udomas:
Why not go by the document checklist mate?
don't you think I must have done that already? these questions arose from issues I noticed while following the checklist and providing requested information.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by Eilenora:
hello All,

I received an ITA for CEC and have the following questions:

1. Can you please confirm if the JD provided by my Organization in my reference letter suffices for the Financial Advisor NOC code 11102:

Consistently demonstrate empathy, kindness and take the time to understand circumstances, motivators and concerns in all interactions with colleagues and clients Communicate effectively to uncover client needs, deliver client centric advice, solutions and proactively resolve client concerns at first point of contact

Use your own advice capabilities, and those of the right partner in the RBC ecosystem to meet our client's entire suite of financial needs, both personal and business

Provide professional advice and education with an ability to address complex credit and investments, ensuring solutions recommended are appropriate for client needs and financial circumstances

Champion digital enablement by proactively educating our clients to self-serve, while leading with advice, serving through digital where possible and encouraging our clients to interact with us in their channel of choice.

Make good use of technology to connect with clients both virtually and face to face Implement effective contact and relationship building strategies, that accelerate new client acquisition and retention in your local community

Collaborate with market-leading professionals in financial planning, retirement planning, mortgages, and business banking experts to ensure clients receive customized and relevant expert advice

I have a bachelors in law, post grad in business management and certifications from Canadian Securities Institute.

My title was financial advisor in my EE profile but the reference letter shows "financial advisor intern" Hope this wont be a problem.

2. Do I need to include my CELPIP test results in my application or just the reference numbers will suffice, I noticed page 1 says we should, but under what category do I include it?

3. For work experience both within and outside Canada would just the reference letter suffice or do I need to include T4, pay stubs, NOA, etc.

4. I worked for 3 years as an entrepreneur back home, in my application for study permit when i came to Canada (my resume and SOP), I referenced my role as a managing partner of that company with a resumption date for January xxxx so didnt need to include typical documens for a business owner. However in my EE profile that has now been locked post ITA, the same title was maintained but the month was May Bleep. What month was I to reflect in my final submission to avoid misrepresentation/ADR? Do i need to write a letter of explanation explaining this or it may be overlooked?

5. Finally, to confirm, no documentation needed for anything mentioned under personal activities right?

Is there a CEC group I can join, whatssap, telegram etc? Please add me biko smiley

Many thanks for assisting with questions above. i am losing my mind here and wondering if to send a webform tackling these.
TravelRe: USA Employment-based Immigration (EB-1,EB-2,EB-3 Visa) by Eilenora: 11:58pm On Jul 21, 2025
Babbyad:
You are an Eb1 applicant in the first place. Why did you pick EB-2...……?
The EB-1A Visa has the most stringent requirements among all green card categories, making it difficult for many applicants to qualify. For example, you must be in the top percentile in different fields to qualify.

The EB-2 visa requirements are relatively lower than the EB-1, making it a more accessible option for more applicants. The EB-1 is reserved for individuals with the highest recognition and achievements in their fields.

Hello All,

I have an award, professional memberships, publications and reference letters. I incorporated a Company in USA for credibility. Also did a patent and have a sound business case. Got potential investment letters for AML business idea. Used an agent who has prepared a response to the FRE, but need a 2nd eye. Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated.

How does she go about being certified medically fit though?

Onaya:
What's the outcome of her TB test? Is it negative or positive? If it's the former, then she's got nothing to be worried about. But if the latter is the case, then she'd be expected to be certified medically fit for her application to be processed, as its processing would be halted until she's been fully treated. This is basically because TB is contagious, and untreated person would pose a serious health risk to Canadian citizens.

However, one can't be refused visa based on the fact that one is positive unless one doesn't go for treatment. That's my two cents.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 20 by Eilenora: 4:30am On Nov 23, 2021
please can you shed more light on the suspicion of TB. My sis has the same problem and also had to wait for 2 months for her result to come out, then was asked to go do another test last week. What should she expect next?
Onaya:
Thanks for your words of encouragement. What actually prompted the request for additional medical examinations was their suspicion that I might have a TB, following the result of my first chest x-ray. But I thank God it was negative. The review of my eligibility and background check have started since the second week of August. I really wonder what the heck they're still reviewing till now. Maybe my application has been classified under the complex category. Someone in the past on this thread also had a similar experience, as he had to wait for six solid months before getting a final decision on his application.

The silence is epic indeed! But God no go shame us las las.

Hello Guys,

Please I need advise on something o, is it normal for biometrics not to have reflected over a month after submitting an application? My sister did not do biometrics with her application as she already has valid biometrics since 2019 when she applied for visit visa through paper route. She submitted since Oct 16, the only update showing is that background check is in process. No eligibility, no biometrics, nothing. Another strange thing is that when she logs in it always say there is a new message but the only messages there are the confirmation of submission and transmission messages. We have sent webform alongside emails regarding update of her biometrics, no response. Or is it because the 1st one was a paper application? Never experienced this with my own application so am confused, what should she do
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Eilenora: 6:09am On Oct 04, 2021
No its a 2yrs programme but my passport expired within the 1st year. Validity of study permit is tied to expiration of passport date so had to file for an extension after getting a new passport. Same with kids since their applications are tied to mine. Also need to filer for an extension of work permit for hubby as well but was waiting for ours to come out 1st.

viviangogos:
Wow, congratulations to you and your family.
Just to confirm, the extension is for a second program right? Are you doing it in same school? Would it matter if one gets admitted in another province and extends their SP?

Can you help share documents submitted?
Thanks.

Update: Application for study permit extension for myself and kids successful. Processing time 37days. Permit now issued till 3 months after program completion

TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Eilenora: 12:05pm On Sep 05, 2021
After a successful visa application and 2 refusals for request for written authorization, 2nd being a day to hubby's flight, my husband finally made it in on the 2nd September, on his SOWP. Call to IRCC Canada about enquiries for written authorization (WA) told me that he needs it, a subsequent email followed up after the call. Enquiry email to all IRCC offices: Nairobi office corroborated what IRCC said, that SOWP holder needs a WA. What saved the day was a response from the London Office 7 hours to his flight that a SOWP holder does not require a WA or any other supporting documents from IRCC to come into Canada. See confusion from different branches of the same office!. Hubby immediately rushed to do covid test at 4pm (flight was 10pm)! Flashed the letter in their faces and was allowed to board. POE Canada was a breeze and no mention was made about the previous refusals. Just happy to all be reunited again after 9 months. All the best to those still waiting. God will come through speedily for you as well IJN
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Eilenora: 11:48am On Aug 26, 2021
please has IRCC requested an applicant here for additional medical information after an upfront medicals? What's that about? My Sis in law just received that email and am confused:

Dear Bleep


Your immigration medical examination result has been received and in order to complete the assessment additional information is required.



Please contact the office of your Panel Physician or any other Panel Physician approved by IRCC, who will need your IME number (indicated above) to access the instructions for the additional tests to be performed.



On the following link you will find a list of all the approved Panel Physicians that you may choose to complete your additional tests:

Pls guys does a SOWP holder require a written authorization to fly to Canada? Cos I just spoke to IRCC and they said yes he does and sent me a follow up email to that effect. We don buy ticket already o. Did anyone fly recently with a SOWP? Was an authorization required at the airport?[/quote]

TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Eilenora: 8:43pm On Aug 23, 2021
You need to do a proper application. I have done it and submitted, just wanted to be sure I was on the right track is why I asked. This number she is referring to is IRCC number, u cant get an extension for a permit by calling IRCC

Upeople:
Hmmm...just call immigration and ask for extension huh
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Eilenora: 5:10pm On Aug 23, 2021
Do you know anyone that extended theirs this way though? Cos it looks to me like a proper visa application where u have to show proof of funds all over again, file on cic portal, do medicals if yours has expired, etc

SoFaithly:
This process is straightforward; there is a number at the back of your Study permit letter, just call it and ask for extension. It is what can be demanded for via phone.

Study permit for my 6 yrs old, visitor record for my 2 years old.
SOWP holders dont need authorization letters.
Hubby is fully vaccinated.

queenG2020:
Hi Eilenora, Did you get a study permit for your kids at the port of entry, I found it on IRCC website that children are allowed to attend school with their visitor's visa as long as the parent lives in Canada. Secondly, can you please tell me if your spouse got an authorization letter to travel and is he fully vaccinated ?

Hello @Eilenora,
My inquiry is as regards travelling with your children.
1) did you tick yes that they would accompany you in the family form during your SP application. NOPE
2) if you ticked no, did you inform IRCC before your travel that you would be travelling with your kids that are US citizens? YES BUT NEVER GOT A RESPONSE SO TOOK THE CHANCE AND WENT WITH THEM WITHOUT HASSLE
3) did you do medicals for them since they would be spending the timeline would would be in Canada with you. NOPE
Thanks as I wait your feedback.
Congratulations on your husbands application success.

Thanks,
Any feedback from the MP on your email? I am following same process for my mum. I got this feedback:

Thank you for reaching out to the office of MP Pam Damoff. I reviewed your email below, and unfortunately MP’s and MP offices are strictly prohibited from interfering in any IRCC processes such as this one. Although as the MP’s office we cannot expedite any applications, we can certainly look for a status update. If you would like me to enquire for one please fill out this form (attached) and forward to me at your earliest convenience.

I think this image shows the fee paid for DHL (not VFS). The VFS fee would be paid in Sterling Bank or through bank transfer to a dedicated account - only if they didn't capture biometric in Abuja ab initio.

TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Eilenora: 6:10pm On Jul 29, 2021
See attached for VFS fee. Hubby submitted on Monday, he has received several notifications from VFS, and would most likely receive his passport back tomorrow. This is VFS fee. For DHL he paid like 14k or so for 2 way courier service

kife:
Hello Eilenora,
Will like to ask how I would submit passport to VFS now, please.

Just learnt no more in-person submissions.

So I just go to UPS and post passport to::


VFS 3rd Floor, Plot, Sterling Bank Plaza, 1083 Mohammadu Buhari Way, Central Business District 900211, Abuja, Nigeria

Can you please advise cost?
Do I have to pay for return as well?
Anyone has an idea the timeline for return?

Thanks in anticipation
