Hi Winter check this link, it is specifically stated that you can add a family member after a visa is issued but before obtaining permanent residence status.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp

How you do it is what i am not sure of but you can fill the additional information form and raise a cse, send a mail to Ottawa as well. I think you should go ahead and pay the fee for your baby, submit medical report and bio data page of your baby's passports as well.

Pls house I need a second opinion on the 1st question.

Thanks

@kontagious ..thanks for the response ..he will definitely take ielts n do his eca...is 456 a good move for the pool..as its been called

Thus far, over good de worry 456. You will as a fact get 468 if you score 8.5, 8, 7.5, 7.5 and him 8777 in LRWS.

I hope this helps someone.

My first set of questions on this thread were ECA (WES) related - if I could use a post office address, and how safe was selecting the standard shipping option. I asked just so I won't hear ECA hard copy got lost in transit and of course cost cutting for the other. I was applying for two ECAs, difference in the two shipping options was netting N45k.

Trust, responses came making me opt for p.o.box and standard shipping. Glad to say, the choices paid off. Hard copies of the ECA picked today - less than a month from receipt of soft copies. The hard copies could have been in the box for a while as we don't get to check the box that often.

To reiterate, future applicants can save some money selecting standard shipping. It will be delivered to your post office box or home address. We’ve had several posts comfirming delivery to home addresses as well, though your ECA hard copy has possibility of getting lost in transit with the standard shipping option.

Wow! You must get a minimum of CLB 9 bro!

I know you know but for the poster to ask about validity period of ECA, s/he might as well need to know that of the IELTS. You get?

Then confirmation of additional degree after the ECA was completed will also decide re-validating the ECA or not.

I understand, bro

Hello,

thank you for this forum,
I started the FSW application in 2014, I did my medicals in 2015, I sent in my POF and police report twice 1st in 2015 and again in 2016.

In july I got a mail saying that I did not qualify because they requested for POF and police report in april 2017 and I did not respond, but I did not receive such mail.

Now I want to apply for the express entry, can I still use my WES assessment or do I have to do it again?

You should take them to court. i have read other similar cases like yours and the applicant won the case with ppr

Hi,
is there a way to speed up WES evaluation cos my status on WES says "Your evaluation report review is in progress, and will be due on the 24th of sept". I want to jump into the pool today and its only my WES evaluation report that is pending.

PS: 1. I have sent them numerous fax and no response
2. the WES is for UK masters {all I have been accepted by WES) just the report remaining

I am just tired..

Good day all,

Please I need clarifications in sending the copy of my degree certificate to WES.
I understand my school will send the transcripts to WES, which I have already started.

Concerning the copy of my degree certificate, will I send it via post to WES or by Email?

I appreciate your help on this matter

Thanks

yimiton:
We did an analysis in a whatsapp group that I am and noticed that aside from the visa processing office, most people that experienced the delay had been denied entry visas. That seemed to be a contributing factor.

Really? (at boldened). Please be kind enough to tell me more

I don't think there's much you can do to speed up the process at this stage but, it's however very likely you'd receive the ECA before the stated date.

On another note, next draw will likely be on the 20th, hopefully you would have received your soft copy before or just on the day.

For your EE Profile, what you need is ECA reference number and date. To get the reference number, just add IMM to your WES application reference number (with no space in between). For the date, I am lost on what to advice.

Best advice I can think of is you wait to receive the ECA, maximum draw you'd miss (that's if you'd miss any at all) is just 1. Please wait for your ECA.

GlitteringStar:


I don't know whether there is a drop-down menu to choose BSc or you have to enter it

But, the question is hope you didn't choose a program of 2 years (from the drop-down menu if any) instead of BSc?

How did you enter your BSc details?

oh ok, i chose bsc or 3yrs study and above(something like that sha)

@kissoflife
i had LRSW 8, 6.5 8, 7
right amount of funds was selected.

i guess i shuld create a dummy application wit 8777 and see what happens.

Please send via fax. It's fast and cost you just a few mb of your data. The Wes Canada fax number is +1 416-972-9004.
Google hellofax. Your certificate will get to WES in minutes.

July 31st

Wow... That is a long time for a UK Masters.

my advice is to just wait since they have given you an estimated date, just be calm. You have waited this long, a few more days would not hurt.

.. ooh well

sorry I am still reading back log of the thread so I dont know if this has been treated yet, hoping it has so it can help someone else. @mrsda if you have a firstbank mastercard just walk in and tell them u want to raise your limit. theirs is currently $1,100 a month. dont know how much it can be raised to but they said if u need it raised u should request for it.

bigfido:

Nogen:


Doing both though. A moniker here contacted me via my whatsapp to reopen my EE application. Use my fees wisely. What I know is that i will be in Cannyland studying soon either as a Permanent resident or International student.

I am only waiting for IELTS results now, i wrote last Saturday. Every other thing is ready .

Hello people, does one get penalized for stopping before the examiner asks one to stop during the IELTS speaking test.

seniors in the house.urgently need your advise

I recently requested for my fbi police certificate which took them almost 3 months to process and mailed out to a usa address.unfortunately i am yet to receive this in the mail due to hurricane and flooding crisis in the usa state(usps stopped delivery for over a week,full postal operations just started sept 4th).although post delivery has commence but i am still yet to receive it.

I have asked fbi to send me a copy to a new usa address,which hasnt been reposted yet.

My question is i have exceeded the 30days given by cic as well as the additional 60days grace to submit this fbi report.

I have emailed cic 2 seperate times asking for more time and no response from them.

What is the best step to take?

I am thinking of printing out all my email correspondence with fbi and sending to accra via courier.

No - you wouldn't be penalized. Unfortunately, you will be graded based on how much you said in that "short" time and how much of it made sense.

The advise we've received on this thread is to keep talking (as long as it makes sense) until you are asked to stop. It's safer that way.

All the best!
