[quote author=Travelpes post=97333760][/quote]The ref letter he has is enough, he can mention his previous work history under personal history and he won't need a ref letter for that.

Optimistgee:

Have they also replied by post apart from just email?
Someone I know is in the same situation where school replied their email several times, they were able to call WES and they said they are waiting for a physical copy in addition to the email.

Beemer:
Hi experts. Is it sensible to change dollars now for POF or wait awhile? The current rates are scary.

I initially planned to change mine but after calculating, when I change to USD the amount goes below the required POF.
Of course my estimate of POF is based on office ngn to cad rates but I still added extra on top, even at that when I change to USD it's almost 700cad below the required. I found it baffling but I guess that's what happens when official and black market rates are so far apart.

I'm not sure whether or not it's the right decision but I've decided to keep it in naira for now

gingerbred:
Hi people, good morning.
I need some clarifications on medicals please.
How true is it that being HEP B positive will make you unqualified for express entry?
Thanks

My first thought is that this info is wrong.
This is based on what I remember reading when going through nairaland (either this thread or living in Canada thread).
Someone gave their story that their spouse or so was hep B positive. They required further tests and the extra costs came up to like 100k plus with a long delay but they finally got PPR. You could try a search and see if that story comes up.
People live for years with hep B with no issues so I doubt they would use that to dismiss someone if there is no liver damage going on. Just check to confirm sha.

How to book the appointment without an ITA is the issue here

They won't ask you for any ITA, they will send you some basic forms to fill when you book that's all

Perra:
Somebody address this issue please.

Possibly your May to April is being counted as 11 months rather than 12? Because you need at least 1 year continuous work experience in your primary NOC

DavidHume:
Its the two company i included wen filling my form. I guess i wld have to compulsorily get reference letter from both organization and i cant move one to personal history since i av gotten ItA

You can move it, the work history section is mainly for claiming points. Move the extra work history to personal history. You can add a letter of explanation if you want but I doubt it's necessary.

Cheerfulmum:
My husband who is the accompanying spouse holds 3 different positions where he work however, I noticed that there are 3 different place holder with the 3 positions held in one company. will it be right to upload same document 3 times since he has just one reference showing the dates and positions he held. He has the employment letters for the three positions. Thanks in advance

Usually it has been advised that for accompanying spouse you should answer "no" when asked if the spouse has any relevant work history, since it won't count towards points of it's not in Canada. That way they won't ask for ref letter, and you can put his work history under the personal history section.
But yes, it is right to upload the same ref letter in each of the placeholders. It feels weird but you can.

alegria07:
Please I will like to know if getting COPR invalidate your present Canadian visitor or student visa till you get the PR card.

Since many of us here are yet to land, it might not be the best place to get answers.
Based on what I've read in the living in canada thread, if you're already in canada when you get COPR you can just go to any of the service canada offices to do your "landing procedures" and then wait for your PR card. Once you do your landing, you're a PR whether you have received your card or not. If your friend can't wait for the card before travelling to Nig, then she can travel and then apply for a PR travel document before returning, or get someone to bring her PR card to Nig for her, or even send it by courier for her. Not sure how the PRTD is done or how long it takes (you can check IRCC website for that).
Anyway I suggest you ask your question on the living in Canada thread for better/more accurate information.

wondychiqe:
Please my husband has an HND and PGD. He is the secondary applicant, I only evaluated his PGD as per the higher qualification. Am I on the right path?
Will it be defined as 2 or more certificates? Or do I need to evaluate HND too?

I think you should also evaluate the HND in order to claim 2 or more. You can go ahead and contact the evaluating body to add the HND. This is based on my knowledge from reading messages on this forum. Good luck

Chikabel:
Hello Chief... Greetings.
I'm a medic as well.
Can I send you a PM?

Please any useful info you get, share it with us
I've combed the living in canada thread but not much there for doctors

MaamCita:
Is there anyone with NOC 1241. Need advice regarding the roles and responsibilities letter please.
NOC 1241 (B) is very similar to NOC 1411 (C).

I'm no expert and it's not my NOC but from what I'm seeing even though there are similar roles, NOC 1241 has more responsibilities e.g "set up filing systems" while the 1411 only files according to existing systems, "answer phone calls", "edit and proofread correspondence" as compared to 1411 that only prepares reports (probably gets proofread by a senior). All in all, 1241 looks more like the work of a secretary while 1411 more like office hands, helping around but no senior responsibilities.
I assume you're asking because you want to use 1241 but don't want it to be deemed as wrong NOC when compared with 1411. I'd advise your job description in your ref letter should include some key words that show some decision making and responsibility in your duties.

alestar04:
Hi house,
I need some clarification. The second name on my passport is different from the one on my birth certificate. I need to attach my birth certificate for proof of sibling. Is this an issue?

I'd advise you to get a one and the same affidavit from high court. On your eAPR form they will ask whether you have ever had any other name and of course you'll choose yes, the system will require you to upload proof of "name change", you can the upload the affidavit there. Getting one is usually quite straightforward.

Emerald86:
Good evening all, please I have been trying to log into my cic account but can't, I even tried creating another one but it still returns me back to home page after creating the account, and not a page to fill the form. However my SINP is still accessible but ircc isn't. Please what do I do?

Hi, have you gotten access? They had issues with their website recently but they did maintenance, it might work if you clear your cookies. Check their Twitter page

ogbeniDM:
thank you, do you have an idea of the rate barter uses

474 to $1 (USD) as at today. Haven't used the card yet sha but I downloaded the app.

Jacknn:
Please I have few questions to ask as I'm just begging the process

1) I intend using both so as to claim points for 2 or more degrees:;

2) I intend learning French to boast my score

3) I have 3 years experience including NYSC, but just 1 continuous yrs of experience

1. Yes it is considered 2 or more so evaluate both together
2. Learning French probably has a lot to do with personal abilities, I don't know about scores but there is a TEF thread on nairaland where you should be able to get more info
3. Yes you need a minimum of 1 year continuous, and the rest can be fragmented. You don't need to submit bank statements as proof of salary payment, your reference letter from your employer in IRCC format will include your salary and the ref letter is sufficient.

Hallos. Here are the steps. Go to UAE website. Fill a form and download the finger print paper. Go to police station, do your fingerprint. Police verifies it. Go to the UAE commission, embassy in Abuja. They stamp it. Mail to Dubai police dept (i guess the ministry of interior). I hope this helps. Shalom

That's what we've done so far. I guess they are wrong to be turning us away at the UAE embassy but I have argued tire. I will just carry on and see how it goes. Thank you so much for your help and thanks to your friend too

Wonderful! God bless you.

bekayy:
don't worry i have asked her already even before seeing this msg. When she gets to me, i will relay her message to you. Finger crossed. We shall overcome.

bekayy:
Oh my. I am sorry for all the walaha. I had an Emirates ID so just like yours, it took a day.
My friend on the other hand, had to send her finger prints via DHL, go to the UAE embassy here to verify it. Please go to the embassy here. it can be done unless it has changed from 2 years ago.

Please could you tell me exactly what form she took to get stamped? As in on what form did she take her fingerprints? We've been to the embassy several times, they refused to stamp his own because it was a form sent by Dubai government for us to take the fingerprints. Even though the fingerprints were taken and stamped here... it just doesn't make sense. That they can't stamp something issued by UAE gov't. They sent us away from the door. If you could please help me get info on exactly what she did, it will be really helpful.

bekayy:
What's wrong??
Any hassles.??.UAE PCC takes a day. Go to the minstery of interior website.

Were you able to do it from ministry of interior? I wasn't able to, don't remember exactly what the challenge was but it seemed it would be easier for someone who is still in the UAE.
Anyway after struggling with MOI website, I went to Dubai police website (though more expensive) and did my own easily with my old Emirates ID number. I have gotten mine, received it within a few hours.
My husband never had an Emirates ID (as he left there over 9 yrs ago before it became a thing) so he has to send his fingerprints. That's where the wahala is now because it has to be stamped from their embassy here and they say they don't stamp such. It's been a struggle because no one has been able to give us straightforward info. Finally sha they said they will stamp a Nig police report so we're doing a new one for them.

My Timeline
July - Got married and jumped into the pool next day CRS - 482
ITA - Aug 5
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!

I'm so inspired by this. Such a short processing time, no hitches and it's even with the dreaded AVO.
I've been delayed almost a month in submitting my application due to issues getting a UAE police report for my husband... this unnecessary delay has really demoralised me.
I tap into your blessings! I need it.

Yes, they do track any changes with EE profile vs PR application. The main issue is that whatever you changes you make should not decrease your score. Some people misrepresent to gain extra scores... Since it was a mistake and your score is not affected, just explain it with an LOE. I have seen the same advice several times after combing through this forum. Hopefully seniors will correct me if I'm wrong.

Zinzu:
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

AyeeshaB:
I have already passed my limit for the month ($100)on all my naira cards thats why I ask, but maybe I would use my husbands account or something.
Thanks

If by any chance you still have a UK card (or know someone who has), you can send money directly to the account using OhentPay app and use the card to pay.

This makes sense, and I wondered whether it's necessary as well. The reference letter is stated as mandatory which is why I don't want to leave it out. The only extra thing here is the letter of non indebtedness, may not be needed but I felt more comfortable adding it since I couldn't get the required format of the reference letter and part of the things mentioned in the format is something along the lines of that they have to state "you don't owe the bank anything". Even without this letter I would only upload gift deed, my bank statement and the ref letter they gave me.

slydog:
Are all these necessary?
I believe in keeping application very simple and short.
Myself, I only uploaded my bank fixed deposit certificate and pension statement of account with reference letter from the pension company (mainly because of the 25% we can access from pension)
Yours is a gift deed, do you need letter of non indebtedness? Or even reference letter from the bank? Why not just get the deed, get the statement of account where the money came from and your own statement of account to show it's in your account, then maybe a reference letter that says you are the sole owner of the account, not even necessary to me.

Nikkybeth:
Wow. My branch bluntly refused saying the reference letter cannot be altered. I'm now confused. Should I go back and keep insisting or should I use the letters I have and explain it. This thing is supposed to be easy and straight forward but I guess some people like to make things difficult. Same bank with staff giving conflicting info as if they don't have the same training. I'm just tired. Who knows maybe they gave you what you requested be cause you're already abroad. Sorry I'm just venting�

I have the same issue, went to the bank (first bank) with the format and everything, asked two different staff on different days and they said there's nothing they can do, that's their policy. That they won't give out a letter with such info, I can only attach my bank statement to the letter. So I accepted the reference letter like that, asked for letter of non-indebtedness as which I will attach with my bank statement and gift deed. I searched nairaland and saw some other stories of people that did the same, so I decided to do that and hope for the best. I will also add the explanation to my LOE.

Pabodan:
Hello All,
Please I just realize that my job description in one of my places of work I intend to use for work reference (a primary health centre) for NOC 3113 (Dentist) does not closely match the NOC job description, majorly because I did not carry our any procedures (such as scaling and polishing, filing, extraction etc.). This is because the primary health centre does not have the relevant equipment. So most of what I did were examining patients with dental and oral complaints, administer drugs, refer to tertiary hospitals where the case is beyond what we could manage, Management of pediatric patients (Dietary counselling, fluoride therapy) and Oral health education. However, most of the other activities I carried out closely match that of Physician Assistant, which is part of NOC 3124 (Allied primary health practitioners). Even though I am a Dentist by training, do you then think I should change my NOC to 3124 post ITA, or leave at NOC 3113, based on the explanations above.

My humble opinion - please use NOC 3113. I think for us doctors there isn't much else you can be except a doctor when it comes to job duties... you will notice that your main duties match the lead statement of 3113. Even though there are some matches with 3124, I think 3113 is a better match. Not all doctors perform procedures/surgeries, and I can see that's the main thing missing there. You prescribed medications right? Please add that (use prescribe, not 'administer', I believe those are 2 different things). Also add "diagnose" eg "examine and diagnose patients with oral complaints". You should include something along the lines of "supervising other staff" (the last statement in 3113) which you likely would have done working with nurses, assistants etc. (Guidance on page 1 says it should match lead statement and essential duties).

Mirian91:
Please gurus in the house I need your advice. Do you think it is right to proactively do PCC and book for medicals before ITA. My crs is above 475 and may likely get me ITA soon. What else do you think I can get before ITA comes. Thank you

Yes please go ahead. Get all the required documents.

Datshmates:
They weren’t denied for misrepresentation as they were also told to reapply in the next 90 days.
Our concern is, is she going to state during Canada documentation that she was married before, since that was what they submitted while applying for US visa 6 years ago

Was she actually married at the time? Be careful about lying to cover up old lies. If she wasn't I don't see why you should say she was. Of course you will mention the denial and the reason. But if it was a legal marriage they did and they had to get a divorce, then I guess she would say she was married before. This is my opinion. Good luck

Okay, sorry I don't know much about that, maybe others can help. I think there's also another thread for PNPs you can do a search and see.

TishTon:
Thanks for responding @shadama.
It's for SINP

May we know why you need to show POF if you're not the principal applicant? That may fetch you an answer.

TishTon:
Please I need advice on steps to take.
I moved funds from my account to my child's account linked to my BVN. Can I print her statement of account and use as POF or should I transfer back to my account before printing the bank statement.
Kindly note that I am not the principal applicant.
Thank you

@Ih123

Thank you so much for your help, I contacted ASP Stella for my PCC. Lovely lady. Though I haven't received it yet due to the Lagos protests, I hope to get it soon.

lawyerintransit:
Do you know if your endorser was ever contacted by the police?

I had to confirm first, she was not contacted at all.
