If the DPI is too low, the document will not be clear and you may get ADR to re-send.

Use 300dpi colour and use an online PDF compressor.

Upton:
Please is it compulsory to scan my documents with 300dpi? Can't I use something lower? With 300dpi, some of my file will be more than the maximum size of 4mb.

It is advisable not mandatory.

You will need to get it stamped.

Dears,

I have a quick question.... For my POF, I'm using my Tbills certificate. However, from previous read ups , I see it's also advisable I upload 6 months statement of my salary account . Pls is this important and will an electronic copy suffice??

I think that it is generally true.

I did an IELTS course with BC/Futurelearn last year and was advised not to exceed the target. The instructors are BC examiners.

I suspect that all those getting high scores are those who are naturally very good with English.

I will advise those struggling with Writing not to exceed 10 words more than the target. It will take practice. Include it in your normal writing practice.

How: When writing, we each end up with an average number of words per line. Use the IELTS exam practice sheet. It is available online. Write 3 essays with pencil. Check them to know your average words per line. With that you will know how many lines to write for the 150 and 250 tasks. Target a little bit more, never less.

NB: Someone is going to ask me about Futurelearn. Go here:
https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/categories/languages-and-cultures-courses/learn-english. I did it free.

jazzy:
Congrats to the IELTS clinchers.
To the rest please don't give up. Request for EOR, especially on your writing, it may just turn out successful.
I'm writing my second IELTS tomorrow and i have prepped and prayed. I leave this one to God.

But please is this really true? the 250+10 explanation someone gave above? That's quite unfair, it certainly means that with every paragraph written, one has to pause and count. Oh well. #Wemove..
I ll be back with my testimony on the 19th God willing..

1. WES has nothing to do with single or married. You will have to apply separately.

2. You need to spend some quality time on page 1.


DeltaSigma:
Hi Guys, I just stumbled on this good thread after I had started my Canada Immigration processes. Please. I have questions that require urgent answers:
1. I have generated a Reference Number on WES but yet to Pay, because I plan to pay via Western Union transfer. I registered as a SINGLE, although, I'll be getting married soon. Will I get more point as a single or should I get married first before I begin the process...which is more rewarding?

2. Having submitted a WES application as a SINGLE, can I reopen another WES as MARRIED and begin the process all over or can I write WES to change my status or open my page for editing?

3. Is it advisable to use a friend as relative in Canada, will the know?

Please, I need your sincere answers base on experience and facts. Thank you.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 7 by joo2018(op): 5:36am On Apr 05, 2019
You are good to go. Color scan it like that and the signature will prove that you scanned it as original.


ladymarshall:
How can I scan/convert a black and white document to color? Any app you can suggest? One of my PCC is in black and white except for the signature and the IRCC requirement is to scan all PCCs in color.
Only the picture itself.

ladymarshall:
The eApr requires a soft copy digital photo so how do we provide the backpage of the photo where we are asked to write our DOB and the photographer's address? Do we provide it at this stage or during the PPR stage?

Below is the format. If both letters have those details, then you are safe uploading them alone.

"a reference or experience letter from the employer, which

should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; "

However, it may also make sense to prepare for a scenario in which you get an ADR for payslips. You can ask the cash paying company for a salary certificate.

nelronaldo:
Depends on what the cic format is.

One letter has the same template as the one posted on page 1

The second one is from a military establishment so it didn't bullet my job duties like the template we have on page one and the paragraphs are numbered. I was told for the military style of writing, paragraphs must be numbered and bulleting points isn't allowed. However, it contains the important details like duration, work hours per week, responsibilities/duties(written in two paragraphs), contact of supervisor etc.

Do I add these documents to the ones i am supposed to submit to CIC under education section or i upload them under the optional file: Either.

If I am uploading them under the education section, I understand my LOE has to come first. I hope I can upload all other documents that I am submitting in any particular order?: Include a table of contents to help the agent/officer.


nelronaldo:
Hello,
I guess the documents to upload in education section are ECA, Ielts certificate, degree certificate in no particular order. However, I am writing an LOE for my education and I intend to attach some other documents like statement of result, transcript and professional registration to support my explanation. Do I add these documents to the ones i am supposed to submit to CIC under education section or i upload them under the optional file.

If I am uploading them under the education section, I understand my LOE has to come first. I hope I can upload all other documents that I am submitting in any particular order? "I.e transcript could come before ECA and ielts certificate"

Hi. I don't understand this last post.

The funds being in USD doesn't change anything. Just top it up as soon as possible. You might not increase it back to the original amount...maybe like $200 above what you currently have. As an insurance.

TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 7 by joo2018(op): 11:21pm On Apr 03, 2019
Relax and make a plan to replace it as you can't predict if you will get an ADR.

That $181 difference might not be enough buffer as no one has access to the exchange rate IRCC uses

Mimi1999:
Good day all.
Please, I had some sort of emergency and had to tamper with my proof of fund.

Tbills.

Do a gift deed and keep.

VECOH1:
Good evening all, congrats to all ITA Clinchers.
Please I need clarifications about P.O.F- (I AM POST-ITA)
I intend to use T-Bills certificate plus gift deed(My dad supported me) as proof of fund.

A friend said I have to submit my account statement showing the inflow of my dad's payment and my Dad's account statement showing outflow of the funds.

My issue- I have been involved in multiple fixed deposits and TBILLS investments pre-ITA and this shows as huge inflow and outflow when the investment matures/tenure expires.

My question- Do I still go ahead and submit my account statement showing my Dad's funds and write a letter of explanation explaining the huge funds or should I just submit only my dad's account statement plus TBILLS certificate and gift deed.
I just do not want the huge inflow to raise red flags.
Pls I would need your advise- Anyone with experience and all seniors in the house.
Thanks for your anticipated reply.

Use the reference letter and modify your eAPR. I will also advise you to add a LOE.

Upton:
So I decided to verify my documents to be submitted and the information I have given online, only for me to realise that I filled 54 hours per week in one of my work experience before I entered the Express entry pool but my employer wrote 51 hours per week in the reference letter she gave me. Can I change it to 51 hours per week in my eAPR or should i get another reference.

The thing is we were working 51 hours when I was employed but she later increased it to 54 hours; I disagreed initially but i still ended up working 52 hours to 54 hours every week because there was always work to do.

Hi.

I think the bank should also provide instructions on how to wire funds.

cychristaa:
Thanks alot for your replies. From the information I was given about the account, I don't think it's a specific type of account yet (please see attached pic). So can I just send the money now and deal with the rest when I get there ?
Also, due to bank costs and the fact that I'm not sure if bank can transfer directly to CAD, I was thinking of using rave by flutterwave to transfer instead but I'm a little scared. I've used them for some small transactions but I've also seen some bad reviews about them. What are your thoughts please?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 7 by joo2018(op): 3:47pm On Apr 03, 2019
You status still has to be consistent at the point of landing.

The CBSA officer interviewing you may ask for your marital status. Will you say yes and be deported immediately or will you answer yes and live in fear for the rest of your life in Canada of being outed? The end result is the same deportation and added revocation of PR status or citizenship.

There was another story of a divorced/widowed lady who got remarried just before traveling. When she was asked the question, she said yes and found herself back in Nigeria.

Inform? Eh? After they have waited for months separately to get PPR? IRCC will never find out in ANYWAY Na.
So what exactly will they be misinterpreting? lipsrsealed
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 7 by joo2018(op):
You have to inform. Not to inform is misrepresentation.

After you inform, your COPRs will be withdrawn and the visas cancelled. Both your applications will be opened again and you will be added to each others' applications. You will then be issued new visas and a new COPR. At least that is what happened to someone from either the part 3 or 4 thread.

Modified.
Here is the link. Their experience is not an exact match. One had a COPR, the spouse's application was still being processed. However, I think a similar process may apply. The whole process took like 2 weeks.


Onetwo77:
Hi,

My now fiance and I applied separately and we both have our COPR, but yet to land in Canada. We are now considering getting married before we land in Canada. It's just a small wedding. If we do proceed with the wedding, do we need to inform IRCC? How would this affect our COPR? We are trying to avoid having to come back for the wedding lol.

Any suggestions please?

Were you required to list all your education and work experience and you didn't or you only had to include the relevant education and work experience and you did?
