DeepDarkTunnel:
Please gurus in the house,

I just received a request letter from CIC with the following content:


We have begun processing your application for permanent residence, and in order to make a decision we require the following information/documents:
1XXXXXXXX0 - My Name:
MILITARY RECORDS -EXXXXXXXX0
Military Records: You have identified previous service in the military. Please complete the attached form and provide a copy of your military booklet. If you were exempt, please provide official proof of military exemption from the relevant authority. This must be received at this office by:
This must be received at this office by: 2017/07/31


Don't really understand what they mean. And there is no attached document to fill.
Are they referring to my NYSC (maybe I mistakenly put it as military service)? And would my NYSC certificate fly?

Thanks

Hmmm you must have mistakenly put yes instead of not applicable at the military question inthink it's under personal history. I almost made that same mistake

Finally guys, I got my IELTS results at BC office today and unfortunately nothing to celebrate at all after 2 attempts. I'm really really deflated right now but I'll keep pushing.

1st Attempt 3/11/16: LRSW 8.5, 6.5, 8.5, 7.5
2nd Attempt 8/07/17: LRSW 8, 6.5, 8, 7.5

Oh dear! What are you going to do now? It's reading and comprehension ( I'm suspecting those T, F &NG questions)
Will you do it 1 more time or go PNP route.?
Pele my brother. It is well.

Hello people! i've been a silent follower of this thread for sometime now! I decided to rebuke the anti-social spirit in me and finally say hello!!! i started my canadian journey in april and got ITA in june. i have not submitted my application because CIC has decided to punish people that cannot seat their bum in their country Im in the process of getting pcc from different countries including the dreaded FBI thats what is actually keeping me from submitting.

I really want to appreciate everyone that takes time to answer questions here and even the ones bold enough to ask! You guys are doing a great job here! Hopefully i will be more active here and give back too!

May you all have a beautifully blessed day/week and may PPR fall on you all soon!

Lol welcome to the club.. Make yourself comfortable.

Algbenguze:


Thanks guys, I appreciate.
I did my IELTS in Abuja and I intend 'storming' their office here on Monday whether they attend to people or not. Anything short of getting my result, they will hear long sermon that day. I heard they notify via email if they intend to hold ur result for extra checks which they randomly do. Up until now, no result, no email, nothing. That test has taken away abt 4-5 nights of sleep from my eyes so far not to mention 1 or 2 bad dreams because I know I ran out of time the Reading aspect, leaving 2 questions unanswered when my answer sheet was collected. In addition, it was my 2nd attempt. I'm trying to be calm but e no easy mehn.
Anyway... whoever is chooking hand in this matter will hear from God loud and clear.

Amen!

Yooku:


Google na your best friend now

Google is 'bae' as they say... lol

Ajujuju2:


Fill the change of address form and mail to them if you still wish to change.

Thank you my dear sis. I've emailed and faxed the new address.

taiwofola:


I believe British Council (Lagos office) issues IELTS results on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8am and 12 noon. ( I am not very sure about this.)

Before going on Tuesday, I suggest you should confirm that you would be attended to.

It's actually
Friday 8 am till 12:00pm
Monday n Tuesday 8am : 3:00pm

Feygbe:
I have applied for FBI report for about 7 weeks now, but the fingerprints I took at Alagbon gives me cause for concern. The officer didn't use finesse at all. Whew! I pray they are usable because I can't wait for e-APR.

Hmmm this FBI issue is a concern for me too. Finger prints card was delivered 9th of May. Imagine that!

calfy:


This is completely false. Fidelism is more than qualified for EE. EE is no longer scored using the old system. The new system uses the CRS point calculator and Fidelism's score is 388.

False? I guess you need to read up some more and then comment before you lead someone astray.

Click on the link and look at the date it was modified below.
When we say read, it's for a reason.

Algbenguze:
Guys, please o, I still can't view my IELTS results for 8th July. I've crosschecked all my details (DOB, Candidate No, PP No) several times and still telling me Results Not Found.
Please what can I do abeg. I can't shout o as it's my 2nd attempt.

You need to relax ( easier said than done) then go to British council on Tuesday and collect your TRF.

Some people sha! Lol

fidelism:


Provide second eye pls
Age 30
Single
Education Msc
Experience 1 year
Ielts LRWS 6.5/7.5/7/7

With your IELTS score, your CRS based on the info you provided above is 388 if you get an 8 in your Listening your CRS will be 439.
It's up to you though unless you're in the IT field and hoping for Ontario to nominate you.
All the best.

fidelism:


Provide second eye pls
Age 30
Single
Education Msc
Experience 1 year
Ielts LRWS 6.5/7.5/7/7

I think the 6.5 negates it. I'm of the opinion that to qualify for EE you must get at least a 7 in all components (open to corrections)
You may have to retake your IELTS and aim for an 8 in all components.

elfmann:

Yea..my pal is at 390! Nothing yet. Any lull in their invitation?

Elfman please what's your timeline?

britiko:


Please, did you use your nigerian or usa address under the applicant home address section on the FBI pcc form?

I used my home address (Nigerian) then I used a Canadian address for delivery although I now wish I used a US address but the key to this PR game is patience.

jelmusboy:
HELP ME PLS

You can only get help if people are knowlegable about your question. My advice is to Google and research as much as you can as opposed to waiting for an answer ON NL.
Goodluck.

Gbengz23:




I also want to apply for UK PCC. Would i be able to pay with my Gtb dollar card,or do i need a contact in uk to pay through a uk account?
Thanks.

Hmmm I think you should be fine with your dollar card. I used my Santander uk card but I guess you should be fine with your GT card.
All the best.

funshobabs:
Thank you very much for this info. Does the bank statement have to carry current add?

Yes it does.

funshobabs:
Thanks very much. Pls how long did the entire process take. I can provide most of the documents except for the proof of add and I can't even remember my NI number.

Pls if you have any additional info that can help.

Thanks and God bless.

It takes 2 weeks or there about
I submitted 2 statements from different banks for hubby and I, passport photograph, passport page. I didn't submit NI card or DL (didn't want to overdo.) I put my marriage cert as additional docs because I claim to bear another name though my I still bear my maiden name on my documents including my passport.
Keep it simple.

Thank you.

bighead2:
You can use studio 24 at Allen, Ikeja. they are used to the specs for Canadian Express Entry

Thank you.

MummyJaygirls:


IELTS is compulsory, but may not need to get 8777, ECA is the one that isn't

How did you come about that ma? Quite a few people have gotten ITA and successful COPRs without spouse's IELTS or ECA. Spouses only do it to boost scores.

GlitteringStar:


Baniks studio on opebi road, Ikeja (they share the building with NETT pharmacy)

Thank you @GlitteringStar. You're the best!

Biko I'm tired of searching the thread. Please can someone help me with the studio where I can take passport photograph. I think it was Opebi someone wrote the other day....
Please

Saintp:


Thanks
On a second thought, is there anything wrong if the man applies and go alone without the family? Will it affect the chances since the man will fill married in his profile?
I'm looking at it because the cost and POF is easier for one person than when you add wife and 2 young kids. If the man succeed then he can bring his family to Canada through other means like family sponsorship. Does it make sense? Is there any chance of success.

My Ogas make una help me reason am. I want to weigh my options.

POF and I think Medicals for the whole family is required even if they are not accompanying you.
So it's really up to you for them to go or not

deeore:
Wow wow wow.. @40manlappy i told u ur ppr was hours away... @Mummyjaygirls watchout..
Congratulations guyz... May God continue this shower of ppr...choi...i seriously need am...
Congrats once again.. @bbaby84 see u in oakville by Gods grace thats my destination

By God's grace! Amen! Please keep in touch.

impish:
Thank you bbaby84. Lol! Glad you could "feel my feelings". Heehee. I hear that Ontario is lovely. Oakville is a lovely suburb in the GTA, I believe. We may just wind up living near there. We are looking at Mississauga, if Mr. O finds work in Toronto.

All the best in your PPR wait, it is round the corner by God's grace. Please drop in from time to time on the blog, and leave a comment too

Mississauga is great too! I literally slept in square one mall. Have fun!
I'll drop in from time to time.

nkigirl:
Hello Everyone.

1) Regarding the FBI PCC, for those of us who live in PH and not Lagos, can we get our fingerprints taken either by a fingerprinting technician at any of the police stations or FRSC or Immigration offices in PHC or is it compulsory that we must go to Alagbon Ikoyi?

A lot of us are working and can't take time off just for this and it's honestly too expensive to fly for this.

2) Regarding the Nigerian PCC, is it also compulsory that it must be done in Alagbon, Ikoyi?

Please if you live outside Lagos, and you have done any of the above elsewhere aside from Alagbon, please advise.

Thanks!

Number 1 is fine. You don't have to come to Alagbon to do it.

A big congratulations on your PPR guys! Happy COPR and happy landing @drhopeful @40manlappy @merrymum A.K.A Merrilicious mom and @Gquest.

impish:
Hi All,

Glad to have found this thread.

My family and I will be relocating to Canada (Ontario) next month. We are very excited about our upcoming move.

I started a blog - mycanadianfling - on our journey through this process. I am also including some information on how to get started on this Canadian Immigration process. Please feel free to check it out and send me your comments. .

Thank you all.....

Mrs. O.

What a nice read Mrs. O.... I literally felt your emotions lol... Ontario is a beautiful place! Can be expensive though but totally worth it!
I hope to meet you next year when we come as PRs (IJN) we'll most likely be staying in Oakville for a while..

Happy settling..

MummyJaygirls:
