Grand total = 463

May 17th 2017 - CRS Score - 415

Mavor:
I believe it fell to 413 in March or May this year if I'm not mistaken.

it seems @Kontagious have broken a record of the number of Congratulations on this thread... Its shows you are a good person. Congrats once again

Beginning with 310,000 new permanent residents in 2018, and growing to 330,000 in 2019 and 340,000 in 2020, this plan sets out the most ambitious immigration levels in recent history. This measured, gradual increase will trend towards one percent of the population by 2020, spurring innovation and representing a major investment in Canada’s prosperity, now and into the future.

Please go with
Central Intake Office (CIO)
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
Sydney, Nova Scotia
Canada.

koonlay5:
Do you suggest the job reference is addressed to CIO or Ghana or simply "to whom it may concern"

Based on permutation, Its either Friday 3rd or Wednesday 8th.

Note that Canada government is expected to publish its Immigration Levels Plan for 2018 (maybe tomorrow)

MippiShick:
Lower CRS at the next draw will be good o (Xmas bonanza for us). When is the next draw likely to be released?

Exactly what i am thinking but then... CIC is CIC! Very unpredictable

Santino1:
I hope so for everyone's sake. Moreover, the lowest CRS under those two streams in May was 775 (PNP) and 400 (FST), thus CRS at the next draw may be even lower than the 413 seen in May.

There are two draws today

Provincial Nominee Program - 673

Federal Skilled Trades Program - 241


No Federal draw as of now

Implication is likely a very _{low CRS score} for FSW. Going by what happened in May

area74:
Please house, what is the latest draw for the express entry? I checked CIC site and I'm seeing two different cut off points. 673 and 241

Why do you need to reduce the size of your IELTS TRF so small?

phf2be:
Hello friends, for those who used an online tool like smallpdf to merge files, how did you treat your IELTS TRF? Mine gets blurry and distorted. Please help!

Choi.... The one weak me oooo...

If you share the scenario here, it might help others...

12go:
Abeg I no want derail this thread with a particular scenario. I would be glad if an expert with EE things can contact me.

I dont think who you address it to really matter.. Some people have used to whom it may concern.

jelmusboy:
Thank you very much for this. Since I may likely not apply in Nigeria as I am currently in the UK, should I address to UK embassy or I should still apply to Accra embassy because am a Nigerian?

For those asking for IELTS materials, I have uploaded some materials and its available on. I will update them as soon as i get more materials

PPR Mail around the corner...

MRSDA:
Congratulations Kontagious!

After being on NA2 since Sept 20, saw some movement in our application. Two days ago, a mail about preparing for jobs in Canada

And today, woke up to find out the additional documents have changed to "We do not need additional documents"

Anyone knows what to expect now?

Now i think the conspiracy theories are correct oo.

ITA and AOR seems to be the magic for fast PPR.

Lemme quickie get all my documents and almighty POF ready

K O N T A G I O U S.... Congratulations

Will be back with a long post!

Bros/Madam... When you say scheduled to meet with the US consulate, i want to assume that it is a visa appointment. Whether Study or visit!

If you are not sure about the forthcoming visa appointment, just cancel or reschedule to a later date, maybe early next year.

IF you fail to attend a US Visa interview, its not a visa refusal because your application has not been assessed orally.

greatlifeis89:
Hello everyone,

Please I need your advise.

By God's grace and all things being equal, I should get ITA before the end of the year. However, I am scheduled to meet with the US consulate in Nov for a USA visiting visa, and something inside me is skeptical about the outcome.

Please provide your comment/advise on the below salient points:

1. If I decide not to honour the schedule meeting with the consulate, will it be treated as a non-appearance/visa application rejected?
2. if it is treated as non-appearance, what impact would it have on my CIC EE application?
3. If it will be treated as visa application rejected, and I disclose it in my application, would it have any negative impact on CIC EE application (considering (a) the closeness to the CIC EE application and (b) CIC refused to grant me Study visa last year).

My ultimate priority is the CIC EE and I wont love to do anything to jeopardize it. I will appreciate advise and contribution from everyone.

There is no risk to it at all

Thanks smslive2. Is it not safer to have everything in my account? The application fee plenty o.

As the PA, I want the funds to be in an account with my name to reduce risks. What do you think?

I dont think you need to liquidate the investment. The certificate of FD is enough proof with a letter of authority from your wife that the funds are unencumbered.

dane15:
Please my people still on the POF matter.

I want to apply by December 2017 and my wife has the POF as a fixed deposit in her account. If she transfers to me by first week of November 2017, I will have had the POF for a maximum of 2 months by the time I apply.
From what I have read on the thread, a Letter of explanation alone from my wife should suffice as a backup.
I want to liquidate the investment yet. My question now is, can I wait till a day or a week before I apply before liquidating the investment so that my wife can transfer to me.

I would like to know if there is anyone with a similar experience and did you get PR at the end of the day?

48hrs and its free

ysmd:
Hello how long does it take to get a resonse from them. And is this request free?

As of October 24, 2017, children under the age of 22 are considered as dependents on all immigration programs administered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), including for economic migrants and refugees.

damidamsel:
A beautiful morning to you all.....

Chai...wish i was about to give my PPR testimony speech, e for sweet. Lol . Coming soon....

On the contrary, I'll like to find out on behalf of a friend if it's possible to adopt an 18 year old orphaned nephew and add to their application. The nephew has been living with them for a long time now. Their application has been submitted and they are at NA2 and POF is more than enough to accommodate another person. If possible, please how can they go about it? The parents' death certificates are available.

Thanks as i await all your responses
