I was paid in cash - see page 1 post 7 (FAQ 19)
The company has no online presence and/or is unregistered - see page 1 post 7 (FAQ 25 edited)

These are personal opinions in some cases - final decision is yours.

Thanks a lot GraciousWords

People with unregistered businesses have gotten PPR. Just provide references letter, add bank statements to show payments or cheque payments. If it was paid in cash the VO may ask for more documents. I remember one PNP applicant that claimed to work in a farm. When the VO checked the address on google maps. There was no farm visible from the satellite view .

Thank you so much Ednut. This one is verifiable even if they want to visit site, they can. It's cash payment though.

If the business is unregistered, then it doesn't pay tax, meaning it is not a real business in the eyes of visa officials. It is better to register the company as a limited liability company (LTD) asap.

Unregistered businesses still pay money to the govt one way or the other. This one I believe will have such receipts. Registering it now might be a red flag

Sorry for the late response Ednut1 GraciousWords 79733139

Have been a bit under the weather. Didn't know COVID was still a thing until I caught it.

Please guys does foreign travel invalidate PCC issued before the person left Nigeria? I am only on a visit visa and my place of residence is still Nigeria. I got PCC in October and will submit application this December. Do I need to get a new one?

Hello everyone, just sharing an update on my process while I waitttt for four months to pass I got my successful TEF results last week so I have those extra 50 points for French. I haven’t taken my IELTS yet but I’m registered to take it next week. If my French results were just a teeny bit better (C1 all around), I wouldn’t have needed to take IELTS but with just 3 B2+s and 1 C1 in TEF with 3 years work experience, my eligibility is 64/100 so I need to take IELTS.

At 28, married, masters degree, husband with 2 or more certificates, B2 + for TEF, maxed IELTS, and 3 years work experience, we’re looking at a CRS of 525…with IELTS results of 8777, a CRS of 513.

I’m the principal applicant because my husband has lost points for age, can’t speak French and has already taken IELTS twice (both of which are now even expired.) If he was the principal applicant with our current profile, the max CRS we can have is 462. So I’m glad I can be the principal applicant and we’ll have a good enough CRS.

Only thing now is despite all my existing work experience, none is 1 year continuous. My current job is 8 months gone so I have to wait until April 2024 before I can enter the pool even though I have everything else ready ECA and TEF and soon IELTS.

I can’t wait for 4 months to fly by so I can finally enter the pool and get that ITA I have so desired to get since I found out about express entry in 2017.

I think you can use NYSC work experience, if you have that.
Congratulations

Thank you! I was physically present for NYSC for about 10 months only. I left the country two months before POP and IRCC can see that in my travel history

This reminds me of Kemi Adeosun. Na you use your hand type this one here. Later in the future when you're accused of cheating the scheme to get certificate, you will be jumping upandan

Just be patient.

I checked my tracker (Couldn't access it before because I wasn't using my full name) and realized eligibility had been completed since September 25 but I didn't get Request Letter on GCkeys till November 27. Didn't get any RFV email too. There's really no rhyme or reason to this thing.

NwanyiOkpa:
Hello, all the sections have been completed in my application when i checked via tracker since 22nd of november but no update yet. I had received an ADR on the 17th of nov which i updated on the 21st of NOV.

and the tracker updated on the 22nd that eligibility is completed.

No update yet on GCKEY. Has anyone faced similar occurrence?

Please don’t be so quick to jump to conclusions, ask questions first. I initially had to travel because of medical reasons. This was documented at the place where I served. I took permission and it was granted. Have a nice day!

Just got my IELTS result Speaking-8.5, Reading-8.0-Listening-8.0, Writing-7.0. Overall score -8.0

My score is 475. At this point i am tired. I just entered the pool like that.

Good evening guys!
At what point does one have to start using the tracker?
At AOR stage, I still cannot use it because of UCI wahala

Hi dear
Trust you're doing well? I'm sorry for the late response, I've not been active here for a while. Happy birthday in arrears and I hope you had a great one

To be on the safer side, only apply using PCC obtained after you have left the country.

If you leave Dec 15th, get PCC from 16th.

Hello Guys, I’m planning on entering the pool soon, I’ve read the thread but I still have some questions. I’d be glad if I can get answers.

1. I work in a bank (foreign operations, funds transfer). I can’t seem to find the NOC for this. The NOC I saw was for general banking officer and the duties do not really tally with what I do.

2. I have 1.5 years Experience from a bank, and another 10months experience from another bank(total not up to 3 years), but I have other work experience( customer service). Do I add all these as my primary occupation? And do I get references for all three?

I'll advise remarking your writing. It'll most likely come back higher and that should improve your score. Also, MOD and BC recently introduced single skill rewrite, so you can rewrite listening alone and fully max out your points. All the best.

Pls guys, if a company was registered after I left the company, can it still be used as a suitable work experience.. eg. I worked there 2018 - may 2022, company got registered in October 2022, salary payment was in cash. Pls Do you think it will be a problem?

IRCC don't accept one skill rewrite for express entry. Cheers!

Thank you so much! I will do a new one.

Please will applying from the UK have any adverse effect on my application? My family is back home in Nigeria and I have seriously been considering going back home to apply from there since my deadline got extended by 60 days.

NOC 10021. You can check the matching job title.

For your experience, add everything, so it’s more than 3 years. And get references for all three, hopefully you get an invite.

But keep tracking it. Once you have 3 years experience in the bank, you remove the customer services experience.

Thank you.
Though I’m not sure this NOC still tallies.

Secondly, please do I submit the references when entering the pool or you can only submit when you get ITA. If references will be submitted after ITA, then my second bank should get me 1.5 years too, so I won’t bother with the customer service as you said

You don't submit references when entering the pool. It's after ITA.

Wahala... This road is not an easy one.

I am currently a student in Canada although, I am about rounding off my course. I know its not time for me to apply for PR because I must have at least one year experience in my field of studies. however, i would like to familiarize myself with what it takes to get one ready for the process and this brings me to my questions.

the one year work experience is for CEC. There has been no CEC draws since late 2021. So you may want to focus on other things that can increase your scores in the pool or get job in the in demand occupations.

Hi. I just received passport request for my pr application. I keep getting conflicting information online about the VFS office that is fast that I should submit to. I need more credible information. Thanks in advance

Applying from the UK is fine. Just make sure you submit proper documentation. You'll need PCC from the UK as well. Also make sure you submit a valid PCC (Be in the country to use any date before the PCC expires or use the one you collected after you left the country)

An assistant can apply. Just get a job first.
If you have a valid medical, you don't need to do a new one.
