Wow! Okay thanks for this.

What if I never got payslips? And my staff salary bank statement will be short of 3 months to makeup the one year work experience I'm claiming cuz I was paid in cash before I opened a staff salary account. Also if I want to add my nysc I was paid in cash through out the one year. Any hope for me? Please I need your advice from experience and what you all think please. Thank you.

It doesn't matter so far you have a letter saying ur job description, hours worked and how much your being paid its alright to be submitted with out payslip. Cic statement said add payslip IF available. IF is a conditional statement n d payslip is not Available. What of people that hv changed jobs dey worked in 3 years ago n can't find any payslip?

Only ur letter from employer is d most important.
Your NYSC year just get a letter from the office you served with carrying all the CIC letter features, your good to go.

Or you can go an extra mile to scan along the official Business card of the person that signed the letter ( I know someone who did that)

Bumdesh:


CIC only asked for reference letter from employers past n present. It depends on you if you want to add payslips and supervisor or employer business card.

Only employment reference letter is what is needed, but if you have d Ida's scan dem along with the letter n upload, if you don't scan ur employement letter

Sorry ur reference letter

Nievel:
Hello house, congrats to all those who just got ITA.
Please I have a question concerning documents for work experience claim. Are you required to submit payslips or show bank statement showing your salary deposits? I can't see anything like that on the cic website. I see only letter from company on letterheaded paper signed by a supervisor.


Pls kindly share your experience as this will help me a lot. Thank you.

Please people let's help a brother that's in a fix

Hi All,
I need small clarification. My score is 475 and I received ITA in the last draw. I got these points as an unmarried. I am getting married next week and I am confused on how to proceed.

Option 1:
Should I continue my application as a single applicant and apply for dependent visa once my PR is issued? Is it still valid?

Option2:
Should I include my spouse's details before applying for the PR? In that case, does she needs to take IELTS and get her transcripts verified? This is not at all feasible in 2 months time.

Pls advise.

Fusion23:

Let me address this very important question , it is the reason why most people get Rejected when they apply for PR. You need to understand that express entry is a form where they need to know everything about you, so please try and evaluate both to be safe. When you applying there is a section for Education , they want to know all your post secondary school details. If u put B.sc then M.sc and when applying for PR u only upload Msc. Thats risky .

Thou you can put your B.sc and say it has not been evaluated, so you use the only one you getting points for which is MSC that was evaluated by ECA, anyways the picture below will give you an hint. And its the same price to evaluate both.

I hv mentioned this thing earlier on this trend there is no harm in doing the two evaluation many people's application hv been thrown out and the Visa officer signed incomplete documentation. Even wen you get to Canada the same report will be useful to you wen ur at interview n applications to say ur educationsssss hv been assessed n equivalent to a Canadian

Fusion23:


so where do you upload ur IELTS result and where do u upload wes, am sure you upload wes I mean ECA under degree, what about IELTS

Upload it along with ur degree certificates
Scan all the documents as jpeg and make sure you reduce the resolution to like 150dp coz u know there's a maximum limit.

Open word documents and paste them. Copy and paste one by one when you finish save it as PDF. That's all.

Do this for all documents especially the ones that hv multiple pages. Like passport, employement letter etc. Because u hv to submit 1 file all the documents will fit and u ll have a small size

dupyshoo:
You don't need to provide your husband's bank statement. You just require a letter of explanation from your husband. You can send me a PM and I will send you a sample of the letter written by my husband to indicate that he transferred funds to my account.

You will however need to provide either letters or bank statements for all your bank accounts that you transferred money from. You will also need a comprehensive letter to explain the movement of funds between the account. What I did in my situation is to number all my POF documents, then I created a table of contents that itemised all the info I included in the POF. I did not have to submit bank statements though as I got the letter required by IRCC from my bank. I can send you a sample of my POF if you want that too.

Sister please I need a sample of ur POF God bless

Please who paid for something online in Canadian Dollars. I want to know what rate naija banks are charging or Canadian Dollars


Thanks

Note of CAUTION

What ever is not on your ECA report don't include in your express entry profile.

If you only evacuated Masters in ECA put Masters in EE profile. If you put BSC and u recieve ITA, pay ur fees n submit all documents including ur ECA, there is no place where dat BSC was evacuated to show d Canadian equivalency.

Some people application have been rejected coz of this and based on the grounds of incomplete documentation.

My advice is put only d degrees u hv on ur ECA report wen registering ur EE profile.

obioby:
I have a diploma from ACCA..it is assessed as diploma.if u opt for Oxford Brooke degree in accting that's a bsc.. when u eventually get the ACCA cert it s the equivalent of a masters...but I av only done d diploma part but that's wat I heard. it's at no cost just give 4-6 weeks for Wes to receive and u can not track.

ACCA certificate is evaluated as BSC not masters

Bimpsy99:
Please does anyone have an experience with WES evaluating ACCA.. Do you need to submit your WAEC result? I have read in forums that it is evaluated as 3 years Bachelors. Any practical experience in the house??!! Thanks all

Hi u don't need WAEC for ACCA. WES evaluates it as a 4 year BSC degree in Accounting equivalent to an Canadian BSC degree in Accounting.

Only send a copy of ur ACCA certificate ( along with other post secondary certificates e.g BSC, MSc) and send an email to ACCA to send ur transcript to WES put the address in the email and ur WES reference number ( gotten after paying WES evaluation fee) also contact ur universities to send ur transcript.
Dats all

JesusDWay:


I'm good bro! Yeah, there might be some easing up in the system soon but then, that might favour inland applicants more. We anticipate the new programme being proposed by the Atlantic provinces early next year, that should favour outland applicants by God's grace. I think the challenge for quite some people now is the exchange rate and how its shooting up the amount required for pof. I pray God will help us and make a way in Jesus name

Please how much is N1 to CAD$

Thanks a lot please is evaluating the bachelor degree of law from nigeria please what documents do 1 need to send?

Please what is the process of filing and sending documents ?

Good day house members happy Sallah in advance, please I need an urgent response please what is the best ECA body in evaluating Law degree from Nigeria, and how long does it take?

Thank you

Hello house.
I have a little over 4 years experience in two different NOCs- one is 2yrs 3months and the other is 2 years. While filling me EE profile I filled that I have 3 years or more work experience. Could this constitute a problem?

No it doesn't constitute any problem you can use more than 3 NOC in your profile. Just make sure you have the right NOC, state the years each NOC is for eg NOC 1221 Feb 2010- Dec 2013, NOC 1112 Jan 2014- Dec 2015 etc

Fusion23:


Why do you need the Hard Copy thou I have mine, when u get ITA you just need to quote the reference number in your application. CIC will have electonic access to your wes when making a decision.
You can wait for the hard copy thou, but the soft copy is also useful just in case you want to attach in your application, as for Provincial nominee you need wes to send your report tom them directly which you pay for seperately. Regards.

From what I hv heard from those who got rejection after submitting documents after ITA. You need the hard copy scan it along with ur certificates even thou your reference number is there.

The hard copy has an official stamp on it while soft copy doesn't. Some people where rejected because they dint attach a copy of the ECA report along with credentials, while some because of the stamp.

All cases were on the grounds of incomplete documentation. It's better to send everything than to be sorry later

Thank you so much. I want to believe the qualification and my first degree (BSc) will qualify me for the 119 points listed against 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, ......' in the CRS tool.

Yes it should

upgradedmom:
Hello experts in the house,
Has anyone used WES to verify ACCA qualification. I saw on their website and on IQAS that they only verify university qualification. I am a bit confused as to how to get the degree verified.

Only WES verifies ACCA. You have to have completed ACCA. Make sure you add it to other degrees you want to evaluate in the WES online registeration. Send clear photocopies ( can be coloured photocopies) of ur certificates, ACCA affiliate certificate and membership certificate ( if you are one) to WES. Dnt forget to quote the reference number given to you after online payment on the envelope. Then email ACCA to send ur transcript to WES. In ur email tell them to quote ur WES reference number on the envelope. That's all it's equivalent to 4 years Canadian BSC degree

Please is anyone in dis group using a Canadian agent.asin I. Immigration agent in Canada

Mind you all this money u will pay is minus the $1040 CAD you will pay directly to CIC wen you get an ITA. Also if you want them to help you apply for province nomination or any other services outside creating EE profile that is another round of agreement and new money you have to pay

blaize777:
Please is anyone in dis group using a Canadian agent.asin I. Immigration agent in Canada

Hmm almost every one is doing it themselves. They will never tell you the total amount of money they will collect. I will pay separately for initial consultation, then you pay separately for express entry( u ll think dat is all) wen u get ITA you will pay anoda money and all this are hundreds of thousands not just like hundred or two hundred k.
As u progress ur bill increases.
Also they have the login details to ur profile so u dnt hv access to it. No pay no work even if you pay all the money u can't see what they r doing only what ur been told.


My advice it is a very easy process to create ur profile. If you can apply for jobs online u can do it, if you can register in this forum you can do it. It's easy just read instructions on what you should fill that's all. It is not a complex process at all.

[quote author=socialmisfit post=48738477]Hello guys,
I'm about to create my express entry pool profile. The problem is I have 4 years work experience in two different NOCs but about 2 years work experience in each NOC (Finance & HR). Is it possible to claim 3 or more years work experience while creating my profile? or can I only claim the no of years work experience (1-2 years) for only one of the NOCs?
Please help guys.



Hi since in total combination of all ur work experience it amounts to 4 years you can definitely choose 3 or more OR 4 years.
Also u can use multiple NOCs for ur work experience ( e.g 2011-2013 and 2014-2016)so far u can provide references letter from ur employer to actually show you did those duties.

When will this score come down

beyunce:

Anyone can gift you money. I personally think it will look more reasonable when a parent, spouse or close relative is the one giving you the said amount, especially if it is a large amount.
Ideally it is better to have them transfer the money from their bank account to yours, or issue out a check that you can have a copy to show evidence of this gift from them. If it is a bank transfer you can have them print out a page from their account showing when the amount was transferred to you.
So,to cut my long story short. you only need a gift deed from the donor to the donee, declaring that he/she is gifting you the said amount from his or her back account name, number or check number blah blah out of love and you are not obligated to pay back etc. and also, you need to show where the money was transferred from or how it was given to you,either check copy or bank statement history showing where the money left the donor's account.

Thanks a lot am grateful this settled my worries atleast an uncle cn help

Please house help me answer this question regarding POF.
Is it only ur parents that can give you deed of gift? Can an uncle or relative not bearing the same name with you give u funds n take the deed of gift?

Also will they need to submit their Bnk statement to show that they r not impaired by the gift, along with the deed?

Please can someone help me answer this ASAP Godbless

[quote author=britiko post=47919210]Hello Everyone,
please has anyone done WES evaluation by sending in only copies of certificates without transcripts?

you only send copies of the original certificate ur school has to send the transcripts to them seperately

Good day everyone. Please I need some answers to the following questions

1. Can anyone outside ur parents give you a gift of money for POF? If yes what r the procedures or wat will be presented to Canadian authorities?

2. Can u get fixed deposit certificate from a bank u dnt hv an account with ( some banks dnt require that), coz some banks hv higher interest rate Dan others which seems to be profitable. The reason am asking is because somewhere in the thread, I read dat ur fixed deposit certificate must contain d date ur account was opened with d Bnk and 6 months average account balance

Thanks

Hello everyone. please is it possible to get professional qualifications like acca verified? I have enquired from iqas & was told they only deal with academic institutions like universities. I would appreciate it if anyone who has verified a professional certificate can advice. this enquiry is for my sister who also has a degree in accounting. I was wondering if there is a body that assess both degrees & professional certifications. thanks in advance.

Yes they evaluate send a copy of your certificate to them, at the same time enter it wen ur Registering the qualifications you want to evaluate. Then send an email to ACCA telling them to send ur transcripts to WES Canada and tell them to quote the reference number WES gives you wen you hv finished registration on the letter
