Hi Everyone and congrats to all those with good news.

Quick question pls, I've been in the pool since Jan with a score of 431. I have a sibling who got ITA sometime in june and has submitted all documents, currently on the stage of Medicals passed. At what stage in this process do I update my profile to get 15 points for sibling in canada?

Anyone pls?

ONLY AFTER your sibling has LANDED and gotten his/her COPR SIGNED by a border officer.your profile should not be updated earlier than when this landing formality is carried out.

Oga mcstan i dey see your handwork for page 1 oh. God bless you.

CanadianNaija:
I honestly don’t know if you can. You can contact them via email to ask, because having the UCI number seemed to be a requirement.

I think my own number changed from from CAN to UCI at a point, but I Wasnt keeping track of when it did that.

Thanks a bunch

CanadianNaija:
I registered with my AOR letter, I think the most significant thing they ask for is your UCI number, the one that’s starts with 11... it was asked of us today, and the confirmation email they sent specifically stated that you must have that.

Hiya
Am very much interest in registering. I have my AOR letter but the UCI i have begins with CAN0000......... and not 11 as you have stated.
Can i still register with that?

Abol4luv:
I got UK PCC in October 2017 and I visited for 2 weeks in November, can I use such PCC for my application?

Thanks

The rules state that you can't, my advice, don't push it.

It doesn't cost much in terms of cash and time to get a new one. My 2 cents

Hoping to register for the "Planning for Canada" session(s) soon as i can.
Apparently its something we are not taking advantage of enough here. Speaking with my sister-in-law who landed recently, she wishes she had attended it. The experience of moving has been a tad bit overwhelming

Zutlin:
Wishing you a speedy and successful process.

Thanks guys for all the invaluable information, helpful tips and encouragements. I love the spirit here. Such an atmosphere of friendly and pleasant people with positive mindsets. The collaboration, support and eagerness at which everyone helps each other is amazing. God bless you all.

Most importantly, I thank God for seeing me through every step of this arduous albeit exciting and interesting journey.

My announcement would NEVER be complete if I don't pray to God to immeasurably bless my altruistic and selfless brother @Topsmamen whose constant encouragement piqued my interest to try Express Entry shortly after he sacrificed so much for me by paying my tuition fees to go for my Masters in the UK in 2015. Prior to that, Naija dealt me a heavy blow as I was going through harsh times at my place of work and I had lost so much weight and looking pale. I decided there and then that since I wasn't born to suffer, I needed to throw my punch back at Naija. My brother once saw a picture of me looking frail and malnourished and he was quite stunned like "Haba! This is too much na. We need to get you out of Naija. Let's try the UK". I was glad he read my mind but I had no idea how I could single-handedly leave the country and fend for myself (with a meagre salary and with not much to go on). The plan was that I would do my best to settle in the UK because at the time, we presumed that my degree and experience in Health and Social Care would fetch me a job and I would settle in the UK (smh....how ignorant we were). Friends and family residing in the UK also encouraged me to try the UK with promises of helping me with a job and settle in the UK (I should have just 'yinmu-ed' at them but my desperation to leave Nigeria made me believe and swallow their story). After completing my Masters, village people somehow made me go back to Nigeria and the hustle continued. It got worse, I went into making cocktails and beads to survive. I eventually got a job at a hospital with a salary of 40k and to make matters worse, my salary was never paid on time. At this point, my brother was too broke to help the family as he had just spent his entire life savings on my Masters. Till today, I do not know how we managed, but God kept us.

Fast forward to 2017 and he came up with the Express Entry idea. His words were "why don't you try this too? You have a Masters degree, age is on your side, and all you need to do is write the IELTS and evaluate your Masters degree". I felt bad that he had spent a lot of money on me and we ended up not achieving our ultimate goal for me to settle in the UK so I told him I would wait till things got better as I could not put him through this again. He explained that my going to the UK was not a waste as I had achieved a Masters degree and that as a matter of fact, the Masters degree would help boost my CRS points and this made a lot of sense. We had no idea how we would get funds to start the process considering that a lot of money would be involved, I felt totally helpless but after several discussions with him, and knowing that he also had no idea where the money would come from, we held on to faith and we decided to take it one step at a time starting with WES. This decision was made on May 5, 2017. I remember that day vividly because that was the first time I learned of the province - "Saskatchewan". I took to the internet to do research on Express Entry and Canada, I looked at several internet images and read up about Canada and before i knew it, I was having a crush on Canada. Basically, plans for my life became Canada-focused. I spent a great deal of time reading about my new Country and the provinces/territories: their culture, history, employment, skill gaps and socio-economic development. My research was quite deep that I even got to learn that Nova Scotia is well known for their fish and lobsters....lol. I imagined myself in Canada already (Yes, I can dream not just for Africa, but the world too). In November 2017, I stumbled on the Part 2 of the Canada Express entry on Nairaland and page 1 caught my attention. God bless Zandora, 40manlappy and GlitteringStar for placing such detailed and vast information in a properly arranged manner.
He paid my WES fees, dived into the pool with me (I mean, he created and submitted my EE profile....lol). Together, we painstakingly spent several weeks in contact with each other to ensure that my former employer wrote the reference letter correctly and also to ensure that my bank statements, gift deed, LOEs and additional documents were in the required formats. He re-reviewed all my documents and ensured they were in good order, he deposited $7,000 into my account as part of my gift deed (when he was barely managing his own finances and other obligations), he paid my RPRF fees and submitted my e

I am utterly blessed to have him as my brother. He took the pain of constantly checking morry, your PPR will come.

Waoh! Waoh! What an announcement....talk about SHUTTING IT DOWN!
me i won't lie oh! I am crying inside and outside because i 100% relate with the story.
Congrats dear congrats...success just began for you and your brother

stonecoldcafe:
@Obi1conte thank God Almighty for your life and your family's. In our pursuit, we will not weep in sorrow or suffer loss. Amen!

AMEN AND AMEN.THX

My good people on this canada dream/journey...please come thank the ALMIGHTY GOD with me.
He spared the lives of me and my family from armed robbers on our way back from lagos, we went for PCC and medicals.I still can't praise the Lord enough for how He used our driver to safe us this afternoon.
We even came back to a flooded apartment (broken water pipe). I and my spouse have being mopping since we got back.
I decree that ALL who would be on the road and air for the sake of this dream shall over come ANY gathering of village people IJN. AMEN

Guitarlife:
Hi guys please can you any magnanimous fellow refer me to a post or link where someone used NYSC for application, I have tried searching but couldnt come out with much. I guess I am getting rusty lately.

Click on glitteringstar's timeline..she used nysc

So the ITA i thought would come in march has finally being delivered. NASU strike, birthday and CRS score not dropping delayed it, but thank God for sibling points.

Waiting for the mail to confirm IT....

Mippi:
Yes, I can now see the update on my account. I logged out and waited for 10 minutes.

I didn't get your mail bro.

Ok thx.good luck

Mippi:
Pls i am trying to update the Family in Canada section of my EE profile to include my brother in Canada but after clicking the Transmit button, my CRS did not increase by 15 points (432 to 447). It still shows 432. Pls advise. Tnx.

Did you sign off the usual/proper way? It could take up to 24hrs for the updates to be effected from what i just read on canadavisa.
Please let me know how long yours take.

MrOba:
Good day guys,

Please has anyone submitted their application with only a Fixed deposit confirmation as POF without SOA or Gift Deed and has gotten PR?

Many thanks.

Please be mindful that each and every application is unique and different, it worked for others doesn't mean it would for you. The IRCC completeness check page should be our guide ALWAYS

That being said, my sister-in-law submitted her application just the way you asked. She and her family would be landing in canada at the end of the month by God's grace.
But please note they used a consultant based in canada,i don't know how he/she "packaged" their application as per LOE.

Topsmamen:
Thanks Obi1conte. I was just asking hephgirl about attestation of birth but you beat me to it. Will work on getting this, thanks again.

Uwc
I guess you know the process for getting one? First thing is an affidavit from your parent...all the best

Topsmamen:
Hi everyone. Silent reader here.

My sister and I both lost our birth certificates last year in a fire incident. Please I would like to find out what document we can use in place of birth certificates to prove our relationship and claim sibling points from her.

Thanks.

Attestation of birth from NPC , IF both of you are married, a copy of your marriage certificates showing common parent
(father and/or mother)

Newmum0615:
My brother will claim points from me being a PR. So na evidence we dey gather. PS: I did mine for 4k in Lagos. But na 'by connection' as we say in Nigeria.

Hiya
Can one claim this sibling points soon as the sibling lands or wait a certain period of time before updating profile?

Iyamefa:
Thank you so much, really appreciate

You are welcome

Iyamefa:
Hello guys,

Kindly assist.
Please who knows of any good photo studio for taking CIC standard passport photo in Benin? I’m asking for a friend urgently.
Thanks guys and God bless

SNAP IT on Oni str off ihama or photoshop off Akhionbare also off Ihama

Onedimple:
Good evening everyone. Please i like to hear your opinion on this issue. I am AOR July 10th. I work with a state government institution. I submitted a reference letter i got from work last year October. Many thanks.

I think because it's your current job there might be no need to raise any CSE and present a new one. And since they've not asked for a new ref letter you can keep the one you have now just incase they ask. My 2cents/kobo like we say here.

Reasonabledoubt:
My medicals was Pre ITA.

Information on medicals is on page 1.

What i actually wanted to know was whether the hosp ask for any ITA document before carrying out the medical checks.....but then i realise it wasn't called UPFRONT MEDICALS just for the sake of it.

Reasonabledoubt:
My medicals was Pre ITA.

Information on medicals is on page 1.

Lol...thanks

Reasonabledoubt:
Yes o. I had all my docs ready before hand, I just want to get this over with.

Pls did you go for medicals pre or post ITA? IF it was pre-ITA how did u go about it?
Thanks

Elfmannisback:
