Good day my seniors in this hustle, please this POF;
1. How long is it meant to be in my account for? Does it matter that it has not fully accumulated as at when I get an ITA and I only put it together after the ITA?
2. After getting AOR, does it still need to be there untouched?

Hi
1. Just do a gift deed, invest the money, submit the necessary documents, and chill.
2. Yes. It is not uncommon for VOs to request for updated POF after AOR.

No, just the Nigeria driver's license

Thank you

Good day everyone
Please is driver's abstract required in Calgary, AB?

arasola2000:
Good morning all.
Please for the reference letter from my employer, is it a to whom it may concern or must it be addressed to the province office?
Also, will generic reference letters from previous employers suffice?
Thank you.

Hi. To whom it may concern is fine.
If you're claiming points from previous place of work, generic won't suffice. There are things IRCC expect to be included in your reference letter. See page one for details.

bigmills:
I have sent it already as it is.
My former box travelled and its already the deadline.The figure on it tallies with my initial employment letter anyways.
We go get good news by God's grace.

Amen

bigmills:
There was no tax o..It's already printed on letterhead and stamped

If you can, please add tax deductions. It is typical for visa officers to ask for tax certificate for a particular work experience as ADR.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
Do I need to attach any additional document to the salary certificate or just the salary certificate is enough

Hi. Just the salary certificate is enough.

bigmills:
Hi Everyone,
I hope we are all doing well.
I am new here.
IRCC reached out to me today to send some documents including 6 months of proof of income (eg. bank statements, pay slips) to show that you were paid for the professional work I claimed I did in Nigeria and IMM5669 Schedule A (I have downloaded this from the IRCC website)
One of the jobs was as far back as 2011 and payment was cash (I didn't state this in my initial application) though.
My Questions are as follows;
i. Will payslips alone be enough?
ii. If Payslip is enough, is there a Payslip template specifically for Nigeria?
iii. If there is Payslip template, can someone please provide one. I can create the details and get the companies to print on letter head with
stamp or seal.
Please help!!! Good news for all of us

Hi. You can do a salary certificate

MrWalterW83:
1) Can a pure water company be accepted as a legitimate company for the purposes of Canadian immigration?
2) Is the N200k excessive to receive as salary for managing such a company?
3) Is there a NOC for business management or something similar?
4) Does it matter that it is a family-owned company? Any letter (such as recommendation letter) would be written by Dad and that would make the relationship between us obvious as it would show we share a surname.
s) Can you use experience from 2 totally different jobs? For example could I use one year of my engineering experience at the ministry and combine that with the couple of years at my family's company?
6) If question 5 above is possible, how does that affect the NOC you're supposed to pick? I believe you're limited to choosing just one NOC. Does that mean that you select a NOC that covers one of the 2 jobs while ignoring the other one?

Hi
1. The important thing is your role in the organisation and not the company background. So yes, it can be accepted.
2. It is okay
3. There should be. Use the NOC finder on the IRCC website.
4. It doesn't matter so far as you can provide the necessary documents required by IRCC when submitting your application or any additional documents that may be required in the future.
5 and 6. Yes, you can use multiple NOCs. Your one year NYSC and the couple of years at your dad's company can be used.

Do what GraciousWords advised to get more info on the matter. All the best.

Professionals have sat down and deliberated on new immigration policies in line with their country's future economic goals and objectives, so no amount of bickering will change this. It is out of our control. So please we shouldn't insult one another cos of things we have no control over.

Immigration policies will not favour everyone. Sad, but this is the truth. Just like how the UK immigration favours mostly those in the health industry. It is also likewise for many other countries. It is annoying, understandably, but please get over it.

Focus. Let us not direct our energies to things we can not change. Rather, focus on things you can do to better position yourself and boost your chances of getting an ITA. Remember, it is your future and no one elses. Do your part. Do your best. And always remain hopeful.

soulmate19:
Please can I open a new account and fixed the POF there, then use the certificate? Hope this won’t raise any issue as it will be a recently opened account. Thanks for your contribution

Hi. Fixing the money and using the certificate is not a bad idea. But why open a new account? It may seem dodgy to a visa officer. Also consider the fact that you'll need a reference letter and/or non-indebtedness letter from the bank.

If your POF is a lump sum, you must explain how you got it and with proof. If it is a gift, do a gift deed. Sales of property, show sales proceedings. Or an accumulation of salaries, show salary account.

saskatoonguy:
For this that their FSW AOR is 2019 & 2020. For the issue of POF, how were you able to do it. Considering the fact that you waited for almost 2years or more than that after getting an ITA. Did you leave the POF untouched or how did you do it? Just curious

Hi. With an AOR of 2019, I invested mine and forgot about it. Didn't touch it till I got PPR. Things to consider:
1. Invest it so it grows and it doesn't devalue. For example, you can save it in dollars, put in fix deposit or any other lucrative investment scheme. Seek advice.

2. Times are hard, applications are different, nothing is set in stone. I was never asked for updated POF, but it is common for a visa officer to request for updated POF at any point in time during your wait for PPR. After waiting for so long and after the many difficult rigmaroles, you don't want stories that touch. There are examples of this if you read further back. My advise, invest it and let it be.

Feliwalt12:
Please I need advice, I am currently preparing my documents to enter the pool, my husband is already in the pool we think it's better I become the PA becos of my age and I have a master's degree, but I have questions regarding my work experience, I was in teaching for about 3yrs during and after my service before I got my current job which I'm just 4months into, I can get a reference letter from my previous school but I'm worried because it's not a very big school and I'm not sure if they have a website or online presence, but with my current job I have no worries, please what how best can I go about this.

Hi. My advice based on my own application, submit reference letter in IRCC format and include proof of salary payment.

Dimple10:
Are you sure? maybe i'm misinterpreting this...

The stuff you highlighted only stands if the spouse is accompanying. It is even mentioned at the beginning of the first statement you highlighted.

Dimple10:
You can still show funds in his account o. I don't think it's necessary to do a gift deed. He just needs to write an authorisation letter saying you/kids/him have access to funds in his account for purpose of EE. Better still have him transfer to you and then you write an LOE stating who it's from.
Don't forget that you'll still include POF for him as well as medicals and PCC despite unaccompanying

She can't because he's not accompanying. The funds need be in her account since she's going without him.

Maggiespecial:
Good day everyone,
Please I need your help. I have a question
Can we use my own bank account as POF because my husband is the PA??

If it is a joint account, yes you can. If not, you'd need to write a consent form to show he has access to the funds in your account and notarize said letter if possible.

elainemia:
Good day everyone,
A question please
Can my non-accompanying spouse gift me POF?
When we planned on going together part of the funds were in his account now that our plans have changed and I’ll be going alone with the kids for now I hear I can’t show POF in his account as he is not accompanying. Therefore, can my husband now gift me the funds and we do a gift deed?
Your response will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. Yes your husband can gift you the funds and you do a gift deed.

Winkky:
Thank you @GraciousWords
I have read through everything in the link you sent to me and I understand all the requirements now.
We had a lengthy discussion and he opened up that he is not in the child’s life, the child does not know him as a dad and he doesn’t even believe he impregnated the lady in the first place, she disappeared after they broke up and came back later with the child, that it is just his family being emotional and acknowledging the lady and her child because she was close to them when they were dating. He said he will request for a DNA when he is psychologically ready but right now he doesn’t see the child as his, so he cannot allow me to put it on our application. I didn’t know about this before marriage anyway.
So I am confused, stuck, and seeing my Japa dream in flames after acing IELTS, TEF, with a masters and over 7yrs work experience and my POF intact.
Is there a way out for me, what options do I have or I should just accept my destiny and hope my children will make it out on their in future…

Your last statement really got to me. I just feel like if your spouse can match your level of enthusiasm to relocate, this really isn't an issue. Plus, I feel like your spouse should be eager to know if the child is theirs or not so they can start taking responsibility or not as the case may be. Do what Ednut and Dimple advised. Wishing you all of the best.

ednut1:
this is not true. They are obligated to declare the child. A Nigerian couple was deported back to Nigeria at point of entry because of this some years ago they had to add the child in Nigeria before they could come back. Not mentioning the child too means the father can’t sponsor the child to Canada later

Modified.

Winkky:
If as a PA my spouse has a child before marriage but I have not been in the child’s life because they said “it’s not my concern, I’m not biologically related to the child so I should face my own kids” How do I handle this in my Canada application? I presently only have my personal savings as POF for my immediate family of 5, I don’t know if the child has identity documents and will be available for medicals even if I add as unaccompanying.
I am just worried about the child’s future but at the same time, I don’t want to jeopardize my application and my children’s future if I add and they can’t provide documents. I don’t even know the child’s full name, my spouse is not carrying me along in this and becomes aggressive if I bring it up. I have all required documents with a good CRS, French speaker and I am just waiting for draws to start in July.
I am also worried if it will be seen as misrepresentation if I do not mention the child in my application. I need this japa like yesterday sef, help me dissect this matter I beg.

1. You as the PA, you should mention the child even if the child isn't yours for future purposes or in case your spouse changes their mind in the future.

2. You have a kind heart. I wish you all the best.

OliviaOtis:
Hi,
Please I have a few questions. Any response that can help me is appropriated.
1- One of my employers has refused to provide a reference letter for me for my Canada PR. What do I do?
2- One of my previous employer only paid me in cash and so so have no evidence of payment in my bank statement. How do so prove that I was paid? Did anyone had any of the above issues while applying?
Thank you.

Hi.
1. Type the reference letter on an A4. A colleague/senior colleague can sign for you an attach his/her company ID. Supporting docs can include LOE explaining the company's refusal to issue a reference letter, an email or message showing the company's refusal to issue a reference letter, employment letter, promotion letter, payslips, salary deposits highlighted in SOA

2. Paid in cash is normal. State you were paid in cash in the reference letter and do a salary certificate.

3. Read page one for sample stories for both questions. All the best

Davincci643:
Confirm the similar Letter with your but different location.
The second letter was the last i got from VFS till now...
I still need someone kind enough to explain what is happening to us wit this letters and delays in reply

I think vfs is obligated to notify applicants via email as their envelope move from one location to another. So if they fail to send an email at a particular stage, it will still be sent later on in the future regardless. Hence the confusing/contradictory emails.
But if it has been up to 6/7 weeks you sent your passport to Abuja vfs, then your decision envelope has been returned to Abuja vfs, to be picked up by your courier service and dispatched to you.

I need an advice.
I intend to use my wife as primary applicant.
Brief profile:
She is 29 while I am 35. She has a Doctor of Optometry degree which is evaluated by WES as masters. She has been practicing Since 2019 post NYSC. I have a PGD after HND and I have been working as a frieght consultant after nysc in 2013.
None of us have written IELTS or TEF but someone told me there is a way to get high score. Like sorting etc.
Honest advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated

Hi. Perish that idea. Your wife's profile is great. Follow due process

Favouriteguy:
Thank you very much.
Page one must be visited rigorously.
PNP and OINP is something to also look out for. My only concern is knowing what provinces need.

Check the website of the various provinces to know what they're looking for

Favouriteguy:
Thank you for this reply.
No 1. Is noted 7yrs experience in the bank will be utilised.
No 2. Age is abt 28+, education is OND and HND, IELTS not yet written
No 3. I will revisit page one
From 2 above is the age still okay? What if it reaches 29 or 30

Hi. Ages 28, 29 and 30 are excellent. However, after 30, 5points will be deducted from her CRS for each additional year. I.e If she turns 31, 5points will be deducted from her CRS and so on.

OND and HND is great. She will need to max out IELTS as well and may need to consider writing TEF to boost her CRS cos the FSW draws are predicted to start with very high CRS (maybe 500, no one knows for sure)

Asides FSW, she can also use the provincial nomination route (PNP, OINP etc) that requires a relatively low CRS. Lots of info on this on page one.
Cheers

An advice needed for a friend who has 7years experience in the financial industry but resigned recently and now has a business as a food vendor.
What NOC would she be categorized as.
Pardon me if my questions aren't properly placed.
2ndly, is it too late to get in for the FSW slated for July?
More questions to come pls�

Hi.
1. Your friend can use the 7yrs experience in the financial industry to apply even though she has resigned. The job title isn't specific, so one can't advise on NOC category.

2. It isn't too late to enter the pool. Her CRS will be dependent on her age, level of education, IELTS score etc.

3. Read page one.

Yellowmellow:
I got another adr from ircc. This time they’re asking for schedule A, PCC and also asking that I confirm the type of business/company I work in and the number of employees.
Now pls note:
I no longer work there. I stopped since June last year, I work somewhere else now but I didn’t update ircc. I don’t know if this is an issue?
Secondly, my former company was a very small one. All of us were about 5 including the janitor. I hope it won’t be a problem cz I don’t understand why they’re asking for the number of employees. Is there an accepted number of employees that they recognize as a company? I thought your work experience is what matters, I’m feeling very insecure right now I won’t even lie mtshewww
Lastly, this adr they want am I going to send it as an loe or am I using the company’s letter headed paper?
Pls every input is welcome and appreciated.

Hi. This is unique
1. Yes. Include your new job in the Schedule A

2. The size of the company doesn't matter. People have gotten PPR with businesses run by just one person. State the positions held by the 5 persons, providing their names is optional. Highlight the services or product the company offers and also highlight the clients.

3. No need for a letter head. The company is not obligated to explain themselves to IRCC. Use an LOE and provide as much details as would be satisfactory and to the best of your knowledge.

All the best.

Collins4u1:
Okay let me quickly ask this here,
Concerning WES for immigration, do I need a transcript for the Wes evaluation?
As a Dentist, do I need to get a canadian license before I apply for the FSW?
Will my employment letter be used as proof of work experience or what's the best way to prove work experience?

Hi
1. Yes. You need a transcript

2. No you don't need a Canadian license to apply but you'll need one to practice in Canada

3. Your reference letter in IRCC format (very very important) is what you need to show proof of work experience. Where this is unavailable or maybe where you worked doesn't have a detailed online presence, employment letter, salary deposits, and payslips can be used as supporting docs.

hAlexandro:
Am currently stuck at 460 CRS score with draws to resume by July. Do I stand the chance to get an ITA? Or can study for French (TEF) and pass within the next two month

Hi. Your chances are very slim cos the draws are expected to resume with a very high CRS. Although if the draws are to continue every 2weeks as per the norm, the scores will reduce consequently but who knows. If you can run the TEF, please do so.

Dennyjuff:
People of God, please is it compulsory to notarize a gift deed from mother to daughter for proof of funds

Hi. It is not compulsory but advisable to do it.
