Dears pls I need your advice. 55% of POF is Gift Deed and I left instruction with my bank to place all POF in Treasury Bills. That's Over a week now and they are yet to initiate the transaction. To forestall further delay, can I just use the regular bank reference and SOA and maybe I can raise CSE for Treasury Bills when bank eventually do?

It's a wrong time to procrastinate. Early 2019 draws might be north of 450 if invites drop to the regular 2500 - 3000.

joo2018:
For the sake of our brethren here, I really hope CIC isn't trying to keep the figure high.

A simple calculation shows that as at Friday, 3,466 were already on 441 and above. That should have made a case for Monday draw at 440/441. they now waited till Wednesday.

On the flip side, looks like the high points surge has eased a bit. Was a bit concerned we will be going above 450.

Great work bro. That was some test of nerve.

My interview story: conducted on September 18, 2018 in Accra.

My interview was for 10am and I got there at 9:20. The security goes through all your bags and takes every electronic device including your chargers. She took my electric toothbrush even.
Then you walk through a metal detector and then go back to her to collect the rest of your stuff that she hasn’t kept in a locker. She will then direct you to another security post where you write your name and purpose and collect a visitor badge. Then you are directed to the waiting room for interviews.
You are to immediately go to the window and drop your documents then go and sit down. There’s a toilet, a water dispenser and a TV that no one turned on.

Anyway, I’m happy and waiting and I know that God is making my way perfect in Canada while I wait. And several times during that interview, I wanted to give up, she just kept attacking me, but I asked myself, if you don’t fight for this, what will you fight for? So I fought back. I fought one more round.

Abeg I need answers ooo.

Please, which exchange rate is tenable to CIC?

Please, which exchange rate is tenable to CIC?

When I saw Teecan’s 60% of POF is 25% of Pension Fund. My jaw just dropped. Congrats bro!

No!!!!!!!!!!!!

449 !!!

The effect of extra 4 days beyond regular

With an extra 2 days after the regular fortnight? Sub 440 for this draw might be a bridge too far.

predicting CRS score of 438-439 today so that our comrades within that score range who have been in pool since about First quarter of this year can also smile

Hi All,

I took the IELTS exam on Oct 27th for the first time and below are my results:

Listening: 9.0
Reading: 9.0
Speaking: 9.0
Writing: 7.5

I spent less than 5 hours in total preparing for this exam and I focused only on speaking & writing as I was told those were the difficult sections.

I only watched YouTube videos and recommend the IELTS videos by Jay for writing & IELTS videos by Liz for speaking.

Also for writing make sure to use FANBOYS (For/As/Nor/But/Or/Yet/So) in addition to the complex words Jay will give you.

Good Luck!!!

If only una fit get each other address on nairaland, some people go don go beat people up for their house. Olohun!

Your caption is wrong.

The expression on Buhari's face is that of someone who can't evaluate his credentials for ECA because the certificates are with the military. The madam tell am make im try skill trades route.

Canadian Governor general informing Buhari that more Nigerians are needed in Canada. we can tell from her gesture

Kikikikikikiki...................emotional support.

aworldcitizen:
Hello All,

I am still awaiting PPR.

I will like my mother to travel with us for at least 6 weeks. Basicly for emotional support.

Please seniors that have processed visiting visa for their mum, how did you go about it.

She is a retired nurse and is not working at the moment.

My husbaand and I will be sponsoring her 100%.

Thank you.

While you are waiting sir, can you adopt me as your younger brother?

Topsmamen:
Lmao! You guys are cracking me up . Bro Ramj, mehn, as a Senior/Chief Bachelor, I have been waiting for the universe to tilt "her" in my direction but the universe no gree. So i'm chilling until our paths cross

My brother no o. I no just want wahala

raphrulz:
LMAO!! Have u given up on PF already??

*Makes U-turn en route ARM pension*

Tojued:
Once any aspect of your application triggers 'review required', e don comot Ottawa be that. Using pension funds I think triggers review required for pof.

Great find! The burning question then is what makes an application simple or complex?

joo2018:
VO and timelines analysis of Nigerian EE PR applications based on idle time spent ghosting CIC websites and several online forums.

1. Based on policy and technology, IRCC has worked out a system for meeting the EE service standard of treating 80% of applications within 6 months and still maintaining program integrity. It involves maximizing the capacity of the flagship office (CPC-Ottawa) for simple applications and utilizing local VOs that are familiar with foreign nationals culture for complex applications.

2. During R10 completeness check at CIO Sydney, applications are assessed using an "application triage criteria" into low risk, simple applications and high risk, complex applications. Details of this criteria are not available in the public domain but it seems to involve algorithms in the EE electronic system and manual evaluations by officers.

3. Simple Nigerian applications are sent to CPC-Ottawa for routine processing. This involves use of internal vetting procedures and takes 1-6 months based on the number of internal reviews needed and how fast it takes sister organisations (CBSA, CSIS and RCMP) to do their admissibility screenings. If during processing, it was discovered that the application was too complex to be handled by CPC-Ottawa, it is sent back to CIO or to local VOs for processing.

4. Complex Nigerian applications are technically supposed to be sent to Accra VO for processing as the office is more conversant with Nigerian cultural peculiarities. However, due to the high number of Nigerians applying for EE PR, Accra VO's capacity is inadequate and so "workload distribution" is applied and Nigerian applications are also sent to London VO and more recently Kiev VO. Some Nigerians in other online forums have reported their applications being treated at Pretoria and Nairobi VOs.

5. At the VOs, CIO Sydney's low risk /high risk assessments are reviewed. If the case officer disagrees with the high risk assessment, the application is treated using local routine procedures. The processing timeline for this type of application is generally 3-7 months. The local routine procedures of the London VO is generally known to be the most thorough.

6. If the case officer agrees with CIO's assessments, program integrity measures are applied and the application is not treated within the 6 months service standard. Because of capacity constraints and high degree of thorough vetting required, an application can stay long in the processing queue and it can take months before it is attended to. Processing timelines is between 7-24 months.

7. It is worth noting that delay in processing is not only from IRCC. CBSA, CSIS and RCMP can apply deep security screening based on their own operating procedures. Until the sister bodies finish their checks, final admissibility decisions cannot be taken.

NB: These are my personal opinions and can only be verified by IRCC.

Father forgive me, I know many times I can be ungrateful.

Owlette:
My dear. I know ur moniker well well and I still never enter pool congrats on your ppr.

I think so!!!! That's 1:11 pm Naija time. I updated the profile exactly 12:04pm Naija time which is 11:04 UTC. No rough play o.

daks01:
I don't think so, it says:
Date and time of round: October 15, 2018 at 12:11:46 UTC

Updated our profile 12pm Nigerian time, was that too late for this ITA?

Finally!!!

God did it!
MOD IDP LRWS - 8.5, 8.0, 7.0, 8.0
CRS stands at 447. What a relief!

Thanks for clearing this. Also, the part where you input the date when you first qualify to practise under the chosen NOC doesn’t have anything to do with your points calculation. You will still get a full 25 points even if you enter 2018 as the date inasmuch as your Work Experience spans the required 3 years.

joo2018:
1. No need to be that concerned. The law states (point 1) that the employment requirements may not be strictly adhered to. Anyway, you are a graduate applying for NOC A. A graduate is a graduate.

2. Plenty of people have gotten PPR with NOC employment requirements mismatch including @Newmum0615 (studied engineering and is in finance) and most people claiming NYSC for points.

3. Case officers are human beings too and may apply added scrutiny if they feel something is off with the application.

4. Added scrutiny doesn't necessarily lead to refusal. Procedural fairness demands that the case officer request for ADR or Interview if he/she is not convinced of the facts of an application.

Here

JustCare:
So what exactly should guide one's choice of NOC. BSc, skills, work experience, duties during NYSC? Sorry if I bore you with my questions. I just want to know what counts at this stage considering numerous things one has being into in the past or currently at.
