Hello. A quick question for people post ITA
When uploading digital passport unto the place card provided, does one need to scan and upload the stamp at the back or just the passport photo itself.
I'm a bit confused. Or do i just merge the front and the stamped back and scan together in JPEG format?

Please please and please, for those of you that had your degree in UK, how long did your evaluation take after your documents were received? This is 11days and my WES status is still "in progress" and no possible date of completion of evaluation has popped up on my status.
Mine took about a month. I didn't experience any verification wahala. Chat them up through the (contact us) medium if you have any concerns.

Include your BA certificate when you wanna submit. You will merge your BA certificate, MBA certificate , IELTS result and ECA certificate as a single PDF file. You will then upload in the education placeholder.
Hi. Would you be kind enough to update page 0 of this thread with PPR recipients especially from part 4. I noticed it has stopped. Their timeline/testimony are usually a source of hope to countless people on this journey.

In other news, can someone who has recently done this VFS Global passport thing give us a detailed account on that process and what it entails. A lot of people who just clenched PPR come and ask questions on it then it goes silent.
Tnx

Thank you I’m facing too much hostility at work and I really want out I’m trapped on a work visa and I can’t wait to get to Canada so I can live a free life it’s daunting and made me transfer aggression to all my friends
I hv been there. Smack bang in the middle.
Those days I open Facebook and see my colleagues picture for Naija then I ask myself "who send you message? All this Lagos people nor better pass me? At least dem nor need visa for Naija"

It was so bad that I'd already put in my application for visa extension to the authorities yet my former manager stands up in the team and announces my imminent departure while I'm seated right there! LOL

Talk of mad a.ss hostility. LOL
I can go on and on but I don't want to derail the thread.

I conquered though. I remained in that job for longer than any of them anticipated. I remained because if I left, I wouldn't hv gotten another job with my passport tied up with the authorities.I remained until my passport came out then I resigned from that company. I moved onto my last job in that country before my post study visa ran out and I returned to Naija.

I did that with boldness knowing the law was on my side the entire time. And I am very happy I played right. If I had done anything shady, I wouldn't have the boldness to try FSW today.

So chin up bro. As long as you stand right with the law you'll be fine.

Congrats on your PPR. Other than your good news, the other thing (pardon my weirdness for hanging unto this) that dawned on me was that a whole VC could write a letter of explanation for an ex member of staff. How humbling. A lot to learn from this.

this thread is dedicated to celebrating Nigerian lecturers and professors who have distinguished themselves in imparting knowledge to students. come in and drop the name of that lecturer you respect. for me, prof emeka chianu is d best land law lecturer in Nigeria. prof Lawrence atsegbua the former dean of law deserves a mention too. both are from the law faculty uniben
Amen amen amen. I can attest to this. Prof Emeka Chianu. Law of Land Law and Trespass (if my memory serves me well-green cover page)

Verily verify I say unto you, the day you clench your ITA and golden mail, this forum will erupt in joyous celebration and thank God on your behalf.

I noticed your CRS tale last week though I've been seeing your name for longer on the PNP thread.

I suggest you hold off the remarking and give the forth coming ielts your very best. Your current CRS score is very decent. Don't lock your score down and lose the risk of foregoing the next draw which might just be in your favor. No one can tell how your next ielts would turn out even though we hope for the best

Be patient, you are nearly there.

ayxmania:
Hello fams, please I have a question. I'm expecting 3.5m from someone which I would use as my PoF. My company has a Corporate Account, and I have a good rapport with the CEO and also, the Accountant. So what if I tell the person to pay the 3.5m into that account, and they in turn pay into my account? Then, in the letter they would issue me for work experience, they would say I requested my salary (after tax) be kept for me till I am ready to immigrate? Then, I'll also add a LoE to support the fact. That should be straightforward, and save me the stress of having to do a Gift of Deed, or should I just have the person send to me directly and have a Gift of Deed done?

Biko help me out angry angry
But why would you want to go ahead with such a complicated process; putting someone's money in your company account first. You trust CEO and accountant but is that not how someone has trusted you and wants to transfer 3.5 million yet you are contemplating placing it somewhere "safe" first. Why not minimize risk and just do the deed gift with the funds safely tucked in your account?

Gift deed has worked here and we know it. Please weigh this your LOE tale by your employer side by side a deed gift then make your choice.

Family › Re: I Need Help For My 4-Year-Old Son by stonecoldcafe: 3:42pm On Apr 14, 2018
PurestBoy:
I have 2 boys, Kevin and Alvin, 4 and 1yr old respectively, both were on 6-month exclusive breastfeeding, Had Cow&Gate2 baby formula, Kevin is just too active, he doesn't doesn't even walk at home, he runs even when I take him out (cos he doesn't even play in the compound), he can't stay in a place for 2 minutes except he's watching his favorite cartoon channel GoTv 60, no matter how you beat him he doesn't cry for more than few seconds, he learns too much that he even corrects me his father but the problem is he's too active (I don't want to use the word stubborn). His 11+ mths younger brother is already following his footsteps, their mother shouts and beats Kevin every minute for jumping around in the house like monkey. He even engages in fight with me whenever I want to watch my favorite channels except I beat him thoroughly, he wouldn't allow anyone touch anything that is his. Their mother is fed up and losing weight and she's afraid his Alvin is already acting likewise. I don't know what to do because you can't leave Kevin alone in the house without closed monitoring for a minute else something bad and injurious might happen. All my life, I've never see a kid like my boy, I need advise on what to do, it was worse when he was younger. I don't like beating him like his Mom does but won't have peace at home due to excessive shouting and scolding except he's asleep. Anyone with ideas on how to curtail this?
As kids, we had a neighbor who appeared to bear similar traits to the ones you've raised especially the beating and crying for 2/3 seconds only.
That is the major thing you wrote of that set off an alarm in my head. The child was also very hyperactive and he had a very low concentration span. Sorry to say but personally i never knew if there was a medical condition to it. We grew up and this kid continued to struggle academically and otherwise. He wasn't hyperactive anymore as a teenager/young adult but you could tell he was not growing (intellectually/emotionally and otherwise) at the same pace as his peers. Nigeria is a one kain place. I'm sure if we were in an advanced society, there would have been diagnosis and help for this young man. To at least set him aright from a young age when we began to discover some of these traits.

I pray your case will be different in Jesus name. It may seem like play but i will also take this child to God in prayer if i were you. Also don't neglect medical intervention. God bless. By the way, nothing wrong being left handed. Just my opinion

Can the person just sign, scan back and send to me while i sign in Nigeria and notarize in the courts here? Would the court notarize a document which is not in the original copy? Help anyone!

Please i have some questions concerning an unaccompanied spouse. Those with information on this should kindly respond to me. I would truly appreciate clarification on some post ITA QUESTIONS


Does the unaccompanied spouse have to take that CIC recommended passport photograph at Studio24?
Does one have to factor the right of permanent residence fee (490) or 1050 processing fee for an unaccompanying spouse?

I'm at the NOUN building in VI and I was making enquiries, trying to be coy and not state the real reason why I am not really sure of the exact course my brother wants to do. The lady didn't even let me finish, she say 'It's for Canada abi? He can do any programme". I was shooketh. See the receptionist laughing at me.

See what 2 or more certificates is causing. cry
OMG! Really? Those guys will soon increase their fees very soon; just watch out

This reminds me of what someone said here a while back. I cant remember his moniker now but after he spoke, that thing was the push i finally needed to move in another direction. That person used the Australian thread to make an example. He said that when the process began, it was quite easy. People jumped on board but after a while, more people heard, scores rose higher, it became more competitive and what you could easily get became more challenging. See people going to NOUN now in droves to increase CRS score sotay their staff come sabi say na for Canada immigration. LOL

Oh please, ask for a remark at least if for nothing just to get your refund back. Then if you have the spare cash, try to re write the exam again. Probably with IDP just for a change. Don't despair. Goodluck
