Good day everyone,
Please a quick question, will appreciate your kind advise.
I served in a Federal Ministry during NYSC, how best do I capture this employment under personal history (I am tempted to have it as internship, although I was given a job title and all) to avoid it going through the long winded process of checking up Government employment. Technically I wasn't a civil servant in the grand scheme of things, but I am a bit skeptical because anyone looking at the details will consider it government employment, going by the name of the organisation. I am not claiming points for this, just for personal history.
Many thanks

Please I saw leter must include ''All the account numbers of the customer in the bank, with the date each account was opened, the current balance on each account and the average balance on each account for the past six months'' in the letter.

If I have more that 1 account but want to use only one of them for POF, is there still need to send details of the other accounts am not using to show POF.

It wont have any negative effect putting all the accounts there, why not just add it.i personally think it is more believable when u av more than one account.

Long Post Alert.

The Beginning
PPR Mail
PPR mail showed up on March 15 directly in myCIC account. I checked my application EVERYDAY (even on weekends) for the entire 140days post-AOR but the day it came I was away, so I couldn’t check until I got the email alert on my phone. I had thought it was another ADR as both ADR and PPR mails are always titled ‘Request Letter” on the CIC account. My advice for LVO candidates especially, is to get a life and avoid any form of expectation that the PPR is going to come soon. Get busy doing something and don’t plan around the time you will travel because LVO will surely take its time. My expectation was to receive PPR latest in December 2017, but it came Three months later so its best to get busy with something else while waiting. However, without prejudice to the foregoing, no matter how long your application has taken with a visa office, one thing is certain, you will surely get your PPR as long as you meet the requirements, and nothing is misrepresented in your application.


Massive Congratulations!

QSola:


According to the website it takes 8weeks from the day your transcript gets to them. But most times you get your report in less than 4 weeks.

Thank you. Basically most of us go for WES for lack of info on other options.

Long Post Alert.

The Beginning
When I started this journey in 2013 I applied for Study Visa and was refused based on the fact that the Visa officer thought I was unable to prove the source of the funds I was using as Proof of Funds. I was a little naïve in the visa application process at the time and although I applied myself, I tidied the application to the best of my knowledge but we all know that these visa officers do their best to weed people out based on any available excuse. Fast forward to 2014 I re-applied again this time with a better story and tuition paid upfront and was again rejected on the basis that I was unable to prove that I had sufficient funds to pay for tuition and survive without working in Canada. I was infuriated wondering where the visa officer left his glasses being that I had paid the tuition in full and attached the relevant receipts. Of course, I appealed, and nothing was done so I retained the services of an Immigration Lawyer I once met at a conference, did an affidavit and forwarded to him to appeal on my behalf. To cut the long story short I won and was later issued the visa, but I never travelled with the study visa, I guess the delay made me realise that I really didn’t want to travel on a student visa and as a single man.

IELTS
I joined the express entry thread in July 2017 after I enrolled for IELTS, for those still writing IELTS I believe the secret to acing it is to determine your strengths and weaknesses. For me, I didn’t have to practice Speaking, writing and Reading; they came to me naturally, but the listening bit was the mountain to surmount as I had to write it twice. Spend more time on the modules you are not naturally attracted to and work on areas of improvement. Some will require one week to practice depending on the areas of improvement while others may not get a grip of it until after a month.



Big congratulations..greater things ahead

Hello all,

In the bid to claim more point i have decided to add my NYSC work experience to my years of experience. The problem is i served in Gboko Benue state and i cant possibly go back their for work reference letter, if i get someone who has a company and is also willing to issue me a reference letter as at my service date and i can back it up with my account statement where my allawee was paid will this be acceptable by CIC?

I must say You all are doing a great job.

This is fraudulent to say the least. If you are not willing to make sacrifices for your benefit this early on in the process, how much more packaging will you do as the process continues? If you can't make the effort to travel to get the letter or get someone to do it in your PPA on your behalf, then forget claiming the points for it. We are all here to encourage sincerity in this journey IMO

By all means i don't want to. But where i served is one of the most backwards states in the country. There's no assurance that i'll get the reference letter as i got information the school packed up. please do you know if i could just attach my dispatch letter to the school and back it up with my account statement.

So does it means that 11 months of Nysc can be calculated as 1 years(coy didn't want to include camp month)

stonecoldcafe:


You have gone on and on about this question. Why not do what's truly in your mind and give yourself peace. If you feel like declining the ITA, please do. 450 is a high score anyway.You'll probably get invited again in the next round.


In my case, by March 5, I clocked 2 years at my current job. I had 1 year at a previous job.I got into the pool February ending with the exact months I'd worked which was like 2 years and 11 months. I had it in mind I'll update my profile by March 5th to reflect 3 years.

Guess what, same day CIC calculated my score with 3 years. End of story.

I understand your fear though, mine was a matter of days while yours is 3 months. Please follow your heart[/s]

My dear you are not the first to have such issues and you won't be the last. Cutting corners and falsifying documents is not the way forward. Many people have had to wait for 1 full year before proceeding just to get the work experience.

Dispatch letter and account statement will not be enough as they don't contain alot of the required information (e.g. job duties, work hours, etc.)

Thank you all and God bless as you answer my questions.

Continue reading the thread. All the questions you have asked have been answered numerous times:

1. Start by reading page 0 (also page 0 of part 2) and calculating your projected CRS

2. This depends on your projected CRS score without the Ielts and ECA of your wife

3. She does not need to change her maiden name at all sef. I would even advise you continue with it as it is and later in Canada she can change her surname if she desires

4. Aim for the highest score possible and nothing less than 8777 in LRSW
