oluphilip2008:
Good evening house. Pls I have a few questions that I need your help to clarify.

(1) for someone who has up to 6years work experience, but has been out of job in the past 4 years, am I still qualified? I mean will the previous work experience prior to the 4 years of no job fly? I can get reference letter for 4 out of those 6years, payslips, salary account statement.

POF is going to be from the sales of a landed ppty in spouse's name. We plan to use the fund to buy T-bills in my name as the PA

it appears your hubby is the P.A. You certainly do not have issues with work experience since your experience is within 10 years and if your hubby is the P.A, then worry less. You have to get references for all 6 years work experience. If you cannot get a reference, state the reason why this is impossible. Also, be prepared to show sales document after the land has been sold to further prove that the money is yours

(2) my niece has been living with me, I'm the one responsible for her, so I plan on including her in my application, can this complicate my application?

this will be a tough one because she is not your child. One way to prove that a dependent is your child is through birth certificate. You may have to commence adoption process if you really want her to come along

(3) My marriage certificate is the one issued by RCCG, that's after submitting the one issued at the registry, is this acceptable or it has to be the one from a registry.

Both are cool. Registry is fantastic

God bless the seniors in the house as you take time to reply.

Dear all please I was just checking our medical papers and saw incomplete for my wife's 501 Medical Examination. Is this right?
Every other person in the family has required instead.

Also,How long ago should the experience you're claiming be.
E.g If I am claiming branch manager between 2007-2009 but have other roles in the same banking afterwards is it ok?
There is nothing wrong with the medical. For your job roles, it would be better to first get work reference from your organization and then fill the form - this is to ensure synchronization

Good evening all,

I got an email from CIC today requesting for my spouses documents (because we got married after AOR).

I just want to clarify if we are both meant to complete the travel history and schedule A forms or if it's for only him.

In order for us to continue the review of your application, we require the following documents for your spouse:
 Required for the Spouse of xxxxxxx:

 Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM
5669) bearing an original signature. Please ensure to complete question 6.

 Passport/Travel Doc (Multiple): Passport/Travel Document (Multiple).

 Passport photos: Passport size photographs (photographs must conform to the specifications
outlined in the Guide to Immigrating IMM 3999 and Appendix B Photo Specifications).

 Medical: Complete or provide proof of completion of the Immigration medical examination.

 Travel History Info Form: Information on your previous travel history (trip duration and
purpose) including citizenship and resident document information. Please fill out the

Hello people.. I guess i have a bit of bad news... I just received a mail saying my application was cancelled due to the fact that i did not submit a valid passport and current biodata... All this i am sure i submitted with all my visa page and stamp... I dont get.. Is it because i uploaded all my old and new passport ?
Please how do i reapply.. They say i can still reapply but i have to create a new express entry profile.. Please gurus help me out o... Am so confused and sad. @40manlappy @dupsyshoo @boss13 @vcole
It's possible you mixed up the document upload. It's also possible the passport document didn't get to the CIO server. Submitting old and new passport has nothing to do with this. The agent just didn't see your passport except you separated old and new passport and then mixed them up.

Not to worry. Get back into the pool as quick as possible and try to submit before June runs out. If your Medicals are okay, the application will be accelerated because you already have UCI. My concern is that draws have not be conducted probably due to the changes. Let's see how next week turns out.

Cheers!

No - the woman is messing his reputation up. He needs to deal with her and put her in her place. Sue her for defamation and libel. Divorce and take the son away from her. Sue her again for kidnapping the son. Inform the judge of her illegal drug use so she cannot get visitation right. Stop any monetary payment to her and cut all ties immediately.

Churchill must do this if he truly loves his son else with a mad mother like this, that son may eventually kill the father based on the poisonous lies the mother must have told him. This is not the time to be gentle again.

I find this hard to believe because tonto will never get close to a broke guy talk more of marrying one. She thinks Nigerians have amnesia when she was declaring the expensive gifts from Mr X. It's not up to 2 years since they got married, so how come Churchill is doing well if he cannot pay bride price and she was responsible for his upkeep? It is even a taboo in Igbo land for a woman to pay bride price. The groom doesn't even pay, it's the grooms family that pays the dowry.

Tonto please you need a doctor

I don't know why but I believe churchills side of the story.Those who have met him in person can attest that he's a very free and easy going gentleman.Tonto on the other hand is nothing to write home about sincerely.shes famous for her troublesome behavior and shenanigans in the past and I know personally that she is very rude and violent.Churchill might have cheated on her with Rosy but I'm sure the accusation of domestic violence is a sham by tonto.I just pity her cos I don't think any sane responsible man would want to have a serious relationship with her due to the way she handled her marital problems.All the best to them both tho.
That's what she has done to herself and her husband has quietly condemned her. She is now trouble personified that family members will fight you if you bring her home. No responsible man will try to consider marriage with her - fun, probably. It may be so bad that any man trying to come close will do so in secret and leave in secret.

She has undone herself in this drama and not the husband. The only winners are bloggers who are making a killing with the news.
Business › Re: Banks To Resume Dollar Loans As Naira Appreciates by Boss13: 10:50pm On Jun 18, 2017
I was expecting this. Banks with foreign denominated loans have no choice than to raise FX finance to pay their debts. I expect more Banks to rush to the Euromarket to raise funds. This might actually be a good time for them in view of the depressed yield in the Euromarket for Corporate Eurobonds. Yields should be between 7 - 8% at least.

This will further drive the naira up due to increase supply of FX

Hello everyone.
I've been following the thread since I started my Express entry application, I got ITA in the last draw and I've been trying to package my application but I've met a few stumbling blocks which I hope gurus here will be able to help with.
1. My son's name was misspelt on the medical form but when we discovered the error and contacted the panel physician, we were told the results have been sent already and can no longer be altered. I'm thinking swearing an affidavit to state that it was an error since the passport number is the same will help or what do you guys advise?
2. We've taken a number of passport photos and they still didn't meet the photo requirements, how have you guys been going about meeting the right specifications for the photos? Any one with a good photographer that can take the required photo can PM his/her contact.

Thanks.
Which hospital is that? It can and should be corrected. You can go to studio 24. Digital photo is not a big issue. Just tell them the specification. Don't use road side passport office because many of them don't have photoshop to resize the image and resolution

icemann:
I get the high risk high interest talk but the fundamental problem is that the bond is guaranteed by the govt(most times) so if they don't pay they will come for our Govt.
So here lies the question, is it UBA or FG using UBA to get loans? Like U said "why is UBA borrowing $500million to pay back in 5 years" . Remembered FG is looking for $1 Billion and they might have found half.
It is an unsecured debt. Only entities with credit ratings can borrow from Euromarkets. These are entities that consider their reputation very highly.

Funny thing is that the bond is rated same as Nigerian Sovereign so that is the price for Naija. Common Ivory Coast got quoted 6.5% for over $1 billion.

Thieves!

Come to think of it, were UBA that desperate? They should fire all their advisors.
A corporate institution bond cannot be rated higher than its country even if the institution shows strong financials and management expertise. Even if Lagos state goes to Euromarket to borrow, the highest rating it will get it a B, the same as Nigerian sovereignty bond

2n2k:
And do what with it? Do you just raise loan or equity capital just because the market will take it up?

It was oversubscribed because of the 8% yield.

With that borrowing coupon rate, that means that the capital cannot be deployed in Europe or US because it is higher than the average lending rate, so that leaves Nigeria as their major market to deploy it to.

In that case, there is high exchange and borrowers default risk should Naira nosedive again
Or maybe other African countries. I even forgot that they can lend this money out at 27-30 percent Nigerian Banks lending rate. Wow the spread is huge. The problem will be raising Fx to pay the interest and of course principal when due. I hope they have hedge the risk though. Converting to naira that's N152billion.
Business › Re: Uba’s Debut $500m Eurobond Oversubscribed By 240% by Boss13: 6:08pm On Jun 13, 2017
icemann:
Yield of 7.875%. what? There is no where in EU or US you can get a yield of 3% from any financial institution . They want us to work and they will collect interest for doing nothing. Modern day slavery
You are right. Eurobond yields are very low at the moment even risk free bonds gives negative yield and yield of 2% corporate bond are oversubscribed so I'm not surprised about this. The yield is high because it is a junk bond with a high rate of default so investors has to be compensated. Also the credit rating was rated B because the bond cannot be higher than Nigerian sovereignty bonds which was issued late last year and the yield of the Nigerian sovereignty bond is also about 7%.

My concern - why is UBA borrowing $500million to pay back in 5 years with coupon (annual interest) at 7%. Does it intend to reduce its financial gearing by buying back equity shares, does it want to expand in other countries or overhaul its banking system. 5 years is a short time and I wonder how they would raise funds to pay back the principal. Anyways we shall see the event of things with time.

Kudos to them - not easy raising finance from Euromarket in view of the issue cost. I see other Banks following suit soon.

Hello Iyaayo,

I am sorry, but there is no way out of this issue! You will be found guilty of misrepresentation and banned for 5 years! There is nothing anyone can do.
You shouldn't have used an agent that is not approved by CIC! I also find it hard to believe that an agent went out of his way to get a fake bank statement without your knowledge or taking some kind of fees to get it done for you.

Even if you resigned after you submitted your app, you should have provided your salary account for the last six months of your work experience before you resigned.

I will say prepare yourself for the worst! There is no story,!nor truth that can help you get away with using fake (bank documents).


All the best!
I think there is more to the story than the poster revealed. If you read the email sent by IRCC, the VO had reasonable doubt on his work experience and possibly requested for a 6 months bank statement to either collaborate his claims. Unfortunately, his agent provided something else which gave the VO reasonable grounds that his earlier documents were also fictitious.

Either he didn't work with Diamond Bank or he worked as a contract staff but rather claimed he worked in Diamond bank.

I left banking last year June to do my fashion business(which is unregistered) however i have 10yrs experience which is within 2 banks (Sales RM - NOC6235)My concern is this: will it be a problem to say one is unemployed from when i left the last job till date? Can I get the letters from my previous employer now as I intend entering the pool by September(POF issues)?

Thank you.
First if NOC6235 is a Class 0, A or B - then you're okay with your 2 years banking experience which falls within the 10 years of your work life.

There is no problem to indicate you are unemployed. In reality you are not, but you refused to register your business. No problem here at all.

Your employers should be able to give you reference. You worked with them.

Hello house,
I salute everyone here contributing towards a better and successful application process for all the readers. Please I have a question about NOC, I have 3 years of experience as a bank Teller. I was seconded to Ecobank till recently when I resigned. I am really confused as to whether my NOC will fall under Banking officer(Class B) or Bank clerk(class C). I proceeded last week to collect a reference letter from my employer which is not the bank but the HR company. They wrote on it that I was a staff of their company and was seconded to Ecobank as a Universal Teller till March this year when I resigned. Please what class of NOC can I apply to as a Universal Teller? I thank you all in advance to your helpful contributions.
This seems tough. It appears with had an employment contract with your company, who then seconded you to Ecobank. Apparently, you were on a contract basis with Ecobank. I think, Bank Tellers fall under class C and probably ineligible- I'm not so sure here.

There is also the challenge for you to get a work reference. Well you might get this from your branch supervisor. If you have a fantastic relationship with him/her. Also, If you can revise your experience to a Class B and get supporting documents for it - fine.

Don't feel downcasted, rather be angry. Be angry that some people are passing the IELTS - why should you be the odd one. Channel your anger in daily practice. The key to passing IELTS is practice, in fact practice even on the day of your test. Practice all Modules not just listening alone. If you feel downcasted, you won't see the desire to write the test. Practice! Practice!! Practice!!! Ask those who have passed, they will hardly remember how hard it was for them to practice, rather they would remember how elated they were when they passed and got ITA.

Dis gave me a soothing relief to a little extent. I've been feeling very bad since d last 16 hours cos I couldn't sleep dat I checked my result around 3am today being d release day. It's my 2nd IELTS. I had LSRW-7.5,7,7,7 in d 1st one and hoped to get 8777 in d May 25th IELTS. I did as advised here, treated almost 60 listening exams downloaded on youtube and started getting between 35-38 after treating about 40. I felt I was good to go but really disappointed to score LSRW-7.5,7.5,6.5,7. The exam was tougher than d first one I did I'm sure so luck/God's favor is key. Really scared to rewrite dis IELTS of an exam again sef. Does anyone know what's delaying Manitoba PNP? They said they were clearing backlogs and would start afresh on May 15 with d introduction of CAN$500. They even said they would do d next draw after May 15 cos they've not done any this year. Till date, nothing has been heard. Partially thinking PNP mhen!

What's d name of dat other accepatable english exam option u see when filling d EE form sef? Does d exam take place in Naija at all? If yes, has anyone taken it before? What's it like? It's like IELTS is now gradually turning into WES o, any IQAS out there?
CAD500 is approximately N185,000 and that's about 3 IELTS tests. Plus there is the restriction of you landing and staying in the province for some time if you scale through. Be optimistic, practice again and rewrite the test. With IELTS persevance is the key.

When you were self-employed

The IRCC recognizes that many people today work for their own companies or do freelance work. This won’t hold you back from immigrating through Express Entry.

Provide a letter explaining that you were self employed and providing a detailed description of the services you provide(d). If your services changed over time, include this information.You should include reference letters from clients to verify this information. These reference letters should follow the same format as the standard letters above.

You should include any additional documentation, such as:

- Client contracts
- Proof of payment from clients or vendors
- Business registration paperwork
- Tax filings
- Screenshots of your website or promotional materials

What work needs to be documented?

It’s very important to document the previous three years of work experience. Any other work experience related to the NOC code you’re applying under should also be documented to the best of your ability. Insufficient proof of your work history can get your Express Entry application rejected. The meaning of ‘sufficient’ proof is subjective. It’s up to the person assessing your application to decide how much is enough to decide you should get PR.

For work that’s not relevant to your current NOC code, you can relax a little bit with documentation. My advice is to make sure you have paperwork to verify that the information you provided in your work history is true. If work history is irrelevant to your current job and long ago, you can worry less about making sure everything is documented thoroughly.

If you’re the accompanying spouse, you should still provide documentation for any relevant work history. However, a poorly documented work history of a spouse is less likely to lead to your application being delayed or rejected.

Do you need to spend weeks tracking down a supervisor from that closed down company you worked for 7 years ago in a completely unrelated job? Probably not. However, it’s safer to go the extra mile and provide solid documentation, rather than have your application rejected. It pays off to have kept those old pay stubs and contracts.

While it was a hassle to get letters from former employers and clients, it was a positive experience overall. It was nice to get in touch with former coworkers and supervisors. It led to some really nice catch-up phone calls and a couple lunches.

When you can’t get a verification letter

What happens if you can’t get a work verification letter? Or if your company will not include all of the required information in the letter? You simply need to provide additional documents to ensure the people assessing your application will be able to feel you have demonstrated your work history.

Some companies have policies forbidding them from providing salary information or other details in a letter, meaning they can’t provide you the letter the IRCC is asking for. You can use additional documentation to fill in the gaps.
The IRCC has made it very clear that it is the applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate their work history to the satisfaction of the person assessing your application. The less clear your work history is, the more likely your application is to be delayed while you provide additional documentation or denied outright.

Provide additional documentation

I had one former employer provide me with a letter that lacked the required information. I provided their letter with additional documents to fill in the gaps and provide the information the IRCC is looking for.

- The original job posting
- Your original offer letter
- Employment contracts
- Printouts from the company intranet showing your role
- Emails confirming your role
- Tax forms (W-2, 1099, T4)
- Paystubs
- Bank statements (showing your salary being deposited)
- Former proof of employment letters
- Old reference letters
- Company newsletters that mention you
- Pictures of you at work
- Letters from coworkers or clients

If a company has gone out of business, you can contact your former supervisor or another former company executive to write a letter stating that the company is no longer active and verifying your employment. In this case, it’s advisable to provide additional documentation.
If you are unable to provide any letter at all, write a letter of your own explaining why. Provide any evidence you can to demonstrate your work history and corroborate your explanation.

- Newspaper articles showing that the company has shut down
- Obituary for your former supervisor
- Screenshots from the company website showing that they are no longer in business
- Bankruptcy filings
- Publicly available legal documents showing the company is no longer active

How do you prove your work experience?

Proving your work experience is rarely as simple as it would seem. Even people who’ve worked for one company for the past ten years have probably held different job titles or even worked for different divisions. Who should write the letter? What should it contain?
Many of us have gaps in our employment history, worked for our own companies, or were freelance workers. What if a company went out of business? How do you account for this? There are a lot of questions that come up when talking about how to verify your employment experience.
Thankfully, while the IRCC website doesn’t give the clear instructions for non-traditional employees that we might like, these things won’t disqualify you from moving to Canada as a skilled worker using Express Entry.

Your letter of reference
Your work verification letter should be written by either a member of your company human resources department or your supervisor.
The letter should be written on company letterhead and a business card for the person writing the letter should be attached. The author of the letter should sign it and include their full name and title. The full address, telephone number, email address, and website should all be on the letter, although this is typically included in the letterhead. If your company has an official seal, be sure to get the letter stamped. Don’t forget to include their business card.

If you’ve had multiple positions within the same company, you can either have separate letters for each position or include the relevant information (title, responsibilities, and dates) for each position you’ve held included in the same letter.
Your employer is probably used to being asked for character references. While the IRCC will be happy to know you’re a good employee and an upstanding citizen, they’re more interested in your job duties.

The letter should contain:
- Your legal name as it appears on your Express Entry profile and identity documents
- The full name, job title, and contact information for the person writing the letter
- Your official job title
- Your hire date and either that you are still employed there or the date you stopped working there
- The average number of hours worked per week
- Your salary, hourly rate, or other payment information
- Benefits included in your salary or in addition to your salary
- A detailed description of your responsibilities

You may find it helpful to provide a draft of the letter to your company to ensure that the letter contains all of the information needed.
Just like you may tailor your resume for a specific job posting, you can tailor your job description to ensure that it matches your NOC code. The person assessing your application may not be familiar with the jargon of your field, so make sure it’s easy for them to see that there’s a match between your role and the NOC code you’re applying under.

Don’t just copy/paste the NOC code description into the letter.
