Keep such questions private don't come to this public forum asking such questions. It keeps giving Nigeria a bad name. Understand y they're talking the way they r.

Ethelia:
She runs a huge risk of having her application refused if she submits the application without passports for her kids. That is too important a document not to have.

@Dewys1 , ultimately the choice is yours, but if your score is around/above 440 I'd say decline on the last day if the passport is still not out

luffyhaki:
But wait o, if you don't decline, wont it decline for you automatically?

mcstan18:


You know why I said so ehn, it's fresh in my memory. A former colleague of mine had this same issue with the Festac passport office and submitted his application a day to the deadline but included an LoE with the completed and stamped application form as proof, stating that his 3 year old son's passport was undergoing processing. The passport came out 29 days after submission, they went for medicals, raised a CSE and uploaded. He's on IP2 or so now, got his notes last weekend and everything seemed okay.

This might be a way out for Dewys1 especially if his/her CRS score has been depleted since he/she got the ITA. That was the condition I stated ab initio. Where the CRS score is still healthy enough to secure another ITA soon, declining this one wouldn't hurt.

Hello everyone,
I am at the reference letter gathering stage, My NOC is 1221 Admin officers as my job suties fits this. However, on the CIC site, i found this clause(The Bolded) in the employers requirement for this NOC

fizzile:
I just hope there is someone else with the moniker fizzel and not myself. If such was referring to me, then you need to be a little bit careful with your ulterances and grow up. I've never had issues with newmum, neither was i active in the past 48hrs. Hopefully there is a fizzel that registered in May and not me. The way things are going here, it seems people just involve themselves in matters that do not concern them. If you feel you cant accord one some polite responses, why not just pass the post? Rather people just make comments as if we are toddlers. Probably thats all we get from a faceless group....all because of some info.

Newmum0615:
I typed a more elaborate response before, but somehow it disappeared with the network. No strength to type again.

mcstan18:


Yes it would, and also terminate the profile. The applicant would have to create a new profile from scratch to enter the pool again. If you decline yourself, you get back in the pool, nothing changes

mcstan18:


That error message on Nairaland new post has a way of messing one's effort up especially when you're typing on a laptop. I guess that was what happened to you

smslive2:
Whenever you get such error messag, DO NOT refresh, just press the back button and your messages would still be there!

mcstan18:


Oya, it have do. Apologies to you on behalf of everyone.

By the way, let me do aproko. Are you and Fresty married/dating/courting or something? The way you two do PDA here ehn, I like it small.

It's PPR guys, see timeline below;

CRS: 463
ITA: Jan. 24, 2018
AOR: April 4, 2018
MEP: April 12, 2018
IP1: April 12, 2018
ADR: May 10, 2018 (for new passport, as previous passport was due for expiry in 9 months)
ADR Sent: May 18, 2018

Ghost Update: June 25, 2018
PPR: June 27, 2018
VO: Ottawa

Just a brief highlight:

POF - Gift Deed (64%), while a fixed deposit account was opened with the entire POF. I got a reference letter from GTBank (thanks to my account officer whom I have never met, I simply sent a mail to her requesting the letter in IRCC format) and then added it to the fixed deposit certificate, as well as evidence of gift transfer, and a reference letter and statement from my PFA.

ECA - I made a mistake earlier which turned out to be in my favour, did my ECA with WES in October 2017 and friends advised it should have been with PEBC, but coming here I learnt if my NOC wasn't 3131 then I'm good to go with WES. My advise to pharmacists with only BPharm degree, please use PEBC (irrespective of your NOC) to gain points for professional degree.

IELTS - As per IELTS, I didn't find it easy at all. Listening humbled me big time but in all I give thanks to God and my lovely wife for her unflinching encouragement, her question after every attempt was "so babe when are you registering again?" , giving up was never part of our options. My attempts below;

Aug. 2017 - 1st Attempt: L6.5, R6.0, W6.5, S7.5
Sep. 2017 - 2nd Attempt: L7.5, R7.5, W7.0, S7.5
Oct. 2017 - 3rd Attempt: L7.0, R7.0, W7.0, S7.5
Dec. 2017 - 4th Attempt: L7.0, R7.0, W7.0, S8.0
Jan. 2018 - 5th Attempt: L9.0, R7.0, W7.0, S8.0

Special salute to @GlitteringStar, @Newmum0615, @Ethelia, @mcstan18 and other e-folks here for the amazing and altruistic assistance you guys are rendering. It will surely end in praise for all!

Congratulations and may the Maple land favour you and all yours.

Could you please give further details about your POF.

1) How close to your submission date did you get your gift deed and fixed deposit certificate?

2) When you mentioned "evidence of gift transfer". Did you include your SOA showing the transfer of the gift or you only used a Deed of gift?

Thank you and regards to your Super Woman.

IFEAGO:
1. Got the gift a week before I fixed it, the fixed deposit account was opened a week before I submitted my application.

2. Evidence of transfer I used was the email alert from GTBank, I didn't submit statement of account. I also submitted a notarized gift deed.

Thank you.

Paddy meee, go ahead with WES from what Enitan just said from his personal experience, so long you ask them to evaluate both degrees( diploma and Bsc). Also ensure you furnished them with both transcripts.
You shall be fine.

mcstan18:


I think you should go ahead and submit your application if/when it is obvious that the passports wouldn't be ready before submission deadline. Raise a CSE to add them when they're ready. Do not let this pus you into declining this ITA, especially if your CRS score has dropped (below 440) since you got your ITA.
