Maggiespecial:
Hello good evening
Please I am trying to create a PNP profile on Saskatchewan platform
I got to a point where they requested for Job seeker validation code

I didn't receive that

Though in my previous profile in 2019, I got the code for job seeker (but the profile has expired)
So I created a new one in February and I entered pool in February this year, but I didn't receive the code

Please what should I do?
Kindly advise

Thank you

Check through letter/PDF you got welcoming you to the pool. Your EE profile number and jobseeker validation code should be there.

no arguing with you again bro. You clearly are mixing things up or imagining things. Show me where the bolded is stated because it like na another express entry i apply o, because I listed my bsc and 3 other certifications in personal history meanwhile my eca had only bsc and ican aat. You should start reading this thread from part 1. Its people like you that will provide 10 job references instead of providing one or two that have met the 3 years maximum. I cant deal bro lol

In the checklist for education document. It's stated that you MUST PROVIDE proof for all post secondary education. Examples of education include any diploma or degrees. I provided proof for my first degree and other post graduate degrees. Even though I only have ECA for my highest degree.

If you read page 1 very well, one is advised to even upload copy of ECA and IELTS together with all the post secondary school documents.

Do as you please. Provide everything you have including report cards and CV. Wetin be my own lol

I think if you take time to re-read you’ll see where you’re mixing things up. Ednut has gotten ppr and landed. Gracious and myself have crossed this hurdle and awaiting ppr. So atleast read the advise given, go back and cross check with ircc website and if after everything you’re not convinced still, then carry on as you please.

You do not need to input spouse work history in the WE section, only in personal history. You can include spouse education +ECA+IELTS if claiming points for it. You only include work experience that you the applicant are claiming points/gotten reference letter for in the WE section. All other WE not claimed can go in personal history. Same applies for education. If you do eca for masters only, upload eca, msc and ielts in the provided box. All other studies go in personal history. Don’t stress or confuse yourself or VO.

See red.

Your application will probably be ok, I believe.

For people coming behind to have the right information..... IRCC has given us checklists to use ......staing exactly what docs are needed, why they are needed and who should provide.

Very useful info being shared on NL, WhatsApp and Telegram...but always cross-check with IRCC webpages.

The non canadian work experience for spouse was in a separate section, in the column for just the spouse. After one said No, to spouse Canadian work experience, you still meet this section. I saw it. I had to crosscheck again and again when i noticed document checklist needed spouse WRL, while I had the notion I wont be asked. I did lots of research on NL and cadavisa and it's majorly that they won't ask me for it. Finally, I had to upload spouse WRL since it is in the checklist and I neither picked nor have score for spouse Canada work experience.

I felt i should alert new applicant hence my originating post cos my concern is, if spouse foreign work experience is not important, why put it there again?

About IRCC checklist, I got talking with someone whose application was refused cos he didn't upload his ECA document, meanwhile it is not in any IRCC checklist for it to be uploaded. What they said is, it may be requested later on. So when you see issues like this, one won't want to leave any stone unturned.

The question you asked about source of info, it is from document checklist. See my reply in above post.

I dont even know what to say again, lol. Your point is well understood though. Thanks

Thanks, I have actually submitted weeks before now. I only wanted to give heads up to new applicants cos I thought there is a change. But obviously the elders here are saying I should not have put anything in spouse foreign work experience even though it was asked and that it is only ECA and certificate for degree ECA was done that should have been uploaded rather than all post secondary as requested in document checklist. This is in order not to confuse amateur visa officer. Points noted.

It is okay.

elyurich:

I did, I submitted on 4th of May. Picked up my passport today from DHL. My profile wasn't updated until my passports was on its way back, so don't worry if you are not getting notifications.

Please did you get a notification from VFS or DHL to pick up your package? Can you share your timelines because I submitted since April 26th to VFS Lagos and have still not heard anything back since I heard it got to IRCC GHANA on May 24th

I think I understand the initial poster's concerns and they are valid to be honest. IRCC does requests those info and through people's experiences over the years, many now know how to circumvent this situation. I also didn't know about omitting spouse's education and work even though I wasn't claiming points for them. So I actually uploaded spouse's degree cert in the place holder for education and employment letter in place of RL, then I believe my LOE stated that we don't have an ECA and RL for accompanying spouse because I wasn't claiming points..and my Eligibility was passed without ADR. Now, that's my own personal experience.

Dimple10:


They will be alright las las

As stated above, it's not a new development. I went that route too as I wasn't following this thread then so I think many people who are not privy to the info and experiences here will also go that route, which isn't exactly a deal breaker but an added stress you could've done away with.

EsoEso:

This is very bad for ITAs hopefuls. Since different provinces are sending out PNPs due to their job demands, they would have just left the FSW to take its original course. As painful as it is to say, I would suggest ITAs hopefuls like myself to start gearing up for plan B's, especially if your NOC may not be in demand

Plan B can be French as in TEF/TCF, they do have French targets outside Quebec to meet and there are talks of only French draws. I know it's a hard and expensive route to take, but it is an advantageous one. If you think you can do it, just start.

The bill might still go through some modifications, so until it's passed, no one truly knows.
Keep hope alive!

Morning fam,

Please, I need help with format for authority letter for child to travel from biological mother. How best do I go about it.

Thank you.

Greetings Gracious Words
Please I have an inquiry. I submitted an EOI (MPNP) but wish to change my NOC but it doesn't show anymore in my profile pages.. is there a way to go about it or am I stuck with the wrong NOC.. Thanks in advance.

Abeg IRCC let us all get ITAs before this bill sails through. I don’t know why they want to stress us further.


How many days to July 6 again?

This is just healthy banter and hopefully for the benefit of those who have not submitted their IELTS and ECA.

The ECA point you make about checklist not asking for scan of ECA report is right. However, the Immigration Act actually asks for the ECA and IELTS reports to be provided not just reference number, this point was clarified in FAQ 45.

It remains to be seen how their courts will adjudicate the matter in a judicial review if an application was rejected due to missing ECA because the applicant was following the checklist only.

Will the judge side with the applicant based on this or refer the applicant to the Immigration Act which IRCC provided access to by telling us how they assess applications against R75 (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/economic-classes/federal-skilled-workers/assessing-applications-against-minimum-requirements.html)?

I don't know, as we haven't seen a judicial case on this matter...also the upload instructions for Education do not explicitly state ECA and IELTS. Someone needs to take them to court for us to be certain (like they did for Law degrees, WES and professional degree points).

Based on that I see where you are coming from regarding spouse ECA and WE.......you are scared of see a rejection for something they didn't ask for but eventually claim they needed, which is fair.....I just might need to see a therapist after going through EE.....

No idea, sorry. Why not contact MPNP directly. I think your EE profile and PNP EOI have to be in sync i.e. same Primary NOC

17 Days till July!

Morning great people,
Is a CRS of 453 good enough to be in the pool?

Redkay:

Please did you get a notification from VFS or DHL to pick up your package? Can you share your timelines because I submitted since April 26th to VFS Lagos and have still not heard anything back since I heard it got to IRCC GHANA on May 24th

Q1-Yes, I got notifications about the movement of my passport, from Accra VO to IRCC and back, but I did not get notificationsaboyt counterfoils etc in my IRCC Profile uuntil a day before my passport got returned to Lagos.
In terms of timeline, submitted May 4 (DHL) Dispatched to VFS May same day, left Lagos to Accra VO May 5, got to VO May 24, processed May 25, returned to Accra VO June 2nd, got to Lagos June 9.
Q2.- I got notification that it had gotten to Lagos VFS but given that I paid for a 2 way delivery, I called dhl and was told it was at their Lekki Center so I went there to pick it up.
Use your vfs teacking number to track the movement on the vfs Lagos website or call their number and give your tracking number for updates.

Good to know your credibility was passed with ADR. I honestly wish to know why IRCC will put that section there even when applicant can not claim points. With the subjectivity level of VO, anything is possible.

Yeah very healthy banter indeed and worth the time. It is motivating to know that you could now view the concern from my Prism.

The Guy's case I mentioned, his was actually returned as incomplete application cos he didn't upload scan copy of ECA. Unfortunately, all his pleas and ECA uploads via web forms were not considered.

He did not even get to know his VO, his application was returned under a month. When he was not getting any feedback from IRCC, a new EE profile was created. He went ahead and complained to the province that issued him nomination, they told him they won't link the nomination to his new profile.

In the long he has taken it in his stride. He was not inclined to try a judicial review, even though he has a very strong case.

Indeed VO decision can be very subjective so it makes treatment of file case specific especially on issues with gray areas. That's why I didn't want to take any chances and err on the side of caution, rather be hyper than deficit . Thankfully, testimonies abound on both sides so we keep hope alive and wait it out.

After scaling EE application, reinvigoration is necessary

Good day everyone. My wife has a BSc degree in Computer science and a BCS level 4 certificate in IT. For WES evaluation, is it possible to evaluate both the bachelor's degree and the certificate as "two or more degrees" or we should evaluate her University degree alone?

If it is possible to evaluate both qualifications, how do we go about it? Do we add both qualifications in a single WES application. Any form of advice will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi guys, please I am a bit rusty with this process but my brother is trying to create a profile for credential assessment with IQAS but the site says the Nigerian Law School is not a recognized institution. I believe they used to issue Masters verdict for the LLB before, has that changed? or did we do something wrong? Your directions would be highly appreciated

Guys please i have a question …
When two divorcees get married and they both have children from former marriages how can they go about the PR process.
The woman has done her WES and ielts and everything and it’s in her former husband’s name …
Her surname is like jay-paul … With Jay being her own father’s name and Paul being the former husband’s name.
Now she’s about to get married to a DIVORCEE… can the marriage certificate suffice? because she cannot do a change of name now seeing that her WES and IELTS and TEF is in the Jay-paul name… can she carry on with that name even though now married to someone else and they intend to do PR together..
They have 5 kids between them… 3 from the man in his previous marriage and 2 from her from her previous marriage …
The lady was already processing her relocation… she has TEF and WES and IELTS
The intend to get married in two months time and enter the pool together as a family of 7.
My question is - Will the marriage certificate suffice since she cannot change her name again…
Both of them will submit divorce papers and custody papers as well..

Yes it will suffice, no need for name change unless she wants to. as long as there is evidence of divorce and marriage, all is well .

Yes both are equivalent to two or more certificates. You’ll include both under one wes application/profile

Was it law school that issued the LLB OR a university? Use the name of the school not NLS

Please, does this mean that ECA has to be submitted after ITA, even if no space is provided for it?

If yes, under what section should it be uploaded?

There is no need for a name change to complicate matters. She should go on with her Jay-Paul name. She should submit both their divorce certificates and new marriage certificates to show they are married. That’s all. Also if they intend to go with the kids from the previous marriages, they need consent from the other parents of the children. Wish them all the best.

Many thanks,

Trying to draft one now..... could not use the interactive tool because I don't have the latest adobe installed.

Strange request since the child is not accompanying and consent provided now may not be valid in many years time. Try these templates though. https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/children/consent-letter
