Officially 3 days, but can take to 1wk or more. Some people take to disturbing them on Facebook and Twitter to get them to act.

khinde:
Finally Unilag has replied my verification mail and WES have updated accordingly that they have received my documents. How long does it take for them to update my status on a due date for my ECA report tho? Many thanks

Congrats @Fede890. Go and shine in your new home.

For now, citizenship applicants are exempted.

Ifeoma77:
If you submitted before 31st July and did not pay for biometrics, you are safe from the biometrics rule...for now.
You will be required to do it years down the line when you are renewing your PR status or applying for citizenship. So whether you escape now or were caught in the 31st July deadline, ultimately you will give it somehow, someday

Congrats! Go and excel!

God bless you guys immeasurably for the selfless work!!..

If it is applicable to you, you will get a letter. Don't sweat it.

ShininLite:
Thanks for responding but this didn't answer my question...

I know about the requirements and the countries to give their biometrics.

I am referring to applicants who submitted their application before the July 31st introduction of biometrics. These set of people didn't pay for biometrics.

How and when will they get to go for their biometrics?

Mm. The date modified part is confusing as the contents of the page has changed. However, not sure there is any other page.
You may give Prime Medical a call. Their contact is on their site.

Inenghe:
the link you provided was modified in Feb. I checked sometime in July and prime medical center was there. Guess we need an update from July.

Congratulations to you! Go and shine like a star! Great news to end the week.

Dear Fam...

What happens to the Biometrics requirement of applicants who got ITA b4 the introduction of Biometrics?...would they be required to do their Biometrics before PPR or after PPR?

...one of newest member of the forum...thanks everyone for sharing these helpful tips and testimonies of sucess that encourages us!

Good point. China and India have also been doing Canadian immigration for decades.

Tojued:
The more people that migrate from a country, the more people that can migrate. Adaptability scores.

You can't beat demographics.
China: 1.415 billion people
India: 1.35 billion people
Nigeria: 195 million people

efueh:
From the data, so Chinese and Indians go school and hear English pass Niaja? Abi their own IELTS na in their local language? This one they both got more ITA than Niaja in 2017? Abi the 6.5 in writing score no waka reach their side?
It is well.

It happens. Happened to me. Someone reported it in Thread 4. No biggie. I don't know what it signifies.

Kmgb:
So there was a ghost update in my friends pre-ITA profile yesterday,we even thought it was Ontario..mscheww. Who else has this happened to? note the last msg when she logged on was Aug 1st

If you have done all required, next is waiting. Welcome to the club.

All this stress for Nigerians. Meanwhile, Nigeria was the 3rd largest contributor to EE last year. I suspect we might be 2nd this year with all this interest.

But what I keep reading online is more VACs for China, faster student visa processing for some Asian countries.

Tojued:
The list has really been streamlined. Process really getting more tedious by the day.

The bolded, not anymore: http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx

Debsify:
Medicals can be done outside Lagos and Abuja, but since PCC is done in alagbon Lagos, it's best to do everything in Lagos.

Yeah, the whole process is really stressful and expensive, but gotta keep eye on the goal.

futureenergy:
And medicals as well.

Debsify:
So from my understanding vfs is only in Lagos and Abuja, people like me that stay in ph will have to keep going to Lagos for biometrics and ppr stage?! That's some stress

My 2cents. If you can, get the backup and keep, otherwise don't sweat it as long as you are not claiming points from it.

Jbelieve:
Ok thanks. I just want to clarify, so if i put in the details for NYSC experience, I don't have to bother about back up i.e. the employment or reference letter.

The reference letter is relevant primarily for work experience that you are claiming points for. For personal history, be as factual as you can. LVO seems to be the only VO that sometimes disturb for evidence of items under personal history.

Jbelieve:
Please help me with this question.

I intend to use only one NOC which is under my present work experience and not include my NYSC experience because i don't have any reference from the company. However, the question in personal history says that don't leave any gaps in time.
If i don't include my NYSC there will be a gap of over a year.

How should i handle this because i cant get reference letter from that company and i cant lay my hands on my acceptance letter.

Have you done the biometrics? Can you share your experience?

clock89:
You will be given a slip attached to a time stamped photocopy of your passport. You are to bring this when submitting your passport i.e after PPR mail drops

Nancyeliot:
Your write up is apt.

I am already your friend whether you like it or not.

Canadahome:

Abuja has an international airport and should be cheap now. Unless you are sending a heavy package. Lagos is N9-10k for documents. Benin N14k.
Maybe someone from Abuja can advice better.

I am sending from Abuja

Self Employed Person Program is different from Express Entry. You must be in entertainment or sports. In addition to the POF, did you submit the other documents required?

sosasatire:
I was sent the message below requesting for POF and I have sent it. I just want to know what is the next step for me. I applied for Self Employment Person Program.

Dear XXXX XXXX:



This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada under the Self-Employed Person Program.

In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require updated documents that evidence these requirements of the class. When submitting these documents, clearly label which requirements they are evidencing.



In addition to these supporting documents, we also ask that you provide the following:



-Updated Schedule A forms for all applicants over 18 years of age

-Bank statements evidencing deposit of funds generated from cultural/athletic/agricultural activities outlined above (please highlight the deposits)

-Bank statements from all bank accounts that finance your family

-Additional Family Information forms for yourself and spouse (if applicable)

-Any other information you wish to be assessed for this application.



*** To avoid delays, please submit all requested documents at the same time ***


You have 30 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information so that we may continue processing your application. Please note this will be the ONLY opportunity we will provide for you to submit additional evidence. Your application will be assessed in 30 days and the final decision will be based on the evidence on file at that time. If you choose not to respond with additional information, a decision will be made based on the information on file, which may result in the refusal of your application.

You might need to use the CIC form and let us know how it goes so others might learn.
Nobody has posted on this thread getting refund directly from Canada.ca.

PS: The refund is only for those who paid HST back in the days. WES now allows you to avoid paying it.

casecasr:
Hello seniors,

Please what's the procedure for WES HST refund now?
The last time I sent WES message, i was redirected to fill a CIC form which seems like JAMB to me.
Kindly advise.

Some people have reported it coming 24hrs after due date.

iamkunski:
And that’s how I’ve been hitting the refresh button all day for my wife’s ECA report WES scheduled to release today to no avail. Guys, is this normal?

Might be fair. Depends on your location. Where are you sending from.

Claire40:

Some speculations on the delay in IRCC passing medicals after AOR.

A lot of people have talked about a seeming change in the process of AOR to PPR. The general observed process was AOR – NA1 – MEP – IP1 – NA2 – IP2 – NA3 – PPR – CoPR. The idea seems to be that it is only if medicals has passed that other stages of the process can continue. But now, medicals or MEP seems bypassed.

I posit that it is due to changes in the medical inadmissibility policy. In April (implemented June 1), IRCC made 2 changes:
a. increasing the cost threshold for medical inadmissibility to 3 times the previous level, and
b. amending the definition of social services by removing references to special education, social and vocational rehabilitation services and personal support services.

Before, applicants may be found inadmissible if the services required to treat their health condition or that of an accompanying dependent is anticipated to cost more than the annual cost threshold, which, for 2017, is $6,655 per year and $33,275 over 5 years. This affected approximately 1,000 permanent and temporary resident applicants who receive a medical inadmissibility finding. This is 0.2 % of applicants who undergo medical screening.

By raising the cost threshold 3 times to $19,812 per year, IRCC has made medicals almost irrelevant. If before 99.8% of people pass medicals, then virtually 100% will pass now. Medicals is now just a formality and can be done at any stage of the process. It can even be the final stage that will trigger PPR.

My 2cents. Relax on whether you have passed MEP or not. Your application processing is still going on.

@Glitteringstar, @mcstan18, pls update the links on medical inadmissibility in Page 1.

That was some perseverance and money spent. May rapid PPR fall on you!!
