Meritl: Hello wise one Solo. I'm about arranging marriage levels for me and my girlfriend. I've got a question and need your help. "BY THE TIME I GET MARRIED TO HER AT A REGISTRY, HER LAST NAME WILL CHANGE AND THIS WILL NOT CORRESPOND WITH WHAT IS IN HER INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT. What I'm I to do afterwards? Thanks.

damkollins: Yes.....saw it too which is why I'm surprised why some people have different opinion...I guess its because CIC were not explicit enough in their instruction but I believe the gazette oversees CIC operations.

This affidavit issue won't be fair to so many applicants.
Personally,I believe there should not be substitute for birth certificate but seems to me some applicants are getting positive result with it.....I really don't like taking chances in my life and always advice potential applicants to go for the best options that support their claim.Birth certificate with NPC seems easy to me than swearing in court
Cheers.

queen47: Ok, guys, I nEed you people to help me understand this my wes situation.

When I first sent my documents, my status read ...Documents recieved- review in progress.

Later, the status changed to -waiting for verfication from institution (they sent me a mail to notify me of this).

I just checked today and the status now reads ...documents recieved- review in progress.(They didn't send me a mail)

What does this mean? Does it me they've gotten verification from my institution? Does it mean my evaluation is almost done?

This evaluation has taken so long. I've sent mail to ask for directives to use courier service to do the verification from institution and I haven't gotten any response

ANBAKO: If your country of permanent residence is Nigeria, then the answer is Accra Ghana.

damkollins: It's quite acceptable to update your status after you must have passed the application stage.
Update of status to include marriage,new born baby,divorce,change of jobs and so on are acceptable.
The local visa office in Accra can always be contacted to update your status with necessary supporting documents as evidence of change.
Marriage status supporting documents will include legal marriage certificate document,update of generic form,update of background information forms and additional information forms,you will need to pay processing free charges of 550CAD for a new spouse or 150CAD for a new baby,passport photographs,biodata page,PCC and so on.
If you have plans for marriage in the coming months,this should not delay your application package submission now as you can always add them to your status later on as you progresses.
Cheers.

Meritl: Hello Solo. Please, I plan moving with my Girlfriend that has been with me for over 2 years . Can you assist in those docs that relate us. Really been having difficulties in providing them...........................

Thanks.

yomfad: I am Happy now...... When did you do this if i may ask?

yomfad: Dear Solomonwise, i have just made payment for my Bsc to be evaluated by WES before i saw FAQ about required documents from Nigeria where it was stated as follow :

Question "I was exempted from part of my program (e.g. year 1) due to prior study completed. Do I need to provide transcripts for all prior study as well?

Answer "Yes. WES will require academic transcripts for all study leading to your qualification, including prior study that granted you study exemptions. WES will not issue an evaluation report that does not include a complete record of your study.

In my case, i did direct entry to 200 level for my Bsc. i did not indicate this when filling WES form online because i was thinking that i will be evaluated base on higher qualification. please what can i do now?

unibadan: I am at a cross road. With the score of IELTS to be 18, Education is 23, Experience is 15, Age, 12. This gives a total of 68. a point higher than 67. Will there be a slim chance for me to be selected for the score of 68 without asking my wife to do IELTS for additional 5 point.

damkollins: I'll prefer you refer to them as dependants ......see the list above from what solomomwise listed.
If they do not fall among these set listed,they are not your dependants ....and so would not need PCC.
Cheers

solomonwis: You need PCC for everyone (spouse,children and adopted children above the age of 18 years) whether they are accompanying you to Canada or not.

ferdimako: U can marry this month but she must be d type that can do u d favor of passing IELTS. LOL

damkollins: 24 points!....hmmmmm...in this public address system of listening session!
Its well!

ferdimako: Try redoing ur IELTS with 24pts on ur mind or won't it still make up d benchmark?

ferdimako: It would have been okay with his mother being there-aunt. I'm afraid cousins are not among.

damkollins: Hmmmmmmm......I will need solomomwise's expertise on this your adaptability status while I try to explain to you what the books says about it.
Technically,I believe if the family tree is well explained to show the relationship between your cousin's parents (Uncle or Aunt) to your parent(Dad or Mum),It will be accpted.You will need their respective birth certificates as an evidence of proof of relationship.
As per CIC guidelines ,you can proove your adaptability for the listed relatives.....
Parents,Grandparents
Child,Grandchild
Brother,Sister
Aunt,Uncle or
Niece,Nephew
The above listed were officially listed on the documents checklist.
Cousins are not directly listed.....but I want to believe it should be accepted...my personal opinion.
I'll try to check out from some of my buddies if this will accepted.
Cheers.

damkollins: Age...................12points
Bsc....................21points
4 years exp .......13points
Adaptability......not sure you will get 5 points because in your cousin.....if it's your uncle ,it's fine.
IELTS................You will need a score of 21points to get minimum of 67 points required.
Commence process for your IELTS and ECA evaluation .
Cheers.

damkollins: I believe you should have a cumulative points of 70 only if you can prove that you job experience of 3 years 3 months is at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 edition of the Canadian National Occupational Classification(NOC).
What was your job/profession then.......if you dont mind.
Cheers.

damkollins: Your 1 yr 6months will give 9 points but your 3 years 3 months will only increase your points from 9 to 13 points only if the job experience is at at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 edition of the Canadian National Occupational Classification(NOC) and you have your experience letter from the employer in the format instructed in the document checklist.
If your job experience of 3 years 3 months fall into this category i quoted above and you have the experience letter to prove it,not forgetting the fact that it must be an experience gotten in the last 10 years .........your total experience will be cumulatively 4 years 9 months which will give you 13 points.
It simply means points awarded isn't limited to your chosen or interested NOC but also jobs at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 edition of the Canadian National Occupational Classification(NOC).
Cheers.

ANBAKO: My thought is that you will only be assessed based on these 21 months which will earn you 9 points.

ANBAKO: You will get 5 points for having proof of relationship in Canada. Only previous work experience in Canada (at least 1 year) will give you 10 points.
Good luck

ANBAKO: 9 points.

Ebenete: Hi Technolee. Do you mean "to whom it may concern" will not be accepted.

vinnygod: Chrigo please don't be weird at my questions.there's a saying that if you ain't informed you'll definitely be deformed.thanks bro. God ain't sleeping for your humanitarian service to this forum..you have affected so many lives here without demanding a penny...releasing powerful infos which ordinarily couldn't be gotten with $1000...God will surely reward you and other contributors of this forum

damkollins: CIC did not give specific instruction on who to address it so you really don't need to have sleepless night over it.I have personally seen applicants that address it to whoever it concerns and were successful .Some addressed theirs to CIC and they were fine too.
I did personalized mine for CIC too.It's your call......you won't be penalized either ways.
Cheers.
