There is nothing like merging NOCs.
As long as both NOCs are 0, A or B, you can use both.

Hi Kemz. Congrats on your PPR. Could you add me to the Accra WhatsApp group. My AOR is July 16, 2018. I have also added hubby in the application. Waiting for your kind response.


I would also appreciate if anyone can add me to the AVO WhatsApp group. Thank you.

ChandlerBing:
Tojued!!!! Congratulations to you. You have no idea how many good thoughts I send your way!


Congratulations to you too Ram. j! Beautiful news everywhere.

joo2018:
You are to send your certificate also. You can use hellofax. Search the thread to find about using it.

I believe the instruction while registering is to use the name exactly as it appears on your certificate. I don't know about the change of name stuffs.

I declined because I am sure to get another ITA. Also, I wasn't sure of when I was going to complete my POF; even now, I am not 100% sure. From my knowledge, it is better you decline ITA than let the ITA expire; if your ITA expires, your profile will be scrapped, and you can run into trouble when you later apply.
I know myself; I may become nonchalant and forget the exact day my ITA would expire. I didn't want to take that chance, and so I declined quickly.
What I have resolved to do is this: for any ITA I get, I'll wait for 2-3 weeks, and if there is no hope of completing my POF soonest, I will decline. If my CRS was 450 or below I wouldn't decline so fast, but with CRS 465, I strongly believe I would always get the next ITA(so far I decline 24-48 hours before the next draw; that is the time, I think, it takes to get back into the pool whenever you decline an ITA.
Lastly, after I apply, if the visa officer requests for an explanation for my previous ITA declinations(which I doubt they would ask), I will gladly explain why I declined as thus: 'I was not sure of when I would complete my POF'.

My only prayer for you is that your final application is not affected by your many ITAs decline.

Sometimes, just because you have a chance or loophole to do something doesn't mean you should do it out of control.

Each time you are issued ITA, parts of your profile is locked and i want to believe your details are stored somewhere not necessarily in the GCMS.

If i were to be the case analyst that will check you initial application and i notice you declined more than once, i will flag your application for all the necessary checks including security and terrorism.

By the time it takes 2years to process, others will learn from you.

Jasmine17:
Finally caught up with you guys. It has not been easy but God has been faithful.

29 days left to submit my application, all areas duly taken care of to the best of my ability except for POF.

Now funds is not a problem but they are tied up in one investment which i dont want to claim POF with, though i mentioned it in my application.

Trusting in God that the expected POF i want to use come soonest.

Gracias

Good evening house.
Please I need some clarification.
Firstly, I finished university in 2011, as my statement of result indicates but I was awarded my degree in 2012; as a result, it is 2012 that is written on my WES ECA certificate. When filling the Express entry form, am I supposed to choose i finished or the year my certificate was awarded as my university end date?
Also I started working before my degree was awarded, wont that be a red flag on my work experience if I choose what's on the degree ?

In addition, I applied for the US non-immigrant Visa last year and used the year on my certificate as my year of graduation on the US online application, would choosing the year I actually finished ( the one on my statement of result) in the Express entry form be a problem? I heard both countries have access to each other's database, will choosing a different year now count as misrepresentation?

Please help a confused person.

Wow!!!! AVO is on fire! Congratulations!!!!!!!

scorpio1:
Hahahahahaha, take it easy guys, never meant it that way, just that managing 3 kids(no house help) + work, 100% focus won't be easy, but anyways... I'll bet she can make it anytime, will give in all the support I can.
@Ifeom.a77, I am planning to use Wes for the ECA, heard it's cheaper and faster, though I have seen some in the past threads say IQAS is better, don't know which one to follow again... Any Zikite here?...which of them has worked for you and how long did it take?
Thanks guys..

You fine well well for this your picture o.

pyruvateluv:

Choose the year you actually graduated. If it was ICES you used, there is an explanation at the back explaining that the year in bracket(award date) could be "post dated" from the actual year of completion

It'll come soon by God's grace

She's the PA. You're not going anywhere if she doesn't ace her ielts. If you're really serious then you should be thinking of how to relieve her of the huge household burden she's carrying while she prepares for the exams. And also in preparation for the fact that you would have to assist with chores in Canada.

Besides, you think the women who have been passing ielts are jobless individuals with nothing more to do in life than prepare for ielts?

Long Post Alert!!!

I want to give God all the glory for his goodness and mercies.

Decision to migrate: 29th July, 2018. I have always known about express entry but I was never keen on it until 29th July, 2018. I got into an argument with a friend turned brother (Rijo) about it. He feels I'm not taking this opportunity now that I have the chance. As Luck will have it, I visited my big bro on the day and he inquired on why we were shouting over the phone. My brother encouraged me to give it a shot. And that was all the push I needed.

ECA Registered with WES on the same 29th July, applied for Unilag transcript on the same 29th July, 2018. ECA came back on October, 21st.

IELTS Registered with BC on 30th July, 2018. Sat for the exam on 8th September, 2018. Scores came back as LRWS: 8.5, 8.5, 7, 7.5. I couldn't sleep that night.

Medicals Had my medicals on 24th September, 2018 at IOM Lagos.

PCC Inspector Moshood to the rescue. He sent it through courier.


ITA ITA finally came on the 29th of October, 2018. I was ready. Had all my documentations ready. I claimed points with my 1 year NYSC. POF was gift deed from my brother.

AOR Submitted my application on the 31st of October. But the AOR letter was dated 1st of November.

Then the wait started.

MEP came on the 29th November, gave my biometrics on the 30th.

Got married and informed CIC on the 3rd of January. I got ADR on the 7th. I submitted the ADR on 10th January. I need to point out here that my ADR was labelled Application Transferred. I paid little attention to that label until I raised CSE to submit updated POF.

The reply to the CSE confirmed that my application is in ACCRA!!!! I was shocked, Mad, Crazy, angry, surprised, devastated. Accra had a reputation. But my wife kept reassuring me that our case will be different. And that became our prayer point.

On the 6th of February, I got a. Notification that there's a message in my CIC account. I logged in to see an interview invite. I was invited to Accra for interview with my wife on the 19th February.

We started preparing with the help of the amazing people in my Accra WhatsApp group and November AOR group.

The interview went well, we spent less than 20 minutes in the interview. The interviewer ended the interview saying she'll send a request for wifey to do Biometrics.

The request came on the 20th. Wifey did the biometrics on the 20th. Then silence. I got worried. What if the interview didn't go well. What if there's something wrong?

On the 28th of February, 2019. The last day of the gracious month of February. I got a notification of a message in my account.. I got scared again.. PPR comes through email. What notification are they sending me in my CIC Account. Only to log in and see the PPR letter as a message in my CIC account.

My life just paused. I started feeling warm and cold at the same time. It was pure joy. Undisputed happiness.

I want to thank everyone especially @newmum, Dumprep, every member of the November AOR group, AVO group and the Interview Group. You guys are the Bomb.

To the people at different stages of the process, Keep faith, Trust the process and more importantly, Trust God.

Maybe is the same useless agent we used..is it sunny or paul akumbor. These two should be avoided, they have stopped picking my calls, and when they do is one stupid excuse after another.
