Hello house, I would like to know if this would affect my application. I have a substantial part of my pof for a family of 5..plan to sell a car( 2.5M) to complete the sum after ITA. Do I need a letter of explanation for this lump sum.
Yes, you need to explain the source of the sum. Also, you need to include the sale of property agreement and also let the buyer narrate the transaction as sale of Toyota Camry/Corolla or Benz C300 or whatever car it is - just to be thorough.

Congratulations on your nomination. You will get your ITA in the next draw regardless of the draw type. That said, how many days did it take Ontario to process your application?

Last CEC 431
Last FSW 478

If the next draw is CEC only, some CEC outland (not in Canada at the moment) with sub 430 may get ITA before FSW in the 470s...the irony!

.....keep doing your part....your time and season will come....hang in there folks!
I'm telling you. The subjective me would say they should stop playing with people's emotions though cheesy

I also think that IRCC might alternate between draws to ensure that the cut off stay pretty high.

Bad news for people with 460s. The rate at which people are joining the pool has increased significantly too. About 1931 candidates joined the pool between the time of the last draw and yesterday. No one knows the number of CECs amongst those numbers though.

Good morning all...
My first time commenting despite every day follow up.
Just got my IELTS result.
LRWS- 9, 8.5, 7, 8
I was super scared of writing because i did not have time to check for errors and was super nervous while writing. I even changed "Yours Faithfully" to "Yours Faithfuly" after convincing myself it is supposed to be single L. But i was confident of paraphrasing, answering all task, relevant examples and word count. I hope this helps everyone struggling with writing..make sure you have those four factors done successfully.
For Listening, practice with ieltsonline.com. i had done the whole part 4 word for word just 2days to the exam, so that is 10 questions with no hassles.
Above all, glory be to God for He is the One who did it.
I hope for favourable draw.
And success in all our canny journey.
Happy weekend everyone
You mean what you did on ieltsonline.com came out in the test? cheesy

Good morning everyone, so I just checked my IELTS I had LRWS 9,8.5,7,7. Is it advisable I apply for a remark for my speaking?
It's just 15k you've got to lose if they both come back unchanged. A .5 increase in one would increase your CRS score by 3points. If there are changes in the two modules, you get a 6points increase!!!

Hello people, my score in the pool currently is 393, my hubby and myself have masters. My last lelts result was L.7.5, W.6.5, R.7.0, S.7.5. I am taking the IELTS again later this month, I aim to score at least 8.7.7.7 to boost my score. I heard TEF can help boost my CRS score, can someone advise how TEF can help boost my score. I am willing to learn french seriously and try the exam in 3 months to see if it can help.
Don't target 8777, target higher scores. IELTS can also contribute to your CRS score. As for french, except you know french a little, it's hard to learn and sit for the exams in 3months.

It's actually not the same standard as you stated. With my findings, IELTS believes Nigerians were colonised by Britain so they expect us to be vast and sound in the use of English when compared with the UAE that do not speak English pretty much. Dubai people do not understand English as much as Nigerians so their IELTS is far simpler than Nigeria's. I hope you gat the drift? I stand to be corrected my people...

I'm happy you've cleared my doubt that I can write it anywhere in the world. I would prefer going to write it in Dubai so as to ace it once and for all...

Thanks

Have you seen the scores of those Indians? cheesy

Do you really want to dash the dubai government more money on top the IELTS that you can easily ace here if you practice hard?

Lol. How funny.

wrong. a simple letter of consent from the spouse is all that is required.

Citizenship and Immigrations Canada
Centralized Intake Office (CIO)

Dear Visa Officer,
LETTER OF CONSENT
I, XXXXXXXX, an accompany spouse, hereby give a consent for my wife, XXXXX , to use the funds in the account submitted for our permanent residency application.
I also will like to confirm that the fund which is held as fixed deposit with XXXX Bank of Nigeria is available and with full access to her for the settlement of our family in Canada.
I have no objection in handling these funds over to my wife for settlement in Canada.

Yours faithfully

XXXXXX XXXXXXX
Thanks for the insight. I wasn't sure, hence the "probably".

he wants to use two or more degrees not masters
If he's under 30, he needs CLB 10 in at least 3 modules to be in the 470s. Maxing out IELTS if he's using two or more degrees and under 30 would give him 474.

thanks. Sorry to bother you further. Will it be the same if i'm using accompanying spouse's treasury bill?
You don't have access to your spouse's treasury bills so this won't be viable. You probably need to crash the investment and move the money to either a joint account with a signatory proof from the bank or have the money moved to your personal bank account then do a gift deed.

8777 worked in the past. You need to max at least 3 or all to enter 470s
With a masters degree, you need CLB 10 in atleast one module to nail 470s. I'd always advise people to aim at maxing out IELTS - as hard as it sounds. It's doable, people just have to put in the hardwork.

Ganduje is definitely up to something, a sensible PhD holder from prestigious University of Ibadan who wrote many books , cant be this stupid

no wonder El Rufai isn't taking any chances with crazy kano state neighbors , he is locking up for 30 days and deporting every deportable Kano indegne

Buhari better deploy soldiers to North especially Kano, because police wont be effective controlling this people

.
Of course he is! This moment he's complaining that FG isn't doing anything for Kano and the next moment, he's begging them to lift lockdown that isn't even one week old - bar the previous lockdown he imposed. He didn't think they'll need food before he gave his own lockdown orders.

He should tell us what he really wants, instead of coming here and playing all of us like this.

Btw, na soldier dem dey use for Kano before. Dem sef know say those mallos no go hear word if dem no use soldiers.
