Udonmeanit!

survivor1986:
No offense but I doubt it. How can they give both of us PPR even without her writing IELTS? Adding her without her IELTS drops our points below 440 ordinarily. So I strongly doubt if IRCC will allow us to bypass the need for Spouse’s IELTS by simply marrying her after AOR.

The help part is a generic something. No harm including it tho.

ziggymanti:
But if I remember correctly, the [? - more infor] part of the upload stated that all travel docs. so I uploaded my current passport first with the travel visas and then the former passport with their visas. no harm including everything, instead of getting ADR for that little thing.

Unlikely. If you run several scenarios on the crs tool, you will find that 440-460 is the sweet spot for getting young foreign educated postgraduates with families viz-a-viz Canadian educated professionals.

nasohian:
CRS score after Masters will be 456.I hope it will not be 460 and above nex year.

This thread sha. Quiet most of the time, then suddenly boooom!!!

Looking forward to the three.some, foursome or fivesome of PPRs to xxxxxxxxx this thread tomorrow

No easy way out o. US and Canada share immigration data. It is not fully clear whether the data is shared for all applicants, but it is safe to assume so. What is certain is that marital status is one of the information shared.

I'm not sure he can escape the consequences of his decision as long as you are interested in Canada.

1. Married but unaccompanied
For him to be attempting US green card without divorcing you, he must have presented himself as single in his original US visa application.
If your application is scanned with US and they decide to go deeper, he might be caught out as having misrepresented his application. This will make your application a complex application and stall the processing. He may be found inadmissible for spousal sponsorship and may affect your own admissibility whether accompanying or not.(See here and here and here)

2. Divorce might be the only way to break his application from yours.

However, I do understand the need to preserve ones family. If you are still keen on immigrating, you may explore other countries: Australia, NZ and European countries. These countries don't have a tight immigration relationship with US like Canada.

Hello everyone, I'm quiet new here, pls I need your suggestion on this case


To go straight to the question, I am a prospective applicant for Canada express entry, recently, I got to find out my Estranged husband got married in the US without proper divorce from me. However, I am not interested in implicating him as we have a child together. We are still legally married in my home country.

The question is, can I proceed with my application for the express entry as married but spouse not accompanying? He is willing to give PCC and medicals, but is it going to implicate him ? I learnt also that he is applying for green card over there as well?
I don't want to proceed with divorce because of our kid. Is there any way to go about this?
Will not disclosing his marital status else where be termed as misrepresentation in the EE program?

Canada is sure. What is your crs score with the masters?

nasohian:
Please I need your advise on the best and safest route between Canada and Australia, I understand they are different programmes but with the same objective.Here is the situation.

Canada PR
CRS is low, to increase it;
Am presently studying (Masters programme) which will be completed by July 2019.
With this, I anticipate To get ECA from WES say about Sepetember 2019,and prbably ITA October/Nov 2019, then PPR sometime in April/June 2020.

The alternative is to go for Master in Australia for 2 years which is anticipated to end in early 2021 and then start PR prcoess.
I dont know what Canada hold for immigrants next year.
Can you advise which option is sure and better.
Thanks.

Issorai! Part 6! God will answer all our prayers!

It should be ok for COPR. 6 months is the expiration time.

It means though that you should take another set just before you land. You will submit the new set for your PR card.

Nazor83:
Hello All,

Please is it okay to submit passports I took about 4 months ago for issuance of COPR.
Those who have successfully submitted their passports for issuance of visa should kindly advise.

Thanks in advance.

2013. 2013 is the year he became qualified to practice.

babstope05:

He did WES and evaluated only his master of law (oil and gas) finished in 2016. His work experience with regards to express entry profile will be calculated from 2013 or 2016?

Hello everyone,
I need info on how long it will take to get response from the immigration office on my application. I submitted on 15/10/18 and i got AOR same 15/10/18, but since then there has been to communication even as basic as the medicals. I sit too early to send them mail on the basis of this?
Good info from guys with experience will go a long way. Thanks.

IMHO, the social work NOC seems simpler.

However, I do get the challenge with getting the qualifications needed.

My concern with the farm NOC plan is that PNP applications pass to 2 levels of scrutiny: SINP and IRCC. At some point during the application, she must put in the record of the social work or risk misrepresenting. How will she then list it, as a "side hustle"? If she can provide a good explanation, good!

Tojued:
Everybody everywhere is strict with social workers. You must evaluate with their professional organisation to be considered one. Prof. Organisation says you must have education in social work.

Pardon my ignorance. Is SINP that strict on the education requirements?

Tojued:
My people, please huddle round let's reason together.

I have someone who needs PNP because of age.

Now, her main NOC (social worker) is currently on SINP list, but she doesn't have the requisite education so isn't really qualified. She's willing to do a diploma to gain the qualification, but will take a bit of time and you know how these occupation in demand lists change.

However, she owns a farm which she has been running as a side hustle all these years. And farm manager is also on the demand list. She neatly ticks off all the requirements for this NOC in real life.

Two problems involved on paper:
1. She has not been tidy with documentations all these years. Even sales book, she no get lol.
2. She is very well known in that her main NOC. Google her name and her experience there will pop up. Google her particular field of expertise and her name is also likely to pop up.

I'm thinking we should try getting nomination with farm manager, but if nomination has not arrived as at when we complete our diploma, we recreate profile/switch NOC to social worker. Is this making sense?

Thanks in advance for your contributions.

Hi. Am a student nurse in year 2 in Nigeria. I will love to work and continue my education in Canada immediately I finish in 2020. I don't know how I'll go about it. Please I need advice.

NOC 6969

Newmum0615:
If you get married after submitting your application, she doesn't need to bring even IELTS to any table. Your CRS score won't be affected. She just needs to submit herself for medicals, PCC and then you add her international passport, photos and make up your POF to accommodate her. You can even add the POF before hand to cover both of you. This thing is not as hard as you are thinking it. In my humble opinion, doing a 'simple' court wedding post AOR is what I'd suggest. You really have nothing much to lose by adding her now and saving yourself the stress of sponsorship later. A couple I know are still waiting a year and a half for the wife to be eligible to sponsor her husband cos the wife had not been able to get a good job that will allow meet the financial requirements for sponsorship. The husband still sends her upkeep allowance from Nigeria here. She only recently got a good job and is hoping to start the process now after almost 2 years of landing. On top the stress, belle come enter the equation as a result of several 'conjugal visits'.
My brother, Canada is cold o. Skype alone cannot keep you warm. You need the regular warming only your iyawo can provide. How many times do you want to come to Nigeria to come and collect heat from her. She can finish with all her plans in Nigeria and still have the added benefits of being a PR.
In the end, it's yours and hers to decide. Do what you must.
Enuf said.

NB: Bia, Ifeoma77 thank you for transferring your Apollo to me. I got it by just reading your post the other day.

Emphasizing the bolded. If you for whatever reason marry anytime after AOR, you MUST INFORM IRCC BEFORE YOU LAND!

cc: @venorite

Ifeoma77:
2. Complete your application and go and land. Then come back and marry her. THEN you can sponsor her.
DO NOT do the wedding before landing and not notify IRCC.

The choice is yours

1. You mean changing the test date on the profile? Not sure, but it has been confirmed on this thread the case officers can access the changes in information after submitting a profile. So, I think it might depend on the scrutiny given to the application.

2. Can be done.

3. Revoking Gckey has nothing to do with your application. Your account will still exist whether you revoke or not.

Unsolicited emotional commentating: There is virtue in patience. The race is not to the swift. 2 wks doesn't matter in the long run. If the crs is high enough, the ITA will still be gotten.

efueh:
Still on this issue my people, my friend said her hubby already filled 8th November as trf test date for 27th October MOD test before she asked me which I relayed here and I got the right response.

She has gone to effect the change to 7th November. She wants to find out;
1. Will this affect her transmitted application prior to ITA?
2. If yes can she withdraw her application now and fill in another one as she is sure of getting ITA?
3. What is the effect of revoking Gsckey account? Because she and her hubby are accusing themselves of taking actions that might lead to misrepresentation. There’s Cold War between them as each is saying they won’t forgive the other if his/her actions cause them to stay in Naija for another 5yrs due to ban.
Make una help with advice so this Cold War can be put off.

Are you still having the problem?

pejuhazel:
Hello everyone, we are trying to create our profile so we can dive into the pool asap but the page keeps hanging and timing out so we always have to start from the beginning every time and it's becoming very tedious. Is this a normal thing or is there a problem?

Thank God for protection. @cutieplum!

In addition to the above, the option you are looking for is called "spouse unaccompanying", it calculates your points as if you are a single. However, 435 is still not enough to get you to the promised land. Do as others have advised.

Mm. Don't think so. I think you can easily explain moving money around your accounts to get higher interest.
But calculate the difference in interest, is it worth the hassle?

Sthill5:
Hi Guys

I have a question.
I discovered Sterling bank has a higher interest rate than the bank I use. Would it be a red flag if the bank i use is diffrent from the bank for fixed deposit ?

Hmm. The images are not really clear, but from what I can see that case officer no get joy at all. Doubting a gift deed?

Can you reattach?

Congrats, congrats! Go and excel!

@ifeoma77, you are really a case!

Stonebreaker01:
Finally, the Eagle has landed!
it's PPR!

Hubby and I can finally have a fantastic night's rest , I had a strong belief that part 5 will not end without my PPR testimony and it didn't.

Send a mail to Ottawa: CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca
cc Accra: accra.immigration@international.gc.ca

Tell them you are in Nigeria and ask them to let you send your passport to Lagos or Abuja VAC as applicable.

Nazor83:
Good evening Guys.
Please I have a little issue and I need to confirm if anybody has had similar experience. I urgently need advice on how it was resolved.
In our PPR approval mail, we were asked to send our passport to New Delhi instead of Accra for COPR. Please, has anybody had similar issue and how was it resolved? Kindly assist a brother in need.

Thanks.

My dear, the heading says: 4031 Secondary school teachers
What else?

Jennypharb1:
Hi guys, a friend of mine is trying to use his nysc teaching experience for ee. Just to confirm, is NOC A 4031 a good fit as its for secondary school teachers?

Use the crs tool to run different scenarios: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

You can include your NYSC emperience (if it is NOC 0,A or B) which will give you the 1yr required experience. You can also run the scenario of your hubby being the PA.

abyejecks:
Pls, I need clarification. I have 9month work experience as a bank teller though my b.ed and m.ed is in guidance counselling which is skill level A but I don't have work experience in teaching.I have masters but currently unemployed. Noc 6551 is for bank tellers which is skill type C not eligible for federal skilled worker in express entry. Hubby doesn't have master's but he has work experience. We are yet to take ielts. He has first degree. Who should be principal applicant? I was thinking if the Atlantic immigration pilot program is viable for me as a principal applicant. Pls I need assistance.

Relationship manager should fly. Search for the appropriate NOC.
469 is good enough. Good luck!

Darlken:
Hi Guys,

Ok here is my case. I have a Masters from Yankee. Worked in a bank for three years before I left the country. Will the job I did as a Relationship Manager count? That was in July 2016. Till date, I have not done any professional job. I also have my PMI, PMP. I just took the IELTS and my results were LRWS 8,7.5,7,7. Will that count? or do I need to resit? I have used the CRS tool and it's giving me 469.
Please, I need help, I've been battling depression and leaving the US is my only solution. Naija is not an option. Thanks to anyone and everyone who can help save a drowning brother

See ehh people need to be logical o. Someone volunteered to take away the stress and expense of going to WAEC. When it's time to pay up you are singing a different tune, even after seeing photo evidence. Why are people like this? Please let us apply wisdom when doing things. This is the reason why people don't help others.

No be me o, I'm ranting on someone's behalf.
