From what I have read on older posts, this may not mean the person is entirely in the clear.

Just got a response that my file is being processed at the London Visa Office. I am not even sure whether to laugh or cry.

Time to be patient.

Congrats to ITA and PPR recipients!!!

@dupyshoo has shed more light on the matter "combining more than one NOC to get max points for 3years" with this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/express-entry.asp I know we all have our opinion but would implore us to read this few lines from the link and share ideas to put this matter to bed ones and for all.

Please take note of the bolded in the article.


Foreign work experience

25 (1) For the purposes of sections 23 and 24, foreign work experience is work experience that

(a) is acquired by a foreign national outside Canada in one or more occupations listed in Skill Type 0 Management Occupations or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification matrix;
(b) consists of full-time work experience, or the full-time equivalent for part-time work experience, with one or more employers;
(c) is acquired within the 10-year period preceding the day on which points are assigned to the foreign national under section 23 or subsection 24(1); and
(d) is remunerated by the payment of wages or a commission.

Requirements

(2) In order to be assigned points under section 23 or 24 for their foreign work experience, a foreign national

(a) must specify in their expression of interest the four-digit code in the National Occupational Classification that corresponds to each of the occupations they have engaged in while accumulating their foreign work experience[/i]; and
(b) must have performed the actions described in the lead statement for the occupation as set out in the occupational descriptions of the National Occupational Classification, as well as a substantial number of the main duties, including all essential duties, as set out in the National Occupational Classification.

Well for my hubby we didn't get work reference letter for his current job because we didn't want to jeopardize his promotion. His office had victimized those that requested for in the past. We used his appointment letter, previous promotion letters and three most recent payslips.

For me, I started a new job after ITA so for that new job I used my appointment letter and explained that I was still in training in the LOE but I worked over 40 hours a week etc.

I am the PA and currently our application is on NA2 and no documents needed so it MAY have worked.

But bear in mind that for our previous jobs (me - over three years, hubby - over six years) we got proper work reference letters. And it was this previous job I used in getting ITA.

MRSDA:
Good morning friends....

E jo is it true that if you have a visa denial, you must fill Schedule A form upfront or you will get an ADR for it??

I've didnt know that o!

Canadianfly:


I still think she can be the better applicant. She can claim two or more certificates. For work experience she can maybe add NYSC. Do nurses do NYSC in Nigeria?

Anyway if she and hubby do ECA & IELTS with her being PA, they get circa 438. She'll get mad points for age than he will get for work experience. Except maybe when Skill transferability applies

Abby2017:
I think this worked because of the bolded, CIC figured you are still qualified for the draw that got you ITA even if your current work reference is excluded.
@ Primeson1, do you also have reference letter of 3years on other job(s)? and you will still be able to sleep well at night if those 6months without reference is excluded from your application.
Look out for guidance from other seniors that has scaled through with work experience without reference letter, what they submitted, and if geebaby10 document suffice.

Yewwygraceful:
Hello Dannio, are you sure? When did they start sending files to Accra? You are the only person i heard whose file was transferred to ACCRA or is it paperbased?

I am so sorry if i sound this way but just really surprised.

dupyshoo:
Is it possible to put a dummy PR number? Then you can include a letter in the general LOE section explaining your situation.

I was in a kinda situation as I had applied for Alberta PNP before years back and my application was returned as incomplete. I did not even get to see the returned form. I said "No" to all the statutory questions and when I was asked to submit a Schedule A form, I used that opportunity to explain the situation.

dannio:

Well it is what the call agent told me and l also met someone a Nigerian, on line too whose file is at Accra.Someone also a Nigerian,got PPR from Accra recently and his AOR was June 24th.

yimiton:
With your age and only a BSc, you'll need all the extra points you can get to help you get enough points that can get you an ITA.

1. Do you per chance have a diploma? I know some people get diplomas before direct entry into the university

2. Do you or your spouse have a sibling legally living in Canada?

3. Your spouse definitely needs to write IELTS, that 20 points is critical to you.

If your answer to questions number 1 and 2 are no, you need to ensure you get the English scores in number 4

4. You have to smash your IELTS, aim for L8.5 S7.5 W8 R8

When you've done all the above, you'll pray CRS comes down at some point. If it doesn't, you'll have to go through Provincial nomination.

I am so happy to have seen this thread on Canada immigration. I have been so worried and confused as I do not have anyone to direct me on the application process.

I am currently reading through the thread from page 1 but yet to even go far on the articles.

Things I have done.....

So far, I had created WES account. I have also submitted the application for immigration and made payment of like 322$.

I am currently following up with my institution (FUTO ) for my Certificate and transcript.

My hubby plan to request for his after WES has received my documentation.

But Please I have some clarifications and need assistance.

At what point , would I indicate that am primary applicant.
* When I receive my certificate, can anyone assist me with contact of any one in Canada I can scan my certificate to so the person will assist me to mail to WES as I do not know anyone in Canada currently.
*After my documentation is received, what next.
*At what point would I be required to specify my job experiences as I didn't see where to include that when I filled out application for to WES.

Thank you all. May God answer all applicants with great and amazing responses.

HI, what's your time line?

Tomiccell:
Quick question house.

I booked my IELTS exam for Saturday 11 November. I have heard that speaking comes about a week before the date you book, in my case which might fall on Saturday 4 November. That Saturday will be an issue for me.

Please is this a given? Or can i speak with British council to schedule my speaking for a weekday during the week of the 11th, or any day after i have written LRW?

slimmy2005:
Please, has anyone here from Uniport evaluated their transcript through WES?

Iruosonobrugwhe:

Guys please on planning... the way further,
What is the best way to convert funds from naira to Canadian dollars and also open an account in canada /transfer the funds into canada.

manlikegb:




@Tomiccell, yes it is possible. I've asked this question there before and was told to send an email to an email address given to me. However, since I have sent the email, I have not heard anything from them and I'm hoping they have received and treated it. Anyways, I'm planning to visit their office again to make sure they follow up with the request so I don't get surprised when the exam dates come out. So my advice is, visit their office.
