OK. thanks

It was practically the hard (original) copy of the soft that was sent to me.

This applies to a Canadian citizen or PR sponsoring the spouse i.e Family Class Sponsorship. It does not apply to express entry.

Why cant she just say she's single and move on with her life?

Ummm. .. maybe because she's NOT single.

Thank you so much for your response

Babachi:

depends on his role in the HMO. If he works in a clinic in the HMO then you can combine it. there's also a job title named managers in healthcare. He could check if his job duties qualify under.

LOL I taya for world people.

I am not sure indicating separated and just LOE will work. She will need to show evidences that the divorce process has started. If not, she will have to get him to provide a sworn statement that they are separated, that he has no intention of reconciliation, no intention of ever immigrating to Canada, and agrees that she can never sponsor him for immigration, then IRCC may accept that.

A separation status is also not by word of mouth. Filing for divorce does not equate separation. To file as separated, she also needs to file processes in court. That procedure is faster because you are saying we have issues that may or may not be resolved but for now I need to absolve my self of the legal liability as a spouse so court separate us. Judges are more inclined to grant such orders faster as there is still an opening for settlement.

Oh good!! lol. Pardon me, I am an Engineer, so my knowledge is limited when it comes to legal issues.

I believe, this might be the best way for her to go about it if she is sure she is "done" with the marriage.

@eddycross thanks alot for your kindness......he just asked me what job functions I want him to state inside and I went to the closest NOC related to Commercial banking account officer code 6235 and copied the job function stated in it. I will also ask him to help with his business card. Thank you for helping out.......GOD bless your all..amen

eddycross:


This is fine.

Don't forget to get a Business card from this person as well... You can scan this along with the letter. Hope you have a clear view of what the letter should contain though.

All the best.

Hi,
Just woke up to see that the document checklist for me has being updated following the two day maintenance cic was doing. One new checklist for me is proof that my sister resides in canada and an example of the document to show is a copy of bank statement or utility bill showing the relative's address. Now previous to them updating the checklist, I tried collecting my sister's bank statement and she said that it has her old address and that she cannot give me because she doesn't want her sensitive information out there like that. She then gave me her cell phone bills which has her current address on it and a letter from her employer saying she's employed by the company and works out of their vancouver office.

Now, I don't know if I can use these two documents as my proof that she resides in canada given that its not one of the example documents stated in checklist. I also don't know if cell phone bills count as utility bills in canada because I know generally utility bills are normally gas and electric. I also tried to get gas or electric bill from her but she lives with a friend and the gas/electric bills as well as the lease are all in her friend's name since she's the renter of the house.

Am curious to know from anyone who has gone through this process and has a relative who is permanently residing in canada, what documents they sent as proof of their relative residing in canada and whether or not the documents i currently have for this is okay.

Anything with address of relative will suffice, I used phone bill and water bill

Engineer Dupyshoo - I'm also an Engineer. I'll need advise on chartership/certifications ...but this will be after I get my PR. Or do you think there is anything I can do now before then..? maybe registering with engineering councils / bodies...?

Many thanks in advance

This Wunmi Issue is an eye Opener, I hope she is able to resolve it quickly, I have been considering removing my spouse from the application to get more points and then file for her few years later

With regard to registration as an Engineer, it depends on the province you decide to move to.

Most of them however require course by course ECA from WES, so I always advise Engineers and Geologists to go for WES instead of IQAS cos of this. As you require at least 1 year work experience before you can become a Professional Engineer (PE) in Canada, the best you can get now without Canadian Experience is Engineer in Training (EIT). I have already got my EIT with APEGA (Alberta Engineering body), so I am able to give you any info you require if you are interested.

Please note that registration as an Engineer is not compulsory. However, if you don't do it, you might be restricted in the kind of job offer you can take.

Thanks so much for your prompt response.

I've been researching provinces suitable for engineering and I have a mini list of Alberta, Ontario, BC and Saskatchewan. Thankfully my ECA was completed by WES - so that's one hurdle crossed.

I'm very keen on registering as an Engineer (in Canada) and the EIT sounds like something I'll love to pursue right after my PR. Congratulations on your EIT and yes, I'm very much interested in ALL the information you can give to me.

Ehm - I'm not sure how you want us to share information, but I'm happy to drop you a private message if that's okay.

Many thanks

Sibling points have been automatically updated in my profile. I noticed it when I updated my husband's IELTSand the new survey under work.

perks:


U need to also make sure d money in the account is in excess of what is required.

Yes it is in excess. Thank you

Hello Peeps, Pls I have a sibling in Canada and I filled that out when creating my profile. However, my CRS score has not been updated with additional 15 points by IRCC to reflect that. Is there something I am not doing?

bigbroda:


Thanks bro, thought as much.

Thanks all

No, you're not doing anything wrong.

There's a new request under work history. Fill out the survey and check again. The points whould be automatically updated.

Good day, please how do I join the express entry pool and what are the documents required to join the point apart from IELTS results. Pls don't refer me to page one of this thread o. I'm sorry for taking you back. Your kind response is needed. Thank you

IamIye:
Good morning all.
I notified CIC about a change in my marital status on May 8th (Submitted my application & received AOR in April).
I used the Case Specific Inquiry form and also sent a mail to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca but I still haven't been sent a link to add my spouse to my application.
The Case Specific Inquiry auto-reply said I'll get a response in 10 business days. When i didn't get anything after 10 business days I completed the form again and sent it and I've still not gotten a response.
Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this?

This is not so surprising although not the norm. They usually respond to serious reasons for CSE such as marriage update.

If you check emiye's post, he faced same issue, he had to send another cse/email after 10days of no initial reply, b4 they replied him officially.

For me, I was lucky and they replied in 6days after sending both cse/cpc-ottawa email. They sent email and message in cic account. The pdf message in account will give you instructions. Most likely, they will tell you to upload wife's medicals, passport and pr fee receipt into ur account within 30days.

SHALLOM

Ok. Thanks. I just filled out the survey, I will await the uodate. Thanks

Be careful! The job functions are there to guide you. YOU MUST NOT COPY THEM WORD FOR WORD. Your boss should write your job functions in his own word but it must match closely to at least 70% of the job function of the NOC you have chosen.

I will advise you to read, don't rush, do your research so that you will not do things that will amount to misrepresentation or denial.

Just to add to this,NOC 6235 is marketing,customer service,loan documentation both in retail/commercial banking.If I read clearly you are a teller/processor.Please review the NOC codes properly and choose one close to your role.You don't necessarily have to copy the duties.You should specify the duties you do daily which automatically should click with the NOC.Goodluck

Dear Family,

I just want to drop a few points to encourage someone this hour especially people with IELTS scores that didn't come out as expected.
So i started this journey since Aug 2015..i rushed to do IELTS Without much practice and i scored: LSRW: 7.5,6,8,7 and i hired David Cohen Law Firm paid 2000 USD but nowhere was i advised that my score is bad and i need to retake the IELTS. I figured that out on a thread like this that was closed. So Practically, i read the previous thread and have been reading this thread since it started from Page 0.

Dont be in a hurry, every step is a major step: Practice, pray and Plan, and Read....
I Retook the exam in April 2016, when i figured out the CRS draw kept going higher: Behold: it was the hardest test i ever came across this was after so many practice sessions on Youtube, my hubby scaled thru because he listens to rap music... the listening was terrible..so i understand if the exam is tough..the result was: LSRW: 7.5,7.5,7.5,6.5.... it was a terrible try i must say coupled with the fact that i was heavily pregnant.
I eventually lost the baby at delivery in May and i was devastated and numb for weeks...
But Guess what i bought a book in church: JOYCE Meyer: NEVER GIVE UP...That book quickened the fire within me in this terrible times and i made up my mind to re-write IELTS exam, my hubby felt it was the wrongest time to write an exam because of the situation surrounding but my spirit man was lit and on fire..I paid for another IELTS AND Practiced, rehearsed, like my life depended on it..Prayed like my life was going to end..JESUS Did it: AUG 2016 Result: LSRW: 9,7,7.5,7...My score went up to 465.. but the subsequent draws were high..
I kept faith alive...till Jan 4 when i saw dat the draw came down and i didn't get an ITA after contacting DAVID COhen law firm they said my profile expired a day before and my contract had expired that the contract was for a year, remember i contacted them in July 2015 because a family friend relocated his whole family to Canada some years back and advised me they were the best and anytime i plan to take such a step i should contact them.
I was furious sent a mail to the whole high ranking officials in the firm and how they were joking with my relocation plan.. apparently we were not on the same page .. They decided to give me a waiver to renew my profile in the POOL...
Jan 11th draw i got ITA.. They informed me..and said they will collect 1500USD to assist in compiling my documents and submit my application to avoid mis-representation. I had already had enough of the firm and their shit.. so i told them i wont be continuing my application with them.
With the help of this amazing thread i was armed with information to submit a successful application.. which i did with my spouse.. We keep reading...Never GIVE UP.. Guys..see you all in Canada..

Na wao, $2000 just to fill forms and $1500 just to submit, abi, did they write IELTS for you? Yet they didn't even give you updated information and didn't recreate your profile before it expired.

Sorry about your baby, I know one never really moves on from such tragedy but I hope you've been able to accept it and looking out for the rainbow. Your story is an inspiration.

@Blackbuddy I follow your message on LMIA number have you got your LMIA pls get back to me because am waiting for that too .

Hi, I actually don't have LMIA number and I'm not expecting one. I came to Canada through the FSW 2014 program, I'm a landed PR holder. Is there any other way I can assist you?

.

@Beckyhopeful.......thanks for the insight......I will review the NOC list further to get something much closer to a processor.......by chance if anyone here have a better understanding of which NOC I can best fit into.......please kindly help me with that......I really need help with this......everything is in good shape except for this NOC.....and it's a major factor in the process.
Thanks

Hello all, I am new here and I have been reading some of the pages of the thread to meet up. Our plan is to move as a family latest January 2018. We have started the WES evaluation, still having issues with school verification for DH. Unfortunately I had not read this thread before starting the WES process, as we would have saved tones of monies on evaluating only our highest qualifications and faxing our certificates, but that's already done and we have to just go with it. I have copied the info on IELTS and we are practising and reading in preparation to do ours in Aug/Sept this year.

I have some concerns though that I need the gurus in the house to assist me with. on the NOC classification and marriage certificate job description, I need some clarity.

1. I got married in 2003 and at the time I was working as a Logistics Light Fleet Administrator, so my job title was written Administrator.
As that job is over 10 years , do I still need to correct my title on the marriage certificate?

2. Though I have over 10 years work experience including NYSC, I can only get reference letters for jobs done between 2007-2010 and 2013-2016. Is this sufficient for the EE? Do I need to get a former supervisor's letter with his business card to cover the other years 2000-2007?

3.My job role changed a lot over the years and I am not seeing an NOC that relates to my job description(s). I worked as a Logistics HSE complaince Officer 2007 -2010; as an HSE travel coordinator, analysing and advising staff on the associated risks and hazards on prospectove business trips as well as collating HSE performance statistics data for the company between 2013 -2016. which NOC do I select?

I appreciate your responses.

Thank you.
(back to reading for IELTS).
