Thanks. I already checked the NPC website but it's been down since morning. But your response is very fine for me. Spouse has the NPC cert, and his sibling is a man so no need for marriage cert.

God bless you.

Hello all,

I just paid for spouse's ECA with ICES, but prior to paying, I didn't upload her student copy of her school's transcript, because it's not ready yet, but what's giving me major concern now is that her certificate isn't ready, but she has a statement of degree results, and I sent an email to ICES asking if this can suffix and they said no..what to do?

So I had my medicals yesterday at IOM Ikeja, Lagos. The whole process from entering the premises to exit took about 2hours 30minutes.

This is not a long post.

I was around Isaac John on Thursday so I decided to walk in and find out why I haven't gotten a response to my mail requesting for an appointment. All my efforts at calling was futile.

So I got to the gate and the security asked if I had an appointment. Told them I only came to make enquiries. They asked which country (Canada, Australia or UK). I was given a tag and signed in on the register. Got to the reception and asked to be given an appointment at the earliest possible date. The lady said I can actually do the medicals it right away! Well, she said I had to go down the road to make payment at standard chartered bank first before I start and the whole medical process is going to take couple of hours from start to finish. She gave me a piece of paper containing all info needed. ( Amount to pay, bank details, docs required, the processes etc etc). Anyway, I didn't have enough time to spare so I got booked for the next day being Friday. I went down the road to the bank, made the payment - 41,400.00 (1 adult applicant) and got my copy as proof of payment required. ( Note, you can make a transfer to their bank account, but the receptionist says it takes 2 to 3 days before they can confirm the payment. So if your appointment is not close by, you can make a transfer and print out the receipt before your date . IOM opens by 7:30am

On the appointed day, i got there about 7:30am. At the gate house, the security asked some questions to ensure i have all the documents required. They'll tick your name on the list, then you sign in and you'll be given a tag with a number. They attend to people according to this number. It is serial.

First, i got to the building just after the gate house. Here physicals are done and vitals are taken.( Height, weight, Bp, Eye test reading chart). I was given a form to fill and a container for urine sample. When you're done, you'll be directed to the main building.

We sat at the waiting room. A mix of UK, Canada, Australia. The nurses will come to call the tag numbers serially and according to the country. Also the registration officers will come to collect passport, proof of payment and the form you were given to fill at the first building. They collect it serially as well. You get called by the nurses first or registration officers.

At the nurse station, they asked series of questions and ticked the form they have as i answered. I was then directed to the collection room where blood sample was taken. I also gave them the urine sample at this point.( There is a toilet for you to peepee).

At the registration area, you sign the consent form and receipt that will be given to you for the payment you made. They filled my details on the system, took a picture of me and printed the form for me to cross check that my details were captured correctly. This is the information sheet you'll take home for upload. From here I was directed to the x-ray waiting area.

At the x-ray area. You are called one after the other. When inside, you are asked to pick a changing gown and remove everything you have waist up. Yea, including bra . There's a changing room for this. When you come out, you then proceed to the proper room where the x-ray is done after some breathing in and out exercise. When you're done and changed back to your clothes, you're directed upstairs to see a doctor.

Upstairs, you sit at the waiting area till the doc calls You in. Here the doc still asks same questions the nurses already asked just to confirm what they already ticked on the form. You'll then proceed to the physical exam table. You'll be given another changing gown to UnCloth down to to your undies If it's a male doc and you're female, he'll ask if you want a female nurse to be present. After all the tickling acrobatics, you're left to dress up. You'll then proceed back to the waiting area while the doc examines your x-ray. The doc comes back to call you in again and tell you to go as everything is all clear and your results will be uploaded in 2-3 working days.

You can request for your test result to be sent to you of you're from outside of Lagos. Lagos residents are asked to come back and collect theirs

I exited the building around 10:20am

My NOC fall on type C attached is details of my skills. Do I still stand a chance of proceeding with Express entry as I have a CRS of 462.

ontarioissauga:

That is tm the school should sent both transcript and statement of results to ICES. Right? Tested?

ontarioissauga:

Great. As to book an appointment isn't working all the time. What documents wld one need to carry on for on-the-spot examination?
Passport
Cash.. 41,400NGN
Passport photo
Photocopy of passport biopage?

ontarioissauga:

Statement of result goes to WES. ICES asks for certificates mostly. Ask for a refund if it is possible. This still buttresses reading the thread thingy.

The names of the parents of bride and groom is usually written on marriage caertificate. That was why he asked if the other sibling is married, the marriage certificate will show they have the same parents.

I had the same issue too with UI pgschool. They are the most unserious element. My verification took 2months and some days. I wrote worded mail to the Dean of PG school and it was done within few days.
Then they like tipping also which I wasn't ready for

Verily verily I say unto you, my appetite for the thread has been given a facelift by this confession. However, we need to hear some of the outcome and perculiar situations of the people you help with information gotten from here. Those are the rich "content" that make the thread what it is from one part to another.

Sharing experiences would enrich content quality while asking questions only recycles already existing knowledge, which of course could be hackneyed. A classical example is the guy that shared an experience of how CIC was challenged on ICAN related matter. Before then, most(if not all) people here had been of the opinion that it's a dead end but now we know something else that's infact better. He just changed a 5-thread old notion by that singular act. You too and every other person can grab their own accolade by sharing similar real life tested and trusted issues with us.

I hope no one else picks an offence if/when one of the "bullies" refer them to page 1. It's also painful to contributors when exact same questions are repeatedly asked just a few pages apart. Especially when they're all contained in page one and the many links embedded. I mean, I'd go to the page 1 with joy if it was me being told that all my answers are in a treasure chest somewhere. Slap me on top sef and I'll stay focused on my prize rather than pick an unnecessary fight that'll only delay my progress.

swizy:


Original passport
Proof of payment (if you have the cash you need to got to the bank -standard chartered and make the payment first before coming)

That's all I had and that's all they asked for.

Also if you have a print out of where your UCI or IME is stated, you can come along with it.

pyruvateluv:


Does the JD actually align with what you are doing? I would advice you do more research to find a JD in NOC O, A, B that fit your present job cos your CRS is cool as ONLY NOC O, A or B is acceptable in this journey except you want to try SINP

vosquare:

I guess answers from this thread will be valid based on experience.

Yes, they can, provided the school email is not a yahoo or gmail account, it must be an edu.ng email.

Please does anyone have a contact in FUTO registry. I paid for my transcript to be sent to WES 7 months ago.

Please someone, anyone. Please.

I have tipped, bribed, begged, prayed. Still nothing.

Please.

I tried downloading the IMM008 form with no success. I then went ahead to submit our passports a week ago without it because my family composition has not changed. I recently started feeling like i submitted incomplete documents especially since i have not been able to download the forms to compare their contents. My questions are,
Is the IMM008 form the same as the ADDITIONAL FAMILY REQUEST FORM?
Am i still on track without me including the form?- you stated you also didn't (I want to be sure that I'm not misinterpreting you)
Thank you in advance.






So a little update guys...after an excruciatingly long weekend, I’ve finally collected my passport And COpr. Whew!I decided to call their helpline first sha.
FYI, I didn’t fill/submit IMM008 cos I thought it was unnecessary since my family composition didn’t change. However, I wrote a very brief letter to that effect.
Another thing to note, I’m still waiting for PUM and SMS. So in my opinion, that SMS fee is unnecessary. Don’t pay for it. They wouldn’t even tell you about it, you’ll just see it on your receipt. When they bill you tell them you don’t want SMS updates. It’s a little amount but it’s still worth saving, since paying for it is useless... just my opinion sha.
Good luck to everyone still waiting at different stages, it will end in praise!

ICES doesn't accept SOR? This is a strong something o.

They say it does but tell your school to send it alongside the transcript.

I called a staff in spouse's school today, and they said her set's certificate should be ready in like two weeks time. Question is once it's ready, how will I include it to her application? Can I email it to them with my wife's email address? I hope we won't have to start telling the school to send on her behalf, because that's another long thing with FUTO.

ontarioissauga:

You can send it with your email address.

tolfa:
a card (with a number)was given with registry certificate at the local government. on the card it has this website http://www.intergovernmentalmarriagereg.org/
but checking through the website, the process for registration is not straightforward as you will have to pay 5k before the admin validate the registration. once it's validated, anybody with the marriage certificate number can access the database from anywhere
that's why I brought it here to know if its a compulsory something or not.
