hello, please since you don’t need to pay for 2-way delivery of your port, where do you inform them of your return address?

Hi
On page 2 of the CVAC consent form which you're to fill, there's provision to provide home address, email, phone number etc.

Will Canada start FSW draws ever again? This silence is deafening. The wait is not funny again o. I'm so fixated on this process and country. Hope is gradually slipping away. #sigh

Don't lose hope. Draws for FSW is predicted to resume by the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2022. Canada still need lots more immigrants. The process may change, but the need will still be there. Don't just wait though. Explore other options as well.

Yes it did, i have two s one for my saving and the other is my salary , the one i provided was my savings where i have the POF. I think that could have been the reason for this. do i have a chance to appeal this?

Yes, you have a chance to appeal and I hope it works out for you.

Did you use your savings (POF) to prove employment? , there are about 3 items we can use to prove employment, did you use like 2 or 3 of them?

Also, does the company you work for have an online presence?

Try to document your payslips (if possible, from first to current one), letter of employment, promotion letter (if any), anything at all to prove your point, with a good LOE even.

Just wanted to update that I decided to go with a sales deed of an asset I own and a good LOE. My profile has now been updated to "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information" so I'm guessing I have ed the POF check. Hopefully!!!!


GraciousWords:


The officer has worded the ADR in such a way that I don't think you can get away with anything other than what tshtsh already suggested.

Unless you have another where money has been sitting, you will need to use a gift deed, explain the money is a gift and hope for the best.

Other option is to sell an asset that can give you the money e.g. car but that only solves for current source of funds not previous gift deed....taking us back to the 50/50 chance.

You may decide to include an LOE about spending the previous gift on a personal emergency being necessitated by COVID if that is the case..... but this LOE may resonate with one VO and another VO may simply not care.....again 50/50.

Quick one guys…Asking for a friend…

Her international port is still valid till January 2023, however she got married sometime last year and has done name change so she applied for a new port very recently(expedited/fast tracked). The issue is she just got PPR today so she wants confirmation on whether she can send the old one for CoPR and whenever the new one comes, she’ll attach both and travel without issues or should she wait for the new one and send to Accra.

Hello House,

Please i just received the attached email and want to confirm if this is PPR.

I particular about step 1 cos i have sent webforms to indicate my newborn and my profile has been updated to include my baby. i also proactively sent all the documents for my baby when my ADR for schedule A, PCC and POF were requested. The status for additional documents currently reads "not applicable". My question is, should i ignore the step 1 and submit all ports?

Also, i live in lagos, which VO would be advisable to send my ports to?

Lastly, there is also a request to take port photographs at a commercial studio. Any recommendations?

It's usually not an issue according to the word on the street....if new and old port have same name.

Hope your friend has not complicated things by renewing with a new name. Will IRCC not be asking for change of name document either now if she sends a webform to advise of new port or at the border when she is landing?

If it were me, since expiry is still far out, I'll send only my current port to VFS, and forget about any new port till after I land.

Just an opinion, have not seen or read about this exact scenario before.

Usually when you apply for a new Nigerian port, the old one is cancelled without prejudice and automatically invalid regardless of the validity on it. Let her check the middle of her port and see they should have stamped cancelled without prejudice, so I’m not sure she can still use it.

The processing time for Vfs Lagos is about 6/7 weeks. Vfs Lagos sends to Accra vfs for processing. So by sending directly to Accra, you're reducing the processing time by about 2 weeks. 2 weeks being the time it takes Vfs lagos to send your file to Accra.

1. Get a new ref letter from your employer dated Tuesday after Easter. Make sure it includes all IRCC has asked for in the screenshot. Duties that match your NOC, pay, hours worked, full time etc

2. Add payslips for 2 or 3 months for each year

3. Add SOA highlighting the payment of salary to your , you could use the same sample in number 2 above.

4. Add annual goals or appraisals

5.Add email exchanges with employer domain name showing you worked there and still work there. Maybe one for each year.

6. Put yourself in VOS shoes and try and think of anything else that could show your employment is genuine and meets IRCC conditions.

7.Send by webform multiple times, by many direct emails to your VO and in placeholder if there is one. Hope and pray for the best.

To others, please save yourself heartache and follow the checklists provided by IRCC.

You'll need two cvac forms. One for each family member. PA should fill and sign for minors if there are any

The both of you should write ielts and do your ECA, whoever is your sponsor should gift you the money and send to any of your s now (the earlier the better), enter the pool with what you have, hopefully you'll be selected by a province (fingerscrossed) then while you're waiting, you can consider learning French to boost your score for hubby.

If she hasn't captured, she can ask them if her request can be cancelled. I think that should be possible.

Please i need your advice i got a rejection mail, key highlight 'I am not satisfied that you meet the requirement(s) under paragraph(s) a) because you have not submitted sufficient evidence to satisfy me that you have at least one year of continuous full-time paid work experience, or the equivalent in continuous paid part-time work experience, in the occupation identified in your application. More specifically I am not satisfied you have provided sufficient evidence to your employment at ****. As a result, the calculation of your period of skilled work experience has been adjusted accordingly. This adjustment has resulted in a drop in your period of continuous skilled work experience in your primary occupation to a period of less than one year.
How do i appeal as i have several pay slips to confirm my employment status.

Provide all the payslips, bank statement, reference letter clearly stating that you still work there and also write a letter of explanation for the documents provided and raise a Web form. If they are satisfied, your will be opened again.

Lol, I don't understand this but I'm thinking it's related to money. I think she shouldn't consider the money lost but avoid delay and complication, she should withdraw, IMO. I've also wasted money in this journey but at the end, leaving this "trenches" is the goal.

Hi Hi,
Please can you help clarify the following. I noticed the PPR emails people receive contain minute differences and can request slightly varying data or forms

1. Did you pay the RPRF upfront? If yes, when sending your documents after PPR, did you attach the receipt of the RPRF? Kindly see attached screenshot...I had paid RPRF upfront when submitting my application so I didn't bother going back to print and add the receipt

2. After mailing through DHL, any idea how long it'll take for VFS to confirm that they've received your package or what's the next likely step to track progress?

MrPein:


Yeah. You're required to pay the transmission fees. See details below:

This is the process to send your port to Accra:
Submitting port(s) to Accra VFS without using Lagos VFS.

Gather all documents required by IRCC and VFS Accra. Including payment teller(s) for the sum of GHC 405 to ( paid per person to vfs GH's . (See further instruction on addendum 1 below)

Put all documents in an envelope and proceed to DHL or any courier of your choice and pay for a one-way delivery to:

Canadian Visa Application Centre(In Partnership with International Organisation for Migration),
Baptist Convention House,
Abelemkpe Road,
Abelemkpe,
[email protected]
+233 50 129 5270

VFS Global Accra, who will then submit to the high commission.

Addendum 1:
Bank details:
Bank name – International Organization for Migration
Bank name – ECOBANK Ghana Limited
Branch: Head office
BIC/SWIFT Code – ECOCGHAC
Number – 1441000695744
Address;
(cvac operated in partnership with OIM/IOM)

Payment can be made through any family or friend resident in Ghana. There are also agents who can help with this if neccesary.

Other Things to note:
1. Get your tracking number and monitor on DHL tracker till its recieved by Vfs gh
2. Wait for the VFS tracking details— they will give you update on when it will be sent to IRCC and when it will be returned to you
3. Wait for the return of your port— VFS also uses DHL to return— you don't pay for it, it's included in the GHC 405
