kclub83: please, for those that have applied for the federal skill program, how much is the payment after subsmitting your application coz i need to know to be able to prepare myself for the payment.
It is depending on your family size.

solomonwis: Well,not my friend..I just happened to be privy to this info...

The thing is,this person sent a property valuation along with his application( He had part fund in liquid and he felt he could show the remaining as asset).

The liquid fund was accepted (in the form of bank statement) but it was not up to the required amount for his family (because his property valuation that was supposed to make up the remaining balance was not accepted as proof of fund).
Thanks a lot Solowise. Its clearer now. I'll only use POF in form of a bank balance. no property valuation for now.
Thanks.

solomonwis: Let me respond to this with somebody's very recent experience:



There's no need mentioning your aunt in your application as the very essence of that (point for adaptability) is not necessary.
Thanks Solo. Just to clarify; did your friend not send a correct amount for POF when submitting to CIO Sydney? (initial application) or is it that they needed a current bank statement. Or they went behind him to check his bank account after he visited Ghana.
Please just give the tip clearly as it seems 40% clear to me.
Thanks.

damkollins: Permit me to ask your family size .....if the amount you have in account is equal or more than the fund you needmfor your family size,I'll advice you to do away with mentioning or evaluating your so called assets or properties.

If you are able to get your statement of account by the end of this week,you can still use it between 3 to 6 weeks.......not a law/rule,it has worked for me before so I'm sure it's safe.
As per your Aunty,including her details does not affect you since you are not claiming points under adaptability.Just make sure you are able to provide all the required evidences as requested ..........otherwise ,ignore her details completely.

Q11,it is not compulsory you evaluate your properties.....no penalties.If the cash you have in your account is enough for your family size,I'll advice you to forget your properties .
Cheers.
My family size is just 2. Me and my wife.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Meritl:
Hello house. In respect to the PROOF OF FUNDS, I've got about 16,000 CAD in my account. I've also got a property also. Do i need to include a valuation of property as part of PROOF OF FUNDS at this stage of my application.

I also intend getting a bank balance by the end of this week or next week but submitting my application by Ist week of September. Will the gap between getting by balance and submitting my application be too long.


In addition, I need some advice with regards to the SCHEDULE 3 : ECONOMIC CLASSES FORM.

QUESTION 10= I have my Aunt in Canada but I'm not using her for points under adaptability because she's still under some government benefits. So is there any need of mentioning her since she can't give me the required docs. I don't want a situation whereby I don't mention her now and I say otherwise in the coming years.

QUESTION 11= It. Seems I need to do an evaluation of my properties in order to fill this section. Please give me advice on this section.

Quite lengthy, but ............ .... Please.


Thanks.

scrollmeout: @Meritl, @damkollins, @zeelo2014, thanks for the compliment s

I have spent too much, studied too hard, and put too much effort to give up. My success is not limited by others, so why should I withhold info that could help others.

@Anbako and others yet to submit, all d best with your application. Pls remember to make copies of everything u send. I was encouraged by two of my managers two years ago, guess what? They're presently with their families in Canada at the moment.
That's great.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Meritl: 8:11pm On Aug 09, 2014
That's a nice exposé from scrollmeout.
Unlike others that may say " let others fall on the same trap so that the space will not be filled on time".
God truly bless you.

damkollins: Congrats in advance !
Is your spouse to be adding points for on the adaptability side or you were able to meet the 67 points without spouse input?
Cheers
.
yes, she will be adding points under adaptability. After my IELTS, I had 66 points. That necessitated her writing IELTS.

technolee: Don't give yourself too much headache my brother. I took the courage to finalise my package yesterday and had been mailed to sydney. Just leave the part for your name in 'native language' blank and carry on with the process.
How far? What stage are you in the process or are you yet to conclude your wedding??. I wish us all, the best in our immigration quest.
ok Technolee. Lol, my marriage will be this August. She will write her IELTS on the 16th of August. sWill fix a date at the registry for late August and send my application by first week of September.

ANBAKO: House,
Finally, my application is complete. I will be stamping my account statements this morning with my bank. This is the only outstanding document.

I plan to send in my application tomorrow through DHL.
I have checked and rechecked this application and the document.

All the same I want the house to advise on any common mistakes that are possible....so as to do final checking before submission......
Thanks.
just to remind you of the advice given by a member, some days ago: ENSURE THAT ANY NAME YOU ARE WRITING TALLIES IN ALL SECTIONS. E.g don't write your place of birth as delta State in one place and write Warri, Delta State'' in another place.. Things like that.

meta4: Hello House, Please did anybody here write the IELTS for 19th July? have anyone got their results yet, i thought it was suppose to be out from 1st Aug. i have written them but no response even after their "give 3 working days for response"
Any news from anybody please?

Plus anybody in the House that attended UNIBEN? i've applied for my transcript since June 13th, up till now, it has bnot been sent to ICAS. i got an update from ETX-NG that my result is still being collated...How how long? anybody with links to helping me get this done urgently?
Hi. I finished from UNIBEN. I will advice that you send someone to monitor the transcript process because they are usually slow in it. Depending on your department though;as some could be more difficult than others. I am from the Engineering constituency in case you are too. I've got a contact in that section. Hope this helps.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Meritl: 12:07pm On Aug 06, 2014
Hello house. I think there were a lot of changes to the forms. The forms updated as at August 2014 are :Documents Checklist, Additional Dependants form and The Fee Payment form.

ayofissy: thanks so much
i want to ask who should be the principal applicant, am a medical doctor and my wife is nurse i heard nurses has more edge and processing is simpler in respect to credentials assessment is this true? and do both of us need to do the ielts now? or is it the principal applicant alone for now.
If after doing your personal evaluation and you see that your 67 points is a bit shaky, then its better for your wife to take the IELTS as it will boost your marks.

damkollins:
1.Its not compulsory but you can write your native names in your dialect there.
2.Nope.NYSC does not fall into such category .
Cheers.
Thanks. So, I just write Not Applicable (N/A), since I'm not to leave any question blank.
Thanks to ANBAKO too.

Hello house.
Please I've got a number of questions.


1. How do I write my name in my native language in IMM5669.
2. Under "military or paramilitary service", can I fill yes, based on NYSC levels.
Thanks.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Meritl:
damkollins: IMM5669
IMM 5406
Cheers.
Thanks a lot damkollins.
I have read/known that we are to fill those forms separately.
I was actually asking if there is any form we are to append our signature together,in that same form.
Hope you understand.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Meritl: 9:12pm On Aug 02, 2014
Please can the house tell me the form where me and my wife needs to sign? I'm the principal applicant.
I've read on a forum where I saw sth like this.

MCqueens: Goodday house, pls does any one know d address of british council test centre in Benin city? There is an error message of late on the test site to register for IELTS.what is the process of making payment via bank deposit or bank draft?
The British Council does not have an Office in Benin. To make a payment via bank draft, register online and use the pay later option. Then go to a bank and raise a draft in favour of the British council. Attach the application form, draft, data page of your international passport along with a letter to them in Abuja stating your name and details.

sexysisi: Hi house. I was preparing for australian pr until I saw this thread. .I stopped checking cic since last year because I never knew accountants wld be back on the list. I registered for ielts academics because thats the requirement for accountants in Australia but Canada is general. Do I have to change it or i should go ahead with it. Tnx peeps.
Only general training is accepted. You will have to ask for a change of type. If the change is possible, then you are fine. Else, you will have to re-register for the general training version.

ANBAKO: I think you meant to say that the passport is about 3mm longer and not 3 cmm which is equal to 30mm. The latter means you were given double the required size.

If the difference is 3mm (not 3cm)......I dont think that should be an issue.

Good luck.
You are right ANBAKO. It was about 3-4 mm longer on both sides.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Meritl: 11:51pm On Jul 29, 2014
Hello House. I just got a worry that I call "little".
I took my passport photograph from Photoshop. I showed them the specifications but, when I took the passport home and measured with my Ruler, I discovered that the passports were about 3 centimers
Longer than the (35X45mm) stated size.
Do I need a retake or its still in order.
Thanks.

solomonwis: Where payslip is not available,you can include a copy of your employment,confirmation of employment or promotion letter where your annual/monthly salary is mentioned. You can highlight the part where your remuneration is mentioned. This will stand as evidence of salary earned.

If your work reference letter explicitly state how much your salary is,you need not worry about providing a payslip.
Thanks Mr Solo.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Meritl: 8:40pm On Jul 28, 2014
Hello House. I have only been able to get the payslip from one of the companies I worked for. I have worked with two companies and was only able to get the payslip for the company I currently work with. Will there be any consequence if I submitt for only one of these companies.

Let's stop this attack on ourselves. Solo I think, is trying to tell us not to expose the tricks that may make us succeed. We should not just come out naked with our bypassing skills as, the CIC guys may be snooping sites like this to see what people are planning.

damkollins: [b]1.The generic form has the capacity to take up to 5 dependants for the principal applicant.If the principal applicant has more than 5 dependants(accompanying or not),the principal applicant will use form IMM 0008DEP to complete the quantity of dependants.If the principal applicants does not have up to 5 dependants,he or she is not expected to use the IMM 0008DEP form.
In your scenario if I understood you well,you do not need to include IMM 0008DEP since you do not have dependants except your spouse.
Please note that dependant in the context of IMM 0008DEP is referring only yo the principal applicant ONLY.

2.PCC is ONLY mean for the principal applicant and his/her dependants that are 18 years and above.Please note that dependants in this context does not refer to you parents and siblings.Your dependants realistically refers to you,
your spouse,
your children,
your adopted children(with legal evidence),
common law partner,
grandchild,
step children,
step-grandchildren.....(see attached pix)
In your scenario again,PCC is only requested from you and your spouse ONLY.

3.Passport photographs is to be provided by the principal applicants and his/her dependants (see my description above on dependants)
In your scenario again,your passport photographs and your spouse ONLY is requested.

4.You do not need to include IMM 0008DEP form as it is not applicable to you.
If you are not using agents,you are not also to include the IMM 5476E form.
You are not to include IMM 5604 too if it doesn't concern you.
You are not to include IMM 5409 if it doesnt concern you.
Summarily....Only submit/attach forms applicable to you.
Cheers.[/b]
Thanks a lot . This was really a nice exposé. God bless.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Meritl: 8:30am On Jul 25, 2014
Good morning hose.
Please I need some info in filling these forms.
1. Do I need to fill or send the “Additional Dependants/Declaration Form” (IMM 0008DEP) (if applicable) Completed, dated and signed by the principal applicant if the applicant has more than five dependants (whether they are accompanying or not), as I do not have any dependants neither does my wife.
2. I am a bit confused on who is to provide Police Certificates and Clearances.
Is it only me and my wife (we do not have kids)? Or it is to be provided by me, my brothers, sisters and parents alongside my wife, her parents, brothers and sisters.
3. I need clarification on who is to provide passport photographs
(Photo Requirements: Supply six (6) photos for each member of your family, whether accompanying or not, and yourself). Is it only me and my wife (we do not have kids)? Or it is to be provided by me, my brothers, sisters and parents alongside my wife, her parents, brothers and sisters.
4. Do I need to fill or send the Additional dependants/Declaration form (IMM 0008DEP) (if applicable) as I do not have any dependant.
Thanks.
