I think you can edit your pr application profile prior to receiving an ITA.

Go into your profile and edit. Note however that your information must be consistent and you may drop points.

Cheers.

House please I need your help, this issue is breaking my heart.. I have a Bsc and Msc in biochemistry but do not have biochemistry work experience. I was advised to choose a healthcare field in my PR application.. the challenge I have now is age is not on my side so I want to apply through PNP or RCIP. The challenge is how do I apply for jobs that I truly qualify for when my PR application is in healthcare? Can my profile be edited?

Ensure you fill the correct forms. For instance, you are technically applying from outside Canada, not from inside as a visitor.

Dontrixt43:
Good morning house, pls i am in canada with a visitors visa but i am decided to school here and i have gotten ission and PAL. Now i want to apply for a study visa/work permit. A friend told me that when filling my application in the IRCC portal i should choose visitor/ temporary visit instead of study permit, pls i am confused becauee i am already in canada and what i am applying for is a study permit so i can school and work. Pls help out its URGENT. Thank you house

Please go ahead and the certificate as part of the ing documentation in your application. There is no requirement of authentication.

Cheers.

buenos116:
Please guys, I have just recently gotten my police certificate from Nigeria. I applied from UK. Can I go ahead and this in my PR application or do I have to authenticate it in any way again

Sorry, @Carndidlaydid you are the one who's delusional here.

You think you're on this earth by yourself? You don't know you were created by God to whom you will render an on the last day. Whether you believe it or not, this world is spiritual and you die one day and be judged immediately.

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Hebrew 9:27

Carndidlaydid:


What heaven

You people are delusional

BTW
Idont know him

You apply online and you are assigned an available date for biometric capture in Ottawa. Wait time to capture could be between 2 to 3 months.

You must go to Ottawa for capture and thereafter your port is posted to you within 4 to 6 weeks.

maziemeka2024:


Not true. You don't need to be present in canada to apply for it.

Kindly note that one must be present in Canada to be able to apply directly for gcms notes.

If outside Canada, apply indirectly through someone present in Canada.

Cheers.

affoncad:


Hello, anybody can apply gcms directly even foreigner outside canada. Under Privacy Act only

Given that the kids are above 5 years, it's recommended that you apply for study permit for them, using your own portal.

Cheers.

abousanogo83:
My wife and I are in Canada holding a work permit and open work permit. We have two kids back home in Nigeria, please what’s the process of applying for them? Would it be study permit or visit visa? They are minors 8 and 10 respectively. Meanwhile the major question is do I apply from my own portal or create a GCkey portal for each of them? Thank you

I would suggest you create a separate record entry for each of the job title that you have held, although one reference letter will suffice in covering for all the entries.

In making your actual pr application, the system will separate the job titles. But then, you can attach that one reference letter to each of the titles. Clear?

Cheers.

kevoh:
Hi guys, I need some advice.
I just started creating my profile for express entry. However, I'm stuck at the work history section.
Here's my dilemma:
I've been promoted like 4 times in 12 years on the same NOC. It's technically the same job duties in same company but different job titles with salary increment. I'm confused on how to go about it.
1. Should I create a separate record entry for each of the job title that I have held in the same company over the past 12 years. If yes, won't this warrant a reference letter for each record? (5 ref letters )
2. Should I create a single record with my current position in the company while listing 12 years total work experience. The submit one single reference letter which mentions all the position held.

Please any information on how I can come out of this quagmire would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I believe that it's acceptable.

Cheers.

Aafiyah:

Hello guys. What would be an acceptable marriage certificate for Canada spousal open work permit application? My partner will be ing me after I get my study permit at the port of entry, and we only have the Islamic certificate of marriage. Will this do or do we have to have a civil marriage certificate?

IRCC has discouraged the provision of upfront medicals in PR applications. They ask applicants to wait for their instructions before undergoing medicals.

Cheers.

Opemipo2107:
Hello wonderful people. A big appreciation to everyone who has contributed to this group.

I have gotten biometrics request but no medical request yet. The question is : is it advisable to do upfront medicals ? Thank you

Are you an inland applicant?

This is most likely an approval. Cheers.

Pls help with response.

If you know your UCI & Application Numbers, you can open a status tracker on the CIC website.

At least, you will have some insight into what's happening in your application.

Cheers.

Cboss:
Good day everyone,
Please what options do you have if your agent refuse to give you details to your PR after ITA?
Thanks.

Your spouse should enlist the help of the Member of Parliament (MP) in charge of the city where he/she resides. Ask the MP to help follow up and check the status of the application. This will have the effect of causing some activities/movement on the file. It works.

Although, you can't ask the MP to mount pressure on the IRCC.

Cheers.

@jeboy
my spouse is more than a year in canada now , going to 2 years now , If that’s the new requirement , I still meet the new requirement, my application is 5 months and some days now

Please go to a northern state.

Hi guys,
Please I need to renew my port and I need it urgently.
Which port office can I get it within days.
Thanks

There is no age limit for Express Entry.

If you are 45yrs and above, you may not obtain any score for age, but would certainly obtain score for other points that you are qualified for.

Cheers.

Ontarioo:
Express entry has a 45yrs age limit. You can make your findings on the list below:
Family Sponsorship
Study Permit
Work Permits
Investing in Canada
Temporary Foreign Worker Program
Atlantic Immigration Pilot

One of the solutions is to change the into a t and use it for the couple.

Cheers.

Skrr8:
[b][/b]Concerning POF please if you are the primary applicant but your accompanying spouse has the pod in their and you don’t. How do you guys go about it?

Congratulations!

Good news and COPR time

I have been a silent member here but i have gained so much from reading others stories and the timeline. It gave me hope, encouragement and helped me compare it to my timeline while in waiting. I hope my story does samefor those in waiting.

Jan 2023 - Entered EE pool with score of 431 so i decided to wait for category based draws

Sept 2023- Transport catergory draws 435. I was heart broken. came here and read where some1 said one can try unaccompany and that score might be higher. WES and uni was frustrating us for wifey. Hence change to unaccompany point jumped to 450.

December 2023- ITA
Jan 2024 - AOR
March 2024- RL for IELTS
March 2024- Biometric and Medicals
April 2024 -RPFL -POF update
May 2024 - Request Letter for Background clearance forms update
May 8, 2024- PPR
May 13, 2024- PP submited via vfs
July 4, 2024- PP in hand.

PNP is the Provincial Nominee Program.

How do you know you applied for PR through Express Entry? Do you have the required results in IELTS or any other approved test of English Language? After your PR application, did IRCC send to your an AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt)? If you don't have the foregoing, it's likely you're being lied to by your agent.

IyawoTM:

Please what is PNP?
Cos we applied for Express Entry like I said in my above post, but we have also paid for the PR already.

You may POSSAP Team by whatsApp on: +234 9034445959

Tell them what the challenge is and they could assist you.

Cheers.

Staness:
Good day,
Please I am trying to for my PCC online, but I don’t have access to the email captured on my NIN, the email update I did on my bvn is not reflecting. I am not seeing any steps online as to how I can update email on Nin, I have ed NIMC, no response. Please what other alternatives can I use to procure my PCC .. Kindly advise

May God have mercy on you for saying what you're not sure of. No proof.

Please, let's be having small fear of God when sacred things are concerned. What if ...?

Bobby4090:
Adeboye is scheming to send his biological son to that rich and powerful parish. In order to equip him to take over as next G. O. So they had to get rid of the strong pastor ID. Who himself is seen as a worthy contender to THE G.O. throne. But the unfortunate thing is that this Adeboye's secret greed will end up consuming RCCG because he's not the founder of the church and family succession wasn't the example that was set for him. I don't forsee RCCG remaining as one once Adeboye is gone.

If you're in Canada and have done one within the last 5 years, just it.

If you haven't done one before, just a blank sheet as directed by IRCC. When they're ready, they will ask you to go for medicals.

Cheers.

vickyehi:
IRCC stated no upfront medicals a while back. Has this changed again? Cos my application is asking to upfront medicals.

Please, always buy your travel tickets directly from the airlines using their websites. That's the best practice.

Your air ticket is a promotional ticket. Almost all promotional air tickets are non-refundable and unchangeable. Please read the of the ticket again. I fear that you might not get a refund.

Funnyman:
Why should I be more comfortable doing business with companies owned by other nationalities but not Nigerian owned? Why cant our people do business with acceptable standard as obtainable in other societies? Why should Nigerians always see opportunity to cheat others in all their endeavors?
TO THE ISSUE, I booked a ticket with wakanow on feb 8, 2024 (my first time ever and a mistake). I paid 911 USD for a round trip from NYC to Lagos. Wakanow issued the ticket but at the time I only wanted to seize the opportunity for the low fare, my travel itinerary was not certain yet, the supposed flight was for April end till may end. By march 1st, it was obvious, I cannot travel by April ending, so I reached out to wakanow to cancel the ticket. Mind you, the ticket I booked was a fully REFUNDABLE TICKET with Royal Air Maroc according to wakanow website before I paid. Wakanow said they will only refund about 800k naira and I will forfeit the rest, mind you I paid in dollars but they want to refund less than half of the money in naira. I agreed that they should go ahead and cancel the ticket and refund me, that was around March 1. Since then I have been messaging wakanow via WhatsApp and mail, they are always telling me they are working on it on WhatsApp while they have stopped replying my mails. Meanwhile, I reached out to Royal air maroc which confirmed I should get in touch with wakanow as my funds are no longer with them. It is almost 3 months I cancelled now and I cant get my money back, I cant book another flight since my funds are now tied down. Why is it so difficult to refund me for almost 3 months when their website says refunds are processed in 2 - 3 weeks?
WHY IS WAKANOW TREATING A FELLOW NIGERIAN LIKE THIS? I AM NOW PAYING BACK MONEY WAKANOW STOLE FROM ME TO THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY. WAKANOW IS A THIEVING COMPANY. WAKANOW REFUND MY MONEY.
Front page please.

IRCC will ask you for proof of funds, so get ready. It's required as part of the ing documents.

Although, it's stated on IRCC website that if you work in Canada, you don't need to show proof of funds as part of your PR application.

Given the seeming contradiction above, it's better you just show the required proof of funds. You're better safe, than being sorry.

Cheers.

Emma549:
Hello House,
For someone with 600points from PNP added to his FSW express entry score,
Living in canada and working on open work permit,
when invited to apply for PR,
Do you also show proof of funds?
Has anyone been in this route before and got his PR

Ideally, it should be for the of the landlord. Why? Because it's an external fixture.

However, you see a lot of Nigerian landlords asking the tenants to contribute towards the repair or purchase of a pumping machine. This is a rip off.

Cheers.

SALLYBERRY01:
Between Landlord and Tenant who should repair a faulty Pumping Machine?

Yes.

He must have a valid IESLT result, though.

gaeul:
Good day everyone. Please I have a question. My spouse have a year plus Canada experience which he achieved via SOWP. He is qualified for PR and am still a student. Can he apply for PR.

Congratulations!

mhizsimi:
In 2020, I heard about Canada PR but I wasn't serious with it, I was scared of writing IELTS

I kept telling my brother I have not studied enough for the exam.
January 2021, I finally wrote IELTS and got in the pool, then came the long pause of ITA. And when they resumed in 2022, the scores were so high, that I had to start learning French but my French tutor suddenly increased her price .

At some point I gave up on this journey, but last year after the elections, I knew I had to get back in the pool. And then CBD came, I wrote IELTS again and got in the pool.

ITA: 26th Oct
AOR: 2nd Dec
BIL: 2nd Feb
MIL: 4th Feb
Biometric done and linked: 12th Feb
Medicals done: 14th Feb
PFL: March 26
PFL: POF topup submitted April 21
MEP: 14 May
FD: 15 May
RFV: 16 May
VO: RROC/Accra

I did sputum test, my medicals took three months, crazy and depressing period...

Another thing that showed me shege is exchange rate, it kept going up

Thank you to the elders on this thread who have been responding to my questions from the days of WES evaluation.

Depending on your province of residence, you may research on the PNP route. This would boost your CRS with additional 600 marks.

Cheers.

MisteriousMoe:
Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing great. Please I have a question and I would appreciate it if someone could guide me appropriately. I am a graduate of a Master's degree program in Canada and I got a job offer. When I created my EE profile, I didn't get points for my job offer. I am currently on my post graduate work permit and my score is 457. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, please. I would appreciate any form of assistance for clarification.
IELTS score: L-8, S-8.5, R-8.0, W-7
I have a sibling who is a PR
Job offer in Engineering: Process Engineer (Metallurgy)
Age: 31

I am planning to rewrite my IELTS exam to improve my writing. Also, my Post graduate work permit expires in March 2025 and I just started my new job in March this year.

Congratulations!

Why the confusion? Isn't a visit visa different from a work visa?

A SOWP is a work visa that entitles you to a work permit when you arrive at the POE.

A visit visa merely allows you to enter Canada, but can't work.

Elfortunato:
port Requests are few and far between these days, but it's to the glory of God that I am coming back to say I got a surprise PPR for Spousal Work Permit today. I'm a spouse of a college student who is already schooling in canada, I applied in November 2023.

It's a surprise to me because I wasn't expecting a PPR. I already had a travel visa, and had visited once, so, all I was praying for was a Port of entry Letter of Introduction, not PPR since i already have a visa. Now I am not sure of what to do with this PPR. This goodnews comes with a dose of confusion.

Gurus in the house, please advise me. Am I supposed to submit my port again for Visa, despite already having a valid visa? Is this normal? Or should I send IRCC a webform/mail about this? If I submit my port again, hope they won't cancel my existing travel visa....?

She needs to be gentle with her request and apply wisdom, so she doesn't destroy all she has built so far in the marriage. It's not every woman that wants their marriage to collapse.

Sometimes, you may win the war and lose the battle. Application of wisdom is important.

Cheers.

shaybebaby:

It's the "gently" that landed her in this predicament.
