My fellow Canadians, I submitted my application since yday 2pm and yet to get AOR till now.

What do I do please? Do I need to reach out to them and if yes how

Yesterday ke? Please be patient!

mamacajah:
Well you were lucky and you know things have changed over time.

I got my first transcript 2002, back when they were still using type writers. I have never had any issues in the past because I either went there myself or had someone go for me. I have even gotten transcript when they moved over to computers. I still have a scanned cpy of the last one I collected in 2010, which I have been using for school admission..lol. This was my first time using online process and I still followed up with a staff in school, yet it took 3 months to complete the ECA process from OAU.. hmm...

OH another great Ife!

mamacajah:
I have been told that the e-copy is fine as it will be the one you upload during post ITA.
Hence I believe what you have is fine.

OK awesome, I am post ITA....POF is teaching me patience

DatechMan:
I got my transcript easily. Well, I finished 5 years ago. First timer usually takes longer time.

Are you jealous

atigro:
ife and wahala sha. I hope a 10year period would be of less headache to them since we got hold of good IT facilities during our understudy days...sigh

I hope so, no such luck in our own time.

atigro:
Great Ife,thanks for this as someone has warned against using them in an earlier post. I wouldn't mind having your contact info through pm.
Regards

Ok check your PM

Hi everyone. Good afternoon o. Someone can't even be gone for 1 day and there are millions of pages to catch up on lol

I didn't receive my hardcopy WES evaluation, only the report on the website, is that ok to use?

atigro:
Interesting but i can see you used ETX here. Could that be the reason for the delay with OAU and you now suggesting we should use someone on ground for proper and prompt follow-up?

P.S: can u furnish me with cost breakdown? Thanks
Great Ife!

Greatest Ife, try not to go the ETX route if you can avoid it. If you need someone on ground, I have a contact I can send his details to you. It will cost you a little but it will be way faster than ETX-NG

mamacajah:
Hello All, Please I still need some clarification on this:

So I have finally gotten my ECA from WES completed (HALLELUYAH) after 4 months of back and forth with OAU and I am preparing for my IELTS test. So I need help with the following as I begin to gather the necessary documents for post ITA.

1. NOC- I am yet to sight an NOC for my work experience. My work was logistics HSE / data management related and the only NOC that seems to be close is 1215 but its only one item from the whole NOC description that I can link my work to. Other jobs done can be linked to NOC 1241 (Administrative assistant) and NOC 1411. So which NOCs do I use?

cc:cochtrane

OAU transcript is so snail speed! It took me almost 2 months despite using an insider! Then they mistakenly omitted my husband's transcript. If we had know he wouldn't need it since he has a UK masters, would have just not bothered with his.
Their excuse for mine was that I graduated 15 years ago and I have never requested a transcript. So what?

As for the NOC, just choose the one that has the closest to your job description.
All the best

I need more clarification on the POF please. Do we have to leave the funds in the account after showing it?? My hubby has this idea that the money is untouchable after showing it.

closetextrovert:
Oh! you definitely have to have the equivalent of $25,000 in your account before you submit your application then.

Entrepreneurial challenges. They should wait, money is coming!

bigfido:
No o.. Don't wait for him to get PR o.. Please hold his trouser like 2 weeks after AOR, drag him to court, put a ring on that finger, then raise a CSE notifying them about the marriage. They will ask you to submit your details then. But please make sure he has submitted, gotten AOR before your marriage date. Very important. If you wait for him to get PR before applying, menopause fit don reach before you see your husband again

Hahahaha this post made me laugh so badly!

LordSebastian:
I know for sure that Q-Life is a cheaper option compared to IOM. Last I checked, Q-Life for an adult is 28k while IOM is about 40k or so.

We used Children's practice. It was N28,000 each

closetextrovert:
Do you already have your Banker's reference and SOA stating your balance as the equivalent of $25,000? If you do, i personally think you can go ahead and submit but make sure to top it up at the end of the month just incase they request POF again afterwards. There is really no way for CIC to know what your present balance is without you sending the proof to them.

We have from over a month ago so we need a current one.

House, please, do we need to have our money staying in our account after application or can we spend?

Do you need to have the exact POF in your account before you can apply?

domvic:
please house which address should we put as the address wes will send our result to

I put my Nigerian address but I only downloaded my report from their website and printed. That should suffice right?

closetextrovert:
$22,856 for family of four.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

Thank you. We filled 25,000 CAD in our application. Now, money has gone into other things and as much as I would like to just put in the application already, we have to wait till month end for POF to be complete again. The total amount needs to be there right? The wait is tiring!

chuckdee13:
view below....others can see theirs too

Thank you so much. I was just being lazy �

Good morning my people.

Please help me again with the amount of money a family of 4 needs as POF again?

Hello people!

I see we have a new home. That old thread was actually getting too long to cope with..

Well done to everyone who compiled the documents.

E ku ise o!!!

May all our dreams come true.

Finally It's PPR guys... I'm so FULL OF JOY and EXCITED.. It's been a long ride. I just got the email an hour ago that i have a new notification in my cic email. It was probably the most scariest thing ever, even though i knew it's positive from my gcms notes already said it all. I actually sent them an email and CSE yesterday highlighting it's been over 196 days and there hasn't been any final conclusion.

Craziest thing was, I resigned a few weeks ago and tomorrow is my last day were i consult . Can't keep thanking God.

Wish everyone of us here PPR soon.

Good evening everyone. If one started a self employed job in July 2011 for instance but then got the business name registered or incorporated in October, which means your document states October, will it be a problem to write the real date the job was started or one has to go by the document date?

Keep up the good work, bro!

Ehrnie:
Hi – I felt moved after reading this and I can only imagine how the family feels right now. I pray for strength for them and healing for the lil one.

I did a quick research after reading your post and found the following advise / questions –

Did your friend receive a fairness letter? If so, he/she has three choices –

(1) Ignore and receive a rejection letter
(2) Challenge it i.e. do your homework because you must present everything to CIC and convince them
(3) Provide CIC with a plan to mitigate the cost i.e. evidence that the lil one will not be a burden on the health system


For points (2) & (3) stated above, I will advise your friend presents a detailed information back to CIC, including a comprehensive mitigation plan (private insurance and a medical reimbursement plan to cover 100% of costs).

Furthermore, to challenge the medical opinion, your friend will need letter(s) from doctors stating that the ailment is being managed or can be managed. Your friend can argue that he/she can mitigate the cost should it arise. The case law here is a bit foggy, but your friend must be able to demonstrate a plan to convince the VO. A good PoF can help here too.

Finally, I'd strongly suggest your friend uses an attorney with experience in medical inadmissibility in preparing his/her response. I’m sure not all the attorneys out there are shylocks.

I really pray all goes well, Amen.

Thank you for your response. It is really sad indeed. I didn't really know the full meaning of "medical admissibility'till a few days ago. My son almost got flagged when we went for our medicals. The doctor was already asking for all sorts of reports but then he decided to waive it. It was a huge relief!

bbaby84:
I've just recently stumbled upon this medical ish. They give them a fairness letter first and they have to prove they won't be a burden on the Canadian government and then their file is reviewed based on what they've submitted and a decision is made. All the same its very heartbreaking as the whole point of this journey is to give one's family a better life.
Are they already at the decision stage or fair hearing stage?

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/admiss/excessive.asp

I think they contested but lost the case or they gave up. It is definitely sad because like you said the whole point really is to have a better opportunity, especially for the children. After hearing the word medical inadmissibility, i then went to do a lot of research on it and I found out that canada is quite strict. I guess the whole point is for the family to take care of the bills if need arises? I wonder....

Hello house, hope everyone is good. Does anyone understand the issue of medical inadmissibility. Someone i know has been denied because of this. Seems Canada is not tolerant to migrant families with children that have learning or special needs.
