POINTS TO NOTE
Please before submitting your application READ! READ!! READ!!!. While we were waiting for ICES I spent time going through nairaland thread, searching for answers online. There was really nothing peculiar about our application but I needed to be sure we had crossed all the ts. Some of the questions I had:
1. Using renmoney as POF. I have read a good number of PPR scripts and only found one person who used it, I tried contacting the moniker but got no response. Renmoney has one clause on their certificate that says “We can choose to approve or decline a liquidation request” I was really worried about it even though they always approve all liquidation requests. If you are in these shoes, you can request for a Letter of reference that says you have access to the funds in your account anytime. I had gotten a reference letter without this statement and requested they added that line to the reference letter, my relationship officer said he wasn’t sure they could add that line to my letter. He eventually came through with the letter but this was a day after we submitted. Well turns out it is not an issue but give yourself peace of mind by getting that letter.
2. We claimed points for only one role in PA’s previous workplace even though PA had 2 roles with different NOCs at the same company. We added the second role to personal history. The letter of reference had both roles.
Ladies and gentlemen, before submitting your application, make sure you spend time gathering info, ANY DOUBT you have before submitting is VALID. I’ve seen people asking questions about doubts they had after submitting their application. Don’t be like them oo. Ask all your questions now, google as well.


->Take screenshots of your application before submitting in case of an ADR.
->Please make sure your scanned documents are clear, people get rejected for illegibility.
->Create folders for every placeholder on your laptop and drop the necessary documents, this will help you mirror your application and also help you avoid silly mistakes like uploading a document in the wrong placeholder(please don’t be lazy about this).
->Take a day or 2 to compare the information on your documents with the information you filled especially the dates*. I know somebody that found a mistake with the dates on her reference after submitting.
->After receiving documents like ECA, IELTS, POF statements, Police report etc please check check check for mistakes before leaving the location if possible.
->Keep your application simple, if you must add unnecessary documents please add to Client information section.

After submitting, pleasssseeeee leave your application to God, stop looking for wetin no loss, Let Go and Let God. I see people going back to their application to give themselves a headache asking questions they should have asked before or questions they have already asked. No follow them oo that’s why I suggested using at least 2 days to check and recheck your application, I know it’s not easy but stressing yourself over things you can’t change isn’t worth it, trust me!.


Special thanks to @topsmamen & co for answering all my questions and to the nairaland community. I wish everyone all the best in their various stages.

Stencil:
It is important to show that you were paid for the job. Please check the CIC website for reference.
If you can get them to edit the letter and include this information then please do so.
If not, include your employment letter that shows this information.
You can also include and highlight salary deposits in your bank statement to further solidify your claim.

And its PPR...................
After exactly 13 months of harrowing wait. The PPR is here...
I will be back to tell the story ...


For those who have any doubts about Pension used as POF. Pension is accepted, I used my Pension for 100% POF for family of 6

December30:
Dear all,

Please i need clarifications on this. Is reference letter only from my previous place of work okay as I do not have employment letter or payslips to show but deposits in my bank account? I intend to use my employment letter from my new place of work with payslips and reference letter (PS: I joined my new place of work in may). Your response will be appreciated. Thank you.

ladymarshall:
In other words, your JD fits about 50% of the NOC. I don't think it's a good percentage. Perhaps you can find another NOC that is a better fit? NOC issues are sensitive. It's best to ensure all or 95% of your duties are covered by that NOC, to be safe. You don't want to give the VO a reason to question your eligibility.

Lawrehrermi:
Okay sir .

But can she do gift deed to me ?

ednut1:
carry Go. No issue

December30:
Dear All,

please i would like to know if my JD must reflect everything stated in my NOC. My NOC is 1241 and my JD only fits 7 out of the 13 duties expected. Please should I be concerned about this? I will appreciate your response. thank you

Vicolak:
May Canada favour you and yours.

Lawrehrermi:
Thanks for the response Mr . December 30 .

The reason why that might not be possible is because that 95% of POF is also just hitting my spouse's account from different sources this week.

What's is the best way out pls ?

Vicolak:
Congrats

Lawrehrermi:
Good morning great people of Nairaland .

Please I have two quick questions please .

1a) I am the P.A . Can my spouse transfer 95% of the POF to me a day before submission (e-aor) ?

If yes , Do we need to write LOE ? If yes , what are we to write exactly ?

1b) Does CIC call the bank and ask them how much ur balance is at a particular period to verify ur balance post AOR ?


2) Does CIC call/email ur boss who signed ur reference letter & put his official email address on the ref letter or they will send an email to the company email that is on the letterhead ?

Thank u as u answer my questions .

princesschuks:
Yes I created a profile with a 6.5 in writing and a 7.5 in listening. I guess it should be something else

Iamtosin:
I also wrote on the 19th but yet to hear any feedback from them and some guys that we wrote together too haven't heard anything
