Good one. Congrats

Japhet04:
but the lips is having a negative psychological impact on my social life...from what I read online it would continue spreading...it is definitely going to affect my legal career. Imagine I am handling a case in court and the judge and jury are busy focusing on my Vitiligo lips... Who would want to employ me with my kind of lips

Let them focus. Firs time they will focus. Next time they will focus, next time they are used to it.

Who told you they will solely be focusing on your lips or any part of your body? They are listening to the words you are speaking bro.

I beg you oh. One of my bosses back then was albino. He was the most confident lawyer I ever saw. Sooooooooooo damn confident. Oga, please work on your confidence. God bless you

Japhet04:
I noticed the symptoms of Vitiligo on my lips around August last year..At first it was just a small patch but subsequently it began to spread to other parts of my lip and also outside the lower lip.


Please nairalanders help me with any advice that might be helpful to save a brother.

OP, i believe i have read something from you (it was definitely a law student) about this condition on this same Nairaland. If you are not the one then apologies.
Bro, worse things have happened to people. Its only on your lips and you are freaking out now. Please try to be calm. I know it is easier to type than go through it but all i'm trying to say is that, vitiligo is not a reason for suicide. It is not an infectious disease. It is not ebola or even HIV. Even those with HIV are taking their drugs and living well to the glory of God.

If i were you, i would begin to invest in my self confidence biggggggggggggg time. You will need it for the plenty days ahead bro
You are unique bro and greatly loved by your family and friends who truly know you
Why worry about what they would say in court or in your law firm? Again i say you are unique. Use your uniqueness to your advantage
Stand out, stand tall, polish your craft. A beautiful heart and confidence in yourself will always set you apart. God bless you

Ethelia:
our hearts desires according to His will.

Thank you all so very much!

Well spoken. Congrats again. You deserve the outpour of support and love. You have been truly giving on this thread just like some others. Thanks for the legal angle questions you help with

Crowndit:
Good morning good people. Congratulations to those who have received PPR and those who recently had an ITA.
Glory to God I received an ITA this week. However I need your advise on when to submit my application which is near set except for our medicals. My wife is due to have our daughter in July. The question is should I submit our application before she is born or wait till after she is born.
I will appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks

Be advised of new timelines for submission.

But please note the 60 days affects ITA gotten AFTER 26th June 2018. This should not affect you as last ITA was on the 25th of June 2018. You have 90 days sir. The choice on how to proceed from here now rests with you. No pressure sir.

Fantastic testimony. Good morning all

DrStrangelove:
Thanks Elfmannisback and Stonecold, i really appreciate ur replies and directions.


Now my question is, whats the story for the absence of work experience from Jan 2014- Oct 2016 (minus the childbirth part) knowing well that the chambers part is out of it?

Also the insurance job brings the work experience period to 2 yrs by Oct 2018. With this, we are at 407. We are planning on good score in IELTS which ll bring us to 451. What do u advise i go ahead with knowing the info above?
God bless

Since you guys have chosen as a family to discard the chamber work, then you can put it under personal history and not part of her employment history. That way, you don't get to claim points for the 9 months at the chamber but even then, it is evident that during that period she was working somewhere. There is no harm in that. Good luck with your IEELTS

mcstan18:
I think you should go ahead and submit your application if/when it is obvious that the passports wouldn't be ready before submission deadline. Raise a CSE to add them when they're ready. Do not let this pus you into declining this ITA, especially if your CRS score has dropped (below 440) since you got your ITA.

I am sincerely weary of this mcstan.

Hello peeps,
Just an update that we got our COPR today!!
Ready for collection mail: 26th June
COPR and PP collected: 27th June.

I wish everyone waiting at one stage or the other in this Canada journey Godspeed.

It will end in praise!

On to the next phase....Whewww!.

I don't know about you but this is my mood right now.

Who's next?

Elfmannisback:
Nobody is expatiating anything.. Search for it. It is on the part 3 or on the page 0. GlitteringStar, didn't u do a thing when different eligible NOCs are combined?

Bro, I could hv dropped link for him but I want him to go back to page 0 and search the answers himself. Its all there.

More PPR news please. I'm ready today. I dey off work

DrStrangelove:
She has worked there since october 2016. Someone also mentioned something about 2 NOCs, can someone expantiate on this.

Good one. Pity circumstance wouldn't allow her use the law firm but nothing spoil. It remains your choice.

Sir, please visit page 0 and click the blue link "the following people's timeline helped in answering some frequently asked questions"
There you will see cases of people who used 2 NOC (as long as it falls under 0, A,B) and have gotten PPR.

Please read page 0 well. Its a goldmine right there. I myself used 2 NOC. I hope to testify here too of my PPR

efueh:
Seniors in the house please address this from your experience. I don't think it should be an issue sha, but let the experience ones agree or disagree.

For me, I think its good to be on the safe side and not tamper with your POF. So while I can spend from the money, I ensure my POF does not fall below what CIC requires of me. At least this is what I'm practising. Let others weigh in.

I've read on the post PPR thread where some people are asked for their proof of funds on arrival in Canada.

IFEAGO:
It's PPR guys, see timeline below;
, W7.0, S8.0
Jan. 2018 - 5th Attempt: L9.0, R7.0, W7.0, S8.0
e for all!

Tambourine out for this announcement jo

Bonvieto:
you do know that this particular thread has 4 different titles right ? and each title is about 500 pages long, how am i to know which thread to search for that information in, when clearly nairaland isnt the easiest place to search for stuff.

if you dont want to answer or help please refrain from making it seem like am asking weird question, if u are a pro on nairaland or this forum then kudos to you, if u cant help just allow it.

Google search "medical exam CIC"

First page, you see this link with the info you require
http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx

Nigeria just lost mehn.... Its tough and annoying

einsteino:
Thought to chip in here, they store transmitted info, i think i saw the Post ITA changes i made before submission in my GCMS but can't say they use it in assessment. Would check my GCMS again to confirm that i saw pre submission changes

Hmm. That would only make sense. Hence when someone decides to change info post ITA, an LOE becomes necessary. Thanks for chipping in

DrStrangelove:
Hello Family,

Thanks for this wonderful community we have. Its been a blessing.

Please my wife entered the EE pool. We have done all our ECA and IELTS, both me and her. She is the primary applicant. Now, my issue/challenge is my wife 's work experiece as a lawyer. She practised initially for about a year in a chambers until she had to fly out for child delivery. She decided against going back to the chambers because she didnt like the place. So she got a flexible job as an Insurance marketer with an insurance company and she loves what she does. Also we cannot find this new job in the NOC list. Moreover, the law skill gives more points in the CRS. Now she does some legal work by the side from time to time but sparingly. She entered the pool as a lawyer and we tried using a family friend's chambers in her work history/experience, as the one and only/current workplace. Long and short, the family friend backed out that we shouldnt use his law firm which will now mean we have to use another law firm thereby editing the earlier entry in her profile. Now my challenge is this, looking at the EE section summary, we see 'transmitted' in each row of the profile. Now does CIC take and keep in history, entry changes in the EE profile? If not, can we then edit the old workplace and put in a new one which is now a surebanker? Or CIC doesnt care about what goes on in our EE profiles not until post-ITA? Or should i just delete the profile and create a new one from scratch? Advice needed

Thanks

Oga sir, why are you complicating matters for yourself nah? What do you mean as the law skill gives more points in the CRS?
Please do not lie concerning your application. Are you aware that you lot can have your permanent residence revoked in the future if it comes out that you had lied/misrepresented certain facts in your FSW application.

Working as a lawyer for 3 years and someone else working as a school teacher for 3 years is the same 3 years in CIC journey. No one is bigger than the other. Please take out time and read page 0 of this thread for better understanding. I don't know anything about CIC storing transmitted information or not so I cant tell if editing your work history will favour you or not. However, I would simply advise that you kukuma delete your profile and start afresh.

Your Mrs has 1 year experience in the law firm.
Let her state her job description for the Insurance marketing role and people will help her pinpoint an appropriate NOC code that goes with it.
How many years has she worked in the Insurance marketing role? Whatever decision you choose to go along with, just ensure you don't put yourself in trouble due to misrepresentation. Good luck

ajiifixing:
Guys gather here.
Finally it has come.

Here is my timeline

Congrats on your PPR. If its not too much, do you mind giving pointers on what your interview would have been about. This may help someone

@nirany my experience with them was a very smooth one. I read the experience from both clinics in Lagos on page 0 of this thread and chose to go with Q Life. When I booked, I was advised to arrive before 9 am on the said date. There was a lot of waiting patiently but it was slightly reasonable for me. But once they called my number, I was on my feet moving from one room to another for the various tests before it came to an end. Staff polite.

aworldcitizen:
Congratulations to all PPR!

It is well with you. We will rejoice with you on this thread last last.

@canadianwasp thank you for your detailed PPR news. Congrats to you and yours

deesmama:
Hi, if you've got an ita, upload the letter.. I did that and wumi contacted me..

Thank you. I have done that now

einsteino:
In place of those just upload your ITA letter. That's what I did and I already attended the session.

Oh God bless you! Ask and truly you shall receive

I've been seeing that messages here but always felt I wasn't qualified as I didn't have any of those documents. If only I voiced my concerns then. Lol

Brb. Make I go press computer sharp sharp. Thank you

einsteino:
if you have submitted your application and have got your UCI,

https://2register.planningforcanada.ca/register/index.php

This sounds like a brilliant idea but for someone who has submitted with just a UCI number, how do you get any of the requirements below?

You will need to provide one of the following documents confirming your eligibility:
an IRCC invitation to obtain pre-arrival services, or
a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) letter/document, or

a passport request letter that indicates Permanent Resident visa issuance, or
an IRCC request that an applicant for permanent residence complete a medical examination, or

a Single Entry Permanent Resident Visa, or

a Permanent Resident Visa pick up notification letter.

Awaiting your response.

mepconsultant:
