Hello everyone. Stumbled on this thread when it was in part two and I've been following, though not avidly but would try to read up all (from part 1) soon. But before that, I have a question which might have been asked before but I'm going to ask anyway. I'm in my final year studying for a degree in Business Education. Normally, since acquiring the ACCA is quite expensive in Nigeria, I plan on doing my ICAN upon graduation and then apply for exemptions in the ACCA which from my research could be used in acquiring a CPA/CGA in Canada due to the Mutual Recognition in place. Do you feel it is necessary to go through all that or I should just try to acquire accounting related experience and then apply for the EE, then maybe fortunately if I get to travel to Canada through the EE program, do the CPA itself in Canada instead? Please I need you guys help on this. Thank you

Finish your studies, do your NYSC acquire whichever you certificate(ACCA/ICAN) you can within this period , either way they are not a waste, with your one year experience you will be eligible for EE, and I THINK ur ICAN can be used as two or more certificate (not sure of this tho, seniors abeg clarify)

Goodmorning house,
Please I want to enter the pool but I need some clarification with the pof.
I have a landed property which I have gotten a buyer ready to pay for it.we agreed that he waits a little while before paying.Now I want to put the cash in a fixed deposit but the period of the fixed deposit will be for 2 months.would that be acceptable as a pof?
My bank account is not healthy at all.

Kindly advise thank you.

you mustn't fix the money, just ensure u provide all necessary evidence of sales( from u and buyer) plus LOE and highlighting this in ur SOA where the money reflects, u should be fine

dfanz:
ITA 19th April

Hi Guys,

yes, you in order.

Happy New Year my Nairaland family, God will do wonders for us this year IJN.

I just added my spouse and it reduced my score to 430. Thank God spouse’s age is not requested for score too,maybe I would be waiting for PNP. (On a lighter mood) Lol

Please, I noticed no space/column to list details of applicants children in the EE pool. Is that the norm or there’s something I’m not doing right. I need help my people. Thanks.

Hbd Mamacajah wish u heaven's best ....

House Pls,

I'm yet to receive my TRF from British council for November 11th Exam, Enugu centre.
I have been to UPS office but no show. Any information/contact on how to go about getting it would be much appreciated.

Had the same issue, well I twitted, called BC Abuja, and UK, forwarded my conversation with their Abuja customer service to the ( which wasn't helpful,) UK finally they printed a new one, however on the day I was to go pick it up, UPS called to come pick the old one. Disturb them oo, except u are not in a hurry

sunvick:
I asked for EOR 27 of Sept for that same 14th test in PH still no feedback. its more than 12 weeks ohh. Very annoying and frustration. My 15k will never enter voicemail at all.

Mine dear, I totally took mi mind off it as I had gotten my desired score, mine was since Sept 14 that I requested for it. Just saw the msg yesterday more than two weeks now, it's been sitting on my spam. The good thing is my 15k coming back to me. Don't worry they will contact u soon and u will smile. Cheers!!

Just to encourage someone, asked for EOR Sept 14,and got an email November 30th, with an upgrade in writing while listening n reading remained unchanged. PH city sent me the forms to fill for refund and details of the result as well . Although I wrote another one and got my desired score while waiting for them but I'm also getting my refund as well. Try to encircle all bands to stand a good chance for refund.

DereI:
I'm so happy right now.... My fourth IELTS attempt.

Overall Band: 8.0

Listening: 8.5
Reading: 8.0
Writing: 7.5
Speaking: 8.0

And IQAS ECA came out like few minutes ago too. Join me shout hallelujah.

hallelujah! Happy for u

forgetting to mention that one is pregnant in the application post ITA , although this was noted during the medical be a problem?

Congrats Decora!!

Abbylee:
Hi guys,

What bank gives POF reference letter according to CIC's format among these banks? Access, Gtb, Stanbic or Zenith??

I heard some banks have strict format and its not compliant to CICs'.

Please help, its urgent!

GTB gives if u have current account in naira or dollar didn't face any hassles

Raconteur14:


How significant do you expect the drop to be? Low 430s, sub 430 or as low as it was May this year (circa 413). Those Indians don't seem to be on break at any point o, considering they are the ones with the highest percentage of PPR/COPR receipts.

with the way I am seeing things and many ppl planning on porting, I won't be surprised if we outnumber them this year, lol

Peaceful2016:
add more money to the card... They usually block at a higher rate initially when you make the payment. They'll debit you later a the appropriate rate for that day

Really? Wow. OK. Lemme try that. Thank u

Gtbank users oo, pls I tried paying my processing fee for PR but I wasn't able to do so using my dollar master card, kept getting transaction declined. I had transferred money to the card at1500USd,and I am to pay 1250 CAD. Yet all to no avail. Pls what am I doing wrong?

damidamsel:


Applications differ from one another but based on my experience, ref letters do not expire. 4 of the 6 ref letters i used (yea had to merge alot to get the 3yrs max) were gotten since 2014 and i did not get any ADR. However i got them all after i had left the companies.

Getting the reference now,resignation letter, and LOE stating u needed to gather ur documents bfr leaving and travel documents showing when u left the country. Won't all these suffice? #Just thinking out loud#

damidamsel:


I totally agree . That's why i stated that i got mine after i had left

If she gets the reference now, her resignation letter, and LOE stating the fact that she was leaving and needed to gather her documents etc, plus evidence showing when she left the country. Don't u think it may suffice? Just thinking out loud

Yooku:

Greetings to all in the house.

Guys, please just a quick one. I submitted my application last month 24th and I got a mail saying I should pay the RPRF within 7 days. I thought it was when your application was successful you were required to pay the fee.

Like what were u expecting na? Pls pay up asap and grab ur PR joor. congrats!!!

Congrats to all the ppr recipients!!!

Do you have your ECA/IELTS ready? If any or both isn't, that gives a bit of time to persuade your parents, or friends.

It is my opinion that disposing landed property is not really a good option, especially when you're disposing not to acquire another. Yours being at a choice location should be a factor for you to hold on to the property. That said, I'd rather have you ask your fiance than dispose the property. If your fiance has capacity to help, please ask. You guys are building a life together, asking for help shouldn't be a tough call.

The six months holding period isn't really necessary, you can look at a lesser period if you find a willing party to help.

Completely agree with U, I don't fancy the idea of disposing the property at all, if ur fiance is capable, pls just ask I believe in the end both parties will still benefit.

yokus:
Apply with the current medical, proactively do another one once that expires in February- if you have not gotten PPR by then, raise CSE and send it with a letter of explanation. However if you get PPR before Feb, are you ready to land by Feb?

exactly mi thoughts, cos the Feb might be too close for them, In my opinion, if it's not against the rule, just do another one and let ur mind be at rest as d PA medical will be determining factor if both spouse must leave together. Except she is not the PA and Intends to leave later

Chester2018:
Good evening my people,
Kindly assist with this dilemma.My wife did her medicals sometimes in February while applying for student visa which was not successful.Now we have ITA and we are meant to submit next week only to discover that her medical will expire in February(2 months time) and we can not do another one till it expires.
Please advise on this dilemma.
Thanks

Well I really don't think so, cos I know someone whose medicals is expiring in May and has done another one For PR application. Mentioned the old one to the hospital they didn't say anything. Prime Medical consultant. PH. I don't know if it's against the rule sha, didn't see it like that on cic site. I guess u shd wait for the seniors to throw more light. I may be wrong

Qadi:
Please, for those who did online application, how did you go about the biometrics after paying the fees?

U are supposed to get a msg in ur account with biometric request letter attached to it as well as instructions with which u will use to go for it.

Abiodunne:
yayyyyy help scream God is good!!!! Finally my application has been approved.

The longest wait!!! Many congrats bro! So happy for u.....

Good job guys,
I am a Civil engineer, 35 years old with MSc and over seven years of experience. I want to have a Canadian graduate certificate in construction management which I have applied for in a toronto college. Bearing it in mind that I have had MSc b4, I hope while applying for visa I will not be denied due to a lower degree PGD. I cannot get master of construction management because they require minimum of second class upper. I have lower in my BSc. The aim is to aquire more knowledge on how to manage construction projects.

My second question: the cost of the program is C$13k and my monthly salary is 170k but my uncle wants to sponsor the program because I don't have more than 1m in my account. Will this not going to spell doom for the TRV? If yes, what is your advice on proof of funds? Because I don't want to pay non refundable tuition fees deposit and be denied because of the account. The uncle doesn't bear same surname with me.

Please, can someone help me diligently answer the questions.
Thanks for the anticipated responses

why not try the express entry pathway, ur profile looks good, besides u get to study at a cheaper rate. It's even faster now once u have ur documents ready.

Saintp:
Happy Sunday guys,

Please portharcourt people on this thread I need ya help oooo.
I am writing IELTS on Dec 2 in Portharcourt and I am not familiar with PH.
Please how do I get to that Kingoliza Halls? I will likely come from Enugu.
Could you help me suggest a cheap hotel around the venue because the test will keep me in PH for 2 days. Thank you all.

How I was directed during mi time: from where they stop u, get to Garrison and board a taxi going to Abuloma, and stop at Felmo, there u will see Keke to KINGOLIZA HALLS it's on that same Street where they are loading. As for hotels there are many of them around the surrounding streets can't remember the name of the one I lodged in it was for 9k,there is also a guest house that goes for 4k all trekable to the hall.
