I'll like to go back to school at some point in Canada but will I still need proof of English if I'm already a permanent resident? If yes, then, I think it's a good idea to actually change it.

Yes, most post gr programmes require a proof of English(Academic ielts/toefl etc)
even if u are already a PR....even licensing bodies (for those in regulated professions) often require this.
So yea, maybe u shld change it if u can.

I plan on writing Academic ielts sef.

Hello all
Am new to this thread and just reading some of the post has proven to add alot of underatanding to the process. God bless u

Pls i will like to ask a few questions just for clarity and would be grateful for answers
1. Since 2015 i have stayed in the UK for about 3months and when i went to america i stayed for another 3months and that was in 2016. Does it mean i have to get pcc from these countries since my travel history will show it?

2. My brother who is also trying out the immigration thingy has been in america for more than they stamped him in? Pls how does this affect his application and probability of selection. Also is it better for him to come back to nigeria so his passport shows he is back?...

Pls i will appreciate every imput i get on these pudding issues
God bless

Hi Ronnie,

No 1 question has been adequately answered.

About question 2, i know that the US does not take over stay likely. Though its not a federal crime, its however considered a civil offense and is grounds for inadmissibility into the US in future. He will definitely be needing the dreaded FBI PCC and with his situation one cant say exactly what the outcome will be.

Congrats to all ITA recipients.
Pls endeavour to tidy ur app wella b4 submission.
As u go along filling d profile, come and ask our seniors here to clarify grey areas.....
be proactive without going overboard.....by providing LOE + supporting docx
be diligent and completely transparent.
Check,recheck,crosscheck,double-check and do it all over again b4 u click on submit.
be positive and expectant after submission.
After u submit, pls dont go into hibernation cos newer ITA recipients would need your help.
start making post ppr plan.......no be like some of us who waited till ppr to plan nxt waka.

To others, pls if u are not absolutely sure of ur answers....indicate it in your comment..so that we dont unintentionally misguide others.
you can post links for d points stated.

Cheers.

@yooku.. I replied your pm but it came back as an error..dont know how to work this pm thingy

There is no risk with using ONLY TBs as POF since it's an acceptable proof of fund as per IRCC guidelines.

Mine was about 99.9% and there were no issues. The account balances were insignificant.

cc: CAstruggle

NB: I am not in any way endorsing placement of funds in treasury bill (TB) just before/immediately after ITA in order to present it as POF without needing a bank statement or other supporting documents.

TBs, bank statements, etc, have proven to be tested alternatives to IRCC's standard requirement for POF which is an official letter from a bank or financial institution.

I had the TBs in question for over 6 months but still provided bank statements to show the source. Also used LOE to make it easy for the VO to understand the statements. This is just to clarify my previous post so that it won't be quoted out of context or misunderstood.

cc: Ehrnie, CAstruggle

Goodevening pple. Long post alert!!!!
Please I need some help:
1. Hope I can get reference letter prior to ITA (as am not yet in the pool sef). I left organization some yrs bak so wanted to start early but surprisingly they were swift.

2. Organisation did not give me reference letter in exact same format. They letter seemed a bit complicated and they aren't forth coming with correcting/simplifying it. Let me explain: I served with dem as a marketer and was retained also as a marketer for 3 yrs. So wanted the entire 4 years reference(I ran a masters programme while working so incase the masters yrs is assumed as part time, the 4 yrs will still make up 3 yrs max point fr me). Now they wrote; Nysc marketer 2008 to 2009.
Account officer 2009 to 2012, team member commercial banking 2012 to 2013.
All the above job titles are exactly same in the bank, they would have jst written marketer or acct officer in all rather Dan separating it to seem like diff job functions in same organization.
Den on job functions dey wrote " account officer/team member commercial banking" (den listed all the job function) they did not incluse the marketer (job title the letter gave me for NYSC. Even though all of the job titles are same with exactly same function, VO might not knw this and may assume they shuld represent different NOC. They also did not include my salary for the service year.
Meanwhile my 2 supervisors then have resigned with the bank so can't get any to write me a supporting reference with his complimentary card.
Can I write an LOE and perhaps attach the statement where I was paid salary for the nysc job. Won't the VO believe that there must be something different about the job titles to warrant the employer list all 3 of them it at different times dt i worked wt the bank.
I have called the guy that prepared the letter to save me all the stress by just capturing one job title to avoid confusion since we both knw that dey are exactly same but unfortunately he is adamant.
Kindly advice me

Most likely means you are in NA2 stage... If you have medicals passed already.

Good morning,

What does it mean when your Background check status changes to "Not Applicable"?

cc @freeradical @40manlappy, @ugoiyke, @esosa4real @boldinc @onlineise @dupyshoo

You have to scan all pages with stamps on your passport... They would easily determine all the places you have been to and how long. Can't be hidden.

nkigirl:
Even if there are stamps on his passport, are you required to scan every single page of your passport. All 32/64 pages?

Please this is really important. We are not trying to be fraudulent. But if we can omit this info, it's better.

If you believe this, you shouldn't advice anyone to get PCC for countries visited for a cumulative of 4 months... CIC simply requires 6 months and above..

freeradical:
@ Bolded: You are so right Wura27. We must endeavour to keep our application simple. No need to write LOE for what isn't asked for. LOEs are only to explain weak aspects of your application. Example of where one needs a LOE may include; name issues, source of lodgements to your POF, discrepancies amongst your documents (like case of different occupation in marriage cert and other docs) etc

Thanks. My plan is to present my TB, plus SOA and letter of explanation. I only wanted to know what percentage of my funds i could have as TBs from persons whom have used TBs as POF. I really dont want the money dormant anymore in my account. Still expecting my IELTS and WES results in by next week.

I appreciate all your response. Thanks for the clarification.

No... She is not still in line. The draw for her ITA was 441. That would be the reference.

XX01:


The last draw was 433 so she is still in line.

Move it to personal history

yimiton:
Thanks for taking your time to give us such detailed advice. I am taking it to heart.

I'm filling my form already and I didn't assess my first degree. Should I include it in the place provided for personal history or for study history, being that I don't have an ECA for it?

Thanks again!

I think it's best your husband sends the balance to your account, cos when you add him to your application, CIC will request for an updated POF for 2... You can add an LOE stating he transferred the money to you to complete the POF.

Olamidexy:
Hello house, kindly help me with this question. I already have AOR and I am about to get married so I need to update my application. I provided enough POF for one, my husband has the balance required for two people but the money is barely one month old and the inflow was a bulk inflow into his account. Can he just invest it in tbills now and I just attach the tbills letter alone as the balance in my CSE to avoid printing his statement or do I have to attach all the POF documents I initially attached with my application along with his tbills letter.

Please I also need to know if there will be any issue with the balance funds amount not being up to 6 months. Hopefully we can avoid the issues of preparing a gift deed to explain the inflow because I also did a gift deed for an inflow into my account when I submitted. Thanks

MRSDA:

I meant we got invited by Ontario to apply for nomination, but we did not..

Please I want to know,
Do you pay to apply for provincial nomination program?

freeradical:
You will need to write an application to your bank for the letter of reference. Just follow the std formal letter format copying all the requirements for POF doc from CIC page and present it in the body of your letter to your bank. That's just what I did and it worked.

Hello Freeradical, how are you? I PMed you but cannot reply to your PM. The mail keeps bouncing back

Oh really? Does it mean that the husband can fund upto 90% of the required POF and deposit as a lump sum into the PA (spouse) account?

Sure... that shouldn't be a problem.

Longest time bro and welcome back!

It's nice to read from you again. Thanks for your kinds words and God bless!

oh!thanks very plenty.will surely keep in touch.

Good day everyone, this is a nice thread and have been following and reading.

Please I wish to submit my EOI this September, but before I proceeded, I need to know where I stand.

1)- I have six years work experience which I gained after my ND in Engineering and I did my HND while working, after my HND, I got a managerial position which is less than a year, what's my Chance with NOC?

2) I have a fiancé, we're not married yet as we don't want to spend money on wedding for now. I wish to process my application with her.
Can i submit my EOI with her has my COMMON LAW PARTNER, and if i get ITA, we'll do a court wedding. What are my chances about that? Wanted her to do IELTS and ECA

3) am yet to do my ECA, i heard IQAS is cheaper, which would you guys advise? WES or IQAS? I had my ND in another school.different from my HND. I don't mind the delay in time, i am after gaining a good CRS score and spending minimal.

4) POF, what are my options on getting POF, my salary account has a constant flow of monthly salary, but i do invest in lanes property so no huge savings, can i USE my RSA statement of Account? What if i sell my landed property and do a lump sum lodgement, won't that trigger an alarm?

Please i need detailed response on this before i proceed with my application.
Thanks @all

Hi,

Mehn this post is rather long! Surprised you are writing to complain about it here when you should be complaining to your bank HR.

I've worked with 3 banks and used all 3 as work reference. I did not have any trouble with any of them, most bank HRs have written letter to CIC for their staff so they are usually helpful.

All 3 banks asked me to write my job roles and responsibilities and send to them.

Don't talk to one HR staff, send a mail to your HR group. Do u mind telling the bank? Might be one of the ones I've worked with....
