It's just scary how people take a life changing decision and just feel they would wobble and stumble to their goal.
I met someone today by chance who got ITA yesterday but knows little or nothing about the process.
No passport for kids yet
No POF
He ddn't know he is not suppose 2 spend from POF when he finally gathers it
Hasn't booked medical appointment yet
Wondering how he would get his ref letter from his employer (and he isn't the PA ooo)
Thought PR would come after 60days, he didn't know you start counting after AOR
I was just like waoh!!!
Then he said he was using an agent based in canada like that was an excuse for his ignorance

Hi folks. For those of us in the pre-ITA stage, please let us be careful when editing our EE profiles after we have already submitted.

I just made a huge mistake on my EE account!

So i had the intention of using my previous employer where i worked for 4 years, for reference letter. I guessed it wouldn't be easy but still decided to use them anyway. Just today, i realized that it might not be possible because the Executive Director is being a hard ass.....long story actually. Today, i prematurely entered an unnecessary vex mode and decided "you know what, screw that guy, i will use my current employer". Just a few minutes ago, i logged in to my profile and modified the work history section to include my current place of work where i have worked for 1 year and 6 months.......blunder! Dumbass! You can't have a 1 year/6-month experience and expect to be eligible for EE. I totally forgot! By the time i realized this, it was too late, i had already clicked the "Transmit" button. All i had to do was put my hands on my head and wait for the "Profile Ineligible" message to slide in.

Now i am pained because i had to create a new account. My previous account was created in March 2018 so i could have taken advantage of the tie-breaking rule when the draw hopefully comes down to 442 (which is my new CRS score when i claim sibling points). Now all i have to do is pray the draw comes down to 441 in December or wait it out till next year. Damn!

So please, let us exercise serious patience and caution when editing our profiles. Wrongly modifying your NOC or POF could cause your profile to be ineligible.

Moral of my story - Anger no good o, patience is key and of course, look before you leap.
Words fail me...but one thing i have coming to realise is that everything happens for a reason. Don't be too hard on yourself, this will turn out fine for you. BELIEVE

Attended the Planning for Canada session in Lagos today. It was really informative. Unfortunately we were /are the last set of people that it was organized for. Canada has pulled the funding sad but at least we have this page to keep getting tips. Weldone people
I was there too today. The govt is pulling resources towards the "asylum siege" they are facing.
Shame

Hello People
So as announced today the planning for Canada IOM group orientation held its last session ever today world wide. The remaining sessions for the year will be conducted online before ALL will stop in December.
Apparently the Canadian government is directing resources to the "asylum issue".
Future sessions would be directed to countries with the highest immigrants to Canada- India, China and the Philippines.

Hi guys. So my sister, @dumprep lands on December 10. I intend to edit my EE profile to include her the same day she lands as the sibling points would increase my score from 427 to 442. Right or rookie move?

As I wouldn't want a draw to pass me by in December. Thanks.
You can use her signed COPR yes but i'm not so sure of the LOE, but anything to present a strong case is good.
You could wait a day or two before editing your profile, the update is almost immediate but thats at your own discretion.
All the best.

What PCC is required for someone is been working outside Nigeria for about 3 years but on a rotation of 2 months in the work country and 1 month Nigeria for vacation?
Will it be PCC from Nigeria or from the Work Country?or both?
Secondly If PCC is in French , Does it need to be translated to English or can it be submitted in French alongside other documents which are English.
IF i where you i would provide PCC from both countries simply because it sounds to me like the job is a steady one and you have being coming and going for awhile. But like i said if i where you.
A french PCC is fine. Translation only needed if its in any other language aside french or english.

According to the landing stories I’ve read here, if you miss your flight as a result of immigration proceedings you’ll be booked on the next flight.
Oh really sounds fair. Thx for the reply.
So i guess ur advice will be to book straight from LAG to CALGARY irrespective of the waiting time at toronto?
TravelRe: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Obi1conte: 6:22pm On Nov 03, 2018
Hello Seniors in the house

Pls what would you advice booking a direct flight from Lagos to Calgary or booking one to Toronto then having a lay off then hopping on another flight to Calgary?
Am asking because for the direct flight Lagos to Calgary there's about a 2hr wait before a the connecting flight from toronto to calgary. I am worried this might not be enough time to clear with immigrations.

Okay Sir. Some people even went ahead and “liked” the post where Tojued was threatening me. They’re part of this School Gate Gang, a syndicate. My suspects are:

1. Tojued (Chief Perpetrator)
2. joo2018 (accomplice)
3. ontarioissauga (accomplice)
4. mcstan18 (accomplice)
5.
6.
7.

Added to the carry over, I suggest they face Disciplinary Committee Sir.

Thanks. I already checked the NPC website but it's been down since morning. But your response is very fine for me. Spouse has the NPC cert, and his sibling is a man so no need for marriage cert.

God bless you.
Yeah God bless you too

Lol at his " sibling being a man " response. It seems to me like you don't quite understand why or what the birth or marriage certs are for..BUT i could be TOTALLY WRONG. Anyhow good luck

Distinct777:
Thanks for the quick response.

I'm not claiming sibling point. It's my spouse that has a sibling over there. I just read somewhere that I needed to get both PCC and NPC cert.

So since it's my spouse that has a sibling in Canny, he should get the npc cert, right?
Yes if your spouse does not already have a birth cert an attestation from NPC should do. And I THINK the affidavit from the customary court should do, u can check their web page or search this or related thread for info. Just type ATTESTATION OF BIRTH on d search tool and see what comes up.
A marriage certificate should work too if you spouse's sibling is married.

Please house, I'm gathering my documents for ITA. And I read somewhere that since I was born in the '80s, I need attestation at the NPC. So here goes -

My mum swore an affidavit for me years ago attesting to my date of birth and all but she did that at a Customary Court registry. Is that acceptable at the NPC or do I have to get her to swear another one at the high court?

If yes, was what exact details must be in the affidavit and what is the process like at the NPC?

Anyone else with a contact who can help?
Are you claiming sibling points under FSW program? If yes, then i understand why you are going through this hassle. If not then pls there is no need for an attestation of birth from NPC.
Except maybe there's another reason you need the document e.g to obtain travel passport
Am trying not to give an emotion response here, you've kind of not given ALL/ENOUGH reasons why you need the document.
