I believe you know what to do.

Please don't clutter the thread.

Dyolahh:
Please can I ask for a sample as well. Many thanks!

I think that is beyond me.

A lawyer might be in a better position to know the implications.

SOS!!
I'm asking this question on behalf of a close friend. So he had a name change recently, but I think he didn't do it the right way.

So let's say his initial name was Ali Baba Chukwu (Chukwu is his surname). He wanted to change his surname to his Father's first name, but he went ahead to add his 3rd name.
He now changed it to Ali Baba Dante Edward (court affidavit & publication done already), instead of Ali Baba Edward (tbh I don't know who sent him to add a 3rd name)

Now, he wants to make the correction and I've been racking my head on the best way to approach this. That's why I brought it here.

Can he just go to court and do an affidavit again to reflect the name he wants? Which would now be his former name when he writes the affidavit and does the publication?

Haha! Ladymarshall, i’ll wait for @raphrulz’ week to mark before i submit my script

He can book down a date. I think he should wait though.

Omonoba1981:
Can he go redo the medical upfront and send to them via web contact

Maybe. I don't really understand the Travel section's anti-spam not myself and I've been banned several times.

My bans are mostly due to website links I've tried to post.

jjohndoe83:
Hey people, my apologies for not sharing my experience as promised. I've been serving a ban.

@Joo2018, can an usually lengthy post result in a ban?

She should use her current passport with her maiden name.

archer7:
Hello house, I have been following this thread occasionally but finally ready to make the move. My wife is going to be the primary applicant based on CRS scores however we need clarity on the following:

Her current passport with her maiden name expires in 2021, will it be wise to start EE profile with it or better for her to get a new passport showing her marital status with new name before we start the EE profile?

Thank you.

Pls I have some questions to ask. 1 is 6.5 equal to CLB 6 or 7. 2 Can some apply for Manitoba PNP with 6.5. Pls how can you help me with IELTS exam because am planning to write another one soon.

Eeyah.

1. Pray and hope the score comes down. I will pray and hope with you.

2. I don't know if it is still practical for hubby to do ielts against May, but I think he should prepare at least for after. 440 is better than 436.

3. You might need to start exploring options. French or PNP.
What is your CRS? Alberta or Ontario may call.

Youtook:
People of God, please help a sister. I'll be 36 by May ending. With our IELTS results, our CRS sits at 441. Even if hubby rewrites, we'll be at 445 & by my birthday, we'll be down at 440. I don't even know what to do again o! My head is just turningoninown. I need suggestions please. Thank you.

I'm assuming her experience is not Canadian experience. If not, remove her work history and add it only to the personal history.

Itzchord:
Please @ all the savvy elders, I have a daunting issue. I am the primary applicant for EE and we just recently got an ITA; however, the problem is that my wife's NOC was mistakenly filled as Admin assistant instead of Admin officer when we entered the pool. Please can I still change it or just go ahead with the assistant thingy?

There shouldn't be a problem. What is your NOC?

femez14:
My people i need your contribution ooo, i work with my dad and i have 3 years work experience as operations manager in the company. It is actually an enterprise but it is registered. I have my employment letter and my pay slips with my tax certificate with me. How do i claim points for work experience due to the fact that it is my fathers company?
Can he sign for me and give me a refrence letter?
I will be very greatful if you can enlighten me and put me through.
Thanks so much

He should prepare funds, he will be asked to redo medicals.

Omonoba1981:
I also have question on behalf of my inlaw. He applied for express entry and been waiting for decision and possibly request for his passport. Its almost 10/11 months he has applied and his medical will be 1 year next week. Does any one here know what he should do.
About a month plus, they have requested him to send payslip, bankstatement and to update his background form

My suggestion:

1. Get married since you are already committed.

2. Go as spouse accompanying. Spouse accompanying or unaccompanying you must provide POF for 2.

3. Wait with the 449 or let her do ielts. Your application will be simpler that way.

4. By the time you are through with ielts, eca, ita, aor, ppr wait, ppr and copr, she should be through with her degree since she is already in final year.

5. In case she is not through with her studies and/or she wants to serve, she can do a soft landing and come back to Nigeria to complete her studies/NYSC.

Bonne chance.

ambo1:
Thanks guys for your prompt response, may God continue to bless you guys. I have really gained alot from your contributions. Another question is what if after marriage I do not want her to accompany me immediately because she's still in school, do I have to provide POF for 2 people? Secondly can you guys add me to a group for express entry. Thanks and a happy easter to u guys.

Congratulations. May you prosper in your new home.

Add a LOE to explain the transition just as you did here.

ayotami:
Hello all,
While I was in paid employment in a regulated profession from 2014 to 2017 (which I have claimed points for), I had a side business as the MD/CEO in the same profession although using someone's license. When business picked up I resigned and faced my side business in the capacity of MD/CEO/additional duty. This technically means i was only the owner from inception till date while I was in full time employment somewhere.
My question is that do I breakdown my duty in personal history as 2015 to date (MD/CEO) and 2017 to (MD/CEO/ADDITIONAL DUTY).

I hope I'm making sense. Thanks in anticipation.

Somebody obviously believes it takes serious skills and training to become barbers and hairstylists. They even have Red Seal certification.

The same somebody believes any Tom, Dick and Harry fresh out of high school can be a customer service rep.

majamisile:
The person that compiled this NOC checklist is just a piece of work o. I just got to realize barbers and hairstylist belong to NOC B whereas Customer Service Representatives belong to class C. I am just thinking out loud and wondering the rationale behind this.

Congrats. All the best.

Somebody shout hallelujah!!!! Couldn't post this yesterday because I was in Nairaland prison. IELTS freed me at first attempt. LWRS 8799. I was soooooooo worried but God came through. Thanks oga @wasse.ynewest & other IELTS tutors. God bless you all. The ministry is moving!

Yea, that's just the work permit.

Balenciaga28:
Good evening
Is there anything like Temporary Residence With Work permit visa in Canada

Onwards!

Congrats and may the rest of your journey be smooth.

....”you have 33 minutes left, you should be on task 2!” At this point, I was inundated and confused because another failure could be lurking around the corner....I
God bless Nigeria too sha!

That sucks.

Options are 2: appeal or redo.

Appeal: You need an immigration lawyer, some dough, and it will take time, possibly the same time as a new application or longer.

Redo: Confirm the right NOC and restart unless age difference has caused your points to drop below cutoff.

seunfoster:
Dear All,

I writing this draft to solicit for your advise/help with regards to my application. My application was rejected on the 18th of April 2019 for a reason which I raised CSE on 5 days prior to the day of rejection. The issue is related to mistake on NOC number. Instead of me picking 1212, I picked 1112. This was noticed after 10 months of waiting for PPR via GCMS notes. I would like to hear from everyone on the best way to contest this decision as I am seriously bothered and I can tell my wife yet because we have sacrificed a lot for this application. Thank you in anticipation of your responses.

Congrats to the IELTS smashers. @Headnotthetail, @jazzy, @Ugomaxx, @jjohndoe83 and others. May the rest of your journey be smooth.

For others with poor results, @Crookesmore, @Yhkl, @Adva45, @Mcseun, let's keep our eyes on the goal.

I think all of us still on the IELTS track can learn from @jjohndoe83. To move from the level he was to W8 within one month is really remarkable. The lesson is that it can be done if we do the necessary thing.

I believe the site will allow you to get a breakdown of your results.

Check it. You should be able to see the section(s) giving you problem. It could be the map section for listening or the long essay for reading. Once you know your weak area, you will know what to focus on.

rs172:
Good evening everyone, I've been practicing with ieltsonlinetests.com for the past few days, especially listening and reading, i don't know where I'm getting it wrong I've been scoring 6.5 and 7 respectively in both listening and reading, I've watched ielts liz tutorial videos i can't still get where I'm getting it wrong.

Thanks. @AdaZion2018, @wasseynewest, @FaskRolce, @Prettiepearlz, @Utonne, @sharon2015, @majamisile, @FirstTImeUser, @Teteufu, @adetola007, @bouqounmie, @freshdad

May God answer all our prayers.

Use the crs tool to simulate your scores with only you or both of your writing.

Amaragold:
I m preparing for my IELTS general exam,is it necessary for my husband to write the exam also?,I am the principal applicant,thanks.

You are still asking. You with the x-rated moniker.

BootyliciousHon:
Thanks Ifeoma...why did "booty" sound weird? Lol

Hi,

Planning for Canada basically offers "preparation for life in Canada" services. This consists of the GO and the MAP sessions. The minimum eligibility document is the BIL.

Based on your MAP session, you will be referred to other pre-arrival organizations for work and settlement assistance.

However, most other pre-arrival organizations (especially those getting the bulk of their funding from IRCC) will not accept anything less than PPR. Others will.

PfC/CIIP have discharged their duty to you. Did you inform ACCESS that you were referred from PfC/CIIP?

I was referred to Canada InfoNet. They also had those requirements on their site. I sent a mail before registering that I was referred from PfC/CIIP and had only my BIL. I was asked proceed with my registration.

If it still doesn't work out, just face your MAP till PPR. The work required on the MAP document no be here. I have done only like 5% out of it.

pejuhazel:
Good morning everyone, please I need information from people who are receiving or have received pre-arrival services. So I signed up for planning for Canada with my biometric letter, after my MAP session I was referred to ACCESS employment and they requested for Copy of Permanent Resident card,Copy of Confirmation of Permanent Residence or Copy of Permanent Resident visa, or A passport request letter that indicates Permanent Resident visa issuance, or A Permanent Resident Visa pick up notification letter. None of which I have as my application is still in progress, I told them and my pre-arrival services have been suspended until I get any of the above mentioned.
My question is how were you guys able to proceed with their services before getting your PPR.
cc. @Ifeoma.77, @joo2018 any one else who can help

If you have your ECA, you can create a profile and enter the pool. This will help you take advantage of the draw cut-off while your work on our IELTS.

Adva45:
Just saw my ielts result. I am very sad. Had lswr 6.5, 7,7,7. This is my last chance. What can I do? Can I be accepted into the pool? Can I go the route of provincial nomination? Can I ask for a remark?

Funny that I always get that considering I've never purposely misdirected people like you.

She is a He

Congrats. May you excel in your new home.

Listening 8.5

Reading 8.5

Writing 8.0

Speaking 8.5

First attempt. I'm so elated right now.

You can include it both in education and personal history if you want.

You will tick "current" or "ongoing".

For my spouse' ongoing degree, I included the admission letter as proof in eAPR.

Teamo2:
Do I need to add my ongoing doctorate degree to my education history even though I did not evaluate it?

I only evaluated my Masters and I don’t know if not putting it in my education history will count as misrepresentation.
