You have similar interest in documents for self employed like I do. What is your AOR and current status? I am sitting at NA2 now since November.

Oh i am yet to enter the pool. You mean you use personal account for your business and that was what you submitted?. Someone told me it make one land in LVO. Please which other documents did you submit for your self employed?

talk2jt:
I know right. If I get NOI from OINP, I'll just go for it.

that's okay too but when did you enter the pool? this year or last? if last year, withdraw your EE and re-enter again. I noticed ONIP favours people that recently entered the pool. Best of luck.

Hello everyone,

Please I have some questions.

1. when filling the address history in the personal section, do I fill in law school hostel address for the period I was in law school ? (also do I fill in off campus addresses for university periods)

2. Also under the address section, for travel periods, do I fill the details of hotels stayed, etc? or I shouldn't bother separating travel periods here?

Thanks

abeg na

I have done that already. Created a new profile on the 22nd of January. Thank you.

Hi Guys,

What is happening to CIC? The crs draw scores are not going down like early 2017. I'm at 427 and I'll be 422 end of February. I don't even understand what OINP is doing, this their new system of NOI is just somehow. I must to land in Canada this year o...Holding on tight. Okay bye. Just needed to rant a bit.

Scores didn't crash in 2017 till April

KayVann:
I was also asked to provide tax clearance for my business for which I had not remitted tax, I payed for the 3 years on the same day after an ADR was requested for, i have my gotten my ppr. So to answer your question, I don't think it matters as long as you can provide your TCC.

Where you ask to pay FINE for failing to pay your taxes over the years. I know each state is different, I just needed clarification.

Contact WES and explain your ordeal

@bigfido i want to claim 3 yrs of self employed but i am yet to pay for my personal tax for the 3 years in question. If i pay it now, will it be obvious to cic that i just made the tax payment or it doesnt matter.

Ok. I thought you were in the pool already. However, I submitted my POF with my personal account and made a Fixed deposit of the exact amount in CAC expected/require fund (The highly fluctuating USD and CAD is scaring the shit out of me ). I didn't include my corporate account. For work experience I submitted reference letters from clients (3), contract letters, CAC docs and receipts of payments for job done along with checks (photocopies kept) issued. I am worried about TCC as I don't have that now. I believe that as a Business Enterprise you get your TCC from your state inland revenue service in form of Personal Income Tax Cert. and not FIRS which is for Limited Liability companies. (I stand to be corrected on this...)
From trends so far, I believe my application should either be in CIO Sydney (I prayerfully hope not... ) or in LnVO (London Visa Office, God help me!).
In respect of @bigfido and @boss13 experiences, TCC, Business/Corporate SA and pictures are what I left out. Lets see how it goes if I am going to get any ADR for these
I hope other persons applying as Self-Employed learn and obtain valuable info from all these. It will surely end in praise and all to the glory of God.

flosk:


Oh i am yet to enter the pool. You mean you use personal account for your business and that was what you submitted?. Someone told me it make one land in LVO. Please which other documents did you submit for your self employed?

My younger sis timeline as it might be useful to some people :

AOR - Sept 27th
Medical Passed - Oct 14th
NA1 - Oct 14th
IP1 - Oct 14th
NA2 - Oct 16th
Received the "You are now a candidate for Canada" letter - Nov 22nd
Transferred to LVO - Nov 23rd
Request for GCMS - Jan 12th
GCMS note received - Jan 26th (GCMS note showed that nothing was done on her application from 23rd of Nov till 26th Jan, only criminality and medicals were passed, eligibility and security were yet to be done)
IP2 - Jan 26th
PPR - Feb 1st.

No ADR was asked.

For her POF, she included gift deed (for small percentage of the total amount), letter from work place cooperative and copy of cheque that she received from the cooperative, 6 months bank statements, FD certificate and she wrote a detailed letter of explanation and a table explaining her POF.

For employment reference, she included letter from her work place and 3 payslips.

She was working while she was doing her MSc. full time. The visa officer did not have any issue with that.

She was rejected a UK visitor visa once. She did not complete Schedule A. She just put details of the visa refusal.

These are the few things we were concerned about. All other things were pretty straightforward.

Congratulations to your sister.

Eees not fair o as all of you want to leave this country, na so some people we know are not only carrying their family members join body but also their colleagues at work. God help all of us.

Congratulations once again. Make una get supervisas for the grandparents o make dem no dey miss una too much.

Hello all,

Silent reader, Active applicant here.

First, thanks to all who started this and share their experiences on here. And yes, I started from Page 0, Thread 1 sef.

So I have a challenge that I am hoping someone else may have dealt before or maybe get advice on how to proceed.

Some background: my missus is the primary applicant ( She's got a Masters degree, I don't) and based on her CRS score of 449, we got an ITA, Nov 15 last year. Currently, we have all documents uploaded,Medical forms, References, POF docs, Police report (had to travel to Kenya to get mine as well as I lived there for a bit) etc. However, my first IELTS score expired Dec 16th ( After we received the ITA) and the earliest date I was able to get for a new test was for today Feb 1st. Writing this just as I get back to my desk at work. The Missus and I actually both wrote the test in 2015 December but while I had the right scores then, she fell short in one area (Writing I think) by 0.5. but we got in the pool circa April 2016 ( ECA Delays cos of UNILAG) Lets just say she finally summoned courage to do the test again in October last year and finally got the right scores at end of October leading to the Nov ITA cutoff of 439

So fast forward to today.The deadline for submission for our ITA is Feb 14 ( more like midnight on Feb 13) and from what was announced today, the IELTS results will only come out on Feb 14th. Now without my score, Madam's CRS drops to 436 which is below the CRS cutoff that we got our ITA. However, if she takes me out as " Non-Accompanying" it will be 445. Fact is I'm not immediately planning to relocate anyways but concerned that if we go this route, there may be drama down the line if/when I try to get a visa to Canada. So, having endured a number of sleepless nights on this, I feel that these are my options

1. Submit application anyway immediately with my expired IELTS test results and update it once the new test result comes out on the 14th of Feb.(I'm fairly confident that I will have reasonable scores) . I have seen on the CIC website that you can update your details even after applying in cases of things like expired results

2. Wait till the morning of 13th Feb and pray the IELTS results comes out earlier than the advertised date( I don't know if this happens though). Madam is a bit scared of this option though ( What if their server crashes? What if their are issues with Payment platform? What if Donald Trump takes over Canada and builds a wall)

3. Decline ITA and wait for next favourable draw. Note though that Madam will lose 5 points in June so CRS will now drop from 449 to 445. What if the CRS doesn't fall again. This is also like my least favoured option o. Even my liver is reaching out to "konk" my head for thinking of this?

4. Take me out as "Non-Accompanying" and have her apply with the kids at the 445 score, hope they get the PR status, then start hustling a regular Canadian Visa after they do. Note that I would need to go with them for a few weeks when relocating to settle them in before coming back to the hustle in the "Obodo Naija"

So this is my dilemma...will appreciate any advice from the house generally or anyone who's been in this sort of scenario.

Again, thanks to everyone making this thread a source of information and inspiration on this journey.

Now you can simply apply for canada permanent visa by click here get canada pr from india

Let me make an attempt.

Option 4 : No way!

Option 3: Possible...but let others weigh in on what I have to say on options 1 & 2

Option 2: Report does not come out earlier than advertised but what if we look at the time zones. Also you will need to scan the TRF and you will not have it yet. Is it Feb 14 that they wrote on your profile or 13 (for expiry of ITA)? Will you be able to open office with British Council staff on the morning of 14th? Although I would not want an 11th hour thing whereby you will be rushing and may experience issues like debit card not working. I hate to be under pressure like that.

Option 1: This is the one I prefer. Submit the expired TRF, submit an LOE stating that you have written another one and will update as soon as result is out. Add evidence that you wrote another one. When the result is released, raise CSE, write an LOE again detailing the issues, recalculate the CRS based on the new scores, apologize profusely, state that your CRS still meets the minimum score for your cut-off and add the new TRF. How many points did your IELTS contribute to Madam's CRS? For your narrative, it looks like 3points, I am thinking that is impossible. Please state your current scores.

Newmum0615:
Last last, I will injure you.

Hi everyone pls is there an investment route for canadian pr ? Asking for a friend, or it's only through EE

If you're sure that your CRS will remain 445 if you add the new IELTS. I'll say decline the ITA.
445 is a high score to receive ITA in this month of February.

Meanwhile, I won't advice that madam declare you as unaccompanying, after adding you as accompanying initially. VO may look into the reason for editing profile and may think its because of the high score.

Let others try.

I pray God directs you on the best possible option to take.
