I have moved passed it. We are all not the VO. The most important thing is to be credible and honest in all off the information you provide...your profession ooo....your job experience....(which is ur NOC) Every other thing that they need clarification on, be able to clarify. My thots again....I wonder what people that studied Economics and wrote Econimist as profession will do if they are claiming customer service NOC

@ysmd says she wants to put compliance officer in her job history and put accountant in her personal history for the exact same period, is that not something a VO would wonder about?

@tpyogirl.
Don't answer yes to both questions. Refusal of entry is different from refusal of visa.
Refusal of entry is when you get to another country and you are not allowed to go in at the border. Hence you might have been given a visa and still denied entry.

Not accurate. It's been thrashed and agreed earlier. The answer should be yes to the 2.

Ok thanks, no issue with Endorser, just wanted to had an idea if processing has starting, I'll just be patient and wait for the 12 days specified

Do you know the validity of the UK one?

The correct thing to do is answer YES to both questions. The other question isn't just about refusal of entry. Please let's read and comprehend the questions before giving our opinions.

pls for those with local government marriage certificate, is it advisable to go on with one's application with the certificate or have anoda marriage at Federal registry. Even after name change on one's passport.

Specialty doesn't matter when it comes to evaluation. Your MBA would most likely be assessed as equivalent of a Canadian Masters degree.

Note that 3 years work experience gives you the highest point for that section. You may move others to the personal history section when you get ITA and filling your e-APR.

So if you have worked up to 3 years or more in your present employment, that should be sufficient. Otherwise, you may have to obtain a reference letter for the previous employment. I don't think there is any harm in obtaining all if it's not too tedious for you.

Check the job duties of your proposed code (NOC 1111) and see if it matches what you currently do. Google can very helpful here.

Use NOC of Accountants....evaluate ur MBA only.

Make enquiries from the issuing registry on the possibility of reissue of the marriage certificate with the occupation corrected. The earlier the better.

Wow. Okay. I have to make the inquiry fast. Thanks.

I have been following dis thread quietly. I need some explanations. I have seen that people claim 1 year NYSC experience as part of work experience. My NYSC experience is in NOC 4031 ( secondary school teacher). I studied accounting so I taught accounts during youth service. After that I have worked for only 6months as an accountant in a company(NOC 1111) before I resigned to face my full time masters programme which ended on Thursday with my thesis defence. I will be writing ielts next month, my question is, will my teaching experience pose a problem as against my profession as an accountant as i can only claim one year work experience in NOC 4031 though I have about 2 persons that can give me reference letter with dia company letter head. please I need advice.

I don't want to sound harsh, but my dear, you don't have the required experience to apply. You were teaching accounting as a Youth Corper and then an Accountant for 6 months. You need a minimum of 1 year under NOC 0, A or B

peppers:

Please which one is schedule A o?

@boss1313 i sent you a message please

I will check

So what you are basically saying is that at the time the chartered accountant who is a compliance officer was getting married, he ought to have filled compliance officer as profession on his marriage certificate and not accountant. I dont think the Visa officers are robots. They are human and i'm sure they think

But they are not suppose to think for you. You are supposed to clear out doubts. It is where they cannot understand your application, they request for additional
Documents

Gurus please assist with the below. I see @boss13 and @40manlappy are online.

You fall under NOC 1111

Yes you have to include all activities you have done in the last 10 years - education, employment and even if you were unemployed

Put jobs that you can't get reference letters for under the "personal history" section. Where you have gaps, put "Unemployed" there. Make sure there are no gaps!

You should be fine if you can get reference letter for your present position which is more than 3 years already.

Hello house,

Here is my scenario, for each section I uploaded all the documents related to it. Like for POF, I merged the bank statement, bank letter, gift deed etc as a document and uploaded.

Looking at some posts here and other sites, some mentioned they merged these documents with their LOE.

Which is preferred or more effective?

I know there's no one way to do this, but your thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation.

You did the right thing. Stick to that.
And if you have an loe, pls upload in LOE section, even though it concerns POF or education or employment.

Follow CIC's instruction. There is a reason they created the LOEs upload section.

If you have several LOE's, you can make separate letters and merge as one PDF or you simply write just one letter with different bullets/subjects to tackle the different issues.

Shallom!

4031 is under category A. One year experience under that NOC is valid for Express Entry as long as it isn't stated at Youth Service, but Work Experience.

Hello people, a very excellent job you all are doing here. I have been a silent follower and this is my first post. Firstly, I must share my testimony. Read here sometimes ago of someone thanking God that he stayed in the pool for less than 24hours, I quickly claimed it. To the glory of God, we FINALLY created our profile the night of the 30th of May and alas! ITA landed 31st May! Thanks to God almighty. Thank you all.

Now to my question, we have a challenge on proof of funds. Most of our monies is in a joint business account which we are both signatories. This account is very active with a monthly turnover of about 12M. Do we have to move the money to the Primary applicant or just use the business account as the POF account?

Boss13:


You have a problem here Oga! If you can rectify it, please do quickly. Your NOC must be consistent in all documents you submit.

Thanks for the info. I don't know if an Affidavit will do. What do you think?

Good to know Secondary School Teachers are top Skill experience. However, I am not so sure about Youth Service. I was looking at the 6 months accounting. If NYSC is considered as employment, good enough. I know periods, when one is a trainee is not considered as skilled work

Joint Business Account!!! In the name of the company or in your name? What kind of business? Do you work in the business?

Congratulations on your ITA

If he can get a reference letter that will cover the NYSC period (1 year), maybe he can claim Secondary School Teacher.

That will be good. On the other hand, I don't know if CIC is familiar with the Nigerian transition from Education to Employment process in Nigeria and the need for Mandatory 1-year service. I know a lot of applicants indicate this, but I don't know if they are aware.

I dont think the Visa officers are robots. They are human and i'm sure they think

He would have stated that he was a banker because he works in a bank. He is not a practising accountant, so why would he say he is an accountant, even though he has qualified as a chartered accountant.

He is a banker because he works in a bank; what does he do in the bank, he works in the compliance dept as a compliance officer. If he can rectify the problem, he should not hesitate at all

If they require Schedule A for your spouse, you will be contacted. I don't know if you are the P.A. If your spouse is P.A, better to submit to avoid delay. If it is you, you can proceed without submitting, you may not be asked. If it is necessary you will be contacted.

Thank you. Joint as in we are both signatories. The account has the business name. Its a Travel and Logistics Business.

Nysc is skilled work not trainee. Especially since u r been paid (no matter how small).
