Peaceful2016:
I started writing this in faith on 22 Aug. 17 when my application was just 21 days cos I wanted to highlight the grey areas in my application. Plus, I didn’t want to forget anything when the joy and excitement of PPR set in.
1) Date of Birth discrepancy on Transcript and WES – I got an Affidavit to explain that the discrepancy was an error from the University and that my correct date of Birth was clearly stated on my Birth certificate and Int’l passport which I attached.
2) Various names used on my documents i.e. maiden name vs married name – I had done a newspaper change of name after marriage but I never got around to changing the name on my int’l passport because the process was longer when I got married. I got a one and the same Person affidavit to clearly state that the both names should be considered as variations of my name and not name changes.
3) My passport is in my maiden name and had exactly 6 months validity at the point of submitting my application. I applied for a new one (still in my maiden name Cos I didn’t want any delay) and uploaded to CIC via a CSE
4) Details entered for Education and Work History for my spouse before ITA were moved to Personal History post ITA – I moved it cos I didn’t do ECA for my spouse plus we didn’t bother to get a reference letter from his employers. I included in my letter of explanation that the required documents were not available currently
5) Proof of funds was in a joint account – I attached a letter of consent from my spouse
6) Birthday occurred between ITA and AOR. This should have taken my CRS score below the minimum score for the round i got ITA for. However, It didn't affect our application, I guess they applied the exemption policy here
7)Asides from my Letter of explanation, I Included a cover letter for the various sections I felt needed some explanation and also to make it tidy e.g. proof of funds, work experience, education (cause of 2 above) etc.

Finally, I would like to say that no two applications are the same. What applies for one may not apply for the next person. Feel free to ask me questions I will answer to the best of my knowledge

Please house,does RN and BSc count as two or more certificate? The Bsc(applied biotechnology) was gotten before the RN. If yes, which body is best for verifying the certificate. Thank you

Hello Boss,

What is worth doing is worth doing well. I will advice you get that issue sorted. There is no need to be in a hurry. The reason is that if that case is not sorted from the root now, every transcript you order for will still have this misleading information about your DOB, will you keep raising affidavits each time?

Look for someone else in your school to help you sort this out.

But if you decide to go with the affidavit route this time, no sweat still, but ensure you get that issue resolved.

You may want to wait for other opinions on this before going further.

Enjoy.

Hello Gurus in the house. Please I need your advice. I have a BSc in Chemistry(2.1) with over 6 years of banking experience. I have never worked in a field related to my course. My challenge now is that I wish to apply for MSc in chemistry as I desire to go back to my root and possibly further my study to PhD level. I am afraid I may be denied of visa as suggested by my friends because it's not in line with my career progression. I will appreciate your advice and contributions.
