TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by joo2018:
Congrats to everybody who aced IELTS. The rest of us, let's keep trying.

In other news, Part 1 of my Canada story almost over after 9 months since decision to travel. Spouse ECA received and IELTS results out. CRS jumping from 423 to 447. My marathon stay in the pool almost over.

Fingers crossed for next Wednesday.

NB: now I know why the number of candidates with high CRS score in the EE pool jumps from Friday to draw on Wednesday. IELTS General Training tests globally comes out the week before the draw (here). So you see people worldwide massively collecting their TRF between Friday and Tuesday and diving into the pool or updating their profile against Wednesday.

Congrats! Good timeline. Go and shine!

There should be an email contact on your letter. Send an email explaining your situation and ask for an extension of the deadline to submit your passport covering your time of travel.

What's the process of requesting an extension.

Congrats.

2 wks? If you don't want to be under pressure you can request for an extension.

However, we need your timeline and story, pls share.
DrOBD:
Hello great people.

Please what is the standard time from PPR to COPR. I got a request to submit my passport. I plan to submit on Monday, however I need to use my passport on the 31st of October. Will my passport be ready for collection within 2 weeks or should I send a mail to CIC requesting an extension. There was no option of sending a mail to them or requesting an extension in the PPR mail I received. I have 15 days to submit my passport, starting from yesterday.

The differential btw LRS and W is quite high. Try the remark.

IELTS result out: LRSW, 8.5/9/8/6, first attempt. This result dropped my CRS from 459 to 396, I don't know whether to apply for a remark or register for a new one.

Is there a thread for people writing the French exams?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by joo2018: 2:59pm On Oct 11, 2018
1. You can use the 2 willing only (since it is more than 4ys) When you get your ITA, fill the other jobs in the personal history part of your application.
2. You can use other means to document the other work experiences. Get former supervisors or colleagues to fill the JD letter for you and notarize. Back it up with payslips and statement of accounts showing money being paid you by the company.
Aadegal:
Thanks alot but the 7years work experience claimed is from the same NOC but with different organization. Only 2 are willing to give reference letter for up to 4 years but 2 are not willing to give reference letter to balance up the 7years. Should I just manage the4 years ref letter
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by joo2018: 11:24am On Oct 11, 2018
You need to provide only reference for the 1-3yrs you are claiming under NOC 0,A or B. Have you taken out the time to study page 1?
Aadegal:
Good day, please I need advice . I have 7years work experience with different company but only 2 are willing to give reference letter not up to 7years experience. Can I use the letter please help

Relative, yes?
Signature, the relative can handle it.
Stmt of result, not needed. It can be reprinted there if needed. Give her your exam centre and year.
Asinkwa:
Hi everyone,

Please can anyone give me an idea on how to get my WAEC verification sent to WES as I am already in Canada but need it to complete my CPA verification. Can I ask a relative to go to WAEC for me? How will I get my signature on the affidavit? I have been searching my documents but can't find my WAEC statement of result, how then do I get the photocopies to be sent? (The scanned copy I had was in my External hard Drive which was stolen from my travelling bag at the airport).

Hi double congrats.
The advice @efueh gave you is cool.
Since you are relocating, just send a mail that you are travelling to Australia and that you want to submit your passport at the VAC in Sydney.
suzzyallen:
Evening everyone. Pls I need your help. My family and I received PPR this morn(thank God) and the email says we are to send our passports within 15days of receipt of the email. The issue now is that we can't submit our passports now because we are leaving Nigeria for Sydney on the 16th of October, 2018 to arrive Sydney on the 18th. My question is how do I navigate around this. Is it possible to submit the passports at VFS global in Sydney or I have to courier the passports to VFS global in Nigeria. Ur prompt response in this regard will be highly appreciated.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by joo2018: 9:30pm On Oct 10, 2018
As long as there is a seat available for the date, you should be able to apply. Generally, once an exam day is not available, you will not see it on the site.
Pegzzyg:
I need answer on this Please if anyone has an idea to my inquiry, I'll appreciate as I asked same on the IELTS Page but hasn't gotten any feedback.....

Hello all, Please I recently took the General Version IELTS but might need to take the Academic version. Please, I just want to inquire how many days interval do I need to take note of before registering? What I mean is that if Exam is on the 20th of this Month, can I register like today been 10th??

I couldn't find such information on British Council website & would appreciate a prompt feedback.

Thank You...

Tojued:
Lol. Just that the loser and underachiever tag was too strong. People do football age in reverse all the time, official minimum age to gain entry into federal university used to be 16. Don't know if it has changed. It's not like now that you can just send the child to a private university. And even now most secondary schools prefer 9 year old children.

Ms. Tojued! cheesy grin cheesy

Ouch at the emboldened. I falsified my age because i was too young to get into university... so added two years to the real age! Had initially added one year to get into secondary school (if I remember correctly)...

You can do your landing formalities in Montreal.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee some should respond to me sad
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by joo2018:
This thread can be a funny something. People come and get some knowledge. Next is to attack people who are referring others to page 1 and then do a 'hit and run'. I have rarely seen the monikers of those attacking page 1 referrers give back to the thread, answer people's questions and add to the body of knowledge.
I believe people can do waka-pass, but don't attack people referring you to where you can get the best knowledge. If people don't have the time to do research by themselves, the next best thing is to get an agent.

crystalllllllll:
Is it bad to ask questions? I for one hate it when people tell others to go read from page 1. If you can't answer their questions, simply ignore. If you can and you think the question has been answered some pages before you can do well to look it up and then answer with a link to that page. Imagine being on page 389 and dwelling on page 1 info. Things change sometimes and we all know that. Plus people are busy with other things in life too, not just Canadian immigration.

For best peace of mind, transfer the money now and invest in TB.
FaskRolce:
Hello people, thank you for the resourceful pool we have here. My worry is about my pof. I have a family of 5 and I am the PA coz hubby's age won't favor us as much. We intend using gift deed from hubby's brother. He had planned on sponsoring my 1st year Canadian studies before now but I just reasoned since I'm eligible for EE, let's convert that to pof and follow EE instead. Will this be a good enough reason when the time comes or I should tell him to transfer the money to me now so it can sit in the account for up to 6 months or I invest it in TB? Will I have to explain the lump sum in this case? I am about to start eca and write ielts soon, so I can wait the 6months to avoid stories that touch.
Please help, I'm worried sick. I don't want any misrepresentation. Thanks
TravelRe: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by joo2018: 9:39pm On Oct 09, 2018
For Landing formalities, yes.
In practice, I don't know. You need to consider other factors. Have you confirmed the cost of train or cab from Montreal to Ottawa? Do you realize you will be landing in the dead of winter after a long flight?
Maybe landed seniors with knowledge of that route can advise better.

Hello friends,

I am heading for Ottawa in December 27th. Pls can I enter through Montreal? Seems the fare to Ottawa is twice that of Montreal.

1. I don't see a problem with either option. The requirement though is to inform IRCC when your address changes and that's what I'd do.
2. Use this link (here) to check if there is a VAC in the country you are going.

missyou2:
Hi guys,
Please advise me. I will submit my EE application this week. However, I will be travelling out of Nigeria for over a month from early Nov. From the trends, I see that Biometrics is requested after 3weeks+.
1. Should I inform CIC in low during sunmission of my intended travel or I should inform them after I have submitted.
2. Can biometrics be done in another country (Africa)

Just a model.
markmp01:
I am seeking answers as well in this regard. 0433 and 4313 indicates that they should be of the Canadian armed forces. Is it stricly applicable to just serving Canadian officers or its meant to serve as a model for immigrant officers?
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 5 by joo2018: 4:15pm On Oct 08, 2018
You may do that.
My 2cents: No matter your decision, add the side gig to your personal history, you cannot guarantee that you will not get an ADR for further financial documentation.
Xbature:
Thanks so so much. My bank agreed to write the letter in the format IRCC prescribed. So it will state the average six months non in any debt(non indebtedness) and my investment too. While all this was going on the investment expired on Friday but rolled over today. I intend to include the two investment certificates to show that it was rolled over. And the letter is carrying the date after rolled over has taken place, I’m I safe to just submit the letter from my bank and the two investment certificate?
Thanks I really appreciate all this help and it’s making me less confused and panicky

If you are submitting your company details, ownership will be written clearly in the registration documents.

Are you putting the part-time private company job as part of 10yrs experience in your personal history? If so good.

The bank reference letter is supposed to account for 6 months, so the lump sum will show. You may submit submit the 6 month SOA showing the transfer, add a LOE explaining the transaction and attach the company's registration documents to strengthen your application.

My 2cents.
Xbature:
Hi,I'm new to this group but i have read great post from everyone that has contributed, thanks so much for the Info. However, my question is in terms of proof of funds. I have a private company where i do small small works outside my paid job, and while planning for this PR, i moved a bulk sum from my company account to the account i want to submit for proof of funds(My personal and salary account). The problem now is that i have been given ITA since 5th September but this funds thing is really bordering me. The funds was moved and then fixed in my personal account in first week of July, and i need to submit my application latest by end of this month. I'm confused, should I just get letter from my bank on my account balance and investment and print 3 months statement, or i should still print 6 months which will show this bulk sum? What do you advise. Thanks.
