Good Day
I was hoping I could get advice on a peculiar issue for a friend.
He has been asked to go for medicals with his 2 unaccompanying children from a previous relationship.
Children are however with their mother in another country and he is not on talking term with her.
Is there any way around it without withdrawing his application as there is no way children would be available for medical?

Hello everyone.

I tried making payments for my ECA evaluation with IQAS but no headway, decided to port to CES instead, albeit the international courier delivery is more expensive than IQAS.

1. Please is it possible to choose Canada as the courier destination for the hard copy of the evaluation (even though I'm here in Nigeria)? I have a friend there, it can be delivered to her address and she'd snap and send me the soft copy.
OR

2. I pay for both application fee and electronic copy (no courier of hard copy).

Is there any implication of not getting hard copy of evaluation?

Thank you in advance.

No issue, go ahead.

If I was sure of getting an ITA in a month’s time and I would like to submit my application ASAP once I get ITA, when is it advisable to do my Nigerian PCC? nb: I don’t live in Lagos

Please guys, I need help with the calculation of my job experience below:

Healthcare job 1 started on 8/3/22 and ended 19/1/23 (total of 930 hours) part time.

Healthcare job 2 started on 19/12/22 and ended 17/12/2023 (44 hours per week) full time.

Please seniors, does the above experience meet up with the one year continuous experience for ONIP.

I think you should put both, but it seems Job 2 will give you one year continuous experience.

The validity of the PCC is three months. Your documents are locked at AOR.

Pls help

CELPIP's price fluctuates based on the dollar rate. Don't look at what's on that their site. They'll deduct the actual price from your .
The last I heard in November was 134k.

Thank you!

3months for IRCC or Nigerian police?

Hi everyone!

Please I need help with celpip materials.

Can I get it from anyone here?

3months for IRCC or Nigerian police?

For IRCC, I've only done for Canada so I can't say for other countries. It's written on the report.

Good day house, I recently ed the Express Entry pool and will like some advice/guidance to avoid errors and possibly increase my scores.

My scores currently stand at 464points and I shouldn't be losing points via age for another 9/10 months.

1.) My appointment letter doesn't include job roles, just indicating that I have been appointed to a certain role. Should this be a concern?

2.) I currently entered the pool as sales Engineer for NOC 62100 – Technical sales specialists - wholesale trade. Does it qualify as a stem related NOC. I'm asking against stem draws. I believe I can also switch to 21301 – Mechanical engineers. Please advice.

3.) If I receive an invitation to apply, would I need to submit Job reference for all my listed employments/NOCs or just my primary NOC? I would like to know so I do not give myself unnecessary stress with documentation.

4.) Can POF funds be provided in multiple s? E.g naira and dollar or savings and mutual funds.

5.) Is there a link that indicates the NOCs considered for Stem draws? Kindly share please.

6.) I added 16months work experience from my father's company where I'm also listed as a shareholder 15% of total shares. Hope this isn't an issue.

7.) Kindly advise how I can improve my scores or be better qualified for PNPs. I have a sibling in Alberta but they've put their draws on hold and I'm yet to get good evidence that they previously selected Sales Engineer/Mechanical Engineers or any other NOCs I may qualify for in their provincial draws.


I really anticipate your guidance guys.

It's not true. What's written on it,is for the police.

aestake:

I think you're misunderstanding me. She asked for the validity, I said three months and it's locked at AOR.
Even if her application is with IRCC for longer than three months, it's valid.

It's valid for 12 months according to IRCC regardless of what police put on it.

Again you misunderstood me. The police certificate for the purpose of using it to apply to IRCC is 3 months, you have to use it within this time period.
It literally says "Valid for three months from the date of issuance on the report". Again this is for the purpose of residency for Canada. I don't know about other nations.
Upon receiving AOR, just like your language results are, the dates are "locked in".

I can only answer no 1,if you can get reference letter from your work place, you are good to go,show statement showing salary paid, or cash certificate stating that you are paid in cash, you are covered.

You may not need to submit your appointment or employment letter.
