FSW 2014 applicants from Nigeria - Let's network

[Pipis Husband]

Hi PH/KSA,

Please help move my status from MR to PPR on the spreadsheet please. Cheers,

Hi meemee, it's been done

 

[Pipis Husband]

I am so waiting for the flood of PPRs that starts shortly....People, by the way, my earlier question on behalf of a friend and colleague appeared to have dropped on the blind-side. please: I have a colleague at work who originally applied for FSWP in May 2014 (the first week) application was returned for not including the original credential evaluation report. He quickly regularized and resent his application in November 2014 and was granted access to his ecas in feb 2015 for a couple of weeks! He is finding issues logging into ecas as we speak and he has enquired from gtbank if his draft had been cashed. GT confirmed encashment! but alas, the issues are, he is yet to get his PER email from CIC and no form of contact yet from Accra....He is so disturbed at this development. Any help with this issue will be appreciated.

PH, Kollins, KSA et al...Biko

Hi, this is a simple issue that requires patience for the PER to arrive, however the applicants can contact CIO for status of his application by CSE, email or phone call.
The link for CSE is, https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx
The email is cio-sydney-search-enquiry@cic.gc
For phone, place a call to CIC in Canada with the number below and make enquiries but be advised that the agents are always to give info over the phone. He may need to be super patient as he may spend almost 20 or 30 minutes on the phone with them. Call them anytime from 12 noon Nigerian time (8am in Canada). The number is +1-613-944-4000 and select 1 for English.

All the best.

People!!!!!...I need all the assistance in the world now o..cos this cant be happening
, I am going to post below the mail I recieved from AVO on friday the 6th of march...Pls go through and tell me what you think I can do:



I have now completed the assessment of your application and I have determined that you do not meet the requirements of Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.

You were asked in a letter sent on November 20, 2014 to provide evidence that you had available funds in order to immigrate to Canada. This letter informed you that your application would be assessed on the basis of the information that was already before the officer and we also gave you the opportunity to respond to our concerns. I have received the requested proofs of funds and I have determined that you are not eligible to Canada as a foreign national by virtue of the fact that you do not meet the Financial requirements necessary for a family of 4 persons ($22, 170) as outlined in section R76(1)(b) of the Immigration Refugee Protection Act and the Regulations:

The skilled worker must

(i) have in the form of transferable and available funds, unencumbered by debts or other obligations, an amount equal to one half of the minimum necessary income applicable in respect of the group of persons consisting of the skilled worker and their family members, or
(ii) be awarded points under paragraph 82(2)(a), (b) or (d) for arranged employment, as defined in subsection 82(1), in Canada.

Your bank statements indicate large deposits which are considered questionable and do not reflect your regular income and savings you would have made over the past 3 years. I am not satisfied all those funds belong to you.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act.

Based on the information that is available, I am not satisfied that you meet all the requirements under the Federal Skilled Workers Class and I am therefore refusing your application.


Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.

Sincerely,


Immigration Officer
Immigration Section



That is the l mail o...the money was even in excess with evidences and teller of deposits, payslips etc...Maybe I wasnt detailed in explain the transfers bcos I included evidences I dont what happen...what can I do should I resend the same thing explain every line in detail again ,as I have already prepared that? or should I get a lawyer? If a lawyer is needed now which can you STRONGLY recommend that can deliver favourable results?...Pls people help o..this is not a good news for the family after all the effort since 2013...I need HELP!!!!!

My Brother, regardless of this report choose to believe and stand on God's report. Now is the time to pray out your heart like never before. I know that God will give you a mouth and a wisdom that they can never resist or gain say. He will fight this battle for you!

Congrats. The wait continues.

 

[Anyi Nature]

Hey Mee mee, thanks for the heads up.
I have noted the link but my options would be clearer onces we get to CA. I have dome Human Resources management Module before which comprised of some key HR functions and element on the MBA program I did here in one of the UK universities.
so am hoping that I would easily find my way around things.

Many thank.

Hi Anyi Nature,

Please visit this link: http://conted.ucalgary.ca/public/category/courseCategoryCertificateProfile.do?method=load&certificateId=1706239

You may also want to do the project management professional (PMP) exam as more and more employers require their HR staff to have PM skills.

All the best.

Hey Chief,

Thanks for making out some time to reply, I appreciate a lot. I just want to tell you that it has been like a roller coaster this journey you know.
I first applied in 2008 when I came over to the UK for my masters but then I had no clue on how to make a quality and substantial application so it was rejected and application fee was returned.

In 2011, Cap was reached by the time my application got to central Intake office in Sydney.
Then there was a pause on the system and it reopened in 2013, my application got in, I had PER but was called for an interview in 2013 Feb by LVO but in Sept same year, our dream came to an end.
So I put in my wife's as she is also very qualified for NOC 1112 in May 2014 and as luck and Mercy of God would have it, we have done medicals and paid for PPRF and sent updated schedule A as requested by AVO official.

Please chief I need your candid advise, opinion and input as an experienced member.

My wife's passport and mine are with the Home Office in the UK and my wife's has expired in December last year, my will expire this August. Our appeal hearing has been heard but we haven't got a decision yet on it. Now in the UK, they do not return passports back if you ask them, the only thing they do is if you book your flight to go back to Nigeria, they will bring it at the airport on the date and time of departure. it is called a supervised departure.

So we are ready to leave the UK now for Naija but we need to plan, we need to get the passport request from AVO to be assured it is all settled and confirmed. we don't know how long it might take home office to return it. so we will need to renew our passports before sending them to AVO. Also my wife needs to do a change of name from her maiden to mine so that it will reflect in the new passport.

We are thinking of asking AVO when they request to give us a bit of time to be able to sort all of these instead of 15 days.
what do you think please?

Kind regards,

Really commend your courage in moving ahead against all odds.
I must also congratulate you and the whole family for your current status.
Regarding the time frame given at Passport request for onward submission,Accra will normally give 15 calendar days for the submission of your passports documents...this means that the passport documents must get to Accra facility of the Canadian high commission latest on the 15th day after your receive the passport requests.
A sample of the generic passport request mail normally sent by Accra Visa office is quoted below..
