OTOIDEEHI:
Good morning, FAM.
There was an employment that was removed from an applicant 's work history to his personal history due to the fact that he could not provide enough supporting documents to prove that he worked there, however his CRS score remained the same.
My question is that does this applicant need to provide a reference letter from that company when submitting his application

No

Tinababe01:
Hello everyone.

Please must my pof be in my account from the first day of joining express entry pool?

Will a reference letter from previous employer be enough ?or they require payslips?

Thanks for your expected responses.

You don't need to have POF in your account when you apply for Express Entry or when you receive an ITA.

I know someone who sold his land after receiving an ITA. He provided all the documents (deeds, receipts , etc) from when he purchased the land to when he sold it. He also highlighted in his bank statements, the date he paid for the land, as well as when he sold the land.

There are also people who have used 100 gift deeds. See link: https://www.nairaland.com/5187408/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/412#80822331

What IRCC requests for is a reference letter from your employer. This letter is to demonstrate that you possess the relevant experience you are claiming and that it aligns with your NOC. What you’re applying for is a Federal Skilled Worker immigration program. However, some people include payslips or bank statements, and highlight the salary deposits into their accounts. Whatever document you can include not to get an ADR, please include it.

Francieuche:
Please who added spouse recently post COPR /stamped visa? Please what is the process?

Raise a web form and inform IRCC. Also attach marriage certificate.

You will receive an acknowledgment and asked to send in your passport and COPR for cancellation.

You will also receive an ADR to submit Spousal addition kit, Schedule A, BIL, Medicals, updated POF, police clearance, visa fees, etc.

Mayfair19:
Hello everyone,

Please I want to know if I can use a USD account for my POF.

I've been given contradictory information about this issue and I would like to know if it's okay to submit a bank statement from a dollar account rather than having to convert to naira considering the unstable exchange rates.

Yes. Having POF in USD is better.

Benrichard:
Good evening all, please I submitted my ITA on the 28/04/23 n used oanda n xe rate to calculate mt pof for a family of 3 which was 20371cad at #340 to 1cad,= #6,926,140 but used #8m at d rate of #392 to 1cad, but later increased it to 12.5m because of exchange rate fluctuations,
Done medicals n biometric n After waiting without response, I apply for gcms notes where I saw in that my case officer said my initial pof ws insufficient.
Pls I need your advice on what to do next.

Did you raise a webform to notify IRCC after you increased your POF from 8m to 12.5m? If you haven't, I think you should do it immediately. Include a detailed letter of explanation stating exchange rate situation and attach your bank statement.

8m to 12.5 is quite huge, so you might want to include how you were able to raise 4.5m. Gift deed, savings/investment, etc

All the best

TimofCanada:
Good Afternoon My People,

Please I need clarification on PNP, Saskatchewan to be precise, do I have to have had the POF in my account before I apply for Expression of Interest. or how does it work?

You must have the "Minimum Funds Required" for a minimum of three months before you submit your application and then throughout the immigration and permanent residency process.

Pamperme:
Hello

My friend fell out with his agent, and asked her to withdraw his EE profile. Unfortunately, he doesn't even have any details of the application. How does he go ahead with a new profile without the old number?

I wanted to advise him to create a new profile and delete it. So he can create another new one referencing the one he deleted. I am not sure if this is the best advice and decided to seek help from you all instead.

Thank you

Is the agent a licensed immigration consultant with the IRCC? What information/documents does the agent have about you? Does she have access to your email?

I would recommend creating a new EE profile with a GCKey username and password. If you receive an ITA, you can proceed with the application.

If the profile held by the agent and receives an ITA, it’s useless to them without your involvement. Keep in mind that profiles expire after one year. Don’t let any agent hold you hostage

Luchiee:
Hello everyone.. pls I have a few questions that I need help with in preparation for ITA:

1. If you have 6yrs work experience but for the past 1yr 6months you have been unemployed due to relocation, is that a problem for EE and if it is, how do you think I can explain it without creating problems for myself

2. Would I need a PCC for my kids? Or just spouse and I ?

3. If I only put my husband’s WE in personal history post ITA but my POF is in his account gotten from savings in another country, would it raise an eyebrow? I am only trying to avoid getting reference letters from Nigeria and this new country.

Pls advice. Thanks

1. Not an issue. Your skilled work experience should however be within the last 10 years.

2. Depends. PCC required only for dependents 18 years and above.

3. If you are the PA, do not include his work experience in your EE profile. Add it to his Personal History after you receive ITA. If you want to use the funds in your husband’s account as POF, he will need to provide a consent letter giving you full access to utilize the funds in his account.

Heenarh:
Hello everyone,
Trust we are all having a great weekend. Please is there anyone that knows how long it takes to process a PCC in the UK? I have submitted my application for about a month now and I have not gotten any response at all. I would also like to confirm if the medical assessment has to be completed before submitting a PR application. Thank you.

I applied for my UK PCC on the 25th January and chose to have it delivered to my address in Nigeria.

On 8th February, I received an email that it was ready and would be dispatched.

One month after (8th March), nothing. Sent an email to customer services and called them. Then I provided them with an address in the UK for them to send a replacement copy. The replacement copy was sent a week after to the UK address.

Bullish99:
Gd morning great pple.

Pls how long does it take to get the physical copy of WES evaluation. I only have the online downloaded copy. Pls see attached picture.

You do not need the physical copy. In creating your EE profile, you already included the ECA Ref number. That’s all you need.

In fact, when you receive ITA, IRCC will not ask you to upload your ECA report. What they ask for is to upload your degree certificate. What some people do though is to merge the degree certificate with the ECA report.

Deedee05:
Good evening Nairaland, I need your advice on this. I did another Ielts test and updated it on my profile then I transmitted but got a message that my profile is ineligible. What could be wrong? What do I do next?

Create a new profile again and please carefully review the requirements before creating the profile.

For e.g., IRCC increased the minimum POF amount in April this year. Check that the POF amount is more than what is required

Tgain:
Happy sunday everyone. The draws are refusing to go below the 480 regions. Is there any hope for anyone within the 475-477 score?. Thank you

If you can, learn French and write the TEF to boost your score

Emmaus12:
My People does it matter when you get your deed of gift finalised.

Expecting an inflow around end July when I will be submitting. I hope it wouldn't matter as long as gift is properly prepared and notarised?

Doesn't matter
You can get a gift deed today and submit tomorrow

Omoniyimi12345:
Good morning,

I need advice please. I am in the pool as a primary applicant with CRS of 445. This is because my husband hasn’t done IELTS and his ECA is not out yet. When I removed him, my score was 475. Should I leave it as 475? If I do, will I be able to add my husband again after I get an ITA?

You can remove your husband now and add him after you receive an ITA. However, you will need to provide an explanation letter.

After adding your husband, the processing officer will recalculate your scores with the draw cut-off point when you received the ITA. If your score remains above, no issue; otherwise, if the recalculated score comes below the draw cut-off, then the application will be refused.

My advise will be just stay in the pool and help your spouse prepare for the IELTS and ECA

Empiano:
Y'all should read this.

Thanks.
Could you pls share the source?

raheemkeji:
What’s the hope for those of us waiting for FSW draw. Been in the pool with 480 and my IELTS will be expired in January. I’m extremely frustrated.

Even if you get an NOI from a province now, it might take a couple of months before you get the actual Provincial nomination, and by then your IELTS would have expired and you will no longer be eligible for Express entry.

My advice will be to write another IELTS now, while exploring PNP routes.

If your occupation is in demand in Ontario and you're not risk averse, you can remove your sibling and pray you get an NOI with 465, while preparing for and writing another IELTS.

And if they resume FSW draw before you get an NOI, you add your sibling back in your profile and pray that the FSW draw is not one-off.

The risk of not taking a risk is that depending on your age, you might drop points on the day you should be celebrating your birthday.

Marytess:
Good day everyone,
I was found ineligible without any reason given when I applied for Canada express entry.
Please can someone help me with the reasons for ineligible applications.

Also must my spouse write IELTS for express entry (he is not the primary applicant tho)

The reason why it says you are ineligible is because you filled something wrong.

Did you answer "No" when it asked if you have done your Education Credential Assessment (ECA)? You have to provide the ECA reference number

Did you answer "NO" when it asked you if your English language exam is less than 2 years? You have to provide your TRF number

Did you input a lower amount than when you were asked to input the amount you have as proof of funds?

Do you have at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)?

Check your applications again and correct it. You might need to delete your existing application and create a new one.

Good morning house. Pls I’m having issues with creating my express entry profile. I’ve been given a personal code but I can’t find the place to input it. When I log in with my gc key, it asks me to press “continue” and then takes me to the main page again. I’d appreciate any assistance I can get on this, I’ve been on it for some weeks now. Thanks.

Good morning,
WES evaluated my result last year and sent me the soft copy only. I want to know if the hard copy is needed after receiving ITA. Thanks

You don't need the hardcopy.
When you receive your ITA, you upload your soft copy.
IRCC won't ask you for the hardcopy of any your documents

Ikenna99:
Good day everyone. There's something I would like to ask: can my transcripts be sent to WES from my school via email service? If yes, how do I get the email address that it will be sent to?
I'm asking this because, on my profile, WES stated that transcripts should be sent along with our reference number to their physical (mailing) address. I believe the email option would be faster and cheaper, compared to the mailing physically, and I would just want to find out the possibility of an alternative (electronic means).

It depends on the school. Some Nigerian universities (like OAU) have established relationship with WES, and can send electronic transcripts directly to WES.

Other schools can send electronic transcripts to WES through a third party, e.g ETX.

Click here: https://applications.wes.org/required-documents/

And click on View Requirements.

It will tell you the documents required and how to send your transcripts electronically to WES.

themonk:
Hello All, Good day.

Please I have a pressing concern, I read electronic engineering but I’ve been working as a data scientist/Business intelligence analyst since I graduated from college. I also have a masters in computer science but the period since my masters isn’t up to 3 years. The person helping me apply says that my work experience must be Electronic Engineering based since it’s not been up to 3 years since I finished my masters.

The idea according to him is that you must have a work experience that corresponds with your education for 3 years. How true is this and is there a way I can use my Data science career as work experience?

See response below:

Queenhadassah:


To be eligible for express entry you must have at least 1 year work experience but having 3 years or more work experience will increase your CRS. Your work experience doesn't have to be related to what you studied in school except you want to apply for Saskatchewan PNP. Also your work experience could be post first degree or masters degree, it doesn't matter. I'll advice you go through page 1 of this thread very well, do your own research because it's obvious the person helping you apply knows nothing!

You don't need anyone to help you apply.

xxoxx:
Hello good people ,
Wes evaluate my twin HND as "diploma 3 yrs , postgraduate certificate 1 yr".

My concern now will the summary count as two or more certificate ,because that's what he is using to simulate crs score
Thanks

Yes.

You have a 3 years diploma and a 1 year post graduate certificate

vicechopsticksz:
Hello, Please how do i track my LLB evaluation progress on my CES account? i got an email from CES stating my transcript documents has been received and my application currently under review.

Thank you.

You can't track again.

CES will send you an email whenever there's an update to your application.

Honeysweetest:
Ndewonu ooo, I just started this whole Canada process, I started reading from part A, but I am confused, it seems I must take this ielts before I do anything,even to check if I am eligible to apply at all? Someone answer abeg.

I'll suggest you evaluate your credentials first. And as your credentials are being evaluated, prepare for the IELTS.

The moment you get your ECA, you book for the IELTS.

Chantell21:

Good morning house, I updated my EE profile with the new proof of funds some weeks ago ($13213). This morning, I woke and got an email about my EE profile, when I check on the IRCC website, I was told that I'm not eligible to apply. I don't know what the problem is. My CRS score is 468.

Can someone please shed more light on this?

Did you Transmit after updating your POF?
