Thanks guya

Thank You for this.

I have been in this dilenma but couldn't resolve it.

Of course you can. If need be, use LOE to tell, but as a minimum requirement remember that for CIC, your reference letter must be on a company letterhead, it should carry the company address, website, email, phone number and will perhaps carry the company stamp. Payslip/bank statement of account showing salary payment is just another way of proving that you really worked and you were paid. If you can get a reference letter in the above stated format, you should be fine. Use your LOE to explain further that you were paid cash or I'd advise you say nothing concerning it, just submit the reference letter.

On the reference letter sef u fit state am say u were paid cash, but I don't think it is necessary.

Hello House,

My husband has missed his IELTS test twice.
The traffic on Saturday due to road blocks made him miss his test in Abeokuta.
He was told to go to their Ikoyi office.
Any probability of a change?

Hiya.
Search for EOR in the tool bar.
Read up what you see.
Also check British Council webpage for additional information.

Can someone who has gone through this RE-MARK REQUEST PROCEDURE please PM me. Its a humble plea, I just want to know how to go about it

Hi 40manlappy. I can't tell you what an amazing or should i say how you have helped me and my hubby in this Canny land preparation.
Your posts have been so helpful especially the first page of thread 2 https://www.nairaland.com/3999848/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled
I don't know how to thank you enough. My husband thinks i have excess time the way i read this thread. He has his test today. As per PA, fingers crossed.
I just really wanted to say thank you for being awesome.
Side note, anyone on this journey should read. READ, READ AND READ. You cannot be preparing to move to a foreign land and not have enough knowledge.
The step by step and payments and planning required.

40manlappy:
Congratulations to everyone that aced IELTS. To those that didn't, please don't give up, keep pushing. Meanwhile, create an Express Entry (EE) profile (if you have not done so already) while waiting for your desired scores; you can update later so as to beat the "tie" rule.

Ask for a remark if you are convinced that you did better, especially if you missed the intended score by 0.5. Some people have even gotten an increase of more than 0.5.

@4wearegreat Nice spirit! We shall celebrate your ITA very soon. Hope you have created an EE profile already.

Yimiton was very helpful here and the format worked for me in getting mine.

DEEAJA:
Good morning House!
I need clarification on POF. Can i use my pension statement as evidence of POF for MPNP considering that i will be entitled to 25% upon resignation and as a banker, the NOC i used when entering the pool was 0122 but a friend said the NOC is not correct for bankers. Pls help clarify. Thanks

Hi titigafar, try and go to their office tomorrow. It isn't hard to resolve. All the best.

titigafar:
Hello house, I need your advise. I paid for IELTS using a friend's First Bank mobile app. I filled in all my details on the remark before confirming the payment.
After this I sent a mail to British Council with the receipt of the transfer. Since then, I didn't get any acknowledgement mail neither was my payment confirmed.
A friend linked me up with a contact that works with British Council who I reported the case to, and he said they.have been having issues with people who paid with other people's account, that the remark details are not reflecting on their account. He promised to help see what he can do about this on Monday.
Yesterday I got a mail from British Council saying I have 24 hours to make my payment, failure to pay will make them cancel my registration.

Please has anyone here experienced same and how was this resolved?

I like the way you just dropped this here like hot akara.
We are waiting on God for ours.

Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.

@freeradical:
What a glorious CRS cut off score. I spent close to 6months on 433 with my first EE profile searching for ITA but it wouldn't come grin

Congratulations to all our new ITA holders, yimiton, dammiehar, XX01, et al. I know you guys expect to get speedy processing of your eAPR to PPR and so I've decided to help you with a few advice from my own experience. My timeline from AOR to PPR is just 46days which is quite impressive and something I'd wish for you guys to replicate. Now my advice to you goes as follows. Brace up its gonna be a long read

1. Getting ITA is a big deal but it's not so much of a big deal if u don't package your application well and it gets rejected. So use only 24 hours to celebrate dis ITA after which you have to settle down, snap out of the euphoria(you are not in Canada yet grin) and focus on submitting your eAPR without making any costly error that may mar your chances.

2. Even though we know that ultimately d divine controls the speed of every application yet you must do your utmost best in packaging your application carefully. As much as you can, get the documents in d format specified by CIC. Start now to disturb your bankers for the reference letters and your employers for the work reference letter. From my experience, you save d VO time and make their work easier when you submit documents in the recommended CIC format and they reward that with a fast processing.

3. PCCs are very vital and you should know by now what PCCs you need to provide. To be on the safe side any country you have spent a cumulative period of 3-4 months from when you were born till now just start now to process your PCC from them. VOs r very unforgiving with PCCs and sometimes they interprete the laws around PCCs in ways we can't truly understand. If you are like me that have never enter international flight before (I.e no travel history) then u are safe but for all the ajalas in the house, the chicken has come home to roost grin

4. Do not be in a hurry to get AOR, thereby rushing to submit. Take your time to ensure that you include every document in your checklist and in the right file format. Always cross check that your uploads are still intact even at the point of submission. It's not really by AOR but by how fast you move from AOR to PPR. Some July AOR peeps are already with PPR while we still got some April AORs languishing in IP1. So don't let the race to get AOR get to you.

5. Avoid ADRs. If it means waiting till the final week of your 90precious days it's safer to wait it out and submit your application with that document you know will be requested. ADRs have a way of unnecessarily delaying the movement of your file. The best time to send CIC documents is before AOR so be proactive enough to prevent anything that will make then ask after. For example if you know you have been refused visa to some country, nothing stops u from filling a schedule A form proactively even before it is asked.

6. Use your LOE very well. The LOE is a powerful weapon that you must use very well to your favour. If you do an unbiased self assessment of your application, you will note the areas where your application appears to be weak. It's almost likely that the VO will come to this same conclusion as you. That's where a good LOE does wonders. You can use your LOE to politely explain and provide further detail to the VO. What u r actually doing is subtly allaying his doubts about this weak part of your application. This helps the guy to make a favorable decision on your case. The trick to writing a good LOE is being honest, polite and MOST IMPORTANTLY attaching a document to buttress your point or as evidence. Also you can write as many LOEs and attached documents to each even though there is one placeholder for LOE. That's where your PDF merger comes in. Merge all the LOEs into one single file and attach.

7. Raising CSEs is a bad, bad thing!Avoid anything that will also make you to start disturbing your application midway after AOR by having to raise a CSE. Examples are getting married, adding a baby etc. Though most times these stuffs are beyond our control but as much as you can try to avoid entering such situations because it will delay your application. If you know you want to marry that man/woman then make the decision and get married already even before you secure ITA. I've seen some people's application getting delayed because they have to include spouse. If you r expecting a baby and your due date is before the 90days post ITA period,its best you wait for the child and include him before AOR. This exactly was my case. I had ITA Apr 12th and my wife's EDD was May 12th. I decided to wait for the baby. I made every arrangements for his passport with the immigration agent( the guy thought I was crazy trying to do passport for a child yet unborn grin), but alas baby came early on May 5th. My son got his passport May 12th or so and we got AOR June 19th.
So my point is as much as we can control these events let's try our best.

8. Finally just keep praying as though everything depends on your prayers but not your work and try not to be overly anxious. Who anxiety EPP sef.

I wish you guys a smooth PPR journey from here on.
