Hello, please does anyone have detailed information about applying for visitors record?

Good evening, please has anyone successfully extended their stay in Canada using the visitors record or does anyone have more information about it?

Hi House,

I once read that someone on this forum could help connect me for an early date for upfront medicals.

Please help a sister-girl.

Thank you,

I have been trying to log into my hv key account since yesterday and it keeps looping back to the home page. Anybody knows what I can do about this?

buzzme:


….do you mean who has submitted or who is about to submit visa requirements??

It will surely end in praise.

I’m curious to know the next steps after paying school fees.

Please who is currently processing Humber college in the house? Visa application stage.

Hi everyone

Please what is the next thing to do. I have gotten admission, I have paid school fees, now I want to apply but I'm not sure exactly how to go about this. This is because I have seen people say they linked their paper application with their online application, so I am wondering how the paper application works. I went on the nigeria.gc.ca and followed a link through, I answered a few questions and was given a code for my application and a list of the necessary documents to apply with.
Do I go from here?
What is the paper and online application?
Anybody can help me with what exactly my next steps should be after paying school fees?

Thank you

Thank you.

Your sister in Canada can sponsor your studies in Canada. However, its highly advisable that you must demonstrate tangible family ties like properties, registered business and investments in your name to prove to the visa officer beyond every reasonable doubt that your incentives to return back to Nigeria far outweighs that of CANADA. Your ability to provide adequate ties to Nigeria determines your application success.



It will end in praise.

Hi Guru's in the house.

Please can my sister who resides in Canada be the sole sponsor for my studies in Canada? We are 5 years apart in age and she is the one truly paying my tuition.

Does anyone have any advise on what we ought to do or not to do?

Thank you

Hello House,

Can anyone help me with a post graduate course that will count towards increasing my crs score? And where I can take this course.

Second, can my one year work experience and pgd course be in thesame year? I want to do them simultaneously.

Kindly advise me people.

Thank you.

[quote author=LadyBR post=77009707][/quote]Kindly advise on raising this cse. The website says they would not respond to people that are still within the timeline, my 6 months is almost complete and I have noticed two application updates on my profile in the last 2 weeks and I am still expecting that good news. How would you advise I raise this cse? What should I ask about. I know my VO already.

And PPR came on a platter of gold....thanks to this thread!

If you're a lazy writer like me, I must warn you to start typing your story ahead. I didn't (), but more than determined to encourage someone with my story.

DECISION TO RUN
....the minute I returned to Nigeria from my masters in the UK in 2017. The pressure to go back for a PhD was high, but I wasn't going to let them turn me to a psycho. My masters was intense, hence, I needed a break.

Sooo I considered Australian visa 476 and the Australian PR, changed my mind. Next was Netherlands work year visa for graduates from the top 200 universities in the world to gain work experience. It's a 1year visa, but I was willing to give it a shot. Started gathering documents, but not wholeheartedly. Worse still, the people on that Netherlands student thread are sooo stingy with info....it would have taken me 3yrs to land in Netherlands.

Meanwhile, I knew about express entry somehow but thought I wasn't eligible cos I was a Graduate Trainee then, which wasn't a full time role. Also, where the hell was I gonna get POF from? (POF isn't required for the Netherlands work year visa). Still read page 1 and updates in my free time, but was scared of asking questions.

Finally gathered courage and asked the stupid question in July 2018 in Part 4 and got the shocker of my life...I was very eligible, infact, my NYSC experience was more than sufficient!!! WHAT The second shocker was the info on gift deed for POF! So why did I now come back to this Nigeria? Ohhh ignorance indeed is bliss...I sha followed alllll the Canadian express entry threads from Part 1 and my journey began.


ECA
Used WES, no WAEC requirement then. Considered evaluating my BSc for future purposes...those ones told me transcript is now 21k (flew from 8k I paid prior to my MSc), then posting outside Nigeria 15k...wonderful. Plus the stress I'd go through, didn't want any delay. Respected myself and evaluated only my Masters at £12, the future will take care of itself.


IELTS
I'm a very lazy writer, so my fear was writing. Observed you score less in the section you're most scared of (using my myself and friends as reference). Having written IELTS academic before (which is tougher than general), I knew whats up.

Concentrated on actually "writing" complete letters and essays before the exams, not just reading through....felt satisfied with my writing on exam day compared to my performance in the academic. So I was shocked when my result for writing was a 6.5....went with my gut feeling and requested for a remark. Remark returned positive after 5weeks.

By the way, I registered with MOD which I discovered and heard for the first time on this thread. BC was fully booked as usual.


POF
Was worried this wasn't available pre-ITA as one Uncle laidat I was hoping on kept giving me tales by moonlight. Later confirmed by reading through this thread that it was okay to have the POF in your account post ITA, as long as it was before the 60days deadline. Entered the pool asap and continued gathering docs while waiting for this story-telling Uncle.

Anyways, my mum came to the rescue and gifted me 100% of the POF (had to wait for her TBills to mature). Still had 700k jara in my savings account to give it flesh, so CIC won't think I don't have my own money. Invested the total sum in TBills for 3months, then duplicated @Newmum0615's LOE like a lifeline in explaining my source of funds. Sent back to her to proofread and she was like, this looks so much like mine (hehe, this woman thinks I came to play in this Canada struggle).

Ensured I didnt hide nothing, included gift deed (sample from page 1), transfer slip showing transfer from my mum, Tbills certificate, generic bank reference letter and 6months account statement printed 4 days before AOR.

NB - reinvested matured Tbills in fixed deposit early March... no CSE raised.


JOB REFERENCE
I switched roles within the same company, so was confused about combining two very seperate NOCs then (I hear it's possible for outland applicants as long as they fall in NOC 0, A or B). Sha used only one NOC, 2yrs experience (1year graduate trainee experience pre-MSc and 1 year graduate trainee experience post-MSc)...this was sufficient to get CRS of 456. No need complicating stuff, though the additional experience in the other NOC wldve shot up my CRS to 481.

Job reference was in CIC format drafted by me with go ahead from my boss. @Newmum0615 (this woman is God sent) helped edit the draft which I printed and gave to my boss to sign, not HR. My boss asked for the soft copy for her future use.

No payslips, no employment letter, no nothing... Just that one beautiful letter in CIC format listing my roles in the company.


MEDICALS
Funny I planned to complete mine at Prime Medicals in PH. This was no longer possible when I was due to carry out medicals, evidence that the process was getting tighter.

Booked ahead with Qlife late Sept way before ITA. Remember shaking my head in disbelieve when I was told the next available date was 9 Nov 2018 - booked this. Called early October to check if there was an earlier date since I was in Lagos and was told the next available date was March 2019. Dropped the call and hissed...they must be mad. Patiently waited till 9 Nov.


PCC
UK PCC was ready in 3days. Used my sister's address for hard copy, she scanned and sent the soft copy. Used Inspect Moshood for Nigerian PCC @3500 (discovered him on this thread as well). He sent the forms to my email which I filled, thumb printed were applicable and sent back to him.


POST-AOR
Thankfully, I got busy settling into my new job, so forgot about my application throughout December. Said I wasnt going to bother with gcms notes, CSEs or nothing. However, BIL/MEP came longer than expected, got curious and started checking progress of other Dec AORs on immitracker. I relaxed when I observed others hadn't gotten as well.

Later saw a rejection case mid January on immitracker (forgotten cause of rejection) Shuuuuu...I started worrying and included my application in my prayer point that my file was covered from going to AVO (sorry AVO guys). Raised my first CSE on 17 Feb to enquire about my VO and stylishly asked about status of application. Was surprised to get feedback on 19 Feb...VO was Ottawa, eligibility was being verified. Was so happy, dropped a huge amount in St. Vincent's 'help the poor" box the next Sunday.


PPR
Still on immitracker, noticed late DEC AORs were already getting PPR mid February...ok na. Started checking my gmail daily and CIC account once a week. Even took interest in my spam and deleted all spam "forever" after a thorough check.

Come March, number of PPRs for Dec AORs on immitracker increased. Doubled my CIC account weekly checks and increased gmail checks to 3 times a day My efforts were not in vain, saw the first ghost update on 16 March (application/profile update but no mail). Raised a CSE on 17 March enquiring what the update was about and stylishly asked for update on application as well.

Got a reply on 20 March that they can confirm a decision had been made on my application and I should be rest assured that I'd get a mail soon. Jesu!!! Quickly said a prayer for the Agent that sent that mail...God bless him. I then raaaaan to my gmail...nothing. Spam..nothing. Refreshed twice...nothing. Then checked my CIC account out of curiosity and saw the 2nd ghost update - 20 March.

Was certain of getting PPR in March. Saw the golden mail yesterday morning and just shouted yaaaasss. Called in sick and went to work an hour late. Gave me sufficient time to re-read the mail 10times and make my announcements to family and close friends. When I got to work, greeted every single person I passed from the gate down to the office....stranger or not. The joy got me in another mood.



To everyone on this thread....
Thanks for contributing on a daily and answering all the stupid questions, saved me a whole lotta money! Did I mention I looked for an agent's trouble and was told to pay $3000? I keep getting emails from them with varying discounts till date (if they like, they should discount till $100)

@newmum0615 thanks for making yourself available when I and others needed it most, you're appreciated. We'll meet someday in Canada, that I'm sure. A Nairaland party perhaps

To new hopefuls...please read page 1 and understand the process first. Again, there's so much information on this thread. Screenshot useful info for reference even when you don't need it yet, it helped me a whole lot. Stop waiting or procrastinating...do it now!

Phew.....thanks for reading

My reference letter from the bank.

I got my reference letter before investing in treasury bill.

MummyJaygirls:


SO WHAT DID U SUBMIT AS POF

Hello Joo2018.

I just submitted my application without uploading my payslip and treasury bill certificate. How do I include extra documents after submitting? or what do you think?

joo2018:
People have used either and gotten PPR. My 2cents: use employment.

Hello, please would you advice I fill nysc as government or employment in my PR application as I am about to submit.

joo2018:
Not mandatory if family composition didn't change.

However, my 2cents. It doesn't really cost much to fill the forms.

Hi Seniors in the house, do I fill NYSC as government or as employment?

Oakville19:


Some have done it themselves after watching YouTube videos but it may get rejected as not properly done ....would suggest you go to the police station where you intend to do your Nigerian PCC and have an officer do it for you for a token fee.

Oakville19 do you know anyone who declined an ITA and later got PR?

Thanks a lot Oakville19.

My next question now is what to do if I noticed I did not use my middle name as written on my passport on my EE application and I have received my ITA?

[quote author=GlitteringStar post=69989273][/quote]

Please can you advice on how to go about police clearance certificate for the United States?

I have downloaded the form from the website but not sure if I am to put my finger print myself or there is a body that can do this for some fees.

Please help.
