ysteph:
My statement was ''all CRS score of 451 after July 21, 2017 won't recieve ITA''.
Elfmann said before. I said it is after and not before.
You are saying all profiles created before July 21 with 451 will receive ITA.
So we are saying the same thing in different ways.

@ysteph my friend,

I wasn't particularly quoting you, I just wanted to clarify the tie breaking rule so that our new members (especially those in silent mode) can understand it in simple terms.

BTW, you were actually right about the tie breaking rule explanation. God bless you.

Guys, guess who searched my Linkedin profile in the past one week?

High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom

Wow, these folks ain't joking men.

To think they go that far to check up on person?


But the certain thing is that it will end in praise IJN!

NB: @Newmum, I think it in order to start "declaring" in anticipation of your "soon to land" PPR news.

Congratulations to all our IELTS smashers in the house. So refreshing "something" to savour.

And to think that we ve witnessed the best of band scores there is, new crop of folks keep raising the bar to our collective admiration.

To those still hoping to achieve the desired scores, God will do it soon. Pls keep at it, don't loose focus on the #CanadianDestination!

Ok, pls PM me Sir. Thank you.

Done. Thank you.

CheekyGirl:
Sorry about that. The only way I can help is to give you a contact there. I didn't have to fill any form.

@CheekyGirl, Can you help me with the contact too? Thanks.

Try Internet explorer/mozilla firefox. It also happened to me. For the Schedule A and refusal notes, maybe sneak them with your passport (after the passport pages )

Thank you...your advice is so apt!

I was thinking along that direction also...If the ADDITIONAL DOCs placeholder doesn't eventually pop up, the Passport placeholder will be ok to sneak the Schedule A and refusal notes into...as back PDF pages on that upload along with the datapage, visa,stamps and refusal passport markings being at the front.

Ethelia:
It happens sometimes. There should be a separate placeholder for Additional document / LOE something like that. Try logging in with a different web browser, hopefully it will pop up (unless they have changed the system)

The placeholders have been generated for me since 29th of May (public hols that afforded me time to populate it carefully). Since then, I have logged in and out more than 4 times...No extra placeholder popped up.

BTW, I'm using chrome browser as suggested by a friend here..and I have upgraded my Internet...quite fast now!

I'll try again, if it didn't show...I'll put the LOE as cover page to the specific category (I doubt whether I ve more than 3 LOEs to submit anyways)

But where can I upload my upfront Schedule A along with my UK refusal notes if I eventually don't get the additional document placeholder?


It will all end in praise IJN!

chizilulu:
You can upload your LOE in the placeholder the letter is addressing, say an LOE for work experience can be uploaded in the work experience placeholder with the work reference letter and other docs. OR you upload your LOE in the additional document placeholder. I did the former and had only schedule a form and its LOE in the additional document placeholder

Thank you @chizilulu

I get you but the thing is I didn't get an "additional document" placeholder when I finished populating the profile forms.

I got placeholders (upload option) for:

1. Police
2. Medical
3. Education
4. Marriage
5. Work experience
6. Proof of funds
7. Passport
8. Ditigal photo

And something similar for wifey too.

I can't find any upload option for additional document. Could I have filled something wrong at the profile forms stage?

Hello @TEECANN, Trust your day is went well.

Do you have a whatsapp group for May 23 ITA recipients. Would like to join. Thank you.

God will surely finish that He started in Jesus name, Amen.

You re just in the spirit as we are about floating one.

A couple of e-fam here and outside of here were interested and wanted us to jumpstart one.

We may as well have one. Reach me behind the veil to get your details (and that includes any other May 23 ITA clinchers that is interested)

Newmum0615:
Schedule A form is not entirely complusory. Some applicants with previous visa refusals submit it upfront and upload it in the Additional Document placeholder cos some VOs have been known to send ADRs for them. The same info you provide on the schedule A is already requested for on your post-ITA application, but sometimes when something is not clear, I presume, then the VO seeks for clarification and ask that you upload one. It contains info about your parents, education, personal history, visa refusals, affiliation to professional organizations and the military and other security details. If you want to fill or get an ADR for it, then you are to submit for you and your spouse.

God bless these beautiful souls...

Thank you. Incidentally, I have previously filled the form for self and spouse with SINP and though I knew it to be a federal form, I just wondered where it comes into the EE- PR equation here.

As we both have UK refusals, I will fill it upfront and scan into our general LOE placeholder then.

BTW, I didnt see a placeholder for Letter of Explanation (LOE). All I have are placeholders for specific documents and same for wifey. I thought I was supposed to see a placeholder for "general" LOE? What may be happening gangan?

Wakanowdotcom:


Great! Thanks!
And please where does Schedule A go? Will that be with the data page,stamps and visas?

TEECANN:
Which one is Schedule A again, you people should not get me confused ooo!

I have populated my application profile forms and the system has generated the placeholders for me to attach the necessary docs in PDF...pretty straightforward.

I have not seen anywhere where I have been asked to fill any federal form- Schedule A form is a federal form (Am I missing out something? this is serious oooo )

CC: Newmum, GlitteringStar, let God use you to come to my aid ooo!

Help my ministry ooo before you later say why didn't I ask?

Newmum0615:
Merge the POF LOE with your POF docs. Let it be the 1 st page. The general LOE should be uploaded in the additional doc placeholder. Other specific LOEs should be added to their specific docs and uploaded in the right placeholders.

his

I understand and get this!

Thank you @Newmum and all other e-family members here for your selflessness. God bless.

Honestly, I thought listening was my strongest point but the section's 2 and 3 disorganised me. I almost gave up sef, resigned to retaking but I went back and tried to put the answers together.

It's a known trend that has been discussed severally in many fora...IELTS tests in no particular order come served with different difficulty levels- ranging from basic to moderate to hard.

I believe my test of April 21st fell somewhere between basic and medium difficulty level.

From the general reports here, this last test seems like one of those test days where the level of difficulty is hard.

Not a day I'd love to show up at the test centre.

To all ma folks here that sat for this last IELTS, (We are soldiering on- Its a #CanadianDestination call) don't give up just yet because...

Otydallas123:
Hello Everyone. Good day.

Please I urgently need the customer service email for WES. I wish ti send them a mail to cancel my BSc evaluation and evaluate just my MSc.

This is due to the frustration from Uniuyo. First, the said fire burned down exams & records unit in 2013, later they said an armed robber invaded my department and stole files while the Faculty is now saying they can't find my file.

With all the money i've spent from one officer to another.

Kindly assist. I hope this wont bring any issues with WES.

Regards,

No email address. You can either reach them through the "CONTACT US" page on their website or tweet a DM at them @WESCanada

In the alternative, search this thread for a post on how to withdraw a credential from the list of credentials previously listed to WES for evaluation. I saw that post some weeks ago.

Intermittent poster/long post alert!

RPRF to PPR: 41 days

Now,its my choice to move or not, as I am elf sufficient(we have better prospects at our jobs compared to 3 years ago). Delay is never Denial.

I just wrote all the above to encourage someone who may be in despair right now. Don’t loose hope, don’t loose your focus, if you need to change the plan, change it! but don't change your goal. In all pray and put action to work!

See you all in Maple Land.

Big congratulations! @Ottawaboi

This is one of the best and inspiring PPR stories I have read in recent times.

Thank God it all ended for you and your family in praises!


Go and flourish in your new home. We are coming behind you.

rosepetraa:
In my opinion, I think it's better to raise a CSE. If you think they'll send ADR and instead they end up rejecting your application altogether?

OP @naijismyown

I concur with @rosepetraa.

Be proactive by sending a CSE attaching all the sibling documents on the strength of what you seen in your GCMS notes and back it up with a detailed explanation. Don't bank on getting an ADR that may turn out to be a refusal...that's a gamble you can't afford!

remiaig:
I would suggest trying to get a job in the area of finance you would love to pursue in Canada first before considering taking a diploma. Some organizations pay for you to take certain professional exams required for the Job, and also provide training. I have seen cases were companies offer to pay for the candidates CSC exams which is a requirement for the job. Depending on the part of Canada you are relocating to, you can take advantage of the bridging programs offered by settlement agencies at little or no cost. In my opinion, for finance related professionals just arriving Canada, taking a diploma or another Masters program should be a last resort after exploring all options.

Thank you @remiaig for your thoughts.

But really, I am a bit confused with the conflicting vibes.

1. Why are some folks in the prairies stucked on transit jobs? (They will most probably be professionals in Nigeria before relocating either through PNP or FSW- Agreed, most don't want to go back to school or don't have the resources to pursue that venture and just feel comfortable earning the cash from transit jobs) What is the underlying issue(s) here really- no/scarce professional jobs, advanced age disadvantage, no Canadian education, etc. Could the situation be similar in Ontario?
cc: @papaking1 and others, can you kindly explain this scenario further? some of us are curious!

2. I also read that you need to get the Canadian education and experience (maybe through school internship)...since most international students seem to be having headway in this regard.

3. Now, my friend @remiaig said a diploma or masters should be the last resort of a finance related professional...how does this landed PR finance professional get his own headway "assurance" job-wise? Except you say the post-arrival settlement trainings and internship (plus the pre-arrival trainings he has done before departing Naija) will suffice to get him started and landing a job in the interim...at least maybe an 80% assurance.

BTW, lets use Ontario as the landing bus stop for this hypothetical finance professional PR bros.


Other landed seniors abeg, please weigh in, as very important as information in this regard is, it is few and scanty for the most part


Thank you.

gentleiphy:
Very apt and on point @Salford1...all what you said are nothing but the facts..i mean everything.International students from Nigeria without even the PR and still on work permit after school don't look for jobs...they are the first to be absorbed even before the back home experienced loaded Nigerian PR holders...so true.

@gentleiphy,

Thanks for the heads up. Some of us will be landing as FSW PR with prior post-graduate and professional qualifications (which I know count for little in Canada).

Talking about getting the Canadian education (to aid getting a decent professional job role), for instance, will it be adequate for a finance person with prior MBA to re-do a full finance MASTERS degree or just take a DIPLOMA program that is tailored for the job role he intends to pursue in Canada

CC: @maternal, @salford1, @blackbuddy et al, your thoughts will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Ifeoma77:
@teecan I had that issue too when I was creating my EE profile. Searched previous threads and other forums and tried the different solutions provided (try different browsers, clear cache etc)
The most sensible answer said it had to do with my internet speed so I waited till evening when network is faster and it went smoothly

Thank you Ifeoma, so kind of you. I may have to declare vigil on this forms filling and uploading matter oo.

Dhejavu:
Hi bro, i made use of Chrome for filling and used explorer to download Sch A. I stay at ilupeju too and made use of 9mobile but filled my form and uploaded late at night. It will surely end in praise.

Thank you. I hope to get "smile modem" tomorrow and install chrome on the lappie...with these and late night working schedule, God willing, I should be able to make progress.

Also search this thread, i think there has some reported cases in the past

Thank you. I did some digging up too and I am suspecting my internet speed.

BTW, can anybody suggest the best/fastest internet service provider (that works fine around Gbagada-Ilupeju axis of Lagos) with decent pricing? I need to set up a better internet at home for this hustle, abeg...I wan avoid story that touch

Hello fam,

When I ve planned on using this public holiday to populate the profile forms and take those off the way and I am having this error issue.

I signed into my profile and clicked "CONTINUE".

It directed me to the PR Application forms.

I was filling up "personal details" and filled up to the last part "relatives sub-form" and when I clicked on "SAVE AND ADD" so I can populate for others, this error pop-up came up- "appendGrid does not initialized" and I couldn't save and add nor proceed.

Please, has anyone- both present or former applicant" experienced this? How I can I resolve it please?

NB: I am using Mozilla browser, can it be a problem?

Thank you in advance.

Canadianhopeful:
if she really hasn't submitted it at all, that will be really sad. I doubt she is dubious, she has successfully helped some acquaintances and never ignores our calls, she also promptly responds to emails and whatsapp messages , but we just feel there is something she is not saying or doing. I cab now see from everything that ielts is the starting point of moving forward. I feel really dejected right now but moving forward is the only option right now

Elfmannisback:
She can not claim to have done something without ielts, eca, medicals and police report. Meanwhile, u can not even stand a chance without the first two... So confront her. How have you paid her?

Canadianhopeful:
yes, we paid her upfront plus application fees. She didn't ask for medicals, just ECA and ielts

Madam, the new upgraded express entry started in 2015 and from your chat, if memory serves me right, I think you said you started the process in 2016...Hence, what folks are telling you about the Express Entry procedures here are extant (ie very current and active for your case) and I presume that should also apply to your 2016 application.

Please, probe deeper and know the truth...one sure way to know what to ask for is by you to first of all, understand the express entry process and all that it entails. If your fears eventually gets confirmed (ie that you have been duped), please by all means, help yourself by "doing it yourself". You are a graduate, you can read and more importantly, you understand English as you will still pass IELTS. So there's no biggie to it, just create interest and time and take it step by step.


NB: Over the couple of threads previous, I have seen people with more zero knowledge of the express entry stagger into the threads, who came crying about their travails in the hands of agents (before they discover the express entry threads) and went ahead to get PPR- doing it step by step- WES evaluation, IELTS, ITA until their PPR dropped. Literally from the scratch...zero knowledge. You too can do it!
