Hello house, please what does this mean? “ The tie-breaking rule for this draw was applied to profiles at 471 points submitted after March 2, 2020 at 12:47:08 UTC.”

Does it mean people that submitted their profile after March 2nd and earned 471 points and above will get ITA? My brother got into the pool last week with a CRS of 475 but didn’t get ITA today.

Kindly explain, thanks.

I'm not sure if this changes anything or not but he should register on the jobbank.gc.ca platform (the info on this should be in one of the no reply emails). Mine was delayed too but I received an ITA some minutes after I did this.

Big congratulations to you and your dear spouse. I'm happy your effort paid off.
Please at exactly what time did you receive the email cos I'm still waiting for mine. I don't know if I should remain hopeful or wait for the next draw

Update, my own email just dropped. We thank Baba J!

Inenghe:
ITA just landed, since 2018 we started this process fully. Between myself and spouse we wrote ielts 9 good times and will always travel for the exams. Hoping for a smooth process ahead and am wishing everyone the best.

Big congratulations to you and your dear spouse. I'm happy your effort paid off.

Good day House!

I and my husband registered with WES for assessment since Aug 2016. I got my own assessment Dec 2016. He is yet to get his assessment. The status still shows "Awaiting verification from Institution". He has gone to his alma mata (Uni Ibadan) to follow-up and he ensured those in charge responded but the status still remains the same. WES still claims not have received confirmation from Uni Ibadan. Please what do you think he can do as this is delaying us from creating EE profile

I think the delay is all from Uni Ibadan. Not sure how they operate but a similar thing happened to my cousin who applied for hers in UNN. After some weeks of the verification delay, I went to the records office only to find out that usually, applicants are required to pay 10k verification fee ie after paying for the transcript (mind u, they didn't even bother communicating this to her). I paid the 10k and in 3 days, hers was verified. So I advise you find out from Uni Ibadan what might be causing the delay.

My cousin also mentioned something wrt the whole WES verification process having a deadline, after which applicant will have to start the process afresh. Not sure about this, but u can ask to find out more.

Cheers

Thank God I got my passport today...even without the passport dispatch mail. I literally went to vfs office and begged them for it. Luckily for me, the guys told me it just got in from Ghana and they would pity me and process it quickly.

Also secured a flight for tomorrow. Qatar airline 11.20am. Who else is on the flight abeg?

To our hopefuls, I wish you the very best.

You too refused to submit transcripts and SOP at your own peril? @Austinpee4, lol. Congrats!! And how comes you did biometric twice? I suggested the other day that CIC can make you do biometrics twice if the first one was not good. The same person said it was not possible and even if it were, they won't tell you to do it at the same time with medicals. It's CIC you are dealing with bro!

Well, my application was online and there wasn't any provision for SOP. Besides, I didn't see the need as I thought my documents were pretty straight forward.

As per transcript, I felt my certificates were enough. (I'm one of those that really trust their instinct )

I did biometrics once, just that the update came very late (in fact I had to send them a reminder to that effect)

Hi. Please what was the structure of the message you sent to them. I will like to do the same thing too

Heading: Special Consideration Appeal

Dear Sir/Ma,

This is an appeal for an expeditious approval of my study permit application. This would enable me to commence my PhD research work with other members of my research team. The school, McGill University including lectures resumes on the 5th of September.

It is true my application is still within the processing period but I plead to be considered so I could fully participate in the prerequisite courses needed for the successful completion of my PhD research. I could have applied earlier but my CAQ approval took an unusually long period of time.

With my research, I hope to.....

seyiT:
House, I have two quick questions. For those that followed online route whose application were recently approved, did you need to pay any service fee to submit your passport at the VAC in Lagos? What did you take along to the VAC besides your passport?

A friend helped me submit mine. He only submitted the passport, the passport request letter and the consent form. He was told it will be returned to the VAC office in 5-8 days time

Service fee is applicable when you are using courier services or paying for passport transmission (say, moving from Abuja VAC to Lagos VAC). The consent form, when you are using a representative. See below from VFS website

If you have received notification from the Government of Canada requesting your passport, your passport along with the request letter may be submitted through the Canada Visa Application Centre.

With your passport(s), make sure you include:

The passport request letter you received from IRCC
Any applicable visa application center (VAC) fees, such as passport transmission fees, courier fees/ or self-addressed prepaid courier envelope etc.
Your contact information, including your email, phone number and return address
The VAC consent forms

Austinpee4:

Go with the attachment in the email to the hospital you completed the upfront medicals, they will use the code generated by the embassy to resend your result.

You are in the finalizing stage of your application as it proceeds to the final decision stage.

Thanks a lot Austinpee4. I just called the clinic: IOM Abuja and they asked me send cic an email. But will discuss this your option with them.

Update: I just did and was told they usually do not resend results. I should be fine with just sending CIC a mail

mcobex:
scan the documents that was given to you from the clinic you did your medical and send to cic. if you can do that today I see you getting your approval before the end of this week

Amen o. If it happens, one champagne glass for you... on me.lolz

I got a medical request form today. However, I did an upfront test. How should I respond, please? And again, could someone confirm what stage I'm in? My status changed to eligibility stage today, but, my medical & biometrics have not been updated. Kindly see below
