thank you.

I didnt want to assume the POF calculated the actual fund requirement.

You know how you can get somewhere and suddenly the expenses are x2 of what you estimated cos you did not research well

jesusbaby01:
well if single get a shared accomodation or a basement say 750/month, register for low income bus pass $35/month I believe, Feeding should be around $150 plus groceries if you cook. So just factor in 3500 but don't wait for 3 months before getting a job. change that mindset that you'd get a job within 1 month so you just don't stay at home after landing doing nothing cos you gave yourself a 3 month mark. You get my drift?

Everygirl:
Hello everyone,

This thread has been so informative.

Please for one person, how much on average do you need to take with you to Canada (Calgary).

I am estimating not getting a job for about 3 months so I would like to know how much I'll need to survive for that period.

Thanks

Please and please,never ever tell anyone abroad your kids have Malaria,they see it as someone with Ebola.
Worst part,you telling a Doctor,they will immediately isolate the patient to a particular room.
You can imagine that kind of experience.

Good morning to the elders in the house. Please I want a clarification on the following questions:
1: Is it only family members (father ,brother or friend) that can give someone gift deed as a proof of funds?.
Yes. See attachment.

2: Which one is more better to use for proof of funds, savings or current account due to minimum balance quoted by some banks?
Savings. You would want an account that yields some sort of interest until you get PPR

3: Will someone remove out of the proof of funds as cash at hand on the day when he/ she is traveling to Canada?.
Yes

Thanks for kind response

That thread is long for me to comprehend.......it will take me a week to finish that thread....

Claire18:
Its possible, but I would suggest getting a short stay for maybe 2-3 weeks and understand which area works for you. Some films regret where they stay especially if their place of work is far from the house. Some can't wait to leave downtown apartments, but have to wait till their lease is over. But who knows...you might love the place too! Try signing a short lease of 6 months just in case

In view of the above, and in an attempt to unravel the circumstances surrounding the entire transaction, the Attorney - General of the Federation , with the approval of Mr President , has requested the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , the National Intelligence Agency and the Inspector -General of Police to conduct a thorough investigation into the company , the circumstances surrounding the agreement and the subsequent event, which includes commencing a full-scale criminal investigation

Do you think it’ll fly with this gap??

dalobaba:
Hello,

Thanks for being here. I want to start the Canada Express Entry process and I have a burning question to ask. I heard America embassy shares information with Canada Embassy and I will like to know where I stand before proceeding.

About 3 years ago I was denied a US visa. In the application, I claimed I was married. My bad! (I was single and i’m still single). I want to know if I won’t have any issue with proceeding with Canada Express Entry as a single. I’m so qualified for the Canada Express Entry, this is the only thing holding me back for now. Please clarify. All the best

Will there be a draw today?

It's baffling though how 8/7/7/7 seems better than 9/9/9/6.5

This is wonderful. I’m so excited. Yea, we did it! This is also my victory. Getting a 7.0 with a 3-day coaching, let’s now wait for the last exam for which I coached you for a week. You may even get a 7.5. Congrats once again. I’m here to liberate people from the shackles of IELTS writing, and it feels good achieving that.

I’m glad for the bolded statement in your comment. Anyone coming to me, please format your brain as regards IELTS writing. I once had a student who was constantly arguing with me in our reviews, and he was constantly making the errors I told him not to make. Anyway, he left, but I pray he gets his desired Writing score wherever he sought help from.

So, Daybour1, have a lovely day. Celebrate! This is a huge feat. With the CRS score you told me you now stand at, I know you will get an ITA in the next draw or in 2 further draws. You are already in Canada as far as I am concerned. Now unto my next candidate for a breakthrough testimony here.

Daybour1:
I would be the most ungrateful being if I didn't share my story here. This is not PPR (at least not yet), but I just conquered IELTS on the 10th attempt, still awaiting result of the 11th and a remark of my 9th. First of all, my ultimate gratitude goes to God Almighty for giving me the resilience to fight though these trying times.

My first IELTS test was April 21 2018, and I wrote back to back on a monthly basis until 23rd May 2019 (the game changer). Months I didn't write, I was hoping for a positive EOR, none ever came back changed. Allow me to state that, the 6.5 in writing was my major hurdle. I have sought help tirelessly on this thread but it was the same story. I eventually stopped practicing for other components again because I knew all the questions and answers in my head already, I mean, after studying almost every day of your life for over 12 months, there was nothing new to learn.

To be brief, my last resort was to contact @JohnnyBravo just 3 days to the test of 23rd May. I ensured I unlearned everything I had learnt about writing and strictly followed his teachings. I'm sincerely grateful to you for your attention and professionalism, God bless you endlessly. For all who are still stuck with writing, please let him guide you. Thank you again bro.

In conclusion, (sorry o but after taking the writing test for over 12 months, my writing has been structured into 4 BPs) while it is not easy, I'd like to encourage anyone struggling with any aspect of this journey not to give up. There's joy in knowing you eventually conquered. I'm positioned for an ITA in the coming draws and may The Good Lord make the rest of the journey smooth for us. Amen.
