As far as I know, you and your spouse need to complete the IMM5406 separately, it is to be completed by all people in the application who are over 18.

The IMM0008 is for baby.

Hello GraciousWords thank you for your help so far.we have completed the IMM5406 form for myself and my spouse but the placeholder IRCC created on the profile is only for one form.Is it ok to send the 2nd form through CSE webform.we are unable to merge both forms we have tried all available options.

You need it because your family details have changed since you applied (new baby).

The IMM0008 is for baby.

Noted.Thank you.

I added a baby but honestly I can't even remember the exact forms . But I submitted forms , updated pof, baby passport and passport photo , upfront medical for her . I didn't waste time waiting for them to send me medical for her. It was updated and she was added in 2020. My VO was Accra .

Noted. THANKS.

Red: if you got an email stating the process, why not follow the instructions in that correspondence?LOL, Thank you for the input, I want to follow the instructions but the forms are confusing. There are 4 forms.I have completed the IMM008 form, I have eliminated the other 2...but there's another one IMM5406E...do I complete that one for each of us or just for the baby?

Hello everyone, Congratulations to all that got PPR ...Y'all will receive your passports and land safe.I need help.
My ITA 23rd Dec 2020 AOR feb 27 2021.
I had a baby in July 2021 but I only got baby's passport 8th Mar. 2022 on same day, I got IRCC email for remedical for myself and hubby ,my first child's medical was not requested.
What we are doing now is to add the baby by Monday then we go for medical next week

I have sent 3 webforms to IRCC. 2 web forms to inform them we had a baby but we have not received passport and one to update my passport because the current on expired....I received no response to the passport update.
I called IRCC one time to also inform them about the baby and the agent sent me an email stating the process.
1. My question is which forms do we need to complete amongst these forms. Anyone who added a baby,which specific forms did you fill?
2. Do I wait for them to ADR or I should already include proof of payment, updated POF etc in the documents I am attaching?
3. Is it OK to have the upfront medical for the baby alongside mine or we need to wait for the request to come?
Someone please help me...I see different information online,just overwhelmed by different views.People please help me with simple answers and if there is anything else I need to know or do.

On question 1, it might be best to tell them about the baby as soon as possible, they are likely to give you a timeline to submit docs, you can preempt that by telling them upfront about the 3month passport thingee, I suspect this is a US passport, can't it be expedited?[/quote]Thanks for the response. It is not impossible to fast track the passport but the amount they are requesting is ridiculous.Its actually Nigerian passport.I am applying from SA. my own passport expires in Sept. I paid for renewal in March, they gave me end of May as capture date.still waiting for collection date till now.from the look of things my batch maybe ready next week. I got baby's birth cert yday and went straight to the high commission to apply for passport...capture date is end of next month...you see why i said it might take 3 months.

Hello everyone,
I need help on few grey area. Hoping people who have done this in the past can advise me.
1. I have an additional family member and I am almost certain that i wont get his passport until about 3 months time.How do i go about this?Should I raise the webform to inform IRCC anyway? Is there a timeline IRCC gives for submission of the documents when they reply to my webform request.
2.I understand I need to add POF for additional family member. Is the money supposed to also be in my account for 6months before i can use it for POF?
3. When providing my new POF do i still need to show the gift deed i got in the past even if it is now over 6months.
Current application status: AOR:Feb 2021 last update:Biometric in March no other information or changes as yet

MissMa01:
Why would the govt have an issue with your sister is keeping a foreign account? Is IRS after her?
She can send the money to your dad and he transfers to you, that way you have just one gift deed quoting both transfers.
Also, any of your siblings can give you the money it must not be the one that you are claiming points from.

Hello good people, i just need your input on my POF. My POF is gift deed from my dad- he sent it 4months ago when i was preping to apply for Saskatchewan but fortunately I got ITA for FSW-EE .then part of the POF is from my spouse and the other part i am expecting from my sister.My sister's one is the challenging part for me.She lives in CA but the money she is giving me is in her Nigeria account. Now, I need a gift deed.Is the gift deed a notarized doc or an affidavit? Does she have to do the gift deed in CA or she can do it in Nigeria? I am concerned about tax implications and non disclosure issues for her.I dont know if the government would have an issue with the fact that she is keeping a foreign account. I have another sister who can give me a gift deed of same amount but the only reason I am inclining towards the CA sis is because I am already using her docs to claim sibling points so her credibility is already established. Kindly share your views.

.

thanks, i have BSC, 29, wanted to register for IELTS but when i calculated my CRS score assuming SLRW , 7,8,7,7. I got 429, tried with highest IELTS score I got 441. I had to suspend the IELTS and decided to go for ACCA F1-F3 so I can claim 2or more degrees, certificate,diploma..I assumed IELTS to be SLRW, 7,8,7,7 again and with ACCA I should be around 462 and with Highest IELTS score and ACCA I should be around 474. PLS help me confirm if my assumptions are accurate or help me suggest fastest route to improve my score.
thanks once again.

Your calculations are correct.I would advise you consider scoring the highest in IELTS so you can get the maximum points attainable i.e L8.5 R8 S7.5 W 7.5 . It is very possible to get that score.
Also, consider how long it will take you to write the ACCA F1 to F3 .would you still be 29 by the time you finish it and complete WES? If no, then use age 30 for your permutation. Also, is ACCA your best bet?
Is there a masters program that people are doing now in Nigeria and is recognised by WES and takes a short time to complete? Make those findings before picking an option.
The recommendations above are just my thoughts.I am not an authority in this field.thanks and best wishes.

pls asides using IELTS to boost your score, did you also use ACCA/CIPM or PGD to boost your CRS score?

No, i did not. I am actually not in that field. I just used it as an example.i am into IT.
Age:34, masters , relative in Canada, IELTS: L9R9S7.5W7 spouse : masters, ielts L8w7S7R6.5. That combination gave 469.
If my writing was 7.5 and his reading 7.then our score can go up to 474...try use that crs calculator to move things around so you can determine best and fastest way to improve the score

Hello everyone, Thank you for all the questions and responses.They help alot. I always come here to read from time to time to keep myself up to date. Thanks to @Allegory and @Prettiepearlz for encouraging me to retake IELTS the 4th time.
I was sitting at CRS of 466 all year and I realized that[b] if i dont do something nothing will happen[/b].I decided to take IELTS again.IELTS CBT : Dec12 Result was released on Dec 17: L9,R9, S7.5 W6.5(standard score in my location) requested EOR immediately .EOR results came back on Dec. 21 and wirting changed to 7. Since my reading score improved compared to my previous IELTS i was able to gain 3 points to add to my 466 so CRS was 469.Got ITA for the draws that happen on Wed 23 Dec. My birthday is early in the year.I would lose another 5 points if I continue to wait. I have been on this mater for a looooooooooong time

God be praised.
Now that I have the ITA, I have few questions.I have checked the previous threads before coming here to ask. Kindly pardon me if the answers exists somewhere.Some of the answers are also old and not sure its still correct.
1. I decided to shorten my Job title after ITA. NOC and years of expeirience claimed remain the same. Would this affect my application in any way.Would i need LOE for this? e.g Financial adviser\ investment analyst.I decided to use Financial adviser.
2.My POF is with GTB savings account. I read on the old threads that GTB is not including the balance on the letter.Is this still true? Can i use the letter they are issuing like that and attach my 6 months bank statement.
3. I am currenty pregnant and not sure how this will affect my application. Can someone who has been through this tell me what this would mean? I dont want to do the Xray while pregnant.
Seniors, Kindly assist to provide clarity on the above.

Hello good people, my brother has OND and BSC will WES evaluate both as 2 or more degrees or diplomas? He already applied for evaluation of the BSC but I thought evaluating the OND too may give him an edge. Kindly advise please.

Thanks for the reply.Its not advisable to travel out of SA now.A colleague of mine travelled since March and has not been able to come back since then.I think the French announcement has changed the dynamics of things anyway.i will restrategize and hope for the best

Allegory:
Retaking ielts would have been your best option. Do that as soon as you can. What's stoppig you from traveling to take the exam, government regulations? Sounds like you live in Australia because I don't know many other countries that still have such strict regulations. You still have a few months before February to figure out where and when to take the exam, for now just keep practising all sections so that you'll max out when you finally get the chance. Who knows, the scores might even come down before then.

Prettiepearlz:
Can you still request for a remark on the exam? If yes, kindly request for a remark on the one with 7 points if it is speaking or writing.

Its L9, S8 , R 7.5 and Writing 7.i actually got a 6.5 and requested a remark that took it to 7.it was the norm here in SA to get 6.5 in writing but they have adjusted now...I had to write an email to BC to explain the reason everyone gets 6.5 in the past 2 years.they replied by asking me to apply for a remark.Thanks for your suggestion. I guess 466 is not a good score anymore with the French announcement.just hopping for the best.

Hello house, I have been reading contributions here and they are quite helpful. I am currently in the pool with CRS of 466.Is there a chance that I might get selected in Dec when they do back to back draws? My current IELTS score is 9,8,7,7.5.I am thinking of taking IELTS again to boost my score but there is no exam date available where i live.Its also very risky to travel outside due to COVID regulations. I am just tense right now.I will lose 5 marks again in feb.i have been on this journey for a long time.i dont want to lose out now that it is just so close.or is there anthing else i can do in this short time?
