Good day fams, pls does anyone have an earlier scheduled appointment for medicals either at Children practice or Q-life but would not be going anymore and willing to give out his/her appointment ? Please assist a brother if you can. Thank you

mcstan18:
Congratulations bro.

As a side note, it doesn't speak well of anyone to come to this forum, benefit immensely and then bow out with the kind of PPR announcements we've been seeing lately, this one in particular. PPR announcements have their own way of boosting badly battered morale of some people who visit this thread. Sometimes, all one would need to continue to fire on is a visit to the PPR section of page 1 but very few would read the kind of PPR testimonies we see these days and feel "gingered". I won't be surprised if you've also benefitted from those long narratives of happy people here.

We can do better guys.

Enter the pool ASAP, don't dull. If your score exceeds 440 you may be lucky. From the pool distribution following the last draw I have a strong feeling that the Cut-off will drop to 438/439 soon.

dumprep:
It depends on your CRS. If tomorrow’s cutoff is 440 and your CRS is above 440, you’ll get your ITA.
What’s your CRS?

Na joke I dey naa.

Interesting judicial appeal case A - on the need to balance submitting too little and too much information.

1. Here the applicant submitted only documents specified in the documents checklist, but was rejected because the case officer was not convinced by the reference letter. She appealed on the basis of procedural fairness, but the judge sided with CIC.

"[12] The Applicant relied on the Document Checklist for Permanent Residence in the Canadian Experience Class (“Checklist”) provided by CIC in submitting her application, expecting that, by complying with the Checklist, there would be no evidentiary issues...

...[14] This Court has further held that, while an applicant may be provided with a list of required documents by the agency accepting the application, the applicant is not limited to supplying only those documents (Qin v Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2002 FCT 815, [2002] FCJ No 1098 at para 7). Here, the Applicant was free to submit T4 tax information slips"

Hello Everyone! I want to first appreciate the effort of those taking their time to educate and answer questions asked. I am married to an officer in the army and we have one child. I am a freelance writer with a B.A in literature, his job makes him go all over the place so it's hard for the family to stay together even though we try. He plans to relocate us and after reading through this thread, I'm not sure if he is eligible to be the primary applicant? I do freelance so I have no work experience. Thanks

Very Short Post Alert

In another news!!!

Apologies this is coming late. It’s PPR!!!!

Started this journey in October 2017 after we made a decision to relocate.

IELTS showed me pepper as I had to take it three times:

1st - 10 February 2018 LRWS 6,8,8,7.5

2nd - 24 March 2018 LRWS 7.5,8,6.5,8, when I saw this result midnight of 6 April, I quickly registered for the following day’s test without much preparation.

3rd - 7 April 2018 LRWS 8.5,8.5,7,8. As a result of this third IELTS result, our CRS jumped to 450 from 3hundred and sth(don’t ask me questions ). I would say please don’t give up on this journey because I was almost losing confidence in myself after my second IELTS result as I rarely fail exams. I also got encouragement on this forum seeing some people gave (as our Indian brothers will say) IELTS up to 7 times and now in Canada. Hence, I had to quickly re-take the test to avoid losing momentum.

PPR 3 October 2018 at exactly 3:39am, can’t remember the seconds
No ADR
Family size 3
Ottawa VO

ECA - I used WES but those guys plus our regular naija strike stressed me Walahi; I sha got the completed report for spouse and myself after 6 months.

PCC - Got for U.K. and Nigeria. U.K PCC is pretty easy to get once you follow instructions on their site. For Nigeria PCC, used inspector Moshood for spouse and myself. He charged us N17,000 because we couldn’t go to Alagbon as all correspondence with him was via email. However, I sent a friend to pick the original certificates from him and scan to me. Contrary to what I have read here, I decided to exclude from my eApr the Alagbon stamped fingerprints papers accompanying the PCC because I felt it wasn’t relevant since CIC only requested for PCC; so I only uploaded the Police certificates with our application. Thank God there was no issue with it. Although, I wanted to take style avoid implicating myself as I was in the U.K. when I submitted my application and the procedure for getting fingerprints done was expensive for me and stressful; so I bought ink pad from one shop and did the stuff in my room, then scanned to inspector Moshood. I felt if I had included the fingerprints with my application, any inquisitive VO may flag that “how did he get PCC as the fingerprints were not certified or stamped by U.K. police &/or Nigeria High commission”. Just my thinking though.

POF - Hmmm, I had to patch this one o; I used Treasury bills from Stanbic as 55% of POF (didn’t include any bank statements), cash in Dom account with a foreign bank was 28% (only submitted stamped bank statements and a letter from the bank stating when the account was opened as I intentionally didn’t want to get the format letter requested by CIC because I have credit card debt with the bank which I wasn’t sure may affect my POF; God had mercy sha) while my PF was the remaining 17% of POF. I prayed o for them to consider this PF as it was my last resort and only hope at that time as I don’t have anybody that can gift me money. Can’t remember the last time I got money gift again, maybe childhood. As advised on this tread, I prepared a table for the POF and explained each, particularly the PF section, very well as I had initially withdrawn some voluntary contributions in 2017 and this reflected on the Pension statements. Had to let them know the withdrawn amount was a voluntary contribution and does not constitute part of the accessible 25% o before somebody will start running around for money way no loss upon ADR for the balance.

Work experience - got over 3 years work experience and getting reference letter was pretty easy. God bless my employer. Although, not necessary, I submitted work experience letter for my wife too since we had it readily available.

Medicals - Everything was fine for 3 of us other than the Dr recommending me for a further test because he sighted protein in my urine. God forbid!!! But thank God all was well after the further test although he still included protein something which my Jesus had taken away.

Travel history - just US and UK and no Visa refusal history

Criminal history - None by His grace other than childhood stealing of pencils and biros; and beating traffic lights in Lagos; which Nigeria PCC did not capture.

What again??

Ok lest I forget, I got 15 points for sibling in Canada �� so provided Copies of her PR card, utility bills within 3 months of eApr, marriage certificates and birth certificates showing names of both parents. I included sibling’s marriage certificate and newspaper publication for change of name as sibling is married and utility bill carries husband’s name.

My prayer for all still waiting for IELTS, ECA, ITA, POF and PPR is that it will surely come speedily in Jesus’ name. Amen

This thread is very informative and is got selfless people always willing to share. May God bless you all.

Final GCMS notes received. In less than 30 days. Wonder why the delay for some people's notes.

Just reading the way London was toasting me there "Both have good English and good education. PA has provided good docs and info consistent with that found online. No apparent concerns. Good funds". Eligibility passed.

Oshey London. Took you 6 months to say just

Thank you friend for your help. My contacts in Unilag finally said they have responded to the verification mail yesterday. However, I called WEs today and the customer care agent said they haven’t received the mail. I don’t know where the problem might be now because my contacts insist it went out yesterday. Any advice please
