You can also run a business in Canada as long as it is not illegal. There are a lot of resources for newly landed immigrants who want to go into business.

Yes, add NYSC. You can make it employment since you were earning at that time. As for the institution, type the name of your PPA and put "national youth service" in brackets.

Go and read page one!

Hello people,
Good news in the house from my sister as she got her PPR today dated 14th. What can she do as she is in the US at the moment for child delivery while her husband and other defendant are in Nigeria. What should they do as regards their passport submission? This is urgent please

October 2017! Lost for words!

I think Accra is starting to finally respond to files.A friend of mine whose AOR was October 2017 got PPR today. Reason for file transfer from London to Accra was because of his claim of being paid in cash.

Sooo happy for this dude.

2 weeks is too tight. Might be best to ask for an extension of your submission date.

Hello my people, please bear with me oh...my PPR story is still being cooked cos I want to score 10/10 from Prof Raphluz.

Please I need To know how long it takes from when passport is submitted to when it is returned. Wifey was supposed to travel for an international exam in Philippines by 31st this month and she has booked her flight. So we want to reschedule her exam and flight as well, and this information will help us to determine when to chose for her exam.

Thanks as you respond sirs and mas

Congrats to you! Go and excel! Waiting for the full gist.

Yhaaaaaaaaaay
It’s PPR GUYSSSSSSSSSS
Alhamdulilah...so I will also get this almighty PPR..
Thank God for me everyone...I just got the mail.
Will come back with my full gist later. One my way to work ��

You are correct. Amended.

The money no be here, but some people wouldn't mind paying it.

ontarioissauga:
It's nomination of interest, NOI and not nomination. This means guys on 437 get hope. 1500CAD!

Factually correct, but misleading.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/understand-pr-status.html

It appears you can only remain a PR when you didn't meet up with your residency obligations if:
a. your PR card expires with you in Canada,
b. you decide not to leave the country again,
c. you decide not to apply for a new PR card and
d. you avoid legal issues that can lead to a removal order.

Once you have to apply for a PR card or a PRTD, a decision will be made on your PR status.

Shokoloko:
Please can someone verify this

Your choice:

1. Accept the NOI and proceed.
2. Decline, rewrite IELTS or hope the draw points come down soon.

You have to weigh the risks. You don't have to accept or decline immediately. There's some time to make a good decision.

Harjeehbaday:
Thanks for your prompt response, am currently at 439; hoping to write another IELTS to get to 443

It simply means you have received a NOI for Ontario PNP.

If you accept, you will have a defined no of days to submit your application for the PNP.

If you don't accept, it does not affect you getting ITA directly. What is your crs score?

Harjeehbaday:
Hi E-family,
I just received this email in my cic inbox. Can someone please explain the highlighted section?
Has anyone received similar message?
Does it mean I will not qualify for EE ITAs if my CRS points meet the next draws?
Somebody help!!!

Search the thread for the link to the December whatsapp group and send it to your friend to join. There she can track how other December AORs are getting MEP/BIL from Dec 1 to Dec 26. It is usually gotten sequentially from one day to the next. It is currently gotten around 30-45 days post-AOR, though I think it might reduce as time goes on.

yimiton:
Hello guys, please I have a friend who has submitted her PR application since December 26th, 2018. She received AOR immediately but till date, 14th January 2019 she still hasn't been sent biometrics requirements. Please is this normal or is she supposed to contact CIC?

Include it. NYSC is a 1yr service.

nelronaldo:
So despite working as a doctor in hospital A for 11 months and then hospital B for 7 months, i don't meet the continuous work criteria?

PS. Hospital A is my NYSC, so what happens if i include the three weeks NYSC camping?

I think it is almost there. It is generally advised that your JD should match 70-80% of the NOC's duties. I think you should flesh it up to like 7 bullet points.

Some suggestions:
a. Why don't you split: Supervise/inspect craftsmen and technicians during mechanical systems setup and installation? Let supervision of craftsmen and technicians be separate from monitoring of installation projects.
b. "Monitor vibration levels of mechanical systems and structures" is so vague. Looks like you just edited the NOC.

efeklvn:
Pls experts, I need your inputs with regards to my reference letter. Will the following job duties align well in Mechanical Engineer NOC 2132


- Monitor vibration levels of mechanical systems and structures

- Supervise/inspect craftsmen and technicians during mechanical systems setup and installation

- Review preventive maintenance schedules for various machines and provide support to maintenance crew

- ensure that outsourced maintenance contracts are executed in compliance with company standards

- providing engineering support to maintenance teams, assisting in plant equipment testing during breakdown maintenance

Lol. I made clear there was hope na

fizzile:
Na waoooo...this your response no make sense naa... pity the guy naa.. chaiiii.. dia is God ooo

Don't sweat it. I don't think it matters so much.

Guys!!!!

For travel history,

There are from and to dates:

Should I be using my departure dates or my arrival dates?

Most times, I get to my destination country the next day.

Help !

I see where you are coming from. I think, however, that one is safe if he/she always does the right thing.

I just read a 2011 case commentary and I'm amazed at what Nigerians can do to one another. Please for God sake, make yourself as faceless as possible on this forum, avoid the PM and WhatsApp group thing if possible before someone pick up your details and write IRCC as "concerned Nigerians/Canadians". It doesn't matter if you have something to hide or not. Good morning.

a. If you applied for any Canadian visa before, OYO is your case.

b. If you applied to US before, OYO may be your case.

c. If you applied to other countries before, you are probably safe.

If 'a' or 'b' applies to you, a carefully written LOE may save the day.

etrange:
Anyone knows to what extent can CIC can see my former travel documents? They all have "Sale Executive" as my profession while I'm actually a developer. An error by our logistics person. Should I be worried?

There is no law that states you must do so. It is an insurance.

But pray tell, why don't you want to do a gift deed?

Blooit004:
If I'm getting like 50% of my proof of funds from my mum, is it a must that I do a gift deed? Can't I just write a LOE and attach transaction receipt to show funds is a gift from my mother?

lol.

Kmgb1:
I had suspected your short hiatus was as a result of you discovering ur file is in AVO just like me...pls tell me im wrong. Lol

Chief, pls don't take this the wrong way.

I thought this your moniker was familiar. In 3 months it will be 1yr since you started asking on these Canadian threads about Express Entry. U gotta make up your mind and start with page 1. You will have lost 5 points already from the 1yr increased age.

luvluvluv:
Someone pls send link to calculate my point before I start applying.tnx

I think the question is: Has any Nigerian resident's application been sent to London since August/September when LVO was decongested and surplus applications sent to Kiev?

I'm interested in finding out if otherwise, but I think our applications are now mostly going to Ottawa, Sydney and Accra. Maybe a few Montreal.

MAO1:
I have noticed that there has been no PPR rain from the London Visa Office over the past 2-3 Months...am I mistaken or have some good folks received PPR from LVO?

Don't over-think it.

Hello house
I've some enquiries about POF

I intend to use gift deed from my father.will I need to prove that my father has the ability to gift the money CONVINIENTLY during submission or at any point in time during the processing time? This is because for "one reason or the other" I am thinking of using my mother account to do the gift deed but her account does not have a history of heavy transactions.

Sometimes I really wonder if the deed of gift is that simple....more like I hope I am not missing something ohhh.

Hmm. This your spirit, fa.

The thread is unnecessarily boring tonight!

Let me guess, y'all are afraid to ask your questions. Nobody wants to be embarrassed by our Ogas!

PM them to me, let me ask. I've lost my shame....

Amen! Keying into the prophetic ministry!

This Morning, I want to say this word to YOU, Yes YOU! Your case is settled, Start rejoicing! The Lord has removed every obstacle that is delaying your progress. We shall rejoice with you!

Hi. Replied your post on Friday, but was banned by the spambot, maybe because of the web-link I added.

Good to notice that you got a reply. But as an alternative to @cochtrane's suggestion, in case you get stuck with an airline insisting on 6-months validity, I believe you can land with both a new passport and an old passport containing a Canadian visa as long as you present both together.

The link that got me banned was to a discussion of the issue on another forum and the CBSA manual that guides the border agents. If you interested in the option, PM so I can forward to you.

gaggle:
Hi all, pls if the validity of one's passport is less than 6 months(say 2-3 months away from expiry date) will they be let into Canada?
If No,is it ok to just renew passport and go. Note that visa and copr is already issued on the yet to expire passport.

Please I will really appreciate if I can get a reply. Thanks

If the UCI no you are talking about is CANxxxxxxx, that's a dummy no. You will get the right one later.

soulhighman:
I have been trying to ask this question about ur uci. I have never applied to IRCC before and I had UCI immediately I created my profile.

No worries. Your profile is already locked. Just use the right figure for your eAPR.

Hello family

I got a donotreply mail to login which I did. I discovered that an update i did a day before this recent ITA (JAN 2019) to increase the money i am bringing to canada was not submitted.I just increased it to avoid issues in case IRCC increased their POF requirements.should I be worried the update wasn't submitted? Should I go ahead andre-submit the update( increase the money) now that I have gotten ITA?

Create one and publish here.

Hello Fam,

Any January AOR WhatsApp group link?

Now you are getting clearer. Check page 1 here for what you can do by yourself: https://www.nairaland.com/4933819/living-canada-life-canadian-immigrant

No no!
I mean like getting advises on opening a bank account, housing, getting a phone......

I really don't know if you can claim a points from a work experience obtained during a full-time BSc degree. I'm not sure. I think it has to be part-time or distance learning.
