Mivi: Hello Nairalanders, I have been reading your comments and they're very enlightening. Thanks. I submitted the fswp 2014 on the 30th August with every document but I realised after posting that I didn't include the NOC code and stream - Federal Skilled Work on the envelope. I sent it to the courier address though.
Would the application be treated?
Thanks

Mivi: Yes, I can track that it is in Montreal, Canada but not yet signed for.
Thanks for putting my mind at rest. I have been wondering since morning when I found out my oversight.
Many thanks for the prompt response as well.
Cheers.

ifechukwukamso: Dear members
Please in raising a bank draft for the right of Permanent residence fee are there any particular bank preferred.
I use standard chartered bank and GTB
Thanks for anticipated responses
God bless

damkollins:
I'm familiar with Gtbank in raising draft.
You need to have a domiciliary account with them and fund your account with equivalent amount of draft you want to raise.
You can now instruct them to raise the draft in Canadian dollars and give them the recipient details.
After funding your account....you can raise your draft within 3 hours.
Where is your location in Nigeria?
Cheers.

ifechukwukamso: Thanks you sir.
Am so grateful. God bless you
Am actually up north

Meritl: Hello house.
I've got a friend who worked for 6 months with a firm but is unable to get a reference letter. She is very very safe with her points (over 69 points).
She thinks if she mentions this firm in the "Background declaration form" as part of her activities since her 18th year birthday, but not in the "economic class form", she may be penalised.
Any need for her to worry?

ifechukwukamso: Dear Solomon and other forum members
How is the right of permanent residence fee paid. Is it by draft or credit card like the application fee
Also i was requested to pay for processing fee for my new child in addition to other documents. How am i to pay for this
I received the email for medicals but have not seen the medical forms sent via post from accra. What do i do
Thanks

damkollins:
She should fill both forms with her work experience of six months even if there is no letter of experience.....no issues.
CIC will not penalyse but will only not award points for jobs listed without letter of experience.
She's cool and ready to go.
Cheers.

Meritl:

Thanks. But the "economic class form " has ticks for just 1yr and above. She should write with a pen then?

unibadan: hello house,

To complete the additional family info for spouse, who is the applicant in this case?

damkollins:
You will fill one form as applicant .
Your spouse will fill another cool of the form as applicant.
You will submit two forms of additional family info...one for you and one for your spouse.
Same applies to background declaration form too.
Cheers.

princecharles28: Hello Everyone,

Please what are the chances of sending an omitted document (foreign educational credential) as a follow up after the first submission? I attached a cover letter, the credential, the checklist and the DHL confirmation for the first shipping. This was my last resort. What are my chances please?

damkollins:
As it is now.....prayers can work wonders .
It's much easier if you had UCI number ....like i said,prayers is what you continuously need to be offering now for the favour of God.
All is well!
Cheers.

Just checked the cap update and NOC 1113 reamained (-) Yet I have seen someone with PER under this NOC, what could be responsible for not updating it by cic as such #alittleworried#

unibadan:
I am expressing same concern.

damkollins:


These guys are not God...they make mistakes too!
A lot of mistakes have been made on their website this year regarding updates of forms....but we cant fault them.
They will soon correct it.
If you take time to individually sum up the figures for each NOC,you will discover about 2 or 3 difference with their overall figure after the recent update!
Cheers.

solomonwis:

Have you made effort to see the "Accra version" yourself? The agent must be one of the quacks around!

The Central Intake Office of the CIC is saddled with the responsibility of assessing application to ensure completeness of application and eligibility of applicants. The visa offices of the CIC all over the world makes the final decision on PR applications.

There's no visa office version of the checklist for FSWP....The only checklist acceptable is the one on the CIC website here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5612E.pdf

3rdHigh:

Collins, thanks, you're good @ dousing tensions we just keep our fingers cross and hope for the best outcome. @ Unibadan, are u of the same NOC like me 1113?

yomifowe: Hello good people,
What if you cant get a reference from your former office but you have documents to prove that you worked there, would it still not be counted for you?

bees74: thanks solomonwis.well done
Pls i have other questions
If i sell my land and pay the money (lump sum) in my account,is a cover letter enough to explain the lump sum deposit or do i still need other documents?
In the economic form qtn 12 b where i av to list places i have worked in the past do i need to include my service year experience and main duties since i already mentioned it in my background.pls note that i do not need my service year to claim points hence not getting a reference letter.i have enough experience in my present job.i am only concerned because the question states that list all the places you have worked in the last 10 years
In relation to that the document checklist says that provide reference letters for all the places you have worked.ALL?im confused o
Ihirdly i have a stare biirth cert hope it is accepted or do i need to get one from npc.my spouse has declaration of age would that suffice for his.
Thank u in advance.pls appreciate the houses' response

damkollins:
Try to get all supporting documents that will link you with the company e.g payslips,employment letter and so on.
Also,I strongly advise that you get an affidavit to explain the reason why the company is not issuing you the reference letter and also use the affidavit to declare your entry/exit to/from company,working hours,monthly/annual salary and you job descriptions/duties.
Affidavit will help strengthen your case.
if you also have a senior colleague of yours in the company,he/she also can write letter of reference for you on a plain sheet as an addition but please,the affidavit is very important in conjunction with payslips and employment letter.
Cheers.
