Thanks for the info Solomonwis. I didnt work up to 30 hours a week so I can't claim points with it.

Question No. 12 of the 'Schedule 3 Form' asks for details of my work experience. Should I include NYSC or forget about it since I didn't work enough hours?

solomonwis:

NYSC experience counts only if it is paid work experience and you work for a minimum of approximately 40 hours per week.

one final question solomonwise before i embark on this fsw journey i had a 3.48 cgpa in chemical engineering i have professional cert in safety also and i had experience as a quality control officer,1 yr nysc as a teacher and i work presently as a procurement officer in bank,u know canada with standard thats why am asking,hope to hear from u

Please I have a question for my colleagues that have gotten PER's.

Question 5 of the SCHEDULE A: Background/Declaration form asks for 'Personal Details of Your Mother'.

The first question there asks for 'Mother's Family name at birth'. Do I need to include my mother's surname at birth (ie her nee) or do I still include her surname after marriage which is my fathers surname.

I feel its supposed to be her family name before marriage but I just need confirmation from you guys asap please.

Thanks a lot.

nee name...

You are to use her surname before she got married to your dad..

Question No. 12 of the 'Schedule 3 Form' asks for details of my work experience. Should I include NYSC or forget about it since I didn't work enough hours?

You will receive points for the number of years of full-time paid work (or the equivalent in part-time paid work) you have obtained within the last ten years. Full-time means at least 30 hours of paid work in one week.

You must have at least one year of continuous full-time, paid work experience (or the equivalent in continuous part-time work) in the primary occupation you specify in your application.

I THINK U CAN CALCULATE THE EQUIVALENT OF THE 30 HOURS PER WEEK
E.G If You work 15 hrs per week part time (2 years work experience will be equivalent to a full time work experience working 30 hrs per week)

Hello guys, I just got my IELTS result today. Listening 6, Reading 7, Writing 7.5. Speaking 7. Guess that's 22 points.

Please I intend sending my application on Tuesday after getting my Work Reference Letter on monday but I have a question. I want to send the original reference letters instead of photocopies since the checklist says the CIC Officers may still request for original copies of the letter at a later date. Please I want to know if anyone here with PER sent originals. Also is it necessary to notorize my Birth Certificate?

Many congrats man. I am sure this is a PER. Please when did CIC receive your application and what NOC have you applied under?

Congrats bro. When was your application received at CIC, your NOC code and when did you get your PER?

@peaceoffering
My brother, I guess you did not understand what solomonwis implied.The Cap for your NOC was reached a long tome ago. Don't rely on CIC updates because the only count the apps they have processed, they don't count as soon as the mail arrives. But it is still ok to hope for the best.

I'm sorry if I sounded like I work for CIC,in actual fact I don't.

I will be happy to see you announce the receipt of your PER here.

Best of luck!
