Let your wife and you open different EE profiles. Your EE profile could get you PNP especially Ontario. Try to max out your ietls scores.

Your wife's age is sweet, she can also be the PA, let her try to max out ielts, then write an additional qualification exam (CIMA, BCS IT etc) to get two or more certs, she can also learn French for TEF scores, then add your ECA and ielts to boost her scores.

If either of you get ITA first, the other partner would withdraw the EE profile or revoke the GC key. That way you improve your chances and don't lose out on both sides. Couples have tried this in the past and gotten PPR.

My people, I am back with the full PPR gist…Warning: very long read ahead o cheesy


Waiting Period:
This was hellish, I was constantly checking my profile. I also set up tent with coke and popcorn on canadavisa and nairaland threads. [/b]Instead of helping, it was increasing my anxiety so tey I no fit sleep. I needed a distraction so I bit the bullet and registered for PMP since my manager had kukuma been pushing me to do it. So for 3 months, I was completely focused on preparing for the PMP exam, thankfully I passed! [b]Then I resumed my unpaid job on canadavisa and nairaland lol. I also joined the Jan AOR group for support (best.family.ever!)

So finally, this journey has come to a successful end. Big shout-out to my Jan AOR peeps who were super encouraging and everyone on this thread who took out time to answer my questions or provide reassurance. God bless you all! kiss I pray everyone on his journey will rejoice like this too soon. Cheers!

First, CIC agents who answer calls are not VOs or even the case analysts who review your application and provide recommendation. VOs make the final decisions and weighs the evidence of each case. Each case is different.

Post-AOR, don't be calling CIC like that to get advice on grey areas or what to do. They're not your friend or fellow applicants, they work for the government, not you. Also every call you make and the details are recorded in your gcms notes. The last thing you want to see is @bold recorded in your notes, that would raise the VO's suspicion. Raise your concerns here or your AOR groups. Or better still, tweet at IRCC. And your case is not peculiar, so don't worry, provide the alternative docs as proof. Also remember to check page 1 and the search thread regularly. All the best.

And to this great Nairaland thread, I owe a great part of this success to you.

For those new on this journey, I know it has been said over and over but I’m going to repeat it again – Nothing beats reading and researching for this life-changing journey. This thread especially is a goldmine of information and some altruistic seniors (May God bless them!) further took their time to carefully sort the information. Please study it. This piece of advice could make or mar the success of one’s application. And to those still waiting, hang on – the end is near. Delay is not denial !

@bold I'm sorry, did CIC send a new memo? Where did all these speculations come from? What exactly are the statistics? Please let the VOs do their jobs and allow us who were paid in cash collect our PPR in peace. It's not in your place to begin to guesstimate on people's applications like this. The wait is tiring and painful enough That's why there's background checks. We're not the first and won't be the last to recieve cash yet get PPR.

Tina26:
won't be surprised if visa officers start to reject it. Because many people have forged work experience and claim to be paid in cash. Wes introduced verification due to fake transcript . They also introduced waec and people still send fake waec to wes only for waec to spot it during verification. When people decide to cut corners innocent people would suffer. For those earning cash try and deposit all or part of in the bank, get your employer to register for paye or pensions too. I know someone who forged 5 months experience and claimed to be paid in cash and was later rejected

Prettiepearlz:

I won’t be surprised too, Nigerians are extra in everything! I would rather be in the pool and be hoping to get a NOI from a province or wait till the scores comes down than cut corners. Nigeria is not that bad to make me want to get a bad reputation. And why would some employers pay in cash though when we have banks scattered all over the country?

Yes. But what is your profile? You need to simulate your CRS scores and see how it matches with the latest draws. If the MA in DE would give you more points, finish it and use it. If not, go ahead with only your Nigerian qualification and experience. If you get PPR before you finish your MA, tell them Tschuss and go to your new country grin

I would also advise to keep in mind that the CV you submitted for your German visa application should align with your EE profile, to be safe. If your file gets transferred to Vienna VO, they can easily access your records within the EU Dbase.

If you do not trust your HR to provide the reference letter, how can you trust them to confirm your work duties, if CIC decide to call/mail them for your job verifications?

It is a good idea to provide proof of your HR/employer's inability or unwillingness to provide the reference letter (email, chats etc). There have been cases in the past where applicants have been refused and banned because they went deliberately went over HR's head to get reference letter from their colleague and CIC called HR to confirm, which they denied. Applicant was banned and lost his job. You need to be careful, especially if your organisation is a big one or a public institution, you might not be the only one who have applied for PPR. So if your former colleagues whom you might not know of, went through HR for the letter and the VO sees your application from that same organisation, you don't expect them to just accept your letter from a colleague, they would call HR to confirm. These VOs are smart.

In short, only use colleague notarized letter ref letter for work experience if you can convince the VO beyond reasonable doubts that efforts to get it from HR/employer failed.

I really wish I don’t have to go to my HR. The Nigerian in me don’t trust our Nigerian hR. grin

What stage of the EE journey are you? If its pre-ITA, yes you can. There are stories of people who adopted pre-ITA and got PPR. For fear of being banned again, I won't post the link here. Check page one, under FAQs, you would see the point Adding an adopted family member: here, check the links.

If you're post-AOR, and you add an adopted child, your file would be transferred to Accra and you and your adopted child would be requested for an interview in separate rooms. There was a PPR story shared some time ago on my AOR whatsapp group (I am not sure if it was originally shared here or somewhere else) but AVO was not convinced of the parent-adopted child relationship during interview, so the PA jejely requested for the child to be left out of the application and got PPR. So if you're ready to risk it, go ahead post-ITA
Phoco:
Hello house. I have a couple of questions. has anyone successfully migrated with an adopted child,possible a child that has lived with you for a long time? How long did it take ? What documents were presented to proof the authenticity of the adoption ? Did it in anyway cause a delay in processing time . Please i would like to determine if i should go ahead with mine or abort plans . Thank you.

I wrote in Frankfurt and got great scores LRSW: 8.5, 8.5, 8, 8. Your examiner would be British. You should not worry about accents because even Germans struggle seriously in speaking with their accents just like Nigerians struggle with writing in ielts. The ietls national average score for speaking is low in Germany. So just be prepared, confident and fluent, as a native speaker, you have that advantage.

You need to step-up your writing game because generally Germans write English better than they speak so I think the standards might be higher for the writing module.

Prep for listening and speaking, normally. The GT exam is simpler but trickier than academic and the scoring is higher, so keep that in mind. All the best.

Hello all. Silent reader here. Please which is the fastest credential evaluation body? WES, IQAS, ICAS? I am a lawyer with a Master's in Law from a Dutch university and I will be submitting only the Master's for evaluation (I don't have the stamina for Naija institutions).

Also, does anybody have good experience (read: good grades) writing the IELTS General in Germany? I wrote the Academic in 2015 in Dortmund and my scores weren't great (L - 7.5, W - 6.5, R - 7, S - 7). To be fair though, I didn't prepare/study for that test AT ALL. I just went in with the mentality that I am a native speaker and was thoroughly humbled by the test. Should I wait and write IELTS when I'm in Nigeria in a couple of months, or brave Europeans and their misunderstanding of African accents and write the test in Germany/Netherlands/Belgium? I'm in my 30's so I need to max the scores. Thanks

Good morning house. I have been going through this thread for a while now. There are so many questions I would like to ask but start from the basics. Between ICES and WES, which is faster for ECA?

Secondly, I'm a banker and also a web developer/digital marketer managing social media ads for a private company here in Nigeria. I receive monthly pay from the company as well as from my regular job.

Questions
•Is there any advantage getting reference from both firms?
•If yes, will it raise eyebrows? And if No, will I have any advantage applying as an IT person as against banking?

My apologies for the numerous questions

Great that you requested gcms. Now the RR issue is now clearer. Do not be worried at all. For eligibility, you need 67pts and you're above that at 70pts, even higher than mine, 68. So you're good to go.

Another good thing is both job references are in your primary NOC and the JD as a Foreign project analyst matches your NOC. Had it been they were different NOCs and the JD as a Foreign Consultant which the officer has issues with is your primary NOC, I would have been really worried for you. But now, you're good.

The other good thing is you have 4 years experience as a Foreign project analyst, which means even if your work experience as a Foreign consultant which is the problematic one here is cancelled, you still have maximum points for work experience and your CRS scores will remain the same so go and relax and wait patiently for your PPR.

Had it been that the only work experience you submitted was as an FC which currently is a NOC mismatch, the appropriate response would have been for your HR to revise your reference letter, if indeed your duties correlates with the NOC. But in your case your FPA JD is good, it's in your primary NOC and still sufficient for your CRS scores. So taking that HR action is unnecessary.

So relax, what the VO would do if unsatisfied with the FC JD is to cancel it and use the FPA to recalculate your scores. There is a lady in May with this issue that got PPR. VO rejected one of her NOCs and recalculated her scores but because her overall CRS scores was still above the CRS draw score she got ITA with, she still got PPR. I won't post the link here because anti-spam bot has been overly sensitive banning my account anyhow grin But if you pm me, I can send her story to you.
psalmizt:


Hello everyone,

It has been quite a while. So I got my notes yesterday and mehn the thing is turnioniown. Anyways, turns out the RR was cos of my reference letter. I am yet to figure out a way out of this matter ooo.

A little background to my work history, so I have like 7years work experience in my primary NOC and somehow the issue is with the job duties of my first 3years. Owing to this, the case analyst adjusted my selection factor score from 72 to 70. The gurus in GCMS notes should help confirm if my interpretation is correct.

I dont think HR revising my reference is an appropriate response here. More so my HR won't change what's on file. Sadly the roles stated in the file is slightly different from actual job done. Still unsure of the best approach to this.
