Hi Garykasparov, not heard from you in a while. How did u settle? Did you eventually go for CPA as BlackBuddy advised or you went the marketing angle. How has it been getting a job? Did you eventually settle at Kitchener or Waterloo?

Blackbuddy:
Hi, hope the above gives you some pointers.

Can we use this to create express entry profile while we 're -write the exams? Using the crs tool with this scores we have 424 points. What do you advice.

Thank you all

Hello everyone, please I need advice..

About 3 years ago, I got a one-month visa to Angola but I overstayed by a year and 7 months. I ended up leaving on my own.

Presently, I intend using a new passport for my EE application. I hope to do a new passport soon claiming that the old one got lost. However, because the lost passport was electronic, I hear the number will appear on my new passport. My questions are:

1) Even though I'm using a fresh passport, is it advisable to on my own tell cic about the overstay? Will it make them reject my application?
2) If I decide to keep it secret, is there a way they can find out? I hear they can give up to 5years ban for misrepresentation.

Advice needed please. Thanks.

PLEASE AM YET TO GET A RESPONSE



I have questions while i await ITA hopefully....
1) when i was much younger my mum used my stepdad lastname to apply for us visa for me, i got d visa and used it a couple of times to us and also to uk, all this was before i was 18yrs old.
When i was older i did an affidavit of change of name to my real name. I also mention it wheneva i fill all these embassy forms dat i ve at some point used another name.
My confusion is if i should also mention it for the canny runs and would an affidavit pass for evidence of change of name...
Note: i dont have newspaper publication for the initial change and the only passport i have in that name has only my uk visa in it,the previous trips to us is not there as the passport got burnt in a fire incident... I have an affidavit to that effect listing the passport as one of the lost documents.
2) my current passport is in my maiden name... Do i have to get a new one with my marital name for canada. I use this passport for us and dubai travels with the family.
3) @dupsychoo please can i get a copy of your loe... Pleaseeeeeeee
4) i am claiming points for working at lagos state internal revenue service. Should it be under personal or government?
@dupsychoo @boldinc @vcole and all the wonderful gurus... Cant remember your handles.

Hello house! Just want clarifications. I have aBSc from one university and an MBBS degree (Medici e/surgery) from another university. I saw in an earlier post that a Pharmacist did not need WES to evaluate his degree instead its the pharmacy council in Canada. Can I use WES for both degrees(may save cost-2 stones to kill 1 bird) or I need to evaluate my MBBS with the physician and surgeons council of Canada, then evaluate my BSc separately with WES or just evaluate only the MBBS which may score higher on CRS?
I feel using both degrees will increase my scores . although I'm applying for Canadian Masters now. Thanx

You seem to know the answer to your question, but the cost involved is what make you still ask . Anyways, WES can not evaluate both degrees, and sorry, you can not use one stone to kill the two birds, the birds are not mate neither are they close to each other. Yes, you are right, MBBS is evaluated by the aforementioned body and will increase your CRS, albeit, quite expensive.
However, if you have projected a good score using your BSC alone, then you can just evaluate that and be in the pool.

Hi Guys, Under my personal history, I have just two items. My present work: where I ll clock ten years in a few months and a twelve months period when I was unemployed. Kindly recall tht the period under reference is always from ones 18th birthday or from the past ten years. I find it rather strange that I have only two items in mine considering I'm accounting for activities in the past ten years only ? Is it ok?

Babachi:
have u tried snapping with ur phone

dupyshoo:
I think so. I made the statement cos most of the people that did not get their PPR within 6 months had worked with government or military before. They made enquiries and realised that it was security checks that delayed their applications cos they had to do further security checks on them. I am guessing maybe to ensure they are not government spies.

Please note that, I am not saying this was the case for everyone that had ever worked with government. It also depends on where your application is processed and your country of residence. Most of the people that fell victim of this had their application processed in Ottawa. Some of them have waited for over a year and are still waiting.

dupyshoo:
This is not correct. The only exception is age. IELTS has to be valid till AOR.

temitope06:
When submitting your application, your IELTS must still be valid. That's all. If you submit on Monday, your ielts can expire on Tuesday, doesn't matter as long as it was still valid when you submitted.
