Please i need a clarification on something, if you could help ask that person who was resident in UK and issued PR.

How did they go about the Police Clearance for Nigeria?
Did they go through Nigerian Embassy or did they just download the PCC form and put their fingerprint and sent to Alagbon?

If they downloaded the form online, Did they include the fingerprint page on their application or just the certificate?

Thanks

Guys please I need to ask a question about proof of funds for PR. So basically I am in the UK and at the moment do not have the money in my account at the moment, please tell me they don't do that 28 day rule saying the money has to be in your account for a certain period of time before you apply.. Since I am in the UK I am confused as to where I should have the required money, in my Nigerian account or UK account. Please help a sister out. THANK YOU.

I am not into IT, but i suggest you google jobs in your field in Canada. The job vacancies would likely have somethings in common like certfications or certain required skills. The same keywords maybe used when HR reps are browsing through hundreds of resumes.

Thanks a lot. But it's only about 60% of the money tht will be fixed, the rest will be coming from my husband. He'll pay it into my account and accompany it with an LOE. Do you think that's acceptable and will he need to submit his account statement?.

pls need an advice am just starting my EE process and I employed the use of an immigration consultant with 50% payment made, it was along d line that I discovered that I don't really need their service as there presence is not going to influence any thing I just sat for my ielts and my credentials are under going assessment, at this point I thought I should opt out as non of my doc is in there custody, base on the info gotten from here there is no big deal if filing my profile to CIC. my self owing to the fact that there are still financial commitment to be incurred during the process. pls I hope my action won't invalidated my profiles for bridge of agreement I plan to tell them am suspending the process to raise fund. sorry for the long text.

Hello everyone, I first would like to say thanks to the initiators of this thread, you've been a blessing to so many. I've been silently following for a while now and now I have a question about POF.
My husband and I are planning on applying soon but the money that we're required to have in our accounts will be coming in two or three instalments. We don't want the money sitting in the account for 6 months before beginning, so we were advised to invest some of it in bonds or put it in a fixed deposit and get a certificate or a statement. While the rest of it will be in my account and will be accompanied by an LOE from my husband that he's the one providing the funds since I am the PA.
Please I would like to know if this is sound advice. We are a family of 3, myself, hubby and our 1yr old.
Thanks

As am typing this I'm at Montreal International airport awaiting my last connecting flight to Edmonton in the next 6hrs. To God be the glory we have landed successfully as permanent residents.

Hi. If you're married, you have 2 options. (i) selecting married and say YES to spouse accompanying and ur spouse may or may not help u get d extra marks u need to beef up ur CRS depending on if u have great points or not. OR (ii) selecting married and say NO to accompanying spouse and ur CRS will be computed like as if u were a single applicant BUT you cannot come back to add ur spouse. Also, you cannot add ur spouse after ITA when your marriage date is date before ITA. That is misrepresentation. The only situation u can add spouse after ITA is when ur wedding/marriage was actually after ITA. And sure ur marriage certificate will corroborate the dates.
If you're considering saving cost by doing just one of ECA or IELTS for spouse, I'll rather let spouse do IELTS at lesser cost and aim at getting the maximum points of 20 than doing ECA at higher cost with plenty stress of transcript application and the maximum points spouse can get is 10 even with a PhD degree.

There's no experience is the best teacher in this matter. If you add your spouse after AOR, you have misrepresented and may earn yasef a nice long ban. Because all your marriage documents will show you got married before the AOR date.

Some choose to say their spouses aren't accompanying. I don't know for sure how that works. Maybe sponsorship after you have landed? That's another long thing.

Enter pool with the 425 and keep your fingers crossed or convince your spouse to take the exam.
Those are your three options.

Hephgirl:
Looks like u don't get... U can't add ur spouse after Aor if u r married.
Convince ur spouse to write... While u jump into d pool...

Farefare:
I beg to differ. To the best of my knowledge, Option one is possible to the extent that you will be allocated points as a 'single' applicant if you have an 'unaccompanying' spouse'; meaning no need for ielts nor eca from spouse and you still maintain a high score.

jergins:
As advised by Abby2017...

Option 1 is not possible,

Your best bet is option 2, enter pool with 425, start spouse ECA that should get you 10 points..totalling 435 which should be ok, to get ITA. with that you dont need spouse IELTS.

Abby2017:
Congrats on your IELTS result.
Since you are married, you do not have the opportunity to apply as single, so scenario 1 is out of the way which leaves you with option 2 only.
I suggest you enter the pool with your projected CRS of 425 while you try to convince your spouse to write IELTS to boost your score. You can't tell if the cutoff will drop below 425 while you are at it.
All the best.
