Pls assist.

freeradical: What a glorious CRS cut off score. I spent close to 6months on 433 with my first EE profile searching for ITA but it wouldn't come 
Congratulations to all our new ITA holders, yimiton, dammiehar, XX01, et al. I know you guys expect to get speedy processing of your eAPR to PPR and so I've decided to help you with a few advice from my own experience. My timeline from AOR to PPR is just 46days which is quite impressive and something I'd wish for you guys to replicate. Now my advice to you goes as follows. Brace up its gonna be a long read
1. Getting ITA is a big deal but it's not so much of a big deal if u don't package your application well and it gets rejected. So use only 24 hours to celebrate dis ITA after which you have to settle down, snap out of the euphoria(you are not in Canada yet ) and focus on submitting your eAPR without making any costly error that may mar your chances.
2. Even though we know that ultimately d divine controls the speed of every application yet you must do your utmost best in packaging your application carefully. As much as you can, get the documents in d format specified by CIC. Start now to disturb your bankers for the reference letters and your employers for the work reference letter. From my experience, you save d VO time and make their work easier when you submit documents in the recommended CIC format and they reward that with a fast processing.
3. PCCs are very vital and you should know by now what PCCs you need to provide. To be on the safe side any country you have spent a cumulative period of 3-4 months from when you were born till now just start now to process your PCC from them. VOs r very unforgiving with PCCs and sometimes they interprete the laws around PCCs in ways we can't truly understand. If you are like me that have never enter international flight before (I.e no travel history) then u are safe but for all the ajalas in the house, the chicken has come home to roost 
4. Do not be in a hurry to get AOR, thereby rushing to submit. Take your time to ensure that you include every document in your checklist and in the right file format. Always cross check that your uploads are still intact even at the point of submission. It's not really by AOR but by how fast you move from AOR to PPR. Some July AOR peeps are already with PPR while we still got some April AORs languishing in IP1. So don't let the race to get AOR get to you.
5. Avoid ADRs. If it means waiting till the final week of your 90precious days it's safer to wait it out and submit your application with that document you know will be requested. ADRs have a way of unnecessarily delaying the movement of your file. The best time to send CIC documents is before AOR so be proactive enough to prevent anything that will make then ask after. For example if you know you have been refused visa to some country, nothing stops u from filling a schedule A form proactively even before it is asked.
6. Use your LOE very well. The LOE is a powerful weapon that you must use very well to your favour. If you do an unbiased self assessment of your application, you will note the areas where your application appears to be weak. It's almost likely that the VO will come to this same conclusion as you. That's where a good LOE does wonders. You can use your LOE to politely explain and provide further detail to the VO. What u r actually doing is subtly allaying his doubts about this weak part of your application. This helps the guy to make a favorable decision on your case. The trick to writing a good LOE is being honest, polite and MOST IMPORTANTLY attaching a document to buttress your point or as evidence. Also you can write as many LOEs and attached documents to each even though there is one placeholder for LOE. That's where your PDF merger comes in. Merge all the LOEs into one single file and attach.
7. Raising CSEs is a bad, bad thing!Avoid anything that will also make you to start disturbing your application midway after AOR by having to raise a CSE. Examples are getting married, adding a baby etc. Though most times these stuffs are beyond our control but as much as you can try to avoid entering such situations because it will delay your application. If you know you want to marry that man/woman then make the decision and get married already even before you secure ITA. I've seen some people's application getting delayed because they have to include spouse. If you r expecting a baby and your due date is before the 90days post ITA period,its best you wait for the child and include him before AOR. This exactly was my case. I had ITA Apr 12th and my wife's EDD was May 12th. I decided to wait for the baby. I made every arrangements for his passport with the immigration agent( the guy thought I was crazy trying to do passport for a child yet unborn ), but alas baby came early on May 5th. My son got his passport May 12th or so and we got AOR June 19th. So my point is as much as we can control these events let's try our best.
8. Finally just keep praying as though everything depends on your prayers but not your work and try not to be overly anxious. Who anxiety EPP sef.
I wish you guys a smooth PPR journey from here on. Thanks for the very elaborate guidance. On PCC, will it be required from principal sponsor and dependant (wife) ? |

ugoiyke79e: Is the marriage certificate the normal Nigerian marriage cert? (pull up a sample frm google and compare it wit yours). I ask cos some churches are licensed by the govt to conduct marriages and issue the govt marriage cert on d wedding day in d church (although the couple would have been made to go register d marriage @ the court). Such certificates are therfore the acceptable ones...mine is exactly like that.
If however, what u have is your church's own marriage cert then i advise u go and register your marriage in court to obtain d govt certificate. be sure to attach a LOE and other evidence of d marriage(eg wedding pictures,baby dedication pics, family portrait, etc) in other to avoid unnecessary delays by ADR should d VO choose to scrutinize your certificate's recent date..
This is my own viewpoint and is in no way sacrosanct. Thank you much. Now am having some serious concerns. The certificate was issued by a Catholic Church and I have never had any issue using it for visa application. However, looking at the internet now, it's very different. No coat of arms on it. Anyone one with a useful experience in this regards? |

Hello dear people,
Please let me pick your brain on this topic. I got married some 3 years ago and have a marriage certificate issued by the church, also my wife has a newspaper publication and sworn affidavit for her name change.
Now will this suffice as evidence of marriage or do I require a marriage certificate issued by the court? |
Travel › Re: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program Connect Here by redocean: 9:16am On Aug 02, 2017 |
ugoiyke79e: In my case, the marriage cert disparity was in my age. I was quoted a wrong age as at d wedding date...I never even really bothered about it until i read about the poster with "different occupation" problem..... so after reading his/her experiences and when i got an ITA, this is what i did
1) in the placeholder for marriage cert i uploaded a merged copy of (in the sequence listed below) - marriage cert -LOE pointing out d disparity and explaining why/how it occured -marriage notification/announcement slip and registry publication both having my correct age/D.O.B stated on them -Birth certificate( N.B a birth cert is not ordinarily requested of adults but in dis case i judged it necessary to prove my point) -Sworn affidavit of age declaration made by my mom so many yrs ago(for a different purpose)
2) In my LOE placeholder, I had a 2-page letter explaining different things in my application, one of which was d age disparity (and proof/supporting documents ) already mentioned in d marriage cert placeholder.
So you could look and decide how to prove your own case. Cheers. Hello, Please let me pick your brain on this topic.

balogunsam: Good morning everyone. Welcome to a new month. DHL finally delivered transcript yesterday and status changed to "Evaluation in progress". However i faxed certificate via hellofax last week and i have not received any acknowledgement for it so i thought to ask does the term "We received your document(s). We are reviewing your document(s)." mean they have both the transcript and my certificate?
Your inputs will be appreciated.
Thank you! You can't tell at this stage. The status should change after some days, then you will be able to see on your order list which documents have been received. From experience, transcript is more important for the evaluation. You only need to send a copy of certificate. |

Business › Re: Cash Shortage Hits Banks, Overnight Lending Rate Jumps by redocean: 11:01am On Apr 15, 2015 |
Adesiji77: Overnight lending rate jumped to 78.5 per cent on Tuesday, up from 60 per cent on Monday, statistics from the FMDQ OTC showed
The increase came two days after the Central Bank of Nigeria debited banks about N72bn to enforce its Cash Reserve Requirements policy.
The development has triggered a surge in demand for funds on the interbank market, according to financial market dealers.
The CBN requires banks to set aside 75 per cent of public sector and 15 per cent of private sector deposits in cash in their respective accounts with the central bank.
Data from the FMDQ showed that overnight lending rate stood at 27 per cent on Friday before the CBN withdrew the funds.
Traders said that the liquidity shortage was compounded by lack of cash flow to the banking system because there were no Treasury bills maturing during the past week.
An analyst at Ecobank Nigeria, Mr. Kunle Ezun, said the increase in overnight lending rate was a reflection of the market, adding that the recent cash withdrawal by the CBN had led to liquidity squeeze in the market.
He, however, said the situation might change in coming days as payment for maturing treasury bills would pump liquidity into the market.
http://www.punchng.com/business/money/cash-shortage-hits-banks-overnight-lending-rate-jumps/ Cash reserve ratio on private sector deposit is 20 percent. |

The lady is beautiful and looks comfortable and i can only speculate that he must have either lied about his marital status to her. A good thing you said unprotected sex, which means the lady gave her consent since it was not a rape case but a relationship, and rather than speculate, let your comment be objective based on available information. |

Any man that cannot face the consequenses of his actions deserve no joystick at all! Why is it just the flaws of the man that has fueled your comment? should a single lady be dating a married man? can an enlightened lady get pregnant these days without genuinely wanting the pregnancy? common, everyone should be held accountable for their actions because they made their choice.
