Hello guys,

Wes updated my profile last week to docs received and reviewing...... Now they have updated to awaiting transcript....my transcript was sent over 2 weeks ago and should have been received..... Is it advisable to contact them?

You can contact them so you'll understand what's going on. Looks weird to me.

What's with "Amputee"? Why not just "Up and coming Nollywood actor"

After passing medicals, when you have been assigned UCI.
No use, in my opinion. People know it for knowing sake, PPR will come when it wants to come. Tables can turn at any point in time, less favourable visa office(s) can become favourable tomorrow and vice versa.

Although some like to know in order to stabilise their blood pressure while some to increase their fasting from 3days to 40days, appease their village people, or bring down fire for smooth application processing

Hahaha. Nice. No thumbs up emoji. So, just manage this one

Hello house,

My CRS is 408 with max scores in IELTs. I am married with 2kids.My husband has issues with his certificate, the School misplaced his 200L results and he’s also not so keen on writing IElts. I chosehubby not accompanying to get the CRS 408. When (if) I get NOI from Ontario, is it possible to edit my profile to spouse accompanying and get him to write IELTs?
If he doesn’t score all 7 or 8 in the exam I won’t be able to get over 400 CRS.
Is it right to change / edit profile post Ontario nomination?

There is only very little chance you'll get ITA with 408. I'd suggest just starting out with your husband while targeting a nomination. I actually feel it's more likely you'll get a nomination first and be on your way to a PPR before you get ITA with 408, if you do.

TEECANN:
Hello @Issyman

Just a lil curious. Does WES carry out assessment of professional certification like ICAN?

I thought it's on their website that professional training is not within their mandate.

Pls can you help me with the purpose of verifying ICAN as against the usual Bsc and Msc that we know.

Thanks buddy.

Yes they do, but you need to make sure it's the new syllabus.

@cochtrane
@
There is a method. I saw it on a whatassp forum try this.
1.log in to you cic account
2.go to check submitted application
3.look at your url or adresss bar in browser
4.you will see the link as....
DocumentTosubmit.do
5.replace only these words with

applicationChecklist.do

The rest of the url will remain the same.
6.press enter.

Wow! That looks like a hack. It may work, but I'd be wary about doing that. An easy trace will show the user attempted that. Clever idea though.

Dammie2017:
Is there anyway to view submitted applications/ checklist after AOR.. incase you made an error

I don't think there is. If you feel you've made an error, you should raise a CSE instead.

Ronke1114:
Hi guys, quick question pls, my IELTS is expiring on the 9th of Jan. So my questions are

1. If we get ITA next week and we submit our application before the 9th are we good to go? I have read several opinions on this, even on Canada visa forum. Pls let me know if someone has been in my shoes and got PPR

2. Would you advice I just book for another date and rewrite? Pls let me know, what you think.

As long as you submit before the date it expires (2 years), you should be fine. But you need to make sure it's 2 years. If you wrote on the 9th Jan, for example, two years will be at least a day before 9th Jan 2018. And that's the date of the exam.

The thread is moving quite fast I must admit. I noticed a lot people quoting long posts. This practice contributed greatly to the speed of the thread. I urge us to refrain from doing this.

While I agree with you that it's unnecessary to quote long posts, I don't think that actually contributes "greatly to the speed of the thread". Every page on Nairaland must carry 32 posts; that's been programmatically determined from the beginning so that even if anyone quoted an incredibly long post, it doesn't change anything, it's still 32. Even if a post is hidden by the mods that page will still carry 32 posts (including the hidden post). Quoting long posts does nothing to increase the length of the thread. What increases the length of the thread is asking questions for which answers have already been suggested to death or are in Page 0-1.
Just thought to put this out there, cos someone said the same thing sometime ago and it's actually not correct assumption.

Adiahabasi:
London VO! I just tire.In the early days, I used to hate Boss13's guts, felt he was overbearing, shoving his opinions down people's throats. Hmm,however, these days, I agree almost 100% wt him even though he goes overboard once in a while. The wait is no joke! 5months post AOR and LVO is still saying file awaiting review! They haven't even touched it at all since it was transfered to them. One is just in limbo. And to add salt to the existing injury you keep seeing applications that took roughly 16-22 days from AOR to PPR! Anyways in God we trust, would soon sing my victory song. I just dey console myself say its 6months average processing time they told us ab initio. Fingers crossed and calmly waiting. Phew!

Of course, it will come. Unfortunately it's taking too long, but that in itself should be a good sign. If they were looking unfavourably on your application, the decision would have come sooner than now. So, it's a positive sign.

Thanks everyone for all the contribution. Its still like a dream... I never thought i would get PPR now.

Please Pray and Pray. My file got stuck at NA2 for two weeks while others on the whatsapp group were getting PPR. I prayed mine out... Suddenly only mine among the stuck files moved to IP2.

My earlier plan was to apply for student visa for January until i stumbled upon this thread. Here i am today... who i be?

God is the greatest.

Congrats!!

But that bolded part though. I'm guessing the rest just don't know how to pray

XX01:
Please remove her number. It is wrong to share someone's number on the internet without the person's consent. Let us start practicing Canadian standards. Scammers can get hold of it sef and scam her.

That's actually not Canadian standards. It's just common sense.

codew0rks:
Pls explain how info will be inaccessible?

Not available through a Google search, for example.

flosk:
So please can you explain further, how can experience score from different noc both add up in the express entry? I thought in this case you can either claim 1year of a particular noc OR 2 years of the other noc.

Are you saying it is possible to claim both 1+2 years from different noc to get 3 years.?

Please explain further.

Read this

codew0rks:
I opened PNP and FST thread but was shutdown by someone. The thread is still available but not active. I think WhatsApp is better platform for this. So have created WhatsApp group every info including PNP and FST will be shared. This will serve as alert as some PNP may open for few minutes

Whatsapp is a good idea. Unfortunately, it just makes info inaccessible to many more.

This looks like a good link for those who wanna go the PNP route to start out with http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-who.asp

I'm of the opinion there really should be a different thread for PNP. It only makes sense. Most of the conversations here don't serve the purpose of those who wanna go the PNP route. PNP guys probably need to continue to push so the mods can finally listen.

sistaj:
Congrats @sweetrie.Bc really needs to look inwards o and need to reduce waiting time for remark drastically.There should even be room to seek damages for such lapses.imagine how many people who didn't bother asking for remark that would have gotten upgrade. Well one day one day they go see.lol

I guess the refund is enough for damages. They might as well hold it for their trouble. No Nigerian institution offers refund for remarks, if I'm correct.

Jeswino:
I just got an ITA and hope this does not amount to misrepresentation.

ii. In the last 10 years, how many total years of skilled work experience do you have?
It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B).

I chose 3 years but it is 1.25 years in the first company and 2 years in the second company which are NOC 0 and NOC A jobs.

Enter it as you have stated. You should be able to first enter your NOC 0, and then your NOC A. This means both NOC will count towards your express entry and only one of them towards your FSW score.

Abbylee:
Hello guys,

Can I go ahead and create a profile without my test report number or must I wait till I have picked it up from British Council? Will I need that number now?

Yes you will the number when creating your profile.

mamacajah:
My result is out...Which way to go people? Should I risk a remark or prepare for Jan 2018?

Listening: 8.0
Reading: 6.5
Writing: 7.0
Speaking: 7.5

I am in shock at the writting as I did not finish at all. It is well.

My birthday is next month. Can I use this to enter the pool before doing the next exam or just wait till I get a better result and then enter the pool? Pls your advise guys!

In my opinion rewriting is always better than remarking as you'll wait some significant time before the result comes out. I think you should enter the pool and then rewrite the exam, if you can. There's also the likelihood the reading may not change after remarking. It's less likely to be upgraded. So just enter the pool with this as long as it's above 410 or so

arizona20:
Good People of NL,

My Dh second name differs on Transcript and International Passport. Eg Arinze and Arinzechukwu.

I was advised that Affidavit of one and the same can suffice.

My question is,

Please at what stage of this application process, do we need to provide the Affidavit for one and same.

Also should he upload the said Affidavit with his Degree certificate while sending his document to WES.

Please help me out.

Personally, I don't see why this should be a bother. I'm sure there are a number of people who have applied and got PPRs with such subtle difference in their name across documents. There are additional indicators (like DoB) which is often used to know that these docs refer to one and the same person.

However, if you wanna put your mind at rest and must do an affidavit, you can send it with your WES evaluation as Dammie pointed out. WES could reflect it on your ECA. Alternatively you can specify the multiple names while applying on the CIC portal and a placeholder will be automatically generated where you can upload the affidavit.

ejobeh:
Does WES evaluate "Trade Test Certificate" ?

Most likely no. They evaluate educational credentials. Trade test certificates are more experience-focused. Do you wanna apply under the skilled trade class or skilled worker class?

stealth02:
There appears to be a dearth of information surrounding PNPs

Good job! Nice.

Petrelli112:
Good evening all, congrats to all ITA and and PPR recipients.
I have a little bit of an issue, I am trying to pay for ielts, after using the generated account number, I can't seem to find standard chartered bank on the bank list, I don't know what I am doing wrong, please help!

Which bank list exactly? After generating the number, you should enter it into your bank portal and then select "Standard Chartered".

immanuella3:
Either these two sentences in these photos contradict each other or I am misinterpreting them. Could someone better explain them for me? Please and thanks in advance.

"Apply" refers to submitting your final application on the portal.

Congrats guys!

omesanni:
On Nov 1, my status changed from application in progress (ip1) to we are processing your background check(ip2). Then yesterday it changed to Not applicable. What does this mean.

Its kind of weird to me because people normally go from ip2 to ppr and I have no idea why mine didn't go that route. Was expecting to get PPR today but its already end of the day and nothing showed up. Any thoughts?

Don't take everything you read here at face value. There is no hard rule about the changes going as you have said. It does vary with many people.

Santino1:
I'm considering the fact that over 77000 ITAs have issued already. That's more than 100% increase from 2016 and 2015.

There was already a plan to issue this many ITAs in 2017

Santino1:
I'll advice everyone yet to submit to really really tidy up their applications as rejection/refusal will be their mode of cutting down the numbers. Just don't give them a reason for refusal. Dang, I'm beginning to sound like @Boss13.

I disagree. They wouldn't use rejection/refusal to reduce numbers. They could simply just increase the CRS score by limiting number of ITA.

Momentum2017:
Please I need help! I reached out to CIC to enquire about my application and got the mail below:

"Dear xxxxx

Please note that your application was approved and a Accra Ready for Visa letter with instructions was sent via email on OCTOBER 13th, 2017. Please check your inbox and spam folder and notify our office if you have not received this letter.

Regards,"

I have currently relocated to another country for work, pease what's the next step?

You should check your spam for the mail
