Hi Guys please I have a question, sorry in advance for the long write up and any inputs will be appreciated.

I got nominated by NS and my current ee point is 1055, my profile expires at the end of Feb, I’d lose 5 points in December(birthday).

When I submitted my documents to NS for the nomination I used 2 gift deeds from my cousins in the US which made up the bulk sum of the money along with a letter of explanation that I’m studying abroad now as such my family foots my bills and I was still able to get the nomination.
Considering my current EE point I’m certain I’d receive an ITA next draw but I’m thinking maybe I should keep rejecting the ITA till the money hits 6 months in my account( 2 months left). The reason for this is; I don’t want to apply for PR using the gift deeds or writing a letter of explanation. Do you think this is a good plan or will it lead to issues?

.

I think the officer in charge will still wanna know the sources of that bulky transactions into your account. I stand to be corrected.

Is there any law that says money must be in account for six months ? Not seen that before

NSNominee:

Oh!!! I didn’t think of that

Don't fret please. Gift deeds are normal and legal and by itself explains the source (i.e large funds are gifts from your cousins to assist your immigration dreams).

You don't need to show a 6-month "curing" period for gift deeds. It can even be on the day you submit.

THANK YOU

Nacho4:
In recent times, it's been taking an average 40-50 days post AOR.

Hello guys please my hubby made a mistake in his date of birth when creating wes account. It is supposed to be 5th June but what is there is 6th June. How do we rectify this please, the year is correct just the day. No document has been sent yet but he has gotten reference number

NSNominee:


Yea... I heard so.

Read it yourself . I don’t know of PNP but for the FSW express entry the requirement is that the money is available when you apply and when entering the country . The six month requirement I know of is six months average balance which doesn’t say monthly average balance must be above the required threshold

they send adr to some people this year to submit 12 months statement. So if you keep rejecting it doesn't mean they can't ask for 12 month statement.

I used Access Bank mastercard. It worked.
Try a naira master or visa card. Converts it to dollar at a cross rate

Thank you, my Gtb later worked. Cheers

Hi everyone
my AOR was on the 4th of October 2020, till now I haven't heard anything from IRCC. no update on whether my medicals passed or Biometrics. How long after AOR do I get to know if my medicals passed and how long before they call me for biometrics?

Thank you

Had my AOR on the 4th of Oct 2020 also, got an application status update via my email on 6th Nov, checked my EE profile and saw only change in UCI number and the progress bar appeared, no medicals nor biometric update. Hopefully by next week we should get MEP/BIL, all the best.

Hopefulnenye:
please help

Send an email to them and also fill their webform stating the exact issue.

They might tell you that will rectify is when they are done with the evaluation.

Makesure you stay on their necks. If there's no solution (which i doubt) and you haven't paid or sent documents you can open another account.

MaamCita:
Thanks alot, they have responded and my ECA has been corrected. I'm so happy

I want to change the name on my wes credential name on my diploma.. any idea on how to do it

Hi Guys, please I have a question.

Are all the information you used to create your profile used as reference and compared with those shared post ITA?

The reason for my question is that while filling my details for education, I included that I finished my masters in January 2018 because of the date on my WES evaluation report (no month was indicated on the report, just year) but on getting the certificate, it says March 2018.

I have updated all info post ITA. Do you think the difference between both information will serve as misrepresentation?

@ednut1 @kekerekun @mamaroon. Please help.

Thank you

please can i have their email. If i open another account it will be another reference number right. Because I have given the school the reference, so I believe is not an option.

My Timeline
Apr 2018 - IELTS - LRWS 7.5, 9, 6.5, 8 First attempt (BC)
July 2018 - WES - BSc
July 2018 - CRS Score 398
Dec 2019 - Finished MBA
Mar 2020 - IELTS - LRWS 9,9,7.5,7.5 Second attempt (MOD) - I used ieltsliz and ieltsonlinetests to prepare.
Apr 2020 - WES Evaluation for MBA
July - Got married and jumped into the pool next day CRS - 482
ITA - Aug 5

Medicals were done at Qlife Lagos, quite seamless. I booked via a phone call to the phone number on their website. We got there before 8 am and left around 11 am. PCC was at Alagbon. Wifey did one and same person affidavit at Ikoyi High Court same day.
Education - I attached BSc and MBA certs and WES

Marriage - I attached the wedding cert and a collage of pictures from our wedding.
Employment - got reference letters from my previous and current employer - same NOC, 5+ years in total. The former did not state salary earned so I added my employment offer letter which shows the salary breakdown. Thanks to Mamaroon for helping to check how my JDs match the NOC 6235
POF - 80% in Mutual Funds and remaining in spouse's account. I attached reference letters from SIAML for the mutual funds, from spouse's bank and a simple letter from her stating that I have access to the fund in her account. I also created a word document showing a breakdown of the POF accounts, the equivalent in CAD and screenshot from XE for the conversion rate used. All put together in a single PDF file.

I used icecream pdf for all merging and splitting. Saved all document and screenshots on the cloud too just in case.

LOE - I did a letter explaining each document uploaded at the major placeholders and why.
AOR - Aug 30 - all fees paid with a family friend's Canadian bank card. The rate was at 305 (super low - he just decided to help us)
ADR - Sep 22 - Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature. Had to submit my spouse's details all over again.
BIL - Sep 30, completed Oct 16.
I asked about visa office and application status via webform. The response came about a week later that our file was in Accra VO and that I could contact them directly if I so desire. Rude shock, but we took it with faith.
PPR - Nov 9. I don't know the word to describe how I felt. I am yet to recover from it even.

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed valuable information on this thread series. You guys are heroes!

miolad20:
Whew... I got banned by NL's antispambot when trying to post my long PPR story here yesterday morning.

Anyways here is the summary (I'll find time to type the long gist soon)

AOR - Aug 30
Biometrics completed - Oct 16
PPR - Nov 9


PS. I'm looking for anyone who recently sent passports to VFS Accra or Lagos for stamping please. I have some questions. Thank you

Thank you. VO was Accra o. Thanks for the link too

Mmamaroon:


AMAZING!!! Congrats Miolad20.....you probably didn't even get a chance to ask what VO you were in! Lagos VFS passort submission via DHL is possible now....that's the gist. This link was also posted earlier hope it helps.
