I dont want to make any mistakes. Thanks.

Fill in the new surname.

GBSS:
Please note, this is for change of name due to marriage
So my people, this was how today went. We are hopeful that our system can get better and we all, collectively can fight this fight.
I hope to update you with more information as we progress.
To be continued

So after 2 weeks, my wife and I went back to the immigration office owing to the fact that we were yet to hear from them as they promised.
We got there requested to see the PCO, the guy at the reception queried to get information why We wanted to see the PCO. When I told him, he immediately went to the person in change of name, lost and marriage desk. It happen to be the same officer that collected the application file from us.
After much long talk, he showed me the list that was approved for charge of name with the name of my wife included, which he said came in that same day(the validity of that information I can not verify).
Eventually my wife did her capture and was told she will be informed when her passport is ready.
For us,we have decided that after one week, we are going back there for collection.
The story continues.

[/quote][quote author=COPR2020 post=85113803]This is IDP. BC does not not have such clause and your TRF is not collected from you at the point of requesting for a remark

I think I can also confirm the screen shot by @Steather.
In my opinion, I would assumed that once you apply for EOR, your result is automatically placed on hold. What eventually happens is that most EOR comes out before final decisions are made on any PR application. As such, the upgrade would have been effected or the previous score released for use.
So in either case, even though you can still create a profile with that result and still pass the R10/ completeness screening, your result would not be valid if the PR process (after the completeness check) continues without a final decision on your EOR.
My opinion anyway.

COPR2020:
This is IDP. BC does not not have such clause and your TRF is not collected from you at the point of requesting for a remark

Ok, great. ��

Silversurfer1:
Common knowledge does not equate to an organisations policy or an established, verifiable fact. It's why I asked you to post a link to the part you made in bold. Maybe IDP has that policy but I haven't seen such for BC and it's the first time I've heard about it

Cryptomania:
I think you're misinforming people. It is completely allowed to enter the pool with your IELTS result while you're awaiting your EOR. There's no statement in IRCC or IELTS website that states otherwise.


Please if you find such statement in your findings, paste it here for all to see.

NaijaGoingMaple:
It's a common knowledge. You may check IDP.
That you can improve your scores whilst already in the pool doesn't imply you can use an IELTS under inquiry as it's locked out. You can't use it, but you can register for another IELTS, obtain higher degrees or educational qualifications, take a second language test like TEF, garner additional work experience if less than 3 years, explore PNP and the likes.

I think this screen shot may answer the question.

Congratulations to all the PPR clintchers. May the land favour you. PPR thunder storm, rain can not describe this one...

Wow! This is really fast in a time were people wait for 6 months and above. Congratulations to you and hubby.

Zeewirld:
.Sorry to write that you were too weak and those miscreants took advantage of that.

How can he asked you to come back for interview/capturing on a future date when you were EXPLICITLY given the date after payment??

I'd advise you go back to the office and tell him to process your documents or you would take it up with him

Thank you for your comment.
However, it is important to note that it is standard practice to submit application and be notified for date of capture after the application has been approved. Please note, this is for change of name due to marriage and not renewal without any modification. Except you are saying you have submitted application for change of name due to marriage the same day and did capture the same day. Because that would imply that the people in charge of their twitter handle and servicom Abuja do not know the right procedures.
Please if your experience is different, please let me know. Many thanks

author=NeneSisi post=84707018]Hello Fellow Nairalanders,

I am glad to say it's PPR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am super thankful, especially as this journey tested both faith and resilience.

Congratulations. Wow! What a journey.

kelechiodo:
Huh

I am sorry to say this but you messed up a bit. You would have read page 75 on how I handled them. You should have waited for your interview date and insist on doing the capturing that day. Nobody will send you information to come for capturing, lai lai.

Hello bro/sis,
There is no “messed up” there. Ours was change of name due to marriage and not just renewal with all your details.
Contacted different officers, Lagos and Abuja. I even twitted at them to get the correct information that change of name due to marriage comes from Abuja, but application is made in there passport offices across the country. Yours is different, yours was renewal without change of anything. For change of name, on their website, it states that it takes 5 days for processing and 72 hours after capture to receive your passport.
Also, I read your story very well. All the same, thanks you for your comment.

Please note, this is for change of name due to marriage
So today, my wife and I decided to do it ourselves. After receiving outrageous prices from different immigration officers, who were suppose to help us get a new passport for my wife reflecting her marital name, we developed righteous anger and decided to do it ourselves.
First we contacted an immigration officer at FESTAC who was to do the passport for 40k. On getting there, my wife was left to herself to do everything even with a young child. She got feed up and left there without processing it. But before leaving, she her silently got everything needed for her to apply for change of name. Please note that the procedure for change of name due to marriage is slightly different from renewal without any change in basis data, you can verify this on their website
Tuesday we made payment and selected Alausa office as against FESTAC, because the immigration officer kept saying the approval will come from Alausa. Why go through hell, when you can land in heaven with a direct flight?
I placed a call through to servicom and had the buy in to go before our date for interview. So, today we left for Alausa, went straight to servicom as was often said here. Was directed to the appropriate section.
On meeting with the officer, a slight drama wanted to play out, but my disposition to everyone told them I was not in for playing hide and seek. The officer wanting to send us back because of the interview date, but with a gentleness, I referred to my previous call to servicom and he obliged.
Then the full drama started.
He called a guy to help arrange our documents. I was very apprehensive but after several questions to the boy, it was clear he was just to help arrange the document with the file and gum the passport photographs to the forms, we sha gave him 1k. Then on reaching to the officer, we were told our photocopy of the newspaper publication of change of name was not clear. At this point, my disposition has fully changed but I was feasible calm. The office said he will not proceed without a clear copy, this is after I had printed a coloured copy. At this point, with was obvious beside the photocopy, he wanted something and was using this as a guise. I then asked him to give me back my file and I will comeback when I am ready. The guy no gree. I told my wife to talk to him, because at this point, I was already angry. She came back with no success. I then asked to see the PCO. Nice guy, spoke to him, he calmed me down and told me what to do.
Fortunely, I was now ready to wear my thinking cap. Had to go to the Gani Fawehinmi library, paid 2.1k to get the newspaper publication and made clear copies, as we could not find our original copy and only came with a printed scanned copy.
Returned and submitted the new document. Then the guy starting preaching about, sending it and not sending it for approval to Abuja. The cost, the “administrative fee” etc. I just told him I don’t have any money for all of that. I asked him when we are to come for data capture, with an obvious irritation, he said I have to be coming to know when we are ready for data capture.
I just told my wife to go talk to him, as he claims to come from my wife’s town. She came back and told me he had done some signing on it and informed her that a message will be sent to her to notify her for data capture.
So my people, this was how today went. We are hopeful that our system can get better and we all, collectively can fight this fight.
I hope to update you with more information as we progress.

REDBULL1:
Let me get you clearly please, does one have to pay application fee and rprf for non-accompanying spouse? I already know I'll have to provide things pcc, medicals and biometrics. Your response will be highly appreciated.

I do not think that non-accompanying spouse would pay for application fee and RPRF for obvious reasons.
But you can do more research with information on IRCC website using their FAQ section.

glitchyyy:
No one has helped with my case..

I was just thinking to myself, what’s the reason for considering adding your spouse as non-accompanying when clearly you have nothing to loose.
For the EE process, I believe whatever citizenship you hold, you will need a PR card to be able to live in Canada including US citizens. As a US citizen, you are only allowed to stay in Canada for 90 days, except you hold other documentation which may be allowed.
Except your husband is not willing to live in Canada, then you may have to explain that in an LOE as I do not think a holder to select if your spouse will be non-accompanying will be provided.
In view of the above, I would suggest you do the payment and anticipate providing other requirements that may be asked of you.
I hope it helps

Tina26:
we did not fill in the wrong or fake age. So don't bother us . Better decline the ITA and go sort either one out

Hello nairalanders, it’s really important we remain very civil in our responses to comments. Many of us strongly subscribe to encouraging people to do personal research, if someone comes with a question(s) that may have already been answered, just direct the person to the appropriate actions or just ignore the comment.
While we understand that some people may have done some wrong things or made some wrong decisions in the past that have the potential to affect their EE process, you are not here to be the judge of their life’s. If you know your response will be abusive, just ignore the comment. The last time I checked, nairaland comments don’t come to us as notifications. You will have to go from page to page to read comment. So please in the name of whatever you believe, be civil.
Our desires of COPR will definitely be granted by God’s grace.
Have a beautiful day my people.

Congratulations to you. Newbies, take note of the bolded part of the last paragraph. Very very “importanter”

oladamilola:
Good morning yard people, I'm an ardent but silent follower of this trend. I would like the experts in the house to help give clarity on this issue bothering my mind; My CRS score is 412 at the moment, though, I'm doing all I can to boost it. In the interim, I intend to create the Express Entry profile for any possibilities of PNP while I continue working hard on boosting my CRS score. I would like to confirm If I can add my spouse later on after my CRS score as increased before ITA. We plan to get married early next year but I believe my CRS score would have been boosted before then.

A clearer response will be well appreciated.

Thank you.

It’s a good thing that you are thinking of boosting your scores. My advice, if you have your IELTS results and your ECA go ahead and create your profile. As regards adding your ”intending spouse” if you can plan your wedding to come after you have gotten AOR, that would be your best shot as adding spouse after AOR would not affect your score in away. However, in the case were life most go on and you got to do what you got to do, then marry. Plan to get your spouse to write IELTS and do ECA. If the spouse is younger with more chances of getting ITA, the spouse can even create their own profile.
_{This is my one kobo contribution}.

Yes I have received an invitation to apply to a job on job bank. I reviewed the organization and decided to apply. I am yet to receive any reply from them though. Just make sure you do your background check. Google is always your friend.

Wes no dey hear 'abeg'

Bro, the info you gave is now obsolete. WES no longer needs the WAEC or NECO as part of its requirement. What he needs is to send the degree certificate via fax. There are several apps that allows you to fax for free including the new adobe reader.

Nukkiz:
Hello guys.... Please, in a case where the wife is the PA but the POF is in the husbands account, what should be done, Pls.

Get a letter from husband stating the relationship with an LOE stating that you have access to funds, attach SOA. And of course your marriage certificate would be place in the placeholder, which will establish the relationship, I think that should do.

Hello house am a military officer and want to migrate to canada with my family.. how is easy is it as a military man. Am in IT and have like 7 years work experience. After passing IELTS general what is my chance of scaling through. Also if I dont want to get reference from the military can I use a notary for it? God bless

Use the CRS tools and simulate your possible score. It involves more than perfect IELTS scores. Read about the experience of others that could not get reference letter in the other parts. Because of your military background, I think your background check fit long o... but it’s just my opinion.
