Good morning people.
Please who can single handedly walk me through on how to relocate to Canada from Nigeria?
I'm working in one of the companies here as a warehouse team leader.

What and what do I need for the application to be successful?

A summary of everything will be ok for me.

Thanks as you indicate an interest to put me through.

Nothing bugs me more than ignorant black people using the term "woke".

CountVersailles:

What’s woke in what I typed? I encourage you think more critically about things. I know many Nigerians don’t, but you can be the exception if you want to.

I'm just wondering whether this CRS score will ever go down

DUMCHRIS:
Hello. Please I need your assistance here. I have read from the beginning and I stopped midway cos I felt nothing was forthcoming. I was sent an invitation to submit application mail from Saskatchewan province. I want to know how I can do ECA, how much is the cost? I also did Npower some years ago how do I submit my payslip when I was not given any but I have letter of employment, how can I get reference letter from my school seeing that it is a long time. I taught and resigned early this year in another school after Npower. I did not receive employment letter there. How can sort these things out as I was asked to do that before the end of October, 2022. Also I am having challenge setting up gckey account with IRCC. Each time I insert a password to create account it just doesn't create anything keeps going back. How can I handle this please? I do not have money in my account, but how can I use a sponsor?
Thanks.

..It will, albeit, marginally . If I may ask...What is your crs score?

My IELTS result is finally out and I had LRWS at 8.5, 8.5, 8.5 and 7.5.

My husband scored LRWS at 8.5, 7.5, 7.5 and 7.5.
This was our first try and we didn’t dedicate enough time to studying but glad it worked out.

It’s looking like I’ll be the primary applicant since I’d also have more scores on education because of ACCA versus his ICAN.

CountVersailles:

Let's get something straight. It's not any God's grace. You were an exception, which is okay. There are many more people possibly in other countries who were also exceptions like this. It's a good thing, an excellent thing, but don't let it get into your head. It's not any God's grace where you were specifically targeted. Those who are in for longer are just like you and it doesn't make them any worse off or any lacking of God's grace.

Good Evening Guys, I got a "Ready For Visa" email 4 days ago (23rd August) but I still have some concerns.

Background story: I have 2 kids, one already updated in my application since 2020.
The 2nd child was birthed in March this year - So I raised a webform to notify IRCC
I applied for Int'l Passport which came out in late July - Raised another webform (included all requirements for dependent child).
I booked medicals for him and the whole family - which was done on the 19th of August 2022. (our last medicals was done in August last year,
although this is updated as 23rd Dec 2021 due to wife Xray being delayed as a result of her pregnancy).

The Issues:
1. My application is still capturing only one child despite completing all the requirement for the 2nd child to be added.(Most Important).
2. I expected the Medicals to have been updated to August 19th 2022.

basically my application remains the same prior to the birth of my 2nd child.

In the interim I have notified IRCC via webform awaiting their feedback. while I have started gathering the documents to be sent to VAC Lagos.

Good evening house

I applied for permanent residence (paper application) through the spousal sponsorship route in May. AOR email was sent July ending to my husband’s email because he is my representative.

On the 19th of August, IRCC sent three emails to; pay biometrics fee, link my paper application to my GC key account and upload the biometrics payment receipt which I’ll have to do from my account after linking it. But I’ve been unable to link my account till now, it keeps saying no application found after providing all the requested information regarding the application. I’ve sent a webform; got a generic response. My husband has tried calling CIC severally but no agent picks up.

This is getting me super worried because without linking the account, I can’t upload the biometric fee receipt. And without uploading the receipt, IRCC will not send biometrics request and my application won’t move forward.

Please I’d like everyone’s thoughts on how to resolve this issue. Thank you

aestake:

Hahah...you have the right to electricity.

I hope my experience will help you navigate properly what to do.

I got a ready for visa mail on the 25th of July 2022 without my second baby born in May this year reflecting in my application. I had already notified them previously via webform but got no response.

I had to swing into action immediately to facilitate the addition of my baby.

These are the steps I took:

1. I replied them through the RFV mail, notifying them of the existence of my newborn and my intention to add her as an accompanying dependent. I also informed them I had notified them via webform before the mail but got no response.

2. I attached the documents I had available to back up my claims in the mail I sent.

*Birth certificate
*Baby's picture
*NIN slip because I did not have the international passport available
*LOE for medicals with the appointment booking. I had not done medicals for her yet but I had booked appointment with Qlife
*LOE for International passport with application print out and appointment booking print out. She had not been captured yet but she had been booked for capturing. I was working on a reschedule for her because the capturing date was for September 12.
*LOE with documents for updated POF to now accommodate a family of 4 instead of 3.

I got a response via same mail on the 26th of July,that they are writing to acknowledge receipt of my notifications, however I need to resend the attached documents because they are more than 5mb. I had to compress the documents and re-sent them.

I got another response on the 27th of July with the body of the mail stating

*Good day,
Please be advised that the final decision was removed on your application in order to facilitate the addition of your child to your application.
Please do not submit your passports at this time.
You will be contacted in due course regarding the next steps required.

On the 29th of July, I got another mail asking me to check my profile for update as they require some documents from me to complete the addition. I was given 30days to do this, which expires on the 28th of August.

I had to pay extra to reschedule appointment for her capturing and paid another extra to fast track the production of the passport.

I finally got the passport on the 18th of August and I uploaded and submitted all the documents requested of me on mycic account on the 20th of August using the placeholder provided.

I still notified IRCC via same RFV mail trail of the uploaded documents they requested for on the 20th of August.

On the 23rd of August, I got a response from IRCC informing me that they have received successfully the uploaded documents.

On the 24th of August, I got a mail for me to check my profile for a new update. I checked and realized my baby has been successfully added.

On the same 24th of August, I received another Ready for Visa mail which I will be submitting our passports on Monday next week at VFS Lagos.

For now, use the RFV mail sent to you to communicate with them. Webform they delay things. They might see it and they might not. But the RFV mail will definitely deliver directly to your processing officer.

All my communication was through the RFV mail I received on the 25th of July 2022.

The process of addition was very fast for me. I was totally surprised.

I wish you all the best in yours.

Hallelujah! It's RFV...

Not too long but a roller coaster daunting but eventful journey.

My siblings in Canada have been on my case to relocate but for some weird reasons I rather prefer to just do visit and come back. Until I got married and my wife became so scared of naija wahala. Easily my people were able to make her start the process.

She applied in mid month of Dec 2020, for our ECA and used etx for transcript, we both have masters from UNN but surprisingly, her WES was completed in first week of Jan 2021 while mine was eventually completed in June 2021. That delay got me involved because of transcript issues and that's how my interest started, coupled with the lack of foreseeable end to insecurity and above all the kids future.

My wife's first and only IELTS result came ending of June, 2021 with just an average score of 7 (I didn't write IELTS). This was enough to enter the pool. We both have more than a decade work experience from a single organization.

As at when we joined pool our CRS was a paltry 347! Before we got nomination it dipped to 327 due to birthdays, lol. So cos of the low score we dont visit the EE portal, we were focused on getting PNP.

So just as the EE profile was created, an EOI was submitted for SINP and within few days we got an ITA. At this point, I now put on my researching cap and carried Canada immigration matter as case study especially SINP.

I realised since we didn't have POF ready and SINP has a rigid 3months old POF rule, we had to painfully ignore the ITA and went all out to gather fund. When it expired we were now set and ready to receive another ITA. Unfortunately, the rules have changed! SINP draws paused and eventually health professionals need to get job offer to be considered!

In between this period of dilemma, we took a stroll into the EE profile and found notification of interest (NOI) sitting pretty but now old in the account!

AINP sent us NOI end of September, 2021 but we didn't get to see it until mid November! It was a rush of emotions. We noticed that, we didn't accept to click getting mail option. So we couldn't get mail from EE portal and since we weren't expecting any miracle we just abandoned the account.

AINP usually gives 2weeks for applicants to accept their NOI else it goes invalid. Well, we sent an acceptance using the link provided and also followed it up with a letter of clemency, stating why we missed it.

Fortunately, after 48hours, we got a response that we can continue with the same application under same stream. That was the first miracle for me in this process.

Unfortunately, cos of the experience we have had with SINP as regards health professionals and Canadian licensing. We opted to fill in another NOC that does not require license during the submission of application. This was even recommended by the licensing authority of my wife profession in Canada, cos licensing can take some time and makes immigration process long.

So after we submitted AINP application in Jan 2022, by march most of the applicants we submitted same month have been nominated but ours was not touched. We knew that our delay was cos we did not apply with the NOC upon which we got NOI. We didn't know what to do. We were scared to make any move to avoid disqualification.

On a fateful night, kidnappers came and made attempt close to our home, the gunshots were terrible! It was in a prone position, lights off, shivering, that I drafted a letter of change of NOC for my wife to send to AINP. We gave them reasons why we had to deviate from the original NOC based on the recommendation of a regulatory body over there. We showed all evidence, dropped links to the website quoted and prayed. This was around April 10, 2022.

About 2weeks after, my wife was called by AINP, for some fact check. The agent is a Nigerian so the talk flowed well. He asked for her NOC, and she told him the initial NOC filled and that she sent a mail for change to the main NOC. The officer said,he's calling cos of the mail (our second miracle) and fortunately for us, the reference letter submitted was in favour of the new NOC as well.

Nomination came the following day as my birthday gift, after we sent the payslips he asked immediately.

Unfortunately, EE draw happened that same day before we could link the nomination to EE. So early may ITA arrived and we submitted application using same documents used for AINP. Our reference letter was about 6months old, spouse foreign work experience was clicked but since I had collected my reference when we applied for my wife's, so I just uploaded it as asked. Thank God mine wasn't assessed cos the job duties no too rhyme at all with my chosen NOC. We didn't see IRCC guideline when we were making request for reference letter. We only wrote it as our usual routine came to mind.

My wife's reference letter was better off but can be better. Remember we wrote her letter to have semblance with that initial NOC we filled during AINP?

It was when we got nomination that I joined this group. I had a lot of struggle within me to change the reference letter but cos of the tussle involved in getting it from work. We just decided to use it because we didn't want to delay any further. I was not comfortable with some entries too on our marriage certificate.

Anyways, I remember in one of my queries when the amiable @Graciouswords advised that I should look for WhatsApp group of my AOR and join to know when eligibility is passed for people around me. That advice was the bombard. Those WhatsApp groups are real tension relievers.

My journey from AOR to RFV is about 86days

AOR May 29
MED Aug 19
BIL Completed Aug 22
RFV Aug 23

If this is not God's grace I wonder what is?

Thanks You Jesus!!!

PS:
Pls to submit passport in Nigeria to VFS where biometrics was done, do one need to go online to do anything? Are we making any transmission payment for dependents who didn't capture for biometrics? The recent announcement that one can walk in to submit passport physically in Nigeria, does it mean that passport are now being stamped in Naija also? Is someone residing in naija but outside Lag and Abj supposed to just courier passport 2way to Abuja/Lagos and that's all, even with below 14years old dependents? Pls what's the process?

I wish everyone still waiting for the golden mail Godspeed and favour.

Sitting on this fence with you. It's coming down anyways, even though very slowly, its sha coming down. Meanwhile i'm a bit concerned about this TEER system that comes into effect on the 16th of November. i've read that it will favour some and not so much others. Please all the EE draw analysts, any idea when it will come below 500? I'm sitting in the 490's and wondering if it will get that low by some miracle this year

GodswillBeDone:
Hello! I'm not new to Nairaland, I have been a guest observing multiple topics for a while. Please I need assistance in determining which PNP program I will be eligible without a job offer from any Canadian employer. Please, I look forward to your response(s). God bless you tremendously and may you experience success in your endeavours!

ednut1:
you have to visit the different websites to see if you qualify for any. Also google pnp tracker.
