Brother are you certain work reference letter expires ? I should think these are historic documents.
Anybody wanna weigh in on this ?

Julie2018:
I doubt if the solution is declining. Read a thread online and it says I can raise a Case Specifc Enquiry to update information. My passport does not influence my points, that I am aware of. That’s why I need a contact number to reach CIC to bthe sure of what to do without speculating.

Anyone with a contact number for CIC!!!

threadstone:


The question is are you sure youre going to get an ITA within the next six months? What is your current crs estimate as you dont have ielts yet.
1 & 2 is possible to get but they have a time limit which shouldnt be more than three to six months to the day of submission else you'd have to procure another.

As for the pcc, you can get it in an hour or less. Officer Moshood has done Enough wonders for people in this thread.

Without sade further ado, i wish you good luck in your masters program. When you finish you can cross over to canada without visiting Nigeria sef.

Chill. Express entry can wait

Applications differ from one another but based on my experience, ref letters do not expire. 4 of the 6 ref letters i used (yea had to merge alot to get the 3yrs max) were gotten since 2014 and i did not get any ADR. However i got them all after i had left the companies.

HighBK:

Make necessary updates to your profile. If your score is higher than the lowest CRS point for the round (cut-off), then you are good. If it is lower, reject the ITA so you will be back in the pool.

Stumbled on Zandora's thread at page 420 and made sure i read every single one of it till date. It pays a lot to read.

Finally I can now also join the living in canada thread too.

Any questions.

threadstone:


Yeah i believe so but getting it while working at the same company will say something like 2014 to date, which i believe shouldn't be used for claiming experience later on after he/she has left the company. the circumstances surrounding the date of the reference letter will have changed.

dtaminator:


Not correct. We've trashed out this issue before. A birthday after you have received an ITA is exempt from CRS recalculation. You do not have to submit before the birthday.

Flaj:


Exemption to section A11.2: candidates whose birthday occurs after they receive an ITA
An applicant may have a birthday after they receive an ITA but before they submit their e-APR. Their change in age may lower their CRS score below the lowest score in the round of invitations. It may also result in the applicant no longer meeting the minimum requirements of the FSWC and, consequently, no longer meeting the MEC, resulting in a refusal based on section A11.2.

When a change in age results in the candidate no longer meeting the MEC or having their recalculated CRS points score fall below the lowest points score in that round of invitations, officers should consider applying the public policy to exempt applicants for permanent residence from certain age-based requirements between invitation to apply and application, based on section A25.2. This consideration can result in an exemption from the refusal of an application under section A11.2.

This public policy also grants an exemption to applicants who may be refused for failing to meet FSWC program requirements when their birthday occurs between the ITA and e-APR.

Good people of Nairaland and especially the London Squad....Glad to say that this journey of faith and patience has finally come to an end with PPR issued yesterday. My body is aching from all the leaping for joy I did when I received the mail

Flaj:

Sibling must have landed and be living in Canada to claim those points. Why not fill your profile with a No to that question and udate your profile when the sibling lands. PR card issuance doesn't take so long, plus you'd have to show sibling's utility bills to prove sibling is there

Congrats @threadstone

My humor antenna picked your humor signal at the bolded above

You re a clown, funny you!

It has definitely ended in praise for you.

Go, flourish and show them what you 've got that Naija never allowed to blossom .

Newmum0615:
This is what I copied from the attachment in my ITA message. Don't know where it all fits into this.

NOTE: If you had a birthday since we sent you this invitation, and the change to your age decreases your points
total, this will not cause us to refuse your application for permanent residence.

Ronnie1984:
Congratulations..

Julie2018:
Please I need help... my case is getting difficult. But God is involved. After receiving ITA about 3 weeks ago, I can’t find my passport. Please does anyone know what I can likely do concerning the changes that might be involved in my application. Is there a contact number I can reach the CIC on? And also any immigration office at the festac immigration office who can help speed the reissue. Please it’s very important. Thank you, God bless you as you assist.

happytbaby:
Maybe what Flaj quoted is an old stuff. The CIC maintains that your age is frozen after receiving ITA, I have come across that multiple times.

Blessedchild12:
Hi everyone.

Please I need advice.

I have received ITA but I just discovered an error. My Wes ECA report evaluated my law school as diploma which I didn't realise while I was entering the pool. I selected masters/professional degree which made my score higher. Now I realise I should have selected two or more degrees. Though my score will still be very high but not up to the present score. What should I do. Can I make changes even as I have recieved ITA.

dtaminator:


It isn't old stuff. People are just not getting the interpretion right.

It first says change in age after ITA that resulta in CRS lower than that of your draw should ordinarily be a case for refusal.

It then goes further to say that there is an exemption to age based CRS point recalculation that is covered by another section A25.2.

Simple interpretation is that age change after ITA won't affect your application.

Flaj:


Decline the invitation. Once ita is issued your scores are locked. Decline and update your profile.

Newmum0615:
You can actually. I collected mine a day before ITA landed on the 6th. I am not so sure if it expires but I will be using mine latest January ending.

Finally got my PUM this afternoon. I will be the first person at DHL tomorrow morning.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate.
