Good day all,

Please will my wife need to write the IELTS exam before joining me? I am looking at a situation where one applies as a single and gets married some months before moving to Canada permanently.

Meanwhile, this thread has been informative; kudos to you guys.

it is not compulsory for your wife to write I LETS, but the process if bringing your spouse later is a little bit tedious if not in your application now. You need to have a stable job for at least one year, accommodation, evidence that you pay your utility bill etc. I don't know your month of application? I will have advice you do your wedding before MR and include your spouse in your application, but be ready to show updated POF if you include your spouse by this she cab be included in the application and can decide to join you later before visa expire. I hope I answered you correctly.

Hello people,

I got married in Jan '15, and informed AVO in March via the 'Case Specific Enquiry – Accra' portal about the change and a confirmation email was received. I received my MR on 17 June but was surprised nothing about my wife was requested/mentioned. Please advise on how to update my application with my wife's information

Application submitted: 13 Aug, 2014

CC charged: 17 Nov, 2014

PER: 3 Dec, 2014

MR: 17 Jun, 2015

send another CSE to them about your wife application and make sure you include your marriage certificate

I saw some posts earlier about using pension as proof of funds and i'm interested in pursuing that thought. I really wish it would be admissible, has anyone successfully tendered their Pension statement?
Is it really acceptable because PENCOM Act says "The employee may only withdraw from this account at the age of 50 or upon retirement thereafter". If the CIC guys are not aware of this...can one present it to them?

you can only use RSA for CIC, VO will not accept RSA

Kirri:

Dear Candidate

N.B:IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUT YESTERDAY..........what do they mean by quality assessment pls

JesusDWay:
How does joining a professional body increase your score? Wont you have to write their exams and get certificated first? Abeg, enlighten me on this o . Meanwhile, if you know of any or can help with available jobs in that line, kindly let me know. It's what i've been wanting to do. I used to know the two major professional bodies in Supply Chain in Canada but i've forgotten now. May have to research again

I have applied for several purchasing jobs in Canada but they keep coming back to me that I have to be a citizen or permanent residence before they can offer me job. I'm a Nov applicant with NOC 0113 and PER in March. Hopefully at the rate AVO is going maybe it will get to Nov applicant by October. If you need more detail about the certification for Procurement you can PM me

Kirri:
Hello House


My ancestors I hail thee

By the way I won't stop asking until I get a positive response from the house

I would like to join a procurement/supply chain management body in canada
I'm a procurement specialist and would love to join a canadian procurement body to increase my my score
Anyone with info pls

Thanks in anticipation

I'm not sure being a member will boost your point. I'm a Procurement/supply chain person. I'm currently holding a membership of Institute for Supply Managent USA. I will write their proffesional exam this month ( CPSM 1 and 2) and write the CPSM 3 latter in July. Once i pass the three exam I can then apply for my certificate which can will be converted to SCMA in Canada.

This fsw is turning out to be a long long wait. Applied August 20, 2014, received PER since Dec 9th, 2014. Up until now, no word from AVO. Anyone aware of the status with fsw applications now please?

AVO is about to start treating July applicant, so remain calm and continue with other activities. August applicant will probably be attended to around June

ozzy2:

emmanok24:
Greetings House!

I have a number of question I want to ask and I plead with those who can help to please answer me patiently.

1. I want to Migrate to Canada with my wife. Do I need an Agent?

2. I'm an ND holder while my wife holds an HND. Does our educational qualifications matter?

3. What are the steps to be taken in order to begin the process?

4. What will the financial commitment look like (In Naira)

It's a dream for me and will appreciate if anyone can provide detailed information. Thank you.

Pax!

If you can follow the various forum on internet you don't need an agent. Your qualification matters a lot and in this case your wife education is higher than yours. The number of years of experience in your work also mater. First step is to evaluate your educational credential with a Canadian body like WES and also write IELTS exam conducted by British council

bolinchin:
@solomon wis or any other person that understands wes pls i need the answer to this question:I have a copy of my official transcript adressed to a particular organisation(not wes).Do you think wes will acept it cos am thinkin of boycoting d long process and financial aspect of processing another transcript.I still av to process my msc and phd from another school.or do i just send msc and phd alone for verification.tks

You cannot send the transcript to WES since it is address to another organisation. You can get transcript for your highest qualification alone and just include photocopies of your B.Sc and M.Sc certificate

Hello people,

I got info from my bank that CIC attempted my card twice yesterday (a minute interval) and couldnt go through. What i discovered was an error from my bank who placed hold on my account without informing me.

My bank has removed the hold and the account is free to be debited. In this case, will CIC attempt to debit again or should i call CIC and explain and that they should go ahead to debit my account.

please this is urgent.

Thank you

Unibadan CIC will try to charge your account thrice, please write to your bank that they should grant CIC access to take the amount.

Alhamdulilahi robil alameen, the long awaited MR arrived this morning @ 8.46am (US Eastern Time)
Salutations to my Ogas (Solomonwis and Damkollins)

My timeline is as follows:
My NOC is 2172
1. June 19, 2014 Submitted my application
2. Oct 16, 2014 Received my PER
3. I notified Accra of my change in residence (now studying and living in US)
4. March 18, 2015 (had a baby but I have not notified Accra as I just started processing her international passport)
5. March 30, 2015 - Received my medical request + request for police clearance from Nigeria which I earlier submitted with my application in June

Solomonwis and Damkollins, I need your advice once more. How do I go about this? Should we (myself, wife and son) proceed for our medical and wait for my new baby's passport to arrive so that we can send everything together to Accra. I am planning on submitting an application for the new baby tomorrow and I have been told it will take 2 weeks for expedited processing.

Secondly, I have been asked to produce a new PCC even though we submitted one with my application in June 2014. I have the photocopies with me. Should I ignore the request and attach the photocopies I have because I don't know how possible it is to get the PCC from Nigeria as I am currently in US.

Thank you

congrat friend

LadyGuinivere:
Hello good people.
I earlier on asked a question about how to go about my FSW 2013 application. Today I got a mail asking me to appear for an interview o. Please has anybody gone? And what were u asked?
Nagode!

just make sure that you remember all what you fill in your form. On Canada visa forum some other people from other VO that went for interview says its a simple interview ranging from your job description to family detail etc. Please remain calm and also maintain eye to eye contact with your interviewer. The information in your application is provided by you so I don't see any big deal. Wish you all the best.
