Happy Sunday All,

I plan going for medicals this week in portharcourt but I can't find the hospital on CIC website. In fact, nothing is showing on the drop down where you select the country. I wanted to get their number and call them before going.

Please has anyone done medicals in portharcourt? What is their procedure and what should we go with? Please help

QSola:


Your transcripts can be sent either by mail or e-mail. If by e-mail it must be sent through the school's official email address not your personal/a lecturer's email address because it is going to be rejected. If you are sending two or more certificates then each certificate is billed separately $200 each making $400. Courier charges is $70 since there is no room for soft copy. Flee away from standard mail.

Please how long did the evaluation take?

According to the website it takes 8weeks from the day your transcript gets to them. But most times you get your report in less than 4 weeks.

Good morning, just a little Monday motivation for we that are waiting for IELTS, ECA, ITA, PPR et all,

I applied for my WES evaluation on 18th Dec, 2017, had my transcript sent in Jan, but WES contacted me after two weeks, that the third year of my study was not included. what after N22,000? I got upset and called my contact in the school, they had to re-initiate the whole process as instructed by WES, and sent by 2nd week in Feb.

WES sent for verification 21st Feb, and i started pursuing the school contact( given to me by Newmum kiss) again, but the officer to do verification was sick, and i got stuck, i just decided to forget about it and pray.

Fast forward to yesterday, i decided to check my account after discussing with Newmum (God bless your good soul kiss kiss for all the off camera assists and advice, i think i can afford a bottle of cold stout for you whenever we meet) on some issues, and my ECA was sitting pretty!!! they didn't even chill for the verification, am like what?? shocked shocked shocked shocked this can only be God oh,please help me thank God o, i know this is no PPR but its a timely encouragement for me.

Its Cocaine village(it had an enduring history with coke) and not cocaine estate.

If you are coming from Rumuola, enter a bus or taxi and stop at Genesis bustop and then cross over to the opposite side of the road.

Directly opposite the Genesis bustop is the entrance to the estate, you will see a police post at the entrance into the estate. You will have to drive(walk) all the way down the straight road until you get to a T-junction, immediately pass the T-junction, the next turn to your right is the Hospital.

If you are coming from Eleme Junction, you will have to stop at the Genesis (Land Mark: Artillery is the stop before it). When you drop off, behind you is the entrance to the estate, you will even see a police post at the entrance into the estate. You will have to drive(walk) all the way down the straight road until you get to a T-junction, immediately pass the T-junction, the next turn to your right is the Hospital.

Congratulations to you and others who aced thier IELTS.

I would know like to know if you guys observed as I did that this time around IELTS results are generally good for people compared to that of last month of February. Does it mean that sometimes the IELTS questions may be easy while it may be difficult at other times? Or could it be that some markers are more strict than others. Whichever is the case, the caring Lord of mercy please help me conquer my second IELTS coming next month and make it favorably my last attempt. Amen!!!

It shall end in praise.


Truth is sometimes its just luck.. For me I don't like T/F/NG questions bt those where the ones that majorly came out in my reading section. I thank God I did good in it though... So its jst luck the kinda question you meet that's why in the end its a subjective way to test ones English command. Then I don't think results were generally good.. For most of my friends, they had issues mainly in writing, scoring 6 or 6.5.. So I wouldn't say it was generally easy compared to Feb.. Though i do not know how Feb result went generally.

Hello conebeam, Don't decline the ITA just yet. If you still have strong doubts raise a CSE and wait for their response. I think you shouldn't decline just because of an issue that can be solved. Go ahead and prepare your documents so that when you get a response you can put in your application.
conebeam:
Thanks so much for the suggestions.
I filled in correct details for the application, but it was rounded up as 3yrs. But in the real sense it's 33months. Which makes a score of 450 rather than 475. If I decline ITA alone I ll still have 475, which is meant to be 450.


Thank you all.

Can she speak french better than English? because even with an M.A in french, she has probably being speaking English far longer than she has being speaking French and has a better mastery of English Language. Is she the primary applicant and wants to write 2 language exams to boost her CRS? Whether or not TEF is written in your state is another issue you should consider to avoid extra cost that you would spend if she has to travel to write TEF. TEF is also more expensive than IELTS.
tsadoemmanuel:
Good day friends.

I have written IELTS and it was a success and my spouse wants to write TEF as she holds MASTERS OF ARTS(M.A) IN FRENCH.

Please, my question is... Should she proceed with the TEF or she should go for IELTS?[/b]

CSE? How soon will they Respond? What will their likely response be?

I will decline ITA and wait for the next draw.

CIC needs to make provision for filling dates while filling EE profile, and there should be the option of just 2yrs in the Come to Canada tool.

Thank you everyone again,.

You will get the soft copy of the report once completed, so there may be no need to pay the $85 for tracking. You can just use the $7 standard delivery. Your choice though.

Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program-Connect Here Part 3 by 4Barr: 12:12pm On Mar 19, 2018

Ok, we are waiting...patiently.

Long Post Alert.

The Beginning
When I started this journey in 2013 I applied for Study Visa and was refused based on the fact that the Visa officer thought I was unable to prove the source of the funds I was using as Proof of Funds. I was a little naïve in the visa application process at the time and although I applied myself, I tidied the application to the best of my knowledge but we all know that these visa officers do their best to weed people out based on any available excuse. Fast forward to 2014 I re-applied again this time with a better story and tuition paid upfront and was again rejected on the basis that I was unable to prove that I had sufficient funds to pay for tuition and survive without working in Canada. I was infuriated wondering where the visa officer left his glasses being that I had paid the tuition in full and attached the relevant receipts. Of course, I appealed, and nothing was done so I retained the services of an Immigration Lawyer I once met at a conference, did an affidavit and forwarded to him to appeal on my behalf. To cut the long story short I won and was later issued the visa, but I never travelled with the study visa, I guess the delay made me realise that I really didn’t want to travel on a student visa and as a single man.

IELTS
I joined the express entry thread in July 2017 after I enrolled for IELTS, for those still writing IELTS I believe the secret to acing it is to determine your strengths and weaknesses. For me, I didn’t have to practice Speaking, writing and Reading; they came to me naturally, but the listening bit was the mountain to surmount as I had to write it twice. Spend more time on the modules you are not naturally attracted to and work on areas of improvement. Some will require one week to practice depending on the areas of improvement while others may not get a grip of it until after a month.

ECA
I did my ECA with IQAS to get the equivalent of a master’s degree or Professional Degree needed to practice in a licensed profession. I advise lawyers without a master’s degree to use IQAs to evaluate their credentials (LLB Only) it will surely be worth it. Lawyers with a master’s Degree (especially foreign Masters) can use WES since WES is faster and you will bag points for master’s degree anyways.

Work Experience/Reference Letter
I worked with different Law firms before joining the company I currently work for and even though I could have claimed points with them I decided to use just my current employment of 2years to make my application simple and save me the stress of disturbing every past employer for reference. I got the reference letter exactly in CIC’s format and signed by both the HR Manager & Executive Director. I only attached one month’s Pay slip.

POF
The initial POF I submitted includes the following;
-Money Market Statement from the Financial Institution where I keep money and cover letter
- GTB Savings Account Statement & Cover letter.
- Insurance Savings Statement stating I have access to the money if I don’t make any claim.
- Pension RSA Statement & Cover letter in CIC format – I also attached the relevant section of the PRA 2014.
When I added Spouse, I got ADR for Proof of Funds stating that I did not meet the required low-income cut-off of 13,000 CAD and that I should update the POF and respond within two weeks. I was wondering how they came to that conclusion so I simplified by getting another statement of account from the respective Financial Institutions totaling 19,000 CAD (enough for three) and I also attached a screenshot of CIC page on Proof of Fund requirement and a snapshot of the current exchange rate on oanda.xe, I uploaded this within four hours of receiving the ADR.

Raising CSEs, Requesting GCMS Notes & Application Enquires
It is my opinion that each candidate should avoid anything that will delay their application at the Central Intake Office> the faster you can get transferred to a Local Visa Office, the better. I have observed that most people with delayed files at LVO actually spent a lot of time at the CIO but when they quote their post AOR timeline they will include the number of days also spent on the application before it got to LVO. It is apparent that candidates with previous visa refusals or ties to the US or UK will mostly end up at London (exceptions exist anyways) so I think it is important that we avoid any form of delay at CIO stage and ensure that the application is water tight before submitting. It’s not about the first to get AOR because some people applied after October and got PPR within a month. It is also not advisable to request for GCMS notes pre-Na2 being that the application is probably at its infant stage except you have serious doubts about some crucial aspects of your application which may be examined at the Central Intake Office. Keeping application enquiries to the barest minimum is also a good practice, I noticed that my visa officer responds to me promptly whenever I send email enquiries, this is probably because I don’t send mails every time. LVO candidates will understand the need to send constant enquiries especially if EXP is your guy.

Adding Spouse to Your Application
It is an established process that you can add your spouse after you’ve submitted your application, and this is arguably the best way you can ease the application stress off your spouse. As already discussed on this thread by others when you add your spouse post-AOR, he /she will not need to write IELTS, evaluate their credentials or claim work experience; it’s basically a jolly ride for them however this will not apply to couples that are already married, if you got married and your marriage certificate pre-dates your ITA/AOR date and you claimed single, that is automatic refusal and ban for misrepresentation. For intending couples that have strong points individually, apply as a single candidate and like others will say, “allow small breeze to blow on your application” then you can add your spouse. “Small Breeze” in my opinion should be after NA2 or when you are at the local visa office, they will cross-check your application anyways, so I think it’s better you don’t delay yourself at CIO by adding your spouse too early. I also believe that the stage you add your spouse will also determine the kind of questions and Additional documents that the visa officer will request from you. As for me, the Spouse ADR I got never included the usual honeymoon pictures, wedding rites pictures, hall receipt or filling a questionnaire. I basically sent them Schedule A, IMM008, Additional Family info, Spouse Medicals, Passport, PCC, Passport Photos and RPRF. In addition, they requested for the documents by email so I never had to upload anything on myCIC account.

GCMS Notes
Four Months Post-AOR and application has been on IP2 for almost a month, so I requested for GCMS notes on February 26 (yet to receive it). The GCMS request prompted the agent to work on my application as I noticed that my CIC account was updated twice but the application timeline remained the same. I noticed this trend for two other candidates on a WhatsApp group so if your application has been pending for a while (a while is a very relative word so be guided) go ahead and request for the notes, it may just work for you too.

PPR Mail
PPR mail showed up on March 15 directly in myCIC account. I checked my application EVERYDAY (even on weekends) for the entire 140days post-AOR but the day it came I was away, so I couldn’t check until I got the email alert on my phone. I had thought it was another ADR as both ADR and PPR mails are always titled ‘Request Letter” on the CIC account. My advice for LVO candidates especially, is to get a life and avoid any form of expectation that the PPR is going to come soon. Get busy doing something and don’t plan around the time you will travel because LVO will surely take its time. My expectation was to receive PPR latest in December 2017, but it came Three months later so its best to get busy with something else while waiting. However, without prejudice to the foregoing, no matter how long your application has taken with a visa office, one thing is certain, you will surely get your PPR as long as you meet the requirements, and nothing is misrepresented in your application.
