You have two options here
-send by the alternative
-see if you can send via fax in batches pls confirm you said it was returned that you sent more than three documents

Note when l sent via faxzero it was just two documents

Thanks for your response. With respect to number 1 and your response to same, like i noted the question applies to someone ALREADY in the pool and ALREADY has an ITA. If the principal applicant having an education assessment certificate number was a must, I do not think the system would have permitted entrance into the pool. To provide more perspective, I believe the principal applicant in this case has a canadian qualification as the highest qualification. The focus was with respect to the spouse, so to rephrase ... is the credential assessment essential for the spouse, where there is a score high enough to get an ITA and the principal applicant has Canadian qualification?

Great thread here, very enlightening ...

I have a few questions:

1. If one gets an ITA without doing a credential evaluation, is it still necessary to do one? In other words, in completing your profile, you had noted that the credential evaluation has not been done yet but you still received a good score and got an ITA, do you still have to do the credential evaluation? What impact does the credential evaluation have on CIC's decision and are there any examples of people who have successfully applied without doing the evaluation.

2. What are the chances of getting a police clearance certificate without being physically present in Nigeria?

3. With respect to proof of FOP, reading through this thread I see people talking about average balance being what is required. Is average balance still what is required today or this has changed? I ask this because of this additional information I found on the CIC page

If you are applying for permanent residence in Canada, you must provide an official letter
issued by your financial institution indicating your financial profile. This must:
• list of all your bank (chequing and savings) and investment accounts, the account
numbers, dates each account was opened and the balance of each account over
the past six months,
• list all outstanding debts, such as credit cards and loans,
• be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution, and include your name and
the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and
email
address).

The portion in bold does not state average balance so can any one advice?

4. Is there any lawyer qualified in Nigeria here who has successfully gotten PR through EE? If yes, in what NOC category did you apply?

I am grateful for insightful answers to the above. Thank you

when did your school send it and how did they send it,was it by normal post or courier.For me l had to follow up with my school to ensure that they send the transcript.IQAS will surely send you a mail once they receive it.

Great forum! Great thread!! I've been following this thread for a while now and I must commend the great minds and great people of this forum who in so much ways has dedicated their time in dishing out information.

As a newbie, I'm about taking the IELTS come March 4th. someone should render kind assistance to my questions;

1) Is it advisable I take the exam with my spouse though I'm the principal applicant? If yes, will it increase my score

2) What is the minimum IELTS score to that can enable one enter the pool? (As this will inspire me)

3) After the IELTS, what is the next step to take?

Please great minds in the house should help me on this. Thank you

All the way from Canada student visa thread, where I am an active member. I will like to know possibility of express entry while studying.

Profile: 4 years volunteer teacher experience, 1 year full time nysc experience that ended April 2015. Currently working as GA in a federal university for the past 5-6months.

Wondering if students visa documents like medical, police cert, etc are applicable to Express entry, as a way of reducing cost.

Is there anyone with profile similar to mine that had been successful in the express entry/fed skill race?

What's the house opinion on my profile, eligibility, etc?

Can I get concise intro into the whole process?

Are there things I need to know as I follow your conversations?

Thank you.

I am humble and loyal. Elders in the house, help me!

1. 490 is Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF), while 550 is the application fee. RPRF is refundable if application is refused as it is the cost for COPR and PR card.

2. You need proofs to show that the cooperative money is yours. If you can provide the terms and agreement of the cooperative and proofs that the money was taken from you account in the first place, you should be alright.

3. Nope. However, if the funds are in your account for 6 months, there won't be need to show any proofs or write LOE.

4. Actually, 6 months bank statements is not what IRCC requires, it is a letter from your bank that gives the following info: account opening date, type of account, current balance and average balance for the past 6 months. People get bank statements as a work-around when their banks refuse to give them a letter in the required format. To answer your question, if you are submitting bank statements, yes, you will still have to submit 6 months bank statements.

5. I think FD and Tbills are acceptable. This does not mean you won't still provide your bank statements sha.

6. 90 days

If you have payslips and any additional proof of employment just add it. I think it is the job responsibilities that matter more than the job title.

Hello guys, i must say this forum has really been helpull and educative.
I have a pressing concern and would appreciate a genuine clarification.

I signed up online for the IELTS exam slated for 11 February in PH and I'm at work (offshore) at the moment returning in 2 weeks.

For the need to make payment with bank draft, will it suffice to send someone I know in maybe Enugu or Abuja to submit the draft in either of the British Council's office on my behalf along with scanned copy of all required documents?

I'm deeply grateful for the expected response.

GOODNEWS!!!

Mehn, this my vacation to Nigeria na WAKA WELL OH!,
First of all, I went to apply for a US visa in Abuja a few days ago and got it!!!..I am very excited because this is 10years after I last made 3 applications which well all denied.....lol grin nor be small!!

Secondly, today, I got my January 7th IELTS result which I wrote in Benin and was super excited about the score because its exactly the marks required.

Overall Band 7.5

Listening 8.0
Reading 7.0
Writing 7.0
Speaking 7.0

NOTE: This Is coming after I had previously written the Dec 3rd. IELTS in KSA and had superb results except for writing. Infact I was so devastated because it was my best effort.

Overall Band 8.0
Listening 8.0
Reading 8.0
Writing 6.5
Speaking 8.0

Thanks to these great people for their encouragement @vcole @dupsyshoo @ugoiyke73e @iphie25 @JesusDWay and others who gave good advices. I simply asked for a remark (which will come out in March) and rebooked another test.

So now I am good to go with CRS of 469 and rady to dive into the Swimming POOL grin which I know will open this Wednesday.....lol

Questions:
1. Can I make my EE profile without my Ielts TRF number? I am waiting on DHL and don't know if they will send it to Benin before Wednesday (draw date).
2. I am entering the pool as single but hope to marry soon, please when is the best time to do so and update CIC, which timing/method will ensure a fast process without too much delay
3. Abeg any MEDLAB graduate here? I want to be sure if I an use WES for my fiancée's degree evaluation because the Canadian professional body for them will not even accept their result alongside those from Australia and uk because they didn't do a certain rotation (histotechnology)


Thanks once again and for the IELTS hopefuls, prepare well using ieltsliz.com (watch her videos and read her instructions because she gives standard advices), and practise the Cambridge 1 - 11 in a simulated exam environment. best of Luck!

It is better you keep the money intact. If you do, you will not need any LOE. Your POF will just be the letter from your bank or bank statements.

On the other hand, if you transfer lump sum to your account after ITA and you can explain the source of the funds with LOE and gift deed, it should not be an issue.

optionese:
questions for the lawyers here, it seems our profession is not in demand in any of the provinces , is there any NOC code that may fit into any of our job description that may be in demand. also let me add that on the lower bench.please response from the lawyers here will be very much appreciated .

iphie25:
Hi optionese,
First of all I want to say again dt IQAS is d only evaluating body that understands foreign law degrees, concludes d evaluation in record time and is cheaper.
For ur first question...IQAS recognises dt Nig has direct entry programmes for Law and it's four years. I'm thinking it'll be written on ur transcripts dt it's a direct entry programme u came in thru. But to be on the safe side you can attach ur dip degree or request for ur transcripts and also explain to them in a written note.
For ur 2nd ?....yes your age, work experience and ielts are d determining factors. If ur less than 30 or at most 32 you should get good points. If. U hv 3years work experience and try to score atleast 8777 in LRWS in IELTS your scores should be well over 450 atleast.
If u v any queries...don't hesitate to ask.
