LadyGuinivere: Well, not like she didn't follow d rules or belong to a forum. She downloaded d form early 4th morning whereas the forms were edited in the afternoon. The CIC site said forms wud be changed on d 4th so I don't blame her.
It was a sad errorn which humans unfortunately are prone to.
CIC don't change the rules overnight. They've given ntice they were going to change some of the application forms.

So she was partly to be blamed for “hastily” sending her application without taking cognisance of the changes which have been announced.

pauloman: just follow simple instructions and you would not be used as a scape goat lol
What many people don't know is CIC will be very strict with conformity to the rules. You follow the instructions then you are home and dry,you refuse to adhere and you face the music.

The checklist as well as seeking info from a forum like this before sending application will be helpful.

jasminehunny: Hi,i just got my IELTS result and it was excellent. I have been trying to apply on the WES website but it keeps asking for a reference number which i do not have. I intend to print out the 'transcript request form' and take to school in 2days time to request for my transcript. Please how did u get ur reference number for WES and how did u pay for the evaluation. The website seem to be so busy and im confuse.Please help! thnx
You don't have to post the same question several times!

You will get your reference number when you pay your application fee on WES website.

You can pay with your Naira debit card if you have one.

bayo1: @ solomonwis, thanks for your response.
My question is this - There are portions of the forms that expect applicants to state their current occupation title. In my own case, my current job title is IP Architect as earlier mentioned. But this title is not among the list, do I have to change it to conform with one of the job titles in the list, e.g. engineer, network system? Or should I fill my current job title?
You will state it as it is. That is, you will state your occupation as your current designation. This is because you will need to provide a work reference that will state your present designation and job description.

This however has to conform to the NOC list. You will state the eligible occupation and code under which you want your application assessed in form IMMM0008.

bayo1: @ solomonwis

Please on form IMMM5604E (Declaration from non-accompanying parent/guardian for minors). Do I need to fill this form for my kids? I already noted that my kids would be accompanying with my spouse in other forms, so I don't have any non-accompanying parent/guardian.
Do I also need to conform my job titles with the titles on the NOC list? For instance, my current job title is IP Architect, and looking at the NOC list, i can't find that particular title there but have other titles that match my IT/Telecoms experiences.
Thanks

Your occupation must be one of the eligible occupations as listed on the cic website. The NOC job title must also be as listed on www.cic.gc.ca

I have noticed that a great number of people ignore what is on the NOC website just so they can "scale through" and pass off their occupation as being eligible.

You need to read through the NOC website to know the NOC title, the job description/job requirements as well as qualifications and experiences that qualify under each title.

You will not want to throw away your hard earned money as well as the experience the traumatic experience that follow suit when one's application is turned down.

You have to tailor your work experience to suit what is expected of each eligible occupation as listed on the NOC (Read more here http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/Introduction.aspx}.

For your occupation, what is closely related and listed on the eligible occupation is •2147 Computer engineers (except software engineers/designers).

You can only apply under this eligible occupation if your work experience and qualifications match what is stated on the NOC website. Note that the following job titles are listed as qualified under Computer Engineers:

application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design engineer
capacity planner, network
capacity planning analyst
computer engineer
computer engineer (except software)
computer hardware engineer
computer systems engineer
computer telecommunications specialist
data communications specialist
engineer, computer (except software)
engineer, computer hardware
engineer, hardware
engineer, network systems
engineer, optical communications
engineer, optical communications hardware
engineer, telecommunications hardware
fibre-optic network designer
hardware circuit board designer
hardware design engineer
hardware development engineer
hardware engineer
hardware specialist, telecommunications
hardware technical architect
microprocessor designer and application engineer
microwave systems engineer
microwave transmission systems engineer
network architect – computer systems
network designer – computer systems
network engineer, communication hardware
network specialist – computer systems
network systems engineer
network test engineer
optical communications engineer
optical communications hardware engineer
optical systems engineer – telecommunications
radio systems engineer
satellite data transmission engineer
spacecraft electronics engineer – hardware
specialist, telecommunications hardware
systems designer – hardware
technical architect – hardware
telecommunications engineer
telecommunications hardware engineer
telecommunications hardware specialist
telecommunications specialist – computer systems
telecommunications systems specialist
wireless communications network engineer


(Please read more here http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=2147)

You can then determine if you qualify under any of the listed occupations classified as Computer Engineer.

You don't need to fill that form.

Form IMMM5604E is for people who are taking other people's children {minors} along with them to Canada. It is more like a consent letter releasing their wards to people who are moving down to Canada.

sportico: Pls,am I to send all my degree certificate together with my transcript.And while WES evaluation is going on can I go on with my FSW online application?Thanks
You are only requested to send in your degree certificates and other certificates acceptable to WES while the issuing institutions are requested to send the transcripts directly without your interference.

You cannot apply for the FSWP until all your documents are ready. You cannot apply for FSWP online,you have to dispatch your application to the CIO in Nova Scotia.

Hope this help....

Does the course I study have to be part of the listed Federal Skilled Workers program courses?

I studied Marketing, Can i still apply?

Then I heard dat FS no longer gets special or expedited preference. They now get the same review period with GS.

Do I have to write the Test of English before application or after?

Thanks for the anticipated response.

ferdimako: Is IELTS one of the documents they pre-assess? I think you should wait until after a positive assessment before you start investing more time and resources.You're my test-date mate...am for Academic in Abuja.Good luck to us!
IELTS{General Training} is a quintessential part of not just the requirements but also a necessity to being positively assessed.

You should get your IELTS ready and include that in the application to be forwarded to the CIO in Nova Scotia.

@Bwave, Pauloman and LadyGuinivere have said it all.

sperony: Does this matter if my fixed deposit is done few weeks before my application though the period is for six moths or there about?
It doesn't matter if it was done few weeks before application. At this stage they are not looking at the sequence of transactions but at the availability of the fund. You can decide to submit a fixed deposit account if you like.

However,you have to be prepared to submit a statement of accounts covering a period of one year detailing transactions with which your personal financial circumstances may be verified much later during the processing of your application.

At this stage you can say your onward sojourn to Canada is about 70% complete!

LadyGuinivere: ?
University of Nigeria
Nigerian Law School
U also want d letter from WES? undecided huh ??
I wouldn't know what you are insinuating asking if I want the letter from WES sad

I just want to bring your attention to the fact that you are only advised of the stages of assessment/evaluation.
You are not supposed to be a party to the correspondences between your schools and WES. Some people don't even have the luxury of time to shuttle between their places of residence and their school. You sure can ask your school to expedite action in responding to mails from WES but beyond this,you can't do anything.

Just out of curiosity,you studied Law,but that occupation is not in the eligible occupation list for May 2013 to April 2014 session....or you have experience in an eligible occupation other than Law?

thebaft: @LadyGuinivere, Did WES contact your naija school for verification via e-mail or via post? Also, did you have to follow up with your school or did your school verify your documents without your intervention? Thanks.
Although your question is directed at LadyGuinivere,I can provide an insight while she answer your question.

You are not supposed to be in the know of the information shared between WES and your institution. The can decide to verify whatever document via whatever means/medium deemed necessary to confirm the authenticity or otherwise of your credentials.

I have a case of somebody who decided to notarize his transcripts and sent the documents to WES for evaluation and assessment,WES rejected the transcripts!

Let your mind be at rest as long as what was sent by you and your educational institution(s) are genuine.

You will never be informed of the correspondences between your educational institution and WES or any other body authorised to carry out a credentials assessment/evaluation either by mail/post/email or whatever medium necessary.

ferdimako: The truth is alot of Nigerians are not qualified. Qualified ones do not know how to go about it and may be reluctant to pay an immigration attorney. How many folks want to do IELTS GT? How many can pass it, I mean from 7 above in all bands?
Nigerians have what it takes and are qualified for the FSWP. It is not compulsory paying an immigration consultant,the purpose of this thread is to provide basic step by step approach to simplifying the application process based on information available on www.cic.gc.ca and the experiences of people.

Nigerians and of course people outside Nigeria can write and score above band 7. As a matter of fact,I've written both General IELTS and Academic IELTS,I've never scored anything less than band 7.5 aggregate. If I can do it with the little time I had to prepare for the exams surely others can do better.

I have decided to let thing lie low by not responding to your comments.

This forum is for people to learn and not about personality. Nobody is an island of knowledge and so,we must learn to learn from each other.

I insist that he provide the "correction attached" from CIC. I don't see anything wrong in me asking him to provide proof. If you think I am harsh,that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I PROMISE TO APOLOGISE ONLY IF HE PROVIDE the "correction attached" proving me wrong.If not,I remain resolute to say he should not get people confused.

If by your judgement,I killed this forum (I wouldn't know how you came by that anyways) it will be wrong to say/conclude.

pauloman: Yes bro...she really does not have to send an account statement. On the document checklist there are 3 alternative means of showing proof of funds to the visa officer when sending to CIO in Nova Scotia.

1. Savings account statement
2. Current account statement
3. Time or fixed deposit certificate

Anything beyond these three means are not acceptable. I sent a time deposit statement of one million when i applied and a savings account statement of about 700k then. But you can send any one of the above as proof of settlement funds
I actually needed you to state it clearly just as you've done above. This is for the benefit of some people who think they can totally ignore proof of settlement funds at the initial stage of application.

Well done sir!

pauloman: Oh Mercylicious ! Good to hear from you ! Am i glad your profession is there? I sure am very elated about it ! Yes ! So one hurdle scaled already and sorry about your present condition.

Yes you sure can apply with the computer engineering NOC category but make sure your work duties are in tandem with that of the NOC stated work duties or which ever you choose to apply with.

This is your time Mercy ! Dont waste it and act fast !! Forget about those failed visa attempts,once your profession is on the eligible list of occupations you are almost secured of getting your PR as long as you package your documents well and follow instructions to the core. Please start gathering your documents and put your mind for next immigration fiscal year to submit because those that will make the 300 cap for this year are those that have started gathering and preparing to submit from last year. Its a pretty fierce battle now i must confess.

On your account stuff: You really dont need to send an account statement for now. You can liquidate some of your investement and fix it in a time deposit and then send them a copy of your time deposit certificate as proof of funds. If you are applying as single then 1.8million naira will do just fine. After a while you can build your account in preparation for when a one year account statement will be requested from you for the embassy to be sure that you are very well prepared for your trip to canada. This means that your visa is about to be issued. Then you present an account statement with good cash flow and a final balance above or exactly the 1.8million naira.

Yes you will need to send them a copy of your transcripts because its on the document checklist

So dont dull...step on it and move ! All the best dear !!
Sir,did you just say she doesn't need to send an account statement now?
Travel › Re: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by solomonwis(op): 9:56am On May 20, 2013
pauloman: True ! But when applying to the embassy it is always good to play on the safe side. Besides when we talk about notarization of documents it encompasses educational documents like transcripts and degree certificates,secondary school credentials,travel documents like photocopy of your data page and more. Remember the ECA only covers post secondary credentials.
I like your spirit!

Let's get a fact right,simply because you notarize your documents does not give ABSOLUTE back that those documents are genuine. I know for a fact that it is only when you translate original documents from other languages to English language it is then mandatory to notarize.

Those assessing authorities have the power to authenticate the genuity or otherwise of credential submitted. They must contact the issuing educational institutions directly for authenticity. This is much more than what notarization can do. Many people have notarized “
Fake” documents and the VO will no longer be deceived by mere notarization,hence the need for educational credentials assessment.

It is left to whoever wants to notarize to do so WHEN IT COMES TO FSWP,NOTARIZATION IS NOT EQUAL TO AUTHENTICATION.

pauloman: Bro it is very necesary to get all your photocopied documents notarized please. Even if not told but its clearly stated in the application guide,notarizing all photocopied documents shows sincerity and openness indicating that your documents are genuine and has been sighted by an authorized and qualified notary public,which puts the mind of the VO at rest of any shady documents especially coming from Nigeria.


On the police cerficate. It is meant to be sent to the CIO office in Nova Scotia and even after your application has been deemed eligible,the embassy or corresponding visa office will ask you to resend another police cerficate even more than once depending on how long your application is being processed. I remember sending mine up to 3 or 4 times before i finally got my visa approved.
There is NEED for notarization but not a MUST.

You can choose to notarize if you've got the money. Until you are asked to do so it is ABSOLUTELY unnecessary!

You must understand the reasoning behind Educational Credentials Assessment{ECA} is not just to know if your qualification is equivalent to a Canadian qualification but also to verify the authenticity of such documents. Hence the need for your educational institutions to send credentials directly to the assessing authorities.(I'm sure at your time,there was nothing like ECA}.

The argument therefore is whether it is a MUST or not.

Until you are told to send originals{which I doubt} or notarized copies of your credentials,it is absolutely unnecessary. Your application will not be rejected simply because your credentials were not notarized!

Was your eligible occupation “music”,“DBC” or “Geology”? Because I see those are your areas of specialization.

I have attached a checklist from cic website (you can view my earlier posts),if you have anything to the contrary you can prove it by sending us documentary evidences such as the “correction attached” so others can learn from your “wealth of experience”. You can of course remove personal details.until then,the checklist on the cic website will remain valid for the purpose of FSWP.

Do not confuse us with your “experience” if you can not provide documentary evidence to invalidate what is clearly stated on the checklist and the CIC website.

I wish you the best in your music career!
