Thanks @ Henry
Another question o! in the question for stating assets and liabilities, do i need to provide evidence of that too or all i need to do is just state what is my total assets and liabilites

Just convert your total proof of funds to canadian dollars and put in the figure in the assets column and total column.
The evidence is your proof of fund (either statement of account and/or your investment certificate)

laraode:
Good morning house

I have a very urgent and pressing question.
what suffice as a proof of funds?
must you provide a fixed deposit letter or your printed statements will just do?

pls help

Either of the two, or both together. Depends on how much you have in either. If one has enough funds in one to meet the required amount, then you don't need the other.

I finally mailed my applications yesterday through courier (DHL). It cost me #21,550! It takes 5 working days to get to Canada.


...but I found out I did not declare any asset or liabilities. I only stated the settlement funds required. Does it affect anything?

Thanks.

I thought it was quite high too. I sent mine just over a week ago for just N12,800. by DHL too. but it wasn't bulky sha.
Congrats. You will surely sail through
Goodluck

Surely,every application received till 31st December and stamped in will be processed according to the 26th april,2014 gazette.
Any applications received after CIC lock their office on 31st will no longer be considered.
Since your application is already received,all prayers will be that nothing goes wrong with the application and I believe you will sail through.
Hoping to rejoice with your good news when the time come.
Cheers.

Thank you sir. I also hold that faith I will sail through.
I forsee the Express Entry system not lasting long.

damkollins:
New gazette overriding the federal skilled worker gazette released on 26th April,2014.
This was just released today .........
http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2014/2014-12-01-x10/html/extra10-eng.php
We'll know more about it in the coming weeks.
Cheers.

I guess this definitely put an end to the argument about when the current FSWP ends. It ends 31st December 2014, which eventually paves way for the Express Entry to kick off in January.
Too bad, as I thought the current system is easier and offers better opportunity.
I would expect CIC to start turning down or close receipt of applications with immediate effect.
I guess some of us who sent in late and are expecting to be charged should just be on our intense praying mode.
My application was sent November 26.
OR I could be wrong. CIC could accept applications till end of the year.

laraode:
Good afternoon and happy sunday to all.

I have another question, my IELTS results has another passport number, which is different from the passport i will be using to apply, this is becasue the old passport expired in September and i am using a fresh one to apply.

How do i go about this? do i need to do a formal declaration explaining the reason?

please help

thanks

I don't think that should be a big problem.
Just fill your form using the new passport and attach a letter explaining the change in passport.
Besides, the date on the new one will show that you renewed, even if you don't attach any letter.
But to be on a safe side and to put your mind at rest, just write a letter and explain.
Goodluck sir!

Greetings wonderful people. I see we are gradually getting there with all the good news on PER, CC, MR, PPR and CoPR. I pray we all get to the finish line in spectacular fashion in Jesus name. Amen.

I would like to use this time to announce to the house the arrival of my PPR. Please join me in thanking God. He is wonderful!

A quick question please; in the PPR i got this message-
"☐ Updated family information: you must advise us of any change in your marital status or family composition. All family members must be listed on your IMM8 application form.Failure to comply may result in a delay in the issuance of your visa."

The true interpretation is what i am seeking. I believe they are just asking me to send the "Generic Application Form IMM008ENU" which i filled during the initial application with or without any new updates along with the passports. Please seniors advise is needed urgently! Thanks.

I believe so. They just want to know if your status have changed in terms of marital status or if you have a new child, changes generally.
You can repeat the same information and passport documents if no changes have occurred since the first application.
Congrats and goodluck!

crazyinlove:
Hi Guys,
Please I was wondering. Can one use two statement of account for this application. For instance, one for your own account and another for your spouse account....

Sure!
You are married. As long as the name on the statement of account bear the same name you filled for her in the forms and also same on the marriage certificate.
Good luck!

zaliya:
Hi
My hubby has an age declaration document instead of a birth certificate. Must it be notarized?

Secondly can I use a different address for the self addressed labels (am thinking of using company address). This is quite different from the address I filled out on the forms.

Lastly, are these just labels or envelops?
Since English is our official language, the 2 labels/envelops should both be in EnglisH?

Thanks

I would advise you use the same address you filled in the forms for the self addressed labels.
For the label, take a plain paper (preferably an A4 size), cut it into two equal parts and write your details on them.
Use english language please.
Good luck!

zeelo2014:
you will definitely meet up.

Yea thanks. I continue to keep the faith

UPDATE!!!

Total received toward the overall cap: 9,939 of 25,000

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/complete-applications.asp

Omo 0111 has gotten to over 300 and my package never reach. On my knees praying now.

guy1234:
Here's the shot of my app. In 12a and 12b
Pls notice the omission in 12b under occupation : hope it's not going to hurt me?

When did you submit?
Seems the form has changed now.
Anyone who hasn't submitted yet should always check the website for recent forms.
I would even advise that the forms should be filled and printed the same week the package is to be sent.
Cheers!

omonade11:
really good question. so in my husband's form, he is the principal applicant/ are you sure?? I AM THE PRINCIPAL APPLICANT. wont it contradict both forms?

"The principal applicant, their spouse or common-law partner(if applicable), and all dependant children 18 years of age or older must complete their own copy of this form"

The form stated applicant , not principal applicant (please note this). This means that the person to fill the form must identify as applicant. Your husband must fill in as the applicant and you the spouse, though principal applicant, will be in the spouse column.
The essence of the form is to capture details of each member's family details.

If you have children, each child will fill the form as applicants while you and your husband will be filled as father and mother.

zaliya:
Hi all,

On the additional family information filled by my spouse, does he become the applicant while I become the spouse on his own form

Note: I am the Principal Applicant

Thanks

Yes ma!

ferdimako:
Can u get a ref number without payment?

Yes sir, you can.
I registered in June and I got a reference number. I only started my processing in October and that was when i paid.
I guess my early registration aided the speed of my assessment.

damkollins:
Yes...
The address is correct.....will be at the middle of the envelope.
Don't forget your name,address and postal code at the top left corner of the same envelope.
Wish you the best.
Cheers.

Yes I did. Thanks.

My ECA came by post yesterday since oct 15th that it was sent (that is about 35 days). Unfortunately, I had ordered another copy from WES which I got on monday. I guessed I should have exercised more patience.
Well, I am ready to send my application.
Just to be sure, is the address below correct. I am sending by courier.

solomonwis:
Your question is well understood.

No need adding WAEC, send the same documents you sent to the approved ECA agency. This is because your details will be verified with the agency and if you include documents that's not part of the assessment,they might begin another round of verification on the additional document (depending on the case officer). The idea is not to delay the processing of your application.

All documents are subject to scrutiny by the case officer.

Alright! Now I understand better.

rhiri:
Good morning house. I'm new to this forum. Just stumbled upon it yesterday. I was very happy to discover this helpful forum.
I just decided to apply for the fswp and I need a few clarification. Please pardon me if this question has been asked over and over again....it's not possible to go through all the threads on this forum, though I tried, I couldn't.

I want to claim education points using my masters degree, because of the delays inherent in our Nigerian institutions, I decided....based on advise seen on this forum... to ignore sending my B.SC to WES for assessment to prevent delays. I need confirmation on the below.

1.) Though my B.SC will not be assessed by WES, do I still have to send it and my WEAC results along side my EAC for my M.SC. with my application to CIC, or just the EAC for my M.SC?
2.) I don't see anywhere on the instruction guide to get your institutions to send your transcripts directly to CIC... what I see now is to include copies of my certificates and transcripts with my application...please confirm this is the case

Thank you house. Awaiting a quick and favorable response.

1. Yes, you will need to send your WAEC, BSC, MSC and ECA along with your application to CIC
2. If you don't have your transcript, no need to worry and delay, just send your credentials and ECA to CIC.

ferdimako:
When u know ur forms have been moved to Accra after PER. You contact them and do the needful with documents, she fills out her forms and u guys pay around d same u paid. Just read up.

]

Yea, got you.
Thanks for the clarification.

ferdimako:
AVO is aware of pple like u and it will never at any stage affect ur app. Just inform them when appropriate and pay her fees. NYSC doesn't mean match... not that u handled arms and ammunition.

Yea, Thanks Ferdimako.
"Just inform them when appropriate and pay her fees"- Can you explain more on that please.

damkollins:
Thanks for head-up...
I'm actively involved in too many forums and I need to individually notify different groups/forum.
Its official...I got my Passport request around 10.46 am Nigerian time....15 days validity period to submit.
I pray that more of this good news will roll in on this thread.
Nevertheless,I'm always around with this family and will always share in your Joyful news and will always give my little advice when needed/requested.
Thanks for your prayers and wishes.
Cheers.

Congrats man!

damkollins:
Congrats buddy.
Immediately after registry,you will inform Accra visa office of your spouse and they will tell you of what to do.
[b]Hopefully ,you won't get medical request before January .....
Congrats once again .
Cheers[/b],

- What if he receives medical request before the registry? Does it affect the notification to Accra?
- Is it a must I include NYSC in paramilitary training? I didn't serve where I was posted, I came back to Lagos to continue work. Only went to collect my certificate.

Thanks

ferdimako:
Brand new one not a duplicate right?

Yea, brand new one, i guess. Though I don't know what a new one looks like.

Finally i got my Evaluation report from WES this morning. I had to order for another one, this time by courier.
Now I can go ahead and send my package.
God help me
Does anyone here care to help scrutinise my package before I send?

Good day peeps,

Under the form (Additional Family Information (IMM 5406)), do I fill in my father, mother and siblings' details, as I am not married yet?


OR should I fill in only my details and ignore the the rest.
A bit confused here as the application guide pointed dependants being one's own family (i.e wife and kids).

Hey guys,
I am worried and scared to my pants now. I haven't gotten my WES report and its been 21 days.
Should I just go ahead and order a duplicate by courier? That's the only thing remaining for me
My NOC 0111 must not fill up before mine o.

ferdimako:
I hope u used a clear-cut receivable address. If u demand another set, WES may charge u and u pay for the courier mode.

Yeah I did! I live in Ojota which is one of the most popular and accessible places in Lagos.
I don't think I have any other choice but to request for a duplicate if I am to meet up before 0111 fills up.

Danchiks:
I think it took like 10days before I got mine from WES.

Yours took 10 days, did you receive through NIPOST? Mine is over 23 days now. I want to wait till the end of the week. If I dont see anything, I will request a duplicate from WES.

But does CIC accept duplicate?

mercylicious:
You are very correct. Mine is over a year now and it is nowhere to be found. Status on wes shows mail has been delivered to a foreign country while nipost said they have not gotten it. I may have to pay for courier anytime i need the ECA.

@ferdimako and solomonwise, nice to see you guys are keeping the thread alive. hear the processing speed is now very fast. I just hope the ban on issue of visa to nigeria doesnt affect ppl processing theirs now.

Over a year! Wow! I knew I should have squeezed that extra change for courier. Everything is ready except for the WES report. I guess I will have to order a duplicate by courier. But will the duplicate suffice for CIC?
