Yup she did... vcole is busy popping champagne like StS said!

Fusion23:
Wooow its been long i checked this thread , congrats to all those who got ITA , please did Vcole get passport request?

The highest you will get is 441 if single and up to 443 if married.

With the current trend, you will mostly like get ITA in the next 1 or 2 draws...

Ambidextrause:
Congratulations to the successful applicants. This bodes well for the prospective applicants.

One thing I have noticed, upon reading the posts of successful applicants, is that without an MSc, it's almost impossible to get up to 450 in the CRS, even when you are under 30years, with very good IELTS score, 3 years working experience, but with just a BSc.

Please, let the experts here advise.

Cc: @vcole, @boldinc, @esosa4real, @slowlybtsurely

There's no option to choose a day... just months and by CIC's calculation, it's 3 years still.

I'm sure there would be no problems as long as the reference letter gives the same information.

I would also advice getting the reference letter to state only months and not exact date... cc: Onlineise

SlowlybtSurely:
They rejected a CEC candidate because of this. They will consider what your points should be when you got ITA.

Not sure if it's same for outland.

Do not reject the ITA... You have 3 months to submit and before that ends, you would have completed 3 full years.

So... begin to prepare all your documents and wait till the end of the 3/4weeks you need and then submit.

All the best and congrats on your ITA.

Onlineise:
Goodmorning People,

Congratulations to everyone that got their ITA yesterday (including myself) and to the seniors with PPR status and the ancestors that have landed I hail thee all.

Quick One: My work experience for NOC 1114 is actually 2years and 11months...but while filling my profile it didn't request for actual date of the job...just month and year hence March 2014 - Feb 2017 makes it 3years on the dot but in actual date count i am short by 3weeks and some days.

The system counted it as 3years and gave me maximum points, should I go ahead and accept this ITA and run with it or reject and just wait till March or April?

Gurus please advise.

Congrats!

Just resident address

specrealq:
Hello house

Please when they say addresses lived after 18 does that include where i stayed for holiday trip abroad or just resident address.

Thank you.

I assume she could be younger than your are and age is a factor in earning points. Also, she might have a Masters' degree and you do not (as it was in my case).

I will advice you use the link and try both ways and go with the person with the highest score.

shamecurls:
Thanks alot!

Can you explain "You might be better off with her being the principal applicant."

Sorry for my disturbance!

Applying with your wife is your best option... Adds more points when she writes IELTS and also gets her credentials assessed.

You might be better off with her being the principal applicant.

shamecurls:
Good People of this Forum,

Is it advisable to apply with ones wife or alone? Which seems to be the surest path.

Thanks

447! Wow... This getting interesting. Happy for those you got ITA!

Congrats to everyone!

You got mail vcole...

Lmao... What's holding you back tho? Mine is POF...

SlowlybtSurely:
Mehn, we gats submit. Make we stop to dey rub the eAPR pancake. E don fine reach.

SlowelybtSurely... See vcole o. Let's do and submit and get PPR quickly o.

So happy for you vcole.

Wow!!! Excellent. When did you submit your application again? Not up to 2 months i believe.

This is great news! Congrats dear.

vcole:
My people!!!!! PPR!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I see you chose standard delivery... I did express.

Ambidextrause:
This is what I saw online.

You should send in the whole 6 month statement... If it's a gift of deed, the deed itself will suffice. No need to send in the giver's statement of account.

Thetherapist:
Thanks. Would there be a need to attach a six month statement of account or just the month reflecting the deposit of such cash? Is there also a need to include the statement of account of the person giving the gift to show debit from his account to the receivers account?

Just the POF I'm tryna put together...

Plan is to submit sometime before the end of this month by God's grace.. U?

SlowlybtSurely:
How far with your app?

There's 100 USD limit on GtBank cards. Don't think you can use any Nigerian naira card to make payment.

Your best option would be a dollar card or if you can get someone abroad or with an international card to help make the payment.

Adrianbuwan:
Good Morning House,
I have been trying to make payment for WES assessment using my GT MasterCard ATM,it had been giving me AUTH Declined message.Can anyone help me on how to proceed?
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, It was a little over 250 USD. Used my Bank of America visa card to pay.

But i guess you can find out on their website.

Ambidextrause:
That's about 228 USD! Wow!

Don't want to try convert to Naira. Lol

I can't remember... A little over 300 tho.

Ambidextrause:
Hello Boldinc,

How much CAD did you pay in total?

You can calculate your score here...

diggy4real:
Hello great nairalanders,
Please my details are:

Mechanical Engineering degree: B.eng

Age: 29
Marital status: single
IELTS L R W S : 7, 6.5, 6.5, 6.5.
Years of experience : 4years in a skilled job
Please how many points does this attract? Which route would one advice me on?

By self declaration u mean LOE? Have you submit your application already?

SlowlybtSurely:
Hubby sent the bulk sum to me and did a self declaration. I didn't attach his statement.

Yes I did... Noticed while I was doing regular checks to track the progress.

Bimpsy99:
Thanks for the clarification. I guess that explains why it was that fast. Did you get any notification from WES that they have sent a verification mail to your school for your credentials?

Asking because I want to know if this is always the case with WES for Nigerian schools.

It was babcock and Lagos Business School... both private.

Bimpsy99:
Good to know. Please did they send your transcript back to your school for verification and is your school a public school in Nigeria? Just curious

I haven't submitted yet StS... I had asked vcole and dupyshoo,etc earlier about me sending the bulk sum to my wife who is the PA and then writing an LOE. Not sure if I would need to send my account statement as well.

SlowlybtSurely:
vcole, boldic and others that have submitted. . . Did your bank stamp every page of your account statement?

GTB stamped only the first and last pages, is that ok?

I used WES and got everything done not more than a month...

Nwaonyeocha:
Good evening house.
Please, which of these is the the fastest for ECA from experience?

* International credit evaluation service
* International Qualifications Assessment Service
* World Education Services
* International Credential Assessment Service of Canada
* Comparative Education Service – University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies

You should not have any issues, as long as you have all old documents and proof of change of name... You should be fine.

All the best!

mamatwiny:
@all,
We have plans to relocate to canny next year.
My maiden Intl passport has expired and I intend to change my name in the new one to maiden surname -hubby surname. I also want my kids surname to bear- hubbyname- hubby surname. Will that have any negative implications when we are ready to immigrate?

Eg. Hubby name - chike okoli
My intending surname- amadi- Okoli
Kids surname - favor chike- okoli

(All names are not real)

Having a pass on your grade would not affect your score as they only need to know you graduated... However, getting a job over there might be affected, but as you said you are always lucky with regards to that and with your working experience, it might be a breeze.

All the best!

walejummy:
pls house, I need your view and candid advice on my case, have read over 50% of this trend, I wish to apply but my concern is my university school result, I had pass as my grade, and am currently working with a microfinance, will this my university grade affect my application or obstruct me during credentials evaluation? Will the grade also reduce my points, i have all finance to process and i also have work experance, am always luck in term of job, pls i need advices. Thanks m expecting ur candid advice

Hey vcole, dupyshoo StS... What do you guys think please... If i send the bulk sum for POF to my wife's account and include an LOE with respect to that, would I need to send in my account statement as well? It could be done from my personal account or the company account which she is also on the board (maybe a board resolution to that effect)?

Please advice guys. Thanks

Oh wow! I assumed you were the pool awaiting ITA soon... Sorry to hear that.

40manlappy:
Congrats to the latest recipients of ITA. Gradually, the "ghost members" (courtesy dupyshoo) are gradually showing up

To borrow an expression, "when ITAs are ready, the ghost members will appear"

On a serious note, let me get this off my chest: our Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program application was not successful!

It depressed me for a few days. It also made me regret not attending the New Brunswick Information Session in Dubai to which we were invited last year.

Judging from the feedback on this thread, some of the attendees got ITA through that means. I had depended on the Manitoba PNP so much that I was not looking at other possibilities. For my mind, we were saving money for POF

Maybe we would have gotten New Brunswick's nomination now or even an ITA

Even when the Quebec application showed up last year, I didn't pursue it with much energy allowing our inability to speak French to be an excuse.

Lesson learnt: Going forward, I shall take advantage of all genuine opportunities that come our way...Atlantic Immigration Pilot, Quebec, etc

You will need your husband to send the required funds into your personal account and then explain the reason for the lump sum with an LOE.

yinyinola:
Hello boldinc, oohunt, vcole, dupsyshoo.

It seems I am inthe same position as oohunt. Just to clarify, will I need to submit my husband's account statement with the LOE? Just to show his source of funds and to avoid any doubts as to how the funds got to his account? Thanks

Sample reference letter:

To whom it may concern

This is to certify that Mr. XYZ ABC was/is an permanent full time employee of the COMPANY_NAME as DESIGNATION from DD/MM/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY. He played a significant roles as “NOC DESCRIPTION” encompasing “describe 2-liner that match the lead statement of your NOC”. The following table shows the chronological roles and responsibilities of Mr. SIRYASIR at COMPANY NAME: Company:Company Name Position: YOUR DESIGNATION PERIOD: From …TO DURATION Role playing as “NOC DESCRIPTION”
• POINT 1
• POINT 2
• POINT 3
Annual Salary and Benefit: RS XXXXXX per month ( or per year, also mention if additional benefits such as PF, medical reimbursement, Insurance etc) Number of Hours Works: Full time job, 8 and half hours per day, and 5-day a week; Yours Sincerely, NAME OF SUPERVISOR DESIGNATION: E-MAIL ADDRESS CONTACT NUMBER

A good job related reference letter gives many details. It lists the projects you worked on, and the achievements you accomplished. Very importantly, it should also describe your day-to-day duties and tasks. These daily tasks may seem mundane, but they often demonstrate that you perform the duties of a certain position, and that you possess the required basic skills. It is important that the letter demonstrates that you know the basic skills of your position, and that you have already been trained in them. At a minimum, the letter should state your position, the length of your employment, salary, and a summary of your duties.

temitope06:
Pls kindly share the sample you found online. Thanks

I already responded to that in my previous post...

Thetherapist:
Thanks. Would ask of her timeline and post here.
Do you have any idea as to my previous question on MPNP
