Tranquill:

What it says is proof of at least one year of being lawfully admitted in your current place of residence. So from Sept 2012 to Nov.2013 is over one year so you include ur residence permit that covers this period. Wether it is expiring soon or not will not affect your application.

Thanks for the clarification.

Bwave:
CIC is handling apps received first week of July within this period, so expect to hear from them soon.BTW is your payment confirmed?if yes, then you can rest assured of your PER.

Thanks guys for ur response.
You know that is part of the reason I am worried. My credit card has not been charged yet and I haven't gotten any message from them either.

You get your CC/DD charged at the point when you receive your PER. Hope you'd share the goodnews when you receive the PER in the coming weeks.

Unfortunately,you have to write the IELTS again as you need to have a minimum of band score 6.0 in each of the language abilities. The score in your reading test is less than what is required.

@Solomonwis, thanks alot....happy sunday everyone

prommy12: Hello solomonwis, can a B.SC in accounting wit 15years experience apply(civil servant). Thanks

Of course you can apply. Unfortunately,the eligible occupation you appear to qualify for has reached the cap limit of 300 already.

You can be on the look out for next in-take from 2014. In the mean time,you can get your language test done and evaluate your educational credentials.

Reading through the thread will give you an insight into the steps to follow.

I received my PER on the 25th august 2013. Does this mean I am good to go?

Application was received on june 11th. Noc 2134

alexito48201: Application was received on june 11th. Noc 2134

Thanks for sharing.

Solomonwis, please if someone studied one of the courses above nd only have 1 year internship experience, can she apply? Also if someone read Electrical Engineering but works as a petroleum engineer now, can she apply?

Hotstepper: Solomonwis, please if someone studied one of the courses above nd only have 1 year internship experience, can she apply? Also if someone read Electrical Engineering but works as a petroleum engineer now, can she apply?

One year internship will qualify as long as it is a paid internship. The question will be how an intern with a one year work experience meet up the other requirements. whichever way,you have to meet the minimum 67 points.

An electrical engineer with work experience in petroleum engineering will also qualify as long as educational qualification is deemed equivalent to that of a canadian and the work experience can be attested to by the employer.

The amount needed to send your application depends on the medium through which you intend dispatching the application as well as the weight of the application.if you intend using a courier service{which is highly recommended},it is best to approach the courier service provider of your choice to know the cost implication.

If you have not been using the Mastercard for normal online transactions,it is best you approach a bank that can issue bank draft payable in Canada{I understand GT Bank offers this service for a fee}. From experience however, a whole lot of people have used their normal mastercard without any hassle.

I really don't understand the last question regarding the basis for which work references are confirmed. Anything and everything you submit can be confirmed for authenticity and genuity and if anything,you might be called in for an interview{this is however a rare case}, They can choose to use whatever medium expedient to confirm anything and everything submitted along with your application,the concern should be the authenticity of the documents submitted and not the medium of confirmation of such.

Could you help clarify the link below

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp#eg76

I am sending the application by courier, would there be a need to affix postage? also, which is the NOC category and which is the primary NOC 2011 CODE.

Regards

If sending by courier,there's no need to affix any postage stamp.

The NOC code is the code under which you want your application assessed. The primary occupation and NOC code are as listed on the NOC website. Basically,you need to quote the code for the eligible occupation under which you want your application assessed. I believe your question is in relation to filling form imm0008,if it is,just fill in the code for your eligible occupation.
