Baisy:
Hello everyone.

I am new on this forum even though wifey has been telling about how great this forum is. In fact, she shared useful information from this space with me in the past.

So I received ITA yesterday but there's a snag because ECA wasn't completed by the time I submitted my EE profile. My questions will in three folds and I will appreciate if anyone can give guidance on how to proceed.

Here goes:

1) What do I do because the date quoted in the EE submission for ECA will be totally different from the ECA Certificate? Reject, edit and wait for next draw?

2) I have worked and lived in different countries in the past so knowing that I need security clearance in Nigeria, can anyone advise on how to get clearance in UK & America?

3) I currently work in a company I co-founded and knowing that there has to be reference Letter from place of work (also do I get from all my past employers), I will appreciate if anyone has a sample of the sort of letter to write plus who is it supposed to be addressed to?


Lastly, is there any other thing I should know about?

Thank you people.

Azy123:
I am yet to submit. By God's before they resume Tuesday morning work in Oz i would have submitted.

@ZoeW I have 3 sample RPL for Your friend guide. But i need to take permission from the person that sent it to me. If she says it is ok i will let you know.

Also your friend should maximize the RPL opportunity. They will deduct 6 yrs it is better if she can get reference letter or statutory declaration of work done prior & during university days so that all her experience from day of graduation from surv & geo can be used to claim points 10 points. This can save her a lot if english test stress.

As far as ACS is concerned It is in ur hands.

ZoeW:


Thanks so much!!!! Sent you a PM.

Hello everyo and congrats to everyone that receievd ITA. Please I have a couple of questions. On my international passport I have four names as stated on my NPC (birth certificate) but on my school documents and work documents I use just two or three of the names, will that be a problem?

You need to state the name as indicated on your international passport. This is the name you are known for in your country. However, There is a section for cases where people bear other names, if you do as stated, please say yes and include them. You won't be required to include your birth certificate - this is for kids, but a VO may require it especially when your name in some of your documents is the same.

When you indicate your bear other names. Don't forget to get an affidavit to show you bear other names. A document upload for other names will be indicated in your document checklist. You can include your affividate and possibly, your birth certificate to show the other names you bear

Also, You can explain using LOE to avoid confusion though, but I don't think it's necessary especially if your last name and first name is always present in all your documents.

Secondly I have funds in treasury bills enough for a single applicant and a little over a million in my statement of account, will that be fine as I expect them to add it all up.

Treasury bill certificate is a good indicator for POF. Since you have enough for one applicant, I believe you are going single, then you are good. If you want to still include your 6 months statement of account to show the other funds, even more perfect. Your POF is more than enough - More is good.

Thirdly do I need a letter of non indebtedness and reference letter from the bank ( I heard from someone that got PR that I don't but all I need is statement of account but on this thread, I read people using all of the above.) please can someone assist with a sample of the reference letter needed?

You don't need to do this.

Fourthly I want to notarize my recommendation letter from my boss but I don't know which one CIC will accept and please can anyone assist with a sample of what CIC needs?

[b]Don't know what you mean by recommendation letter. What's your boss recommending you for? Except you mean reference letter. On the other hand, why can't you get reference letter from your H.R/Admin. This is the authorized dept that can use the letter head of your company. Your boss/supervisor cannot use the letter head of your company. He can only use plain paper, sign, leave contact details and include his business card. It was previously allowed for supervisors to use company's letterhead but it's now being abused. Again, the VO will prefer to confirm if both you and your supervisor are staff members of your company. Using your supervisor is allowed when you can't get reference letter from HR.

I don't know what you are notarizing. Does the lawyer who will notarize this document can prove with all certainty that your supervisor is actually your supervisor. The VOs will do their checks if they are not satisfied, but try to get HR reference if you can. Also, you can attached a picture of you at work, just to support your case that you work in that company.[/b]

Fifth please does anyone have a sample ogbu LOE. I know it pertains to peculiar cases but please anyone that has gotten PR already can assist if anyone's that hasn't gotten doesn't feel comfortable enough.

No typical template for LOE. But you can follow the proper letter structure.

Thank you so much for all your help as usual. I am trying to prepare myself as I know m so close. Stay blessed

This thread aims at providing guide, instructions and genuine advice to prospective applicants for Australian permanent resident visa through the skilled migration program. For those looking to apply for study (student) visa, the link below will be more useful as it has enough information about applying to schools and Australian study visa. This new thread is specifically for permanent resident visa application.

Prospective students, follow this thread.. https://www.nairaland.com/2338380/general-australian-visa-enquiries-part

By way of introduction, Australia has a number of pathway to getting permanent resident status but the easiest is the skilled migration. Skilled migration, as the name implies means opportunity for both "academic skilled and technical skilled" people to migrate legally and permanently to Australia. The program was originally designed to address skill shortages in the country generally, so they came up with a system that attracts people who can meet the minimum requirements.

There are five visa subclass in the skilled migration pathway namely Subclass 189 (Independent), 190 (State sponsored), 489 (Regional/nominated provisional), 132 (Business Talent) and 188 (Business Innovation and investment, provisional). I will be talking strictly on the first three. See link for Australian Border Force's website for the skilled migration.. http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/work/Skil

The three visa subclass, 189, 190 and 489 are for professionals, technologists, artisans and trade workers who can meet up to minimum of 60points for 189, 55points for 190 and 50 points for 489. I will explain how the points are calculated, occupation list and application in the subsequent posts.

Happy Easter everyone, hope we are enjoying the holiday.
Please I need guidance to help me decide how to go about getting work reference letter from my current employer.
Because I don't intend to relocate immediately, I wouldn't like my employer to be aware of my intention so I plan on using my past promotion letters which indicate my job title and salary, in addition to job description documents of my roles and possibly a reference letter stating current role, length of service and salary for purpose of visit.

If anyone is in a similar position, how are you going about it and do you consider above will be a good alternative, also does CIC contact employer directly to confirm letters provided

Please, i need guidance for my sister on assessment as Agricultural Consultant with VETASSESS.
1. She had a BSc in Agricultural Economics and Extension (5yrs programme) and she works as Agric Extension Officer but less than 1 year. How many number of years experience is required by VETASSESS for positive assessment? I have search their site but haven't come up with the answer.

2. Is Tax clearance a must because i see it as part of required documents or will payslip be enough.

3. Can you share the JD you use for your assessment. I will PM you on this.

4. I will love to have any other info that you deem necessary on this.

Thanks

oknee:


The person they contacted was not the person that signed my reference. My advice is for you to go through your HR department cos they will most likely contact with the most senior admin officer/HR to verify the letter. They contacted him via official email address and asked him to verify if the person that signed is authorised, how much i earn monthly and if my work is full term or part time.

jamson:


Ok. I work in a bank (IT Network and Comms). I assessed under EA and my assessment outcome was fantastic. 2 of my 3 career episode was based on work experience (inside the bank ooo).

EOI....check
ITA....check

Long story short, it doesn't matter where you work. It is what you are doing or have done (as reflected in your reference, resume and episodes, if you are an engineer).

Are you a banker?

Good day house, been a silent reader but hope to participate from now. I just got ITA and will be sharing my timelines below.

ECA- Nov. 2016: this was very fast as I submitted scanned copies of transcript and degree certificates, paid international courier fee to have WES send verification letter to my school via courier. Had someone who assisted with the verification in less than 5 days of the school receiving it. Everything took about one month.
IELTS: Jan 7th, collected result Jan 20. LSWR: 8.5, 7.5, 8,8.
EE pool: Created two profile on 21 Jan. I claimed 3 years experience in one and two years in the other as I have only completed two years in my current place of work, however, I have one year experience from a different company.
CRS scores: 474 and 449 respectively.
ITA: received on both profile on 8 Feb 2017. However, I accepted the profile with 449 as it may be difficult getting reference from my former employer.

I've been gathering all documents, and POF is basically the outstanding item. My sister will be transferring the money to me and I will appreciate if anyone can give me a sample gift deed.

Thanks

Hello All,
stumbled onto this page and it has been extremely helpful. I have just gotten ITA and i had a few clarifications which I hope the house can help with:

1. For the work reference
- is it okay if it is HR department that provides the reference letter and signs it?
- or can I get one from HR plus a letter from my supervisor . The issue is that the supervisor does not have emolument details and can not use company letter-head paper.

2. For Proof of funds
- do i have to liquidate my mutual fund investment and put it in my account or can the mutual fund company write a letter for me?
- Has anyone done this with stanbic assest management and what was the process?
- Has anyone been able to get a letter from First Bank fitting CIC's requirements, and if so what was the process?

Thank you and God bless you all for the great work on this thread.

trastar:
OK.
1. Do they require both transcript and statement of result? If one doesn't have a transcript, will that mean going to the school to get one?
2. By certified true copy, where or who can do this certifying of original copies. I read somewhere some people did it 100 per page. Does that work?
Basically I'd do photocopy of each document and get it stamped ?
3. My husband is the principal applicant. He has worked in the bank for over 10 years and studied Computer science. He works as a network engineer . He def won't get a reference from the bank. So third party reference.
Could you plz help with a sample of this reference letter?
Does it have to be on company letter-head?

I had plenty other questions and I can't rmbr them right now.

Thank you.
