Hi All,

There a total of 11 forms listed at www.cic.gc.ca which are used for FSWP. I am applying for permanent residence under federal skilled worker visa program 2014. I am single and live with my parents. My parents are financially dependant. I have never lived in any other country except my country of residence for more than a month. I am not using a representative for my visa application. In my opinion I need to fill out the following forms:

1. Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) (PDF, 536 KB)
2. Schedule A: Background / Declaration (IMM 5669) (PDF, 286 KB)

4. Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) (PDF, 79 KB)
5. Fee Payment Form – Application for Permanent Residence (IMM 5620) (PDF, 27 KB)
6. Document Checklist – Centralized Intake Office (IMM 5612) (PDF, 233 KB)

and don't require to fill out the following:

1. Additional Dependants/Declaration (IMM 0008DEP) (PDF, 472 KB)
2. Supplementary Information – Your travels (IMM 5562) (PDF, 21 KB)

4. Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union (IMM 5409) (PDF, 19 KB)
5. Use of a Representative (IMM 5476), if applicable. (PDF, 55 KB)

Am I correct? Please guide me. Thanks.

All in the name of having a perfect processing.
I did my diploma and Bsc in the same university. The diploma (satelite campus) had to be done to gain the admission then. Though it was done as a direct entry to the university.
I only sent my BSc to WES and it has been evaluated to four years equivalent. Mind you, I started from 200level in the university (3yrs in all).
Now, do I include my diploma along with my BSc with ECA in the package?
If yes, can I use notification of result? As I don't have a ceritficate
OR should I omit the diploma?
Thanks

On the alternative,please try to contact your back physically and asked if there is a pending transaction on your account.
A buddy of mine was in same issue yesterday.It was at Gtbank that it was realized that there was a pending transaction from CIC on the account which needs the applicant's approval.
Once the approval was given,the account was debited immediately.
Funny thing is that the banks sometimes do not give approvals for such transactions and they will never notify applicants for such.When this happens after about 48 or 72 hours,the transaction will be denied.This has happened to me before and cost me alot of additional waiting time which is why I always advised applicants to go for demand draft(DD) because not all applicants find it rosy with credit card debit.
I really pray yours do not fall into this category....please visit your bank and explain further to a senior bank official to the one you have met before.
Cheers.

Hi Guys,
In my original application package, I missed to mention the “Address of Payer” in the “Section A” of fee payment form. My fee payment mode is Credit Card. My spouse is the payer. Is Address mandatory to swipe card. What can i do now. I am a sep 3rd applicant. If i send a new Fee payment form, will they accept it?
Thanks

loriaidah:

Good morning All,
Please those with ICAS experience enlighten me please, my transcript sent directly from my school has since been received by one " Hamze" on behalf of ICAS but my status has not changed for several day now, i cant even tell if the doccument i sent myself thru NIPOST has been received. PLease help

damkollins:

Relax...it may take some days for them to update your details.
Why did you send it through NIPOST?...You should have send through courier.
Expect some delays on the NIPOST mail as you can not track it.
But all will be fine.
Cheers.

Wow, Damkollins this is very valuable information. I'll do that this morning I'll go to their Ph head office. This is why its good to ask questions. Thanks again bros.

Hi Damkollins, Anbako and others

I went to First Bank and discussed with the Manager. I went with a copy of the fee payment form. He told me the transaction is not possible with the fee payment form alone without either my PIN or a letter authorising the payment which would contain CIC's account no. He also says the CIC process is too open and is subjec to fraud. Does that mean ALL debit cards from Nigeria cannot do the job?
Can I know what your friend had to do? Thanks

Hi @ Damkollins,
I have posted here before now about the inaccessibility of my WES report by CIC online. My evaluation was done in 2013 and when I got WES notification for a fee payment of $50.85 (for my report to be visible to CIC), I paid on 3rd October, 2014 through a link given me by WES.
Surprisingly, I got an email from CIC yesterday saying WES has not released my online report for visibility.
Is there anything you have to say to this?

Hello,

Could you let us know banks in Nigeria that issue DD in Canadian dollars so we explore this option rather than the unpredictable nature of using the debit card. More so, what happens to the DD just in case your application is unsuccessful?

Thanks

I sent my MBBS and other documents to MCC since October 1st, and I got a email from MCC that the parcel was received by them through courier, and my status on physiciansappy.can has been indicated as ( IN PROGrESS) , over 3 weeks now.. I seem to have lost out in this FSWP.

[b]I'm sure the official you spoke to have no clue about what you told him or perhaps,you are unable to communicate to him in a language that will be understandable to him or her.I'm sure yourself knows that WES doesn't need your pin number to access your account when you pay for assessment like wise British doesn't need your pin number to access your account when you pay for IELTS registration .
CIC have your authorization on the fee form where you have filled your card details,name of the cardholder,card numbers and the security number digits at the back of your card.I also assume you sign the fee payment form before submission .Once all these ha been done,that is the authorization needed to deduct the cash.
Contrary to you,credit and debit cards are acceptable for CIC processing fees even though so many reasons avail that makes it unpredictable .....just that it affected me.
So many applicants in Nigeria have been successful including a recent experience of my friend i share with you.
My friend only gave a verbal confirmation/authorization without the so called pin code and it was debited within 10mins.
These are info you should have been aware of before using this card.......I'm sure the bank official is not well updated to understand what you explained to him or her.

Thank you for your reply. Like i said in my post, i have visited the bank - twice, but the guys seem clueless. For now, maybe i'll try to contact Interswitch, i'm not sure how but i'll have to try. Frankly, this waiting game is painful - i pray i laugh at the end of all this

akanni:


i think you can also call their contact center on the internet to verify that the card is activated.
Better still, try and do a test debit on it just to be sure it's ok.
also, at the back of your card, there should be a number to contact for any enquiries.
i hope this helps a bit.

I appreciate the responses from the house. I used this same card to pay for my Ielts and WES assessment. I also use it to buy recharge cards on quickteller. But i. will try again as suggested, thanks

Please send a mail to WES through contactca@wes.org with your reference number to state your complaints.
Send the mail urgently and be sending reminder daily until they respond to you.

@Damkollins,Solomonwise and others, please i need your advice asap.

I am doing my ECA with ICAS and on 10/10/2014, my file status was changed to, '' Application reviewed for completeness and placed in queue for assessment''. Also,by tracking the courier company online, my last document/transcript got to ICAS 23/09/2014 even though my file was updated 10/10/2014. And when I sent them an email last week they replied me that the reference date they are using for my file is the date they got my last document which is 23/09/2014 and not the date it was updated on their system (10/10/2014). Do you think my ECA Report will be ready on time and I can submit my package to CIC before 31st December 2014? Or would you advice i start another ECA with WES instead?

Secondly, I got into ICAS wahala because I graduated from Uniport and WES clearly stated that they don't evaluate Uniport results. But i also have a ND and HND from PTI. If i am to turn to WES to evaluate only my ND and HND, how many points would that give me and how long would it take for the Report to be ready.

NB: All other documents needed for me to submit my FSW application are ready.
