Wow, okay now it's clear to me. No wonder addition of spouse at this stage delays the application one kind. Anyways na progress.

Did u have Medicals passed after first request? This is what I am expecting because I am now 40days+ post AOR.

Thanks.

Yes, i think addition of spouse somewhat delays the process. My medical got passed after 34 days (March 6), AOR was on Jan. 31, i noticed those who submitted on the same day and in my stream passed in 29 /30 days (march 1/2). My first request letter was on March 1. I think the new trend in the last 1 month is that it is taking longer for medicals to be passed.

Bros how u dey, omo i followed ur footsteps and so far it's working, thanks a lot but........

Cic replied me today with a request letter and uploaded placeholders for spouse passport, medicals and rpf receipt... (they didn't send me payment link but I know it sef).

Obobs the problem is that they didn't ask for updated POF for family of 2 or spousal pcc or even wedding photos. I am confused on how to add this documents, should I send those ones they need and then raise another Cse or cpc Ottawa email afterwards to send remaining files? Wetin u REASON? I dey fear do oversabi and merge files that don't relate.

Lately, i had sent my marriage certificate in the initial cse and email to cpc Ottawa, do I need to send to them AGAIN?

ok, you can send d pof via cse if you want. I got 4 different request letters last month on these dates.( March 1, March 7, March 20, March 21). I got d request for (POF of 2) on March 20. and on March 21 request for pixes of build up of relationship to marriage day and other forms. It is very likely the request will come stepwisely.

she looks weightier than 10lbs.(4.5kg)

1kg is roughly 2.2lbs

Please my people. I don't know who gave this Ma guy weed. He has been dancing to the sound of generator from the next compound since 7pm. He doesn't seem like stopping anytime soon and those guys like leaving Dia Gen till dawn

As to the bold, that is some good news. Something to keep him dancing till dawn. You will be watching a life till dawn show for free.

studyexec:
Hi, please are you saying that medicals cost $28,050 per person?

Haba ! ok 28,050 naira

esosa4real:
Thanks got the pcc sorted out. Pls how much did the Children consultant Hospital bill your spouse for medicals?

$28,050

esosa4real:
Hallos, the time has come ooh,
I am in naija now for my court wedding. I was thinking, can my spouse do the medicals and pcc before marriage which is on the 8th of april? She is on leave now so was considering that or is it compulsory to go with the cic request letter for her medicals??


What do you think.

Ok, great ! It is ok if she conduct the medicals and pcc now. The children consultant hospital, ikoyi never asked for request letter in my case . Congrats in advance, Take great pictures with loved ones on d-day. If you've got pre wedding pictures at cool places, get them handy, and also post wedding pictures. you most likely will be asked for it. I was told to upload such pictures last week.

Eruditor:
If he combined results what school did he take the 2nd senior secondary school cert exams? Shouldn't it be in his CV too? If it is, then when did he take it because the year of his graduation from Secondary school to University seemed seamless yet it should not be.

You are right about the boldened part. Taking in to cognisance that 95/96 session, university students were all at home due to a an ASUU strike for over a session. He claimed to have graduated in 97/98session i think.

Every thing there is within 100 k

Oh nice!! I am about doing same. I submitted app on March 2nd. I plan to get married by first week of April and wanna know how you informed CIC. Was it by CSE link? I hear that it takes up to a month before they reply that link, I don't know how true.

I guess when you say request letter, you mean you wrote a letter just like LOE to address your marital status right??

And again, how long did it take before they replied you!!

Lastly, did ur wife do all dem medicals and pcc after the wedding or before?

I just wanna be practive with the process and will be glad to hear from you in detail if you can.

Godbless.

ok.
I raised a CSE to inform IRCC of change of marital status on Feb. 11, i didn't get any reply after 10 business days. So on March 1st, i sent the same details to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca, less than 2 hours after i had sent the mail, i got a mail to check my cic account. In my cic account was a letter sent by ircc asking me to update my spouse medical, pcc and passport (cic request letter). 3 new placeholders were also added on my cic account.

I am a bit confused which of the 2 actions(cse on feb. 11 or mail to cpc on mar. 1) made me get the response on March 1.

A day after the request letter from cic, My wife conducted her medicals and received her PCC on March 2. On March 3, i upoaded all the 3 requirements.

A link was sent where i could pay for her application fee, so i paid on March 4. March 6 , My medicals changed to pass

March 7. Further documents requested by IRCC for: (1)Schedule A -Background/declaration for my nysc period (i guess this was because i filled my nysc under personal history as government) . I would advise others yet to submit e APR to fill nysc as employment under personal history.
(2) schedule A for my wife. (3) travel history for my wife

March 8 - I filled and sent all d stuffs requested.
I hope this will help you

Hello all,

Have a small question which I'm sure was answered some time back but can't remember clearly.
So I've got ITA for a few months now and I'm billed to marry in a months time. Was wondering if I submit my application before d marriage and subsequently update my profile,would it affect my application and would my spouse be included if am granted PR. Hv been weighing up whether to reject d offer a 2nd time or try my luck!
Gurus in d house shld pls help out !!!

I am going through the process, i dont think it is needed for you to reject your ITA.

I submitted my app on Jan 31, sealed union with my wife feb. 10, and i informed ircc thereafter using a valid marriage certificate and pictures if possible. On March 1, i got a request letter to update my spouse passport, medicals, and PCC. and a link was sent to me for which i can pay her application fee, i uploaded all those details on March 3. and i noticed a column with her name was updated on my account yesterday. My medicals got passed today. I am observing the trend sha. I learnt it can be done, and i am exploring the option.

Congrats vcole , PPR fully loaded!!!

Hello Emiye,

Are you saying a statement of result (letter of attestation) from the university will be accepted for ECA in lieu of the certificate itself if it is not ready?

Please clarify this for me.

Russ

I used a Notification of result to apply with WES, since my certificate was not processed as at the time i applied for ECA.

Hello House,

I would like to thank @vcole @dupyshoo and other members that offered advice especially concerning my IELTS test i took on 29th October 2016. After EOR which took exactly 10 weeks, my scores increased by a band.

Former Scores: LRWS- 7.5,7.5,7.5,8
After EOR: LRWS- 8.5,7.5,7.5,8

Here's my issue, my name was not included among the convocation list, so i can't get my Masters certificate OFFICIALLY till next year January (so annoying cos i fulfilled all graduating conditions well before the list was drawn). They promised me a letter "in lieu of" which i don't think will suffice for ECA.

This sets my score at 426 (instead of 465) without the Masters (i'll be 31 years in 2 weeks, married with over 7 years experience). Should i go ahead with the ECA with my B.Eng. OR/AND try for a PNP?

Wifey's IELTS scores were lower, going to clock 30 in April, doesn't have a Masters degree/2 certificates either, so i guess she's not a better PA.

Thanks in anticipation everyone.

A statement of result will suffice for ECA if it is available , My certificate was also not processed, no thanks to an error from my postgraduate school, so i had to wait for the next convocation batch. In fact, i collected my postgraduate certificate last month. I hope to submit my ITA application today.

cryptic21:
am not saying it is not possible, but the system used by unilag creates room for more 5 points than any school. For instance each year of your stay in school gets equal percentage to your CGPA ( so a four year program leaves each year with 25%). unilag runs something like 10% in first year, 20% in second year, 30% for third year and 40% for final year.
so you can actually mess up you first and second year and still get a firsty or two: one. I am just saying unless she got an A in all her courses in school, she shouldn't get a perfect score

This is not true, the school runs a cumulative grade point average.

The VC has said the most important thing. 'the quality of intakes' influences the end result. Once the admission system of a school is tilted more to favour merit, the academic performance of the students while in the school will reflect such.

By the way to get an A in Nigerian university is 70% and above and not perfect 100% like some claim on this thread.

esosa4real:
Wow, exactly what I am observing now. But Won't institutions/bodies that she might interact with in Canada require them?

You can choose to do the evaluation at your own pace, or on request. I am in a similar situation as yours, though i had my ITA on jan 11, i hope to apply by jan 31 , and schedule a registry union in the second week of feb. Thereafter i inform them of change of status. That way i have saved my partner from the ielts exam stress and eca palaver, at least in the immediate.

esosa4real:
Wow, Boss thanks for your responses, especially the tip on TRF number(I hope this is genuine? it ill be my last resort on Tuesday ).
BTW I have some concerns and seek your expertise advice!

1. Assuming I get ITA on Wednesday, and process as single but later marry in august, at what part of the process will the application likely be at this time? Will the inclusion of my wife here lengthen the process so much?

Asking this because we are ready to do a court wedding at anytime this year but wanna do it at the safest time as she is yet to do Wes and ielts .
So if we for example take the risk to get legally married next week post-ITA, I don't know if the 3months post-ITA period will be enough to complete her WES and Ielts.


I really hope you get me sha...lol

If you intend applying as a Single after ITA, and getting wedded thereafter. There is no point making your wife go through the hassle of sitting for IELTS and evaluating her credentials.

Dear house, I plan to raise the fund from my sister. Will a letter drafted in a gift deed format and notarised by say notary public suffix?

Finally, ITA don show o

I can attest to this news as it directly concerns me, the road and bridge leading to my house is under construction since september , it is a world bank /oyo state gov partnership.

Gymme:
Here is the pointer: the date he submits his complete PR application and the date he gets married.

If he submits his application AFTER getting married (considering the fact that he got an ITA before getting married), he may likely be denied. Since we don't want him to lose his ITA, i have already suggested that he submit his application BEFORE getting married, then AFTER marriage he can inform CIC that his status has changed (this time AFTER submitting his application).

Friends of mine have done it and no problem because the dates are different (submitted PR application and status change).

I quite agree with you. I am projecting to be in a similar situation soonest. I dont have ITA yet, i am projecting ITA by december/jan 2017 with 465 score, and will be getting married hopefully by Feb. 2017. i intend handling it in the way you have suggested.

vcole:
Thanks. I am a "sis" though. Lol!

I think November is around the corner so you may as well wait till then to get your statement printed


I have pof questions myself. Opened an account for EE savings earlier this year and that account won't be 6 months old until Dec 29th which is past the deadline for submitting an app for this ITA. I am considering 2 options.
Option 1. Wait till December to print out the statement and then write a letter of explanation as to why the account is a couple of days shy of being 6 months old.
Option 2. Transfer the funds into another bank account of mine and write a letter of explanation as to where the source of funds came from and why I had to move them.
I would appreciate all of your thoughts as regards this. Thanks.

My bad . Congrats sis, i hope to be in your shoes pretty soon. With a 465 score, i had given up on any thing this year, but ystday's draw made me believe i still have a chance this year.

As to your question, i think option 2 looks better. If you can follow it up with a bank statement and LOE.

I would like to see how the gurus in here suggest the issue be addressed though.

I guess Nigerian guys are romantic and have a way with sweet words that can reshape a ladies destiny

vcole:
Thanks y'all

Congrats bro ! PPR is knocking, go and open d door.

monique2002:
Thanks ooo...it has been a long and silent wait. I was not even expecting a draw today...'e be like film trick for my eye'.
I thank all the gurus in the house that answered so many and often repetitive questions. I personally did not ask a question, just read the thread from page 0 and followed instructions.. I also silently followed the Canadian visa thread on another site that is very extensive...
I hope scores go down further for people below the 470's.

Congrats !

unjust judge

Well i cant blame you, i suspect you had a very weak education. A man involved in an enormous project like building the largest single refinery in Africa will obviously need lots of FOREX. The benefits of such project when completed to d current pressure on forex is second to none.

BlackSeptember:
Hope you can see that its because only one man is getting everything that's why your neighbour went to bed on empty stomach

If 10% is your definition of everything, something must be terribly wrong with your education.

Well, if that will ensure he completes his refinery latest by 2019. So be it.

Imported refined oil products consume 40% of our foreign exchange .

So if Nigeria gives 10% of our forex to a man who has the potential of putting a stop to a loss of 40% forex. I have no qualms with that.

brilliant submission.

With the new fertilizer application guidelines, we have recieved reports of rice yields increase from 3 to 7.5 metric tonnes in Kebbi State and other areas. We invite everyone to participate fully, as the new policy document navigates every area of the agric terrain'.

This interests me the most. For us to compete and make the most of Agric, optimal Yield is paramount.
