What is rprf stage? Right of permanent residence? if it is, then raising a bank draft won't be any problem in ACCRA as you can raise that even in local currency (I mean Cedis)

Tranquill:

I do not beleive that WES or any other agency for that matter can carry out evaluation without seeing the official transcript. The evaluation is done based on the guidlines agreed upon with CIC. It is the individual modules taken in the course of any particular programm that they use in establishing its comparism with canadian equivalence. Also, your official transcript confirms the date of birth you are claiming in your application for credential evaluation. The 'relationship' they have established with any institution can only hasten the process but not for them to overlook a basic requirement. They can only confirm if the transcript they received is genuine or not but no agency will take the 1st step of getting the transcript. It is the the responsibility of the applicant to make such request.

nanonye: Thanks a lot guys couldn't be more grateful for this response. Please I have another question. I lost my original birth certificate so any idea what alternatives I can use? Do they accept Age Declarations? Thanks a lot. quote author=ferdimako]

Nice piece but on my own case, my employer is the one who wants me to leave and fulfill my dreams. He was involved in preparing my skill reference letter and signed it.I'm grateful to him.

thebaft:

You can use an age declaration. It is a legal document. Also, you can attempt to contact any National Population Commission office near you (at the local government offices) and ask them for the process on how to obtain a Birth Certificate via Birth Registration.

nanonye: Thanks for this update Solowis. Seems the numbers are filling up quickly. Please I have a question for you and the other guys that have received their PER. Please at what point does someone's application count towards the numbers quoted? Is it at the point CIC receives an application or is it at the point a PER is received by someone that has applied? For example, the Engineering Managers NOC Category currently shows 190. Now if i apply to that category, does this figure rise to 191 at the point when CIC receives my application in the post or does it rise to 191 after I receive my PER? Could someone please shed little light on the content of the messages they got both when CIC received their application and the message they got when they received a PER. (This is optional. Just if you wish to because letters are personal). Thanks a lot guys.

mercylicious: Please any advise on getting a job offer in Canny.
I need that as if u hv a job offer, the cap is not to be considered.

solomonwis:

Your application is deemed complete and received officially only when you receive your PER and your CC charged,that is when it is counted as part of the complete applications received.

You don't get any message when CIC receives your message other than the tracking info from your courier company. The only time you receive info about your application is when your CC is charged and you receive PER.

bannana:

@Solomonwis thank you for this explanation I was just curious and wondering if you applied for the FSW program and you have gotten a PER.
My second question is that I applied under one of the already filled caps though the cap had not been filled at the time I applied but I didn't get a PER till it was filled,does that mean my application didn't make the number of filled caps? going by your last explanation.Thank you.

solomonwis:

I have gone through that route before (and I have an on-going FSWP going, though that started before the 2013 session).I have actually been on the FSWP since 2007/2008.


If you have not received a PER and your CC was not charged before the cap was reached, then your application will be returned (or it is on its way back to you).

bannana:

I would expect that since the FSWP is an ongoing process then applications that have met all requirements but did not scale through the application cap selection stage will be kept and reconsidered for the next rounds of selection.There will be no point sending it back for example if the occupation remains on the list of NOC occupations for the next round,anyway my opinion though.I wish everyone good luck!

solomonwis:

They don't keep applications that don't come in before the cap is reached. They return them back to the applicants except in cases where the applicants have a valid job offer.

Yes, the FSWP is an on-going process but the regulations keep changing every year and applications will be subjected to the rules in existence at the time when they are treated, it will therefore be unfair to subject for instance, last year's application to this year's rules as it will be to the disadvantage of the applicants hence the need to return applications that don't come in before the cap is reached.

Going forward, next year's applications will be treated under a different package all together. There will be an Expression of Interest by the applicants on a platform to be designed (just as it is with New Zealand and Australia) and a whole number of changes will be expected to take place. So, it is pointless keeping this year's applications for next year in-take given the number of changes expected.

jasminehunny: Hello everyone,pls i need ur help. All my documents are well-ready by Gods grace. However i have issues with viewing and printin some of the application forms. It keeps showing the below (attached picture)page. I have upgraded my adobe and tried openin on other systems but same result. Am i doin something wrong? Someone pls assist me wit info. Bless!

bannana:

Since you have upgraded your Pdf reader already and no luck, I suggest you retry other systems probably a cafe or something and try to re-download the documents afresh.It is likely that the Pdf files are already corrupt.I hope that solves the problem.Good luck!

jasminehunny:

Thank u! I'll do just that..

bayulll01: Hello house bit curious I just talked to my sis in cagliary alberta,she gave me go ahead to apply and am applying as a chemical engineer the cap yet to full,my problem is I don't have work experience and she told me experience very important, and also what class of degree can one have before someone can apply. I also got a professional certification on occupational health and safety will it be an advantage.hope to hear from u guys

solomonwis:

Work experience is really essential in FSWP, what work experience do you have? It is good you got a professional certification in HSE but do you have work experience in that regard?

Class of degree does not come in to play here, so long as your degree is seen to be equivalent to that of a Canadian.

I will advise therefore that you only apply under the eligible occupation which you have educational qualifications in.

bayulll01:
Solomonwise u are wonderful u no dey sleep,God will continue to be with u as u are helping us.presently I work with Stambic IBTC as a procurement officer if u ask me not related at all to what I read in the university,but I did a 1yr siwes with a producing company as a quality control officer I don't know if I can include it.anyway thanks and have a wonderful day ahead
