I just got an invitation to apply from EE category based draw. After 3 years in the pool, 2 IELTS and expired passport. I’ve lost so much hope that I’ve even forgotten how the process works. I have to go read up on them again now.

Now the journey begins!
Congratulations 🎉 I know how it feels smiley
May the rest of the journey be smooth for you.

I have been on this journey since 2019.

Wrote my first IELTS and got LRSW 9987, CRS was 463 then COVID hit and everything went downhill from there. Watching time run out on my IELTS was one of the most painful things, I was so pained that I just ignored Canada.

Last month a friend encouraged me to write IELTS and enter the pool again. I did on the 24th and got LRSW 9888. I was so afraid but thank God I passed. CRS is now 445 due to age. The pain no be here.

Meanwhile I did a tech course in 2022 and pivoted because law is not a cross-border profession. I also dabbled into farming during COVID because man must chop.

As it stands now na only God fit run this Canada PR for me and I am writing this post just to put it out there that I will not write this traumatic IELTS again and my ECA will not expire in my hand without me and my family getting our PR.

Currently also learning french. I have suffered on top this matter.

Tired of feeling down about this so I just had to let it out. Pardon my rant abeg.

Oluwa please show up for your girl. Any which way na way.

Guyssssss, Oluwa has shown up for me oooo. ITA don come. Thank you all for your encouragement when I came here to rant sometime in July. My family and I are now properly on this journey. May God make it fast and smooth for us.

Please can someone clarify me on this?

While in the pool, I applied for study and was admitted to a school in BC. Been gearing up to apply for my student visa before ITA came.

I did upfront medicals for my student visa earlier this month. My question now is will i need to do another medicals for my PR or will the one I did for student visa suffice?

Please help a sister.

Short answer - the old medicals should suffice.

Hello House, my profile was SPOUSE UNNACCOMPANIED due to our pursuit of points, but I got ITA yesterday for the Agric food program, and the CRS was at 354 which means I can add my wife without being ineligible due to points..I hope there is a way I can include her post-ITA (pre-AOR)..

I guess you are a lawyer, let's be positive,we will get there, I used the Noc for legal assistant, it's not regulated, not like using Noc for a solicitor.
This is if you wish to explore pnp.
I applied for Saskatchewan PNP. Fortunately,legal assistant is among the needed Noc.

Page 1 FAQ 34 also study this link carefully: https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/588#102548277

IF your personal CRS after changing to spouse accompanying is still above the draw CRS of 354, then you can change to spouse accompanying pre AOR, nothing do you.

However, if your personal CRS drops below the draw CRS of 354 when you change to spouse accompanying, then obviously don't.

AFAIK if you were already married (but spouse unaccompanying) pre ITA, then whether you add spouse post ITA, pre AOR or post AOR, the change will affect your CRS.

Some people say they added unaccompanying spouse post PPR - search NL for them.

Hi all
I need guidance on Ontario pnp.
I don’t have the fund at all. I heard gift deed work, how is the process like?
And for normal bank statements, they asked for 90days, they gave me 45 days to apply. Are they requiring to have those funds 90days before which I don’t?

It doesn’t really matter whether you upload any document ( either statement or certificate) I.e your own upload is not that important… just have your school send your transcript and statement/certificate directly to WES.. and that’s what WES will work with.. I didn’t upload any document and my evaluation was done ..

Thank you

Hello all,

I just got a mail to send my passport and other docs for Confirmation of Permanent Residence. I heard the VFS Lagos-Accra procedure takes a lot of time.

Does anyone have some direction on how to go through a Country that processes it faster. Thank you

Nice thanks.

It was via DHL or UPS 2-Way right.

My question: How was payment made for Kenya VFS. I can pay the courier fee for DHL at their office but how do I pay the Kenya VFS fee. I'm on the website and it looks like you have to pay in person.

Thanks

Hello, please was it 5 weeks for the entire process (i.e. from VFS to time of return) or just the time it spent in Accra?

Good Morning,
I have been a silent reader, been following this thread since i joined the pool in 2020. Every question i had was answered here. Recently received my COPR and want to share the timeline
Long Post Alert long but not that long grin
Family of 2
VO: CPC Ottawa
ITA: Nov 20
AOR: 6 Jan 21
MEP/BIL: 2 Feb 21
Biometrics: 5 Feb 21

Long wait!!!! cry cry

New PCC: 8 April 22
Upfront Re-Meds: 9 April 22

Then the tsunami of mails to my VO and webforms wink I sent both emails and webforms 3 times a week.

Re-Med request: 4 May 22
Kept sending the e-med sheet via mail and webforms (old and new links)

ADR (PCC, POF, Valid Passport, Sch A, Additional Family info): 6 May 22

ADR submitted: 10 May 22. Merged medical results to
PCC and Passport and uploaded to placeholder

ADR acknowledged/ 2nd MEP: 11 May 22

Called IRCC (3 hours wait) and was told everything had been passed, and to wait for RFV mail. Started researching with country to send passports to, VFS lagos was just not an option after reading about the wait time here. Decided on Kenya VFS.

RFV mail: 17 May 22.
Passport submitted to DHL: 18 May 22
Passport arrived VFS Nairobi: 24 May 22
Passport dispatched to IRCC Nairobi: 25 May 22
Passport arrived IRCC: 27 May 22
Decision envelope to VFS Nairobi: 31 May 22

Took the email from VFS to DHL for pick up same day
Envelope picked up: 2 June 22
Passports/ COPR received in hand 6 June 22

It was a really daunting journey, had to take my mind of it at a point. Came back to it early this year. Started disposing of items no longer needed at home with hopes that the approval will happen before the end of the first half of the year. This forum was also comforting, with words of encouragement that was in constant supply.
Praying we all will get our good news soon. Thank you

Good day all, my family name has a hyphen in it as it’s a compound name, after my biometrics capturing, the slip given to me didn’t contain any hyphen and the officer in the center said it was ok, I need clarity on this as the name on the portal is showing my surname without any hyphen.

Did you book on their website or via email? I’m unable to book, seems their website is having technical issue.

On your issue, I think since you’ve booked and theirs a placeholder to upload it on your application you should just go there and do the medical.

Maybe you chose manager in agriculture NOC which is not part of the 3 NOC in this category. Check the NOC in this category and see if the job duties align with your job description, then you can change to it if it does
