HI Family,
I have a challenge that is bothering me. Please am the principal applicant,the issue is disparity in Date of birth. The date of birth in my transcript is different from the one on my passport.
What should I do?
Please all the gurus attend to my question.
I am sure u have a bigger challenge.

What should I do? Read at least 50 pages back.

Next step is as communicated in the mail.
@datechman, maybe you should provide poster with direction on how you contacted CIC when your PPR was hiding.
Congrats though...
Sorry guys. I saw this late.
I have been in ghost mode. I got banned/restricted by bot or admin ( justwise ).
I could not post comments. I just got unbanned today

Firstly, kindly note that this issue although similar to mine has a peculiar context. A 15-day ultimatum or thereabout is usually given to submit passport. My case was still within the timeline.
Nevertheless, you can still try my approach. Firstly, search your inbox and spam folders to ascertain that the said email is not there.
Reply to the email. Tell them that you never got such mail and that you would appreciate if it is resent.
In my case, it was sent 2 days later directly into my CIC account.

I wish this get sorted ASAP.
Bless you bro

I'm laughing because he clearly has no idea.. cheesy

To your question, find the answer below:

Access to credit
Easy set up process for businesses
Cheap labor/man power availability
Tax waivers
Available market for various commodities
Agriculture loans and credit facilities
Opportunities to invest
Real estate
Access to Credit - Liar!
Except you are talking about LAPO, SEAP and other microfinance that will give you 30k at exhorbitant interest rate.

Easy setup of business
You will still need to register your company and pay taxes even if your company can barely survive. Unless you are referring to roadside business.

Cheap Labor? Are you for real? Blame unemployment. My last driver was a graduate. I paid him 30k.

Tax waivers? Who pays the tax anyways? If you know someone in FIRS, you get your clearances, no sweats

Available Market? Which market? Even people still make money selling food in Syria

Agricultural loans? After being tricked to open a saving account with a bank, nothing was gotten. Only people that are ready to go through backdoors get these so-called loans.

Opportunity to invest? I laff hard when I hear this. Like it's supposed to be some luxury.

Real estate? Where? Chibok? Did you know some people had to sell their property in Ikorodu for a cheap price?
Real estate is investment, why are you repeating yourself?

Thank you @judgement.

When I simulated my CRS with a perfect IELTS LSRW 8777 for myself and my wife, with two Bachelors already evaluated by CES I got a score of 434

When I simulated my CRS with a perfect IELTS LSRW 8777 for myself and my wife, with a Masters degree (Hoping WES will do the right thing) I got a score of 441.

In your opinion, is 434 good enough for EE draw? or I should try and get WES evaluation to have 441, hoping ofcourse that our IELTs will be like envisaged.

Lastly, what is the least CRS score that can guarantee a draw based on recent events?

Thank you.
If the person with Masters is PA, I expect your score to be higher than 441.
Or maybe there's something I'm missing.

I dont know much about computing, but in Engineering, your English (oral and written) must be excellent. You would be required to write alot of technical reports and communicate with different types of audiences. In field roles, not communicating clearly can get someone killed whether in the Oil, Civil, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering fields. In my opinion, there is no need to mimic. Speaking clearly and correctly would be okay.

I submitted on October 28,2017 after my MSc(Maths) convocation at the University of Saskatchewan. I forgot to add this: My wife submitted Spousal Open Work Permit app since July 5 and we havent heard anything. That was why I even delayed submitting the app early to see if CIC Ghana was gonna answer but upon advices from Nairaland and friends, I decided to submit the app on Saturday. She is included in the app and I did not withdraw her app since she is not the primary applicant.
Oh you are an inlander. All the best

ayodeji2017:
hi house,

please we want to start our canada immigration process as a family with wife going to be the principal applicant. From reading through almost all the pages on this topic, weve decided to start with the WES and then do our ielts exam next. Please my questions are:

1. which documents will be most approriate to send for wes evaluation from the following or do we have to send all:

wife: PhD in education, Masters in education, B.Ed, NCE
me: Masters in Personnel Psychology, HND Computer science, OND, Microsoft certifications (MCSE, MCSA, MCP)

2. Is it only transcipts that is accepted by wes or we can send certificates too as there is no transcript for PhD and Microsoft certifications.

3. Is it adviceable to collect these transcripts from the school and send to wes by myself or we should allow the school take their time in sending it.

4. Please, i will like to know the detail address of WES.

Thanks all while i look forward to reading your replies.
You missed out one crucial information. Your wife's age. This will enable us to advise you appropriately.
However, here is a guidance.
1. Your wife's PhD and your Msc (Optional). You need only evaluate your highest qualifications.
2. PhD requires Confirmation of Doctoral Degree to be sent by institution while you send/fax the certificate to them. WES does not evaluate Microsoft/Cisco certificates.
3. It is advisable that the transcript be sent directly by the school. Certificates will be sent by you.
4. https://www.wes.org/ca/ You will get all the their postal address and other information after you register.

NB: For your ielts, both your wife and you should aim to score at least LRSW 8777. You can use this tool to determine what your CRS score would be. www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

I applied for ECA while doing WES evaluation but i cant find ECA certificate number on the report, i just saw Ref No#: can somebody who has had similar issues help.
If the ref number you see does not end with IMM then you didn't select the correct Evaluation type. You might not have specified IRCC evaluation.

If that is the case, you will need to write to them to convert your evaluation to IRCC Immigration type.

PresVA:
@ Datechman , please can you offer advice based on the above? must the experience one claims be based on one NOC?
Firstly, unlike the Austrailian Immigration scheme, the Canadian express entry does not require that your qualification be related with your experience.
To answer your first question, I would say it is a grey area. It has been debated here severely. While some hold the opinion that you can combine experience from different Noc insofar your primary Noc is above 1 year, others believe it must be same noc or related noc grin. My humble opinion is if you will get a good score with 1 noc don't combine. But if you desperately need those points, combine. The worst that can happen is for your application to be rejected post-ITA.

Good day everyone.

A big shout out to all the contributors on this thread. May God bless you all.

I recently wrote my general ielts yesterday in the UK with the aim of applying for a visa in Australia (visa 476). I never thought I was eligible for the Canadian EE. It was at the test center that a fellow candidate enlightened me. I got home and also found more information from nairaland and phew. I did some predictions based on my expected ielts scores and discovered that I could garner between 444-456 points despite having less than 2 years experience. But I still have a few questions.

I am about to start my certificate verification. I understand that Wes is faster and that it takes them about 20 business days to complete the verification. That is about a month. Does the 20 business days include the date of delivery? The reason for my worry is that, my UK visa expires in early January and I wouldn't want to risk having my credentials delivered to an address I no longer use. And is if possible for me to tell them to deliver it to my Nigerian address.

My second concern is about the proof for fund. If I am able to have the scores I predicted above and the points used for invitation is around anything around the scores used in the recent ones (I checked that on this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/past-rounds.asp ), it means I may risk receiving an ITA without having a POF yet. So I intend not to enter the pool yet even if I have everything else I need. Until I have my POF ready.

My third question is for a friend whom I'm persuading to apply. Her stance is that, her one year teaching experience during NYSC is not usually accepted in the application. She claims that secondary school teaching is not part of the skills they need. She studies biochemistry in first degree, an Biotechnology for her masters. I am of the opinion that her occupation as a biologist should suffice. But I said I would help her to as on nairaland. I am also using my NYSC experience, but my case is different. I was attached to a university.


I know I have asked a lot of questions, but please, I would appreciate your answers and advise.

Thanks
Welcome to the thread.

1. You shouldn't be concerned much about the postal address to use. A softcopy will be sent to you. It's all you need for the process.

2. You will have a 90 day grace from the day your receive your ITA for you to submit your application. I believe it's enough time to tie any loose ends. Baba I pray the container of ITA fall on you . No time to check time

3. Minimum requirement is a 1-year paid employment. NYSC can be used. She would need to get a reference letter from the employer. With her Masters and age being on her side, she can still have good score with 1 year experience. Secondary school teacher noc 4031 qualifies.
NB: The occupation you choose has nothing to do with where you'll work when you land

Good day House,
- 1st source: of funds - I intend to sell a property to cover for 60%, what do I need to show here? The property does not have a CofO
- 2nd source: I intend to do a gift deed from a close family member to cover 10%
- 3rd source: I intend to use 25% of my pension account to cover about 15% of POF. Do I need to get pension statements or a letter from my PFA? should this be before or after I withdraw the said amount from mt Pension account?
- 4th source: I also intend to use funds from a mutual fund investment account, what do I need to show here?
- 5th source: I also intend to use funds from a mutual fund investment account of my WIFE, what do I need to show here?
Thanks
1 - You need to show sale evidence and asset evidence. Agreement, reciept and survey/plan could be useful
2 - Nothing to say
3 - You do not need to withdraw the money from the pension account, just get a reference letter from your PFA
4 - Investment certificate
5 - Investment certificate /evidence and consent letter from your wife

It is advisable to make a tabulation of all your source of funds. This should be the first page of your POF document.

Based on some analysis on immtracker and pple's input on Canadian visa forum. It takes about 6 weeks for ur file to get transferred. Mine too 7 weeks before it was transferred to LVO. I know of someone whose file took 3 months before transfer. So you are still on course. To when when your file has been transferred, your additional documents status will change to "we do not need additional documents"
I beg to differ with your last statement. My Additional Document status still says "We are reviewing the additional documents provided"

1. The family information form is compulsory only if your family information has changed. You can leave it out if there has been no change.

2. You need to fill the form. I chose black as my eye colour. And please don't forget to add the PPR letter and the Height and Eye colour form to your package before sending

Hello
I have an issue My P.A was refused visa to the UK in 2008, a visa later gotten by repackaging d application based on point cited in d refusal letter and not through an appeal.
How do we indicated this in our express entry application?
What is a CSE and how do we access schedule form A?
Thanks
When filling your application post-ITA you'll be asked the statutory questions. If you affirm that you / your spouse has been denied visa, then you will be sent a schedule form A to fill or if you forgot to mention it earlier, you can raise a CSE to make the correction. A schedule form A can then be sent to you. Because schedule form A comes as ADR for most people you can fill it upfront and add to your app.

I used my office address n I don't know why it's taking forever. Pls am I good to go with only the online copy or I still need the hard copy
Online copy is sufficient. The ECA ref number on the top-right corner of the report is all you need to enter the pool.
Post-ITA you may upload the softcopy under Education checklist.
