Double check on the figure your put as funds you will be traveling with. Make sure it is above the required amount for your family size... Pls confirm that and let's see if it works.

Hamiltondreamer:
Good evening all pls I need some help with my application. I filled my application and got a mail saying ineligible. The only thing I can see that may have made my application ineligible is my ielts LRWS 6.5,6,6,7.i know my score is low but am planning for Nova scotia and I would need my EE no.I assumed 6 is the least score required or am I wrong
About my results I also plan to rewrite
@40manlappy @boldinc

It's your supervisor's discretion to issue and sign the letter. You can also add the generic letter from HR alongside employment letter and other docs u might have.

But there is absolutely nothing to worry about. It's not illegal nor fraudulent as long as the info contained and true.

slyman187:



Thank you very much Sir. I already have the letter headed paper and i was going to draft the supervisor letter on that. I was also going to add the business card of my supervisor too. Only thing is i got a scare from a colleague who said CIC would be aware that my company does not give such letters and that if i try to satisfy them by giving the letter as requested, it might come across to them as fraudulent and doctored.

But i'll go ahead with it as it has worked for you. Many thanks and very much appreciated.

There in absolutely NOTHING wrong with using the letterhead for this purpose...

Firstly, CIC says either HR or Supervisor can sign the letter...

Secondly, it's an official document stating official duties... Except false information is being put on it for CIC. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with it.

With reference to the GTB issue, it was false information not a case of using the company letterhead.

Patterns18:


I will advice you dont take this route, It may be viewed as fradulent. Your supervisor should write using plain sheet..You may attach the generic letter from HR.

Yes, you can get your supervisor to sign the letter you draft, but you need to print in on the letter headed paper... That should not be difficult for you or supervisor to get a hold of. That's what my wife did.

Try avoiding the notary if you can.

slyman187:
Hello house. I appreciate the constant help provided in here but i'm here with some fresh dilemma.

This is regarding the work experience letter. My company HR declined my request for the letter saying they do not issue such.

Please what can i do?

I have my employment letter and duty change memos which carry my Job Title which i claimed NOC points for.

I also have my payslips which indicate the department i worked.

My company HR issued a generic introduction letter which only mentions that i'm a staff, date i joined and my annual salary on letter head.

My thoughts are to get my supervisor at work to sign a letter written in CIC requested format NOT ON COMPANY LETTERHEAD PAPER. If i get it attested and notarized can it fly?

Please i need your opinions elders in the house. Many thanks.

I can guarantee you that even the agents can't hold tickets beyond 24-48hrs without paying. It's very bad business for the airlines. What the agents don't tell you is that they just keep cancelling and re-booking for you, especially when you are certain you will be traveling... And in many cases, they make more money of you if the rates are different at the time they actually pay for the ticket.

esosa4real:


Okay I see now!!

I guess it's depending on the relationship like u said.

Cos my aunt held tickets for me in the past for 2weeks and even more for trips I had no tentative dates! Sometimes I even cancel at the end at no charge....lol

Agents can't hold it any longer either... Only if the ticket is issued or you pay a deposit, depending on your relationship with the agent.

esosa4real:


Nah dats short!

I mean longer periods, I guess only agents can do that from deir softwares

You can do it as well, if you book directly from the airline's website... The maximum you can hold it for is 24 - 48 hours.

esosa4real:


Lolz, na molue u wan use go canada be that oh!!

BTW guys, how do yall book a flight for some time without paying? Is it only agents who can do this??

That would not cause any problems. I did same. EE profile had all the work experience, but I took them out after ITA... Moved them to personal history. I would have still been tryna get some work reference by now.

cc: MRSDA

40manlappy:


A few guys on this thread have had a similar challenge and treated the matter as initially advised. I would have mentioned at least one so he/she can validate this but I can't recall their monikers now.

If obtaining the employment reference will make you sleep easy, please go ahead.

I think it's a good idea to submit all you have mentioned, if you really cannot get another copy from the church nor the registry... Maybe excluding the invitation and program tho (pictures should be ok to add).

The police report is a good idea, because it would state the things missing along with the vehicle, including the wedding certificate... This is I assuming you mentioned the important documents in the car at the time of theft and statement writing at the police station. Otherwise, I see no reason why you should add it.

Explain further so we can try advice better... Thanks

Cannybabe:
Hello everyone, I just got ITA and trying to put my documents together. However, I have an issue, about a year ago my car was snatched by armed robbers and I lost some of my documents which include my marriage certificate. The marriage took place at RCCG in Ibadan and we were given the FORM E marriage certificate. I have tried getting it replaced, but its been to no avail. For proof of marriage certificate, I intend to make use of the following
1. AFFIDAVIT OF MARRIAGE
2. POLICE REPORT OF STOLEN VEHICLE
3. AFFIDAVIT OF STOLEN VEHICLE
4. LOE FOR ALL THIS
5. WEDDING INVITATION, WEDDING PROGRAMME (with our pictures), RECEPTION PROGRAMME (with our pictures)

I need your opinion on this, just want to know if this would suffice as proof of marriage. We also have two kids.
Thank you.

From a few people's experience here, you do not need to add your husband's banks statement... An LOE should suffice.

Olamidexy:
Thank you very much boldinc. So my husband can send the money to my account and I only print my statement and write LOE about the transfer from him to me without having to attach my husband's statement because I don't want them to see the source being a lump sum from another party.

I do not have much experience in this area, but from the look of things, as it was stated clearly as 2 different degrees, OND (2 years) and BSc (4years),... It seems safe to claim 2 degrees or more.

Good morning... While I am not a supporter of using agents, I am very certain you had an agreement with this said agent and agreed to their price and payment terms. Just because you stumbled on this thread and realized 'now' it's something you can do yourself, does not mean they are automatically scammers. They offered you a service and you agreed to take them on. They even ensured you got ITA! Some just take your money and do not work... I see work being done here.

If you had a contract with them, I will advice you finish up your side of the agreement, especially when they are keeping up to theirs (ITA for you)... But really it's your call at the end of the day. Just tryna give advice based on my own opinion.

All the best!

Elders in the house
Good morning All.
i need your advice
Am new here. me and my wife engaged the help of an agent to enter into the EE pool before seeing this wonderful platform.
I will not advice anyone to use an agent...they are SCAMMERS!!!
Now we finally got our ITA but the agent is asking for another fee for continuation.
I want to end the contract and continue on my own. Any advice on how to go about it?
Thank you All and God Bless

Why not draft and get your immediate supervisor to sign the letter on your bank letterhead. It doesn't have to come from HR. That's what my wife did (not a bank tho)...

superdoll:



Well, I have done mails to them but all seem to land on this same guy's desk. He isn't forthcoming with solution. Claims that it's what he is seeing on my profile as well as my signature.
Can I pm u pls?

Sure... that shouldn't be a problem.

DereI:


Oh really? Does it mean that the husband can fund upto 90% of the required POF and deposit as a lump sum into the PA (spouse) account?

I think it's best your husband sends the balance to your account, cos when you add him to your application, CIC will request for an updated POF for 2... You can add an LOE stating he transferred the money to you to complete the POF.

Olamidexy:
Hello house, kindly help me with this question. I already have AOR and I am about to get married so I need to update my application. I provided enough POF for one, my husband has the balance required for two people but the money is barely one month old and the inflow was a bulk inflow into his account. Can he just invest it in tbills now and I just attach the tbills letter alone as the balance in my CSE to avoid printing his statement or do I have to attach all the POF documents I initially attached with my application along with his tbills letter.

Please I also need to know if there will be any issue with the balance funds amount not being up to 6 months. Hopefully we can avoid the issues of preparing a gift deed to explain the inflow because I also did a gift deed for an inflow into my account when I submitted. Thanks

No... She is not still in line. The draw for her ITA was 441. That would be the reference.

XX01:


The last draw was 433 so she is still in line.

If you believe this, you shouldn't advice anyone to get PCC for countries visited for a cumulative of 4 months... CIC simply requires 6 months and above..

freeradical:
@ Bolded: You are so right Wura27. We must endeavour to keep our application simple. No need to write LOE for what isn't asked for. LOEs are only to explain weak aspects of your application. Example of where one needs a LOE may include; name issues, source of lodgements to your POF, discrepancies amongst your documents (like case of different occupation in marriage cert and other docs) etc

You have to scan all pages with stamps on your passport... They would easily determine all the places you have been to and how long. Can't be hidden.

nkigirl:
Even if there are stamps on his passport, are you required to scan every single page of your passport. All 32/64 pages?

Please this is really important. We are not trying to be fraudulent. But if we can omit this info, it's better.

Most likely means you are in NA2 stage... If you have medicals passed already.

HTC2017:
Good morning,

What does it mean when your Background check status changes to "Not Applicable"?

cc @freeradical @40manlappy, @ugoiyke, @esosa4real @boldinc @onlineise @dupyshoo

I doubt that can be done... But if that's the case, you can go ahead and apply for his student visa.

With regards to your POF, after payment of his fees, would you still have the required amount required for your family size? Not sure a projected income would work.

dtush:


He is 17 years old and will be 18 next year May. And he is not included in my application but is dis somethg that can be done?

Hey Vcole... Been a while... How's baby (I can ask now right?)? Lol...

Which notable events you dey talk about? U mean for hia? Just loads of PPRs, AORs and ITAs...

vcole:
Hello everyone. Can't believe the thread is over 700 pages long. @40manlappy, @ugoiyke, @esosa4real @boldinc @onlineise @dupyshoo and others my brain fit Don forget to mention, how market? I fit beg for small summary of notable "events" from una?

Is your younger brother included in your PR application? If yes, you might need to get some sort of adoption papers (not sure if that can be done for siblings, if it can be done... you will have no issues). I am suggesting this because siblings cannot be included in your PR application. Also, he might be above 18 years from what I gather... you need to confirm if adding him is a possibility.

If for any reason you can successfully include him in your application, I do not think you need to apply for a student visa. PR will be good enough and even better...

dtush:
Good morning house,

I submitted my application last week and ITA was given yesterday.

But am in a dilemma.

1. My younger brother whom I am the sole guardian (parents are late) has applied for admission in some Canadian universities and we should be submitting his application soon for January resumption.

2. Can I still go ahead to process my ITA without any issues provided that my POF will be intact after paying his school fees. Of which 50% of the fees will be paid even before we apply for his visa.

3. I hope it won't be seen as double counting of funds and do I include a detailed explanation of this in my application as well as the student visa application. Along with my projected income in the coming year. I just got a new job. So the monthly salary is small but u get lump sums after every 6 month. I.e 6 months, 1 year e.t.c.

4. We Av a projected salary calculator. So can I get HR to sign on it and include in the study application

5. Also, I run an informal biz. No registered company profile. I use my salary account and other account for the business. I supply all sorts. I have some invoices giving me the contract but mostly it's informal. Where I make an average of say #200K monthly but no real structure

Please just advice. So I will really like him to resume by Jan and I don't want to hurt my own chances either

You do not need PCC... as you said, CIC says 6 months.

Hephgirl:
Us cumulative trip is 4 months... Cic website says 6 months....
Does this person need fbi pcc? Has anyone had issues with 4 months cumulative trips?

Yes you can...

zealog:
I have lost my birth certificate. Can I use sworn affidavit as replacement. I need someone to make clarification for me please.

You will need it only if the total duration spent in the UK adds up to 6 months... If not, do not bother getting one.

MRSDA:


Very helpful, thank you. So are you saying if i have travelled to the UK for 2 weeks at different times, over a period of 10 years, then I need a police certificate from the UK?

It would be update in your account... It would clearly stae 'You passed the medical exam'

MRSDA:
Hello house.

How are you able to tell that you passed your medicals?

Yes you do have a chance. Try read from page 0... You should get a lot of info on what steps to take.

Make sure you evaluate only your MSc... It gives you the highest points needed in that section and being in Turkey, I assume it should be processed faster.

Use this link to check your possible score... http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

All the best!

Temas:
hello house... good job in all doing here.. I didn't believe until I have a close pal who just got his ppr...

please help a brother here.

MSC computer engineering... Turkey

bsc physic edu... unilag

ccna. Cisco
mcitp... Microsoft.

age... 33

7 year working experience.. 2year abroad+ 5 in Nigeria.


do in have a chance..

You cannot get into the pool nor earn 433 points without work experience...

Ehiobe:
Wow..433..I should do quick and apply o before Canada change mind. Please I have a question what if someone gets the cutoff mark but doesn't have work experience would the person be eligible?

CIC requires your ECA report AND Certificates you claim points for... Your application would be regarded as incomplete and rejected.

Virt:
I think your ECA report is all CIC requires, that's why they requested that we assess our credentials with those approved agencies. I doubt they'll need to see your certificates again to process your application.

Congrats 40...

40manlappy:
Received stamped passports and COPR today

He/she doesn't need to... That's the reason for the form to inform IRCC of changes in Family... All he/she needs to do is notify IRCC of the new addition. He/she will be asked to pay the extra Fee ($150) for the child and also upload/send passport details.

MummyJaygirls:


You will have to turn down this PPR and request an extension so u can include bomboy.

Safe delivery in advance o
