Same here and no issues.

40manlappy:
I uploaded only the current passports on e-APR even though the older passports contained more travel history.

Of course, I included the travel history of the older passport on the e-APR. Don't be confused please. I only shared what IRCC requires, feel free to follow your heart. Some have done same and there were no issues. All the best!

nkigirl:
Hah! Different opinions from different people, and it's so confusing. Even the tweet isn't clear with reference to my situation. I need to know so I don't do the wrong thing.
The current passport is very new and doesn't have any stamps or markings or visas. All the visas, stamps and markings are on 2 older and expired passports.
We will of course include all info in the travel history and provide all PCC as required.
But, based on the tweet and experiences of other people, did anyone only upload the current passport even if it did not contain all the info you put in your travel history

Very true...my Linkedin profile was viewed 5 times by private viewers (identities not shown). Ensure nothing contradicts to warrant verifications and delays.

You have to think like the VO and ensure everything surrounding your social media matches information in your application.

For instance, all they need to do is type your name in google and everything pops up....so if I were you, I would do that and see what comes up.

Makes it easy for them when everything is in sync and for those not on social media....lucky you

ehix89:
How true is this?

Sorry its the PTE Academic test I saw. I guess you are fine with the IELTS General. You can as well ask for a remark and give the 8 band a shot if you are interested in Australian PR.

folamingo:
Australia uses IELTS Academic and not General module the last time I checked.

You might want to verify before asking for a remark.

Cheers

Hello Kontagious,
Apparently we wrote our IELTS on the same day. Have you applied for remark? If so can you pls share your experience? I had the following:
listening 9.0
Reading 8,5
Writing 7.5
Speaking 8.5
Someone advised me to ask for a remark. Reason being that if i wanted to apply for assessment for my professional body in Australia I would need an 8 across board. Also that would give me 20 points instead of 10. Pls lets know how you get on, I have not gone to pick up my results.

My Uni in Wales was free!

einsteino:
you mean the much you were charged is £12 (6000naira)? UNN charged me 35k for transcript, one would think overseas institutions would charge a foot and an arm for it.

Please can one operate more than one bank? E.g Have account with Scotiabank and RBC.

No, the reason why we mostly use bank statements is our inability to get bank letters in the exact format.

But I would recommend you include statements if available, perhaps to further strengthen the proof of funds.

Cheers

yimiton:
Good morning all,

If I can get the proof of funds letter in the exact format stipulated by CiC, do I still need to include my bank statements of account?

Go with your ruler if possible and measure the thing when they print them out. If it does not meet the specifications, tell them to reprint it until you are satisfied. You are paying for a service and they must meet your satisfaction.

Feygbe:
Both studio 24 and photo craft are not getting this digital photo specifications. I don't understand this back and forth again!

If its for eAPR...Please follow the instructions given in the question mark hanger. It said examples of proof of education include a diploma and/or degree . In addition to that include your IELTS and ECA (this wasn't requested for but it hasn't been proven to aid the application. Also an overzealous VO can cancel an application when they do not see the IELTS or ECA, instead of requesting for it if needed).

In all, ensure you satisfy all the requirements in the question mark hanger to the best of your ability. If in doubt, Please ask for clarifications.

crazyinlove:
Good morning all,

Does it matter if a husband submitted Degree Certificate and the wife submit Statement of Result (both included WES Report)

Thanks

I called the Accra Visa Office and I was informed to send only the bio data page of the US passport (Which I did in colour) and not to send the physical passport as they are not stamping it or affixing a visa as a visa exempt country. They said they will attach the COPR letter to the photocopy.

Kindly note I used the US passport ONLY during application.

I sent package yesterday, so I will give a feedback when the entire process has been completed.

yokus:
I believe either the USA passport or the Nigerian Passport can be submitted. I intend to submit the USA Passports because the kids will probably use that more for travelling that doesn't include Nigeria.

URGENT!!!

Please those that gave birth to their kids in the US, did you include their US passports when sending for COPR to Ghana or a copy of their bio data page as they are from a visa exempt country?

Please I did you fill the IMM008 and additional family information forms when sending your passports? I want to send mine and I am confuse as nothing has changed.

cc: All other gurus that have received their visas on their passports/completed the process.

There was an audio I heard of a Nigerian calling CIC's office and the answer was to send the passport to your local visa office which is Ghana Visa Office for permanent residency applications. The address was shared 2 pages back i think...

did you get provincial 600 points or not? as long as you never claimed provincial points in your application and you got ITA, you are FSWO. if you used province points to get ITA, you are PNPO

sammyacbxyz:
I am a bit confused. Please, what is the difference between federal skilled worker outland and PNP outland application.

If i got nominated by Ontario while in the express entry pool and got ITA, is my application FSW-O or PNP-O?

The headline should be,"Bidders exploit loopholes in terms and conditions of the NCS E-Auction". The alleged bidders did not break any rules, NCS did not do their homework well. After the fall out of the exercise, they now realize what they should have done from the beginning.

eddie7:
Nigeria Customs Services (NCS) is warning fraudulent bidders involved in making unrealistic bids to stay off its e-auction platform or risk prosecution.

Mr Joseph Attah, Customs Public Relations Officer, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja that the service would not spare those undesirable elements making fraudulent and unrealistic bids with the sole aim of polluting the exercise.

According to him, the management of Customs has began moves to reprogramme the platform to make it inaccessible to fraudulent bidders who are discouraging genuine bidders from participating.

Attah said the second batch of 48 hours bidding process that started on Monday at noon and ended on Wednesday at noon was loaded with 115 vehicles and all were bidded for and supposedly won.

” I used the word supposedly because our experience revealed that some bad elements who are criminally minded have launched into platform and started bidding bogus and unrealistic figures just to spoil it.

” You will see where a bidding is ongoing for an item with a reserved bid of N300,000 and people are offering N350,000 to N500,000 and all of a sudden you will see someone from nowhere quoting N5 million to N8 million.

“It is obvious they are jokers who think we are fooling around; remember the rule is that in the event the highest bidder cannot pay within five days, the item reverts to the second highest bidder.

“So what these people have done is to pair themselves up, where one person bids reasonably say N400,000 for an item with a reserved bid of N200,000, the other drops an outrageous figure like N8 million just to ward off potential bidders.

“We know the vehicle is not worth half of that amount in the market. This is unfair,” Attah said.

Attah said that the service would be reprogramming the system in such a way that one cannot bid beyond a certain percentage of the reserved bid or what the average bidders are offering.

He said the system would not allow any bidder to make such exaggerated bids, adding that the system would detect the bidders with their Tax Identification Number (TIN).

“Those bidder will no longer participate in future bid aside from risking of prosecution for such act.

“Again, the system is being reprogrammed in such a way that when the winner fails to pay in five days, the item will revert back into the pool for fresh bidding, instead of going to the second highest bidder.

“The management knew why the TIN was made a mandatory pre-bidding requirement. It gives us your picture, address, phone number, email and other vital information. With this TIN, we will go after these fraudsters,” Attah said.

While giving an assessment of the second batch of bidding process, Attah said the system recorded 2,001 registered bidders.

He added that out of the figure, 1,919 were enabled and participated in the bidding.

“We want to assure the general public that the NCS is determined that e-auction platform succeeds.

“We are motivated by the benefits of the e-auction platform that includes security, opportunity for better revenue generation and the fact that it presents equal opportunity to all Nigerians.

“As a service, we want to continue to engage the general public through a process that is transparent, accountable and capable of safeguarding our integrity,” he added.

Attah said that at the first batch of 48 hours bidding process, 43 bidders emerged winners.

“Out of this figure, 42 have paid for their bids and began collection at the Ogun State Command where the vehicles are located.

Retired Col. Hameed Ali, Comptroller-General of Customs, on July 3 in Abuja, inaugurated the platform aimed at giving all Nigerians equal opportunities to partake in bidding for seized vehicles and to increase customs’ revenue.

elfmann:
Borrow and lie. Double offence according to IRCC. So with ur likes now, are we openly cool with these..?

Hope15:
Biko my peeps, is it really necessary to include transcripts in the eAPR as part of educational details?
Thanks

Algbenguze:
I seriously doubt it. Ideally, Transcript shouldn't even be in your possession; that's why it's only provided directly by the institution and addressed to a 3rd party.

[quote author=Algbenguze post=58032738]Not true, You are given your transcripts when you graduate in any sane institution . You can include your transcripts if you have it, it was stated in the instruction if you have it, you can upload it. Cheers

Get a dollar card from any bank that has the card. Buy dollars from black market and load it into your card and pay. Its very simple. I use GTB so I have domiciliary account and the Mastercard Dollar Card, no limits for online payments

Saturi:
Please, how can one make payment for the OINP $1500 processing fee? Can either of these banks ATM card suffice cause am aware the request is to use a credit card and as some of us don't have credit cards can the debit card suffice? How have people crossed this hurdle?

Remxyj:
Good afternoon house...
Concerning the the passport photograph requirement, is it really important for the studio to write their name and sign at the back of the photograph? And if yes.... when I'm uploading dose that mean I will scan both the front and back page and merge into a single file?
Secondly, after printing out my bank statement I realized it's too bulky and I'm still gonna merge it with the bank letter; can I make it less than 6months just to make it less Bulky?

@alt3r3g0: you are right. @Remxy: follow the instruction for uploading the passports which says at least 35mm x 45mm...blah blah. It does not require the studio to write their name and sign at the back of the photograph at the POST ITA upload stage.

alt3r3g0:
I thought the studio passport with name behind was only after PPR where you will be required to send a phyical passport.

I just felt I should share to clear some doubts as regards which passport document to attach POST ITA.

Sounds like IP 2....PPR comes like a week after this...all things being equal..so I think you are almost there.

pauloverdi:
and im back with my first question....

I think I remember filling this imm008 for somewhere before... I guess it was when I was filling the sinp form (which I never completed after I got an ita) or after my express entry ITA while filling the application forms. however I don't remember the particular region I selected.
1.can I select a new region as response to the question; where do u intend to live in Canada?
2. whish region is more popular with Nigerian immigrants
3. which region has more job opportunities for people with banking experience and people with heavy duty equipment maintenance experience?
4. is there easy mobility within the regions for new immigrants i.e if I chose Toronto and I want to move to Saskatchewan after my first month, is that possible?

abeg advice this jjc abeg

@pauloverdi, Congratulations! Our PPR will come soonest as well IJN.
