It happens sometimes. There should be a separate placeholder for Additional document / LOE something like that. Try logging in with a different web browser, hopefully it will pop up (unless they have changed the system)

Mine didnt pop up too

What is your AOR? Because I wouldn't call my processing (March 7 AOR) as being done as a priority See people having less than 1 month processing

April 12o

gistwivkome:
Good morning house. Please I’m getting worried o. I requested for gcms notes through getgcms.com on April 23 and got it on May 4. 95 pages which showed that my VO is Ottawa. The reviewing officer recommended pass but I also noticed that file sharing was still pending (partner was US). I assumed was because of a visa denial I got in June 2017.
I requested for gcms notes again on May 16 through gcmsbuddy and I am yet to get a response.
I’m wondering why it’s taking this long. AOR is Feb 5.
Abi is it because I’m single?

Interesting. My VO is also Ottawa and I have a previous US visa refusal. Had they started your security and criminality checks?

Osaze007:


April 12o

April here that is at our backyard. Maybe wait until it hits the 2 months mark then order for your notes. Atleast if there is any red flag it will show.

For me criminality passed. Eligibility not started and information sharing with the US in progress. Security also not started and my AOR is January. Hoping the GCMS also triggers action

Ehen! Is it this yesterday's May you are referring to?

Newmum0615:

What institution is the PGD from? This is what matters

deesmama:
Naturally ahead..

waow!...so the famous @deesmama is an abusite.
Nice to officially meet you ma'am.


indeed we are naturally ahead, though in this PR journey, seems we are naturally BEHIND


pls i need help with transcript o...do you have any contact that helped processed yours?
how long did it take for ABU to respond and did you use courier service?

sorry for the barage of questions, I'm just stuck

Ethelia:

The placeholders have been generated for me since 29th of May (public hols that afforded me time to populate it carefully). Since then, I have logged in and out more than 4 times...No extra placeholder popped up.

BTW, I'm using chrome browser as suggested by a friend here..and I have upgraded my Internet...quite fast now!

I'll try again, if it didn't show...I'll put the LOE as cover page to the specific category (I doubt whether I ve more than 3 LOEs to submit anyways)

But where can I upload my upfront Schedule A along with my UK refusal notes if I eventually don't get the additional document placeholder?


It will all end in praise IJN!

Try Internet explorer/mozilla firefox. It also happened to me. For the Schedule A and refusal notes, maybe sneak them with your passport (after the passport pages )

Hello House,

I am here with a proposal to connect everyone in the 400-437 who are looking forward to get their education evaluation to two or more degrees through ACCA & CIMA. )

I agree, atleast you can consolidate the information in one place

AyubAlam:
Hello House,

I am here with a proposal to connect everyone in the 400-437 who are looking forward to get their education evaluation to two or more degrees through ACCA & CIMA. Do you guys think we can open up a different thread to connect all of us to be on the same page on the topic? or we can stay in this group and discuss in the midst of all the topic?

Anyway, if anyone of you reading this is taking ACCA this month, pls raise your hand. we are looking forward to your feedback from here on

Please I'm in. Maybe we should pm you so you could add us instead of having scattered discussions all over the thread. On the other hand, we will have to update the thread on our findings and outcomes in order to help persons who may be in the same situation in future.

I read a post on Quora this morning stating that what the Canadian government is actually after is the children of immigrants who they are sure will receive the best Canadian education and contribute to the economy of Canada in the future and not the parents. Might not be true but then worth knowing

Na wa o married people are the ones on priority

Of course. Thats why they are taking in this much immigrants in the first place. They have an aging population with low birth rates. Yes taking educated and qualified parents is good, but the children have a better chance of being integrated into the Canadian system as first generation Canadians of Immigrant parents. Such children are more likely to recognize Canada as their country of origin unlike adults that will still claim 'Nigerian-Canadian'

Ethelia:

Well.. they hadn’t started security checks but criminality checks had been completed. Status was passed. Eligibility: recommended passed, Info sharing with the Us: in progress.

AOR: May 7th
PPR: June 5th

Wow!!! A very big congratulations to you.

Hhhmmmm........ I don't even know how to start.

I give all glory to the almighty God, there surely is a God in heaven.

Towards the end of 2016, I looked at my kids n suddenly became scared for their future in this country. Spoke with my hubby n his reply was, "ki lawa fese bayi? Let's just be prayerful ". Hhhmmmm....... I don't think this man understands what I'm talking about. I lost hope for this country (sorry to say). We started praying " God, please have mercy on my family n do that which only u can do".

December 2016, I suddenly got a call from a family friend who I haven't spoken with for almost five years. He's a Canadian citizens based in Manitoba. He said n I quote
" se Nigeria to wa yen oti su e ni?"
I replied
"haaaa, oti su mi ooo but what can I do? "
Then he asked if I won't mind Canada n that was it ooooo
(really at that point, all I wanted was to leave this s******e of a country)

That same December, I applied for international passport. I didn't get it until January 2017

April 2017, I wrote ielts
LRWS: 7.5,7.5,6.5,7.5
Too low for direct Express Entry
Told me I have to go through PNP
What did I know? I was like anyhow, kin sa ti dey Canada.

So the journey to PNP started. Applied for Wes ECA n my transcript from OOU In May. OOU showed me pepper oooo didn't get transcript until August. To verify again took another one month.
Finally I got ECA n CxC evaluation in October 2017

Fast forward February 2018 after ITA we started looking for POF. Chai..... we suffer small ooooo I contemplated declining several times but my family friend was like if you decline, u are on ur own ooooo, he'll just take his hands of my application
Kamari!!! The struggle continued. Finally God helped us n we were able to sell off our landed property which led to bulk transfer of cash into our account.

Now na LOE we started to google how to write Loe n that was how I came across this wonderful thread with amazing people n large hearts (God bless u all) I copied my LOE from this thread can't remember the part n the name of the good person that posted it but it was in a tabular form. We prayed n fasted before we finally submitted our application im May 2018.

So house, here it is

Update on the free IELTS Training courtesy @bababode825:

While myself and @cmoney22222 wait for the response of our tutor, @bababode825, a whatsapp group has been created for this course. Whoever is interested should kindly PM his or her number to me or @cmoney22222. I'm not sure sharing a group link on the thread is allowed.

I hope I have not violated any of the rules of the thread.

About the IELTS Training:

I personally thank you two for your efforts towards making this possible.

I have sent you two PMs regarding this. @cmoney22222 promised he would confirm a venue we can use and feed us back. Kindly reply your PMs so that we can all exchange contacts and subsequently create a Whatsapp group or thread for easy and quicker communication and also in order not to derail the purpose of the thread.

I await your swift response.

gistwivkome:

Haaaa... now I’m officially worried.

Hian, nooooo don't be jor! I know many single people that have been processed on time while many married are still waiting for PPR months after AOR. I don't think there is any hard and fast rule about this.

That you are single now doesn't mean you won't marry and have kids na. I was just trying to explain the 'Canadian reasoning' based on what I've read online.

gistwivkome:

Well.. they hadn’t started security checks but criminality checks had been completed. Status was passed. Eligibility: recommended passed, Info sharing with the Us: in progress.

Okay. I think you are nearing completion very soon. I found the information sharing part on my notes and it has also been completed (didn't specify country though). So just security and criminality pending. It is well.

Fair point Some if us are young and able o

Good morning fam, please I want to go on my knees so you all can pray for me to think straight.

I have 9months NYSC experience as a secondary subject teacher. The school was a local private school. School paid me 15k cash so no bank statements except for payments from Government. I still have my original posting letter. I can get reference letter from the school and a copy of my request and acceptance letters. Will it be wise to claim points for this role?

I also have 3months experience as a Sure-p intern. I have all documents signed from sure-p and employer. I have the training certificate from sure-p. I also have Bank statements from ministry of finance for the duration. But again I was paid 10k cash by my employer as monthly stipend and my duties was that of HR. I will try to get a reference letter from them. Again will it be wise to claim points for this role?

I also have another 6months experience as marketing executive. I have employment letter, I have another letter stating all my job descriptions and work hours, and Bank statement for the duration. I don't know if I can get a reference because the company has folded up. But I'll try. Will it be wise to claim points for this role?

Adding these previous jobs will give me up to 3 years experience and will shoot my crs score to BTW 460-470 (with two or more certificates).

I have been calculating my points with just 1year+ experience and ignored previous roles because of the must be in one NOC and continuous clause and also the fact that they were small jobs I earned cash for but yesterday, I decided to look back.

Cc @all
