There was no DOB on statement of result. The date on the transcript that UI sent to WES Canada during the ECA process was correct, that was evident on my ECA report as it bears the correct DOB. So i guess the problem was during the printing of the Certificate.
If this is the case, an LOE would suffice

Good Day Seniors in the house, I need your advice....

My wife and I finished Masters from UI and we evaluated the Masters degree with WES which we later used in the Express Pool.

As at the time that we sent the transcript for WES evaluation, the Certificate was not ready, so we only uploaded the Notification of result on our WES portal.

Fastforward to some months later, the Certificate was released and we found out that there was mistake on the date of birth on the Certificate. They misplaced Day as Month & Month as Date.

Our Score in the Pool is in the 480s and we are hoping to receive ITA once the FSW draw resumes whereas University of Ibadan cannot effect the changes on time as they said they only print Certificate from abroad. The real date of birth is May 1, 1989 which can rewritten as 01/05/1989 or 05/01/1989(US style). But they wrote January 5, 1989 whereas my month of birth is May. Same Mistake was done for almost all my mate

Hope you saw where the mistake is?


Please what can we do incase we receive ITA soonest and we are to submit our application because the error is corrected?
Already responded on the other thread but see here
Just get an affidavit abi age declaration plus original birth certificate if you have. add an LOE explaining discrepancies. If the correct date was on the statement of result, that helps too. @saskatoonguy

Are the following allowed when travelling to Canada from Nigeria?

Fried meat
Groundnut oil
Dried fish
Why Are you planning to travel with groundnut oil? It can pour and mess up your luggage plus its not expensive as far as i know.
You should consult cic website for the meat and fish to be sure.

GraciousWords:
Start the formal process of asking for the correction of DOB on the certificate from UI - write them a letter.

If ITA comes before it is resolved, then provide IRCC with:

1.LOE explaining exactly what you have told us and info from UI that they are unable to correct it soon because certificates are printed offshore.

2.Letter from UI admitting the error on DOB.

3.Your letter to UI asking for the correction on DOB.

Was there a DOB on the statement of result? If yes and if correct, include this as evidence that the DOB error on certificate is from UI.
All of this might not be necessary because it might be time consuming plus extra cost, just get an affidavit abi age declaration plus original birth certificate if you have to add to the LOE explaining discrepancies. If the correct date was on the statement of result, that helps too. @saskatoonguy

The original result came out on 10 /3/2021. And I remarked and it was uploaded on 14/4 2021 while the refund email came on the 18/4/2021. So, are you saying I should use 14/4/2021 instead?
as ednut1 said... but 14th is ideal since you are unsure. if anything, an loe saying this "The original result came out on 10 /3/2021. And I remarked and it was uploaded on 14/4 2021" should work without any unnecessary explanation
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 10 by Dimple10: 1:58pm On Jul 15, 2021
but thats not the result date na. IELTS result usually comes out 14 days after the test for paper based and 5/7 days after for cbt unless you apply for remark so why are you giving june as result date for a test that was written in February, NOT GOOD.
Canadahome:
Some province ask for the result date.

Like in my case, Ontario asked for the result date. I intend to use 29/6/2021 which is actually 3days after I received NOI from them. Meanwhile, the exam was taken in February, 2021. I will just put LOE and attached an email showing that the result came out long before now.

My advise to him is to request for the hard copy now and don't wait.

This is not always the case. Mine has a new date. I contacted MOD they said its the date they print the result that will be on that space.
Mine had the original test date from MOD and date new result was printed on it.

If i'm not mistaken, i think what you need is actually the test date and not the result date.

Gurus in the house, I greet oooo.
Abeg make una help me. My employer has refused to issue me a reference letter (not just me buh everyone requesting reference letter for EE). What are my alternatives?
It has been said that you can get your colleague or supervisor to write you reference on plain paper, include their current contact details and sign it ( I hear you need to notarise, not sure if its necessary). They'll also give a copy of their work ID card showing their designation et al which you'll submit along with an LOE stating why/how you came about the reference. You can also include your employment letter and your work ID as backup. Basically anything that can prove you actually work there.

Ensure that the reference meets IRCC standard - ensure that the job description on your reference letter matches (1) the lead statement, (2) all the essential duties and (3) most of the main duties listed on your chosen NOC. **NOC mismatch is one of the most common reasons for rejected FSW applications.**

The bolded is more important.

LOE should cover the following points.
- State the reason why you cannot get a reference letter from employer, if you have any evidence to support you statement, please mention it and also attach it along with the letter.
- In absence of the letter, mention what proactive steps you have taken to prove your work experience.
- Mention the list of documents which you are submitting, in the absence of the reference letter.
- Request the Case Officer to consider your case in light of your situation and also in terms of the proactive steps taken by you to submit best alternative documentary evidence.

All the best! smiley

POF is ready but in the Naira account. Due to the Naira depletion and devaluation everyday, I know it is not economically safe to keep POF in Naira. Is it adviceable advisable to Open a DOM account now in order to move the money or is there any advice that can be given?
You can open a DOM account but know that you will still need to buy dollar at BDC rates to fund the account.

Mine was November 5th 2020, I call them every month and order gcms once in 3 months. Last time I called was last tuesday and they told me everything has been passed. Just waiting for an officer to finalize it. So I ordered another gcms note, my 3rd.
You’re lucky, i’ve not been able to speak to an agent. Either all our agents are busy or the call just hangs up while i’m waiting to speak.

Which VO?

Maybe order gcms notes at this point then find out your VO. My aor was 1st dec 2020, VO accra there’s been some movement From what i can see as i’ve done biometrics and my background has changed 2x (IP2) plus my medicals passed disappeared last month too. I’ve ordered gcms to see whats going on

AOR - acknowledgement of receipt. after you submit your application and it is received, you get aor.

Adding spouse after AOR means your points are not recalculated. In my case, crs was 471, getting married and adding spouse before AOR would have reduced my points drastically as oga was not ready to do IELTS and ECA so we jejely waited to wed later later (other personal factors were considered too).
Note that you can only add spouse post AOR when you get married after receiving AOR.

Good morning all,
Please I need information about ordering GCMS notes, is it better to order for the note thorough a Citizen/ PR in Canada or through a 3rd party organisation. Also, which is faster?
use getgcms.com ...all the sites i've seen for ordering gcms state that it takes about 35 to 40 days to receive.

Yes it is. just email them requesting for a statement and reference letter. the letter follows ircc format. Statement request however will be given from the date they access the syste. so say you want to get 6month statement from January to july 6th and they open their portal on the 12th, they will print from that 12th and not 6th as requested.

no idea on the NOC...for POF, whatever you put in the account, just make sure it's in line with the requirements.
If you put 17k CAD, it covers both single and coupls so you're good. just make sure your statement shows the minimum requirements plus extra incase of exchange rate fluctuations that might happen between time of submission and updating spouse info.

My fellow future canadians.
To update this new POF na die..
As everywhere is harrrddd!
The reason I am writing this
Is because I learnt there might be a draw this month.
With my CRS score I might likely get an invitation.
What are the other fees to be paid post ITA..
Are we paying for Visa fee and if yes how much please? 825 for visa fee, 85 for biometrics, 500 rfpf = 1410 CAD (equivalent of almost 550k i paid last month)
What of police certificate how much is that? N4500 - N10,000 depending on bargaining power.
I need to plan for it financially so as not to be stranded... Medicals 40k with qlife, 45k i think with IOM then maybe fees for sending passport when time reach.

You can't edit anything after receiving and accepting ITA and I do not think this updated POF will affect those that have already accepted their ITA
Wrong!!! POF is locked only post AOR. This person has not submitted so they would need to have POF inline with the requirements if they submit after July 15.

Regarding updating profile, you can't change anything, however, you can input the correct figures when completing the forms before submitting. cc @Queenmaker

Obviously I’m only guessing and making possible/ logical conclusions. I don’t work at IRCC, don’t bite me please. You are probably right and they are updating proof of funds for a program they don’t intend to ever recommence �
Yes they do that every year at the start of the year (Jan) however they didn’t do so this year January cos they had no intention of doing FSW draws cos of Covid. They just updated it this month clearly because they intend to recommence.

The bolded part of your statement is where the assumption comes in. how sure are you that POF wasn't increased for the said reason?

GraciousWords:
I am open to being corrected.....but....from what I understand:

Nothing is locked at ITA.....except age...... and IRCC had to write a special policy for that.

ITA means they invited you to apply.
AOR means you have actually applied/submitted your application.

At AOR stuff still needs to be valid, including IELTS, ECA, POF etc.......
