Massive congratulations, your study for ielts inspired me and I'm even more determined to see this through!

Some highlights of my application includes;
1. My POF = T-Bills(3months) + Generic Bank Ref Letter + 6months SOA + Gift of deed (100% amount from direct family). My total POF is in the T-Bills, explained this in my LOE.
2. Proof of employment = Reference letter (included NYSC experience) + Pay stubs.
3. There was a mistake in my spouse's name on our daughter's birthday cerficate, so I attached an affidavit (confirmation of name) together with the document to clarify this. Also explained this in my LOE.
4. Educational documents= Degree certificates + WES. I didn't include IELTS certificate although I registered the certificate number somewhere else in my application.
5. My spouse hasn't officially changed her name so I submitted our application with her maiden name. Our marriage certificate was enough proof I guess.
6. Passport photos = We took our final printed photos (50x70mm) from "Study 24" ahead of time. I scanned and resized it to the required specification (35x45mm) (using MS software) and used it for Post ITA submission.
That's all I can remember off the top of my head and I hope it helps.
Thanks to everyone that has ever communicated on this thread (names too numerous to list), it was very helpful!
For those still hoping for better IELTS scores, please try again and give it all you have this time.
For those still expecting the silver mail, please be very hopeful. Try to improve your CRS, while in the pool if you need to.
For those still anticipating towards receiving the golden mail, it will certainly come!
I'm wishing everyone here the very best and remember it will end in praise!

For submitting POF, how recent can the statement of account be? Can it be as old as 2-3 months? Also is there a significant risk if the account balance drops below the required minimum after the AOR stage?

I think the rule (presumed, for me) is to submit most of your documents fresh, as e de hot . 2-3 months is a long long long time. Plenty things could have happened within that period, your closing balance now will most likely not be what that statement reads, could be significantly lesser or higher. Why not just do another when you're close to submitting, 2-3 weeks still fair but 2-3months is a push for me.

On the other question, some school of thought will say don't touch your POF till you get PPR (some even as far as till you land) but me, I belong to the other party that thinks a snake can swallow part of it as long as that snake will vomit it within a reasonable short time. Then monkey sef will follow swallow again, vomit too in a short time... The animals in the zoo can keep at it like that like that.

GlitteringStar:



Submit the letter in CIC's format (see attached), add bank statement/pay slips if available and you are good to go.

Kontagious:
Congrats dtush, Lucious477, Abbylee( on fiancé behalf, yours sef don reach finish)... And all ITA choppers.

Hi All,

Please I want to clarify something;
When submitting TB and mutual funds letter as proof of funds, do I still need to include bank statement?

Dozi05:
Please house whats the minimum amount you need in your account for a family of four as proof of funds

Sandydav:
1.Yes, you have to pay first cause you need the Wes Ref number for the transcript
2. I think you need a credit card and not a debit card(Iqas experience) i had to get a credit card from Gtbank

jholarharde:

thanks so much, but I don't have pay slip either because our salary is paid in cash

Newmum0615:
Why can't you change the field? Drop down and change the country to Nigeria, the field for province will disappear and then you can enter the details of the address tied to your Gtbank account. You should be fine. Except there is something else that's wrong.

Chrisjordan2015:


Thanks for the reply. The issue i have is that i did a payment for my brother and it went through. No hassles.

However i did in fact get a reference number in my email when i filled it the first time without payment. When i wanted to pay, it told me payment was successful and debited my account. My wes profile said to wait for 15 mins. But after over an hour now its saying that i havent paid in my profile.

smslive2:
There is no need for panic just yet, give it some more time and if its still giving same message, send them a message, if your account have been truly debited, they will sort it out

Guitarlife:
Hello Team, please I have got some enquiries. I tend to worry myself more than necessary often for needless things so do not be pissed if my question sounds dumb.

While filling the come to Canada tool prior to obtaining the reference number(GC key) that was used to create the express entry profile, I suspect I inputted a wrong answer mistakenly at the point I was asked if I had canadian work experience[YES] which ofcourse I do not have.

I am quite worried and would love to confirm my answer before submitting the profile is there a way to go about this ?

Thanks for your responses.
