Aisville:

The current total cost can't be 19,000. 19k covers only WAEC processing fee (10k) and courier service (9k). You still have to pay for affidavit (between 2k-4k depending on where you're doing it). You will also pay for letter of attestation (between 2k-3k depending on where you're doing it). You will buy scratch card 1,500, buy envelopes as well as include 2 port photographs.

Thank you. Was about saying this too.

And UPS is the cheapest courier, although not fast.
They have feedex and DHL whose prices are higher.

So don't be quick to say its 19k. That's just for waec and courier.

Mstomie:
Go to their website and the EOR form, fill it and raise a bank draft of 15k to British Council and submit in their office at Ikoyi.

Goodluck in your remark.

Thank you

Hello, respected seniors in the house. I need urgent response. My sibling is a Canadian Citizen and we don't get along in anyway humanely possible, because of this I did not declare him in our EE profile and he did same too before he became Canadian Citizen by not declaring me as sibling too, but went ahead to declare my other siblings. Now I want to understand would there be a misrepresentation for not declaring him in our EE profile as we have received ITA in the last draw without claiming sibling points. (My wife is the primary applicant) and I am non-accompanying spouse for now owing to a big project I am handling. Family of 4. All other documents are ready for submission and wait for upfront medical.

I am coming for the full gist, but please a quick one, I have a new addition to my family about three weeks ago, so I informed C otttawa through the CSE I raised earlier. But to my surprise, their response came with a PPR message yesterday morning, while asking me to submit my baby’s birth certificate for her own application.
Later last night I discovered that my profile has been opened and they have sent the details of what I need to for her own application to be added.
Good for us, we have done her international port, birth cert and medicals. All documents are reading for ing.
However, I am a lil bit confused, should we still go ahead to our port including our new baby’s own as demanded by the PPR letter. The letter states that all port must be submitted on or before May 1st.
Happy people in the house, please kindly assist with evidence based information to guide us through this stage@ifeoma, joo20.18, newmum etc etc
It came when I least expect it, I Pray that for those that are still on the waiting line, the LORD WILL SURPRISE YOU.
las las, all of us go entry Cannyland in style. Thanks.

Congratulations!!! Submit all the ports including the baby's port. AVO will finish up the application

It has no effect since you are not claiming any point for sibling

Allahu Akbar, Grace found Us!!

In The Past I have always been ‘pro-travel’. My first attempt in this relocation dream was exactly 10 years ago, My mother had filed for me - she was in the US, I can going to the US embassy several times, did medicals, DNA and a whole bunch of other stuffs.. I was eventually denied, Oh God! Devastated was an understatement.


Please house. We submitted our port yesterday, I thought it reflects on ones CIC

Wow what a triumph!! You definitely have an angel watching over you.
Congratulations!
No, port submission doesn't reflect online. In about two weeks, it will reflect (after the approval)

Try to read well. I was correcting the person that said it's 19k. I never said its 19k

He didn't declare you, you didn't declare him, QED!
Just out of curiosity, why unaccompanied? You can apply as accompanying and still come back to finish your project

Good advice. Though we are 450, we have also began to consider spouse writing CBT to boost the scores. A quick question please...how many days did it take to get your results after the CBT?

Scandinavian02:


This is specifically for those in the pool with CRS of less than 450. Honestly, no one knows when it will come down and most of us are only saying it will come down by faith. Please if you need to learn French to boost it, please go ahead (This Canada waka now na street gist, E dey mouth of every Nigerian wey sabi read).


I made the above post when I was almost getting frustrated with the consistent CRS of 450+ every fortnight, I decided to for the CBT with BC in less than a week. I scored an overall bad of 6.5 and boosted our CRS to 460. We are hopeful of the next ITA after 3 months.

Please explore all avenues to boost your scores cos afraid dey catch me with the kind CRS wey boys dey carry enter pool sef. recently, i see 475, I come tell my wife say we no get hope again ooo with our 448.

All the best bros and sis' on this journey. it would end in praise for us all.

Good day everyone,please I got ADR for prove of close relative.its my mum's step brother (from the same mum because my mum's father died then she remarried). How do I go about getting their birth certificates for my mum and for my uncle,since it was in the 50's.i really need suggestions.thank you.

yemblaze:
Yeah..been there. The issue is that iyourts either your school has not replied WES properly or they keep making certain mistakes/errors in the verification. So ask your school to send tge verification again until WES is satisfied with their response.

Mine was UNILAG....I had to send a stinker mail to them and few days later I received an update from WES.

All the best.

Thanks a lot for the advise. Please who did you send the stinker to (email address)? If it is not too much trouble, please share with me a sample of the email you sent to [email protected].

Well in my case, i have a sibling who is in Canada on student Visa. I declared No in the column when asked about a sibling in Canada who is a PR and then listed him as part of my family in my application. However, I didn't write an LOE to say my sibling is not a PR in CA. I only mentioned him and the city he is staying in Canada in the column where we have to mention parents and other family . I hope this is fine?

Good day everyone, i urgently need the of an immigration officer that can help in ikoyi p[assport office, i did my kids port since February till now they say no printing material

My friend did it this same way and she has gotten her own PCC from FBI.

BootyliciousHon:
Well for my husband, he did it himself using a stamp pad. We left the signature of official who assisted with fingerprinting blank. Havent gotten a reply from the FBI yet as we could only send the fingerprints after the Easter break. Will give an update when we have one.

Hi,
I have just a 28 days left for my estimated processing time to end. Should I be worried. I last heard from them over 2 months ago.
Please I need your input.
Thanks.

As your husband has an MSc and more than 3 years working experience; if he is below 30-35, it may be best to have him as principal applicant

your 2 year work experience has exactly same points as 1 year, on the other hand, anything more than 3 years has more points (maximum foreign work experience points in the CRS)

You should play with this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp. Evaluate with LRWS of 8 7 7 7 for the principal applicant and maybe 6 6 6 6 for the partner (see who has a better chance).

Altogether, you should try to drag him into the process. On your own (without doing french, with no siblings in Canada or Education/work experience in Canada), the maximum you can get is 416.

What you should do now is:
- Both of you should do IELTS
- Both of you should evaluate your degrees.

No urgent need enrolling for Masters yet (even if you do not have enough points, you could go the PNP route). For now, evaluate your degrees and try to make him do IELTS one way or the other.

Hope this helps

MzGiwa:

fill no and state the reason why you are not claiming points for siblings. your reason : estrangement. (to be on the safe side)

So I got my IELTS result some few days back and it was 8.0/7.0/6.0/8.5 LRWS.

so sad about the writing, but I got a CRS 453 and will have to wait till I am done with my master's degree in July before I enter the pool.

Just to share a bit and come out of my silent mode....

I want to use this means to thank God for freeing me from IELTS... I wrote it 3 times in all and God answered me by the 3rd time.

1st IELTS - LRWS - 7.5/8.5/6.5/8.5 (MOD)
2nd Attempt - LRWS - 8.5/8/6.5/7.5 (MOD).... I was so sad that day, I can still the feeling (Remark came out negative. I still have the feeling my EOR was not done because I had to remind them after the remark timeline that i was yet to get a notification for the result. Na the money pain me sha)
Final attempt - LRWS - 8.5/9/7/7.5 (BC/ CBT)

I must say IELTS humbled me. I was so sure I would make it at one sitting. When I saw my 1st result it was a rude shock. You can imagine how it felt the 2nd time and even worse when the remark came back unchanged. I thank God for the encouragement from my spouse and some other unknown people who wrote their experiences on this forum, I decided to really swallow my pride and reassess what the problem could be with my writing. I found out it basically my structure that was the problem. Jay's videos really helped me to fine tune my writing.

So, I wrote CBT(I chose this because I truly hate waiting for results) with BC on the 9th of April and I got my result on 14th of April. The feeling of relief was so strong that you could touch it. I know God was teaching me something through this experience. I appreciate the success more and I truly understand how depressing it can be when the scores don't match up.

I wish everyone struggling with IELTS good success.

Waiting for ECA now before we dive into the pool.

In all, I enjoyed the CBT process because we were just about 10 people. I did my Speaking on the same day (Morning session) and the rest afternoon session. Although there was technical issues that day that made the 1st set start pretty late which also impacted my start time, the whole process was wayyyyyyy better than the paper test for me.

Please my seniors I will be needing your help with my NOC. I will be sending it shortly. Thank you in advance.

I just received the 5 ADR's from Accra, my problem now is that my salary was paid in cash and it is stated in my pay slip. What can I do about the request for the bank statement showing salary deposits?
Also, I can't the exact dates I filled in the personal history section for my past addresses, will this affect our application negatively?

gobby:
Hi nnetayo, or anyone that submitted payslips, please how many payslips did you submit when you got the ADR, is it the whole number of years you worked? so for like 3years work experience I will submit like 36 payslips, also for the bank statement did you print just the page of your salary for the total number of years? I am thinking how cumbersome this will be

Please can I also be added to the WhatsApp group?

Dear Gurus @Ifeoma77, @Topsmamen and any other person that can help me ooooo,

Please I need help with identifying the best fit NOC. I picked 0122 but I am not really settled. I have an MBA and ACCA and over 12yrs experience. I have 6 years in banking (Cash Officer - 3yrs but I do not intend to claim points with this as I do not want the stress of going to get reference letter from them but I can if I must) and I currently head a unit (not in the bank ). My JD is as seen below. Kindly help me to if I have chosen the right NOC. A friend says 1212 is the NOC but another person says my qualifications demands a higher NOC. Its confusing.

I also want to ask if there is any gain in using more than one NOC

My fellow Canadians, how does upfront medical work, please? What documents do we need to show and how will the clinic send the medical result to CIC since there is no invitation to apply yet? Thank you.
