I thought the minimum is one year in the last 10 years. Why the 6 years you stated Or am I missing something?

funshobabs:
Hopefully this week. At most the last week in August.

capiti:
I am creating my EE profile at the moment. I need clarification on this issue.

When creating the express entry profile, is it important to add all my work experience or just the experience I am using to claim points?

Thanks

Remxyj:
Yaaaaay... I made it to part 2. This ministry is bearing great fruit o. Weldone seniors

Aor: July 5
Medical passed: July 21
NA/IP1- I missed the change so no date.
ADR: August 1 (RPPR Fee)
Ip2: August 18 ( When I noticed)

I stated earlier in part one that I have a cute addition to my family last week Friday, should I just wait for PPR mail since I'm now in Ip2 to notify Cic or i should still go ahead and raise a CSE?
Don't really understand how Ip1 or 2 background check works, so I hope this is Ip2
Please advice cos I don't wanna long things for myself.

Bimpsy99:
Thanks for the observation
What I wrote is based on comments on this thread. I would like someone with practical experience clarify this.

Just for the records: Bsc+ATS from ICAN is also evaluated as two or more certificates, with ATS evaluated as one-year college diploma. If anyone has ATS from ICAN, please ensure to include it in your WES application in order to get maximum points for your credentials. Can't say for ICAS or IQAS.

What is a gift deed?
You don't have enough money for Proof of Funds and you would have a relation or friend post a bulk sum into your account to cover your proof of funds. You then do a gift deed to somehow "legalize" this transaction so that it doesn't raise eyebrows. This is so your application stands in good shape.

Firstly, you should do a gift deed only if you feel comfortable doing it. IRCC has not explicity required that applicants do a gift deed. It's not present on their website. However, there is evidence to believe some have done gift deeds and successfully obtained their PR. My guess is that the Visa Officers evaluated each application on its own merit. Therefore, how you package your gift deed in your overall application is more likely to have an effect on how successfully it is evaluated. As far as I can tell, the gift deed idea evolved from the canadavisa site into Nairaland. Nairalanders embraced it and some have used it successfully.

How does a gift deed work?
A friend, family member, etc, sends a bulk amount into your account before you obtain your statement of account. Then you have to draft some sort of "explanation" attributable to this person which effectively assures the VO that the money has been gifted to you for valid reasons.

Can anyone provide you a gift deed or just family members?

And for at least one person, a bulk of the money entered into her account without a gift deed. No explanations, lol:

Finally, it is unlikely you will find any 100% conviction from anyone to use a gift deed. So, don't start asking the question to death. Use it after you have assessed all these collated opinions above and you become convinced yourself.

Are there alternatives? Yes! You can get the money and put it into some fixed deposit investment, then present the FD. Similarly, you can use it for treasury bills or mutual funds, etc. In summary, there are options. The decision lies with you.

Good luck

Interpreting the ECA result

Kindly refer to the attached for the interpretation of ECA result. Please note the word 'post graduate', 'graduate certificate'. This means that ND+BSC do not qualify for two or more certificates. as the ND would be assessed as a two year diploma. However dual bachelors degree (four years each) qualifies.

Hephgirl:
Number 5 and number 8
Please explain
5. Attach original Pcc abi?
8.??

Dear Friends,

According to forum topic I found that we are discussing and sharing a lot of other stuff with each other. Its not bad but we must also keep focusing on possible reasons of rejection before application as well as during the processing time. I start creating a list of reported reasons of rejections you can add more reasons in it or just send me new reasons in inbox to create a useful database.

1. Job not specified as full time and permanent employment
2. Failure to upload ECA (even though it does not ask for it on the upload page)
3. Passport scan missing or incomplete.
4. Missing Proof of Education.
5. Missing original PCC.
6. Incorrect NOC
7. Duties Mismatch
8. Submitting PCCs with specific addresses mentioned
9. Not providing "certified true" transcripts for Canadian degree/diploma
10. POF less than LICO

POST ITA PROCESS

For those who are waiting for ITA, check the following and prepare the necessary documents.

After you receive ITA, once you log in to your Express Entry profile, you will have two buttons
- Continue Application
- Decline Invitation

Note: You will have 60 days to submit your PR application electronically with all supporting documents. 60 days start from the day you get ITA, if you feel that you will not be able to arrange all the documents in 60 days, you can decline the ITA anytime before the expiry of 60 days and you will be back in the pool. In case you decline your ITA, then you will be eligible to be invited again provided you meet the CRS cut-off requirement.

Once you click Continue Application, you will be taken to pages similar to your Express Entry forms that you filled up. This page would have all the information carried forward from your Express Entry profile and additionally you also need to fill up Address History, Personal History and Travel History for each member listed in the application.

DOCUMENT CHECKLIST

Post completion of each section, the system would generate a personal document checklist based on the information submitted by you in the previous pages. A sample document checklist for a family of two (FSW) without any Canadian relatives would look like something below.

Supporting Documents for Primary Applicant

FEE PAYMENT

Once you have uploaded the documents, you have the option to make payment and submit your eAPR. Post ITA after clicking Continue, you will be asked whether you want to pay RPRF upfront, in case you have mentioned Yes and later want to modify it, you can do so by going to Modify Family Information which you can find in the menu bar.

Permanent Resident Application Fee: CAD 550 per applicant
Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF): CAD 490 per applicant

You can make payment using credit card and debit cards provided international transactions are allowed on your card. Contact your bank to check the same. MasterCard, Visa and Amex cards are accepted. Ensure that your bank has not put any transaction limit, contact your bank before using your card for payment. In case you do not have suffcient balance or credit limit, you can use your family member's or friend's card as CIC has no restriction on the same.

You will get Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) immediately after you make the payment.

THINGS TO NOTE

Police Certificate - If you already have nomination do not wait for ITA, apply for police certificate soon. For countries that you have already left, in case you do not have the police certificate, initiate the process for the same as well as some countries take time to issue you a police certificate.

Medicals - CIC has a list of empaneled clinics/hospitals where you need to get medical tests done. Check this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx. The following basic tests and checks are carried out (If you have had any or have any medical conditions, you need to let them know and also carry any medical records that you have)
1. Blood
2. Urine
3. Chest X-Ray
4. Eye Sight
5. Blood Pressure
6. Height/Weight
7. Physical examination by physician

You will not be given the results of the tests, the clinic will upload it directly to CIC. You will be given an Acknowledgement Form which you need to upload as proof of medical exam. Please ensure all the information on the Acknowledgment Form is correct as per passport and that the category on your medicals is mentioned as Non-EDE/Worker. If you find any discrepancy, get it corrected then and there itself and get an updated Acknowledgement Form.

Digital Photo - The final frame size of the photo should be at least 35mm x 45mm. The photograph must show a full front view of the head and tops of shoulders. The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31mm and 36mm. The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540. The final size of the image should not be less than 60KB. The file should be submitted in JPEG format.

Reference Letter - For previous employers, the letter obtained after you have left is good enough, unless and until you want to get a fresh letter or want to get the letter updated. For current employer as a rule of the thumb, get a fresh letter if the previous one which you got is older than 6 months. For other questions related to reference letter check this thread http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/nail-the-challenge-of-getting-reference-letter-from-current-employer-t397796.0.html

ECA, IELTS - There is no separate placeholder for IELTS and WES. So you can upload IELTS and WES along with educational documents.

Proof of Funds (POF) - Get latest and updated POF. Ensure you cover as much as information requested by CIC in the Bank Letter/Bank Certificate.

Letter of Explanation(LOE) - Though this is an optional document, please use it to your advantage to explain anything you feel the officer should know or consider while assessing your application.

Provincial Nominees(PNP) - If you are a provincial nominee would suggest you to submit copy of nominaton certificate and Schedule 4 (IMM0008_4E) upfront along with LOE. Though these are not asked for when submitting eAPR, later you will be requested to submit Schedule 4.

Statutory Questions - In case you answer 'Yes' to any Statutory Questions, then explain the reason for the same in LOE and also submit Schedule A (IMM5669E) along with LOE. Though Schedule A is not asked for when submitting eAPR, later you will be requested to submit Schedule A.

Document Size & File Format - All documents should be uploaded as PDF not more than 4MB, except for digital photo which should be in JPEG format and not less than 60KB. For each placeholder, it should be one PDF. If you have multiple pages, merge them into one PDF for each placeholder. If the file size exceeds 4MB, scan the documents with scanner settings at 100 dpi or less but ensure that the files are legible. You can also use online tools like Small PDF to compress, merge and split PDFs etc (https://smallpdf.com/).

Help/Instructions - If you have any doubt about the documents that needs to be uploaded, check the help, blue button (Instructions) next to the Upload File button

Yooku:
Come to think of it we have not seen the summaries from pages 400-800 ohhh....Professor Cochtrane..your students await your published analysis and findings oh!!

yokus:
I dont think it is a problem bro, but i hope you put the name in the space where they asked if you have been refererred to by any other name.

perks:
U r just worrying urself over a non-issue.

ugoiyke79e:
I cant remember where i read of a "one and same person affidavit"
I leave it to u our resident search engine to find d post.
Also as always said here, IRCC is favourably disposed to sworn affidavit.
so think of that too.

jenny3:
No issue, just get an affidavit saying your names with middle name and without are same person

Hephgirl:
I don't think it's an ish.... But if it bothers u or will make u worried LOE to d rescue.

JustinTrudeau:
I seriously do not know what they want.However i'll write back to them on the issue of my personal details.The guy that took my passport photograph on speaking test day was the one that told me to fill the form. My examiner also asked if i've filled it,so also during the screening on the test day.

I wrote my last test 25/05/2017 and i had a low score.I got just 6 in listening.I mustered courage and prepared very well for this one,was very optimistic.Malpractice? ??Never!!! I was even sitting in the front row, right infront of the guy dishing out instructions strictly.August 03 candidate can relate.

I don't know why IELTS can't just trust that people can turn around their scores by studying hard and taking it a second time. IELTS has turned to prayer point now.

I just hope and pray the score will be worth it when they eventually release the results
Thanx yemdogg

edozye:
03 Aug IELTS test LRWS- 8.5, 8.5, 7.5, 7 ( Third attempt). Praise God.

Hello peeps........................

Okay bye...........................

Going back to "Living in Canada" thread. Hope you all come join me soon....

DatechMan:
Hello fam,
My ECA landed today.

The DOB quoted on the report is the DOB on the transcript.
The DOB on my international passport is different.

Please elders, how do you suggest I resolve this?

kissoflife:
I will start gathering that but POF is the main issue now. i just wanted to get in the pool first the rest will follow gradually, thanks for your help.


Not sure what exactly was the problem but i did the following;

1. updated OND as two yr diploma
2. updated HND as three year diploma or more (Note: WES acesssed this as three years diploma and one year post graduate certificate)
3. Changed Funding from 12300 to 15000
