Happy holidays.

Please I need small clarification/confirmation.

I raised a CSE to include scanned copies of my ECA and IELTS result. I just got an e-mail response saying that the documents have been received and sent to the responsible office. Just to confirm, is that an okay response? Is there any need to do anything further?

Come on, Geeworldwide!
It's as okay and right as Gru's minions singing kumbayah.

We all told you that's what's gonna happen. That your you'll be informed when your docs are received and your processing will proceed.

Kontagious:

Abi I lie Senior Resident Data Analyst. Elders sef will follow torchlight the matter.

Yes, that's just a yuuhhhuge exaggeration. Very yyyuuhuuge.

I have just created a whatsapp group for lawyers, send me a PM if you are interested

just sent you a PM. So how do we get other lawyers especially those in canada already to join the group because their input will be of immense value

cochtrane:

In order to not jeopardize your chances, don't ask him for consent. Instead, inform him you are making a move to claim full custody of the child and get a lawyer to tell him this. Have the lawyer arrange all the documents for him to sign. Effectively, he'll be "giving consent" this way without knowing. Don't mention Canada to him. Else he may just decide to frustrate your plans.

In summary, make a move to legally obtain full custody of your kid.

Ehen! See correct advise. �

"Okay response". This is the response that you have been waiting for. Now you can relax

This should be for single applicants as the max you can get for married applicant is 128 perhaps if your spouse writes you'll get the extra 20 points. If not max with the above score is 128 points.

I don't think so. Whether married or not, you can get higher points on your own by increasing the bands to what he recommended.

Hello good people,

Please i need some clarification.
I want to take the next IELTS exam in september, however my passport is still in my maiden name and i have been married for 6 years plus.
1. Will i be able to change my passport post IELTS to my Married name? if yes, please hare a reference.
If no does this mean my PR will be issued on my passport with my maiden name and i will be usingh my maiden name for all documentation when i get to canada.

Please is there any one that has experienced this, please share.

regards

Hello Guys,

Late post, was banned when I posted my PPR Update, but well here it is anyways . . .

For Guys writing IELTS, don't take it for granted. It is your key to getting a high score.

Gift Deed Affidavit can be used, regardless of how long the money has stayed in your account, Utilize your LOE well. . . Maybe it's Favor or not, It worked for me.

The spirit of waiting and patience is key. I battled with these for long, but pray to be filled with the Spirit of Positive Mindset, this will help tame the doubting Thomas and the negative "What Ifs" that will make you Worry.

Thanks @40manlappy @Mummyjaygirls and everyone who assisted in every measure, #ItsAllEndingInPraise

Congrats dear on your PPR. You just inspired me with the spirit of positive mindset, I pray for the same myself. I've really been worried about plenty 'what ifs' but I know my God of awesome wonders will not fail me

I hope you've put this theory to test? Let me comment my real reserve
In case you didn't know, you get more points If you're a single applicant or if you have an unaccompanying spouse as opposed to married folks with accompanying spouses.
Please use the CRS tool.

Hi,
Am also waiting for Ado response to verification. The person I called said I should wait for 3weeks. By next week it should be 3weeks for me. Its the hard copy mail sent by WES thru Posting they work with.

You will pay 5k as well for the verification.
Once they have it, they will respond via email first before posting a response letter via courier.

I am also waiting. So relax

eyoiba:
Good evening everyone, please I'm in a dilemma and need assistance. This is a little long but kindly bare with me. I'm doing ECA for my wife and we're stuck at verification stage. My wife's institution is Federal Polytechnic AdoEkiti. Transcript has been sent to wes and already acknowledged. Her transcript process was super fast and I was surprised at the level of the school's transcript processing speed and ease. Her status has changed to "awaiting verification from your institution" since 17th August but that's where the challenge started.

I have contacted the institution and was told that they have not seen any mail from WES. Infact almost all the school's emails have been checked without success. From the way one of their staff spoke, it's like verification is always sent through surface mail which sometimes take weeks before arriving at the school. Then the school replies through surface mail back to wes. The staff however promised to check another email of the school next week but I doubt if they will see anything.

I went back to wes website and I saw where they said they also use regular mail depending on the verifiable channel of communication that an institution use. My challenge however is that I paid for the regular mail option when I registered for her ECA which is not reliable as I never envisaged that the school will use surface mail for correspondence.

Please house I need your help. What should be my next course of action?
(1) Should I contact wes and pay additional money for courier and is this possible? How will I go about it?
(2)Has anyone ever had experience with Fed Poly AdoEkiti and if yes how did you go about it?
(3) Any other advice or suggestions?

I had to use WES because they give higher points for OND/HND.

I am the principal Applicant and I need the points she will add to my score.

Thanking you in advance for replies.

You score is almost good enough. However, you need get atleast 8 in listening but got 7.5. Resit for the .5 or go for clb 10(LRWS -9888 I think) that gives you extra 12 point) Do you have masters or 2 degrees evaluated? That gives 50 point with combination good english.

Lastly, hubby doesn't have to have that so high score except he want to be principal applicant as well.. guses base score of 6s will give some point although the higher the point added upto 20 I tink. Spouse ECA could also earn you just anothwr 10 point.

[1quote author=nnekdre post=60031732]Hello, everyone pls I need your advice I am married with my ielts scores of LSRW 7.5,8,7,8. Hubby doesn't want to write the ielts and I don't think he will do well in it. Please where else can I get additional Mark for someone going with a spouse thanks. I'm yet to submit my EE[/quote]

Dewys1:
Good people of nairaland, I need your counsel. So I am about to start ECA for wifey. Now the issue.
1. We got married in 2014, but we later found out that the marriage certificate we were given was a Local govt own and thus we may not be able to travel with it.
2. With the new status, wifey obtained her international passport in 2015 bearing the new surname
3. In 2016 we went to Federal marriage registry Ikoyi to have a registry wedding where we got the federal certificate.
4. Now the issue is this: she has started bearing the new surname on her intl passport before the wedding date on the federal certificate.

I hope that will not cause an issue with the ECA and most importantly with the CIC application.

Pls help to dissect

cc: 40Manlappy and co

not a problem,
In my case,when I applied for study permit, my newspaper and affidavite change of name were in the previous year(cos that was when I did church) , and mi passport current year(earlier part of the year) but mi court wedding was the most recent, in fact 2wks to my application. Those were the documents I used didn't include church as I thought court supercedes that. I hope this helps!

Hello house,

Got our pick up mail for our stamped passport, family of 4. some few questions I would like to ask,

1. What is the best way of carrying money to canada(entire money)

2. We will be leaving by October to winnipeg, what are we to expect.

3. Are there any vaccination we need to do before leaving.

4. We have a 2 years old daughter and a 7 month old son any idea of how we can manage them through this long journey?

5. We plan on carrying food items with us, any advice on the best way to do this.

I will really need the input of the house.

Thanks

Why doesn't she just go to a high court and get an affidavit that she's a single parent? She can then upload it with the child's birth certificate. I believe that'll put an end to the uncertainties right?

On another case, a child born outside wedlock is referred to as a bastard in law? Wow, that's deep.

Ajujuju2:


Brotherly, I applaud your research skills but trust me... U knw nothing about this one. And i say this with love.

Unless there was a marriage or a co-habitation (living together and acting as married for a few years as to cause reasonable belief that there existed a legal relationship which u knw as comon law marriage) there exists no obligation on both parties.

Her relations with baby daddy no matter how long or short will only just be an affair even if they were engaged and then broke it off. Therefore she is SINGLE in every sense of the word.

Even a child born outta wedlock whose parents later marry is still regarded as a bastard under family law...Yes, the law can b funny and CIC knows not to meddle in personal affairs. I bliv her application on the face of it (and with the little information she has provided) is straightforward.

But ofcos this isnt a law school... and am sure we can argue all ways to support our views.

IF CIC WANTS THEY CAN ASK FOR ADR ON STATUS OF FATHER BUT CANNOT REFUSE HER APPLICATION BECAUSE THERE IS NO CONSENT LETTER.

esosa4real:



Lolz! Yeah soon n very soon!

I have sent u a pm for the WhatsApp group

Congratulations! I believe you have family in Winnipeg and that's why you've chosen to go there, otherwise, I'd have questioned your decision being that Manitoba is arguably the coldest region in Canada.

Hello house,

Got our pick up mail for our stamped passport, family of 4. some few questions I would like to ask,

1. What is the best way of carrying money to canada(entire money) if you must carry it as cash, let your husband have some in his person while you'll carry the rest but please declare it before you leave and also when you land. It's not a crime to carry more than $10,000 but it's a crime not to declare it.

2. We will be leaving by October to winnipeg, what are we to expect. cold, cold and more cold. It won't be as bad as when real winter sets in but coming from Nigeria, it will be bad enough. I don't know where to get winter coats but you'll need them so much especially for your babies. Pls if anyone knows where to get winter coats in Nigeria, weigh in.

3. Are there any vaccination we need to do before leaving. vaccinations are not required but carry your babies vaccination cards,you'll need them when you arrive

4. We have a 2 years old daughter and a 7 month old son any idea of how we can manage them through this long journey? make sure they're as comfortable as possible. Carry duvet along on the plane. You'll need it during the layover. Carry snacks that they like and something to keep them entertained like this iPads with their favorite vedios downloaded, then pray they don't get cranky

5. We plan on carrying food items with us, any advice on the best way to do this. Canada understands that people are relocating and will take time to adapt, so bring food items is normal. Ensure you dry things as much as possible. Like the fish, bitter leaf, beans should be in zip lock and wrapped with newspapers, then label them

I will really need the input of the house.

Thanks

Congratulations

Kids just ensure their vaccination is up to date. U can take malaria prophylaxis and also take some along.

4. We have a 2 years old daughter and a 7 month old son any idea of how we can manage them through this long journey? their favorite toys, tablet, cartoon downloaded on ur phones. Scribble books and pencil or crayons. Carry diapers and change of clothes, food. Request for child meals on ur airline. At least 48 hrs before travel and also request for a bassinet now sef. And board on time den tell d hostess as soon as u board. because it's first come first serve. And if u request ur bassinet now ur seat will b changed to a seat with bassinet if there's still one available

Good morning Guys!!
My little bro stays with me and my husband, he is above 18 (22years). is there any way he can be added to our application? if we choose not to leave him behind. If yes, what documents do I need to present.

Thanks

No

Yes, I used LG marriage certificate.

Hephgirl:
Wait
Is local government marriage certificate accepted. Has anyone used this?

It doesn't necessarily have to be in NOC C category. I worked in customer service but some of my responsibilities fell under NOC 1241 (I think, ADMIN Assistant) which I used for my application.

Petrelli112:
I just saw this thread, please can someone with a 4 years experience in customer service also without a masters degree, just B.Sc apply?

Good advice, winter.

When did you raise the CSE and when was your AOR? I raised one to include my spouse's IELTS on Wednesday and the only mail I've received so far is the automatic response. My AOR is 23rd of August.

Looks like it's time for your little bro to get a job and apply on his own. In the western world, 22 isn't so little.

I know and I have put it to test. I have an accompanying spouse. I got the minimum cut off which gave me 438. If I had gotten the maximum, I would have had 458 and then he would still give me additional 20 points meaning I would have gotten 478. I checked and rechecked.

My sister, you have absolutely nothing to worry about here. You can change your name post Ielts. We've had a case of one who changed post AOR! ugoiyke79e (I think), she submitted her new passport post AOR and got PPR about three weeks after she did.

1. I don't think paying additional money will change the channel of communication between your school and WES. The courier fee is for your hardcopy report.

3. I suggest you wait out 14working days then contact your link again. Verification request sent via standard mail won't get to your school earlier than that. Follow-up is key.

All the best.

Hey people, I didn't do well in ielts. LRSW 5,4.5,7,6 (overall 6). However, hubby as the PA has 8 in listening which brings our score to 461. Is there any need for me to write the test again and hope it won't affect us?

Anybody with similar experience in the house?
There's no point you guys can get ITA with that.
