Finally, ITA arrived for my wife!

softseun:
Ielts L8.5 R7.0 W7.5 S7.0

Crs= 405

Which way to proceed pls?

vcole:
@Spatz81, I carefully read through your post. That was a very important update to the rules that you brought to the fore. It means that if an applicant receives an ITA on say April 1st and has his birthday on May 1st and submits his eAPR on May 1st or after, whenever the immigration officer begins to review his application for eligibility checks (i.e. A11.2), he stands the chance of being denied permanent residence based on not being eligible if by virtue of losing points for age, his CRS drops below the required cut off for the draw in which he was invited.
However, if he submits after his birthday and yet even with the points lost for age, his CRS still meets or surpasses the cut off for the draw, his application would be fine. Also, if he goes ahead to submit his eAPR before his birthday on May 1st, his app would be fine.
Bottom line - once you receive an ITA, endeavour to submit your eAPR before your next birthday if you know that your CRS less 5 points would make you fall below the cut off for your draw.

@bimpsy99, pls take note that "your application would not be refused" is not the same as having a successful outcome.

@esosa4real, I got my passport back siiiiiincceee in February. It only took 5 days. Don't worry about your medicals, sometimes it gets updated quickly, other times it takes a while.

@40manlappy,congrats. This has been a long time coming. I wish you a smooth sail from here on.

@markab, I am female oh. I often wonder why "thanks bro" is the default response when someone gives a reply. Is it only men that provide answers? #justsaying

@lochinny, medical doctors can only evaluate their degrees through MCC and pharmacists can only evaluate theirs through PEBC, any other evaluation done by any other evaluating agency would be declared null and void by IRCC. If your husband is the PA and his estimated crs scores WITHOUT evaluating your own degree is 459, then y'all may want to write ielts and get his own degree evaluated and get into the pool asap to take advantage of the wind of low cut off draws.

@ugoiyke79e, that eAPR form can be dicey. You may have to fill all the info again seeing as it wiped off.

Greetings to all. Congrats to all new ITA recipients. And to the hopefuls, hang in there. It'll happen soon.

P.S.
If anyone new here sent me PMs, pls kindly endeavor to ask your questions here as I would be unable to respond to the messages via email.

Write a letter explaining the mistake and your husband should sign ,scan it and send it as a fax using hello faxm google it . Its free, also if you haven't sent your documents from your end , there is a place at the bottom of the form that you can make corrections and changes use it. When you send the fax wait for like 3 working days and call them. Be persistent when you call don't let them give you a generic answer. All the best

Wow!!! So I read from Pade 0 to 366. The pain is/was worth it. I know virtually everything I need to know. I'll advise all those asking questions to take the pain and read through the pages. I have no ECA and Ielts yet. I am finishing my MA anytime from July. However, with the way the CRS is between 430-445, I'm tempted to use my BA alone instead if waiting for my MA which might not be out till November. Also, I'm presently trying to study the ielts in general. I'm definitely using Iqas for my ECA. Thank you all.

Bimpsy99:
Thanks and well done

Dear everyone,

I am not claiming points for my NYSC employment but the system is requesting that I upload employment records for this period. Will my NYSC certificate alone be enough since I am not claiming points for this period? Has anyone done this in the past without any problem?

perks:
Congratulations to all those dat received ITAs.

Quick question for those that have gotten their PPR. Wat was the average wait period between when you received ur AOR and ur PPR?

Secondly, how long does it take to receive ur passport back after PPR?

Lochinny:
Thanks a lot @vcole
My husband is a pharmacist but it was stated that if u are applying as a retail or hospital pharmacist. But he's not applying as both. He's applying as a pharmaceutical sales representative. That's where he has experience and he has a degree in pharmacy. Since I'm not the principal applicant my evaluation is needed for points. So I can be evaluated by others not necessarily the Mcc.(as I was told by a friend.)
So I'm I on track??

Thanks vcole for a detailed response.

"Thanks sis"

vcole:

Well done. I know how tasking it could be but it's totally worth it. If your estimated crs with your BA would get you up to 430 and above, it's worth evaluating and getting into the pool.

@optionese...Thanks...I know CIC states 6months, but I want to know from practical experience what the exact time was from AOR to PPR. And from PPR to return of passports. Those that have scaled through should please share their timeline please. Thanks

ayxmania:


Thank you. With MA, my crs is 478, with BA, it is 441.
I'm 24 and single, 5 years working experience.

Hi,

Is it okay if I upload a scanned copy of a passport photo that is 50mm by 70mm(as seen in this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf) when I get my ITA request?

Is 50mm by 70mm passport photo acceptable for the ITA request photo?

omesanni:


any answers to the above question?

Onlineise:


Yoooo whatever permutation you are doing, just roll with that 6months tbh...We have had testimonies of 2 or 3months here, whereas we have had people with 5months to a little over 6months...it actually really does vary.
