month for my first job making my first job lesser than a year now.

The new details after editing my profile is now:

Job 1 (ten months)
Job 2 (one year long)
Job 3 ( nine months)
Job 4 ( current job not up to a year)

Meaning I have just one full year of work experience now.


Now this is where everything started. After editing I noticed my score didn’t change it was still 472. I kept checking but the score didn’t change. I got worried then I spoke to my friends who were also in this pr process too so I decided to delete my entire work history and re-enter the details back which I did but my score didn’t change from that 472 it was still like that so I left it saying maybe it’s a glitch with ircc and that maybe with time it will change but it didn’t and now I got ITA


I decided to fill the forms. When I got to personal history, I now noticed that the initial details I put was what automatically inputed in my personal history ( my first job still is dated one year as opposed to the 20months I edited it to before ITA)


My questions now are:

1) which work experience duration do you think ircc has of my first job? 1 year or 10months? And what should my reference letter carry? 10 months or 1 year?

2) in the personal history section, is it safe and okay to edit somethings there? I noticed the start date of my current work is wrong. So I’m asking if it’s okay and won’t be an issue if I should edit it back to what I have on my EE profile.

3) so I got ITA through the healthcare draw and I claimed points for pharmacy assistant. someone was of the opinion that I put my pharmacy assistant reference letter to be one year long. I was now like but my EE doesn’t say one year. The person said it’s better that way and the worst that could happen is to get an ADR to explain why the dates are different. Do you think I should do that or just make EE profile and post ITA form the same date.



Please help me!!!

Good Morning Everyone.
Trust we’re all doing well?

Please I would like to make an inquiry concerning the police clearance certificate.
I’m fully aware that we can register online for that and pay the fees but my question now is how long does it take to get the PCC document itself after paying the fees online because I’ve researched and not seeing anything so I want ask from people that might have paid online on here to know how long it took to get theirs.

Secondly, if I’m to go to their office in Lagos, would it be faster compared to the online one?

Which is the most preferred option considering time.


All your responses will be appreciated.

Thank you🙏

Hello Good evening,
For someone who worked from January to December, got paid in all months but received salary payment in Cash,
How does one show proof of that cash payment?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by Blackshaid: 7:51pm On Oct 01, 2024
Hello, Good evening everyone.
I trust you’ll are doing well. Please I need your guidance in respect to a situation I am in.

So based on my research, I discovered that if you get a NOI from Ontario province, you’ll need to show the first and last pay slip for every work experience you claim you have. Now I want to use my NYSC to claim one year work experience. During my NYSC year, I didn’t get a PPA on time so going by the period I spent in my PPA, it means that I won’t be able to show the pay slip from PPA because the period isn’t a year duration it’s just 9months (keep in mind my PPA paid me). The other option I was thinking about is to use the 33k we were being paid as my salary for a year (reason being that there were also people who their PPA didn’t pay). So my plan is to now show the first and last pay slip using the 33k as salary (this will give me one year) My one year will from the month I went to camp till the month we did pop ( My PPA is willing to help me with that)

Please what would you suggest?

MayorOfEdmonton:
Hi,
That’s a sound advise as most fresh Pharmacy graduates in Nigeria do Pharmacy Assistant roles for their 1 year paid internship, some even continue to do most of the main duties of pharmacy assistant NOC afterwards(NYSC and post NYSC). So if that’s applicable to you and your work reference letter indicates same you should be fine. Just make sure the pharmacy assistant job is within past 3 years & the job lasted at least 6 months.
Also ensure your reference letter states pharmacy assistant and the roles are similar to the NOC code.
Cheers

P.S
I know someone that did same without issues.
Thank you so much, I’m grateful.

For context, my sister is a pharmacist and claimed experience as a pharmacist assistant. Previous experience which she populated in her personal history, indicates she was a pharmacist in different organizations. She got ITA and subsequently, her visa has been issued with no problem. I can confidently state that there is no problem claiming experience with pharmacist assitant. Make sure your reference letter reflects the responsibilities of an assistant and evaluate your degree with PEBC (pharmacy evaluating board of Canada). All the best.
Thank you so much, I’m grateful.

Work experience does NOT need to match education/degree for FSW (except for practicing Doctors/Pharmacists). FSW work experience is not about what you studied as a degree, but what you do/did in your job e.g. an engineering graduate working as a barber must choose the NOC for barbers not engineers. Also your job description in your reference letter must match the barber NOC. In order to be assigned points under FSW for foreign (non- Canadian) work experience, you must have performed the actions described in the lead statement, a substantial number of the main duties, including all essential duties of your chosen NOC and be paid.
Good Morning Everyone
Please I need your opinion.
I’m a pharmacist by profession and I have picked my NOC and put in my work experience as well. I didn’t get ITA from the last draw. Now someone suggested something for which I have come to seek your wise counsel. Remember that when filing in your work experience in your profile, for every job you have done you will be required to select an NOC code for that job before stating the duration you worked for all of that. The suggestion was that I should edit the NOC of my first job (title and experience) to that of pharmacy assistant while I leave my other jobs (titles and experiences) to be under the pharmacist NOC. Reasons been that for the healthcare draw pharmacists are not usually selected just pharmacy assistants. My question is that is it advisable to do that even though the roles of my first job is quite similar to that of the pharmacy assistant. Also pharmacists on this forum that have gotten ITA from the healthcare draw and those that are in the pool should please drop their opinion as well. The whole thing has just been confusing me so I thought to ask for help.
Thank you and hope to hear from you all.

Good Morning Everyone.

Please I would love to know if a treasury bill can be used as part of proof of funds for both CAS and Visa applications respectively? The treasury bill matures in August. The larger portion of the POF is in a regular bank account but the rest is what was used for the treasury stuff. So I just want to know if I can use the treasury bill as part of my POF while I submit the treasury bill certificate and document to back up my claim that it will actually mature in August.

I would love to hear from you all

Yes, they have 5years passport. My friend who collected her 5years validity passport the date I captured paid about 40-45k thereabout.
But I think it’s also dependent on the immigration officer you decide to use as your agent and also your bargaining power with the agent.

From what I know about the akure passport office, you have to book down early (make payment) so that you can have a close capturing date cos their slots per day gets full really quickly. I booked (payed) on Thursday and I captured the next Monday.

In my case, the correct date of birth is the one contained in my expired international passport while the wrong one is the one contained in the NIN.

Can you please take me through the process of effecting the change of the date of birth on my NIN and the possible cost implications.

Thanks once again for your response
No problem, anytime
Based on change of date of birth I think you might have to write a letter (handwritten) to address the issue (stating the wrong one and the new one you want to use) I don’t know if you would need affidavit also but kindly visit any NIMC office close to you to find out what you will need to effect the change.

It will end in praise

Good evening everyone,
I plan to start the process of renewing my expired passport through DIY. I will like to know if my NIN will be needed for the renewal because my NIN bears a Date of Birth different from what is on my passport.

Thanks to everyone.
First of all, which document contains the real date of your birth? NIN or Passport?

Based on similar experience, the info on your NIN must tally with the info on your passport. I had a similar issue but mine was about name arrangement. I had to swear affidavit and do some other things after I had visited NIMC office.

If the wrong date is the one on the NIN slip then that’s easier to tackle, just visit any NIMC close to you and tell you want to change your date of birth on your NIN to the correct one and they will tell you all the requirements. But if the NIN contains the right date and the passport has the wrong date I don’t know how to go about that you might want to contact the NIS or ask any immigration officer how you will go about it .
