Thank you.

If you have gone for interview and was denied it’s not possible to do IW.

Hello guys,

Pls can someone whose visa expired in 2019 but got refused at the point of dropbox renewal same year, be eligible for the interview waiver now.

I will appreciate your responses.

Thank you.

Thanks. Let's see how it goes

ShoeShineGuy:
Those people at Sask appear to be an extension of IRCC. So so backlogs.. Saskatchewan Delay Delay is now their full names! Imagine, people now wait for at least 7months to get their nomination with this prairie peeps approved when Ontario and Manitoba do theirs in 30-40days!

Pls don't get me wrong o. It's always a welcome development when a province is nominating someone but all I'm trying to do is open our eyes to the reality on grounds with respect to Sask. If you have other lifeline/means, kindly exploit it, if not, just grab on to this and be ready to wait it out. After all, they have the advantage of holding the aces when it come to one of the most affordable PNPs.

Hello guys, I just learnt that Saskatchewan held their largest EOI draws today. Has anyone received a notification mail from them yet? (i.e For those who earlier expressed interest to the province).

Hi,

I will advise that you use WES. Just ensure that your transcript gets to them early cos that's where the delay usually comes from.

Once it is sorted and verified promptly, your evaluation can come out within a week sef.

All the best.

Ajokelawal:
Hello everyone,
I just want to start this journey and I need advice on certificate evaluation. Please which evaluation body would you say is the best to use now. Considering the situation with covid 19. I have read about documents getting missing and evaluation taking too long with some evaluation bodies.
Thanks

Omoniyimi12345:
Please I need help. CES has received my transcript since almost 4 weeks now and my profile has not been updated. Who has used CES before please? What should I do? I have made payments too

My advise is that you go for WES to avoid unnecessary delays by CES. I submitted my evaluation since Dec 2020 and up till now they've not finalised my evaluation despite receiving my transcript for more than four months now.

I had to register for WES in June and the whole process took just one week from the time they received my transcript and I have been in the pool since then waiting for EOI.

All the best.

Thank you for the response

Unless your spouse's work experience is in Canada, it doesn't add any points to the PA's application. You can leave it blank so that you/your spouse don't have to run around for reference letters or other proof of employment.

Great news bro. I'm so happy for those who had resigned their appointments and sold off their properties. It will surely end in praise for us all (Amen).

Igethope:
Great news. Omo COPR go full canada by July 5th o. They should start attending to people with expired COPR. They should start finalizing applications soon as well.

Hello House,

When creating an express entry profile, does it matter if an accompanying spouse's occupation falls under NOC skill level C. Just want to know if it doesn't affect eligibility in anyway.

Thank you.

Hello House,

Pls does anyone have an idea of which NOC relates to tax administration (i.e Tax remittance, filing of tax returns and correspondence with tax authorities on tax related matters). I have searched several NOC codes and couldn't see any one that is related to this.

Thank you.

A total of N55,000 for renewal. You pay N25k online during application and the balance of N30k at the passport office before capturing. Regards

olamide34:
How much did it cost you?

Hello House,

For those who urgently need to obtain a new passport/renew an expired one, Pls go to the passport express center in Maitama, Abuja and have it processed same day.

I just did mine & collected it within 4hrs and decided to share this with the house.

All the best

Hello guys,

Does anyone know the current fee payable per applicant for PR application upon receiving ITA.

Thank you.

You can use any of the two.

Ruthiegal:
If I write 2 ielts exams on separate dates and I prefer the score of the previous one to the latter one, Can I use that or I can only use the most recent exam/result?

Sorry bro, I can relate with this situation as it is very similar to mine. I did well in other sections except reading that i was very certain I had a good performance on exam day.

I've already requested for a remark cos i believe something is wrong somewhere.

EagleScope01:
I am having mixed feeling
Got my test score today (my birthday)
L-7.5
R-6.5
W- 7.0
S- 7.5
Overall band 7


I was not expecting the high scores in speaking (cos I paused and stammered during the last phase of the test) and listening (cos I missed many numbers. I got lost. Apparently, it is my weakest point. I always got lost arnd number 30). But the reading I was confident about nd could bet I will have atleast 8.5 or at worst 8... Na him I get 6.5

It is worth applying for remark or I accept fate and reapply? Someone please advice me

Have you tried sending them an e-mail?

mipemi:
Hello guys
I have been trying to contact IRCC via the web form for over a month so I can add my spouse but I haven’t received any response. Is there another way to go about this?

Your immediate line supervisor will be okay in this instance as he/she will explain your roles better in a detailed manner given the direct reporting line. However, ensure these roles match your chosen NOC.

Brunobia:
Good evening everyone. Please I have read the screen shot from CIC website that accompanied the above quote.

My question is for those of us working in a university, admin staff. Usually we write to Registrar of the University for Letter of Introduction if we are travelling out for vacations. But registrar is not our immediate boss. We have HODs and Deans.

So for IRCC letter of work reference, who do I meet to issue it? My immediate supervisor I.e (HOD/Dean) or the Registrar?

Both will be on University letter head. But one will bear Office of the Dean. The other will bear Office of the Registrar. It's a Federal University.

Thank you.

This is noted. Thanks for the info.

Applied for CES ECA in December 2020. The last update I received from CES was in mid February. When you apply they tell you that the Timeline is 15 - 20 weeks. Hopefully my ECA should be out this month.

Are you able to track the status of your application in your portal?

It’s not mandatory for your spouse to evaluate their credentials or even write the IELTS If your CRS score (as the PA) is enough to fetch you an ITA.
But know this: when you include a spouse in your application, you will get a lesser score for your IELTS, age and education, than someone who applied without a spouse.

So it’s advisable for your spouse to evaluate their credentials and write the IELTS, so you can boost your score.

Hello House,

Please is there anyone who submitted CES evaluation since December 2020 and yet to get a feedback. The delay is really getting to me as i have written mails to them to no avail. I don't even know what to do again. My IELTs result has been ready since March but I'm unable to enter the pool due to this.

Secondly, is it mandatory for my spouse as a secondary applicant to also evaluate her credentials.

Thank you.

Tvickie:
Hello, Thank you for everything in this forum. I have a question pls. I applied for the federal skilled worker program and did a fixed deposit for 3 months. Now it has expired and the application is still on eligibilty stage. I refixed the pof (gift deed from my dad) for an extra 3 months again. Should I notify cic? or just leave the money in the account like that?

I do not think it poses any issue so long as the fund is still running at the same tenor and conditions as the initial booking. So, it's fine.

Hello House,

I just checked my IELTS result today and obtained the scores below:
L 8.5, R 6.0, W 7, S 7.5.

My choice is PNP due to my age but i am not sure if this result is good enough for that purpose. Kindly advise.

Thanks

It will surely end in praise bro. Just keep hope alive and all will end well.

Mauriss:
Hello! This waiting period is psychological torture O! Please I want to join the Ottawa WhatsApp group.

Yes, I get your point. The inflows I'm talking about are the regular savings i make from my salary account into my savings acct every month and it's not significant. I hope that's fine.

ednut1:
reasonable inflows like from your salary. You cannot be earning 300k and depositing 800k monthly without explaining.

Hello House,

Happy Sunday All.

Pls concerning POF, is it okay to still have regular inflows into a savings account within the last three months prior to submission as required by CIC. Note that there won't be any outflow at all. I just want to be sure it won't negate the 90 day pre ITA rule.

Thanks

Hello House,

Pls i need clarification on this:

Which NOC is more appropriate for someone who currently works in the finance department of Bank. Is it Banking, credit and investment or Finance.

Just want to be sure i picked the right option.

Thanks

Congrats..I wish you all the best

Thank You.

Hello Team,

Please can anyone who did CES evaluation recently confirm the total amount that was paid. I got a total fee of USD311 (Inclusive of international courier services) as against USD210 that i read on this forum.

Kindly provide clarity on this.

Thank you.

Thanks for your observation but the truth is that there is no guarantee that it would be granted if she had applied with me. Whilst I was on the queue, a young couple who have both had extensive travel history spanning US, UK, France, Holland and just got back from Canada were refused by the same VO. What excuse can we make for that considering that it was also a renewal interview like mine?

So, I feel the VOs just grant at their own discretion and no matter how hard you try, they may or may not grant it.

ultimatebas:
Nothing dey NEW JERSEY, i dey tell you. I think that was one of the RED FLAGS.
Another Red flag in my opinion.Why should a family man travel for tourism alone?The V.O might doubt his true marital status(V.Os don't care about our marriage certificates because some Nigerians are fraudulent that's why V.Os seldomly opt to see certificates) . Imagine he just got married which is suppose to be the most exciting time of marriage and he ain't going with madam. When i applied the very first time for tourism. I went with my family (wifey and baby girl) and we got it. Infact even when i renewed it was together as a family and we got it again.

Thanks guys for the responses. It's well noted.

Regards

wuki:
To be fair, a VO will NOT base visa decision on what cities/places/states count as “sight-seeing” destinations. Matter of fact the VO might have never been to NJ let alone know that “there is nothing in NJ.” OP might have claimed going to New York and still get denied. Has NOTHING to do with applicant’s destination. OP could decide to go to Montana for all the VO cares. I second your other point and that may have been a red flag for the VO.
