Hi.
My broda and he's wife just relocated to UK on NHS work visa this Jan but they got PPR 2 days ago. Does he need to inform accra VO (he's afraid of doing this cos he's 2019 AOR) of the change in address and can he send his family passport to the VO in London? Pls respond if you can. Also how does he inform them of a change in mailing address? Thanks

I believe he can send his passport to London vo directly since Nigerians from here already do so, and it's not up to a month since he relocated. It might as well be seen as a vacation.
But wait, let others also weigh in.
Congratulations to your brother and his wife!!

Hello guys.

I recently got my ITA from the latest PNP draw.

I tried booking a date for medical when I realized there's no available date again this year.

Who's willing to sell his/her spot, or how else can I go about this?

You can submit your application with a proof of medical booking and an Loe explaining the situation. When the date of booked medicals come, you do it and update via webform and email. It's even better because your medicals will not expire exactly a year after your submission, but a year after the medical is updated to IRCC. This is helpful if (God forbid) PPR takes longer than a year after AOR.
All this selling and buying dates will just keep leading people to book and hoard dates, leaving the ones that actually need it stranded. That's if date swapping even still works

PanicButton:


Thanks for such a detailed response. I just submitted my package to UPS in Abuja to deliver to the VFS in Abuja. I didn't pay any fee aside the courier sum. Do you have any idea on how I could ascertain the actual transmission fee to be paid to the VFS in Abuja. For added info, I did my biometrics in Abuja.

You're welcome. Your question has already been answered. Wishing you the best

lasignor:
Fee is now 415GHS.

Thanks. I have edited it

Hi guys,

After my issued PPR, and with my VO being Ottawa:

1. Can I send to any Visa office for my COPR to be issued or must it be Ottawa.
2. Do I go straight to DHL to transmit the documents to the designated Visa office.
3. I see something about transmission fee on my letter. When is it to be paid, and how do I go about it.

I need help with the process. My location is Abuja.
I would appreciate your assistance. Thanks.

2. Wait for the VFS tracking details— they will give you update on when it will be sent to IRCC and when it will be returned to you
3. Wait for the return of your passport— VFS also uses DHL to return— you don't pay for it, it's included in the GHC 415

Richdee1:


No be me and you guy! Rest abeg
You don use an shine abi?
Be like say you dey high

The problem here, dear Richdee is that you gave the wrong information. You also said "why WE don't..." like you're already in the process. It's a good thing that you're here and you want to learn in order to prepare for your future. Shows that you are smart. But it's important that you remain humble, learn and correct yourself where necessary. If you keep on answering questions wrongly, and as if you're in this process, you end up misleading people. This is not wise. When finally, you're done with school and ready to start the process, if you fall into any problems and need clarification, no one will believe you. You will be like the boy who cried "wolf". Because you had deceived everyone previously.
Also resorting to insults when corrected shows immaturity at any age. I'm sure that's not how you want to look either.

So learn, take correction, and be wise! Wishing you well.

Hello All,
I need help!
AOR- October 2020. So I ordered gcms notes in June only to receive this morning and see that my application had been approved and the VO was Accra.
I was surprised and confused as I check my cic profile and emails regularly. So i just did a keyword search for “Accra” in my mailbox only to discover that I had received a passport request email from the Accra office months ago and it was sitting in my junk folder with a 30day deadline to submit my passport.
I need advise on the next steps please (I have sent a web form to the Accra office and sent an email).

I pray that Accra responds favorably. I pray that protocols are broken for you in Jesus name. I don't really have an answer for you. I even tried to search but nothing was coming up. I only pray that God hears my sincere prayers for you. Amen.

MissMa01:

There’s only one person I know on this forum that replies like this. Mmamaroon, is that you?

I was going to ask the same question. Even the name @Graciouswords "smells" like her

Wendyok:

Hello Miredo I did and I have been on this for two days now. I got the same noc as a financial sales representative. Where I had challenges with was how to apply cos I haven't registered the business yet and the pos is registered in my name from the bank.
I didn't understand what do as the only certificate given from the bank was to show that I am a certified agent. That is why I don't know what to do at this point.

Take this with a pinch of salt. It may be wrong. Hear from others as well. Do your research
IRCC wants proof that you have done the work you're claiming points for. So these are the options you have
1. Ask the bank to write a reference letter stating that you are an external Financial sales representative (money agent) for them. It should be written in IRCC format stating your duties and how long you have done it. Then you submit your statement of account, the certificate you were given by the bank and any other documents, receipts you have that can proof you actually do this.
2. You register your business now. Then you submit all the documents required for self employment, and an LOE explaining that you just incorporated your business, but you operated on a sole proprietorship model before now. In any case, to go the self employment route, you still need third party reference letters from any credible clients you have and from the bank. So the only difference between option 1 and 2 is that you incorporate the company.
See the documents needed for self employment

We offer the following services on behalf of the bank.

* Account opening
* pay bills

I don't know how to use this to gain experience
for express entry.

Omo, do you know that if you had just typed this on google, you would have saved the energy you have used to type this so many times on NL. In this journey, research and google are your friends o.
Anyway, check NOC 6235. You can use that and apply as self employed if your business is registered

muhammedhammed:
Hi, i need someone to explain, which is better;
(1) to apply as a single applicant get ITA, then add spouse post AOR or;
(2) add spouse at the initial stage...

You can't apply as a single applicant if you're married. People add spouse post AOR only if they got married after submitting their application.

Debbieeeeeee:

Ottawa VO? I know three people that have been approved going by their gcms note since middle of 2020 but no word from Ottawa VO till date and they’ve been sending ready for travel email and all

It was Accra VO. I suggested that since that's her secondary VO. I guess Ottawa lockdown is causing the delays. It is well sha. It must end in praise!

olaolu39:
Please can i apply for EOR (IELTS remark) when i have not been given hard copy results.

Yes you can.

NneAku344:


I have no idea why it's taking so long o. From the gcms notes, everything looks good.

Maybe you should send them a ready to travel email quoting your gcms notes that says everything has been approved. In fact, write anything you want in the email Someone wrote to them this new year saying he doesn't want to live the year in anxiety, after waiting since 2019, that everything has been approved as per gcms notes, that if they don't want him to go, they should let him know...lol. It worked and they sent PPR within 2 days. You can also call, although that requires patience and perseverance . I wish you God speed

NneAku344:
We ordered for gcms notes and received it today.
The summary of the assessment on page 2 says;
Eligibility - Passed. Criminality - Passed.
Medical - Passed. Info sharing - complete
Final - Approved.
Primary VO is - Ottawa. Secondary VO - Accra.
Hopefully, PPR mail would come soon by God's grace.

Congratulations in advance. I'm happy for you oo. What's your AOR? if you don't mind my asking

Hello house. Someone should please add me to January 2021 post AOR group. I will be grateful

Send an email to nov2020aor@gmail.com

Palaexpress:
Hello house,

I am thinking of adding a LOE to my application, and here's the reason:

I did a 3 years program abroad, but I finished in 2years + 6months. Since I was ready to return to the country, I sent my passport to the immigration dept to shorten my visa. So, the official expiration date was reviewed.

So, the 3rd year visa page has a stamp tagged "Amended", and on the reverse side of that page, the comment says "the validity of student pass appears on page 5 has been terminated to 29/07/2019. Note: that was the date I left.

So, is the LOE necessary to explain that the amendment was not because I did anything wrong?

Thank you very much.

I understand your concern, but I don't think it's necessary. "Amended" doesn't show you committed a crime. It just means something was changed. If anything, because of the information sharing between countries, they can ask your country of education the reason for the amendment. (Which I still think is far-fetched)
I believe you can go ahead with your application with no fear.

Mmamaroon:


Good move to call out all the parties on Twitter. I notice VFS seems to have responded.

I know COVID delayed some Mar PPR submissions and similar to his scenario, COPR was issued in Sept and passports were returned.... perhaps there are more Mar PPR people in his shoes.

Another option is to travel to Ghana with an ETC and request his passport physically or nominate a lawyer as a representative who can go and ask for it. Even ordinary visitor's visa, we have a right to have our passports back and especially if the COPR has been issued as per his MyCIC profile.

It will end well for him and for us all by God's grace.

Amen o. Thank you. I'll relay this information to him

Please guys I need your help. Someone in my group got his PPR and sent his passport to Accra and for over 10 months hasn't received his passport back. We have been trying to find solutions to the problem and he decided to make a Twitter post. But he needs to gain traction.
All you have to do is click on the link and retweet, so the right people can see it.

With his permission, I'm sharing his story below and the link, so you can help in any way:

https://twitter.com/weirdsourcer/status/1348711487930572803?s=19

Hello guys, please I need your help to get the attention of the Canadian visa office in canada accra VO has refused to return my passport since they stamped my passport in September, they have withheld my travel document for 11 months now. Let me first drop my details before my story.

Name: Weird Sourcer
ITA: September 2019
AOR: October 15 2019
BIL: November 1 2019
Additional Family information: January 14 2020
PPR: March 16 2020
CoPR and Visa stamping: September 22 2020
Date of Travel: within a week of returning my passport
Province of Landing: Ontario
Intended Job: supply chain Analyst/manager

Not yet collected my passport.

So my story, I got my PPR in March just before the lockdown so I quickly went to Lagos to submit my passport on March 16, I think the lockdown was effected on March 22 so I didn't hear anything from the visa office, however VFS said they had not received my passport.

Fast forward September 22, I got the usual application portal notification to check my page, I was very happy when I found that my passport has been stamped. So, I quickly paid courier service to VFS Lagos as they had advised on their webpage.

However, a month later, October around 22 to 25, I got a call from the Accra VO telling me that my passport is still with them and that do I know I won't be able to travel to Canada, and I responded in the affirmation but that I would love to have my passport back because I had been missing opportunities because I didn't have access to my passport. And even, my visa will expire in March

Since then, I've tried to call their number to no avail
It will just drop, the ton ton sound, without connecting. My emails also was not responded to. My passport has been with them for 10 months now, more than 3 months after visa stamping.

I requested for GCMS on January 2.

Kindly help if you know anything I can do to make this end. Kindly share and tag anyone you think can advance the resolution of my case.

Mmamaroon:


C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S Amaya!
Praise God!!!

Abeg find another VFS office to send your passports for COPR...I hear the VFS Lagos/Accra VO collabo is taking 2 months on average!

Someone submitted his passport to Accra VO since April 2020 and is yet to receive it. He contacted IRCC several times and was finally sent a mail to contact Accra for it or withdraw his application. It's been 10 months since PPR. Omo!!
This journey ehn. Na only God. I'm putting him in my prayers. May God help us all

amaya21:
Thanks Mmamaroon! I am considering the London route. I have also heard it is taking Accra 2 to 3 months to stamp and return passports and COPR. Just imagine!

Have you considered Dubai or Cairo? Some people in my group that got PPR were talking about it. Although no concrete arrangements yet. London is on lockdown and your passport may also be delayed there. It's worth researching.
May Canada favor you and the rest of this journey be smooth for you in Jesus name Amen

amaya21:
Guys, PPR landed yesterday!!!!!!

AOR: Sep 10, 2019 (yes, you read that correctly)

VO: Accra

PPR: 8th January 2021.

No idea why it took so long - I had no ADRs and I sent plenty of webforms and emails. Anyway, the point is that Accra has finally released us. Thank God!!!

Congratulations. So happy for you. May Canada favor you

abeesawlah12345:
Good morning
Pls can my mother-in-law do a gift deed for me as my spouse is not accompanying?
I want her to send the money to my account. Would this pose any problem?
Pls I’d appreciate your replies

May I ask why your spouse is non-accompanying? Put yourself in the shoes of a Visa Officer, is there a good reason why your mother in law will give you money to travel when her child isn't going with you? If you think you have a good reason, go ahead.
But in my opinion (may not be valid), it's better one of your parents give you the money, or your spouse goes with you.

Seniors in the house,
Thanks for this platform.
Just a couple of questions, I recently got married I am 28 yrs. I have just a B.ENG with 3 years experience, hopefully I will get certified by BCSand max out ietls. My wife has a HND in mass communication. Please, should I include my wife during this process ? Considering the fact that there is more point for singles, along with age advantage.

Since you are 28, you have age on your side. With your BCS and your wife's HND, both of you have 2 or more certificates. You can evaluate all your certificates and your wife's with WES. If you both get good IELTS scores, and your 3 years experience, you're good to go. You will get a good score. Go ahead and include your wife

klexycole:


Thanks for this extensive response. OND & HND should be perfect in this case.

Another one please, is it necessary to have a spouse's (not the pain applicant) certificate evaluated too?

God bless you.

Use the CRS calculator https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp to see your score. See both with and without your spouse ECA to see what your scores are, in line with the recent trend for ITA. That will help you determine if you need it or not. Last cutoff was 468 for the general draw. It may be above or below at the next draw. No one knows.
Based on your CRS score, you can decide to or not.
But to get higher points, it's always advisable to do so. Although I have met some people that don't need it
