Honeysweetest:
you can write it yourself if you can Google about procedural fairness letter, or you can get an expert on it.

Your pockets will determine.
Why don't you find out the fees first, something worth doing is worth doing well.
I had a PFL during my application also, it is about replying honestly and with all the evidence. It doesn’t have a specific response format.

Goodafternoon everyone.
Please I’m in desperate need of help and ideas right now.
I applied for spousal sponsorship in June 2023,
My husband came back on April 2023,got married to me and travelled back to Canada….
We applied in May but our application was rejected due to some mistakes,then we reapplied in June…
I’ve done biometrics,Medicals and all documentation…
Was waiting for ppr,when I got an email…
A procedural fairness letter….
First of all they asked me to prove my marriage the further,by adding more pictures and chats and documentation…
That one is not an issue..
The main issue now is that they said I’m guilt for misrepresentation……
I never knew I made a mistake in the form……
To be honest,I filled the wrong box by mistake…
In 2017,I was denied a us visiting visa…
I think I wanted to go for vacation or something….
I can’t even remember why they rejected me…
It was since 2017,
So they asked me to prove myself,if found guilty,I will be banned for 5 years….
My marriage is still very young and the emotional turmoil of long distance sef is painful….
I consulted some consultant and she said I should look for the slip they gave me the refusal slip…
I can’t find it….
But I had to search my mail and saw the application slip with the application number…..
How do we go about it and honestly,we don’t have the funds for a lawyer at this moment….
Pls has any one gone through this
You don’t have much to worry about, just clearly state that it was an honest mistake, state the reason you wanted to travel then and the refusal you got and that you also did not reapply. Also State that you are aware of info sharing between US and Canada and it would not have been or any benefit for you to conceal such information especially as it will not have any impact on your application. Then you can add the screen shot and that’s it.

I will advise u to target transport draw. The next draw will be in june. All u need to do now is get a reference from any logistics company u know (3yrs reference) update ur NOC to transportation manager and u are good to go. Or better still create a second express entry profile with the transport Noc.
It is your type that will get people 5yrs ban.

Wait ... if you want to retain your dollar value inrespective of naira to dollar then nothing concern you with the rate it get converted to in Naira.. because a value of dollar today will still be the same in Next year, but if you are holding the green back note so that when naira depreciate you will convert it and you will have like 10million naira from 5million naira ... then you need to rethink
You will get 10million that is worth less than 5million

advanceDNA:


That's means u don't understand ur colleague

Ur own aim is to convert back to naira to have a feel of plenty naira...... but the conversion technically makes only little difference because the naira u want to convert to has a very low purchasing power now.. e.g 2.7M tokunbo now goes for 8.5-9M..

But if u can understand ur colleague....T.M shirt is still 3 for 135$ since last year....if u dont gerrit, fogerrit....
No one could have explained this better!

You would notice that you will hardly get a response to this because the realities differ once you land here. The likelihood that the buddy system would not work is near 100%. So brace up like you are a one man or one woman gang because that is what it is in reality.

Thanks for bringing up this important point.

Black Bold - IRCC has told us that we do not need to satisfy the education requirements of the NOC we choose, which we both seem to agree to, in general. Bone of contention is medical field https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/537#101136249

Purple Bold - You may be right especially with the doctor example, which is valid (edited Page 1 to read "except you're a doctor or pharmacist"..... to be fair IRCC asks for a special body to evaluate the ECA for those 2). However, I think (could be wrong) there may be some medical jobs that one can perform competently without a previous degree e.g. auxiliary nurses, where they learn on the job.

A VO is free to ask for ADR during his assessment, however even for medical job, I'm not sure he is free to reject an application because the applicant did not have the education requirements for said job/NOC, provided the applicant actually did perform the duties and can prove it (as your friend did with evidence of training or some other person with a medical job could do with evidence of haven learnt on the job).

This would be a good one to see a judicial review judgement on...like the law, professional degree WES matter smiley

I got canadian visit visa last year. I did my biometrics before getting the visa. I was told biometrics lasts for 10 years. Now i applied for PR, and IRCC are asking me to submit biometrics again. Why is that one not valid anymore?
Now you have to redo biometrics, it is a fairly new policy

Hello all,

Please i’m 25, single, no sibling in Canada and currently have up to 3 years work experience with a Bsc in mass communication. Heard about the express entry program and I'm thinking of entering the pool this year and plan to take IELTS in April. I'm also taking the BCS IT certification later in the year so I can get more points with two or more certificates

However, my work experience is divided across different fields: 10 months in digital & content marketing during NYSC (ICT company) and 2+ years in product management at a fin-tech

Although, i’m planning to use product management as my primary NOC (21221). I'm concerned that my NYSC experience wont count to help me reach the 3yrs requirements as it’s in a different field.

Apart from a masters which is not feasible right now. What do you advise to get more points?
Thanks everyone 🙏🏾
I understand your dilemma about your NYSC, you can claim full one year for it. Explain the first month was orientation and the last month was statutory earned leave. That gives you your full one year

Thank you so much.

So all I have to do is wait?
It won’t be nice of me to just say yes, however, I do not want to take over the paid job of your lawyer. But in the spirit of a really supportive thread, there is more to Express Entry than just being in the pool. There are many questions to ask like, your current scores, your profession, do you need an added certificate, do you even have your profile login details, etc…

OK perhaps I was generalising. To talk about Nigeria sometimes you have to be specific about what part of Nigeria you're referring to, eg North, west or South. But in our modern age culture spreads, and by culture I don't mean the ones passed on to us by ancestors, I mean certain environments, social norms and values that make up these cultures. Sometimes to understand a culture we have to understand the mindset and values of the society practicing it. There are certain trends and way of behavior and mindset you'll see among different citizens of the country, and some of them are not good.
For example we have a materialistic culture, our societies have a damn obsession for money and prestige. We are so easy to bribe and emotionally sway with money. In the south we love enjoyment, sex and splendor, this desire combined with poverty triggers our endless love for money. Even our love for God is connected to money and materialism. I've observed that in societies where piety and simple living is not recognized, money becomes a god, and thus poverty prevails, and corruption thrives where there is poverty. Haven't you ever wondered why in poor environments songs about money and sex sells well?
I am struggling to find your values here that wants to make you stay.

Hello everyone, please can someone explain what this info means.
My aunt lives in Ontario, Canada and she already got a lawyer there to work on my express entry progress but the man is just weird.
He sent me this document and said I'm already in the pool and I should wait for either an employer to pick me from the pool or for a province to nominate me but from what I'm seeing I'm not eligible for Provincial nomination.
When he sent the document, I told him I didn't fully understand and he said I should read it till I understand because he's not going to spoon-feed me.
Someone should please help me.
Firstly I think his comment is unfair, by you needing a lawyer to put in an Express Entry application for you, he should have known you would requiring a bit of spoon feeding through this process.

Assuming your profile is what he has sent in the screen shot, yes you have an active Express Entry Profile with an associated score and you await the day your points will fall within the group of those who will be called for application.

However, while waiting, it is not an uncommon occurrence for provinces to show interest in your profile if you have certain qualities that meets their criteria at that time. When and if they do, they will request you to put in a formal application to the particular province. The reason they are interested in you will also be stated.

I hope this helps.

it’s common sense na. 25 million Naira is like 13000 pounds. The average British person does not have up to 1000 pounds in their aza. So you spend 13500 pounds to relocate to a place where the average person does not have 1000 in aza. Is that not the definition of madness 😆😆😆😆
Not having 1000 in his/her/two spirit’s aza doesn’t mean that’s all the individual’s net worth, think about it in a broader context. There are many reasons he/she/two spirit doesn’t need cash

One reason I don't have an enthusiasm to japa at the moment is because of my personal values and my view of life, work, and the world. If i want to japa, i do so because there things about the country i personally admire about the place I'm immigrating to, like language and culture, and suits my person. I don't believe in migrating out of the country for survival means except in periods of political insurgency, war, and natural disaster.

Everywhere is fukked, there's no Utopia anywhere, even in the so called USA and Canada where people see as heaven, unspeakable things happen to people over there. You'll go online and see their citizens complaining bitterly about the state of their nation. Some Americans even believe that there is an incoming civil war and advice leaving the country. When you look at all the paranoia in the West it makes you ponder. You look at Nigeria despite how messed up the system is, we're still better than many countries in the world - by a far margin.

I believe in living life with meaning and purpose, if you can't live a meaningful life in Nigeria, you can't have one in another land which has a different culture. If you go to a "greener pasture" with the purpose of mere survival soon it would turn brown. Nigeria can be fixed, every great nation has had it's fair share of bad leaders and economic meltdown, and they fixed it. Nigeria can be fixed. I believe that many problems in Nigeria are interpersonal and has it's roots in our culture and family systems .
If I may ask, what is Nigerian culture?

Unfortunately people are raising money to get through it because of the long term gains !!

I can only encourage anyone who can afford it because you'll get yourself sorted in the UK after 5-6 years and begin a fresh new life with great future.

Free school fees for your kids up to University level and you can pay your debt back in Nigeria within two years with interest.

What of free NHS healthcare
It's unquantifiable !!
Get sick in Nigeria and you're a gonna 😧

So, why would someone decide to hope for uncertain future in Nigeria if you can raise such money
Well said, also to add, many people who struggle in Nigeria still struggle abroad. Sometimes it is not about the society but your individual skills.

Please I need with this because I'm very confused

This refers to your Canadian Work Permit application.
I have reviewed your application and documents you submitted in its support. Subsection 11(1)
of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act provides that a foreign national must, before
entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the
Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is
satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act.
I have concerns that you do not meet the requirement put upon you by subsection 16(1) of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), which states:
16(1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to
them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant
evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.
I have additional concerns that you may be inadmissible under subsection 40(1) of IRPA, which
states:
40(1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible for misrepresentation
(a) for directly or indirectly misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a
relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act.
Specifically, I have concerns that you owe $100.00 to the crown
How did you pay the application fee?
