Abeg for those of u that submitted marriage cert, how did u upload it. Did u photocopy then shrink to A4 size as d paper is very long or did u upload long like that.

If one uploads photocopy of marriage cert is it a problem?

Urgent response pls. Thanks

i took it to a cyber cafe where they scanned it as a whole - they used a bigger scanner and then turned it to A4, another method is to scan half then the other half and then merge it but you need to know how to work one of those software - i did this type as well

MummyJaygirls:
Na wa o, I go to drink water small and upon return like 10 extra pages don pass, u guys are not smiling o, all of us must go Canada. Keep up the good work

i swear - i am saying exactly the same thing lool - need to catch up

vcole:
Hi dear. I uploaded my marriage certificate under the slot for that and uploaded an affidavit of change of names and newspaper publication under the slot for legal name change because I already had those documents. If you don't, I think you can just upload the marriage certificate in both slots.

@ persons with concerns about the recent ruling on LGA marriage certificates. I believe someone had mentioned here that laws are not retroactive. Go to the registry and attempt to get a replacement for it as the news article stated, otherwise use it like that. The ruling addressed LGA certificates that were customised and did not conform with the Form E.

@ymummy, my wait was barely weeks but felt like years. I requested for gcms notes twice. Lol! I logged into my cic account severally. Just hang in there.

Thank you so much @vcole - - tapping into your testimony, my anxiety is slowly fading away - 3 days after submission - i guess i will be fine after all. lol - do you know what age children start school in canada - i mean the tuition free school not the paid day care - whats the official age - is it 3yrs or 4yrs

Wumiadeaj:
Please i want to ask if anyone used a lawyer/consultant here and if anyone knows about Attorney David Cohen's law firm(are they experienced enough to help in achieving success). I know Canreach is authentic as i have someone that used them but they are expensive. I am thinking about using a consultant as i have a lot of questions i could not get definitive answers to, doing it on my own is straight forward but my spouse is the issue, i want to ensure he does'nt act as "clog in the wheel" for me.

Hellos there, so i used a lawyer - but first and foremost she was first my friend, we had worked together in lagos at various law firms before she relocated. To be honest, i could have done it myself without her but then i didnt mind paying her because she is my friend, and we ended up working hand in hand together- and me with my ocd prolly almost frustrated her sef but what are friends for if not to frustrate each other - lol

for David cohen - i thought OMG they will be the best, cos i get their newsletter bla bla bla bla - but i hate to be bearer of bad news but they are overwhelmed - i have two people using them and their process of reviewing your document is probably even longer than when cic will issue you ppr. they ask for all sorts of docs that even me i know is not needed - eg transcript of lawschool - they delayed my friends till ITA almost expired claiming they are doing Quality control of all submitted documents - you will be angry frustrated and you will pay plenty money - their fee is not small. My advise, is if you can read through, please do and do it yourself. My in law did it himself and he has PPR in 68 days.- no agent nothing. I have a friend we received ITA almost same time- they have not even responded to their review of documents not to talk of approval to submit - their last response was that his own is not priority because he still has time before expiration for ITA and priority are ppl whose ITA are expiring in the following days - his ITA expires july and he has no clue when they will submit. To be fair, they have become like Nigerian tailor, collect your cloth even when they have too many cloth to sew - and put you on is coming - but with the amount being paid - i BELIEVE they will submit on time - just may not be at the time you want them to submit

hakeemgp:

@ GTB..Current or savings account?

GTB current - I uploaded only the current but the letter stated all my other relevant accounts with GTB , current, savings, FD & usd account

Hope15:
@Boss13, just wondering if the bank's covering letter is still mandatory if one is using largely FD or TB for the pof? Thanks

from my experience - i used both FD bank statements (not all my accounts cos the documents was to large and the least it could reduce up to was 6mb to still make sense- otherwise it wont be legible) - The letter from the bank was quite difficult and it may need you to escalate it to their manager or speak with your account officer. For my GTB account - the letter was quite impressive and the only information it did not have was the indemnity part which was issued using a separate letter - all bank balance was stated - date of opening was stated - average balance can be seen in the statement of account. The best way to request your reference letter from the bank is to go formal with them - i wrote a formal letter detailing info i wanted. Same thing for my other banks. Try as much as possible to get reference letter from the bank biko.

esosa4real:

40manlappy:
It is not easy my sister but life must go on

You can use the period to research on life in Canada generally so as to have a realistic outlook of the proposed relocation i.e. province/city to reside, housing, jobs, cost of living etc

My wife and I decided not to log on to our IRCC account until medicals. It has not been easy but so far, we have been successful on that. Tbh, it is not easy not to think about it

thank you my brother @40manlappy -- i am on the living in canada thread as well oh - wish that page will grow as fast as this thread. i guess when we get to canny we get too busy to have much time for nairaland.

Ehrnie:
@ymummy234 - hahahaha but you only submitted yesterday, right..? I think you should take a chill pill and get your mind off it for now. Use the strategy below -

from now: Don't think about it & avoid checking your profile (often)
16th July - 6th August (6/9 weeks post AoR): Start thinking about it
Week commencing 7th August - Be very expectant
Week commencing 14th August - start getting worried (but I know it wouldn't get to that just kidding)

All the best!

Thank you very much @Ehrnie - i shall follow your advise and not think about it till end of July.

I want to keep hearing good news from y'all @40manlappy @Ehrnie @MummyJaygirls @happymumtobe and others ---PPR next ooo

@Erhnie @40manlappy @lordsebastian

dont mind me oh, its the waiting game that is beginning to confuse me (and i never even start)- guys pls advise how did you pass time without checking your profile everyday - trying to soak myself doing house research via kijiji, job research, owambe parties and small small travel within Africa - this waiting game is killing - cant sit still at allllll

@40manlappy

I meant 4th of June which was just yesterday - july kwa

Thanks @vcole, - something curious jumped to me on your timeline - your AOR was 7th NOV & MEDICALS passed 8th Nov - that one is super fast oh --- tapping into the anointing of speedy process

My AOR was 4th July - dont know how to sit still - even though my journey is still very far *sigh*

vcole:
I didn't upload schedule A. toyogirl can click on my moniker and read old posts. This statutory question and schedule A has been discussed before by me, esosa4real and a few other people.

Congrats vcole, you have been very helpful. Can you please share your timeline especially after receiving AOR

@temmyo

You don't need to evaluate your b.l - I.e law school - only your llb will suffice. If you have a masters, you should only evaluate the masters as it is your highest qualification.

still working !!! welldone OP

@MummyJaygirls

My school posted my transcript to IQAS on 28th February

I got an email from IQAS on 16th March that they received the transcript.

My ECA was out yesterday 5th April

Hello Guys,

I have been patiently following this thread and i must confess i have learnt alot!!!! I have done my IELTS & my IQAS just came out yesterday hence i missed the draw just by 24hrs - wish IQAS responded earlier - i must say they are kinda slow now jare.

I will fill the form between now and weekend and wait patiently for the next draw - my score has been between 440 and 450 - my husband wrote the IELTS as well and results should be out tomorrow.

I understand getting the ITA is just the beginning of the work but then it doesn't matter we go do the work. I wish everyone else all the best and good news we shall all get IJN.

I miss Zandora ohhhhh - congrats 40manlappy dupyshoo, irondome, JesusDWay, zandora, boldinc - Vcole - all ofuna wehdone sir.
