I'm starting my canada immigration process with an Agency called Greenlight immigration. Please I want advice to know my chances. They said my best option is to immigrant to Canada via Work visa. Does anybody know about this agency and it they are to be trusted? And also how long does it take for everything to pull through? Please I need as much response as possible. Thanks

Let’s face it, the entire blame lies with the government and its policy makers. It’s generally not in humans to be nice or altruistic, especially on economic matters. Most people would try to exploit any deficits in a government’s policy or try to use them to their advantage. This has bred different techniques of paying less taxes or exploiting crude exchange rate policies. I’m sure even you will find yourself looking for a few holes once you get the Canada. If there’s an economic hole somewhere, best believe someone will try to exploit it. This has been studied severally in economics and is known as the efficient market hypothesis. Nigerians don’t owe the government altruism when it comes to the exchange rate which is a purely economic reality. Nigerians only owe the government the duty of operating within the scope of the law. It’s the government’s duty to implement sound economic principles that will punish speculators or stem any actions which threaten the nation’s currency. Using force won’t cut it. I know people may have different opinions, but the confidence in the government is at an extreme low and you can’t blame those who would exploit this for economic benefits. It’s the law of the market and is as old as time itself. It’s up to the government to join in this game and to play it well.

OMG I can't believe I'm back here with my own testimony. I promised I'll be back to give God all the glory when I finally got the golden letter and to encourage someone, because all the golden mail stories gave me so much hope.

I started this whole process because my SIL was applying. I thought it was a good idea so I joined her. She got her PR seamlessly in 6 months so I thought ours was going to be that easy. Fate had other plans lol.
IELTS: 15/12/2018
WES completed: 30/01/2019
Jumped in the pool: Feb 2019, score 445. Stayed in the pool and lost 5 points due to birthday in July. Note that ITA cutoff scores just before we entered the pool were hovering around 435-439. Immediately we entered the pool, it rose sharply to 460s. As soon as I saw that scores weren't dropping, I quickly got my husband to go and write IELTS. It boosted our score to 459. I adjusted our score and the wait continued. We were lucky to get ITA because the cutoff was 459 but our profile was created before the tie break date.
ITA: 24/07/2019
AOR: 21/09/2019.
COMPLETE RADIO SILENCE! Sent about 20 webforms that went unanswered. We even ordered GCMS notes that we did not understand.
IRCC finally responded to one of my webforms and I was informed that our VO was Accra. That was when I decided to just take my mind off the entire process and wait on God.
This year, we decided to update our medicals on 24/04/2022. I sent webforms with the re-medicals and our change of address. More silence.
We even got my SIL who is in Canada to keep calling IRCC on our behalf. Still no new update from them. At one point, I thought they had cancelled our application.
One day, a friend who applied because of us, called us to tell us he just got his letter. We were confused because we know his application was months after ours. So he told us he was tired of his own waiting and got info to write a strongly worded letter to the immigration minister. We decided to do the same and sent a letter to the minister on 24/05/2022. Fortune finally smiled on us and we got a mail on 11/06/2022 for ADR to submit police report, passports for my husband and son, and schedule A for my husband and I. We submitted the documents on 7/7/2022 with our deadline being the next day (8th). On the 20th of July, I logged into our profile only to discover the documents were not transmitted. The devil really tried to work overtime but failed. Omo, I started sending webforms and reporting technical issues o. I begged and pleaded and cried. I didn't hear anything from them on that matter but on 25th July at 11pm, I saw a mail from them to check my account. I was so scared it was a rejection due to our docs not transmitting to them before our deadline. It was so heart wrenching to open my account and seeing that letter. I couldn't stop crying.

This journey has taught me the true meaning of patience, but I'm so happy it finally ended in praise. To all who are still in their waiting period, don't lose hope. It is definitely coming. Thank you so much to all old members of this thread i.e those who were here 2018/2019. This thread is a huge goldmine. Every single thing I learnt about this entire process was from here. Onto the next!!!!!

Good afternoon all, hope our day is going well.

I got a request letter in mycic account requesting I upload some documents to facilitate addition of my new born.

I thought a section will be created for her to upload documents into placeholders with labels BUT I observed just one placeholder (named replacement documents) was provided under my husband's section who is the principal applicant and it was labeled "KITS, APPLICATION FORMS".

Am I supposed to merge all the requested documents into one and upload?

I am asking because I know from experience with the application that placeholders have size limit.

Please I await your response biko as I am confused.

Allegory:

We’ve dug ourselves into such a pit in Nigeria that it’s going to take more than just any government to get us out of it. Saying the entire blame lies with the government is just a lazy way of looking at it in my opinion. I know the government has a huge portion of the blame but I CAN also blame those who choose to exploit the system.

Good evening!
Please I am currently in the pool, and I will moving to Uk for my masters, please I understand you can apply for Canada pr anywhere, please my question is how can can get my bank statement for POF from Uk?

articulate3145:

In my case, I merged all the documents as one file and uploaded it.

I however had to use a trick because the file was almost unreadable after several compressions. Here is what I did.

I figured (or guessed) that the barcode generated by the form after filling it is the most important part of the form. That's because it contains all the data I punched in the form.

So after filling, printing, and signing the form, I scanned the barcode and signature page different from where I have the other data.

I did medium compression for the barcode and signature pages and then extreme compression for the other pages.

I then merged the two files together and uploaded to my account.

PS: I downloaded a barcode scanner app to double check the information on the file before uploading.

I hope this helps

bigmills:
Scan/Merge?compress to between 1-4MB. Any document of this size is of solid quality.

Backpedal:

Let me make it simple for us both....

By nature; when humans see an opportunity to exploit; they take it to the max.

Government job is to ensure that such "loopholes" do not exist in the first place

So when they get to their destination, what will they spend - Naira??

Nikyb:
I didn’t sleep well last night, probably my worst night ever and I’m not even over it yet.
My POF is in Naira because IRCC uses official rate which happened to be around N8.5m for a family of 4. If I change in the black market and put in dom account at the rate of 580 to $ then, it won’ t be enough to meet up the 25kplus CAD for family of 4 so I picked the easiest option (leave it in naira) since that is all we have.
Last night I heard $ is now 710, so that is how all my life savings is depreciating for my eye like that, and ITA has not come�. Still waiting for PNP to boost my score if possible since EE is still 500ish now. I’m sad but this japa is like my plan A. Yes I have a job here but I am tired!
I can’t even change the money again at 710 nah, my body is still shaking and I hope putting this out here will make me better

Allegory:

You should ask in the ‘Canada student visa’ thread because those people have more answers about study visa applications, here is FSW. I’d sha say that no use trying to hide your Masters since they’ll still see it. Just ask about ways to justify a new Masters degree.

ednut1:
read their reviews on google. Filter from the lowest reviews cos They have lots of ‘fake’ good reviews done my themselves . We keep saying these things those guys will only take your money and do nothing for you. Avoid them. Agencies legally are not allowed to arrange or find job for you for work visa in Canada. You have to get the job yourself by applying for several jobs. If your occupation is in demand and the employer is willing to sponsor they will offer you a job. But its not easy

Proper and detailed direction needed, please.

You can always request for bank statements using internet banking or the bank’s mobile app (for most banks). These days they provide stamped and signed statements in pdf format straight to your inbox. If you have an account with a bank in UK, you can walk into the bank to request for a bank statement (they might just need an id and your atm card to process the bank statement).

bigmills:
Most banks can provide PDF copies of bank statements from anywhere.For GT you can request from the app.
Another option is move you cash to Foreign currency and use that as POF anytime
