@Spatz81, I carefully read through your post. That was a very important update to the rules that you brought to the fore. It means that if an applicant receives an ITA on say April 1st and has his birthday on May 1st and submits his eAPR on May 1st or after, whenever the immigration officer begins to review his application for eligibility checks (i.e. A11.2), he stands the chance of being denied permanent residence based on not being eligible if by virtue of losing points for age, his CRS drops below the required cut off for the draw in which he was invited.
However, if he submits after his birthday and yet even with the points lost for age, his CRS still meets or surpasses the cut off for the draw, his application would be fine. Also, if he goes ahead to submit his eAPR before his birthday on May 1st, his app would be fine.
Bottom line - once you receive an ITA, endeavour to submit your eAPR before your next birthday if you know that your CRS less 5 points would make you fall below the cut off for your draw.

@bimpsy99, pls take note that "your application would not be refused" is not the same as having a successful outcome.

@esosa4real, I got my passport back siiiiiincceee in February. It only took 5 days. Don't worry about your medicals, sometimes it gets updated quickly, other times it takes a while.

@40manlappy,congrats. This has been a long time coming. I wish you a smooth sail from here on.

@markab, I am female oh. I often wonder why "thanks bro" is the default response when someone gives a reply. Is it only men that provide answers? #justsaying

@lochinny, medical doctors can only evaluate their degrees through MCC and pharmacists can only evaluate theirs through PEBC, any other evaluation done by any other evaluating agency would be declared null and void by IRCC. If your husband is the PA and his estimated crs scores WITHOUT evaluating your own degree is 459, then y'all may want to write ielts and get his own degree evaluated and get into the pool asap to take advantage of the wind of low cut off draws.

@ugoiyke79e, that eAPR form can be dicey. You may have to fill all the info again seeing as it wiped off.

Greetings to all. Congrats to all new ITA recipients. And to the hopefuls, hang in there. It'll happen soon.

P.S.
If anyone new here sent me PMs, pls kindly endeavor to ask your questions here as I would be unable to respond to the messages via email.

Hello house.
Congrats to everyone with ITAs and everyone with aced IELTS scores.
pls elders in da house can anyone help explain why all d data i have filled in d post ITA form have all disappeared in d personal activities section?

I had filled and gone past this section and while uploading passport documents, i realized that i didnt mention a transit through germany....i decided to update d form with this info.....but upon using d update key, the personal activity section opened with no info therein.
I am now stuck. cant move on to d next page. I have logged out and in again....i have refreshed d page a lot....yet no data. Has anyone ever had this problem? how was it resolved?
shld i go ahead and refill the form is it pertinent to mention the transit through Germany?(approx 6hrs stay within d airport sef)

Lochinny:
I'm not the principal applicant. My husband is

lavivaavril:
Ehen you people that didn't answer my question yesterday, a friend not on this thread has told me what to do

Beem4cupid:
There is no point creating individual profile. Whoever has better score should be the PA and evaluating educational credential and aceing IELTS by the couple gives them more points.

esosa4real:


Thanks got the pcc sorted out. Pls how much did the Children consultant Hospital bill your spouse for medicals?

addiecube:
Hello everybody, I must commend the great work done here, it is really helping lives. Hubby just registered for this CIC program and I have 2 questions. He studied microbiology in the university and he has like 8yrs work experience in IT.
My Questions
1, Will his 2171 NOC count due to his university degree? [b][/b] NOC should be chosen based on his skill/work experience(in this case its IT) regardless of his degree
2, Presently under his CIC profile his work experience is not awarded any points and we are kinda bothered about that. This question got me confused. why is there no point awarded? didnt he choose number of years of experience outside canada?
Thank you all

Question 7: In addition to what boldinc said I think you can also add letters from your clients if you have them. I read it somewhere on CIC website but I can't remember where.

boldinc:
1. Yes, you should take out his work history and add to personal history.
2. You don't need to explain his source of funds. He can simply transfer to you and write an LOE. No need for gift deed since it's coming from your spouse.
3. You will not need his bank statement.
4. You could include all the statements you have access to, but the most important is the account that would have the POF he transfers to.
5. No, you do not need to include your daughter's bank statement.
6. No they do not, except they are being sold and the cash deposited in your account.
7. CAC doc should suffice and a letter from the company singed by HR if you have any or a partner.




Thanks so much @ boldinc. you have done well...

Hi All, Good day and Happy Friday!!! I do have a question to which all advise will be highly appreciated. In getting all docs ready (received ITA 3wks ago but stalling due to fbi pcc) and reading through recent comments, i realized some said i can take out my spouse work history and move to personal history, i however do need clarification. I see that i only got points for my hubby's ielts but no points for education (as I claimed no evaluation) and no points for work. However the entire funds for the trip is in my hubby's acct though i have access. We tried changing it to a joint account but not possible so we decided he will move it to me and give me a gift deed....
1) With this situation, can i still take out his work history and put in personal history so we don't need to get reference
2) Do we need to explain the source of his funds?
3) Would i need his bank statement or not
4) I have a current acct n savings acct in gtb, an acct in stanchart, one in stanbic and a biz acct in Diamond. I also have a foreign acct. Off all these, the only acct with tangible funds (over 500k) is the biz account. Do i need to include all the statement for these accounts.
5) Do we need to include daughter's (she is less than a year old) bank statement too as i am the signatory because i read somewhere that all bank statements are required
6) Do landed properties count as pof
7) I am currently self employed running prof devt training through my cac registered company which i added as part of employment, what do i submit as proof? Would cac doc and letter from clients suffice?

Sorry for my million and one questions, trying to cross all t's and dot all i's. Thanks

Develpeast:
Good evening house, I am looking towards writing my ielts exam next month and i am planning on registering before the week runs out. I need someone to brief me which is better, the general training or the academic ielts.

Your replies will be highly welcomed.

Hi All, I just want to let everyone know that l won't be regular on the thread anymore due to changes in my schedule. This might also affect the rate at which I attend to PMs. The good thing is that there are so many people on the thread that are knowledgeable about the process and will be able to answer any questions that may be asked.

I have learnt a lot, made some good friends through this thread and have enjoyed answering questions. I wish everyone on this journey quick PPR and smooth relocation to Canada.

Gurus in the house I'm still awaiting any answers or comments please. Thank u!

Ekpekus:

Fill the address of your hostel and the years you spent the're while filling "academics" as the corresponding events done under the period of review.
If say, you spent 4 years in school, fill it maybe June 2007- August 2011.
Then if you spend some months before NYSC while staying with your parents then fill accordingly.

esosa4real:


@ugoiyke79e2 This small info about Address hx, is what straightened me up on it, look at em.

emiye:
ok.
I raised a CSE to inform IRCC of change of marital status on Feb. 11, i didn't get any reply after 10 business days. So on March 1st, i sent the same details to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca, less than 2 hours after i had sent the mail, i got a mail to check my cic account. In my cic account was a letter sent by ircc asking me to update my spouse medical, pcc and passport (cic request letter). 3 new placeholders were also added on my cic account.

I am a bit confused which of the 2 actions(cse on feb. 11 or mail to cpc on mar. 1) made me get the response on March 1.

A day after the request letter from cic, My wife conducted her medicals and received her PCC on March 2. On March 3, i upoaded all the 3 requirements.

A link was sent where i could pay for her application fee, so i paid on March 4. March 6 , My medicals changed to pass

March 7. Further documents requested by IRCC for: (1)Schedule A -Background/declaration for my nysc period (i guess this was because i filled my nysc under personal history as government) . I would advise others yet to submit e APR to fill nysc as employment under personal history.
(2) schedule A for my wife. (3) travel history for my wife

March 8 - I filled and sent all d stuffs requested.
I hope this will help you

@byskoye, i did request my gcms notes. once in january and the second in february. i received the first about 3 weeks later and i am yet to receive the second. A friend in Canada helped request for it. you can use gcmsnow though or visafile I think others have used them without complaints.
@ugoiyke, scan all the relevant pages of your passport and use it for your eAPR, then you can go ahead and apply for a new passport. During the process of applying for a new passport, your old one would be taken from you so you won't have access to it and on return it would be stamped cancelled without prejudice. You are allowed to request for a passport renewal (or is it reissuance? i dunno) up to 3 months to your expiry date I believe. You can get first hand information from the NIS.
When you get a new passport, send a scanned copy of the biodata page by cse.

Chinnie4Jesus:
your passport has to be Atleast 6months to expiration before they can issue you with a new passport.

dupyshoo:
If you are lucky to get PPR before the expiry date of your passport, they won't issue visa on the passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months for theme to put the visa.

If your application exceeds 6 months and your passport expires before PPR, you will be given 7 days to submit a new passport. I know this cos we were in the same situation. My husby's passport expired during the processing of our application. We had to submit a new one within 7 days.

My advice is this: apply for a new passport immediately. If you don't get it before submission, use the old one. Once you get the new passport, send the scanned copy of the new one via CSE.

With regard to large deposit from spouse, the spouse will just write a simple LOE that he/she transfered the said amount to support the family's plan to immigrate to Canada. I can send you a draft of what my husby wrote.
