This announcement got me thinking...

Is it that topmamen is a sword or he has jumped ship


Was it that he let go for estrange or the latter scared him off

How do some of us who were waiting for the news with ifeoma77 take this

Please somebody help me...




Congratulations to everyone with ppr and ITA within this week.

May the land yield her increase for you and all that's yours

Congratulations @topsmamen. Great work you have been doing on the thread, ever since your sister @dumprep called you out from being behind the scenes in that her delicious PPR testimony. You were a pillar for her and have been doing similar to people on here. You sure are a great fellow.
God bless you, and I'm sure he would go ahead of you to make way for you over there.

I am just gonna do as if I didn't give a side eye that it was hephgirl that announced your PPR arrival. If it was gonna be anybody else, one would have hoped for it to be ifeoma77. I had to recheck the poster. I was rooting (fighting) for her.

Guess writing funnily and dramatically runs in the family. You and your sister wrote interesting stories, drawing beautiful pictures with your words.

I hope we get to meet and hangout some day over there.

@ladymarshall, please mark this script with plagiarism in mind. Compare his and dumprep's script. If necessary, call them into separate rooms and give them new paper to ascertain who wrote the two.

Maybe. Maybe not.
Heard some airlines won't allow you fly on a passport with less than 6 months validity. They probably want to be sure that you can return on that passport and not use the excuse of a hold-off on renewing passport for not returning (return tickets usually max out at 6months, I think). I don't see why they should, if they do, on a one-way ticket/immigrating visa.

But then, it is advisable to renew your passport here before travelling to elongate it's validity. Heard passport renewals abroad are a task at the Nigerian high commission. So why won't one wanna renew here if they can afford to?

I thought holding copr allows one travel with passport less than 6 months validity

If you are overly concerned about this and want to sleep well at night, just do an account information update to your current address with your bank. That way, you don't have to deal with previous address at all...
Should take about 7 days to process (though me I don't see why this isn't done within 24hrs. 9ja banks sha), you then request for bank statement after this.

Dear Family ,

May God meet us all and answer our prayers at any point we are in this journey .

query !

I have been trying to fix every unexplained details in my application as I don't intend to write any LOE .

just spotted the address in my Bank Statement .
it carries my previous address and its not quite correct although close i.e , the correct address is 216 igbado , but the statement carries 2 igado. However,
in address history , I have d correct address. will this be an issue .
should I request a new statement and have d address corrected or I should just align the one in my address history to match what's on the bank statement since it's a previous address and no longer relevant. or should I just ignore totally and submit like that.

Remain calm. It is just a generic response to a CSE raised since you are past the 6 months mark. They give that response to everyone past the mark.
As it says, your file is on queue to be attended to by a visa officer.
Since you have ordered notes, wait for them to see if there is anything special holding your file up, and then address if any.
Meanwhile, pray that the visa officer wakes up.

Ottawa I presume?? Na sleepers dey Ottawa now.

Fshady:
See bigger BP issues. But Eligibility has been on MET since. I've ordered notes twice since March but I'm yet to receive any. O sun mi.

Hi.
I do not think you have anything to worry about. A change of name affidavit is just to show that documents bearing different names are for the same person. Since all documents you are required to submit for this process bear your maiden name (even the passport), I think you are good.
Marriage doesn't automatically mean you have to change names. Your marriage certificate just says that you (with your maiden name) are married to your husband, Mr Ciroma Alabi-Chukwuma. Doesn't indicate you have taken up any of his names.

Note, however, that your PR card will bear the name on your passport. You could stick with this, and then do a change of name on getting to Canada, so your PR renewal (in 5yrs) or citizenship (when due) will carry your new name if you so wish.
Or you apply for a new passport with your new name and then submit that along with the change of name affidavit and marriage certificate in a CSE before PR is issued.

I stand to be corrected on the above stated opinion.

AzariahYaa:
Hi, kindly clarify something to me please. I do have change of name affidavit and newspaper publication, however in PR Application (i’m not the PA, my husband is) we chose to use my maiden name. This is because, we were considering the fact that my International Passport and all other documents carry my maiden nameexcept for my Driver’s license. Are we safe? should we be worried? We are post-AOR.

Thanks to everyone on Nairaland, Accra VO Whatsapp group, August AOR Group, 2018 ITA Group. You guys rocked. I’ve met a lot of friends and banter on all the groups were a source of encouragement. If I start mentioning names, I might leave out some people. Thanks everyone, we will meet in Canada.

Congratulations. Go and enjoy Canada. Don't forget to submit mummy's application for super visa ASAP...
As per your concerns re:medicals, see what @raphrulz added to your 'script'.

Goodieng:
Good day everyone I just wanted to ask this, I am in the process of getting my nce, which I plan on evaluating with either iqas or ices( I'm not ready for neco wahala). I have already evaluated my BSc with wes. My question is if I add this new certificate from different bodies will it be recognized as two or more degrees.

Yes. You can combine ECA reports from more than one body.

Ifeoma77:

Beautifully written!
May your PPR come speedily ASAP

Amen.
Thanks.
All the best with your planning and decisions.
Wish you success in the land flowing with Maple syrup. ^{(Please, maple syrup here has only one use - eat with pancakes or waffles. No innuendo)}

Concerning the issue of whether uploading ECA is a must, maybe this will throw more light.
Just to refresh our minds, I didn't upload my ECA report when I submitted u application; I only uploaded my degree certificate. But as advised by people in this forum, I was to raise a CSE to add my ECA report, and I did all that, not minding that I had filled in my ECA details--ECA certificate number and date of issue of ECA report--when I submitted my application.
The CSE was raised for the ECA a week ago. However, I got my Medicals passed and biometrics requested just 2 days after the CSE and even completed my biometrics three days later, even when the CSE had not been attended to. The response for the CSE was just received some hours ago (1 day after
my biometrics completion), as seen in the picture below.
I think this should once and for all prove wrong the argument that uploading ECA in your application is compulsory to prevent application rejection by virtue of an incomplete application (R10 completeness check). I still maintain that the most important document for your proof of education is your uploaded degree certificate and ECA details being asked of; if ECA upload was vital for a complete application, I wouldn't have gotten Biometrics request.

Dear johnnybravo1990, I don't think anyone has insisted uploading ECA (or IELTS) certificate/report is a must. Yes, IRCC doesn't specifically ask for it, but it is advised.
Let's not forget that for education, the prerequisite is Canadian degrees (or their equivalent) so I think it goes without saying that for education placeholder, you upload proofs of an education that has Canadian equivalency, ergo uploading with the ECA report, together with proof of English understanding.
I believe the request for ECA report number and IELTS TRF number at the point of profile creation is just to confirm that you actually have done it since they know how it should look like.

Your referral to the R10 check would make me also address the post by @ladymarshall wrt police certificate.

To the best of my knowledge, the R10 check is just to check that documents in the placeholders are complete and possibly cross off the document checklist. It's like a cursory glance to ensure documents are complete. "Oh, is there a degree certificate as claimed? Check. Is there an identification document or utility bill as claimed for sibling? Check.
The validity, authenticity and eligibility of each document is still checked by the visa officer after R10 is done.


Even if one isn't expected to upload ECA/IELTS reports, if the visa officer attending to your file wasn't listening well at training and is used to seeing ECA and IELTS uploads, bro, he won't remember or bother going to check the point where the report numbers were written.

Better safe than sorry.

Hello � house

Please what’s the least requirements for the IELTS English exam for me to begin with the Canada �� express entry application

Thanks guys, looking out for a reply �

The least requirements for the exam? A valid international passport and money for registration (value depending on the administering body. Oh! And preparation.
Pass mark to qualify for Canadian express entry is band 6 (I think) across board. However, prepare to get bands 8777 in LWRS respectively as this has been observed to do wonders in catapulting CRS points for express entry.

There are various immigration pathways as listed on the official Canadian immigration website (www.cic.gc.ca). Browse through and I'm sure you will find one suitable for your peculiarity. However, this thread (basically page 1) contains information for one of the pathways - Express Entry for Federal Skilled Workers. As the name implies, it's an economic pathway for those with skilled work experience.

Please i want to start applying for immigration to canada, how do i go about it

[quote author=babybanky post=78175435][/quote]

From the wording of the fifth paragraph of the letter, I think either the VO did not see your upload on sibling relationship, or he wasn't convinced. No indication refers to the validity of the document(s) submitted.
As has been suggested, order for gcms notes to better understand the VO. Meanwhile, I would also suggest you raise a CSE as soon as possible (attaching your refusal letter and highlighting the refusal reason) and reupload all the documents you earlier submitted, and if possible, add more documents and/or pictures.

Good day all.... Good work everyone is doing exchanging information and sharing opinions about this process. God bless y'all...

topeolu1:
It's still the same attestation you need. It's been addressed here severally. @Topsamamaen could help. See attached document I was referring to

In one way or another, everyone has been right about the NPC/birth certificate issue. I would just like to add my opinion with respect to the second point in the Manitoba letter attached....

In my understanding, what is implied is that an individual above 18 SHOULD NOT apply for or collect a birth certificate AND CANNOT tender a birth certificate for any reason. Once the individual is above 18 and possibly looses the old birth certificate or applying for the first time, what he should be applying for is an attestation of birth. In other words, for a birth certificate to be valid, the date of issuance to the date of actual birth recorded should be less than 18yrs.

cc @ifeoma77, @scandinavian02, @babybanky.

There have been many people in the PPR hall of fame for this thread and past threads that have used the birth certificates. Others too have used the attestation of birth and gotten PPR.
I used the Old birth certificates for my sister and I, still waiting for PPR 8months on.
As @joo2018 rightly said, if in doubt, err on the side of caution and get the attestation of birth. Do whatever makes you sleep well.

It shall end in praises to the most high.
