It's PPR, RFV, guys!!!! 🕺🕺🕺🕺
Timeline 🕊🕊
ITA date: March 23, 2023
AOR date:  May 3, 2023
RFV:   June 6, 2023

This is INCREDIBLE! Haven’t seen a timeline like this in a while.
Congratulations! May your transition to Canada be smooth and rewarding!

Bless your heart! God bless you!

bekayy:
It is good to see you again here. You were one of the people who answered my question as a newbie 2 years back.
I hope you are doing okay.

Still as helpful as ever. GOD bless you.

If you did NYSC, please use that to add up to 3 years. It doesn't matter what you did.
You need a reference letter for jobs you are claiming points for.

, to claim points, one of your jobs should be continuous for one year. The rest can be varying durations.
For example:
Job 1 - at least One year (primary)
Job 2- 4 months
Job 3 - 9 months etc

The primary NOC doesn't have to be the most recent.
Someone I know used a job she did whilst studying as her primary NOC. This job was done about 4 or 5 years prior to her EE application.

When you have the time, click on my name and go through my previous posts. You'd see information that I feel would be helpful in this journey.
Good luck! This journey is worth it!

PS: if things get too complicated, send me a message and I'd see if I can help.

suogal:

Thank you very much I put in 2 years experience.
Please do we need reference letter for all job experience on our application or just for the most recent one.
Also please must our primary noc be the most recent experience or it can be a previous role

Haha the nostalgia!

mastravel:
Welcome back @stencil!
Last time you posted here was in January
I'm sure you were tired of seeing @lagbaja88's bullying No pun intended @lagbaja88

This doesn't matter. You can use it.

phillip2:
My BSC was geology, I was given biology to teach during NYSC with a government secondary school, can I use this NYSC to claim work experience please,will it cause any hindrance because of the course I was given to teach?

if you're single then your score should be around 468.
Carefully go through everything again and see where the error is.
You might have put 2 years work experience instead of 3. when I changed it to two years in the CRS tool, I got 443

suogal:
Dear Team,
Kindly assist,
I am a 26 year old graduate with 2 years 6 months experience in the bank(current role, primary noc), 8 months in an IT firm.
LSRW- 8.5,7.5, 7, 7
I have Bcs 1 year certificate and Bcs 4 years both already evaluated. But my score on EE still came down to 443.
I am thinking I didn't fill my EE profile well, remarking my ielts as well as applying for jobs to boost my profile.
Please I will need the house expert guidance.
Looking forward to your responses

Hi @yemblaze @blissnenye @stencil johnnybravo10
Could you help a brother with mod IELTS material or any good materials/whatsapp group. i have been trying to pm you on here. I have gone through your priceless contributions on various threads, and i want to say thank you as it has guided me so far.
could you please email me on [email protected]

@Danbam I think it would be great if you edit/delete this comment before other see it and follow your "advice"

@arcfresky, I don't know how important this journey is to you, but it would be beneficial to get into the habit of researching so you don't get misled by anyone on here including myself.
I have answered this exact question numerous times on this forum and many are in canada.
If you need further confirmation, please tweet IRCC/CIC on twitter and they would respond to you.
I wish you all the best in this journey.

TO ANYONE READING THIS.

If you are unmarried and get married POST AOR and then add your spouse, your scores WILL NOT BE RECALCULATED.
You will need an updated POF, medicals etc.. The scores would NOT be affected.

Good luck everyone!

Danbam:


This is not true @arcfresky
According to IRCC, If you want to add a spouse post AOR, You’ll need to use the CRS tool to recalculate your points to be sure it’s above the ITA minimum score of your round. For instance, If the CRS Cutoff score that got you an ITA is 461 and after adding your spouse, your CRS falls to 459, you’ll lose the ITA.
So think of it well before adding spouse.
The alternative is to apply for spousal sponsorship.

If she has legally changed her name. Use her current legal name, whatever her port says.

Loverquin:
Good day Fam,
Please I am writing on behalf of my brother-inlaw who has been in the pool for sometime as a single applicant but just recently got married last month and would like to add his spouse to his profile.
The issue is he doesn't know if he should use her maiden name ( which is what is in her int'l port) or use the new surname (her husband's surname) ?
Please house kindly help in clarifying this issue. Will appreciate your responses.

1. You can get a same name/person affidavit
2. This can easily be done in the UK. A quick google search shows it's quite "inexpensive" too

Daboll:
Please I’m still looking for a response for this please.
Hi, please I'll appreciate clarification regarding my application. My name as stated on my port is Steven Oluwaseun Popoola, but on some of my documents, it's only Steven Popoola
1) Please will an LOE suffice for this or I have to do an affidavit?
2) I live in UK, is it possible to do an affidavit from Nigeria and get it scanned or it has to be from UK?
I'll appreciate your response please. Thanks so much.

If you get married and add a spouse Post AOR, your scores would not be recalculated.
Since your score would be unaffected, I would suggest adding the spouse as accompanying.

ArcFresky:
Hello house, will there be a delay if I get married and add my gf as a non-accompaning?
I am already in the pool, and expecting ITA

IRCC isn't concerned with how much you get paid. What they care about is that you do get paid, no matter how "small" it is

wale200:
Good day my dear seniors.
Please pardon my question here.
If spouse is the PA and because of covid her salary was slashed. This has been her salary for more than 6 months now and it's clear on her statement of .
My question is this. Which salary is it advisable for her to use? She feels the current salary is kinda small.
Thanks and may God bless all of you in Canada. We are coming to you guys soon God willing.

If you were paid for the job and if the job was in a qualifying NOC - You can count it as part of your 3 years experience.
Has to be NOC A, B, 0. Click here to search the NOC list.
ps: Plumbing is NOC B and can be used.

Danny6552:


Sorry to ask bro .. for those that learnt trade skills like plumbin or welding.. or painting. How will they know if you have 3 years experience or not

I'm sorry but this is impossible to answer. Your best bet is to call and get an agent to give you an update on your application if possible.
You can also use one of those immigration tracking softwares to see how others with your AOR are faring, that'd give you an idea.

hairbyuj:
Please guys
I have a Paper application pending in Nova Scotia, I just want to ask how soon they will attend to me.
Is there still hope to get biometric before January

Would you be exporting your vehicle? If so I can send you a link with things to do before crossing the border.
If you're driving a rental, there's nothing much to know, it'd be the same process as coming in through the airport except you'd have to exit the car and go into the building for processing.

Hello,
Is there any thread on moving to canada from the US. I need info about going through the michigan border, if its possible and what to expect.
Thank you

1. BSC + OND = 2 or more certificates. You have to evaluate both, CIC goes by what your evaluation says.
2. Studying French is an excellent idea. If you can find an instructor that specializes in preparing for TEF exams that would great.
3. Only one year needs to be continuous, which you already have covered.

Many have misunderstood the 6 months statement thing. CIC is only asking that the POF letter include last 6 months average balance.
It never said you should keep money in your for 6 months.
Please see attached.

Jacknn:
Please I have few questions to ask as I'm just begging the process
1) I have a BSC and OND(3yrs) which I believe can stand for me as 2 or more degrees..I'm I suppose to do Wes evaluation for both degrees or only for my BSC.. I intend using both so as to claim points for 2 or more degrees:;

2) I intend learning French to boast my score going into next yr when I intend to enter the pool; if I'm serious with the French and I use approximately 5 to 6months to prepare for it and ielts can I ace it in that period of time,any body with experience dealing with the French language,how its been done,when will u get ur result, what's the minimum score to get.how many months can one really get prepared to ace the exam and all,just anitin info would do

3) I have 3 years experience including NYSC, but just 1 continuous yrs of experience but I want to claim points for 3yrs,hope it can work..and for the case of proof of payment via the place u work..is the proof of payment via bank statement just for like 6months back or a year etc,how many months or years do de ask of from ur bank statement when applying thankss

You are spot on! I used my experience during school and I have PPR. Countless others have done this too.

You are also spot on in regards to the One year continuous experience. Anything after that can added up to make 3 years. Even if you have to add several one month experiences.

Keep up the good work Mmamaroon. You've done amazingly well.

Mmamaroon:


You want to put cocaine in my pocket!

My understanding is that at a minimum you must have 1 year CONTINUOUS work experience to qualify for FSW.

If an applicant already has 1 year continuous locked down, the other months or years of work experience do not have to be continuous, if all other conditions are assumed to have been met i.e. pay, hours etc. This is my understanding....but I may be mistaken.

That's an apartment in the picture.
Apartments/Condos typically have surface and underground parking.

I know it's tiring but it will come. Sooner than later.

I just taya for the whole Canada Waka. In my 20th month now. I don leave am to God, face front

Yes you can.

Cerka:
Hello everyone,

@Ednut1

Avchi:
This is really interesting.
For people wanting to relocate to Canada and haven't been able to meet up due to low IELTS score or even financial restrictions, there's a tested and trusted pathway, through the Rural and Northern Canada Immigration Blueprint.
It's very affordable and you can relocate to Canada and get Permanent Residence in 6-9 months.

Withdraw profile? Why is that?
If we could kindly refrain from giving "advice" on matters we are unsure of, it would help us in the long run. These are people's lives here. Especially with how unpredictable things have been.

@ Grreenk, Please do exactly as Ednut1 and Dimple10 have said. You have absolutely nothing to worry about.

elohim24:

Just withdraw the profile and create a new one. With 474 you should get ita in the next draw, tie-breaking rule shouldn't apply to you if the next draw is below 474.

Elohim24, please forgive me if this sounds harsh in anyway, that is not my intention, I've just seen enough people give up or go the wrong route after getting the "wrong advice".

You shouldn't be worried. If you still are, you could write a letter of explanation but just go straight to the point, don't waffle so you don't say something that would be cause for concern.

LuckBrother:
@Stencil @ednut1 @ everyone oo

Pls what do you think

To claim work experience points, the job has to meet these qualifications.

Your skilled work experience must be:
NOC A, B, 0
Must be Paid (No Volunteer work, you can use paid internships that isn't a course/program requirement)
Full time or Part time

If what you did met these qualifications, you can use it, if not, you'd have to find something else to replace it as long as it is a relevant NOC and paid.
It is a good practice to refer to IRCC/CIC website for information that isn't subject to interpretation.

francophone134:
Hello gurus and all, I greet the house. I am really not happy now guys, when I used the crs calculator on cic website my crs score appeared at 480, however I used 3years experience. Nysc, IT after my national diploma and post Nysc. However someone told me I cant use It experience to claim work experience. So when I recalculated, my score dropped to 468 which is very low. Guys is it really true I can't use post National diploma experience to claim work experience. Thanks for your response. I appreciate you all

horlorbah:

I finished ND in 2012, then did my IT in a manufacturing company till 2013 after which I was retained at the company for another year till 2014, then I got itted to a Federal University through Direct entry, finished 2018 and I served till 2019. After I finished serving, I've been working as a car dealer so, i get paid but it's mostly based on commissions after sales so there is nothing like a fixed salary and it's usually bank transfer or cash.
Now the question is, after I was employed for a year when i finished my IT, i was paid but it was by cash and not bank transfer. Can I still claim my 3 years work experience for working from 2013-2014(Post IT), 2018-2019(NYSC) and 2019-2020. Thanks

Page One should have a cash certificate template you can use. Your method of payment isn't the issue, the concern is the 2019-2020 experience, I am not sure how it counts as one year given that 2020 hasn't ended.
The Express entry software might automatically count it as one year but when an agent reviews it, he/she would see that you haven't spent 12 months at that job.

Please that you're adding up the total number of months, you need 36 months to claim 3 years. Doesn't necessarily have to be 2012-2013 etc.
Only one year has to be continuous, the rest can be patches of months put together to give you the maximum amount of months you need.

@intrinsicniyi - Congratulations on getting eligibility ed! You can now breathe a sigh of relief. At this stage, it's safe to pack your bags

@sesan01 - I would re-send those documents as soon as possible, including the pay stubs and all the information you sent the first time.
Use ilovepdf.com to merge all of them and name the file something like FirstName_LastName_Proof_Of_Employment and follow up with a phone call until you get confirmation that the file has been received.
Then order GCMS notes again just to be on the safe side.

Congratulations in advance to those who are expectant in Part 10!
I look forward to reading your PPR gists!

This journey is indeed worth it, don't give up!

I'd suggest you wait. Mine expired shortly after I got PPR but my COPR came with one year extension.
I didn't even get a chance to request the extension, they did it on their own without me redoing medicals.

Jbaby09:
Good day people ..
Please is does anyone know if there’s an extension for Medicals? Mine expires in 2 days?
Please I’d like advise and clarification
Thank you ...

Yes to bolded.
She can also email WES in addition if she wants.

vitrendy4eva:
House please I have a question from a friend. Her ECA evaluation with WES has the “name discrepancy statement” on the report, because her first degree was in her maiden name, while she ed with WES using the married surname on her port. Now she’s about evaluating another degree which was gotten using her married surname. Should she WES to explain to avoid confusion, or will a one and same person affidavit post ECA/change of name affidavit(she already has this) suffice?

There are answers on the web regarding this. It doesn't look like you'd have to start all over again but you have to act fast due to covid and all.

PPR received but late submission

slushy:
Hi guys. Please I have some questions
1. If you receive the ready for visa email and don’t submit your port for about 5 months because you didn’t see the email. Is there any recourse.
2. If this email was received in March pre covid can you plead the pandemic for not submitting your port? Is the expectation that you have to raise a webform if you are unable to submit the port?
3. Please is there any way to remedy this or the interested party has to start all over.
Thanks guys.
