Hello all,
I am posting this on behalf of my colleague. She applied for PR through CEC 4 months ago. Two days ago IRCC requested that she resends her family history. She is scared that they specifically asked for that and opened up to me about her fear.
1.Her mom and her dad are separated so she never included her dad in her application; the family history section
2. Her older sister is married and has a diff surname so she's worried that maybe they are wondering why her surname is diff
3. She included someone who her mom adopted(not on paper but has lived with them since they were kids) as her half sister on her application but she has another surname as well (unmarried)....

So she is worried about how to address all of these specifically No. 3 since there is no paper evidence of the adoption. She is considering not adding her to the new documentation but worried IRCC might ask why she included her in the first place. What do you guys suggest please, should she remove her or leave it and provide some sort of explanation? Thank you

Okay Thank you. I understand.

Sample of ITA letter below. If her's doesn't say CEC, then that's where valid job offer comes in (as I understand it).

I have to admit to not understanding the valid job offer definition well. It's not 100% clear to me if an LMIA is needed or not (I thought it was but I'm not certain). Maybe others can help or check Canadavisa or ask a registered consultant.

Oh I understand. She got invited under the FSW category, but healthcare draw. So are you saying she cant use her pay stubs here only as POF cos its not CEC? Thank you

GraciousWords:




I think 73O9 is trying to highlight this:

Her ITA letter should have the stream she was invited on. The draw may have been CBD for healthcare or agric etc, but her stream will always be either FSW, CEC or FST. If she was invited as CEC, she's cool.

Yes she stated canadian experience in her profile. Yes it is the healthcare category not CEC

73O9:


Do note she bolded two things which are Canadian experience and offer letter.
Your friend was invited through health not CEC, meanwhile the offer letter is for CEC. Or did she also state Canadian experience in her profile?
I might be wrong but look through that opinion too.

Her job offer is valid so I think she's good then. Thank you

GraciousWords:


You do not have to meet the funds requirement if you were invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class.

The system currently asks all applicants to provide a proof of funds document. If you don’t need to provide proof of funds, you must upload a letter explaining either that you have been invited to apply under the Canadian Experience Class, or that you have a valid job offer.

What is a valid job offer? https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/offer-employment.html

This valid job offer matter....can anyone explain it in normal english?

Hi all, asking this question on behalf of my friend. She is a registered nurse in Canada and got ITA for the last healthcare category. She has a job here and she is wondering if she can just use her pay stubs, offer letter as POF instead of the minimum pof required. Thank you

Great! Thank you

No you don’t need a transit visa. Check PPR stories on the Canadian student thread, most people go through Amsterdam or Paris.

Hello everyone,

I want to book a flight ticket to Toronto from Lagos through airfrance. I understand that my stop over will be at either Amsterdam or Paris or both. I want to enquire if I would need a transit visa. I have checked online and I’ve found conflicting information. Pls help thank you

Hi guys

So I just got an ADR pertaining to my application. I’m a bit confused tho. I have no clue what the second request is and the first one says to sign the schedule A in an original signature. Does that mean I have to print out the form to sign it then scan it back ? Thank you in anticipation of your responses

Thank you

Profgordons:
Yup

Hi all, thanks for all you do. I’m asking this question on behalf of a friend’s brother. He wants to start his PR process and I told him he only needs to evaluate his highest degree which is his masters (from the UK)…..his bsc is from Nigeria. Just wanted to confirm I’m giving the right info?

Ookay. Thank you

littyprincess:

No. A permanent resident visa will be issued to you. Your trv becomes void

Oh great! So peradventure I get the PPR before I leave Nigeria, I can enter Canada with my TRV right?

aestake:

PRTD is for permanent residents who don't have or card when they traveled. So they apply for that in order to be allowed reentry to Canada. Not for someone who is waiting or getting PPR outside Canada.

Hi again, I’m back with another question lol.
So I’m on work permit in Canada with a TRV that expires in 2025. However I had to travel to Nigeria for an emergency and I’m still going to be here till late April or early May. With the way PR applications are fast these days, if mine is approved before I leave for Canada, someone said I’ll need a PRTD to enter Canada again as my TRV will be useless and I need to apply for the PRTD. Note: I applied for PR outside Canada(2 weeks after I travelled to Nigeria to be specific). Please does anyone know anything about this?

Lol no it’s not misrepresentation. My job was a position created for covid so the job title wasn’t there but I was able to fit it into something similar and I got a legit letter from my employer. I was just trying to think of a worse case scenario that’s all. Thank you tho

leopardinatree:


Why should it be deducted is the question. You are giving us half-baked information. Perhaps you could explain a little more so we could be more helpful…but at face value I’m thinking 496 is still above 489 so you are safe so long as you steer clear of misrepresentation.

Hello everyone. I have submitted my application and awaiting a response from IRCc. However I have some concerns about my Canadian work experience so I was wondering what happens if the 35 points I claimed for it was deducted by the VO, will I still be eligible as my total score is still above the draw cut off that day. I’ve attached pictures to provide more clarity. 489 was the cut off

I’m trying to qualify for CEC. Based on what I read, Noc C doesn’t qualify for CEC which is customer service. That’s why I’m trying to see if it fits into administrative roles

Zeewirld:
... It's more of a customer service role.In short,a significant number of the JDs quoted supports customer services roles. What exactly is your proposed NOCs and real JD?

Hi everyone, I have come again with my wahala. Please what Noc code do y’all think fits ? I was thinking customer service but my friend said it’s more than customer service and more administrative in the health field. What do you guys think please ? Thank you

Thank you

Look up Deo Goodness on YouTube. She has a number of videos on the Australian pathway as she has done it.

Hello all,

Has any nurse here used Josef Silny before ?

Also has any nurse done the Australian pathway?

Great! Thank you. To clarify, it’s fine to select No here and put it in personal history after ITA? I apologize for the back and forth. Just wanna be on the right page

ednut1:
you cant submit it without evaluation, Don't fill it simple. put in personal history after ITA

Also she doesn’t want to evaluate it since she has enough points for both. So it is possible to just submit his secondary school cert without it being evaluated ?

Tvickie:


Okay thanks! She already has enough points for both of them. She just wants to know if she has to evaluate the waec too. He didn’t finish BSC that’s why he can’t claim that

ednut1:
Waec only gives him 2 points while BSc would have given 8 points. No points for spouse work experience unless it was gotten in Canada so its irrelevant.

Okay thanks! She already has enough points for both of them. She just wants to know if she has to evaluate the waec too. He didn’t finish BSC that’s why he can’t claim that

Hi everyone and happy new year. A friend of mine wants to apply for PR with her spouse. Her spouse has just secondary school certificate and didn’t finish his uni education. Does he need to evaluate anything ?

Also He also wants to claim the job in the attached image this is what he does in his uncle’s company without university education …. Is it possible ?!

Hi all, thanks for all you do here. I have decided to try out an application with the US for new York and Texas. I’ve been reading all info all day and I’m sort of confused with the cgfns. I got to a stage that asked for ‘primary and secondary school’ information. I want to be sure that’s correct and what I am required to fill. Also, does that mean I’ll be required to send my common entrance cert and waec to cfgns alongside the other documents for evaluation? Want to be sure before I input anything. Thank you again

Pls ask others too ooo lol

Godtemi:


Thanks alot

I’m not a pro, but my cousin was in a similar situation and all he did was balance the money and submit the gift deed certificate again and put it in fixed deposit for 3 months, then sent both documents to IRCC and it worked for us sha

Godtemi:
A Friend of mine received AOR for POF. But he used gift of deed, now the money in the account is not up to the POF money, please what can he do?

Can he balance the money, and show them the same statement of account?

Great. Thanks

ednut1:
not relevant. Can stay anywhere he wishes

Hello all, I have come again with my many questions ooooo lol. So my brother’s letter just arrived today and we saw ‘Province of destination as Saskatchewan’ meanwhile we filled all provinces during application. It’s FSW too. We’re confused because the plan is for him to come stay with me in Ontario. Does this mean he has to come into Canada through SK and has to stay there? Thanks for all you do

Thank you

seunpinky:

Leave the money in the Nigerian bank account, ensure that he has access to online banking so he can easily login to the account with his mobile phone at the point of entry.

Hello everyone, my brother’s PR has been approved and we’re abit confused about the POF. We heard he can be requested to show the POF at the entry point. My question is do we leave the money inside the Nigerian bank account and print along a bank statement showing the money is still there? Or we do cash or what are the alternatives? Someone said he can send the money to me (since I’m in Canada) and we’ll just need to prove we’re siblings but I dunno if that’s a thing. Thank you
