Haysamo:
Why did you include her education in the first place, when she doesn't have ECA? Where did you see the ECA number you used? The truth is that you might not have gotten the provincial nomination if you didn't include her ECA in the first place because provincial nomination is NOC and point driven most time. I will advise you decline the ITA.


Well, I never used any ECA number because there was no need. Under the section "Has an ECA been done to access this certificate:" I simply selected "NO". Besides, the nomination was through SINP's EOI which cared little or nothing about the accompanying spouse's education or work experience because there are no extra points allocated for that.

Aww!! So no one can help me out with the difference between AIPP and express entry??

Please, anyone who has a rigid knowledge of the both programs should help clarify a brother na.

Have you googled the difference? There are so many information online and on different forums. Cheers

What was your CRS before the nomination?
Telemaduke83:
Congratulations to everyone who got ITA+PPR.

Please house, I'm in a dilemma here.

I got ITA yesterday (through PNP nomination), but I'm not sure whether to accept it. This is because I edited my profile two days ago. I didn't want to claim points for my spouse's education anymore since we already got nomination and there's no ECA for it. Although, the new update was saved and transmitted, but my crs points did not reflect the new change (its still giving me points for spouse's education). Only for me to get ITA yesterday, making my profile locked for now.

should I:

1) go ahead and accept this ITA. If i do, how do I convince the Visa officer about not wanting points point for the education
2) decline the ITA and wait for the points new points to be updated in the profile

PS: please bear in mind that removal of 10 points for spouse's education leaves me with 953 crs points which is above the cutoff for this draw.

You can go ahead and accept. You have abundant CRS points so removing his education won't be a problem

Accept the ITA. Since there was no ECA, his education wasn't making any contribution to your CRS pre ITA. Therefore editing the educational qualification from Yes to No would make no changes to the CRS. You may use LOE when submitting if you want to justify the change that ECA wasn't ready.

953 CRS is high, I would decline this ITA and grab the next one from the next draw when everything in my profile reflects reality.....if it was me sha...that's what I would do.

Just to avoid having to give an explanation for why/how spouse ECA changed from YES (ECA YES would have required an ECA ref #) to NO (I may have completely misunderstood this part...apologies) - which a VO may interpret as misrepresentation....even if without it your CRS is still sufficient. LOE may or may not cover a multitude of our sins.

I am about starting my WES Evaluation, I got this information on WES website

''In most cases if you have completed a minimum of one year full-time post-secondary academic study, you do not need to submit secondary school documents.''

Does this mean it is not compulsory to evaluate 0' level results?

This is always a tricky topic. Technically being PR gives you right to live anywhere in canada BUT with PNP you are obligated to make reasonable efforts to live in the province. From what I've read seems like a year or two is the safe minimum otherwise one might have problems when applying for citizenship and even risk losing PR status

Decision to travel
I have always been a patriotic Nigerian and never believed in travelling out for greener pastures. however, le boo has always been the abroad person but after several visa denials to US and Canada for students visa, we just gave up. my father had always wanted me to go abroad for master but no money. I even tried this jonathan scholarship for masters (i don forget the name of the programme) , i didnt meet cut-off. Every year since 2016, he would plan for relocation, but me i will just yimu that i am not interested. Towards the end of 2018, almost everyone around me started to relocate, i was begining to get out of the shell. Viola my husband mentioned it again 2019 january, and i felt it was time for me to give my son and his siblings a better life.


PRE-ITA


ECA
when there was still waec wahala, with MSC and B.SC from different schools. i created proile march 17th and it was ready june 2019.


IELTS
this is my ielts journey. https://www.nairaland.com/5187408/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/124#79037184
when my ECA and IELTS result was out, i sharply dived into the pool pending spouse ECA and Ielts.

POST ITA

Medicals
i booked medials with Q-life after ITA because it was cheaper and within the days of submission. We left osogbo a day before and stayed with a family friend. our medicals was during the construction of the road , we got there quite early 6.45 to pick number 3. Unfortunately, our passport was not standard enough so we had to take another one for myself and sonthe same day. last last we left around 12.

PCC
Inspector Funke to the rescue, 7k for myself and hubstar.

POF
This was the major hurdle. before i started anything on this journey, i already sat my parents down to discuss every single details and they promised that when i was ready they would help. finally, when Ita landed, pilee trsanfered the 100 percent of POF to me. i didnt invest the money at all, i couldnt get bank reference in cic format. I submitted LOE to explain the breakdown the summary of pof (GIFT DEED AND PENSION) ,Notarized giFT DEED, DAD'S INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT, bank reference letter (not in cic format) , letter of non-indebtedness, 6 month online signed bank statement highlighting the gift deed inflow, screenshot of the exchange rate for that day on xe.com, pension refrence letter and pension statement.

Work Experience
this was quite easy. please and please always check and recheck your documents before submission. i almost submitted a reference letter with the wrong annual salary figure from what is on my employment letter. i discovered a day to submission and had to request for another. I submitted

siblings points
proof of relationship: i submitted our birth certificates, our international passport becuse i changed my name when i got married, our parents marraige certificate because i changed name before marraige, change of name affidavit too.
proof of sibling pr: copr, front and back of pr card
proof of residence: utility bill, lease agreement, pr card:
proof of status: front and back of pr card.
I didn't submit schedule A upfront despite my spouse visa refusal.

POST AOR

AFTER checking and cross-checking, we finally submitted around 11.45pm on AUGUST 28. we got BILMEP on sept 12 but didn't go for biometrics until Sept 20.
Raised CSE to find out about my visa office on October 4th and got a generic response
Raised another one on the 25th of October. Visa office was OTTAWA. WHEN I GOT THE REPLY, I jumped up in excitement as if i got PPR. MY Collegue was looking at me like whats wrong with this one. i told her she cant understand.

SILENCE

Around December, August Aor with Ottawa STARTED GETTING PPR And i was like, wow. that early. Naso me sef anticipate PPR Till i made my 1st call on 2oth of December, the agent said eligibility and criminality is passed. While waiting, a friend of mine adviced me to enroll for the CFA free investment course because I was going to change career when we get to the maple land. After that call, i check my profile like a billion times daily till i caught OJUJU around 4am yesterday. And VIOLA, 11pm, Za eagle landed in my mail. i just called hubstar and said Babes, we have made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After i found out about my visa officer, I joined the best group OVO , the baddest. That group na real group. the happening group .....from orisirisi we get am there. they are family already because it made the wait worthwhile.
I dedicate this to God and everyone. I pray for those waiting for a positive response at every point in this journey, that your good news is here and will happen. this year will open doors of opportunities for us

i want to specially thank everyone on OVO group, you guys are awesome. all my paddy from @chicyclass , my babes aisah, fawzy, my guy trick, shardarck, bhaloosky, aunty jolie, akin, duke of alberta, adetayo, gerrard, hoppy, DH, ada baby, june, mama hephzibah, oyinlola, obinna.- you guys are awesome...God bless you...i pray for `those expecting PPR, we go parte after parte.

To my darling Brother and his wife, thank you for everything.....

To hubstar, you know i got you baby even though i had to force you to write ielts when you were extremely busy, thank you for not letting my stubborn self say no to relocation last year.

May canada favour us.

Received Notes Sept 9th. Found out RR on work reference.
