I've been following this thread for a while. This is however my first post.

I'm sorry if the question is redundant.

1. I want to apply for WES for my BSc. I would like to know if I can ask that the report be sent to a friend in US. Am I going to need only the softcopy?? This is in a bid to cut cost. Kindly help clarify.

2. I am currently preparing for IELTS and plans to write the exam next month. Is there any hint as to getting high scores. I saw someone mentioning not indicating purpose of writing. I'm gunning for band 8. I've written TOEFL before and scored 102 hence the confidence. I'm single with 3+ years of experience and hope to leverage on the test.

3. I have age discrepancies in several of my documents (criticism is allowed I really never knew by BD). My International Passport bears Bleep while my WAEC and BSc transcript contained yyy. I've been trying to stick with the age in my International passport for most international applications. Can someone please educate how to navigate these challenges.

@Boss13, just wondering if the bank's covering letter is still mandatory if one is using largely FD or TB for the pof? Thanks

Many people are really bothering thier head about this issue. My guy who left for canada in jan simply told me to leave the money there for 1month or 2. Hes account was low the previous months. He didnt give any explanation and hes visa was approved. Well decision relies on how flexible the VO is.

toyogirl:
Toh ppl want to wound themselves with 'overthinking' the POF. ..I also know som1 who just had a 3 months old FD, and he got his COPR! The final decision lies with the VOs, I guess, and God's favour....ours is just to try due diligence & follow the stated rules and back it up with prayers. Shikena!

You see. Many people are just having analysis paralysis. Over analysing a situation.

toyogirl:
Lol....its not any1's fault ooo, I guess if Yar'adua had not died when he did, probably naija wdnt have been this bad and most of us may not have really considered checking out. But as it is, all I know is that I'm going to Canada in @optionese's words

I didn't use an affidavit but what you are planning sounds reasonable.

However, do you have a reference letter or any documentary proof (appointment letter, etc) of the "correct" occupation? I think you can use them to complement the affidavit and a letter of explanation (LOE).

Yes I have got appointment letter and reference letter. I will have to be 100% sure that affidavit is acceptable so that I don't risk messing up my application.
Thanks for the info.

Please you people should not mislead people or use what is not known to Nigeria as a process here. people have gone this far to jeopardise their chances with gift deed. why dont we play safe? they really do background check on information supplied and some nigerians are part of their staff.

ARE U GUYS READY FOR THE CHANGES TOMORROW?

News Release
From Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

June 5, 2017—Markham, ON – Improvements to the Express Entry system taking effect tomorrow help support the integration of skilled workers as they build their new life in Canada. This benefits Canada as newcomers are able to more quickly put their skills to use to help strengthen and grow Canada’s economy.

Starting on June 6, new points will be awarded to candidates with siblings in Canada. Studies have shown that as newcomers build a new life in Canada, those with siblings benefit by having improved integration into Canadian society.

Other changes to the Express Entry system include points for candidates with strong French language skills, removing the requirement to register with Job Bank and a new approach to rank tied candidates in the Express Entry pool.

Programs managed through the Express Entry system attract high-skilled foreign workers and former international students who want to live in Canada permanently and whose in-demand skills are needed by employers across the country to help build businesses and grow the economy.

Nice one! Does one need to get a letter from d pension company again to prove dat one can access 25% of his/her pension fund especially as they are already aware? I think one should just request for his account statement from d company and state it in d LOE dat he has access to 25% of d fund few months upon resigning provided by d pension act. Dis might b a good option especially if d pension coy isn't ready to give any letter.

dupyshoo:
I used my maiden name as principal applicant (yet to change my name) and there was no issue with it.
It is strange though that your marriage certificate has compound name as it is usually in your maiden name.

What I will advise is this: try and get the marriage certificate reissued. If you can't, use your maiden name and just include a LOE that only your court registry certificate has a different name (combination of your spouse name and your maiden name).

Kindly help clarify. They can post anywhere but I think it's d same cost as posting to naija, so it's up to u to decide where u wanna send it to.

2. I am currently preparing for IELTS and plans to write the exam next month. Is there any hint as to getting high scores. I saw someone mentioning not indicating purpose of writing. I'm gunning for band 8. I've written TOEFL before and scored 102 hence the confidence. I'm single with 3+ years of experience and hope to leverage on the test. If u no practice for IELTS o boy na OYO go be ur case o, practice, practice, practice is the only hint on getting high scores

3. I have age discrepancies in several of my documents (criticism is allowed I really never knew by BD). My International Passport bears 28.08.1990 while my WAEC and BSc transcript contained 17.10.1988. I've been trying to stick with the age in my International passport for most international applications. Can someone please educate how to navigate these challenges.

Are we plenty waiting for 15 marks add come June 6 ?

This CIC sef, they don't like being clear. 15 marks for applicants sibling in Canada. What about spouses sibling? I read on Canada Visa that it's either applicants or spouses sibling, any thoughts? Good Pipu of Nairalandi

from my experience - i used both FD bank statements (not all my accounts cos the documents was to large and the least it could reduce up to was 6mb to still make sense- otherwise it wont be legible) - The letter from the bank was quite difficult and it may need you to escalate it to their manager or speak with your account officer. For my GTB account - the letter was quite impressive and the only information it did not have was the indemnity part which was issued using a separate letter - all bank balance was stated - date of opening was stated - average balance can be seen in the statement of account. The best way to request your reference letter from the bank is to go formal with them - i wrote a formal letter detailing info i wanted. Same thing for my other banks. Try as much as possible to get reference letter from the bank biko.

hakeemgp:
Good day beautiful people.

I will be grateful of someone shares the CIC address to send all correspondence post ITA to e.g. Work Reference Letters, POF and LOE.

Thanks for your time. Cheers.
