Ethelia:
Congratulations on your ppr

Keep reading now, you ain't seen nuffin yet.

I love this thread though, everyone's contributions have helped prepare me objectively for this move.

At least now i know i wouldn't be picking CAD on the streets

Ethelia:
I've just been laughing! There I was thinking things were 'bad' on the express entry thread, not knowing its childs play compared to this zone

Sounds like you're right around the period where things got shaky here...lol!

Ethelia:
My God!! Started reading from page zero and currently at page 200 Its not easy but the information is wonderful.....

#backtoreadingpage201

thank you

Congratulations on yours as well...may this Canada journey favour us o...hope you are more at ease with moving now though

happytbaby:
I think it was missed in error.

Congratulations on your PPR.

I want to believe every case is different because up to 20% of my POF was the 25% RSA funds for both me and my husband and there is no way we would have met the minimum if it was taken out.

I think this needs more cases to support if it is true. It will be a sad blow if they start rejecting this as a source of funding biko!!!

Guitarlife:
Hi guys my gcms notes came through and everything looks good.
However, I noticed when my pof was computed the CAD recorded was less than my actual declared CAD thank God it still met the pof requirement for a family of 1.

I did some computation and it seemed the difference was the RSA amount that I added, it seems CIC nor wan dey gree with RSA again o.

Yes I did, was not aware you could combine into one gift deed at the time

Obi1conte:
Congrats on your PPR.
Please help me clarify this. Did you submit two gift deeds for you application?

GTBank limit is $3000 per month

Onedimple:
I don't think i can 2230CAD with GTB naira card

Thank you all for your messages and amen!

@CPEThorpe,

1. I used just one NOC, i only changed it post ITA when i realised i had filled the wrong one in my pre-ITA profile.

2. I just got someone to witness and sign along with the *gifters* that's all

Eraytee:

Congrats Madam

jelmusboy:
Excuse me people. Is there anyone who entered IP2 of recent and yet to get PPR? Entered IP2 June 27th and still there.

Hope you checked your spam as it could have been sent there in error. Also, is your email prioritised? These are options to explore...

Hoping it comes this week if the suggested is not the case

Hello Everyone,

I would like to start this week by dropping my timeline and state that I'm grateful for God's mercies. My application was processed in less than 40 days...never hespered it!

CRS: 450
ITA: April 25
AOR: May 30
MEP: June 12
IP2: July 6
PPR: July 7 (no ghost update)

Passport submitted: July 9

(Was a little short on cash and met a lady who without any fuss, gave me the required cash in exchange for a funds transfer. If you are on this forum, i really appreciate you and you confirmed to me that we have good people in this country)

NOC: Thank you @newmum for helping me see that i had chosen the wrong NOC even though i was post-ITA so that i could change it to the closer match before submitting. Getting my reference letter wanted to be a real war but God intervened and somehow i got it through an unexpected twist of events.

Background: My application was pretty simple; married with children and more than 6 years experience in my primary NOC. Hubby's work experience was detailed in personal history.

IELTS: Aced on first try and honestly used it as a fleece to confirm if God wanted me to embark on this journey at all and also to confirm if all the grammar i think i speak was worth anything... . My speaking was HORRIBLE and i was sure i had failed but ended up with an 8, overall band was 8.5.

ECA: This was the second curve ball, it took 4 months to conclude due to NASU strike but i was just chilling as POF was kuku not complete.

POF: Didn't know how much was expected when i started this journey and honestly if i knew, I would have chickened out.
Got to know after acing IELTS and it was too late to turn back. POF was half complete as at ITA but the funds showed up barely a month after. Got two gift deeds from close family members for up to 50% of total POF and didn't notarize any based on info from this forum. Submitted all my account statements and even salary account for good measure even though the balance was meager, major funds were in money market funds and 25% of pensions contribution for both me and hubbs.


@Newmum i'm still very much rooting for your PPR story so i'm posting mine before the avalanche of congrats for yours comes this week.

@Everyone still trusting and waiting to complete one stage or the other, it will happen as long as you keep pressing forward.

I appreciate the wealth of information gathered from this forum and really believe we still have honest folk in this country.

To this second round of PPR clinchers, a hearty congratulations.

@Glitteringstar, such good news...congrats.

To the ielts and ITA hopefuls, may God crown your efforts with success.


PS: May the rain of PPR continue to fall on us all.

Newmum0615:
Where have you been?

Been around and chilling, consumed a lot of popcorn reading some of the recent pages...lol

We are rooting for you sis

Congratulations to our PPR clinchers

Thanks for the knowledge shared here. Goes back to silent reader.

Congratulations... Such speed!!!

Newmum0615:
Nice. I wish you good luck and speed. The LOE is not a biggie. Just keep it simple. Don't do too much explaining and tie rope round your legs. You won't be the firjst NOC changer they are dealing with.

Thanks a bunch ma'am. Rounding up document gathering and planning for medicals.

Cheers

@newmum0615 thanks again for helping me review my NOC. I eventually went with 1221, focusing on the aspects of my job duties that were related to project administration.

Also succeeded in getting HR to include the expanded duties with my supervisor's consent.

So now I have to deal with writing a very detailed LOE clarifying why my pre-ITA NOC is different from the one I'm prooving experience for post ITA

Compu001:
Good morning fam.
Please, I have a issue that is bothering me. I had a three years experience somewhere but I can't get the bank statements or payslips. Inshort we do not have any of such. I have the employment letter and I can get the reference letter. Please how can I go about this??

I think that should suffice too. CIC states that payslips should be included if you have them

But if you don't mind my asking, how come you can't get the bank statement anymore?

Bonvieto:
I have applied for the canadian express entry and i have received an ITA, problem i have is, one of the employees i listed in the work experience portion of my express entry profile wont be able to provide me with a reference.


i really need solid advice on this, as am weary of being blacklisted

There are other ways to prove work experience like getting a former colleague to write a personal reference on a plain sheet, showing payslips, employment letter, promotion letters etc. Just Google to see what the alternatives are before resorting to declining ITA

thekingskiddy:
I will advise that you reject the ITA immediately, especially if your points without including the said employer is enough to guarantee another ITA.
Yes, they use both the info from your EE application and e-APR, so you do not want any inconsistencies. I recall that GlitteringStar posted sometime ago that she learned via GCMS notes that the VO noted consistency between EE and e-APR information, so that means they clearly check!
Please note that regardless of the implications for your CRS points, you are required to supply evidence of every employment for which you were awarded points under work experience. So, while declining the ITA might be painful, it is likely the foolproof way of staying safe.
Hopefully, others can also offer some advice in case I missed something.

I learnt from research that this is not true.

So far the change does not cause your score to drop below the ITA score for which you were invited, you should have no problem. This means for FSW, if you still have a minimum of 3years experience in NOC a,b or 0 after removing the experience you want to take out or if your score was high enough to begin with to still give you a good score after the deduction, you're good.
Instead of just wasting ITA slots.

I'm changing my NOC from what i selected pre-ITA so I have a material difference in my application, let's see how it goes

ghuzy01:
Abeg, who helped you with the pcc, someone is telling me 7500 too,I wan ditch her

Called inspector moshood o..you can search the thread for his number. Some people paid less sef, u have to bone face

Congrats to all those who received PPR this week...to those waiting, yours is on the way, hang in there.

i'm also feeling this quick processing o...please tell us if you're inland or outland

Dokstar:
Silent reader PPR alert. Thank God.

AOR: 14/3/18

PPR: 16/5/18

rockrookie91:
Thank you so much for the swift response. I'll check them out.........my fellow 'nairalanders' any other place....I want plenty options

I'm interested too please, why are we all using studio 24 self if there are equally competent options?

In other news, my PCC cost 5k cos I boned for the guy when he wanted to collect 7500 ( I hope I was not swerved sef)

mosky47:
Has anyone here ever noticed a discrepancy between the CRS simulation tool, and the actual score on the EE profile.
If yes, which is higher?

My simulation score looks good, but I'm hoping it won't be lower when I get my IELTS result and finally enter the pool.

the only discrepancies will be if you are unable to prove any of the details you have inputted in the CRS tool. For the IELTS, please aim to score the highest band across all 4 modules to get the highest score though with 8777 in LSRW will suffice depending on your other metrics.

oh..you also lose 5 points for each additional year added to your age

Hi @czaratwork...nice to read from you and side eye for not acknowledging some of us(hands in the air) that asked after you.

Seen your response.

Thank you plenty

Newmum0615:
@Randomsue, I can't find your mail o. I have searched through my mailbox, and there is nothing that contains the word 'random' inside. I wanted to get down to it before my business of the day.

zezebabyxoxo:
Hello house, this is a very informative thread. I intend on moving to Canada with my fiance but I'm quite worried about out job prospects since we both have Nigerian degrees and experience. I've learnt that does not hold much weight in Canada. He has 3 years audit experience in a big 4 audit firm. While I have just 1 year experience as a financial analyst. I'm planning on converting my ACCA certification to Canadian CPA. Please where would you advise us to settle and what strategies can we use to increase our prospects. Thank you.

Hi, I think that relocating is always a big life changing decision for anyone but if you read through this thread from beginning, you'll see that people who relocate actually get jobs.

Your fiance can also explore the option of an internal transfer if his company has a Canadian office.

For info on the process for relocation to Canada, please visit this page https://www.nairaland.com/4472519/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled

happytbaby:
You want her to respond to "random" requests? Maybe you should change your moniker to "intentional sue" so that she can take it serious.

Lol...it's intentionally random

Newmum0615:
Hi dear, I'm still searching for your mail o. Did you respond to the PM I sent you? Kindly resend abeg.

Forwarded my last mail again and I quoted my Monica in the email title this time


I hope it works.

Thanks for your time again

Moravia:
Thanks so much Bro, I really appreciates your effort and commitment inspite the short notice, you still showed up. I’m really impressed, God bless you in Jesus name.
