MrNovo:

Just two concerns:
1. After 7.5 years in a Country and you couldn't stabilise, what would you do differently if you where allowed in again via the same route you used earlier. So am thinking ONLY a PR upon arrival route should suit you.
2. Staying illegally even for one hour in a Country after visa expiration is enough to get subsequent denial except for some peculiar situations but you additionally making recourse to public funds to obtain your air ticket (and three official excorts) is worse than a red flag.
If your passport expires while still having a valid visa, you can obtain a travel certificate and BUY your own ticket to come back and renew the passport.
**You obviously can't get any visa from Canadian embassy. Yes you might someday enter Canada if you legally obtain the passport of a country that is visa free to Canada.
**No one should over stay their visa. If you do continue to hide there because the day you leave is most likely your last except you already acquired a deep pocket to activate second passport

Fake news, Mr, Oghenenovo. Please keep your pessimism and fear mongering to yourself.

Hello Everyone

@ stevolinkon40

Nothing to worry about
There was absolutely no update on my profile for 2 months. When they finally sent the BIL/MIL
Everything else from then was fast in my case.

NiceTheDev:


I hope so. Before the end of September..lol

More proposed amendments coming on September by IRCC..
Tough days ahead!!

If you know your UCI & Application Numbers, you can open a status tracker on the CIC website.

At least, you will have some insight into what's happening in your application.

Cheers.

Good day everyone,
Please what options do you have if your agent refuse to give you login details to your PR account after ITA?
Thanks.

Thank you. Please do you have any idea why they might have asked for schedule A form from my dependent ?

Nothing, Why do you guys still insist on using agents? This whole IRCC waka was designed to be DIY. If you encounter issues, ask questions but y'all keeping empowering your agents and leaving your future plans in their hands. I don't understand it

I believe every situation is unique let me share my unique experience in the hopes that I get feedback and insight from the gurus in the house.

I am a HND holder who went to Canada in 2016 to pursue a degree in politics. The degree took longer because I had a situation called a status restoration that took almost 2 years off. I eventually had the issue restored and did 3 years worth of studies before deciding to make a program switch to psychology, I decided also to take a break from school to properly consider my options.

Around this time I received information from my student advisor about an opportunity that would allow me to transition to a work permit. I decided to take the offer but it would require me to switch to visitor status before applying for the work permit. Unfortunately the visitor visa application was approved but the work permit app was refused.

Around this time too, my passport was about to expire (I held off renewing because I was waiting for the apps). Mind you, I was fully supporting myself since I could not work. I was unable to renew the passport at the high commission in Ottawa because they were experiencing processing issues. My passport expired and IRCC recommended returning back to Nigeria and since I had a family emergency too at that time I accepted.

I was returned to Nigeria subsequently after 7 1/2 years in canada and I came back with 4
years worth of work experience (by my estimation) and 3 years of studies in a Canadian university. I tried the CRS calculator and it registered 538

Please what are my chances applying for PR. Please drop any feedback and suggestions

In my opinion, you do not have 4 years worth of work experience that you can claim because you were not on a work permit.

You can clarify if you applied and worked with a pgwp while in Canada.

DTruth10:


I was not a full time student during those summers and the jobs I had were in management - That is tier 1, Sir.

Your application profile is as good as you never stepped a foot into Canada. You are NOT CEC category as you did not graduate and neither did you work with a work permit. So you would receive ZERO points for Canadian experience and education.

At least you actually went to school in Nigeria so you can access you nd and HND then use that for express entry.

You having lived in Canada for 7.5 years sadly has no bearing to your PR points. It quite sad that you couldn’t make it work in 7.5 years.

Personally I feel and I know I achieved a lot while there and that experience will always remain with me.

Regarding work experience, I still believe parts of that must be eligible. I guess I'll just ask a consultant directly. Thanks for your feedback.

If anything, I think his 7.5-year stay in Canada will negatively affect his pr application.

1. He was escorted by 3 officials from Canada to Nigeria after being detained whilst a travel document was being prepared for him. (if that's not deportation then...)
2. The Canadian government paid for, not only his flight ticket, but the tickets of the 3 escorts to get him back to Nigeria.
3. He has a debt to a canadian school
4. He got a 4 year (presumably) Study visa, overstayed for extra and has ~4 years of work experience? This alone will raise a lot of flags. You're not supposed to work more than 20 hours during term time and there aren't enough summers/holidays to accrue that number of years of experience.
5. He doesn't have plans of settling his debt to the school, hence he cannot claim points for Canadian education (that he didn't finish).

Seems like a ban in the making to me but I could be wrong. Definitely won't be a straightforward application.

Good afternoon everyone

Please for PCC, how do l upload my international passport? Pdf or JPEG? I tried uploading it using the pdf format but l unable to preview it. So, l decided to use the jpeg format. However, l have to zoom in to get a full image. Is it okay to proceed with the payment with the jpeg format?

Hi, I had my AOR May 11th and Biometrics July 25th and no update since then. When I try to use the tracker to check my status I get an error message and their help page implies that my application hasn't begun processing, but i know it's impossible at this stage. I've used my UCI and Application number on my BIL yet I can't access tracker. Do you have any suggestions or a solution to this? Thanks.

Definitely. All exposure is good exposure as long as we learn from it. Feel free to book a consultation with an immigration lawyer.

Well if he wasn’t banned, then they wouldn’t effect a ban now for no reason. However, he would need to do more to prove that he is going to stick to his visa regulations this time around. A PR visa is the best option but he can only use his naija education and experience. He can’t claim points for his partial canadian education even if the outstanding tuition is paid. And yes, excorting him to naija is a removal order. Whether he voluntarily went there and cooperated or not.


He would definitely need to engage with an immigration lawyer for any further application to Canada. So his previous breach can be appealed and proof can be shown that he is rehabilitated now and can support himself. Else any temporary residency application is an automatic refusal based on the history of removal.

the only way you can enter Canada back is via marriage. You didn’t complete your studies so no points for canada study, your so called work experiences while being a student doesn’t count as work experience/ summer jobs. You know the truth ( your moniker is Dtruth) but you want others to validate you delusions. No no no no

Unfortunately the tracker itself hasn't been updated by IRCC since mid-June, so it's of no help.
Can you atleast get the email?

I honestly don't know why agents do this. Is this a way of punishing old clients or what?
Please any agent that doesn't allow you have 100% access to your profile when need be(have this in a contract), run.

You know you're leaving certain things out, but that's ok.
Your best bet will be an immigration lawyer. They'll relay your options in accordance with the law.

Hello Everyone,

I need the help of the house. I have a certificate from ICAN from the Accounting Technicians Scheme West Africa (ATSWA) program. Has anyone tried and had any success using this Accounting Technician certificate to claim points for a second degree (the 2 or more category)? I would like to confirm this before proceeding to WES to add it to my BSc degree. Please I would appreciate any tips or help concerning this.

Thank you.

You sound bitter. You are wrong and your info is false. There are several ways to reenter Canada. No to you as well, ma'am.

you were escorted back to Nigeria by 3 officers. You must think we are kids here if you want us to believe you didn’t do something serious. Continue with your delulu. Imagine counting education you never finished for CRS scores. Naso

You do sound quite bitter. Believe what you want. Your opinion and info are false and non factors in my decision moving forward.

Counting education: I have a HND and was in my Third year in Canada - that counts for something.
I was escorted as per protocol (found this out from my interactions with the officials).

Go ahead and evaluate with WES. ATSWA add a second certificate.

You for kuku no bring this matter come online. You just have to filter through info contributed to your post and make your own decision instead of countering them. We have about 2m people viewing this thread with vast experience offering selfless service. What other benefits do you think they gain telling a fellow brother/sister the truth?

Ontarioo:

Well, there have been reasonable feedbacks and I am grateful for those. What you see is me dispatching of the bitter know it alls that spread false info quickly.

Hello house, I need some advice on how to go about providing proof of my first month salary, we are all aware that we get paid in cash for the first month of service year. Please how can I go about providing proof of that, EE asks for last 6 months, but OINP asks for first and last month payslips.

FIXED!!! 😊

Go ahead and submit your PR application. As you said, your 3 years of uncompleted education counts for something. I can guarantee you your PR application will be approved automatically. And don't worry about the previous issues you had with the immigration officers in Canada, they escorted you to Nigeria based on the V.I.P that you are. I've told you the sweet lies others refused to tell you. All the best!!!

I know you are trying to be patronizing but I have a clear view of what my situation is. That said, thanks for your "feedback"... I shall see.

Hi, I want to do wes evaluation for OAU,but I'm confused and stuck at the oau transcript request portal.

DTOBS:


Hello!
So, I followed the normal process of creating an account with WES and then select IRCC as the destination for the evaluation. Then I proceeded to request for my transcript from my school to be sent to WES directly using the reference form given by WES.
For my school (OAU), the transcript cost 45k plus extra 350 for charges.

For the WES fee, it is $CAD260. I had to reach out to someone in Canada to help make the payment on my behalf while I send the naira to them when my GTBank USD debit card was not going through.

Hope this helps

Good afternoon house, please how long does it take to council visit visa in order to process LMIA work visa? My family got LMIA work and he’s having pending visit visa which he needs to council before submitting work visa we’ve sent to Nairobi they referred us to Lagos we’ve sent web form to Lagos for almost 3 weeks nothing has been done about it please help ooo!

After research, careful review of my documents and consultation, I have found out I was issued a direction to leave Canada, which later became a departure order because of my cooperation. Thankfully, I am exempt from something called ARC (I am in the clear, thank God), which one can apply for to seek redress from those situations (Yes, you can seek redress from deportation as well).

I will be doing more research on the issue and should update as things move along. Just happy to be in the clear and indeed prove the naysayers wrong.

Cheers.
