einsteino:
congrats.

Pls, I have quite a number of things i need clarification on. You used 90% Gift deed, that implies 10% of your POF came from you. Did this 10% have to be in your account for 3months before ITA? I assume gift deed can be raised Post ITA, right? what details does one need to put in LOE for gift deed?

Thank you. The gift deed was gotten 7 weeks post ITA. It was meant to be 100% but then exchange rate went up. So I had to top it up myself. I simply sent the needed amount from one of my bank accounts into this one. Got an updated reference letter from the bank and submitted that letter without statements of account.
Components of a POF with Gift deed:
1. Bank letter
2. Gift deed (duly notarized)
3. Affidavit from donor (at commissioner of oaths)
4. Proof of transfer from donor to donee
5. Receipt from commissioner of oath.
6. LOE stating why I used uncle as donor. I stated I had been back to medical school for some years and my uncle had been my sponsor, so makes sense for him to gift such an amount. Supported with evidence (but added evidence to general LOE placeholder).
Hope this helps.

einsteino:
I think we must be very careful not to make such hasty conclusions because it doesnt entertain the far reaching effects.

However, you are right when you say but for it many people would not have the 1yr minimum work experience required for EE, but lets be honest, isn't that because of unemployment? is that 1yr actually work experience for most corps members? I was close to tears for feygbe when I implied she was unable to get a job for 6 good years! we wouldnt be here throwing our all into PR if it were possible in Canada for the only 1yr employment in 7yr duration to be some mandatory
ia has any.

Sorry I didn't mention why. I was back in medical school.

As promised, here is my story:

- IELTS: LRSW 8 8.5 8.5 8 One attempt
- CRS: 413 ITA cut off: 413
- POF: I edited amount Post-ITA to exactly 12,300CAD and did not write LOE. Gift deed was 90% of POF from my uncle. I got the bank reference letter in CIC format from UBA, so I did not attach statements of accounts.
- NOC code: I edited the NOC code post ITA and did not write LOE.
- Employment: I used my NYSC experience from 7 years ago alone. Got a reference letter from ppa and that was all I attached. No complimentary cards or proof of payment. Presently unemployed as well.
- I submitted schedule A upfront as I had 3 US visa denials in the past.
- LOE: I attached LOE in individual placeholders as needed eg LOE for FBI PCC in Police reports, LOE for gift deed in POF etc. Non-specific ones were in LOE placeholder.

Can you have gaps in employment? YES. Can you apply while unemployed? YES. Can you edit NOC and POF post ITA? YES. Can you use a gift deed? YES. Can you use NYSC? YES pls! Was I determined? YES. Was I the most qualified? NO! The Lord looked upon me in His mercy and love and honoured me. I remain forever grateful.

I did my passport myself. I applied and paid online and went to passport office to submit application and for capturing. Passport was ready in 5 days from the day I went for capturing.

Learning new things here.

Rebarobyn:
That's new! I thought the infrared headphones cut across all centers. So what happens when people murmur or make a noise and you miss out on a part? Do they rewind?

Hehehe..... Nobody made a sound. In fact, that speaker must have been new. It was crystal clear almost like it was being played to an audience of one.

Kontagious:
To your question. The exam is paper based. For listening which comes first except in rare cases where it comes later, you'd all be given an infrared headphone, question paper and answer sheet. The listening audio is played from a central device but you only hear it through your headphone. So each test taker hears the tape individually. The headphone comes with volume control, you can adjust the volume to your comfort.

Hope this helps.

Interesting! I didn't know this. Where I did my IELTS, a DVD player was placed in front of the class. It was adjusted accordingly till everyone could hear clearly and then the listening section started. No headphones. Speaking test was also conducted same day.

MRSDA:
One will not necessarily know VIsa office after passing medicals. My application has been at CIO and i passed medicals on Sept19/20. I don't think it necessarily follows.

I agree with you. People can send the emails, anytime, they simply tell where it is. At CIO or at LVO. So better to check in NA2 when additional Documents show 'We do not need any additional documents '. That is when a transfer has been done from CIO to LVO

Kontagious:
Bros, it can be the fear of LVO o... But truly, when can one request to know? How do you know when CIO transfers your file to a VO?

Usually file has been transferred when additional documents changes to 'no additional documents needed' and at this stage you are still in NA2.
It is only when the VO has picked it that it changes to IP2. So depending on the LVO it can change to IP2 pretty fast or like majority of files in London VO, it might just be lying idle.

In some rare cases like mine, file got transferred while in IP1 cos of ADR. So it just moved to IP2 without NA2.

smslive2:
Are you married?
Because not working does not pose as a barrier, ITS ACTUALLY A BARRIER

I don't believe this is true. Employment doesn't have to be ongoing or current. As long as it was in last 10 years.

Obi1conte:
Thats what they seem to charge. I paid 32k and thats because i knew somwone. Official rate is 8.5k

Are you kidding? Here I was thinking official rate is 20k

MippiShick:
Awesome! You're almost there. Congrats in advance jor.

Thank you. Amen and amen

MippiShick:
Correct Feybe! On the dot! At what stage are you now?

Lol. Presently at IP2

MippiShick:
Hi Guys! Please quick one. Initially, in my EE profile, I put 15,000 CAD as the funds i'd take with me to CA. Knowing that I might not have up to that amount (and just to be on the safe side), I changed it to 13,500 CAD. I'm aware that for single applicants, it is 12,300 CAD. Will 13,500 CAD be okay?

Thanks my people!

I put exactly 12,300CAD

bigbroda:
Nice one but d guy can only edit d post but dat won't correct d one u quoted. U shouldn't have quoted him cos it stays even when he edits d original post.

Thank you for calling my attention to it. I have edited mine as well.

ferfer:
Hello brothers and sisters ,
Abeg is naija international passport renewal up to 35k now ni? These immigration people no get joy at all. Kindly advice if it’s the going rate or the guy wan chop me. Was told it will be available for collection the same day after capturing.
Thanks and cheers.

I know of different prices, ranging from 27-30k. And they promised next day but it took at least 2 weeks, even longer for others. And this is very recently.

Newmum0615:
Wondafulu. So you didn't have to go through the stress of choosing an NOC code or getting reference letter for the previous job you put under personal history?

You only get the letter and claim points for the job(s) in work history. The ones in personal history require no documents.

xcaper:
Hello all, please can I claim that my wife's uncle is my sibling I know I can get his birth certificate and his PR card if need be , he will be willing to support me with all documentation that will be required.

He is not your sibling. So pls don't bother claiming it. Misrepresentation comes with a 5 year ban.

victree4:
Thanks bro.

Age: 27
I'm single
Edu: B.Eng electrcal/Electronics
Ielts: lsrw 8, 7, 7, 7
Experience: 2 years

That shld be all

Your CRS points will be 404 based on the above.

Here are ways to increase your points:
1. Get one more year work experience. This adds 25 extra points.

2. Get Another degree. This alone gives you 40 extra points (without one more year of work experience).

3. Explore PNP option. This gives 600 extra points
And costs 1500cad.

4. A sibling in Canada that is a PR or citizen. This gives 15 extra points.

5. Another IELTS and aim for CLB 10. This gives 12 extra points (totally not a guaranteed option).

You can also enter the pool and hope for cut off to drop. Lowest so far has been 413 and last one was 436.

victree4:
Congrats bro.
Please assist me.
What was your individual scores for crs? And the total.

I'm asking because I keep stopping at 407 for all my calculations. And @ least 440 is needed from ita

What is your age, marital status, highest educational qualification and your IELTS?

I can help you calculate it to confirm.

DatechMan:
I sent an email to CIC yesterday to know my LVO.
I got a shocking response this evening.


The said mail is no where to be found.
God is in control

Please reply them sharp sharp. Don't forget to check spam and trash too.

Onlineise:
#MayAorSquad and #Londoners make una gather round. I would have said its been 161days of excruciating patience but NO its been more than that and I would like to share it with y'all.

12-05-2017: AOR

26-06-2017: Medical Passed

27-06-2017: BG: IP1 - NA

20-07-2017: Raised CSE to submit FBI PCC

10-08-2017: File was moved to London office from CIO.

21-08-2017: London offie sent me a mail to stop disturbing their life.

12-10-2017: Sent a mail to London office to say, Sorry to bother you but how far na its 5months today, but got no response

16-10-2017: BG: NA - IP2

18-10-2017: ADR for the same FBI PCC i already raised CSE for in July, well, I submitted in 40mins after the mail came in.

20-10-2017: PPR.

Congratulations. Lol.....@ London VO asking not to be disturbed. I am glad it ended in praise.

Farefare:
I don't understand either, they submitted ITA without medical cert; they haven't even done their medicals yet. So I need to know if they are on the right track or being advised wrongly.thanks

Medicals are supposed to be submitted upfront. I read a case on canadavisa where it wasn't uploaded, they were waiting for it to be requested. The stream was PNP. After 3-4 months, the application was rejected because of the medicals not done upfront.

elfmann:
Abeg oh.. Let me ask some questions:
1.Is there any clinic doing medicals on Saturdays? I know Children's Practice has stopped. Abi?
2.For the photo, how much does the Studio 24 collect? Can they give me 4 copies and a digital one?
3. Does Alagbon do PCC on Saturdays?
These are gathering stuff pre-ITA.
Cc Kontagious, Canadianfly, 40manlappy etc..

I can only help with Number 2. Studio 24 charges N1,500 for the digital picture and N1,500 for 4 hard copies. Bear in mind the photo dimensions for COPR is different from the one post ITA. So unless you want to use the passport photos for something else, you can just do the digital one now and later go back for hard copies after PPR.

Saturi:
I have a dorm (usd), Savings (ngn) & Current acct (ngn).
My dorm acct is where my Proof of Fund is....
Cause i intend to only upload the Usd acct for the purpose of POF.

Pls advise

I believe the Dom acct alone is fine, as it contains the full POF. If it makes you feel better, you can include a LOE stating the above.

Seniors can input too.

MummyJaygirls:
Aye!!!

Mummyjaygirls,

Why are you saying aye?

balogunsam:
Good morning everyone. I added my NYSC one year teaching experience to my work experience while filling......
Secondly, for the reference letter (in either case), will i get from the school or from NYSC?
E dakun, epp me.

Just your PPA is involved. Forget about NYSC totally in the application. And it is not a government position too. Pls take note for Post Its form.

Mavor:
I sent an email to NC-NOC-CNP-GD@hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca requesting for advise on my NOC classification

omesanni:
My stream is FSW and I did not get any ADR for police report. My status says no additional documents needed. What is your Visa Office? mine is London VO

Mine is Ottawa. Well, London VO is not the fastest, but you will see changes once your file is picked up.
