So person go convert and merge 30+ pages just for POF for this yeye Canada people. I'm out, I no dey do again. Who wants my ITA abeg?

Lol, funny you!
But how your POF reach 30 pages, hope nor be dat nigeria budget wey lost that time, you don go root commot for CIC.....

God bless you all for all the valuable information. Please I need some clarifications.
I had my first degree (BSc) in microbiology, then I worked in the bank for 6yrs but resigned in 2015.
However, I had my MBA(management) in 2014 while still working. My job experience is related to the MBA, and I have never had an experience on my science first degree course. Can I apply in line with the banking experience even though it's in no way related to my Bsc.
Also do I fall in the category of two or more certificates.
Finally? is the 6yrs experience relevant for me even though it isnt related to my first degree.
Please help a confused friend.

Wow! @ Arcayo. Congrats, what a journey. You really love canny sha. Kept reapplying till it made senses. #thecanadiandream

@ Superdoll
You're good to go as your degree is irrelevant in the case of Canadian PR when compared with Australia. So your 6 years of banking service can be used to apply for occupations in that line.

As for evaluation of certificates, I'm yet to have full understanding of that.

Cheers

@supedoll You are good to go by evaluating just your MBA which has higher points than "2 or more certificates". Don't bother yourself with the BSc. Please read the first few pages of this thread diligently for more insights. Cheers!

@Fusion23, I sight you!

What could be the reason for why CIC will reject someone's application because of purpose of visit and travel history

omesanni:
Hi,

I am currently uploading documents as I got ITA early this week. I am confused about the passport thing. The instructions in the checklist says that I should upload the bio-data page of my passport and any pages with stamps, visas or markings. Now my current passport is still fresh as I only got it last year and I haven't used it to travel out yet. I don't know if I should just upload only the biodata page.

All my visas and visa refusal stamps are in old passports dating back to 2005. I don't know if CIC wants me to include the pages of those stamps & visas in the old passports. I don't know what CIC's end game is with this. Are they trying to see the proof for the travel history we filled? If am to take the information in the image below literally, two keywords are to submit a valid travel document and the passport that I am going to use to travel. So it means any pages with visas should be from the new passport right?. But then again my mind is telling me to play it safe and not assume.

Someone please help me make a sense of this.

Guys I am still confused about the original question I asked. I have been receiving different contradicting answers and I don't know what to do. Is there anyone that has submitted this year that can also possibly relate to my situation and can provide concrete answers?

40manlappy:


Once you exceed the free pages, you either pay $0.99 for subsequent messages or create a fresh account with a different email address

Sorry about the cancellation, how did your hubby make payment for the test? Maybe that can give us an idea of what happened.

thanks bros,yes I did pay the $0.99 for the fax and it went thru. My hubby did use his GT Acct to make the transfer to British standard chartered account and we entered my Ref No and full Names Correctly. And I didn't get any payment confirmation but cancellation. But I intend going to their office first thing tomorrow morning.

why is everyone skipping this post:

Hello House,

Please can someone who previously applied for FSW with a particular occupation (NOC1212) changes it to another one due to availability of the new occupation in PNP (NOC6235). Both functions are actually being performed by the person till date.

Thank you


@all: please assist

I assume that your old passports have expired and apparently no longer qualify as "valid travel document". Since your new passport does not have stamps, visa and markings, upload the biodata page of the passport only as expressedly requested by IRCC.

You may wish to include in your LOE that passports that "carry" your travel history, visa refusals/rejections have expired. In any case, you would have to make reference to them while filling the travel history section of the eAPR.

The above is what I would have done if faced with the scenario that you described. In my own case, I uploaded the biodata page and pages with visas and stamps/markings in my current passport only and provided the required travel history in the eAPR.

@all: please assist

In my humble opinion, you should be able to. Hope you will harmonize your EE profile with the PNP's. Nova Scotia?

Think about it: the two NOCs are related just that 1212 (Financial Institution Branch Manager?) is in a supervisory capacity while 6235 (Financial Sales Representatives?) is not.

If your employment reference can capture the main duties of the role as stipulated by the NOC, I think you should be fine. Please verify this diligently from IRCC's website before proceeding.

Meanwhile, I don't think people are deliberately skipping your post. Isn't it better that they skip than give you incorrect information?

@joyuzo: That sounds like the most practical thing to do now. All the best.

Hello guys, am new here, I wish to applyp

You have been answered but it is not concrete to u, chai.

Hello everyone, I have been stalking this thread since late February and I just decided to thank everyone for the wealth of information provided here. Here is my timeline:

Applied for ECA using WES - 18th March 2017
ECA report - 28th April 2017
Express Entry pool - 30th April 2017
ITA - 3rd May 2017

We hope to do medicals and PCC this week and hopefully submit the application by next week God willing.

Tnk u so much @40manlappy and @segunwamiri
Pls if I am using my MBA, can I still claim 6yrs experience even though 5yrs of the experience is pre-MBA qualification. (Got MBA 2014, worked in the bank 2009 to 2015)
I am worried if they recognise only post qualification experience

Yes, you can claim the work experience.

Now, I can see where you are coming from. Canadian Express Entry is unlike Australian PR application in this respect

Congrats @Dapt16. Please exit "ghost mode" and let us benefit from your experience and contributions.

Wish you speedy PPR

WES usually sends transcript back to the issuing institution to verify the authenticity of the transcript. You need to follow up with Uniport to get them to reply. Unilag usually replies by email and it doesn't cost a kobo but it's possible Uniport will rather use courier, in which case you'll have to pay for the courier services.

bigbroda:
Any Uniport graduate dat did WES evaluation in d house? 0

Honestly these WES guyz are giving me headache abi na UNIPORT ni.

I already paid WES and also sorted out my Uniport transcript sending. About 2 weeks ago, my status on WES website changed to 'documents recieved, review in progress'. I knew they use about 20 business days to complete review, I just decided to mail them yesterday complaining dat I was yet to hear from them on my credentials evaluation and I got d mail below from them:

Dear Applicant,


University of Port Harcourt has sent the attached form requesting a fee in order to verify the authenticity of your credentials.

PLEASE SEND YOUR PAYMENT DIRECTLY TO University of Port Harcourt.

Your evaluation is on hold until WES receives a written response from University of Port Harcourt.



What's dis crap about? Does anyone understand dis? Still wondering why they didn't even tell me dis until I mailed them yesterday.

@40manlappy: Thanks for the reply.

Congrats. This is a fantastic timeline.

Hi,

CIC can be so confusing and contradicting some times. On the instructions in my document checklist for proof of funds it says this

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.

In the excerpt above it says that the bank letter should provide the balances of the account for the last 6 months but on their site it says the average monthly balance. Below is the excerpt:

The letter(s) must be printed on the letterhead of the financial institution and must include the applicant’s name, the contact information of the financial institution (address, telephone number and email address), the account numbers, the date each account was opened and the current balance of each account as well as the average balance for the past six months.

Now which one is it the balance or avergage balance.

hello guys,

Please i want to ask, if I use IQAS for my evaluation, does it restrict me in anyway? In terms of cities I can migrate to since IQAS is an Alberta Government service. Am I restricted to Alberta?

Abeg who knows JAMES CUBITT DEVELOPMENT?

The annoying thing sometimes with this CIC folks is they say one thing on the site and expect different from applicants (though this is based on the individual VO). For example, they say upload only your educational certificates but I have read of cases that were refused because the applicant didn't also add his IELTS and ECA reports.

Personally, I believe that the travel history is checked against the immigration stamps on our passports for consistency. What I did was to scan all the stamped pages in my old and new passports but added the bio data page of only my current passport.

No it doesn't restrict ur choice of province to settle. Only those dat use PNP are restricted to d province dat nominated them.

Purpose of visit is attached to so many reasons only GCMS note can point you to the right one (if one provide his/her profile/documents submitted Gurus in the house can guess the possible reasons) " mine was because of my current position in my job PROJECT MANAGER going for construction project management it was clearly stated that The PA is already engaged in the proposed study in Canada'' i later explained it in my SOP that i have the experience but needed certification.
Travel history is by the way most time.......i don't think they have ticked travel history as the only reasons for rejection of anyone's application b4 but they do tick only purpose of visit

Congrats @Arcayo
