Applications differ from one another but based on my experience, ref letters do not expire. 4 of the 6 ref letters i used (yea had to merge alot to get the 3yrs max) were gotten since 2014 and i did not get any ADR. However i got them all after i had left the companies.
Getting the reference now,resignation letter, and LOE stating u needed to gather ur documents bfr leaving and travel documents showing when u left the country. Won't all these suffice? #Just thinking out loud#

Yes. AAT and ACA is recognised by WES. Go ahead and have it evaluated.

can see u got favourable evaluation for ican. and urs was old syllabus. finished mined 2013. will just access my AAT nd bsc ojare, all that matters is the extra 35 or so points from two or more degree. cancelled my iqas application going for wes now. no time

This may not be entirely true o. You cannot, i repeat...YOU CANNOT... claim Masters/Professional degree if it wasn't accessed as such. to my knowledge only IQAS evaluates LLB as a masters so if wes says its diploma and that's what you attached kindly edit your profile to indicate that its a diploma. Lawyers that evaluated their LLB and claimed masters did so with IQAS since it is evaluated as a Professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession,

the bolded is for your attention
Did u try ICES? Do u know any lawyer who did and they failed to equate it as a professional degree? Until that is established.. Even ICAS could recognize it as... Why are you copying and pasting?

Hi Threadstone . . . Good morning.

The thing is, with very high IELTS scores which I aim to get, I got a CRS of 441. When I take the test in Jan 18 in the US and get the projected score, I will dive into the pool immediately and I expect ITA should be out by Feb 18. I know all of these is not cast in stone, but when it's cast in stone this way, I want to think that I can use my work reference letter dated Dec 17, at Feb 18.

However, i buy into your views about the statement "employed till date" that will be quoted on the letter. As such, i will hold off on getting the letter now.

Abeg do you have that officer Moshood's number or do I just get to Alagbon and ask of Moshood?




threadstone:


The question is are you sure youre going to get an ITA within the next six months? What is your current crs estimate as you dont have ielts yet.
1 & 2 is possible to get but they have a time limit which shouldnt be more than three to six months to the day of submission else you'd have to procure another.

As for the pcc, you can get it in an hour or less. Officer Moshood has done Enough wonders for people in this thread.

Without sade further ado, i wish you good luck in your masters program. When you finish you can cross over to canada without visiting Nigeria sef.

Chill. Express entry can wait grin

I think you can go ahead and obtain the reference letter. Since every letter is dated, stating "employed till date" shouldn't be an issue because the statement will be true as at the time the letter was written. If the duration of the employment at the time it was written is sufficient to back the work experience you claimed points for, you're good.
What if a person gets sacked a week after obtaining a reference letter (which would have stated "till date"wink, does he go back to request another one?
IMO, this is even a non-issue.

Dear Family, I need your help ooo . . .

Firstly, I'm about leaving Nigeria for USA for a masters degree but I am very defiant to start my EE process. School resumes in Jan 3rd 2018, and I would leave before Dec 24th. Currently, my BSc school has dispatched my transcripts for evaluation. I couldnt do the IELTS in Nigeria because the earliest date is Jan 3rd or so . . . So I have to take the IELTS in USA.

Also, I am currently employed but will be resigning next week.

My question is this . . .

1. Is it advisable I procure my work reference letter now from my employers before I resign, so I can have it handy when submitting the application from the USA? Yes, its possible to get the employment letter even after I've resigned but I know I can speed things up and ensure there are no mistakes while i'm still in Nigeria, however, i'm worried that the date on the letter may be an issue for IRCC. Assuming I get ITA in Feb/Mar 2018, will my work reference letter dated Dec 2017 be a problem?

2. Since I will be leaving in the next two weeks, I have to get my PCC from Nigeria now. Will the date issue mentioned in (1) above also be a problem here?

3. How long does it take to get the PCC in Lagos and what are the steps to take?


Thank you all very much while anticipating your kind responses.

Choose your MSc or EE. Both won't work considering the fact you are just about to start d Msc

Hello guys and ladies, thank you all for the good work done on this forum. Iam planning on pursuing the PPR but i need some advice. I know a lot of questions have been answered in the previous threads but just needed some advice:

Am 28 years and single with only have a BSc. Am planning on doing IELTS in jan but according to the CRS calculator(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp?_ga=2.265805708.2012489208.1512627751-902555364.1512504714) even if i aced the test, the best i can hope for is 438 points.

But according to this page of previous rounds' results(https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/become-candidate/rounds-invitations/results-previous.html), it seems the cut off points have been dropping. Am seeing so many rounds with less than 450 as the cut off points unlike in 2016 where the cutoff was always above 450.

I've heard that the PNP that can raise my crs to above 450 is hard to get hence i dont want to sink money in the IELTS and EAC when my chances of getting the ITA are very slim. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

add more money to the card... They usually block at a higher rate initially when you make the payment. They'll debit you later a the appropriate rate for that day

Unless you're trying to get a loan from CIC, I don't see how this affects anything. Stop worrying already and submit joor.
On the other hand, try and do minimum payment or do a payment plan with them just so you're in the clear (for clean conscience sake).

Ultimately, the issues are not related in anyway.
Good luck!

2. I ve two kids and is planning to leave with them. Their dad is not coming along, at least not for now. I was hoping it wld be cheaper, cld I be mistaken? Will my husband's application fee as well as PR fee be paid even dow he isnt going? What about his medicals?

I also read dat parental permission will be required from d spouse not travelling. Does anyone know what dis requirement is all about?

I ve other issues but will leave that for later. Tx all in anticipation.
