LecturerIFE:

LecturerIFE:
Congratulations

vickyehi:
When submitting an application, I dont need to submit a letter of introduction from the current place of employment if I am not claiming points for it abi?

Iwinosified:
Congratulations to all the new pprs. Please urgent request: Is it necessary to include the imm008 generic form and additional family form in your envelope while submitting passports to vfs? (even when there has been no addition to your family) .There are conflicting responses here so I'm begging for responses from those who have submitted recently, as well as our seniors. Thank you all.
Edit- just saw a link on page 1 by Joo2018.Thanks. Obviously, these forms do not need to be filled, if there has been no change in family composition. I hope I'm right?

Request Letters
I notified CIC of the change in my marital status on July 1st via mail sent directly to the Accra office (ACCRAIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca). I received a request letter in three days with the following requests;

1. Client Information: Pay the 30$ re-issue visa fee

2. Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature For applicant and spouse

4. Client Information: Spousal Application Kit

5. Client Information: Processing fee and RPRF fee for spouse

6. Client Information: Return Passport and Confirmation of Permanent Residence

I tweeted at the IRCC handle to enquire about the Spousal Application Kit but was directed to ask the office who requested it. So I mailed AVO again and received another request letter with the following requests;

1. Processing fee, Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF), and Biometric fee for your spouse or CLP

3. Forms

8. Medical certificate


List of Documents Submitted

Submission Strategy
So I took time to read a couple of PPR scripts and realized how most people had to compress a lot of pages making their PDF difficult to read. Most got ADR’s requesting re-submission of certain documents.

So I decided to split my submission into two separate PDF’s and I created a Table of Content for both.

Schedule A and Additional Family Info had place holders in my CIC profile so I uploaded them directly.

The third place holder on my profile was named “Spousal Application Kit” so I uploaded one of my Merged PDF’s on it and named it “Spousal Application Kit – Part 1”.

On the Table of Contents for “Spousal Application Kit – Part 1”, I added a segment at the bottom stating that “Spousal Application Kit – Part 2” was sent via the AVO Webform and I listed all the documents I included in it.


Appreciation
Once again I would like to appreciate everyone who has contributed on the Express Entry Threads and to those who also take time to type out their PPR scripts. You are all the true definitions of super stars.

Special Appreciation to Eddy4400 for your help in answering some of my questions. I wish you and your spouse a speedy PPR Version 2. I’m looking forward to reading your script soon IJN.

To everyone who is still at one stage or the other, keep pushing, keep praying and keep believing. You shall be celebrated soon. God bless you all.

Eddy4400:

Eddy4400:
Nope, no request either

Chamberlain76:
Ok, thanks. Please I'll PM you to get more clarity on the Schedule A

Eddy4400:
For your spouse?

ladymarshall:
O CIC, why hast thou forsaken me?
In uncertainty I wait
To know my fate
Restless as a bee
Helpless as the troubled sea

All day long, I wonder,
Does trouble loom?
Is my file doomed?
All night long, I ponder,
In silent nights, I lay confused
in scented lights, my brain contuse
I feel consumed, my thoughts subsumed
in letters 'Ty' 'Ty' Ty'
Eligibility
Security
Criminality
I've done no wrong
Yet feel so pronged
Haunted by the letter 'R'
Confronted by the letters 'RR'

O CIC
How I long for speedy diligence
To fight this impatience
Caused by your negligence
Give me my residency
My soul needs the permanency
To restore my sanity
The wait feels like eternity

I freeze...my breath cease...my spirit uneasy...queasy

And in the hollows of my inanity
My mother blessed with superhumanity
Spoke the words of the divinity
Laced with spirituality
Alas! I feel serenity, tranquility
Her words like a psalm, soothes like a balm
I'm calm, no qualm
As hope rays, it will end in praise.

Hello beautiful people,

I have a quick question. I have been denied uk visit visa before which I have declared in my application. Is it okay to attach a copy of the refusal letter under Client information placeholder? Is there anyone who has done this before?

Pleas help with your answers

Remicynt:
I work in a school and I took permission from the owner before I left. Would it be reflected in the reference letter.

Kendrix69:
And I didn't intend to quote anyone, it was meant for anyone who needed it

Remicynt:
Someone should plz answer this question I am very curious to know. Good morning great people of Nairaland

1 Does CIC call the bank and ask them how much ur balance is at a particular period to verify ur balance post AOR ?

2) Does CIC call/email ur boss who signed ur reference letter & put his official email address on the ref letter or they will send an email to the company email that is on the letterhead ?

3) In 2016 I left my place of work which is a school for a graduate trainee program which lasted frm Feb to May 2016. I returned back to my place of work after the program wasn't successful. How do I write my reference letter.

4) I need a sample of reference letter which the salary was paid in cash and also a cash certificate.
Thank u as u answer my questions .
