Federal Marriage Registry is better and will save you a lot of headache. People use Local Government Marriage Certificate too, but be aware that Federal Government of Nigeria has nullified such certificates in supreme court recently.

Enlighten me please.

With my understanding, the money must be there throughout the period till you finally land in Canada. During background/elegibility checks, I am sure they verify with your bank. Upon landing, some have reported that they also check at point of entry while, majority did not.

So, it's safe to allow the money sit in your account.

kcosam:
Yes oo, its higher by far, but my major concern is if someone can still use the funds to continue running his business after printing the back statement, or does it have to be there throughout the duration of the AIPP visa application?

Nairaland General › Re: Re: Immigrate To Canada Through AIPP Part 1 by connectgt: 9:33pm On Aug 29, 2019

The requirements are not the same. The proof of fund is higher than AIPP by far o. Cic updated their site with the requirements some days ago. In fact POF is one of the reasons some of us are exploring this AIPP route.

Make God help us.

Nah, the two programs AIPP & RNIP have to be consolidated like all PNP threads cos they are the same requirements .

Sorry I have been offline. It's possible to add additional certificate. Just send them a webmail to be sure how to go about it.

You will send both the professional Diploma and Associate certificate to them, while you also request CIPM to forward your transcript.

As for your CRS simulation, your ECA falls under two or more certificates since your professional Diploma will come out as 3 years Bachelor's degree.

Hope this helps.

smilizangi:
Thank you sir. I still need a bit of clarification on this process. My ECA is already in progress for my BSC. How do I add a new evaluation for CIPM? Am I sending the transcript, professional dip or asscociate cert? Will I have to pay an additional fee? Lastly On simulatuon of my CRS where will this fall in? Will it be masters/ professional degree? I am yet to know the details of my NoC as I am in banking ops( team lead). Kindly assist

I don't know if this has been answered. Yes, WES evaluate CIPM if you have a professional diploma.

smilizangi:
Please seniors in the house, does WES evaluate CIPM? I have checked and googled but didn't get a satisfactory answer.

Let me add my contribution to this issue. I am not in UK, but still searching for an opportunity to leave naija.

@Aphrodite007 said is correct. I got to know about this while researching for ways to travel. Please, read the Premium times news paper for July 24, 2019 with the link below:

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/342672-nigeria-introduces-new-federal-marriage-certificate.htmlquote author=Aphrodite007 post=80488321]

I am not sure how correct this is. Before 2018 the embassies received all wedding certificates both local and federal. But there was a circular in the newspapers that the embassies are only going to recognise federal.

I didn’t want to test the waters with my own spousal visa so I just went to a federal court and did mine to avoid stories that touch. So unless someone that did their spousal visa in 2018 says that they used their local govt wedding cert, I think it’s best to just do the federal.[/quote]

This is a useful information I got from the sister thread and thought I should share.

Let's be very careful in our applications.

COPIED! COPIED!! COPIED!!!

If you have ever applied to the US or Canada before for a visit and your visa
was denied, then you need to read this mail very well.

I will use this story to quickly explain what i have to say today.

A lady applied for US visa sometimes in 2016 but was denied.
She reapplied in 2017 for child birth stuff and she was given.

Because her sister lives in Toronto Canada, she went ahead to apply
for a Canadian tourist visa so that after the childbirth, she could just enter
Canada through New York to Toronto to pay her sister a visit. There is a US-Canada
land border between New York and Toronto hence the need for that visa.

Unfortunately, while filling her Canadian tourist visa form,she made a mistake
under the background information session. On the form she was asked if she has been denied
visa, or removed from any country before. She said No!
Fine, she hasn't been removed from any country before but she has been denied once
in the US.
Well, it could be an oversight right? Not with immigration.No ignorance in law they say.

Before the visa was refused, the case officer sent her a Procedural fairness letter
to explain the "oversight"
She realized a mistake has been made and told the truth in her response with evidence.

Case closed she thought....

No response from Ghana. She wrote again for follow up.Nothing came.
She didn't know she has been tagged inadmissible for 5 years and she was not properly communicated.

Now in 2018, the husband went through all the processing for the MPNP.
Luckily has a brother in Manitoba.Went through the Express entry linked MPNP route.
Got Provincial nomination after 6 months. Got ITA thereafter on the 7th month.

-Did medicals
-Police report
-Biometric

But guess what....the evil ban was there waiting.

But you might say he wasn't the one banned right?

May 2019, the mail landed from CIC.
His wife's name was flagged under Inadmissibility.
That was when they really knew they were banned in 2017 when madam applied to Canada.

And the law says if a member of the family have an issue bothering on
inadmissibility, it affects all the members of the family if they want to
come to that same country for the period of the ban.

The news was devastating to the whole family of four.
Madam cried all night.

But Ghana too didn't do a good job in terms of communication as the woman till today claimed
she didn't get any mail from Accra that she has been deemed Inadmissible to Canada for 5 years.

They took the case up and got lawyers...letters were written to Nova Scoatia and
Ghana copied again. For Ghana, the decision is final. Nova scoatia...yet to respond.

Why did i take all the time to write this long story today.

please note the following:

1. Be very careful when filling any form especially when it comes to background information

2. Be honest with your input. Don't assume they will never know

3. US and Canada share a lot of database especially on immigration.

4. If you have been denied in any of these two countries, don't just assume
its just denial...read the letter very well and if they make reference to something
in the letters, go to google and find OUT!

5. It is better to know you have been banned early before you start all the
process and spend all the money again.

Please, let's focus on getting what we want first. There are many spies on nairaland who gives intelligence to VO's. I have been following this thread in Canadavisa forum and I sincerely appreciate @hannamia007 for taking out time to creat this for Nigerians. Many Indians have taken advantage of this program and are living their fulfilled life in canada now. The most important thing is getting a job and landing in Canada. On the flip side though, you may be able when you have satisfied the requirement to become a citizen. As canadian citizens, you are qualified by law to live anywhere in Canada.

Let's all make this forum great by sharing informations that could help all of us.

Check your WES profile after 2-3 days, your profile will change to "We received your documents. We are reviewing your documents". That's exactly what happened to me. Mine was sent twice and they only acknowledged the second one after 3 days.

Hello everyone,
My university verified my transcript to Wes via email last Friday. I contacted Wes about it on Wednesday to know why it was taking so long for them to acknowledge receipt of the email. I was told they don't have any information about the said email.

I Contacted my university to resend the email again yesterday and they did.
Please, what do I do? ECA is the only barrier I have before entering the pool.

Hello all
Please can anyone assist with the timelines for WES ECA?

I commenced my ECA process early in January; as at 11 February, WES had received all my documents (University transcript and WAEC requirements) and updated my status to "Your evaluation is in progress. You are not required to do anything at this time." It has now been this way for 11 days. I understand that WES will send my documents back to my school for verification. Please what status should I expect to see when WES sends to my school? Is it normal to take over 11 days after initially receiving my transcripts for my status to change?

I need to know when WES sends the credentials to my school so I can start following up with my contact there.
Thanks

Only one WAEC result is enough. It doesn't matter the grades and you can only use one unscratch card for a single result and not two. So, process one result and one card.

Hope this help.

You must not include O'level while filling the form. As far as it's a Nigerian degree, it's a requirement effective August 2018.
Tell your friend to visit WAEC office at Yaba to process the result verification if he/she lives in Lagos. WAEC Unscratched card is also required in addition to the verification which WAEC will send on his/her behalf.
Approximate cost; Affidavit-(1,500 -3,000), Unscratch card-(1,500), Verification -(10,000), Courier - (10,000) Total=24,500

All the requirements will be given to you at their office in Lagos or Port Harcourt if he/she is in south south.

Hope that helps.

Fadia:
Good morning, everyone.

Please for the people who evaluated with WES after their WAEC wahala started, did you include your secondary schools as part of the "Institutions" or not? And was WAEC scratch card required for both certificates (the person is using two degrees)?

My friend is in the process of applying for WES and we're both confused with the entire thing and because I didn't have to evaluate my WAEC when I was doing mine, I have no idea how to go about it.

Yes, it is true. Ask them in Abuja there if they can accept the application and send to lagos on your behalf. I submitted mine in Port Harcourt Zonal office and they sent it to Lagos on my behalf. I monitored the progress through my contact in PH office until it was done and the verification sent to WES from Lagos.

You must go to WAEC office in Lagos or any of the zonal office close to where you live. They will give you all the requirements for result verification. You will then submit photocopy of your WAEC certificate along with all relevant credentials to them and they will send to WES on your behalf. They won't accept the one you sent to them.

It's a straight forward thing. Just send a mail to exams@cipmnigeria.org and ask for requirement for obtaining transcript. They will respond with the list of required items. Mine was ready within 4 workings days after submiting all the documents. They won't dispatch for you,but would require you to pick it up yourself. Since, I am not in Lagos, I just called someone to pick it up for me.
