Feygbe:
Pls has anyone gotten bank letters from UBA and GTBank with savings account?
Also can I submit e-APR without FBI PCC with my deadline still a month to go?

jobmman:
I have a question. I have been denied Canada visa twice before my husband got ITA, infact the second application was still in progress while we submitted our PR application and I got refused along the line I ordered My gcm notes to know reason for refusal. Gcm notes pointed insufficient funds mainly as reason for refusal and ties. Am just disturbed does the past refusal have anything to do with the current PR application in anyway? Are PR applications treated independently or are they linked with previous refusals? Note: hubby is presently on student visa in Canada. The first refusal was a visit visa and the second was open work permit. Thanks

Good morning fam - I just received an email from CIC to complete a schedule A form. I'm wondering why I have been asked to complete this......, is this normal? Or something to worry about? They have given 7 days to complete this. Please anyone who has completed a schedule A form should help answer the following questions - do I have to print the form out, fill it by hand, sign it and then scan it to them via my CIC account? Or am I meant to fill it out electronically?

Congrats to everyone who has received PPR recently...

I'm in the process of filling my e-APR and I have been rejected a UK visa in the past,

Please confirm if I will be answering YES to two statutory questions on the online form. Online there are two questions relating to refused visa but on the Schedule A form (hard copy), there is only one refused visa related question

Congrats to you and Babachi on your PPR!!!

Since you are sending it to Ghana, I will advise you use DHL instead as I heard VFS takes ages. This might have changed sha. The decision is yours to make. Find below details I found out on how to send your passport to Accra Office. Please note that there might be recent changes that I am not aware of.

For DHL, you will visit their office to send your passports and all other required documents to Accra Visa Office. They will not allow you to add pre-paid envelope (to return your passports and COPR back to you) for business operational reasons. What they will do is to have your docs delivered to Accra VO and once your passport is ready, Accra VO will send you an email that your passport is ready for collection. You will then visit their office and give them a copy of the email and possibly a consent letter to pick up the Passport from the VO on your behalf. You will need to pay additional money for the pick up. They will now help you to collect it from Accra and send it to your address or for pick up at DHL office.


For VFS, you will visit their office with all your documents and they will provide the details of how they will send it to you. You will be given an option to either pick up your passports from their office or to have it delivered to your home address. For VFS, you will be able to track it all the way through. They will send your passports to VO and help you to collect it back. I have read somewhere that it might take up to 1-2 months for you to receive your passports and COPR.

I think it takes about 2 weeks to a month for Accra VO to send back your COPR

Google IMM8 form to get the form or check this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM0008ENU_2D.pdf. complete the form online, print it and include it with your passport and photos. Please note that you need the latest Acrobat Reader to be able to view it and complete the form. The latest version was issued in March 2017.

With regard to photographs, why don't you go to a professional photographer? I believe you will be able to find one around you.

A bit frustrated bro, i ordered gcms notes on may 12 and received 2 days ago, and application shows approved, but ppr is no where to be found. I am 3 weeks old on ip2. Schedule A/travel history request for me was on March 8.(36 days after AOR) March 20(updated pof) March 21(proof of relationship , relationship pixes, IMM008 form e.t.c)

bolabae:

My newspaper publication for change of name reads September while my marriage cert reads October. I 'll like to know if that 'll be a problem or it should come after the date on the marriage certificate. Thanks in anticipation

Good Day People,

I'm New here and i need to have a detailed understanding of what the process is about before applying for the express entry program.

I am 21 years old and a Lawyer by profession. My overall IELTS result was 8.5 and i have a spouse/partner (25 years). She is a biochemist.

We both graduated about the same time and got a low paying job. The economic situation in Nigeria is a reason for this.

We both have two years of work experience with a Net income of 50k naira monthly each, averaging about 600k Naira a year per person. However we plan to show we have financial sustenance of CAD 15k through our Fixed Deposit Certificate. Oh I didn't mention that my cousin is a permanent resident in canada and this was how he processed his (The Fixed Deposit Certificate).

By calculation, our CRS score is about 455 (Maybe Above). My questions are:

1. Is it better i apply alone or with my spouse?

2. Would it be a problem on how our salary doesn't translate to what we have in the fixed deposit? Is my monthly salary too little? Is it a justification for issuance or denial?

3. Is the fixed deposit the best way to go about this? or we get a notarized gift deed?

4. What is the Best advise you have for us on this?

mamacajah:
Hello All,

Please I need to ask a question on dependents. Can my sister-in-law accompany us in our family application (she's over 30yrs) or should she do her own EE? Can we bring our nanny along as well (she's more of an unofficially adopted daughter)? Thanks for the response.

vcole:
Congrats @slowlybtsurely, as your moniker goes, it has all worked out in the end. Super happy for you.

@jolao, you mentioned that your spouse is working in a non clinical role, that is what I referred to as his other job. It's pretty simple, fill his work experience as it is. If Mr X worked as a gardener from 2010-2011, then janitor from 2012-2013, then chef from 2014-2015, that is how Mr X should fill his work experience. I got your pm but I'm not responding to pms from new members as all questions are best asked and answered on the thread for maximum benefit to all.

@nekypalo, I recently contacted iqas as someone I know had a similar issue. Iqas would not send you any mail acknowledging receipt of your transcript until they have received your application form and proof of ID and copy of certificate. So they would have your transcript but would not have a file opened for you because they didn't receive your application form. The person I spoke to informed me of this and also said that if you send your documents by fax, you have to call immediately you send it to confirm that they have received it otherwise most times it just gets lost in transmission. She also mentioned that most of the applications sent via fax come out as illegible and blurry on their end and so sending the application forms via mail is their preferred option. So, I'll advise that you resend your application form n other documents asap.

@40manlappy, @boldinc, @onlineise, @ugoiyke, @esosa4real, how mar-kate?

Dear Family,

I just want to drop a few points to encourage someone this hour especially people with IELTS scores that didn't come out as expected.
So i started this journey since Aug 2015..i rushed to do IELTS Without much practice and i scored: LSRW: 7.5,6,8,7 and i hired David Cohen Law Firm paid 2000 USD but nowhere was i advised that my score is bad and i need to retake the IELTS. I figured that out on a thread like this that was closed. So Practically, i read the previous thread and have been reading this thread since it started from Page 0.

Dont be in a hurry, every step is a major step: Practice, pray and Plan, and Read....
I Retook the exam in April 2016, when i figured out the CRS draw kept going higher: Behold: it was the hardest test i ever came across this was after so many practice sessions on Youtube, my hubby scaled thru because he listens to rap music... the listening was terrible..so i understand if the exam is tough..the result was: LSRW: 7.5,7.5,7.5,6.5.... it was a terrible try i must say coupled with the fact that i was heavily pregnant.
I eventually lost the baby at delivery in May and i was devastated and numb for weeks...
But Guess what i bought a book in church: JOYCE Meyer: NEVER GIVE UP...That book quickened the fire within me in this terrible times and i made up my mind to re-write IELTS exam, my hubby felt it was the wrongest time to write an exam because of the situation surrounding but my spirit man was lit and on fire..I paid for another IELTS AND Practiced, rehearsed, like my life depended on it..Prayed like my life was going to end..JESUS Did it: AUG 2016 Result: LSRW: 9,7,7.5,7...My score went up to 465.. but the subsequent draws were high..
I kept faith alive...till Jan 4 when i saw dat the draw came down and i didn't get an ITA after contacting DAVID COhen law firm they said my profile expired a day before and my contract had expired that the contract was for a year, remember i contacted them in July 2015 because a family friend relocated his whole family to Canada some years back and advised me they were the best and anytime i plan to take such a step i should contact them.
I was furious sent a mail to the whole high ranking officials in the firm and how they were joking with my relocation plan.. apparently we were not on the same page .. They decided to give me a waiver to renew my profile in the POOL...
Jan 11th draw i got ITA.. They informed me..and said they will collect 1500USD to assist in compiling my documents and submit my application to avoid mis-representation. I had already had enough of the firm and their shit.. so i told them i wont be continuing my application with them.
With the help of this amazing thread i was armed with information to submit a successful application.. which i did with my spouse.. We keep reading...Never GIVE UP.. Guys..see you all in Canada..

chigrad:
Good day, please how do I join the express entry pool and what are the documents required to join the point apart from IELTS results. Pls don't refer me to page one of this thread o. I'm sorry for taking you back. Your kind response is needed. Thank you

apyhour:
Hello All,this is my first post. Was referred here. I have submitted my application but during medicals, spouse was diagnosed with HIV. What are the options here?

Jolao:
Hello House,
I'm totally new to this thread, though i have gotten a lot of priceless information but i have a question.

My husband is the primary applicant, He's a medical doctor, he practised for a year and he presently works in a Health management organisation (HMO), is it possible to combine the two work experience, to claim points for 3years or just stick with the one year Hospital experience?
