Thanks Ehrnie, so reference letter from my current employment of 4yrs + would suffice while I of course give details of any previous employment in the personal history section (back by LOE of course)?

Absolutely correct! I don't think you need a LOE for your previous employment since you are not claiming points for them. Just list the ones you aren't claiming points for under your personal history, shikena.

All the best!

Hello Gurus,

What is the highest number of years of experience required to max the points for work experience? I asked this question because I intend to provide Reference letter for only my Current place of work which I have been since 2012. This is to avoid the stress of chasing after my previous employer for required reference letter and other documents.

your candid opinion with be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

....3 years or more of work experience. The "more" will not give you any extra points.

ugoiyke79e:




yea it just vanished. It used to be just below my own document checklist before that of my spouse. Now i cant find it anywhere on d entire page. I have signed out and in severally.....I am at a loss on what else to do.

Don't panic...you sound like you are, lol. Worst case scenario, you attach it to the relevant document and scan both the LOE + document as a single file.

Lets know if you get this sorted.

ugoiyke79e:
Hello everyone.

@ehrnie good morning please help with my question from yesterday I mentioned you thanksm

Q1 - Yes. you only need reference letter for the jobs you are claiming CRS points for. Yes, include your present job in personal details
Q2 - For self -employment, the applicant must submit articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
Q3 - I am not sure about you uploading your diploma degrees as they weren't evaluated...but I know for sure that you should upload you degree certs + IELTS result report + WES evaluation report. I hope someone else picks this aspect of your enquiry and gives you the best answer.

All the best!

optionese:


Please a follow up question to this .Am not yet in the ITA but I saw someone form and these questions struck me
So the form says reference letter from your previous and current employer. My NOC for the application is for my prvious job between 2007-2012 . So the only reference I need is from this job and not my current employer right and include my present job in my personal details


Then for someone who is self employed what proof of employment woukd he submit- certificate of incopration ,tax returns , company bank statement . Is there any other thing?

Then for certificates I have a diploma and degree certificate . I only evaluated my degree , is that the only certificate and my eca/ielts I would upload or I have to upload my diploma ( I only have a statement of result)

Q1 - Yes. you only need reference letter for the jobs you are claiming CRS points for. Yes, include your present job in personal details
Q2 - For self -employment, the applicant must submit articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
Q3 - I am not sure about you uploading your diploma degrees as they weren't evaluated...but I know for sure that you should upload you degree certs + IELTS result report + WES evaluation report. I hope someone else picks this aspect of your enquiry and gives you the best answer.

All the best!

Please can anyone in the house assist me with ielts and gre materials. Here's my email address- enitanola91@gmail.com.Thanks

IELTS Material -

Google IELTS Liz and IELTS Buddy...these materials will help with your study in addition to the British Council materials on their webpage. For the speaking test, you can go on YouTube and check examples...

I'm not familiar with GRE...hopefully someone else will be able to answer this.

All the best!

samnijazz:
Thank you for the above message. I have a case at hand. My bank GTB claimed that they cannot give me a Reference letter because the account is a savings not a current account. They claimed they can only give me a Statement of Account with stamps. Will teh SOA only be sufficient for the application?
Please i need your prompt reply, Thank you

Hi -

You should request a "signature confirmation" letter from GTBank...this will suffice in addition to your 6 months statement of account.

All the best!

Issydebo:
Appreciate if anyone can provide guidance: With respect to uploading passport data page post ITA, is the requirement just the passport data page or do I have to include pages with visa, stamps and markings? And also, do I have to do this for all my passport (have 3 expired passport with visas and stamps on them too).

thanks all. Great work by everyone based on the logistics!!

hi -

The instruction icon on next to the upload button states that you must provide a copy of the page that shows your birth date, and the country of origin AND any pages with stamps, visas and markings.

To be on the safe side, I'd advise you do this for all your passports (to avoid any delays in them asking for further documents)...that's what I did in my case. It shouldn't be a hassle even if you are a frequent traveller, lol....a few minutes at the scanner or printer wouldn't hurt.

All the best!

How do u merge three separate jpeg files into one?

Google PDF merger or small pdf dot com

omesanni:


Is it compulsory that we merge into one single document. Can we upload them one file at a time?If i upload it one file at a time will that be a problem?

Yes it will be a problem because you have just one upload under that section. So, you have to merge all the related documents into a single file.

temitope06:


Did same as in include transcripts or you didn't include?

You don't have to include your university transcripts. All you need to upload (as a single merged document) is your MSc + BSc + IELTS result + WES evaluation report.

All the best!

My People Post ITA,

How is NYSC period treated;

1. Work history or Personal history?
2. employment, educational activity or government?

your advice would be highly appreciated.

NYSC is treated as employment and sits under personal history if and only if you are not claiming employment points for the time spent doing the NYSC. However, if you are claiming employment points for NYSC, then you have to move it to work history and please note that you will be required to provide a reference letter from your employer.

All the best!

Demo213:

Both actually.

You get an email that your CIC account have been updated and when you log in to CIC you will see your medical status change to "you pass the medical exam" could be a different wording but....you get the point.

Yea I do...thanks for the response.

Spatz81:



Can you pay using for instance GTbank Dollar MasterCard?

What happens if you do not pay within two hours? shocked

Like any normal payment portal, it'll probably return you to your application page (I'm not sure for certain). To avoid any hassle, maybe you should only proceed to the payment portal when you are ready to make payment.

I don't know anything about the GT MasterCard. Sorry can't answer that.

Demo213:
Hello Guys,

OK, my AOR was Feb 15th and I got Medical pass March 24th.
Apparently the volume of applications have increased and as a result things seems to have slowed down a little bit.

There are even many Feb applicant that are yet to get any update at all.

I know some march applicants already got medical passed but very few, so if you haven't don't bother, it will come in due time.

I think we just have to wait patiently... (....yeah! I know. The waiting is nearly unbearable! But what choice do we have ?)

Hi -

Can you kindly explain what "medical pass" is? Do you get an email via your CIC account that you've passed your medicals, or is this just an upload onto your CIC account?

Spatz81:
Gurus in the house.

I understand that NYSC Service year causes some sorta confusion and could complicate your application. Where is it best explained... Work history or personal History or is it best not spoken about at all?

What would you advice?


I would appreciate swift response house.

Rgds.

NYSC is employment and falls under personal history, if and only if you aren't claiming points for it. If you are claiming points (& you are sure you can get reference letter from your employer) then it should be under your work history.

All the best!

Babachi:

Yes it is the Aor

Thanks!

Good day All,

Please where do I find the checklist of documents and where do I attach, I cant seem to find this when I login, Checklist was only mentioned in ITA letter, required documents were not listed.

Hi -

Once all you forms are completed, a personalised checklist is generated. As mentioned earlier, personalized checklist is dynamic and some of the entries in the list change based on the information that you have provided in the previous sections of e-APR e.g work experience letters. When you have gathered all documents that were requested in your Personalized Checklist, you should upload them using the "upload file" tab in your Document checklist page. Note that document upload section comes towards the end of the e-APR submission process and allows for only 1 file to be uploaded for each section. So if you have multiple documents that pertain to the same section, then you should scan and merge your documents into 1 file.

Once you have uploaded all requested documents, the system will take you to pages related to Declaration, Disclosure and Electronic signature. "Agree" to the Declaration, Disclosure and Electronic signature pages and you will see a table with summary of fees that you need to pay for your e-APR. You have two hours to complete the payment. You can pay your fees using Visa, American Express or Mastercard credit card.

All the best!

Yet to get an update as well. Try sending a case specific enquiry if it's past your processing time.
Anybody here post ITA who has gotten updates?

Apologies I bumped into your conversation.

I got a letter through my CIC account immediately I submitted my eApr. The letter was "This letter confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada was received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through your account on XXXXX. We created a file for your application. The application number is located in the upper right-hand corner of this
letter. You must quote this application number each time you contact us. We are reviewing your application to determine if it meets the requirements of a complete application according to........

Question - Is this the same as AOR? Or should I be expecting another AOR letter? Kindly clarify.

What date was your AOR?

Great! You both aced your IELTS....

Try to shrink an already shrunken one using another app.

Will try that too...thanks!

Try pdfcompressor.com

Thanks! I will try this...hopefully it works.

Beem4cupid:
Try ilovepdf.com

Thanks for your response. I used this before asking for help, but it's still too large lol. Any other suggestions?

What if all the PoF cannot fit?

Hi All -

I am trying to compress/shrink/reduce my PoF. I have used the "smallpdf" website, but still the size is too large to upload into my eAPR. Any other suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Topmag:
please house, Is having 2years and 6 months experience on a Job equivalent to 3years or remains 2 years, started September 2014 .thanks

It is exactly what it is - 2 years and 6 months.

I'd advise you wait 6 more months until you accumulate the required 3 years . You can use this wait time to study for your IELTS...and probably write the exam.

All the best!

floyo001:


Thanks...
Apologies if by asking this, I'm taking us back or increasing the thread 'unnecessarily'
I want to confirm if my assumption is right. Here...

The POF, Police Report, Letter from employer, medicals will not be required until after one receives an ITA.
In other words, do I need the above docs before entering the pool?

Will appreciate your usual timely response.

No. you don't need the above documents before entering the pool.

All the best!

Hello people... Please i need help o... How do i merge all d scanned document so i can upload eg how do i merge my scanned biodata page plus visas and stamps on my passport as i can only upload once... Wat app can i use

Hi - Google smallpdf.com and use it to merge your documents

Gquest:


Got from the last draw...468.
Any idea if PCC can be done on a Saturday? I av a savings account and was told I can't get the CIC required letter from the bank. How did you sort that out?

Congratulations!

Not sure about PCC / Saturday. Hopefully someone will pick this up and give you an appropriate answer.

I have a savings account too so I got a "confirmation of account details" letter from GTbank and I believe that will suffice. Also, I read on this thread that you can request for a signature confirmation letter, which will outline your account details. I presume that's the best you can get from these banks really.

All the best!

Gquest:


I get jare

Wassup, ITA already?

yeah - with CRS 451. Got it about 46 days ago - but yet to submit. Will do soon...

You?
