Most people's points will be automatically deducted. @Bolded, was it before getting an Invitation to Apply?

Hi, thanks for your previous response. GS posted a comment she got from a forum that the your action is required thing is a technical glitch. I got no mail of ADR, no open link in the view submitted application both for express entry and permanent residence. The thing is that this 'your action is required is showing both for pr and express entry column. If I say I am not bothered eh na lie.
I sent them a mail, hoping to hear from them soon.
The only mail I got is update as regards the UCI I was given. BG is showing your application is in progress
Med has changed from you don't need to if you need. I pray it gets resolved soon.
Thanks

Birthday was April 4th, ITA was April 19th. Once you submit your profile to the pool, nothing will change automatically. It's your duty to ensure that info is up to date. If something changes, you have to update and resubmit.

I checked Canadavisa forum and realized that some people had the same issue too. Some people's points were automatically deducted while other people's points were not. I agree with you. An applicant must always ensure that his/her information is up-to-date.

Hello everyone �

I’m new here! Been following your threads for about 4 days before officially joining. Kudos to this platform and those assisting people on here.

I am one of those anxious few who have recently gotten their ITAs and are trying to make sure they get it right for a PR.

I would also like to ask questions and I’d appreciate a kind reply.

1) in relation to the POF (my major worry), I would like to create a Fixed deposit of about 1.5m with gtbank and my mum wants to gift me with about 2.3m. My major concern is, would the creation of the new fixed deposit raise a red flag? If that would be the case, what is the most advisable supporting document to attach to the new investment report? Secondly for the gift from my mum, what would be the best way to present proof of the gifted amount without further questioning from the CIC Official?

2) I had been denied a UK visa about 4 years ago. Is this likely to affect my application in anyway? And will they require further documentation for my other travel records?


Can someone please assist with these difficulties.

Thank you �

No.That was just example. I got newspaper proof for only change of surnames when I got married but my middle name changed too and I didn't refer to that

I am actually talking from personal experience so I know so. I got an ITA which I had to reject because my birthday had just passed and my score was not automatically reduced. You have to manually update the date of birth field (like refreshing)before your score is recalculated.

Meanwhile, fun fact. The majority express entry applicants come from India. Nigeria, on the other hand, is rather well represented. There was an increase of over 900% in applications from Nigeria from 2015 to 2016. We could be seeing an even bigger increase by the end of this year. And to think there were people from France too!

Can't wait to see 2017 figures. Na bomb! CIC should also be ready to employ more VOs for 2018 work o..., because ALL my siblings, and Hubby's siblings are turning in their applications next year plus interested friends and colleagues. If u see d way I market this Canadian PR, you will think CIC is my employer and like I'm on a kind of marketing target to bring in customers.

Consequently, scores will rise like soaked garri. Let me know which score address I belong to first by Friday, so as to channel my ITA visitation prayers well

cochtrane:


Welcome to the thread!

1. Attach your bank statement to your POF. That should sort your worry about creation of the fixed deposit. For the gift from your mum, use a gift deed to take care of that. Check here for details on gift deed and for templates you can use.

2. A previous visa denial will not affect your application. Just make sure to answer "Yes" under the question requesting this information while submitting your application. You may also have to provide the reason you were issued a denial. It doesn't affect your application anyways. Since it's a UK denial, you may end up with the dreaded London Visa Office. Nothing to be scared of; just put together tight documentation under travel history.

Wish you the best.

Good Morning All.

May we all have a great day.

Please assist me with this enquiry.

My document had been sent to my School for Verification.

However, My School is saying I shall pay N20, 000 to verify both Certificate and transcript.

Please, Does the certificate need to also be verified or only transcript.

Kindly help.

Thank you

Thanks so much Cochtrane for this information, but with regards to the bank statement to be attached to the POF, the only bank statement I currently have with an average inflow is my company account. I don’t have a personal one I use actively. Is it very necessary to attach the bank statement? Or can something else be attached. A letter of explanation maybe?

Secondly please what do you mean by tight documentation under travel history?

Thanks
