proof of funds can be an account with any bank or financial institution. Some have used pension and mutual funds. Can't say for CRypto and tbh i wouldn't risk it.

Abercrome:
Regarding POF, has anyone used their crypto wallet such as NEXO wallet? Or does it have to be a Nigerian dom account?

waiting patiently...goodluck and don' be discouraged no matter what?

Abercrome:
Boss, it’s 2pm they release it from what I heard. I’ve been refreshing my email and dashboard

Bibitayo2:
Please when setting aside the POF, is it ideal to use the official rate or the black market rate?

Official rate is used for submission however your funds can devalue overtime in Naira so what the other person said.

Abercrome:

Hello House, please I need advise my friend in Canada agreed that I should claim him as a family member to earn more point, I just want to ask for ideas how I can proof it to the immigration. What documents would I need.

Thanks

Godtemi:
Please guys had any traveled to Canada through Benin or Ghana recently, I heard it's cheaper compare to Nigeria.

Please I do need help with is information, as I am planning to book a flight for 3 week of September.

This price thing is recent ie since last week. You may not find anyone that has used the option of Accra and Benin. If you do eventually use it, kindly let me know because i’m considering it for the future assuming these guys release this thing this week

I had a dream that i got PPR...it felt real...


speaking it into existence this week...


Have a great week people.

One year continuous experience. so means at least one of them must be up to 12 months, the rest can be cut and join.

Izen:
Hello everyone. I need some advice please.

I'm about to enter the express entry pool but I'm concerned about how to categorize my foreign work experience.

According to the immigration website, I must have continuous experience in only one occupation. This is where it gets tricky. I have a total of 5 years full-time work experience but I transitioned to tech last year and have less than one year experience in tech. My current occupation is classified as NOC A but my previous experience as NOC 0/B depending on how you view it. For now I'm using my previous experience but I'm in tech fully now and have no plans to go back.

Please if you have faced a similar challenge, let me know how you went about it. How were you able to maximize your points? Thanks!

leave baby for who? i assume the mother is landing so why leave baby behind?

I think baby should go in my opinion. Find a telegram/whatsapp group for your proposed province, reach out/explain your situation and people will assist where they can to make your landing/settling in easier .

stacey1994:
Please quick question....does anyone know people that have done partial family first landing....i.e to not go completely as a family on first landing trip

we plan to land as a family of 4 and not 5 and leave the baby behind because it is our first time to canada and the logistics of managing a baby...feeding and all will be stressful.

Has anyone heard of such partial landing and does it cause issues at the point if entry

i'm not sure tbh. Just endeavour to put that job + any you're not claiming points for) in personal history.

Msticks:
Please i have a question.

I applied for a tourist visa to canada from germany (i currently live here), and there, i put that i am a software engineer (one of my many hustles)
I also have an express entry profile for NOC 0711 (construction managers) I have experience in this field before i left nigeria, and i am still actively involved even from abroad because it is a family company.

Will my declaration of software engineer as occupation in my tourist visa application affect my express entry application for NOC 0711 (construction project manager) ? What is the way forward? I already got an invitation to apply for NoC 0711 under SINP, and i plan to claim the years of experience to also include my remote working as construction project manager.

Marike2:
Hello everyone
I would appreciate responses to the following questions;
1) Is SYEL IMMIGRATION, a Canadian consultancy firm legit or scam?. They are charging 1,500CAD service fees for job offer, CV rewriting and visa.

2) Does Canada visa sponsorship jobs include the dependants/family? OR only the applicant?

Thank you

Good day,

I updated my EE profile yesterday, which was successfully done.

But I did not receive an automatic message from IRCC in the email I registered my account with, telling me that I have updated my profile.

What is likely to cause it guys?

you need to transmit those updates. Go back and check.

MissZenith:
Please, in a situation where an immediate supervisor is signing a reference letter instead of head of Human Resources, are there other documents that should be attached to back up the supervisor's signature? If yes, what are they?


Answer please

they should include their own contact info (phone number/company email) in the letter. possibly their id card.

nothing else

Someone already responded few posts back

MissZenith:
.

Someone already responded few posts back. include the online role under personal history since you are not claiming points for it and no the income doesn't raise any issue for concern.

wole001:
Please got an invite to submit my application for SINP. I am gathering my reference letters, please i need to know how to address SINP in my letters

to whom it may concern works just fine

stacey1994:
please a quick question....we received the PPR letter and it mentions something there about not submitting your passport if it is a US passport and just photocopies

My baby Currently only has a US passport as her Nigerian passport is not ready. I used her US passport to add her to my application Has anyone ever been in this situation?

Should I submit her US passport because I am wondering what document she will use to enter into canada with us now?

submit photocopy as requested. thats how it works

it's okay for things to sort of overlap in personal history. also feel free to explain further in an LOE for peace of mind. I don't remember because its been a long time but if you do this and try to submit but still get a prompt preventing submission then go back and adjust date.

Dennyjuff:
People of God please i’m back for ur advise.

pre-ita i had mentioned i started my new employment in march 2021 till date.

Post - ita, in my personal history,i have mentioned dt i was a makeup artist from 2018 (it’s my brand)… i don’t know if i can say 2018 till date … (am i allowed to have a side hustle? as makeup jobs are mostly on weeekends) and my 9-5 job is monday to friday.

Enddystar:
Plenty questions in 1. Please pardon me.

Firstly, can I go for police clearance and medicals before submitting my application?

Secondly, can husband and wife do Police clearance/medicals upfront even if only one of them is applying now? Since the secondary applicant will still need them to apply later

Thirdly, how much is police clearance currently? I will also appreciate a contact at the office.

Thank you

you can send a copy via webform if not you'll most probably get an ADR for it if the old one is expired

articulate3145:
I have a question

Do I have to notify IRCC after renewal of passport post ITA?

Your kind response is appreciated

it's hard to say but usual practice is between 1-2months after AOR

ehiremen2002:
Does request for biometric take so long after Acknowledgment of receipt ?

Yes...as long as PA enters first, accompanying can follow anytime before copr expiration

Godtemi:
Please guys, is it possible the principal applicant to enter a day before the accompanying spouse?

Principal applicant want to enter Canada from Nigeria on Tuesday.

Accompanying spouse coming from Netherlands on Thursday

Wow!!! what an interesting Journey


congratulations to you and yours

Hello Friends,

Urielbam:
Do I print out and hand fill?

congratulations queen

Queenmaker:
It's PPR!
Finally!
Testimony time, overcomers time!
Timeline below:


To all who desire this joy I feel, you'll get it and much more!

God be praised!

I think both passports need to go to the same VO so definitely send together even if it requires you posting to the PA's location

mzdeea:
Hello Everyone,
Pls I need clarification in regards to sending our passports to VAC. My spouse and I live in different countries, can we send our passports differently to the nearest VAC close to our locations or we have to submit it together to the same VAC? He is the primary applicant.
Thanks.

happened to me and many others alike. medicals was done 18th march and passed 28th May. it can take a while or take no time at all. IRCC is unpredictable. just keep resending and make sure to upload in the required placeholder if any

stacey1994:
really a test of faith indeed.

please has anyone ever experienced delays with update of medical results? Added a newborn and did upfront medical results which they asked us to scan and upload. I called IRCC and they confirmed they received the medical results over 3 weeks ago....I am suprised it is taking so long for them to update the profile with the results

has anyone ever experienced such

does anyone have a sure plug for urgent transcript processing at Michael Okpara University?

asking for a friend

actually he can switch to unaccompanying and state that they are in process of separation/divorce as reason pending when divorce or separation documents are tendered. that way it will be on record that this was his intent instead of the rubbish stunt he pulled.

blittech:
With logical reasoning, his application is his right but with IRCC, its not that straight-forward.
he apparently declared that he was married & is gonna be accompanied hence PPR was issued to both parties.
If he declared he was married and unaccompanied then he needs to give IRCC a tangible reason he is not coming with his family.Even at that, the applicant and unaccompanying family will still have to do everything (biometric, medical,POF, remedical if required and police report).
The only way he can leave her out is if they are divorced and he has the documents to show for it or if he lies to IRCC that he is single which will amount to misrepresentation.

there's nothing here an LOE cannot fix, pls don't decline anything o

Dennyjuff:
Hello people i’m in a bit of a dilemma and i need the advice of seniors…
my job were i worked in 2013-2015 (i was paid in cash.. i have a salary certificate to that effect .. i know it’s not necessary but i can provide photos of me from years ago wearing the company shirt at the time) .. i also have my employment letter and reference letter from my former Boss.

Now the problem is, i just saw in my marriage certificate dated 2014, in the space asked for Rank or profession, i erroneously filled in “Engineering” because that’s what i studied. i thought that’s what they meant. i have no idea how to explain this. Should i decline ITA? or is there a way out of this.

When i add the 2013-2015 work experience,y CRS is 539 and when i use my current work experience which is 1yr 6 months i’m on 514.
Should i decline and wait for when i’m called at 514? please advice.
