Please help

Sthill5 appears to have done hers your hubby's way.

Alternatively, you can choose to use the maiden name on your certificate for the evaluation. You are going to submit your change of name affidavit with your PR application anyway.

Zinnyk:
Happy Sunday house, please am about to register for WES and I don't know which name to use. Hubby is telling me to use my marriage name because it's what is on my international passport . I feel its not okay because my school certificates are bearing my maiden names,please someone should guard me on this. Thank you.

harry41:

Many thanks Ifeoma. I got a contrary opninon from JOO so maybe I have to make a decision by myself

Perhaps my experience will aid you in your decision making.

At the date I submitted my application, I was unemployed. I claimed points for a previous work experience. Months after AOR, I got two jobs but I didn't update IRCC.

If you're claiming points for the job you just left, I strongly recommend you update IRCC so that they know how to word their questions if they ever decide to contact your employer.

Note: Although I didn't raise a CSE concerning my new jobs, when I went for my interview I took all supporting documents for these jpbs along.

Replied.

As it stands my profile is like this.

Date first licensed to practice profession : February 2012
Work experience started: March 2012
Year of graduation: either December 2011 based on statement of result or November 2012 based on degree certificate

My issue now is the fact that I filled the year on my certificate (2012) in a US Visa application last year. I don't know if Canada will have access to that application because I heard they share the same database. If they do and I use a different date (2011) for the Express entry, won't it be seen as misrepresentation?

I don't think that is misrepresentation in any form. But how come your date first licensed to practice profession is February 2012, and not Dec 2011 or Nov 2012?

Please help oo
As I am told not to use ICES again cos of delay and co

Please I just need the link to guide me through using WES and can I use my NECO cos I dont have WAEC print out neither do I know exam no, I remembered I left the cafe after I saw D in English.

I'm evaluating MSc tho from UI

Please help

God bless you

This is uncalled for. Each person's journey is different. He clearly entered the pool believing POF will go according to his plan and so he kept getting ITA. I also had to decline an ITA and others have done so too. Luckily, you're not a case analysts and applications are not flagged for having declined ITAs.

Nobody is saying he cant decline but he should do it with sense. You dont decline every two weeks because you are lucky to have a crs of 465. Who in his right senses does that.

There is a reason you have a 60days window. If you are not done on the 58th/59th day, you decline. Its shows you have sense and is aware that ITA is a privilege, not a right. People fast, pray, pay 1500cad or more, follow PNP for 1yr+ just to get that privilege.

For every multiple ITA he gets, he denies a person, family, who desperately needs ITA the chance to the better future which himself is looking forward to.

As for you supporting his shenanigan, you are as sensible as he is. Goodluck

I believe you are safe.

The dates in the US application is also on the certificate you will be submitting with your PR application.

Yureyes:

It affects my work experience because of the primary NOC I am using. I started working in the NOC in March 2012, so using the date on the certificate will mean I started working fulltime before I graduated. I intend to use the 2011 and include my statement of results and add a LOE as you stated but my worry is the application I filled for the US non immigrant Visa last year.

I applied for the US non-immigrant Visa last year and I used 2012 as my year of graduation on the US online application, would choosing 2011 in the Express entry form be a problem? I heard both countries have access to each other's database, will choosing 2011 now count as misrepresentation?

Thanks for your assistance.

Zutlin:

It's a profession that requires induction. I was inducted in February 2012.
That said, I am thinking of sticking with November 2012, since I have used in the US, as my year of graduation, even though work experience starts March 2012 and then write an LOE, stating I passed my final exams in 2011, got inducted in February 2012 and started working in March 2012 but I didn't do convocation or get my degree certificate until November 2012. Is this a good idea?

So that's how the thing is...

Calm down. Get a hold of your emotions. You still could have made your point clear without the last paragraph.

I agree with Ifeoma's suggestion that he holds on to the ITA as long as possible, rather than decline every 2 weeks. However, my response to you was based on the extremity of your words - way too harsh and uncalled for.

AdetonaDami:


Roger that!!!

Thought ICES is good for evaluating MSc UI to be precise

if they're good in evaluating MSC from UI fine you can use them, but be ready to wait for over 3 months to get your report

I see. I think you can also use December 2011. People don't usually wait for their certificates before they start working, neither do employers require it. In Nigeria, certificates can be issued 3 years after graduation. You may then use an LOE to explain the US application info.

Topsmamen:


Actually, declining ITA several times does not cause applications to be flagged. There can be changes in personal situations and even IRCC understands that.

In the ITA letter, it says - "If you decline this invitation, and you still meet the Express Entry criteria, your Express Entry profile will become active again. Your profile will remain valid until the original expiry date (i.e., the rest of the 365 days from that date of your original Express Entry submission) and will be considered for future rounds of invitation until that time.". Hell, I could decline as many times as I want to, if my situation warrants it. It doesn't say, "if you decline this invitation several times, your application will be flagged as a likely case of terrorism".

It also says "If, at the 60-day deadline, any of the supporting documentation and information is missing and you do not have a valid reason, your application will be rejected".. Wouldn't you rather decline the ITA than have your application rejected?

Edited:

@JohnnyBravo1990: I hope you'd be able to gather your POF in time. If you get ITA on March 6, hopefully, you'd have till May 5/6 to submit. I reckon that should give you ample time to complete it seeing as you're almost there. All the best.

Good point you were trying to make but you completely missed it at the bolded. Did he wait for 60days? Did you even ready his comment that i quoted before typing? I guess not

Somebody who got ITA 2weeks ago declined it yesterday because he has a crs of 465 and wants to submit in a space of 2weeks after ITA Is it a competition of first to submit?

I have a high crs score too and i got ITA on 30th of Jan. I also have pof adequate for my family composition that i cant access. Should i now start declining every 2weeks because i gave myself a two weeks target and the pof is not here before the two weeks elapsed?

Thats plain stupid.ity and a total waste of opportunities which rightfully belongs to others. If every high score candidate continues to return to the on the eve of ITA, will him himself with 465 smell it?

Even you quoting me, just think of what you suffered and how long you stayed before getting ITA. You think you would have gotten it if this behavior you are encouraging is sustained?


Answer truthfully please

Never encourage bad character or behavior. Thats what killed Nigeria and why we are migrating in droves to Canada today. Period

Jeez! Dude! I will reiterate this. I am not encouraging people to decline ITAs at will just because they can. And as you rightly put it, I know the tough times and constant pressure I went through in getting ITA and I would hate to see someone else suffer the same fate. Haba now, me of all people know what that's like. We are on the same side here. Don't get me wrong. My sincerest apologies to you all if I left a bad impression.

For intending pool divers and ITA recipients, please, biko, abeg, ejo, let us be empathetic to another and consider others. Make sure your documents are in excellent order and ensure you have all required documents before you proceed as declining your ITA will definitely deter others from getting their ITAs. Let's all learn from this. Infact, tell a friend to tell a friend.

No hard feelings guys, we're a united family here and we will ALL get there! One love!

Hello Nairalander , I need held on how to merge my files together. It’s been hard for me to do and I have limited time. Please it’s urgent. Thanks

jjohndoe83:

I concede your point. However, I believe punishment must be proportionate to offence. A two year delay and flagging a person's file for terrorism surely cannot be the consequence of repeated denial of ITA. Such measure is too grave and reeks of vindictiveness and vendetta.

Its only a terrorist that sees what is benefiting others appropriately and choses to damage it because he has a grievance (incomplete POF) and a weapon (high crs score). I still stand by what i said. If you decline ITAs senselessly and i can ban you sef, i will because you dont deserve it.

Im planning to use my NYSC as part of my work experience.I served in a Federal government ministry. How do I get a reference letter for proof of NYSC? Where I served, most of the staff that I know have been transferred to different locations while some have retired.

joo2018:
You should.

It is part of your situation. Also, what happens if a work verification call is made to your former place of work?

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=052&top=3

It is not a material fact under FSW unlike some occupation based PNPs and so will not affect your application.

cc: Ifeo.ma77.

Yeah Joo, I saw that part and the exact wording is to report "...changes that could affect your eligibility for the program you’re applying for, including changes in your:
job situation
education
language skills..."
This clause doesn't affect PR application because job situation is locked at ITA not even AOR. Maybe that instruction is for BOWP applicants or other applications to IRCC, but as far as PR is concerned, this is what applies;

"To assess an application under section A11.2, a processing officer must consider the information in an applicant’s profile at the time of the round of invitations and the information provided when the applicant submits their e-APR. After an e-APR is submitted, an application cannot be refused due to a change in circumstance..."

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp

Even if they call his former place of work, they won't deny that he worked there from 20xx to 20xy. And if they plan to deny him because he no longer works there, how would informing IRCC of the new job preempt their pettiness?

Ultimately it's up to @harry41 to inform or not. In such cases, I just say do whichever one brings you peace.

Happy Sunday guys. Please, can we let this 'ITA decline' issue rest, I think our points have been made clear and we have learnt from it. I use God beg una.

I like this plan better. Stick with what's on the certificate/US database. Then add LOE to explain that the actual date of graduation was 2011. If you still have the SoR that bears 2011, add it at the end of the LOE

Google search "pdfmerge", it allows you drop all documents you want to merge accordingly and merges them then downloads a single file for you. Just follow the instructions. After merging and downloading it deletes your files off the server within an hour but I always manually delete them immediately. Hope it's helpful
