Hi guys,

After my issued PPR, and with my VO being Ottawa:

1. Can I send to any Visa office for my COPR to be issued or must it be Ottawa.
2. Do I go straight to DHL to transmit the documents to the designated Visa office.

I need help with the process. My location is Abuja.

That's why Africa will never move forward. I once asked someone how she managed to immigrate to Toronto, and guess what she told me? 'Go to IRCC website, download the form and apply'.

Hello guys

I intend to use my NYSC experience in applying for PR via express entry. The problem is I do not have any pay records of either the federal allowance or the allowance I received from the state government. My PPA was a state government school. Will having only a reference letter be sufficient?

Please share your thoughts and experiences

There are two ways to this. When I started my I application I mentioned it to an aunt of mine. I later heard rumors of my cousin saying I am not forthcoming with information on relocation to Canada. I reached out to him and asked him if we had ever discussed about Canada warranting such statement. I also reminded him that I have never been to canada but in case he is interested he needs to start by writing IELTS, evaluating his results, creating a profile on express entry. I basically told him all I did. Till date he has not even done the most basic (evaluation of result).

On the other hand, there are some people who are go-getters and work on information at their disposal while some are lazy and will want you to do everything for them

I agree with you on the above, simple research will give information and that’s what led everyone to nairaland. If anyone just sat around waiting for answers without putting the efforts well of course agents will help out at a huge sum.

Hmmmm, its really fraustrating.. I feel ur pain. The hope of crs point dropping to 480 even if ircc decide to do fsw draw today is not visible.
Why dont you look at the option of TEF. Its nt easy thou.. or u take another ielts and wait a little more till score reduces after 2-3 draws. Just worried on your behalf. Can you check for possible PNP's? It is well with all of us oo

At the bold, why do you think it is not feasible?

Some Nigerians are funny, she will be shocked to hear you are in Canada. That's why I really appreciate this thread, where we can get the help we need (I've been a silent reader).
My sister who lives in Canada told me Brampton, Ontario is dominated by Indians. My point is, you see Indians helping each other migrate, but why can't we do the same? This 'I no want my neighbor progress pass me' attitude, I wonder where it would take us to. Smh

Ignore that person, typical Nigerian mentality just because he has a crs score of above 480 he wants to dash the hope of others with lower crs scores. The last crs cut-off for FSW which was in December 2020 was 468, so what that dude is insinuating is that when FSW resumes the crs cut off will be 480 something, just imagine!

Thanks for such a detailed response. I just submitted my package to UPS in Abuja to deliver to the VFS in Abuja. I didn't pay any fee aside the courier sum. Do you have any idea on how I could ascertain the actual transmission fee to be paid to the VFS in Abuja. For added info, I did my biometrics in Abuja.

Depending on the Statistics of scores in the pool right now and due to lack of general draws for 11 months now and depending on the number of people they’re going to invite per draw , the first general draw will surely be a crs score of above 480.

Madam, I am not IRCC neither did I say I was in my previous post. Last year there were no draws for several months , look at the first general draw points , the stats of candidates in the pool and how the draw points gradually dropped after pulling out the high numbers from the first four draws.
We can educate ourselves by simply looking at the statistics of candidates in the pool after every ministerial instruction declaring a draw , that way we all have an idea of what it’ll look like, it’s not bad belle or rocket science, I’m in the 460’s range and I like to be realistic even though a miracle can happen.

You’ll have to go on the vfs website, book an appointment for the biometrics and attend the appointment in person on the date and time you choose. Check the letter sent to you for locations close to you
