Hello iphie28,

I think you can go ahead to submit your application since you already received ITA. This means you have enough points already.

The seniors in the house will comment on your question on how many points you can claim. Alternatively, you can ask the EE folks at http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t267824.0.html

I agree with Pace. You can go ahead and process your ITA. Getting ITA means that you have more than enough point to proceed with your ITA. Congrats.

Congrats Godwin, beforeCanada2014 and everyone with an update!!! BigDon, don´t worry much. I am still the class prefect of those waiting PPR. I suppose that consoles you in a way. Patient is all that is needed. Sometimes I feel as you do, but do console myself that my application is not better than those still waiting MR. Hope that my next post will be to announce my PPR likewise everyone still waiting one update or another 8) 8)
I did Medicals in September so I am also waiting for PPR but I like your chill. But when exactly should one start to worry?

Maybe I didn't explain my situation clearly. I already filled and submitted my EE profile claiming 135 points for professional degree and got ITA before I started having serious doubts if I should hv claimed 120 points instead.
Is there any lawyer/anyone in d house who has gone through a similar situation?

Medical request : Sept 23rd, 2015 ; PPR was on April 15th; Sent on April 21 from the Caribbean island. It has surely ended in praise. Special thanks to Pipi's husband.God bless you sir. Thanks to everyone on this forum for clarifying doubts/questions. God bless you all.
Praise God, phase 1 in hand! Congrats, let the packing commence :)

Hello dearest e-family,

For all those awaiting updates, you can keep yourselves busy studying the DRIVERS HANDBOOK to drive in Canada. With your Nigerian drivers licence, you will need to take a test to get a Canadian drivers licence on getting there.
I hope this helps.
http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/2010/agendas/committees/cy/cy100118/it003.pdf

Regards
Nice idea but there's a better way ;)

Instead of that fat drivers handbook, go straight for the free practice questions. Take all the practice tests repeatedly till you achieve minimum of 80% to 100% pass rate. Then you are ready.

This link takes you to practice tests for all provinces. All the best as you study :) http://icandrive.ca/practice-test/

your answers will be appreciated.
Receipt of ITA proves you have enough points. No need to do any more BODMAS or new ECA. All the evaluation bodies use the same criteria so your result from them won't change. Go ahead with your application which I know will end in success. Congrats :)
