Thanks brother
With the way naira is going he is just scared.
He wan put stop loss lmao

Since the money is in naira, please add a bit more. The rates are still rising, so it’s better to include extra.

IF he can convert it to USD, I’d also recommend he does so, as the rates seem to keep increasing and that would mean more naira to be added. Once converted to dollars, you go just know say you no go dey fear as the rates dey fluctuate.

Please house
A friend had 24k cad pof when he got aor his pof was more than enough cus what he needed was 22500 cad.

Since his profile has not gotten fd yet, but now the worth of his 24k cad is now 23k cad.

Is it legal to top up the pof? If yes, does he have to raise webform and inform ircc or there is no need for that

Your friend still has more than the required 22,500 CAD, so there’s no problem at the moment.

If he's concerned about the amount decreasing further, he can always add more funds and submit a webform with a Letter of Explanation (LOE), bank reference letter, letter of non-indebtedness and bank statements attached.

Overall, I don’t see any issue here since he remains above the required amount.

Well, someone thinking of doing PR before will find it useful. The most shocking for me is the changing of the rule for SOWP for spouse of Masters programme. It must be 16 months (2 years) in length. Then the spouse applying for SOWP must also be in TEER 0 or 1 (Management or Professional) classification of employment or any employment in labour shortage. Canada don vex oh. This regime is trying too much to favour her citizens because of elections.

Na normal thing..... You have to win the elections using any legal means necessary.

philtrum:
Hi everyone, please who has the correct ircc webform link, I am seeing 2 links and I don't know which one is right. Also, any details on reply timelines would be appreciated.

Use this one - https://secure.cic.gc.ca/ClientContact/en/Application/Form/72 (this has a section where you'd give a brief description of what/why you are raising a webform)

I used both forms, and this one appears to be the most up-to-date, as it has a "DATE MODIFIED: 2024-02-06" at the bottom of the page. In terms of response times, I've had experiences where I received a reply within an hour of uploading a form, while other times it took over two weeks to get a response.

I don raise plenty webform sha as IRCC no wan make I rest that time.

Edrick:



Thank you for your response. Since I paid today, can I go to the office on Monday? Or wait a little longer. ?

Be checking the portal for updates.

I believe you should also see an update there since you don’t have access to the number linked to your NIN.

Edrick:



Hello sir. Good afternoon. Regarding this police certificate issue. I somehow lost the phone number I used for my NIN registration. I’m told that the biometrics information would be sent to this number. I just paid today and I was given the receipt and noticed the lost phone number.

My question is: would this biometrics information be sent to my mail? Or is it only through sms? And can I just go to the office and do the biometrics on Monday?

I never received an SMS. I just buzzed one inspector Moshood, went to his office at Ikoyi (apongbon) and I did all that was required and got my certificate in my mail.

Cboss:
Good morning guys, please is Police Character Report compulsory for PR application?

Yes it is compulsory for a PR application.

You have to get a police report for every country you've stayed in for more than 6 months.

shila8:
Good morning guys, if I’ve previously lived in the uk for about a year and some months but i only submitted police reference for Nigeria, will that affect my application in anyway? And if it does is there a way to work around it?

Why didn't you include your time living in the UK in your application?

According to IRCC, you must disclose any place you've lived for more than 6 months in the past 5 or 10 years (not sure).

Additionally, several countries, including the UK, share information with Canada. So, imagine the visa officer reviewing your application, conducting a background check, and finding out you stayed in the UK for over a year.

stevolinkon40:

Spouse will reduce the score at any point you add them if they don't have ECA and English Test.
You can add a child at any point without reducing your score but spouse will.

I was under the impression that scores are locked after AOR, so adding my spouse afterward shouldn't affect my scores—assuming you got married after the AOR.

stevolinkon40:

I am currently in the UK and I have a driver's license here but I got it just 1year ago, I also have about 5years driving experience in Nigeria

Hi, you said you have about 5 years driving experience in Nigeria. Is your Nigerian drivers license still valid?

If yes, can’t it be used to get the FRSC extract to enable you get the G license?

firelord222:


Please how offten are this tech draws? and what cut off do they normal give for it

Not sure how often they conduct draws, but the cut off is usually below the general draws cutoff.

Wanice:
Good day everyone,

My BSc certificate was evaluated by CES and I also passed the BCS Level 4 Certificate in IT. Do I need to have my BCS certificate in IT evaluated as well? Additionally, I have over four years of experience working as a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer/Program Officer in the HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis and STIs space. I also have almost two years of experience as a Cloud Engineer.

Will NOC 41404 suffice for my Monitoring and Evaluation/Program Officer role and will NOC 21231 be appropriate for my Cloud Engineering role? Looking forward to your replies. Thanks guys.

Yes, to earn more points, you should evaluate both your BCS in IT certificate and your BSc degree. This will be considered as having two or more degrees, which would give higher points compared to evaluating just your BSc degree.

To your second question, I don't know about the role Monitoring and Evaluation, but NOC 21231 is the most appropriate for cloud engineering.

All the best.

NiceTheDev:


Yes. I strongly believe that. Will explore other pnp routes too that doesn't require getting a job. Hopefully, things will ease with time

Hi @NiceTheDev, I'm also in the tech space though I'm not a dev.

Ontario does tech draws and one of the roles/occupations they target is software developers which I believe is what you're doing.

You can qualify for that depending on their cut-off, you could also sit for French exams coz na those one's dey hot now.

I got Ontario nomination for their tech draw and I've gotten PR but I'm currently trying to add my spouse.

Cheers.

Timiofak:
I randomly remembered

6th semester done. 95 credits (30 more to go). 4.0/4.0

All A’s. I'm currently interning at a Fortune 10 and my chances of getting a full-time return offer grow. I won 3 scholarships and I'm on permanent full ride and I get a large refund too.

My school accepted me for the accelerated msc so I get my master's approximately two years from today. BSc and Masters in five years in electrical and computer engineering

Thank you big Macky.

Big ups man.

zsch:


It’s this still your experience!

Yes, Fibreone is still working well for me overall. However, I've noticed that at certain times during the day, the network stops working for about 10 minutes. Additionally, while gaming, especially when playing FC24, the network disconnects are more frequent than before.

Due to the nature of my job, I purchased the MTN 5G router to use as a backup whenever these issues occur.

shinaxurdick:
Good evening everyone,

For Canada express entry POF pls is micro finance bank accepted ? An agent told me is acceptable because am aware is not accepted for study visa.

I've heard of a few people who used them, but it's adviceable you use a regular bank to avoid stories that touch.

Preshlomoye:
Please I need a walkthrough of US visa application; documents required, where and how to apply etc

Applying as a PR

Canada dey the title of this thread, you con dey find US data for here.

Check through the travel page, you'd see lots of US threads there.

Your question would be better answered on any of those US threads.

Prisscindy:
Hello my people,

Please what can someone do again, asides, calling IRCC customer service and sending webforms, AoR has been since 29th Nov 2023, no BIL or MEP yet?

Haaaa...... When you call them, what do they say is happening on your application?

What's your GCKey saying?

Have you ordered GCMS notes?

Edandy:
Is there a particular amount one should have saved up before the gift deed? If yes how much for a family of four?

The whole of your POF can be gift deed.

Hello everyone,

Got married after COPR and I'm aware that adding your spouse after receiving the COPR will result in the cancellation of the existing COPR, and the profile (including your spouse's) will be reviewed again.

Could anyone who has recently gone through this process share their timeline and how long it took for a new COPR to be issued?

Thanks.

Rhoda21:



Do you mind me asking when you are planning to leave Nigeria for Ontario? I just got my PPR, also through ontario nomination. It will be nice to connect with a fellow Nigerian leaving soon too.

Hi Rhoda,

I’m not sure when I’ll be leaving, but I’m leaning towards August.

I still have a lot of things to sort out before I leave, so August has not been confirmed yet.

When would you wanna leave too?

yansky:
please I have searched but can't find it. can someone please send the link to check the accepted exchange rate on the Canada website?

The official Canadian website that shows exchange rates for various currencies has been down since October/November last year. Currently, everyone uses either xe.com or oanda.

Pablo9090:



What I mean is delay in processing visa to Canada, can I make use of the money in my proof of funds and later return it back ? Is it going to affect me now that I have done my biometric since January?

Do not touch your POF for any reason. What if you get an ADR (Additional Documents Required) concerning your POF, how are you going to prove to your VO that the money is yours and not borrowed?

ezzylee:

yusufhaji:
Please what's the minimum IELTS score for an express entry application?

This is already on page 1 of this thread.

A minimum of CLB7 in LRWS is required to qualify for FSW and set up an EE profile (for IELTS this is a LRWS 6/6/6/6). To get max CRS points for language (CLB10) you need IELTS LRWS 8.5/8/7.5/7.5, the step below that (CLB9) is LRWS 8/7/7/7.

Pepman:
Can someone please confirm if Deed of gift from parent is still a good and acceptable for POF? Like someone daddy deposit lumpsum into the applicants account to use as POF.

Yes, a deed of gift is still acceptable.

Make sure in the description, your dad puts “gift deed” there so that it reflects when you print out your statement of account.

Also, when submitting your application, include any of your dads signed means of ID (intl passport, Drivers license, etc) as part of the docs you’re submitting for POF.

All the best!!!

chimzyblack:

I have been wondering how to register an expression of interest for Ontario nominee program but I am a little confused on how to go about it.
When I submitted my profile in the express entry pool, I recall a section where I was asked about provinces that I will like to live in, and Ontario was one of the province I selected.
My question now is, does selecting Ontario as a province automatically mean that my Express entry profile will be considered when Ontario conducts it own draws? Or is there another way by which I can register an expression of interest?

As mentioned by someone earlier, it's not possible to register an expression of interest directly to Ontario. Instead, Ontario would express interest in your profile (NOI).

Given that you've chosen Ontario as one of the provinces you're interested in residing in, your profile will be considered for their HCP draws. If Ontario wasn't selected, your profile won't be considered for the Ontario HCP draws.

gsparks01:
Good evening to the good people of this house.

I'm a software developer with a combined work experience of 4 years (not just software). I have BSC, no Masters. I just clocked 30,hence I've been wondering if I I've got a shot at this.

Are there special considerations/pathways for people in tech that'll improve my chances? Any tech people here who have emigrated recently who were in my shoes? Please put me through.

Thank you kindly.

Yes, there are special pathways for guys in the tech field.

There’s a STEM pathway, and various provinces have pathways for tech occupations too (I’m conversant with Ontarios own coz I got nominated by them).

Read and digest everything on page 1 then get into the pool as soon as possible.

All the best!!!!
