No one is above mistake: even a VO knows that.

An immigration lawyer knows better and can use legal terms to defend your mistake (if you did).

Nevertheless, if you already replied them without some form of legal backing, all the best and hope for a better answer from them.

Kc4all:


They gave me 5days to reply to this concern, which i have done. I have to fill another application form for work permit because the VFS officer said i should show what i have been doing in the past 10yrs, so i have to go down the cafer to use there computer to fill in a new form. I was so sure i filled in Yes on the section have you been refused a visa before, my daughter and wife was refused a UK visa and daughter a Canada visitor visa before my wife left for Canada. If i can declare my daughter own why wont i be able to declare mine. I replied them with a copy of my initial application form that the VFS guy rejected showing i replied YES to the question. if i mistakenly choose NO, it think it was duo to mistake because i was in a hurry to meet up with time.

i praying the visa officer forgive me without a ban for 5yrs....I already ask him/her to forgive me. This evening i have been thinking to go relax my friday with some cool drink in the top bar in shoprite ikeja, this people just kill my moral

He never said common law though! Being 'engaged' is not a relationship status in Canada without any LEGAL paper.

Besides, to qualify for common law is not just about living together. Paper work is needed as proof.

iamosamede55:

Common law. It's a relationship status which mean two people of same or opposite who are ina congugal relationship living together for over a year. Being engaged qualifies as a common law

When you say you indicated on your online application that you were engaged, i'm not really sure what option you chose as your marital status.

Anyways, if you got married before your study permit was approved (while your application was still in process), please let IRCC know before you leave Nigeria.

If after approval you got married, also let them know before you leave Nigeria.

Hi everyone here, I have study visa and I will be traveling soon.
I was only engaged when I was filling my online application and I filled it as such, just early this year, I got married.

This depends on if you meet the Express Entry requirement. Since you are married, you may need about 3 years work experience, good IELTS result (for you and/or your wife), and your age group. Those are just the basics. Please check the Express Entry forum for more info:

For sure you need to be licensed in Nigeria but it also has nothing to do with PR process.

Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by Gymme(m): 8:52pm On Feb 17, 2017
Lol...bros, where is your proof oo?

I did the process for my wife (till she got ECA report) and i can tell you that you DON'T need to be licensed before getting PR. You only need to evaluate your degree through physiciansapply.ca using SVR, then proceed with the other steps.

To get licensed in a province as an IMG, i believe you know that one needs to write atleast MCCEE (depending on the province and the new regulations coming up soon 2018/2019)?

So bro, for this PR thingy, you don't need to write any MCC licensing exam. Just pay the fees at different stages to getting your ECA report from MCC.

Heloo bosd
You mentioned that doctors don't need to be licensed before getting PR?
That is not true. You wouldn't even get across SVR. NOT TO TALK OF SVR.

Wow! If this is how they evaluate ICAN, then it is unfair to the noble profession.

40manlappy:
@SlowlybtSurely, Gymme, Wunmimi, Bimpsy99

cheesy grin

Thanks for your concern. We are not evaluating WAEC!

Sometime April/May last year, my wife requested for an assessment of her ACA. They further requested for her Senior School Certificate. Note that they specifically requested for this and we complied but still no response for them. Negative feedbacks about them in respect of ICAN qualifications also made us not to exert energy in that direction.

She has actually "forgotten" about it until recently when she got their mail that they have accepted her ICAN qualifications for assessment but she should get WAEC to send the documents directly to them.

If you meet the requirements and other suggestions people have given you about possible cause for your profile ineligibility, then the possible problem could be JOB BANK REGISTRATION.

Have you registered for job bank after creating your profile? If not, your EE profile is incomplete and it would say 'profile ineligible' after some time.

mrsJustveryOkay:
Okay, noted.
Pls I just discovered another thing with my sister now, I'm not up to 1yr on current job but 6+ more (overall). Could this be a reason for my ineligibility?

Why WAEC bro?

40manlappy:
My wife has a pending assessment with WES.

Please see reason provided by WES as the cause of the delay below;

"The document was not received from the institution or the appropriate examining body that awarded the degree/diploma as required by WES."

This was their further instruction: "Please arrange for your academic documents to be sent directly to WES by the institution or examining body that awarded your degree/diploma."

Has anyone been able to get WAEC to send their examination results for the Senior School Certificate directly to WES?

Does WAEC respond to enquiries from foreign assessment bodies the way our universities issues transcripts?

Any useful contacts at WAEC please?

These documents are overloaded sef. Lol. Since your hubby has a PGWP, my questions would be is his work in NOC O, A or B and full time? Also, hope his letter of employment has details like his job position (i believe), his hours, and states it is full time? If not, he should get a recent letter from his employer stating those cogent points and/or point that out in his LOE supporting your application. He could also include utility bills (phone and/or internet) that have his name on it. This is to prove his residential address in Canada.

As a PGWP holder, no bank statement is needed really. Pay slips are enough proof of funds. That's what i also did (no bank statements). Nevertheless, there is no harm including it/them.

Travel / Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Gymme(m): 8:26pm On Feb 06, 2017
SOWP is just a type of Open Work Permit and not a different, specific application form called SOWP. To apply for your spouse, your status in Canada is needed (Student or Worker?) majorly. As such, they want a proof of your status in Canada. If you are a student, you only need to provide your study permit but if you are a work, you need to provide your work permit and documents proving that you meet the requirements of the job (you are doing in Canada) in NOC O, A or B.

As per funds, there is no specified amount on the CIC website but people usually use their discretion. However, if you are a worker in Canada, you could provide your previous (3 or more) payslips. That is what i did and required by CIC for workers.

iamosamede55:
Does CIC require a certain amount of funds for the SOWP? is the form for Open work permit different from that of SOWP? I am asking because i saw somewhere they were asking for proof that you meet the requirements of the job? i just want to be sure i am on the right page

Beautiful British Columbia just released its first PNP ITA for 2017. For those that might be interested, it probably favors inland applicants more. Outland applicants can give it a try so as to see if you would meet the cut off point for any of the categories.

I'm not sure if you attached your husband's new study permit to the email you sent to Accra or not but that is what i will do if i were you.

You could also attach the new study permit to a CSE (Case Specific Enquiry). Since you applied online, it will be sent to the responsible visa office on your behalf.

I will do both methods. No harm!

"Application in queue" could mean 'Dem never touch your application for now'.

Psalt:


My open work permit application whic i did in july 2016 is based on the study permit given to my husband which will expire on the 3rd of March, 2017. However my husband's study permit has been renewed and the new expiry date is 31st of July, 2020.

I mailed Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) seeking advice on how to update d new document only to get a response a week later frm a lady dat I shuld make a new application n put d new information. I should do a new application after waiting for 25wiks TUFIAKWA

So, I mailed the immigration office in Ghana and got a reply saying

"Please be advised that your application is still in queue for review. No further action is required by you at this moment. You will be contacted once a decision is made.
We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum"

People, Kindly advise on what to do, so also, does anyone have an idea of what dt statement "in queue for a review" mean cos I don't understand all dos English anymore?
Thank you.

I tried signing up for job bank but got stuck because they didn't send any validation email, had to leave it

I know ITA don't come early in the day but why these error/mishap? Could it be because I couldn't sign up to job bank yesterday?

Should I wait? Or simply ignore and fill a new EE profile?

1. It is advisable to change marital status (get married) AFTER submitting your PR application then include your spouse in the application afterwards. No degree/no certificate of trade will put your scores down.

2. It is possible to bring a spouse here but the processing time is longer. The type of application is called Family Sponsorship.


Amakyzuu:
i must commend all the contributors on the group. i would like to begin my journey soon (say February when i write my IELTS)... LAUTECH has been on strike so i cant do my WES evaluation for now and thats what has been slowing me down. i also hope to finish my M.Sc in March or April so my points can boost up. so here comes my question.

1. if i were to be married at the time of application, that would mean my spouse will be the dependent. Now he doesn't have a degree at all but has more than 7years experience in the navy, would that bring my score down? (his score is quite low 200 and something from the ranking template)
2. if i were to be single at the time of application and eventually i am lucky to relocate. how long would it take me to file for him to join me as a husband and citizen? is that even possible for candidates of EE.
Thanks

Since you've submitted your application, it is no more called upfront medical. As such, you would have to wait until you are asked to by CIC.

Ceekoneal:
Just a question is it still possible to do upfront medicals after the application has been submitted or just wait?
Travel / Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Gymme(m): 4:25pm On Jan 06, 2017
You've got two options. One way is to email the additional documents to Accra.

The other way is by using Web Form (NO NEED to log in to your CIC online account to do this). The web form process will ask for your application number, UCI number, applicant's full name etc. You also have the choice to attach additional documents during this process before you finally submit your inquiry.

jpepper:


@Gymme, please can you provide guidance on how to do update the application with new docs online? I tried to do that but could not find an option to update application or add more documents. Thanks
