Very helpful, thank you. So are you saying if i have travelled to the UK for 2 weeks at different times, over a period of 10 years, then I need a police certificate from the UK? If the total no of 2 week-trips equals 6 months, you need a PCC from UK. CIC calculates the cumulative not 6months visit at a stretch. Hope this helps. |

What a glorious CRS cut off score. I spent close to 6months on 433 with my first EE profile searching for ITA but it wouldn't come 
Congratulations to all our new ITA holders, yimiton, dammiehar, XX01, et al. I know you guys expect to get speedy processing of your eAPR to PPR and so I've decided to help you with a few advice from my own experience. My timeline from AOR to PPR is just 46days which is quite impressive and something I'd wish for you guys to replicate. Now my advice to you goes as follows. Brace up its gonna be a long read
1. Getting ITA is a big deal but it's not so much of a big deal if u don't package your application well and it gets rejected. So use only 24 hours to celebrate dis ITA after which you have to settle down, snap out of the euphoria(you are not in Canada yet ) and focus on submitting your eAPR without making any costly error that may mar your chances.
2. Even though we know that ultimately d divine controls the speed of every application yet you must do your utmost best in packaging your application carefully. As much as you can, get the documents in d format specified by CIC. Start now to disturb your bankers for the reference letters and your employers for the work reference letter. From my experience, you save d VO time and make their work easier when you submit documents in the recommended CIC format and they reward that with a fast processing.
3. PCCs are very vital and you should know by now what PCCs you need to provide. To be on the safe side any country you have spent a cumulative period of 3-4 months from when you were born till now just start now to process your PCC from them. VOs r very unforgiving with PCCs and sometimes they interprete the laws around PCCs in ways we can't truly understand. If you are like me that have never enter international flight before (I.e no travel history) then u are safe but for all the ajalas in the house, the chicken has come home to roost
4. Do not be in a hurry to get AOR, thereby rushing to submit. Take your time to ensure that you include every document in your checklist and in the right file format. Always cross check that your uploads are still intact even at the point of submission. It's not really by AOR but by how fast you move from AOR to PPR. Some July AOR peeps are already with PPR while we still got some April AORs languishing in IP1. So don't let the race to get AOR get to you.
5. Avoid ADRs. If it means waiting till the final week of your 90precious days it's safer to wait it out and submit your application with that document you know will be requested. ADRs have a way of unnecessarily delaying the movement of your file. The best time to send CIC documents is before AOR so be proactive enough to prevent anything that will make then ask after. For example if you know you have been refused visa to some country, nothing stops u from filling a schedule A form proactively even before it is asked.
6. Use your LOE very well. The LOE is a powerful weapon that you must use very well to your favour. If you do an unbiased self assessment of your application, you will note the areas where your application appears to be weak. It's almost likely that the VO will come to this same conclusion as you. That's where a good LOE does wonders. You can use your LOE to politely explain and provide further detail to the VO. What u r actually doing is subtly allaying his doubts about this weak part of your application. This helps the guy to make a favorable decision on your case. The trick to writing a good LOE is being honest, polite and MOST IMPORTANTLY attaching a document to buttress your point or as evidence. Also you can write as many LOEs and attached documents to each even though there is one placeholder for LOE. That's where your PDF merger comes in. Merge all the LOEs into one single file and attach.
7. Raising CSEs is a bad, bad thing!Avoid anything that will also make you to start disturbing your application midway after AOR by having to raise a CSE. Examples are getting married, adding a baby etc. Though most times these stuffs are beyond our control but as much as you can try to avoid entering such situations because it will delay your application. If you know you want to marry that man/woman then make the decision and get married already even before you secure ITA. I've seen some people's application getting delayed because they have to include spouse. If you r expecting a baby and your due date is before the 90days post ITA period,its best you wait for the child and include him before AOR. This exactly was my case. I had ITA Apr 12th and my wife's EDD was May 12th. I decided to wait for the baby. I made every arrangements for his passport with the immigration agent( the guy thought I was crazy trying to do passport for a child yet unborn ), but alas baby came early on May 5th. My son got his passport May 12th or so and we got AOR June 19th.
So my point is as much as we can control these events let's try our best.
8. Finally just keep praying as though everything depends on your prayers but not your work and try not to be overly anxious. Who anxiety EPP sef.
I wish you guys a smooth PPR journey from here on. Thank you Freeradical, very enlightening. FBI PCC is almost making CSE needed o. The processing time is something else. 90 days is almost over and no FBI report yet.  |

NOC is selected based on your job roles and responsibilities so if it fits with yours then by all means use it. Notwithstanding u having a BSC in Micro, hope ur job responsibilities fits with that of NOC3212 also Thank you Wura 27. I was initially worried about the certificate program. The NOC code fits it very closely. Thank you. |

Good evening house,
Please can a NOC code be selected for job titles requiring a certification, despite not having one. Eg. NOC 3212 Medical Lab Technician (Medical laboratory technicians/assistants require completion of a college certificate program in medical laboratory science), without having this certificate program just a BSc (Microbiology/BIochemistry), though the job responsibilities are a close fit?
Thank you |

Its advised to do what would make u sleep well at night after submission. If adding 6 months statement will make u happy, include it. If not telling a lie and keeping it simple (don't know what that means though) will make u feel confident in ur submission, my sister, fire down. Everyone's goal is to get COPR at d end of the day. Good luck! Hello mummyjaygirls. I sent you a PM please |

Thank you guyz, truely relieving. At a point I began to wonder if I was in the right thread. Its well. You are in the right thread, and the right place to get your questions answered for free. So no hard feelings, ok? As for your questions, it is best to use the person with the best IELTS scores, younger age and highest educational qualification as the principal applicant. You being out of job at the moment doesn't matter as long as you have work experience you can get a letter for. For the proof of funds, just be as uncomplicated as you can be, any large amount that can't be accounted for, opt for a gift deed. Hope this helps! |

House please ,has any one here has his/her PCC refused by FBI due to blurred finger print,how long did it take FBI to issue after sendind back the clear finger prints as my card has already been charged. Sorry about this after waiting so long. I once asked a FBI customer agent this question, I was told that a new application will be submitted and join the queue afresh (another 10-12 weeks) with new payment details. She said every card is charged whether the prints were usable or not. |

Good evening. Please are you all seeing exchange rate for CAD? I submitted my application AOR June, PNP and seeing the rate today, my submitted proof of funds have fallen below the required 12164? Is that a challenge? Anyone with this experience, future or present? Please your thoughts will be appreciated I thought The required POF for single applicants is now 12,300CAD not 12,164CAD anymore. |

Goodness gracious. You applied in May and your card has not been charged? This is first of August. I assumed that 10-12 weeks was an exaggeration.
I submitted in July and I was hoping to get highest end of September. If people in May are yet to even be debited...... I applied first week of June. I was advised to wait a few more weeks. The way things are going they might even take longer than the 10-12 weeks. I saw on Canadavisa that the FBI receives over 2000 fingerprint cards daily. |

I know I’m expected to ‘graduate” to our senior thread on Nairaland i.e. “Living in Canada” ….so with time, I’ll gradually wean myself off this thread.
Thank God for the months gone by...and thanks to y’all for your help + contributions.

You have the information you want to tell CIC, you can get a format by searching here on this thread, that's what I did. The major thing is the opening and closing information, the body is just yours. What you'd be paying them for is the typing.
What I did, got the relevant information, who to address it to, the heading and who to sign amongst other info. Searched and got this info here, you can look for my post. Go to the court and sign it, get a notary too but do ensure to get an official receipt from the court cos you have to upload that as well.
Negotiate well with the guys who will assist you to take in for signing, roughly 2,000.
Hope I did answer your question well enough. Pls did you go to the court with your donor? I am thinking of going to redo it, because of the receipt. Which court did you go to please? |

Oh wow! This is indeed great news - left, right, center. God be praised.
Congratulations - Beckyhopeful, MummyJaygirls, lavivaavril, Blaizetony. Y'all must be over the moon - please don't stay there o...come down and submit your passports.
Also, congrats to deeore - your progress is amazing! Indeed God granted you speed for the lost months Re: creating a new profile and all. Congrats again. Your story is exemplary.
So, just to debunk a few myths I have read here (1) If you get Schedule A request (not once but twice) and you have never been refused a visa to any country before, it's absolutely fine. Don't be alarmed - it's just part of their spontaneous checks (maybe). I know someone (on this thread) that got 2xSchedule A....she had never been refused a visa to ANY country before. She was petrified - but today nko, she's celebrating her PPR. She got PPR yesterday. (2) Gift Deed - I know someone (still on this thread) that used gift deed. Today, she also got her PPR letter - 80 days post AOR. So, gift deed doesn't mean your application will be delayed or refused. It is a PoF and as long as you provide what is required you will be fine. (3) Run from agents. You are just a number to them - the only relationship they have is with your pocket, lol. . No one can fill your forms better and tidier than YOU. A lot of people I know got PPRs by doing it themselves. I am also a testimony to that.
To All our new PPR recipients please the finish line is in view...ensure you tidy up your documents, you cannot afford any mistakes now. Don't be like me that wore a cream blazer to the studio to take my photos. When the photo came out, there was no difference between my blazer and the background. My shoulders were 'invisible'. Had to go back to the studio the next day to retake another. So, these little things do matter.
My two cents! Good day Ehrnie, please can you kindly let me know who used the gift deed. I will like to ask some questions if you don't mind. Thank you |

Good morning. Hope we all had pleasant night rests. I have a question please. For those who have used gift deeds, did you draft your letter and and take it to the notary or the notary did the typing?
Also is the deed done on regular A4 or on a letter head paper?

Sorry I dont have much info about the FBI PCC. Experts please help.... For the FBI PCC, to make payment you enclose the payment form with your card details: card no, expiry date, ccv, card name etc. You mail this form with your fingerprints and application form to the appropriate FBI address. When your application is being processed, the stated sum will be deducted from your account. It is $18 for single applicants. |

Although I already got PPR- I had applied for a newer FBI PCC as a precaution since I traveled back to the US before submitting my application. My application was delivered April 26th - CC charged July 10 2017. PCC Delivered in Canada -24 July 2017. Good luck to everyone else!
Saw this yesterday and thought of you. Perhaps you should submit the old one and update the new one. Thank you very much. I might do just that! |

1.if the places you lived were different from your permanent address at that time then no need (if you traveled for holidays, your place of residence during your holidays is not relevant)
2. You should list out all your educational qualifications. I believe there is a place where you are asked which qualifications was accessed Thank you very much! |
