hello lawyers in the house please i need clarification on the NOC to put on my work experience.i have 7 years in litigation and 2 years plus as a magistrate . am confused on how the NOC works. @iphie25 kindly assist
i believe the NOC for paralegal appropriate

Hi, check this and those mentioned at the bottom of the link, http://noc.esdc.gc.ca/English/noc/Profile.aspx?val=2&val1=4112&ver=11&_ga=1.163563833.460803523.1466687053

Great thread here, very enlightening ...

I have a few questions:

1. If one gets an ITA without doing a credential evaluation, is it still necessary to do one? In other words, in completing your profile, you had noted that the credential evaluation has not been done yet but you still received a good score and got an ITA, do you still have to do the credential evaluation? What impact does the credential evaluation have on CIC's decision and are there any examples of people who have successfully applied without doing the evaluation.

2. What are the chances of getting a police clearance certificate without being physically present in Nigeria?

3. With respect to proof of FOP, reading through this thread I see people talking about average balance being what is required. Is average balance still what is required today or this has changed? I ask this because of this additional information I found on the CIC page

If you are applying for permanent residence in Canada, you must provide an official letter
issued by your financial institution indicating your financial profile. This must:
• list of all your bank (chequing and savings) and investment accounts, the account
numbers, dates each account was opened and the balance of each account over
the past six months,
• list all outstanding debts, such as credit cards and loans,
• be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution, and include your name and
the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and
email
address).

The portion in bold does not state average balance so can any one advice?

4. Is there any lawyer qualified in Nigeria here who has successfully gotten PR through EE? If yes, in what NOC category did you apply?

I am grateful for insightful answers to the above. Thank you

yep i know where to look ,just couldn't figure out the specific code that suited my profession. i think i have found an appropriate one though.

1. the principal applicant MUST have an education assessment evaluation in order to enter the express pool. its an immigration service for workers. in order to work you need to assess your Nigerian certificate to get its equivalent in Canadian certificate .

2 on the issue of police certificate am sure its possible

3. on POF if you check the CIC website you will see that you need a specified amount of money in your account (if you dont have a job at the time of your application)
4. on the NOC for lawyers i think the appropriate one is 4211

when did your school send it and how did they send it,was it by normal post or courier.For me l had to follow up with my school to ensure that they send the transcript.IQAS will surely send you a mail once they receive it.

by

It was sent via courier.they gave me the tracking number and I confirmed it has been delivered but Iqas is yet to send a confirmation mail

Find below this love letter from IRCC.

Dear Candidate,

This is to notify you that the requirements for proof of settlement funds has changed for 2017.

Settlement funds are only required for certain candidates depending on the program(s) you qualify for.

*Please check the Express Entry Proof of Funds webpage on the IRCC website to make sure that you have enough funds to be eligible to immigrate to Canada.

You may have to update your Express Entry profile to prove you have the required funds. If you do not have sufficient funds, your profile will be removed from the Express Entry pool.

Please review the changes and update your Express Entry profile if these changes affect you.

Thank you,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

hello, am about to send my documents to IQAS and was also looking at this fax option. which of the websites did you use. i tried some yesterday night they had restrictions on number of documents and pages per day. for instance the application form itself is already 3 pages, talk less of passport page , certificate checklist etc . as it is i have about 10 pages to send .
then the most important question who did you address it to and how long did it take for them to acknowledge receipt and update your status

l used fax to send some outstanding documents they asked for from my end

Let me ask what are you sending that is 10 pages

l used www.faxzero.com

Note when l sent via fax to IQAS l did not receive any acknowledgement mail but they got it as it was successful from faxzero's end

Well keep tabs on your email box you will receive an acknowledgement mail stating your request will be placed in line for processing with an assigned file number
Meanwhile have you sent them the signed ECA application request form along with the checklist,copy of means of identity and copies of certificate

Please did IQAS acknowledge the receipt of the faxed documents afterwards?

1. Application form (signed)(3pages)
2. Passport bio data page
3. Copy of academic credentials (university certificate)
4. Completed copy of ECA for immigration checklist(2pages)
5. marriage certificate
these are the documents i plan on sending, but i have the alternative of adding it to my transcript in another envelop though

Thanks for your response. With respect to number 1 and your response to same, like i noted the question applies to someone ALREADY in the pool and ALREADY has an ITA. If the principal applicant having an education assessment certificate number was a must, I do not think the system would have permitted entrance into the pool. To provide more perspective, I believe the principal applicant in this case has a canadian qualification as the highest qualification. The focus was with respect to the spouse, so to rephrase ... is the credential assessment essential for the spouse, where there is a score high enough to get an ITA and the principal applicant has Canadian qualification?

i must have misread your question then, the spouse doesn't need to have an ECA.

You have two options here
-send by the alternative
-see if you can send via fax in batches pls confirm you said it was returned that you sent more than three documents

Note when l sent via faxzero it was just two documents

No they did not

Note l had already sent some documents which they acknowledeged receiving so the one l sent via fax they did not acknowlegde but when my school sent the transcript they acknowledge and placed my request in line for processing meaning that they received the outstanding documents and l was good to go

I just tried the fax zero, one document though. Just a follow up with WES on why my status is still showing Document in review after over seven working days of receipt. I sent a mail, they are yet to respond. I called, they only receive calls between 9 to 2pm. So i tried out the fax option. Fingers crossed . Thanks bro.

they sent me a mail saying my fax could not be sent cos the documents i sent was more than 3 pages. you know the application letter itself has 3 pages, so if i add two more documents that is already 5 pages . how did you send your other documents? by the way did they evaluate your documents within 10 days of receipt of all your documents ?

Hello, I am a physiotherapist. I was directed to your topic on Nairaland but found out people were not contributing. I'm happy to find you here again on the general forum. I also want to begin the process. I have sent you a pm. I hope to hear from you. Thanks

Good day. I already responded to your PM. No response from you. Sure the email you registered with is still active?

Hello,

My spouse and I have decided to apply separately. To this effect, I want to include my younger siblings and my elderly parents in my application as dependants. Can I include siblings and parents who have full-time paid employment in my application as dependants and exclude my spouse?

By this, you mean the NOC code you have to pick? That will be the one where you have worked for four years. Ur work experience doesn't necessarily have to tally with your Education.

If you didn't get points for spouse's education, you don't need to do any evaluation.
