Gbam!! Good talk samuel.eled red paragraph so on point

samuel.eled said:
Congratulations Christamario. All thanks goes to God for giving us a common destination and dream.

For those expecting response on their updates, from my careful observations on the filing of parcels when received at avo mailing room then to the respective Immigration Officers, what I observed is that Immigration Officers attend to this parcels on Last In First Out (LIFO) basis. This might be as a result of the arrangement of the packages on the Case Officers unit while giving attention to other assigned responsibility. The Officer, on resumption to attend to the updates parcels awaiting attention, she/he might start from the top down till the arrangement is exhausted (my assumption). So do not be worry much when someone who submitted updates after you go a response before you. It happens and it does mean your update has any challenge. Additionally, updates are treated on case by case basis. As such, let's try to be detailed (EXPLANATION AND PROOFS) in our responses to update request to the Immigration Officers. They are like Internal Control Officer (ICU).and as such makes our case and their work easier.

Concerning crashing FD (those expecting MR) into salary or other account as against update request per adventure, I would advise we desist from this act because FD still stand as the best form of POF for immigration project and appears to be the easiest because it gives the Immigration Officer and idea of the applicant creating an unencumbered investment for the settlement plan. And if we decide to crash the FD, please be ready to explain more when the need arise. (My view).

In all, all we need is God's favour in achieving our dream. May God help us to reaching our goal.

It shall end in praise. Congratulations to other applicants with one good news or the other. And to us expectants too, we shall all share our good news too. PPR waiting no be beans o

layorh12 in addition to all that has been said with regards your spouse (dependent), Please also note you will also be required to execute a Schedule A (IMM 5669) form. I suggest while filling this, details of her history since age 18 rather than the past 10 years option should be considered.
Congratulations and all the best.

Good evening Seniors,

Please I just had my medicals and now I am married and trying to update my status with CIC. Now the consultant filing for me just called to say my wife also has to take the IELTS exams even though she is a dependent. (I, as the primary applicant have already written the IELTS exams as a part of my application submission). Please wise seniors, is the consultant correct?...


Secondly, the consultant also said my wife will have to submit a WES evaluation with her application. I also do not believe this is correct. Please kindly offer guidance. I will appreciate a swift response as I am pressed for me. Once again, thank you very much.

My Good people in this Forum,
While I was busy stressing myself in the office with meetings and deadlines, I decided to destress by reading from fellow forumites which I normally do at the end of each working day. On a second thought I switched to checking my mail and delete irrelevant mails. Yours truly I almost deleted my MR without even checking. GOD IS FOREVER GOOD. RK finally released my MR after requesting for photos, pof and salary statement which I sent on the 20th of August. Special thanks to Samuel eled who took his time to put me through especially concerning my POF.

Admin please help me update
Application Received: 11th November 2014

Yes, they did medicals but remember each pregnancy(twin birth or single birth and also stage of pregnancy) is different and also is d hospital different and also is the strength of the xray different. and also is the desperation level of the person wanting to immigrate to canada different.
best is to confirm with your doctor before the x-ray

Please don't let us give him the wrong advice what the agent advised is wrong even if he sends a CSE to Accra they will never ask for the spouse IELTS and WES Evalution .What they will ask for are her PCC ,copy of the marriage certificate also he has to pay her 550 Canadian dollars processing fee and he has to make sure his POF is enough for the 2 of them .He can ask other members who added their spouses after their medicals to get what they sent.
Well not the wrong advice but his using an agent and so should trust the agent advice or discuss your issues with the agent. also note that IELT and WES evaluation will still be useful when you move to canada. i dont have the experience of adding spouse but from august 2014 i know that some changes were made in CIC as regards to adding spouse and dependants.
this issues have been argued before so it is up to you.

i sincerly doubt if his agent is a CIC registered agent for him to be giving him that kind of advice.He has already gotten his PER so he does not need it most especially if he is FSW applicant .For him to be sure of the documents you need raise a CSE TO accra.

engrted there are significant disparities between EE and FSW, the points attained by spouse's IELTS in EE is to boost CRS points which qualifies one for ITA. In this particular situation the PA has already satisfied all requirements to qualify him for FSW (presently at the MR stage), the dependent(spouse) is just an add-on and is not really significant to add any points, thus be required to give all that.

The major things from my opinion, will be for the PA to show sufficient POF (covering his spouse) + spouse (PCC, Schedule A (History from 18 years) and medicals examination) and any other requirements deemed necessary by AVO.

However since he has assigned a consultant to run the process for him, so that there is no breach, he can go ahead with his agent's request, but i strongly know all that IELTS and WES story are not necessary.

Good morning Seniors,

Thanks for all your openness and willingness to assist all with one concerns or the other. I Pray it will end in praise for everyone of us Amen.

I have been in a bit of dilemma here, kindly help clear my doubts, I received MR on July 30th and did my medicals August 6. over a month ago now, but on ecas no TLU has been received or mail to confirm they received my MR. I called Qlife they confirmed it has been sent to them. im just wondering if this is normal or if I need to contact AVO, as I didn't receive any confirmation mail from them for receipt. I just thought they will contact me for PPR but after waiting over a period of 1month I'm beginning to worry a bit about this.

Your candid advice will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation for your valued response. Godbless

Bro/sis, you must be a new member of COPA: Coalition of PPR Aspirants. You and I are exactly in the same situation. No TLU since Meds done, and no other communication aside COA orientation program invite.Check my timeline and keep calm. You r not alone. Our time is coming. You can also drop your timeline on the thread.
