Folks,

I have a testimony, we have passed our medicals,even though the CIC doc told us clearly, you would most likely be asked for further tests for your daughter. we give glory to God that is not happening. I dont know how God did it but he did it anyway. The good glitch that happened also moved our application into the IP2 gang.

Let me borrow the most popular phrase in here; It will end in praise!

Cheers

I remember your earlier post. Thank God for you and your family

Pamperme:
Guys, PPR is here.....

When the Lord turn the captivity of Zion, we were like they that dreamt.... I will like to give glory to Almighty God for He alone is worthy of all my praise...

When i saw Teatop1234's PPR mail earlier, i was genuinely happy for her and also pray that LVO will give me PPR too. One hour after, my golden mail arrived. On Monday, i told Pampem that i have a good feeling that both of us would get PPR this week and be free from LVO.

I want to sincerely thank all the elders of this forum for their contributions... Honestly, didnt ask any questions throughout this journey because i read and noted down everything that is important.

To my powerful colleague and mentor... @Egariyi, I love you to the moon and back... We will rock Canny together...

Like i said earlier... I will sing KWAM 1 song today... Ileku ayo tota se bawon ti o... Ilu Canada ni won ti si...

Thank you all and God bless you

The rain has begun.

Dear Lord, we thank you. As we rejoice with others, people will also rejoice with us. Those still doing IELTS, those waiting for NASU, those waiting for remark, those responding to ADR, those gathering POF, those waiting for scores to crash, those still gathering document needed, even those still looking through NOC. Let it rainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn....

Favoredme:
@Jesusisable and @Lopside12, Congratulations!!!

Let the PPR rain begin!

Amen. Let it rain

How that singer is able to hold all that money is my major concern!
Are those fingers or octopus legs!?

That was actually what fascinated me and not the spraying. Lol

Ambidextrause:
Hello Good People,

I got PUM today!!! me to that WhatsApp group.

What a tale. May the name of the lord be praised

PNP. LOL The way people are calling PNP here ehn, you would think it was easier. Please educate yourself concerning PNP. See official PNP thread below.
https://www.nairaland.com/4180147/all-canadian-provincial-nominee-programs

At a point, I also thought about going down the PNP route due to sheer frustration, then i went to that thread and began to read. I quickly realized i was better off being patient under FSW for some more months until certain things clicked for me. Every man's case is not the same though. My tale may not be your tale so go and read about PNP and see if that is the best route for you and your family.

If anyone has age on their side and has the opportunity to rewrite IELTS and max out their score, then no need rushing for the PNP route. I learnt something a while back on this thread; patience with the process.

Eilenora:
The way some people express their opinions on this NL is funny. What has humbling got to do with anything? Did you not hear me say I was worried about speaking? Is speaking not a tool of trade for a lawyer as well? Is there anything proud in me saying I was confident in my writing but not in my speaking? PLEASE if u don't have anything encouraging to say esp to someone who is obviously searching for answers just "read and ignore" U really don't have to respond thank you.

Take a deep breath...

I read Sunvick's response and there was nothing degrading or demeaning about it

If he meant it the way you are taking it, he probably would not commence his opening statement with ''sorry about the outcome. it could be quite very painful'' and go on to proffer a solution by telling you to seek a remark by raising a bank draft for BC.

Relax. It is well.

@dtush kindly respond to my PM when you have the opportunity. God bless

[quote author=tippex post=65307104][/quote]Ok. It is well with you. So many testimonies of people who never gave up abound here. We celebrated a brother the other day here. Your own will not be different.

tippex:
My people, so I have good news and bad news. Hubby did so well but listening did me strong thing again, only if we could swap results. So his LRWS is 8.5,9,7,7 while mine is 7.5,7.5,7.5,7. To think that when we practised together I was always scoring higher than him. He is so shocked I didn't pass listening. With our current result we are at 401 and with me having 8,7,7,7 we are at 454 there about. Not giving up, it is not over until I pass.

That is the spirit. We will rejoice with you last last. It is not over until its over. Can your husband be the main applicant though? Just asking.

To all those writing again, good luck. To those who made it congratulations

It shall end in praise

Nozzle:
I had similar issues with my current employer.

So i had to submit the following in this order (first to last page), and in one pdf file


Email correspondence with HR personel showing my request and their response, stating why they cant grant my request
The generic letter from my company (No job roles and duties)
Two paged reference letter (required format) signed by a colig (in my department)included his phone number, email and address(certified it in court)
A scanned copy of his ID card front and back (certified it in court)
Scanned copy of my ID (certified it in court)
Tied everything up with LOE explaining why i couldnt provide a reference letter with the required format directly from my employer.

Its my current employer, so for your case, employment letter, letter of resignation etc. may be included. I did the same when documenting for my former employer too.

My pay slips, bank statements came under my pof. You could try other approach as well, there is really no hard and fast rule anyway, you re simply trying to be as convincing as possible with your documentations and its important you leave no stone unturned in the process.

This worked for me, i hope it works for you too.

You are blessed and highly favoured. Your response is not just useful to me but this will be a solid reference point for so many others that may find themselves in this situation.
Concerning a colleague i can use, i'm afraid i know no one working there today. This is outside Nigeria and we are talking about 5 years ago. All the people i know have left as well and returned back home. However, your response has given me solid ideas of where to go from here. Thank you again.

What can one do about a past employer who refuses to include roles/duties to a reference letter? Reason is that it is not part of their policy to state such.

This past employer provides workers to a vast number of institutions so turn over rate is very high. Individual (from central head office and not in city where I worked) sending generic employment letter may not be able to confirm my exact job function

Meanwhile i have an employment letter confirming role, full-time employment, number of hours worked etc but letter is silent on role/duties. Payslips and bank statement are available. Advice? Anyone gone through this?

Too much good news of cases treated in very good time. This people mean business.

Success to the rest of us and good luck with the IELTS result for those expecting tomorrow...

dtush:
I dont even know where to start to show my appreciation to my creator.

That is how i woke up 4am jejely to read. Just had an itch to check my email. There it was lying since 3:02pm yday, a mail to check my account.

Lo and behold, it was PPR. didnt believe it at first, call a friend who has received PPR to help me confirm.

I am interested, Am also in Ibadan, can you give me your contact

Hello. i wanted to ask about your experience if you still went for that Ola Kleen job. I have a friend who has been invited for interview but the person is wondering what kind of company it is.

dumsydsassy1:
With this details you appear to be eligible. Your wife’s age is an advantage, so she should be the PA. With ielts scores of 8.5/8/7.5,7.5/LRWS from the both of you, your crs scores stands at 418.
Yes you can either transfer the POF to her and write an accompanying letter stating the funds are for immigration purposes or leave the money in your account and state in a letter that she has access to it for the same purpose. Either way you are writing a letter. Do

Unless the wife was a supervisor in the customer care work before she can be can be eligible. Remember customer care in bank falls under NOC C and NOC C is not eligible for FSW program. Unless she has worked elsewhere in a job which falls under NOC 0, A or B

Hello my e-family,
IELTS results in oh....

L (8.5)
R (9)
W (6.5)
S (7.5)

First, I will like to appreciate everyone here who has made this possible for me through the shared Cambridge materials, it really helped me sincerely, coupled with ieltsliz.com. God will bless the people who shared it abundantly, I cannot really pick names.
However, I want to order for a remark on my writing immediately as I am very sure I should get a minimum of 8.0. Though I feel I know why the score is low. I wrote on extra sheet but unfortunately I mistakenly continued on the back page instead of the front, it was at the point of submission after proof reading that I discovered this and I just wrote P.T.O in front. This may not also be the cause but its a probability, maybe the marker did not turn over. What do u think house?

Moreso, I will like to know the process of ordering for a remark on writing, and timeline to do so after the result is out. waiting patiently for your comment my family. Thanks again for all your effort here.

Please go for the remark. I wish you luck.
Congrats mcstan

CRS=463

Someone please pray for us to get delivered from the shackles of NASU too ooooo

Big congrats to you bro. I remember your story about the writing sheet. Happy for you. And to every one who made it congrats. For those who didn't make it, don't be discouraged

blessings2017:
Did mine at vgc branch, Lagos. My bro did his in another state, entirely different. A surer way though, is by asking your account officer to process it ( assuming you have a good rapport with him/her). If you don't, just look for any person with good rapport with his/her account officer to speak on your behalf .

Cheers!

Thanks

blessings2017:
First bank gives reference letters in CIC format. Just try ginger .For me, I simply took my brother's own to the bank to show them it's possible. Shekinah. Case closed.

What branch is this please?

Newmum0615:

I guess I didn't understand the context so I went on to copy and paste for clarity. Lol

Biko who don translate document for Lagos. Naim I dey so. Good morning all

mrsJustveryOkay:
Can you calm down and answer the following question:
- which language is the document written in?
- which language do you want to translate to?

Answer to those two would guide people in helping you out.

Pele.... as your body dey hawt!

My body nor hot o! Person say "language?" naim I say make i break am down explain well. Lolz

Document in Latin
Need it translated to English.

Na certificate. Although the school has a service where they translate to English in addition to the original certificate. I hv the English translation frm d school but I'm just wanting to play safe as per CIC guideline and have it translated by an independent language translator.

Am I right?

smslive2:
I have been reading about the medical inadmissibility since you posted this and i have a bit of good news for you. CIC is working on alot of Changes to Canada’s medical inadmissibility rules... So dont loose hope, stay positive while you continue to get whatever help you can in the meantime. There is a guy on Twitter Yinka Ogunnubi whose son had the same condition, he once shared some tips and how he was able to help his son recover.. You can follow him as well and chat him up... at yinkanubi

What a breathe of fresh air. I'm personally happy to read this on behalf of op. God bless this wonderful platform we have here

Language?

Document to be translated. Language translation. Document is not in English or French.

"Translation of documents

If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with a copy of the original document as well as a version translated by a certified translator.

If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with:

the English or French translation; and
an affidavit from the person who completed the translations; and
a certified photocopy of the original document.
The instruction guide for Express Entry candidates and applicants explains how to meet these requirements."

Dear all, please who can give me the information on where to get a translator preferably on the Island (Lagos). I need to translate a document as per CIC guideline.

Thank you

I work in a private company in somewhere Lagos. I got this job after some months of desperate job hunt.

When I started this job in January 2017, I thought I would grow and get some promotions maybe within the shortest time frame. So I gave my all.

Now the problem is that my boss wants to engage me for 24 hours. She calls me anytime she feels like to process some documents and respond to clients' inquiries. Even at midnight and beyond. At first, I thought it was because of the pressure we faced during the season but this continued even as I type this.

I have tried to curtail this behavior of hers but she is not giving up.


The most annoying part of this is that whenever her children are given assignments in their schools, she would tell them to give it to me to solve for them without minding my personal schedule. Her children attends one of the best schools here in Lagos.

I have personally told her to respect my unofficial hours and avoid adding unofficial assignments to my job description but she wouldn't listen.

At a point, I tactically delayed the assignment for days and she started complaining that I am incompetent.

I have made up my mind to quit the job at any slightest opportunity but the role I play in the company is very critical that I can't just wake up one day and resign.

Though she rarely praises me, a couple of her friends have told me how she boasts of my competence and the innovations and values I have added to the company..

Note that three months into the job, she offered me a one bedroom flat at her boys quarters and I didn't hesitate to accept because the place is somewhat closer to the office than where I lived. And sometimes, I join her in the car to the office in the morning thereby saving some fare cost.

Please, I need all the ideas you can give me to handle the situation.

First step to your independence is moving out of her BQ

cochtrane:
Check this out. It may help you get a clearer picture.

Thanks. Food for thought

A while back, i asked if different NOC'S (gained within the past 10 years and falling under 0, A or B) could be combined to get maximum points for FSW application. No one responded to me at that point. I read the FAQ online but i was skeptical and unsure of the interpretation of what i read. You see, i always believed that it had to be work experience gained in the same profession and not different NOC. So i kept calculating my points using my current 2 years of work experience.

I decided to tweet at CIC to clear any doubt and the answer was positive for me. After i got the all clear tweet from CIC that this was acceptable to use different NOCS, i was excited. I quickly added another experience (just a year) i had which fell under NOC A and voila my score increased from 420 something to the mid 440. Based on this, i was invited yesterday. ITA abi?

Well this NOC A work experience makes me worried a bit.
It has no fixed job title that fits into the NOC list but i have tried my hardest to go through the entire NOC list and choose one based on the work i did at that time.
I spoke to one or two people here to get their thoughts on it as well.
My former employers (in the UK) are somewhat funny people and i cant count much on their cooperation to send the reference letter as specified by CIC. Sha I have my bank accounts showing payments made for the period, pay slips (thank God for this) et al.
Yet i just keep thinking about the NOC I've gone for. Keep thinking its not perfect enough, not as crystal clear enough as my NOC with my current job. Phewwwwwwwwwwwww...
Who has ever felt this worried about a job description and matching it with an NOC?

Let me shut down and just go home. I'm tired!

It is well brother,may her soul rest in peace, I suffered exactly the same fate in march 2009 when I lost my lovely wife in child birth,the world came to a standstill for me and I couldn't see any reason for living any more but God strengthened me,the girl child is alive and she will be 9 years next month,but I have still not been able to get over it, in fact I can never forget it even though I remarried,I still weep profusely in silence each time the thought of her comes up in my own closest. MAY HER GENTLE SOUL REST ON IN PERFECT PEACE Amen

So sorry for your loss brother. May she continue to RIP. God bless your family not forgetting the lovely child she left behind.
