Hello all, I got an ADR today asking for my proof of funds “Please provide updated and pertinent documentation issued by a financial
institution supporting your Proof of Settlement funds, including bank statements for the last 6
months for ALL of your bank accounts. Please note all funds must be liquid and immediately
accessible”

So I had it in fixed deposit in my account the whole time. It was a gift deed from my dad. Should I unfreeze it? That’s what they mean by liquid and immediately accessible right?

MayorOfEdmonton:
Yes you should unfreeze it.
Someone here had same ADR a while back.
‘Unfreeze’ it and show the paper trail from when the gift was deposited =>FD=> back in accessible savings account and highlight it in your statement of account. + a new bank reference letter.
U can add a short LoE to provide clarity. e.g I received gift deed on xx/xx/2025 and to ensure the funds is exclusively for settling in Canada I invested in FD on xx/xx/2025. I liquidated the investment on xx/xx/2026 and the said fund is now accessible in my savings account with XYZ bank ltd blah blah blah.
All the best!!

Hello,
I would like to get some guidance on possible ways to improve my CRS score. My professional experience of over 7 years has been in HR with masters. I was also able to get an average of 11 in CELPIP test but I can see my experience is not in any of the preferred NOC categories.
I still entered the pool, CRS score of 454 what are my chances and what can I do boost my CRS score at this point ?

Hi all, my younger brother got an ADR for tax form. I’m assuming that’s the tax clearance certificate which we have. The problem is the gross annual pay on the tax cert is different from the gross pay at his work place—it’s about 1M more on the tax cert. this is because he self declared his other source of income to the Internal Revenue Service in Ogun state. So from his employer, he earns 120k in a month but he does side gigs: lesson teacher, completes assignments for students in uni for cash payment around 10-11k every month and he declared it for taxes so they’ve just always added it to his primary employer’s tax deduction. But he didn’t declare this to IRCC cos he didn’t want to complicate his application since it’s a cash payment and no proof of it. Should we go ahead to submit the tax cert as requested and wait for an explanation or should we provide an explanation for the discrepancy upfront? I’ve read that putting extra info complicates applications that’s why we’re confused. I’d appreciate any advice pls. Thank you

Na wa o
If I may ask what were the initial docs submitted to prove employment apart from the reference letter?

Hello Everyone,
Please I am new here.

I have a question that I would really appreciate to get answered.

1. I have 2 withdrawn profile on my express entry due to some mistakes I made in the filling of my application in the work experience section. Please I will like to know if this will not affect me after the submission of my PR, documents and I hope the visa officers will not make not make reference to the withdrawn application incase there are some information that does not tally.

Thank you very much as I await your responses, advise and recommendations 🙏

Hello. Everyone I and my wife are planning to apply for the Canada PR. She is a medical professional (Radiographer and on the way to get her Radiotherapy degree as well). I am a Perp Trader for a living. We have done our bits with the CSR thing and we would sit somewhere at 494. What are our chances..

TallNigerian:
Hello, yes there is a strong probability that IRCC officer will juxtapose your previous profile(s) with the current one for inconsistencies. It's what they do now. Many people luckily get PFL, but unfortunately some others get outright rejection without the chance for fair hearing.

If you haven't submitted your application yet, do well to declare all the previous work experiences
you deleted, edited or left in your previous/present profile under personal history.

The screenshot I attached was just yesterday.

chimzyblack:
This is one of the best way to evade getting refused. If you have multiple profiles with different NOCs ensure to declare all the work experience both in the previous profile and in your current profile in the personal history section of your EPR application. You will most likely get a PFL, but doing this, gives you a slim chance of getting Approval if you can properly explain the discrepancies and you have supporting documents to backup your explanations.

KASZYLIEZ:
Please i recently got ITA, meanwhile in my expired profile i had 3 different work history, same as my new profile in which i got ITA from
But the issue is, one of the work history expired profile carried a wrong date (had work start in feb 2020 and ended feb 2022, and on my new profile, the work history is corrected to start 2018 and end 2019)
Please what should i do as regards this?

TheJayJay:
I think you should thoroughly explain it in your personal statement as a mistake.

TallNigerian:
To add to this, please ensure your letter of explanation is properly worded.

The first good thing as Chimzyblack has rightly stated is that you are informed about how this can affect your application and so declaring this yourself before an officer finds out gives you some leverage.

But most importantly, avoid using certain trigger words in your LOE that make it appear as though you were misrepresenting.

Saying it was an error is good. Also, avoid explanations that do not add up or that can trigger extra scrutiny.


All the best.

KASZYLIEZ:
Thank you so much.
Though i already have reference that carried the date for the particular job.

Good day! Am New on this Canada PR forum, pis i have a question to ask, must my partner writes the English language exams even though my CRS score can cover the both of us? I studied French as a course in uni, so l will be writing the TEF, I'm in my 20s. Secondly my partners bachelor degree is kind of difficult to evaluate cause he finished from a university in Benin republic.Do I have to evaluate his qualifications as well?
Pls I want to know, if all this is mandatory? Thanks for your response in advance.

Hello house, I'm new here! I got the result of my TCF Canada this week. NCLC 8. I'm good to go!

I started learning French with Duolingo 2 years ago but I finally joined Alliance Francaise in OCT 2024 , I spent a little over a year getting from A1.1 - B2.4 I had to quit my job to focus on it.

I have my CELPIP, TCF. I'm still feeling euphoric, getting a reference that ties into an NOC is getting a little tricky. I have written to the HR at my former firm.

Thank you house I just wanted to introduce myself. I look forward to sharing my journey and learning how to navigate mine through contributions here. Merci à tous.

TallNigerian:
No general draw for a while now, so consider the healthcare category draw. How did you arrive at 494? Have you both sat for IELTS? Check if your occupation is included among the eligible NOCs gor healthcare category.

beware of this scammer

He's the same person as the famous notorious scammer on nairaland called Stephen ademola ayantoye

Gentlelord:
Hi guys, New on this platform, is there a hack to get dates for CELPIP exam?

MayorOfEdmonton:
The answer to both questions is No. There’s is no requirement and no documents will be required I believe.
The only consequence is you’d get 0 on ‘spouse factor’.
But with more than enough CRS points for French category, it’s inconsequential.
Cheers
