if an ITA is declined and profile withdrawn, when creating a new profile, answer to 'has xyz applied for canadian immigration' bla bla would still be No i presume since no post ITA Application was submitted? Pls help with this

temitope06:


When submitting your application, your IELTS must still be valid. That's all. If you submit on Monday, your ielts can expire on Tuesday, doesn't matter as long as it was still valid when you submitted.

I doubt if this information is correct.
Any document valid on or before receiving ITA, despite expiring afterwards, is still valid for that PR process.

Garykasparov:


You are right, it's a NO

boldinc:
He will, as long as your score is good enough...

Do you mean if I carry on with this application and choose the non-accompanying option for my spouse, he doesn't have to write IELTS, ECA etc....yet he'd still get PR in the end? I'm really confused about this.

Hello wonderful team,

This journey eh! I just put head and trusting God it will be fruitful. Please I have question:

Again I had taken IELTS L8.5, S7.5, R7, W6. Sadly W gave it to me. I have paid for retake adnd also Remark of the old scores (can't sleep not knowing what happened to the W score). WES is currently processing my ECA adnd my spouce and I are takinf IELTS ina cuple of weeks time. Hopefully heavens will open for me.
my question is,
1. does my spouse have to do ECA for the credentials? I know the answer has been provided here as 'no' depending on my CRS.
2. Another question I have is, if 'no' what do i fill for spouse education level when checking my score on the CRS? do i leave it blank (select) or select none, less than secondary school?

I checked the CRS without ECA (ie left it as select) and got (see below):
Comprehensive Ranking System formula

Subtotal Core/Human capital + Spouse factors + Skill transferability = 448

Additional points = 0

Grand total = 448

i ask all these Cos his school in England is messing up for transcript adn we can save the money for ECA. What do you advice?

GURUS please.

This is not correct. The only exception is age. IELTS has to be valid till AOR.

No still choose accompanying. Scores for ietls n ECA will just read nothing 0

molly14:


Thank u now I'm confused. For example I get ITA in March and apply and submit all required documents by End of April. Spouse IETLS expires May should he just rewrite before it expires even when I have submitted?

dupyshoo:
Nope, there is no need for him to rewrite it so far you submit before it expires.

elfmann:

Dupyshoo, can I pm you on sth?

Good Afternoon all,
I am what you would call a silent follower of this forum and i would like to thank everyone who is contributing based on experience and knowledge. I have received my ITA (about two weeks now) and have also collected my Nigerian police clearance. I however need help with a few things and have finally decided to speak up.
1. How do i go about getting my UK Clearance
2. Can anyone help me with the format for The employment letter(i am referring to the letter that shows proof of employment claims)
3. Is there anyway one or more of us on this forum can gather and create a summary of the whole application process in PDF and then maybe create a link to it on dropbox. Afterwards if you have specific instructions you can come to the forum and your questions will be answered.

The last question is as a result of a post i saw that stated a serious level of cooperation between the Chinese and the same level of cooperation between the Indians but this level of cooperation is lacking among Nigerians. I would like to thank all the people who take their time to answer questions (including my own ). God bless.

dupyshoo:
1. UK PCC is very straightforward. Check this link and follow the instructions on how to go about it. https://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx
2. There is no format, just ensure the letter is written on a letter-headed paper and contains the following info: job title, job start date, detailed duties and responsibilities, no of working hours per week, annual salary and contract type.
3. Why will you say the level of cooperation is lacking among Nigerians? I believe this is wrong as a lot of people spend quality time on this thread answering other people questions without anything to gain. With regard to creating step by step instructions, there are several existing blogs with step by step instructions. This link for example gives a lot of details. http://15miles.info/cic-express-entry/

One just has to google it to get the required information. The main issue is that a lot of people cannot be bothered to search for information. Even when the info was posted a page away, they will still ask the same question.

dupyshoo:
If you are lucky to get PPR before the expiry date of your passport, they won't issue visa on the passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months for theme to put the visa.

If your application exceeds 6 months and your passport expires before PPR, you will be given 7 days to submit a new passport. I know this cos we were in the same situation. My husby's passport expired during the processing of our application. We had to submit a new one within 7 days.

My advice is this: apply for a new passport immediately. If you don't get it before submission, use the old one. Once you get the new passport, send the scanned copy of the new one via CSE.

With regard to large deposit from spouse, the spouse will just write a simple LOE that he/she transfered the said amount to support the family's plan to immigrate to Canada. I can send you a draft of what my husby wrote.

dupyshoo:
Yes, you can.

Hi Dupyshoo,
Sorry i had to quote you to make my post as i could not post my inquiry.
Great work you guys are doing here.
I have been going through this thread from the first page till the present.
I am about to start my canadian journey.
Let me breakdown my inquiry.

1. I am married, looking to take IELTS but my expired passport bears my maiden name, Can I renew my passport with my maiden name and go ahead with booking the test, the immigration officer told me it will take a long time to get a name change for my new passport plus the other hurdles i have to jump.

2. I have been working for my dad for over 3 years, but the company closed last year due to his health challenges.
Can his lawyer write me a letter of reference and have it notarized since my Dad was my boss.

CC: Vcole, boldinc, 40manlappy and other elders.

dupyshoo:
Have you done an official change of name? If not, then you can go ahead and use the passport with your maiden name.

Don't you have another person working in the company?
