Plenty good news on the thread. Congratulations.
I have a bit of sad news. So my Canada application is put on hold at the moment due to family issues beyond my control. That's the much I can share. So I won't be submitting my PPR profile.

Don't know when I will resume or resubmit my profile. I will also take a break from answering questions. Am sure there are sufficient people to answer.

I really wish everyone a successful application.

Wow! I didn't see this coming...especially with the zeal and enthusiasm you've displayed in answering people's questions.

I'm short of words and can only pray that God will strengthen you and grant you peace on every side, Amen!

We're here for you when you're ready.

Beckyhopeful:
Medicals passed.Thank you Jesus!!!

Congratulations Beckyhopeful... keep hope alive.

Good morning everyone. I'm a new silent follower, trying to read up the 591 pages. We just got ITA 2 days ago from the last draw and theres still this grey area. I did a masters in the UK in 2009/2010 and was in and out the UK that year but definitely spent 6 months and was above 18years. Do I need a police report from the UK? If yes, any links on how to get one? Please I'll appreciate your inputs pleeasssse. Thanks guys

Hi - You definitely need a UK PCC.

Google NPCC - Acro Criminal Records Office...all the information you need is there. Easy Peasy.

crazyinlove:
Good morning all,

I want to apply for UK PCC and they are requesting for proof of current address. Was thinking if I can use my drivers license since it shows my full name and current address.

Please advice.

Thanks

Hi - to be on the safe side why not stick to these examples from their website: Proofs of address can be anything official that has reached you at your current address and bears your name. We accept copies of documents from ‘official bodies’ e.g. bank statements, letters from a GP, letters from a school or college, utility bills, phone bills etc. Ideally they should be for different months and one of the documents MUST be dated within the last six months.

The only concern I have with driver's licence is that it will not be dated within the last six months.

Hello evryone, Please i just got nominated for Ontario Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Who else got nominated and what are the next process?

Hi - follow the instructions on your NOI letter. In summary, the process begins by visiting the Ontario Immigrant Nominee program website (google it)...there is an application guide called "Ontario's Express Entrt Human Capital Priorities Stream"...download it and read. All you need to know is there...it's a step by step guide. After this, return with your tailored questions...

All the best!

DIPXOID:
Hello bro, I have been seeing this 1500 CAD all around here, what's it for? Is it a replacement for a poor IELTS result?

Don't "give" anyone $1500CAD for poor ielts o...this $1500 referred to here is the application fee for Ontario PNP...hian!

Stages in Canadian PR journey

1st the profile
2nd is ITA
3rd is AOR
4th medicals
5th background
6th ppr
7th COPR
8th landing
9th pr card
=======================

These are 3 different stages that majority of the PR applicants in EE will see against Background check in My CIC.

IP1
--------
IP1 will be shown when we pass the medical. Some people get this update on the same day along with their medical and some of them couple of days after. CIC agents will do R10, criminality checks during this stage. Once they feel everything is good then they will change it to NA. These things will happen at CIO Office (Centralized Intake Office)

NA
---------
This stage, our file will be transferred to CPC (Case processing Center) where agents will do eligibility assessments. If they feel everything is okay, then they will provide their recommendation to Visa Officer and same time they will initiate Security Checks.

IP2
--------
This status will be seen in my CIC account once Visa Officer starts reviewing or after reviewing all agents recommendations. On the same day PPR request will be triggered if the applicant paid RPRF upfront. These things will be done at CPC office.

It is not necessary that every applicant will undergo this process. But majority of the cases, I have noticed the same status

happymumtobe:
Please I need urgent help.

Aor March 31St
Medical passed June 1St.

Our background check has been on NA until I checked today and saw we are processing your background check so am hoping that is IP2.

If that is IP2 am also hoping ppr will be coming soon by God's grace

My issue now is that I am travelling to the US this weekend for the birth of our baby and won't be back to Nigeria until ending of August..my husband will also be in SA for work till first week in August.
I have read that time limit to send passport is 15days but we both won't be In the country.

If ppr comes this week or next can we both risk sending our passport from different countries hoping we get it back before we need it to leave where we are.

If that is too risky please what do you advise as I won't be able to send the passport till two months after the passport request.

Will definitely be back to share my ppr time line once we get it.

Gurus in the house please help.

@happymumtobe - I'm not a guru, but I will try to answer this.

I believe this is a situation change (even though it is a temporary one). You will have to notify IRCC of this change by filling the CSE form (the link is available on your AoR letter). Note that your AoR letter states that you should specifically let them know if your [b]mailing address [/b]changes. I'll suggest you do this asap after landing in USA this weekend because looking at your timeline + status change, I think you are very close to COPR...and I don't think it will be wise sending the CSE when they have already requested for your passport.

I just read on another forum that you MAY be able to ask IRCC for an extension for your passport submission.

Please hold on for others to chip in before you decide on what to do.

Wishing you a safe delivery

@Ehrnie This is the link i am using

http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

That's fine...ride on. Since it's just you then the answer should be 1...

studyexec:


Really?
I worked in a company and was promoted to a different job title (fairly higher position), but with same NOC. EE profile requires that I separate the jobs. My plan was to get 1 letter stating the different positions and timelines. With the above case, does that mean I have to get separate reference letters for each period?

I have read on canadavisa forum that you can get one letter for all the periods you worked in a company. I also read on CIC that your reference letter should include all positions held in the company and dates.

www cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/intake-complete.asp#document_checklist

".......The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
- should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
- [b]should indicate all positions held while employed at the company [/b]and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and


Seniors, please advise on the this issue.

Hi - I think the example is for a different scenario. Perhaps the applicant had worked for two different companies (under the same NOC) and was going to claim points for both...& then mistakenly uploaded one reference instead of two.

You are right - one letter will suffice for your own circumstance.

Bimpsy99:
I think it's the come to Canada tool the person is referring to.. Please put 1. Cos its just u. Family members include you.

Oh okay - it is one then.

ayxmania:


Thanks a lot... Errr your last statement spoilt it though, but it's all fine.

Awwww...apologies it came across that way. I just wanted to encourage people to self-research before asking.

mzjennypher:
Dear House, i tried using the eligibility tool to check my eligibility, the part where the number of family is asked am i to put the total numbers in my family even tho they r not going cos i am single and intend migrating alone.

Hi - are you using the CRS tool on the CIC website? If so, I don't see anywhere that asks for number of family members if you ticked "single" for your marital status. Anyways, family doesn't refer to the number of brothers or sisters you've got, but to spouse + children. I believe that's what that question means.

ayxmania:

Please for God's sake, what is meant by 'assessed for completeness upfront'?

So, every FSWP application submitted will be reviewed to determine if it meets the requirements of a complete application according to Section 10 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation. If it does not meet the requirement of this section, they will reject the application as incomplete and refund any fees paid.

From the CIC website - Your application package is complete when you have:
•answered all of the questions on the application form, and
•submitted all the necessary documents along with your application.

If you forget to send a document, your application may be returned to you, the processing of your application may be delayed, or your application may be refused.

Ehm - lets try to Google some of these basic questions before asking

arinola2:


Hi Blackbuddy,

Please could you share more detail on the what you mean by "meet the PNP requirements".

My understanding is after province nomination, you get 600 additional points and one will surely get ITA in the next draw (considering the recent trend in CRS points).

I thought post ITA is same either you got direct ITA (without province nomination) or you added points (+600) via province nomination to get ITA ?

Thanks.

You are very correct with all the information you've stated about PNP/ITA etc....

So, even though you have been invited for nomination by a province, it does not automatically guarantee you the 600 points. You still have to meet the requirements of that province to be eligible for the points. Ontario for example, have an Application Guide on their portal that states clearly all you need to submit to be eligible...I believe other provinces will have same too. Some of the supporting docs you have to submit include (but not limited to) - copy of NOI, passport, passport photograph, birth cert, degree certs, WES evaluation, language test results, settlement funds, work related docs etc... After submission, they then process your application and if you are found eligible, they award the 600 points via your CIC account...then you get ITA (when next there is a draw) and the process continues from there....

Hope this clarifies things...?

EBENEZERABAYOMI:
can one use land papers in place of money as PoF

Hi - See information from the CIC website These funds could be in the form of:
•cash,
•documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.), or
•documents that guarantee payment of a set amount of money, which are payable to you (such as bankers’ drafts, cheques, travellers’ cheques or money orders).


And from Canada Visa forum - This is totally acceptable by CIC and they appreciate that you may not have actually sold the property at the point you are required to supply this information and make allowances for this. You should then get your property valued by three independent companies. These can be real estate agents, property valuation companies, etc. Make sure you get the valuation on letter headed paper and signed. If you send both the mortgage details and the valuations then CIC can see how much equity you have available.

So, even though you MAY be able to use land papers + evaluation + LOE, it may be dicey.....so, let it be a final course of action, used only when all else has failed. My two cents

12go:

Does it mean a person migrating alone through the EE route needs to have 12164 CAD

Its $12,300 CAD actually....

Moatte:








Congrats .....Medicals passed on June 13 ...that's 63days post AOR. We are a family of 4. I tap into your speed...lol.....wat's IP1 and NA?

IP1 - Background Check in Progress 1
N/A - Background Check Not Application.

I read somewhere that the sequence is IP1-NA-IP2-Completed...then PPR will be really really close.

D1the1:


Please whats the address? I'm at DHL Office and the guy here has no clue which address to send it to!!!!!

Bros its better you take a chill pill here and make sure you get the right address before hurriedly sending your most important document to a wrong address. That would be disastrous.

Hopefully a learned Nairalander will answer this for you - I have no clue, just advise.

perks:

40manlappy:




The guy is a master "leg-puller"

I know and the way people are afraid of this FSWP ehn, they cant even read btw the lines....they think too deep about every every. Choi - this process aint for the faint hearted...

crazyinlove:

Ok, thanks. Though it was showing Evaluation In Progress before it changed to Evaluation report being prepared for delivery.

I think elfmann was just pulling your legs (and you fell for it ). Evaluation report being prepared for delivery is what it says it is... they have evaluated it and are now preparing it for delivery.

Anyways, see general WES status timeline below -

Waiting for Required Documents
Documents Received - Review in Progress
Evaluation in Progress
Evaluation Report Being Prepared for Delivery
Completed

It is well.

40manlappy:


Let's hope for positive movement by weekend.

@Ehrnie, I sight thee!

@40manlappy - I see you ..let's keep hope alive!

folamingo:
Medicals passed today - 64 days - AOR APR 11 - FSW-O....moving small small...God will perfect the rest of the process.

Congrats brov! We are together...nothing dey happen...

Zilifish:
Pls can i use a duplex that belongs to my parents but will be in my name as proof of funds? Will a valuation suffice?

I'll advise you avoid using this if you can even though CIC states that documents that show property [/b]is acceptable.

Canadavisa forum also confirms that: [b]This is totally acceptable by CIC and they appreciate that you may not have actually sold the property at the point you are required to supply this information. You should get your property valued by three independent companies. These can be real estate agents, property valuation companies, etc. Make sure you get the valuation on letter headed paper and signed. If you send the valuations then CIC can see how much equity you have available.

Again I say, let this be your last resort - a final course of action, used only when all else has failed.

Snrs - I stand to be corrected
