NEROSKY:


I'm not an expert on this EE thing but what I know for sure is, it doesn't affect closing balance and opening balance, the remaining money is what they're after

ednut1:
. You can spend from it but maintain your pof required amount

ovy92:
Good morning everyone, please i have a little issue, I already have more than the required POF in my account

Just this morning, I wasnt expecting any money, but I woke up I saw an alert of 8K in my POF account,

Please Is it okay to withdraw the money?
Or should I just leave it there?
If I withdraw the money will it affect my application?

I'm sorry for the question, I'm just confused

Thank you in advance for your reply

CokeBar:
Please, just a clarification...

For POF, are we to submit a 6 months statement of account or a reference/official letter from the bank stating the required information like the closing balance etc.

ednut1:
CIC requires 6 months average balance. But Nigerian Banks wont state this, so people include the 6 months statement let CIC compute themselves. if the money is from gift deed, sale of asset etc no need to 6 months statement

Good morning house, please how do I update my EE profile from Single to Married? The icon to change that is not highlighting. Been in the pool since last year and got married this year. Hubby has ielts and want to add him to my profile. Thanks

Uchboggy:
ITA at last but with a mixed feeling for me and my wife.

Our profile as a couple was 468 since October last year so she wrote ielts last month and added 2 points to the score making it 470. My profile was expiring on the 21st of this month so this was the last draw before expiration.

Initially we had agreed to see what this score was then if it didn’t get to 470 today then I will go alone unaccompanied(crs of 475). But because of the anxiety and tension and uncertainties we had to change our mind yesterday and agreed that I go unaccompanied. Now draw comes out and it’s 470.

I was happy to see ITA and was angry that we didn’t wait.

My source of consolation now is accepting it as the will of God




Please I need a link to the WhatsApp group for married people going without their spouse

abimcdssi:

How about the official reference letter from banks? Is it a must?

phemmy26:



This is my advice. By going alone, you have 475 so you are still safe even if you decline and the point does not get to 470 any more. If it was that if your score is let say 471 unaccompanied, then ill say you you shouldn't decline but 475...its really a decent score and you can always get ITA.

I understand that a lot of people have also advised that you can add the spouse post ITA and the scores would be recalculated which is quite true...but you know IRCC can be funny at times, make we no go meet a yeye case analyst. so for you to have a smooth application which does not have the process of adding and recalculating stuff...just decline and wait for two draws, the likelihood of getting it is quite high.

My two cents

topeolu1:
Wrong advice please....

He can add his spouse, post ITA, provided any addition to the application does not make his score goes below the CRS under which he was invited. He is good to go and submit as the spouse addition will still leave him at 470.

Good morning everyone,.I just received my WES report and I have a little concern..i dont know if i should be worried or not. On it was written;

THE NAMES ON ONE OR MORE OF THE ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS SUBMITTED FOR EVALUATION DIFFERS FROM THE NAME INDICATED ABOVE.

While registering for WES, I used my married surname and sent all necessary docs(marriage certificate,birth certificate,court affidavit etc)to justify it..
Although the report came out with my married surname on it, I still feel a bit bothered..Pls for those who have done a change of NAME with WES,do you receive this same message?

please i need a mentor. if you cant volunteer, please dont laugh at me.
i can see guys here just completing NYSC (only Bsc) without siblings in canada having about 460 plus CRS how come? even with maximum score in IELTS it should not be possible ordinarily.

i did my self assessment with Msc, and 10 years work experience plus assumed conservative average band of 7.5 in IELTS and got a CRS of 431.

maybe they evaluate Bsc and SSCE to get maximum points, is this the secrete? please somebody should mentor me here. kindly signify here so i can contact you i dont just want to release phone contacts here.


The last time i read about express entry was in 2013 and since then a lot of things have changed. e.g the required/ wining CRS score then was around 350 plus.
i am back now. i flipped through previous threads by search of keyword but am still missing somethings.

kindly help me.

Hello house...please I'm new here. My highest qualification is a post graduate diploma and I've got it evaluated by WES( including my BSC). I am trying to fill my express entry profile but I'm not seeing any PGD just BSC and Masters. Can I pick masters instead? Thanks.

Note: WES equated my PGD as PGD Canadian equivalent
