Congratulations @ daicee.

I submitted through VFS on Friday

Hello @Zeiya, congratulations on your ppr.
Did you fill the IMM008 form or you submitted your passports without it?
If you did fill it, pls can you possibly send a copy of the form? It didn't come with my ppr mail.

I intend to fill it, even though there's been no change in my family configuration.

As for the vfs consent form, did you use pen to fill it or it was typed? The form is not editable for me, so I'm not able to type in the required details on it.

I am submitting on tomorrow

Pls other seniors in the house, kindly help too.
Thank you

Very likely.
If your MSc is not foreign, I'll advice you do ICES. Save yourself the hassles of WAEC and degree verification.


does foreign masters require waec cert?

Yes please. You are absolutely correct. A group of us combined and sent the scratch cards directly to WES ourselves through the FedEx at WAEC office.
Cheers.

Correct me please, is this scratch card in place of confirmation email from WAEC? Cause I believe that's what's delaying my assessment. And is there any other group I can join?

Hello house.

Please I have a question for those that used ICES. I have registered my profile using my personal address. But on the second thought, I want to use a Canadian address to save cost and for faster process.

The problem now is, it's seems my profile information is locked. Is there a way I can edit my address.
I would appreciate a quick response. Thank you

OR

Can I just go ahead with payment and the evaluation, hoping I'll be able to change ECA delivery address later on during the application.

CIC website states reference letter and payslip (if available)but reference letter is mandatory.appointment letters and other documents comes to play when one cannot get a reference letter or a reference letter in d required format.so if your payslip isn't available,by all means submit a reference letter in d required format.

Below was how I handled the matter during my time.

1. IMM0008 - I didn't fill because there hasn't been any change in the composition of my family.

Yes, IMM008 wont come with the PPR letter, you can always download it free from www.canada.ca (just search the website for it). Most often than not, most federal forms like IMM008 are editable, so you may be able to type into it, date it and print out for biro signing.

2. VFS Consent form - I printed it out from www.vfsglobal.com site and got wifey to biro fill and sign the relevant sections of the form as appropriate and added it to our documents.(As an adult on the family application, she needs to execute the consent form so that as the PA, I'll have her authority to submit and collect her passport and CoPR on her behalf)


NB: Remember to follow all the checklist and submit all the required documents and necessary photocopies, don't forget the specific requirements of your passport photos- photo sizing, stamp/details of the commercial photographer, date and names at the back of one of the 2 passport photos.



It will end in praise IJN!

You are not the primary applicant so no need for reference or payslips except the experience is from Canada. By all means,move everything pertaining to you to personal history.

Moving it to personal history would be best since you're not the PA. Don't complicate your application unnecessarily. You're not getting any points for your work history.
My two cents

Hi seniors,please help;

I am POST ITA and the primary applicant. My name is listed as part of the shareholders under Memorandum and Articles of Association of my wife company.I did not claim any point for her work history but i have filled the company name under her personal history as her work experience,hence the need to provide document that shows she manages the company.

I am an employee of another company which i have declared pre-ITA to secure ITA,now am worried wont that raise a red flag if i upload her company memorandum of association showing my name as a share holder?

Hello everyone,...

I have been thinking of a way to sort out sending our passports....and I thought I should ask here.

My mail says I should send our passports to vfs India or Nepal.

I am the primary applicant...and I am currently here in Nigeria.

Hubby is currently out of the country...Work.

****MY QUESTIONS****

Can we make our submissions separately? OR

Is it okay for me to send him our(mine and our child) passports for him to submit? Can he submit even though he is not the primary applicant?


Please anyone that has answers or who did something similar, kindly help me with answers....cos I am not sure what to do.

Thank you!
Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 6 by adebee16: 2:55pm On Dec 09, 2018
You don't submit proof for information filled in personal history sir. Don't subject your application to extra scrutiny. Unnecessarily

Kindly clarify if siblings point fall under eligibility review because I have a friend who's sister is a citizen and doesn't reside in Canada, however, they submitted all other documents relating to them i.e. mortgage payments, credit history, COPR, data page etc, They called CIC on friday and they were told eligibility has been passed.

Question 10 of the CRS calculator asks;

"Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?"

The whole point of awarding points for siblings is that the sibling living in Canada will help you integrate faster.

Long Post

God has been wonderful to me since I began my canny waka in 2017. I’m not the best of writers, so pardon me for my poor grammar (@raphrulz don’t come for me with -1/10 please).

My sincere appreciation goes to Nairaland people, at some point I felt you guys live online cuz you reply mails in few minutes and your posts have been very helpful. Kudos!!! . Please keep up the good work.

In July 2017 - I can’t recollect the exact date but my friend called me
Licious : Ogbeni wa je ki a gbiyanju Canada IELTS yi ko le(Guy lets try out this canada,IELTS is not hard), people dey pass am, Let’s register for it.
Me: I no fit stress myself jare , my work is demanding plus I dey broke (my mini phone biz was not doing well-lost all my savings ).

16th December 2017 - This was the day I made up my mind to start this Canada Journey, at this point I only had only 100k in my account(sold a phone the previous day with 78k profit). I drove down to my friends house - he helped me register for IELTS and I paid for my school’s transcript (LAUTECH were school).

IELTS :I did my exam January 20th passed on 2nd February 2018 - This my my first and only attempt. I remembered being overwhelmed after checking the results that I got confused. I just sent out my result to my friend, my sister and her husband to ask if I passed(barely passed 8.5/7/7/7). Lol

ECA - I decided to go with ICES cuz I don’t want story that touch with WES verification considering LAUTECH can go on strike for another two(2) years. I made my submission in January 2018 and got my evaluation via UPS on March 23 , 2018.
ITA - I filled my express entry application and submitted March 26th. I got ITA April 11
.
Documentation : Then the hustle for documentation started. I got the sample template for employer reference here on nairaland and sent it to my head of HR directly. Baba being a nice guy prepared it and signed it same day.

Proof of Fund: People don’t really talk much about this. If we all had our Proof of Funds most of us won’t consider Canada(Don’t quote me). .This was the time I knew my real friends and family. I was looking for CAD 23,181(My spouse was pregnant) but if I was able to get CAD 19, 093 that will be fine. Close to the end of 90 days grace period - God came through for me, Yes I got close to CAD 22,000 equivalent in my GTB Savings account.I had enough inflow and outflow that I wasn’t worried about redflag of any huge deposit. All the POF money came in in bits (100k to 500k) cuz I didn’t want to go through the Gift deed wahala.
My POF was generic GTB Six Months Statement of Account (49 pages). I struggled to compress it to the required 4MB.

Medicals - I booked Medicals for Family of three(3) with Children practice on Tuesday July 3rd - I gave the lady at the reception the passport and biodata pages . Then Gbagaun!!! she told me straight up that I won’t be able to do my medicals as my Passport is less than Six(6) months to expiry. I was like Mogbe!!! I called Ikoyi Passport Office contact. Dude told me no Passport pages available that I should go to Ibadan. I called ibadan and was told no 32 pages passport that I should proceed to Ekiti. All these was happening when my ITA expires in 8 days. In short- drove down to Ibadan next day - did 64 pages (for 39k) and got it same day. I drove down to Ikoyi Children practice the following day and did medicals.

AOR- Submitted my Application July 9th 2018 and spent the weekend creating vetting and uploading documents. Payment was made using GTB dollar Mastercard.

ADR: 25th July I got ADR for my spouse which had a missing information between 2009/06 to 2009/09/ and 2017/04/01 to 2018/07/09. Lesson: try and ensure we don’t overlap or miss out timeline.

Silence - The period of constant checking of my profile without update. I know it is not easy o but please let’s just leave the account. When there is an update. You will get an email.

1st Nov 218 - God blessed my family with a baby girl on 1st Nov 218. I was so busy with the baby’s stuffs that I forgot to raise a CSC for the newborn.
3rd Nov 2018 – I decided to raise a CSC for the new baby and started gathering documents.
7th Nov 2018 – I got a response to my CSC that I should contact Ottawa via email to inform them of my new family addition.
I immediately sent a mail to Ottawa – informing them of my new family addition. Then things got interesting … I got an ADR - Travel History Info Form and Passport pages(we don't have any travel history) same day for my spouse and I. I couldn’t wait to get to the office the following day to scan the passports which made me result to using my smartphone to snap the and merge the Passport pages –
At the point I felt PPR was close – deep down I was praying that my baby should be added before PPR is issued.

12th Nov 2018- Did my Baby’s Passport at Ibadan (Yes I took the risk of Lagos Ibadan for the 1 day passport)

13th Nov 2018 - Brought her back to Lagos for Medicals at IOM Ikeja- the lady at the reception was kind enough to attend to us without appointment cuz my baby was just 13 days old.

15th Nov 2018 - First PPR - the mail(dated 14th November 2018) came like Russian Phishing mail in my inbox. I was so happy but at the same time worried since my mail to ottawa hasn’t been replied.
I decided to send a follow-up mail to Ottawa attaching all the required documents as specified in @niobe77 post.

20th Nov: I logged and saw application/profile update but didn’t see any update
21st Nov: I logged and saw application/profile update and yes I saw that they've included my baby's name on the list of dependants)

22nd Nov: I received a notification for an update on my profile but still didn't see any additional update.

7th Dec 2018- I check nairaland and saw @hachikaru post that he/she received PPR that we should all check our emails. I checked mine and lo and behold I saw the Golden-Indian mail.

Thanks to @Joo2018 and @Newmum0615 for always responding to my mails.

**I’m using my spouse’s moniker cuz I use mine for business here on Nairaland.

At the point I felt PPR was close – deep down I was praying that my baby should be added before PPR is issued.

12th Nov 2018- Did my Baby’s Passport at Ibadan (Yes I took the risk of Lagos Ibadan for the 1 day passport)

13th Nov 2018 - Brought her back to Lagos for Medicals at IOM Ikeja- the lady at the reception was kind enough to attend to us without appointment cuz my baby was just 13 days old.

15th Nov 2018 - First PPR - the mail(dated 14th November 2018) came like Russian Phishing mail in my inbox. I was so happy but at the same time worried since my mail to ottawa hasn’t been replied.
I decided to send a follow-up mail to Ottawa attaching all the required documents as specified in @niobe77 post.

20th Nov: I logged and saw application/profile update but didn’t see any update
21st Nov: I logged and saw application/profile update and yes I saw that they've included my baby's name on the list of dependants)

22nd Nov: I received a notification for an update on my profile but still didn't see any additional update.

7th Dec 2018- I check nairaland and saw @hachikaru post that he/she received PPR that we should all check our emails. I checked mine and lo and behold I saw the Golden-Indian mail.

Thanks to @Joo2018 and @Newmum0615 for always responding to my mails.

**I’m using my spouse’s moniker cuz I use mine for business here on Nairaland.

Congratulations sir!!

God bless you and your family.

I'm planning to start mine sometime in January/February. Starting with IELTS.

I'm tapping from your blessings if you dont mind cheesy cheesy
