Good Evening. So I'm married and I'm still using my maiden name on my passport but my NIN is my martial surname. I'm trying to apply for PCC online and when creating an account ,as i entered my NIN, my martial surname pops up meaning that my PCC would be in that surname which is different from my passport. kindly advice. Do i change my NIN back to my maiden name?
There's the option of offline PCC. I'd suggest that you explore that rather than face the struggles of name changes. The offline version PCC is still very much in use and acceptable by IRCC, so you have nothing to worry about.

My score is well above the minimum score (504) but I haven’t gotten any message even on my portal.

Please for those that have gotten ITA in the past, is it normal
Yes it is. Check again between 10pm tonight and noon tomorrow, if you're in Nigeria.

Congrats

Thank you, Does rewriting invalidate the previous result? Also We are family of three, just applied for my baby passport(with Nigerian factor I envisaged 6months to get the passport), do I need this passport to go into the pool?
No, you don't

Sitting on this fence with you. It's coming down anyways, even though very slowly, its sha coming down. Meanwhile i'm a bit concerned about this TEER system that comes into effect on the 16th of November. i've read that it will favour some and not so much others. Please all the EE draw analysts, any idea when it will come below 500? I'm sitting in the 490's and wondering if it will get that low by some miracle this year
From rough estimation, it should go below 500 within the next 5-6 draws, albeit with the following assumptions:
- The frequency of draws remain consistent
- The number of ITAs issued continues to increase by at least the same rate
- There isn't an unusual surge in the number of provincial nominations (The entrance of Ontario and Alberta would likely cause a significant shift, since Sask and Manitoba appear to be the only active provinces in this regard at the moment)
- People desist from creating pseudo cic accounts.
- There isn't another disease outbreak that'll militate against immigration plans,

Keep believing!

Hello House, please I need advise my friend in Canada agreed that I should claim him as a family member to earn more point, I just want to ask for ideas how I can proof it to the immigration. What documents would I need.

Thanks
If you had gone through the thread from part 2 (at least from where I joined), you'd realize that we strongly condemn any such dubious acts that'll compromise the integrity of the process.

Your friend is not your brother and this will never change. No one here, as far as I know will help you cheat the system. Besides, you are exposing yourself to a possible lengthy ban when you eventually get caught. Even if it's after 20 years and 5 children, you (and your household) will be stripped of everything, removed from Canada and blacklisted.

This is what it reads on one of her personal websites:
"Eno Eka is a business analyst and change manager based in Calgary, Alberta. She is an award-winning career coach and speaker who has been recognized for helping more than 20,000 professionals around the world kickstart their professional careers. "

Something was always suspicious to me about this lady the first time I encountered her. It was that desire to just collect your money. I'd steer clear of this person. They belong in the fake it till you make it gang.
She does claim to have received multiple awards and recognitions for her stellar works and results. Could those be made up too? I'm really interested in this exposé to help demystify a few things.

I see one of my former colleagues (at one of the consulting big 4 I worked with) as one of the "testifiers" in one of Eno's ads. i"m wondering if that is also arranged, given that she used her real name and can easily be verified. Perhaps there might be some truth in what she's selling, only that they may be grossly exaggerated.

Your (and other) thoughts are welcome

It isn't kindness that makes the system here work. It is the fear of the government. The fear of consequences that come when you fall on the wrong side of the law. The laws are designed to milk you dry with draconian fines if you offend and if you can't pay, or you're a serial repeat-offender, na prison straight. The government officials I've observed do not hate or love you, they feel your pain but are remorseless when it comes to punishing offenders. That's why the mantra here appears to be 'Ija wa, Ija osi... always guiding' which roughly translates to 'bro, err on the side of caution.'
Having said that, if you obey the law, nobody send you for here o! Just paro lo!!
Beautiful! Such an interesting read

I'm starting my canada immigration process with an Agency called Greenlight immigration. Please I want advice to know my chances. They said my best option is to immigrant to Canada via Work visa. Does anybody know about this agency and it they are to be trusted? And also how long does it take for everything to pull through? Please I need as much response as possible. Thanks
You only need one response, which you may not like.

Stay away from agents who come with beautiful promises of work visas. 9 out of 10 times, they're not really whom they say they are.

Greetings everyone,

I am new here and i am happy to be in the folk. its a pleasure guys.

Please i read here that we can send our certificates and transcripts to WES through Fax. But my question is

1. Nigeria is not in the list of countries for assigning fax numbers. Can i use another country other than Nigeria to open and operate my Fax mail?

2. I learnt WES will send the documents (certificates and transcripts) back to awarding institution for confirmation. Then, how would my awarding institution here in Nigeria get the documents back for confirmation, since i used Fax mail in sending it out.

3. Can my certificate be sent for evaluation to increase points of my spouse, as the Principal Applicant? Just as i would embark on a language test to help increase points of my spouse as the Principal Applicant

Please, can someone help me out. i need urgent clarifications from the house. Thanks everyone.
1. You do not need to use any of that. Visit https://www.hellofax.com/ and enjoy free faxing. Do note that the free version has its limits.

2. Read the links related to WES/ECA on page zero to have a better understanding on how ECA works.

3. Yes.

You won't be denied a visa after getting PPR. If there's a concern with your application that may require further scrutiny, you would get a notification for that in your account.

So sorry for the unfortunate situation.

Sadly, it appears nothing can be done to change this. The reason for the rejection is one that I've seen many people lose appeals for over the years. I'll advise you pick up the pieces and look elsewhere.
