Please how much will it cost me to do a Police Clearance Certificate for someone in the US? He has sent me all the required documents and fingerprint. A Police link at Alagbon is telling me 20k. Is this a fair price?

Jaymamma:
Regarding POF, Access Bank is refusing to state the full IRCC requirements on the bank reference letter.

The bank reference letter only contains:
1) name of account holder
2) account opening date


While the statement of account contains:

1) Account number
2) Opening Balance
3) Closing Balance
4) Total withdrawals
5) Total Lodgement
6) Cleared balance
7) Uncleared Balance


All these are stated at the upper part of the SOA.

*Please note that neither the SOA nor Reference letter contains the Average balance of 6 months.*


Is this acceptable please?


Kindly help peruse this, seniors in the house.

I need your advice concerning proof of work experience.
I already have my letters from my previous places of work which make up over 3 years of experience. However, for the past almost 2 years, I haven't gotten any serious full-time job. I have been into many things: irregular hours on different activities which are mainly cash-on-hand transactions, and the present job descriptions are totally unrelated to the NOC for my previous jobs for which I have letters of experience.

Is it safe to put unemployed for the past 2 years in personal history? Or I should just cook up something(maybe, say business).

In a case like this where I am not going to submit any letter of experience for a current job(I have letters from previous jobs), is a LOE necessary to explain why?

Yungblood87:


It doesn't o. It only has;

Full name and address
Account number
Opening balance
Total debit
Total credit
Closing balance
Period date

Hello Guys, Please I have a question with respect to a gift deed.

I did a gift deed with my mum. We typed it on an A4 letter. she signed and I signed and had 2 witnesses sign.

My questions:

1. My dad and brother signed as the witnesses (Is this allowed since they are relatives)
2. We had a lawyer to stamp it and signed and he also used his Nigerian Bar Association stuff stamp on it. (Is this sufficient/ Is this the right way to do it).
3. His NBA stamp license states March 2019 expiry...Is this a problem considering the deed was done in January when it was still valid.

Please, your kind response will be appreciated. Ive read the threads from Part 4 to date but can't find answers to this. Thanks all

Hi guys,

Need your quick help please.

Went to zenith bank to get proof of funds.

All I was given was 6 months bank statement and letter of indebtedness.

My two issues are this;
1) the 6 month bank statement has only the first and last page stamped (its about 16 pages long)
2) the letter of indebtedness did not contain the following;
- account number
- the date the account was opened
- the current balance of the account
- the average balance for the past six months

Now I raised this with my account officer and he said this is all the documents I need.

Are the document as they are sufficient? What should I do?

nice2:
Hmm...thanks. i've been using Jays technique for both writing and speaking. Even got a paid teacher to assess my essay. I use complex sentences and linking words in my essay. Dont know what to believe anymore. But as you advised, i will give your option a trial too. Thanks.

raphrulz:
Please, research well before you dish out advices.

This is not correct pls!

Apply from USA, yes if your points are enough with your Nigerian MSc

You are given to land before your medicals expire. You can do a soft landing and go back to US to finish your 2nd MSc.

As long as you were paid, you can add the work experience. The date you became qualified is the date you graduated from your BSc.

Hello house good evening. I have been following this page on nairaland as a guest but today I decided to register so I can ask my questions.

Firstly, i have written the ielts exam three times but I haven't been able to score up to 7 in writing. However, i am not giving up and i hope to try again.

But the situation is different this time around, I got a student visa into the US in August and i am currently doing my second masters program.

My first masters degree was in Nigeria and that was what I wanted to use for the Express entry before ielts became a stumbling block.

I am currently enjoying study in the US but this Canadian PR is a dream and i am planning to write the ielts here early next year and apply from here.

Can I apply for the PR as an international student?
Also, I heard you are given one year from the date of your PR to arrive in Canada and from observation it takes around 6-12 months to get your PR. That's approximately 2 years which is the same duration for my current program. In addition, there are a number of schools in Canada offering my program, so i believe i can get admission and transfer after my PR.

Secondly, i worked about 2 years before my first msc, it was supposed to be an unpaid internship but my employer ended up paying me some money monthly to cover the cost of my transportation. With that, my work experience will be three years but without it, it will be one year and 6 months. Is it safe to include it as part of my experience?

FirstTImeUser:
Inspiring story I must say.congratulations

My ita is also about to expire because I am yet to get my pof.

How many days between the day money landed in your account and AOR?

thanks in anticipation of your answer.

Treasure1611:
Very big Congratulations!!!!!!!
Please how did you know your visa office.

intswagga:

This is the first time I would say this CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Your EMOTIONAL STRENGTH & DETERMINATION IS ADMIRABLE

P.s. how did u go around the work experience stuff?

maternal:


I know. It's shocking when these western countries have and enforce their strict immigration laws. People in Nigeria don't realize this before they leave. Either way that's why I was saying focus on getting Canadian papers first.

maternal:


Perhaps you should get the PR first. But when you land you'll be legal and no home office will be after you. So it wouldn't take long for you to adjust and a lot of money wouldn't be loss on lawyer fees. But to answer your questions:

1. Depends on your objective

2. No

3. The federal and provincial govt have support systems. Depends where you want to settle.

nairalandnewbie:
this cic ehn ive tried calling them severally i never get thru

ontarioissauga:

Call IRCC agent.

raphrulz:
U think?? u don't remember your AOR?

ontarioissauga:

I meant when your AOR was.

ontarioissauga:

AOR? That thought isn't any more true. You might be lucky to have it in no time but nothing is given where IRCC is involved.

freshjayy:
Please who has inspector MOshood’s number and what is the process for the police clearance plus what documents do I need. Thanks

ChandlerBing:
I also wish this would happen more. Frankly, it's just on this thread that people announce only when there's PPR. Or when they are stuck on a process pre PPR. While we enjoy reading those, giving small updates wouldn't hurt.
It gives people with similar timelines a reference point.


That being said, last time I posted that I called IRCC and was told my criminality was in progress, 2 weeks ago or so, I called again and criminality has been passed. I plan on calling this week as well.
