Hello Peeps,

See how funny time is, it just flies!

More than a year ago I post the quote below.

I have landed in Canada for six (6) weeks now and I have worked for three (3) weeks already.

Just to encourage you all to be steadfast and be patient, this journey is not a raffle it's a process.

Ask question and read, read and read information about everything and everyday living.

I wish everyone best of life, and from time to time I will offer my help here based on my experience.

Happy Sunday!

superchi:
Hey bro,

Today, a new phase in the journey just begun. I got ITA.

I wish you God's blessings too.

Thanks everyone!

Wait you mean it cost 2530CAD for PR application? Or is that after you have been selected?

Yeah I've been selected.

But wait a minute oh. Haven't you been selected?

So what application fee are you paying for?

Mine cost that amount b'cos I am paying for 5 people.

olurotimi1:
please how did you pay your application fees, with all this Forex restrictions please I need to pay mine urgently.

Please which of the fees?

CIC fees for PR application & RPRF abi?

As per exchange rate you have no control over it as it's determine by a lot of factors right now in Nigeria.

But the restriction thing, no Nigerian Naira card can work. I recently paid CAD$2530 CIC fees.

Two options: 1. Get a Dollar denominated Mastercard/Visa from GTB et all and buy $ from parallel mkt to fund it.
2. If you have a brother in Canada or USA use their card to pay then reimburse their Naira acct if they still maintain one.

I used the first option, the USD amount came to $2060.

Hope this helps?

Cheers

My AOR wasn't even 10th April. It was 21st April. We received passport request on the 19th of May. Our story is just a testimony and miracle. I really want to encourage everyone here , put your trust in God. God is able to do the unexplainable and unimaginable. Indeed,He is a miracle working God.
Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. Your own testimony is next in Jesus name. Amen

Nadina, it's indeed a miracle. AOR 21st April?

The VO must be a very efficient person couple with the fact that you turn in a complete and well organized document.

I just want to let you know that I have tapped unto your anointing already.

MyCIC updated just now to Medical passed.

From your experience what do you think will be next?

After close to a year I applied to Nova Scotia Province, I just got a mail from them to confirm if I have not received nomination from any province. I have 10 working days to respond (20th June, 2016).
I have an awaiting submission for Quebec this month (June 13th). What should I do now? Respond to Nova Scotia since I have not received any nomination? Can I run both programs that's if I get nominated by Quebec?
I am hoping to use the provincial to boost my Express Entry score as I currently have less than 340 CRS.
My IELTS expires in Sept, 2016 and my Express Entry profile expires in July 2016 since it is valid for 1 year, How do I create another one on my own as I am currently using an agent?
I would appreciate any advise and feedback.
Thanks a lot guys

meta4,

I believe God just answered your prayer but you did not recognise it.
Firstly, do you know that Quebec PNP is not guaranteed? Your application can be bounced!
Secondly, your EE profile & IELTS are about to expire and suddenly a mail from Nova Scotia NS?
Well, I read somewhere that NS nomination is fast. It can conclude before your EE profile expires.
Lastly, even if both expires, you will recreate your EE and redo IELTS. Guess what? That's what will most definitely do for Quebec. So what the problem if you do it for NS?
I believe your Nova Scotia is a better choice because in less than 10days the process will begin. It even cost less financially.

Thanks Superchi,

But would it not pose a problem if I do not have any written response from them denying the PCC request. Because the denial was verbatim. The only proof I have are non replied mails sent to them.

I advise you state it in the LOE. Also attached the emails.
If its not sufficient CIC will request for what suffices.

Please do.

Is there anyone who can be of assistance. Hubby spent over a year in India, but currently back in Nigeria. We've been trying to get India pcc. The India embassy in Lagos refused to give us, stating that they only issue to Indians here in Nigeria. They refused to respond to our mails or give a written letter to this effect.

Can anyone kindly advice on how to proceed?

Hello,

I empathize with you given the stress you've been through. Even Indians find it very difficult to get. Well, CIC requests PCC for countries you've resided for six months and where you're unable to, you must provide evidence the you've made best efforts in getting it. So I advise you document every attempts you have made in getting PCC and attach a well written letter of explanation.

Thank you very much. I am studying medicine in the Caribbean (will finish this year). I used my B.Sc. and M.Sc. obtained in Nigeria for the application and the work experience I got in Nigeria. The grey areas for me are the fact that 1) I don't have any pay slip for that job cos its been a while so I submitted a reference letter from my former boss and my employment contract. Will that be sufficient? 2) To prove my financial status, my mum sent the money to my account and swore affidavit that its a gift which would not be taken back. I hope this will not work against me cos I couldn't build my account as required (I am just a student).
Finally, I woke up this morning to see a mail saying myCIC account has been updated, but when I logged into the account, nothing was updated. everything was exactly the way it was. Please has anyone experienced this before?

First, do you know you can request for information on your file? But you need someone in Canada to that for you.
It's called GCMS (Global Case Management System), the report has valuable information on the current status and future processing of your application. Find the link here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp
To your question 1. They may ask you for it and account statement showing salary will do 2. Affidavit is fine & 3. That mail is called 'Ghost mail'. Nothing special, lots of people got it.

I already have an express entry no and job seeker validation code which i have sent to Nova scotia for their PNP. Wont Saskatchewan disqualify me if i tick Yes. Or should i pick No.

And pls which settlement destination is better in Saskatchewan.

Hey Jetspeed,

I heard Regina is better because it's the main city there.

@ejirostephen

I have been on the look out for any Naija on SINP PNP and I am happy to see you here.

My SINP EE Stream application was on 5th January 2016 and now ''In process''.

Do you know how long it will take for this status to change?

I know is a patience game and I have enough.

My CRS points today is 1020!

My Saskatschewan nomination gave additional 600 points.

If you can apply to this program, you are home and try for CIC application submission because only Upfront Medical and Police Clearance Cert are the two documents to add.

It very tasking and voluminous especially when you work. They ask for all the docs you'll need for CIC in case get ITA.

Guys, its not been easy. The first thing I (and wifey) did was WES (June, 2015), next we did was IELTS (July), next created EE profile (Sep 2015, CRS 420), and in Jan 2016 applied SAKS Provincial nominee. Nominated this May 2016.

My application has a total of 5 people. This program helped get every documents I'll ever need in place, even the ones I issued abroad I've gotten them all.

Patience is all I need for the next phase (post ITA).

This blog has been very instrumental. I got most of the information I wanted here and I shall continue to give back here.

Thanks y'all

Can someone please help me out? images below are what I can only see in both my profile home page and profile upload sections. please advice me on what do gurus.

Hey,

Use the check for completeness button.

You should see ''move to next stage of application screen''.

Step 2 of this is ''settlement funds, settlement plan screens''.

SINP PNP application is cumbersome but it makes you well prepared for CIC when you get ITA.

Let me know if it worked....I heard it may open again before June. So upload everything and be set!

Thanks. I called the contact in my school's record office today. She said they did receive a paper mail, but the sent the verification by email. She claims that's how they have always done it. You think WES is not acknowledging their email and wants a paper reply instead?

This is new to me, email reply to WES? Well, in my case it was a 'paper mail' reply to WES. And I paid to DHL it to WES.

I'll advise you to wait for another month, see if WES will acknowledge their email and update your evaluation. If not, arrange with your school to reply by paper mail. Tell them you'll pay for express mail so you can track the delivery to WES.

Goodluck!

Hello House,

I'm having issues paying for WES evaluation.
Any idea on how to pay with Moneygram.

Using the debit card option with this FX isssh is giving me worry

Does your worry have anything to do with rate or limitations on card?

B'cos you can use GTB mastercard. Monthly limit is $1000.

The amount for evaluation is less than this. So it should work if the limit has not been exceeded on the card.

Hope this helps?

Thanks. This is a great idea I wanna try.
So, WES sends paper verification request? or email? or both? And what should they be on the look out for, if I wanna inform my school?

WES will send regular paper mail (Letter) to your school. They should check mails received from the Post office.

You, the applicant, will be notified by email that a letter has be sent to your school.

Hope this helps?

I believe cutoff will reduc. If you observe, the ITA issued at the last draw was below 1000; unusual and unexpected. CIC expects to invite more people this year, and if they keep at high scores they would not meet up. I'm optimistic the cutoff will reduce. Scores as high as 450-460 is too high to go to waste.

I think people are getting smarter with Express Entry. They'll come into the pool with high marks and that gives them a better chance to get ITA. Remember, this thing is global for everyone who is interested in coming to Canada. If you are under 29, ace your IELTS and add a masters. For people above this age, start looking at PNP. About 5,000 applicants enter the EE pool every month. So let's use empirical data to guide our action and get it through on time.

I sent my documents to WES for evaluation and currently the status is that they are awaiting verification from my school. However, I contacted an insider in my school's records office who claimed they have replied WES. This is like 1 month ago, yet no update on the WES website. I also wrote WES to inform them that my school has gotten back, yet their claim is that they haven't heard from my school.
Is there a way I can solve this?
The status has been reading "awaiting verification from institution" for more than 2 months now.

Hey,

I had same experience. I even waited longer say 6 months!

This is what I did to solve it.

I informed WES to send the verification letter to my school again.

Earlier, I'd contacted someone in my school to be on the lookout. WES did resent it and my contact tracked it when it got to my school. So I arranged and paid to DHL the response. All these happened within 4 weeks and my WES was complete!

Try it and I hope it works for you.

If I may ask, is somebody paying you guys for all these time and information. I am really greatful. I cant just express how much I appreciate. May God almighty answer to all your need.

No dear, we believe in the Law of Sowing and Reaping. It's just as natural as life itself. I've been to Canada twice since 2015. All the information I needed to apply for the visa I got it here. No one gave me any invitation letter. All I did was book an hotel and provide a detailed letter of explanation. Me, my wife and daughter were given visa. We all have our reasons to be here to help by sharing our experiences. And I strongly invite you to be an active contributor! Now lets talk a little bit of statistics and our attitude as Nigerians. The Express Entry started in 2015 and Canada has released the report on the program. India and China are top on the list of countries with the highest candidates invited in the program. The reason is simply COLLABORATION!. Go online check all the blogs and forums for Canada immigration you'll see a heavy presence of Indians! They ace IELTS like no man business. They provide very detailed answer to the dumbest question to there fellow country man. For the Chinese, the rich build business in Canada and give employment offer to people back in China. So they get 600 points for having job offers from Canada. Both of the them have a strong community in Canada and they encourage there single boys and ladies to marry from their home country. Using different legal routes to bring their own. What do we do as Nigerians? You have information and keep to yourselves. You want to be the riches guy or only Canadian from your village. Nigeria gathered about 1% of the total invitations in 2015, top in Africa. I believe we can do more.

Zandora et al have been wonderful and we'll continue to support you and every Nigerian, sharp or no sharp.
