If by Employee Savings Plan you mean Retirement Savings Plan or Pension Funds, then it does not count at AVO.
Txs Toronto Raptor,
The ESP is neither gratuity nor pension. Just a savings program that one can opt out of even without retiring.

Hi Macfar,

ESP = Pension scheme doesn't appear to be recognised by AVO at the POF update stage . It is NOTone of the options AVO gives when asking for POF. Someone claimed to have used it before but my advise is that you plan your POF without factoring in your pension.

Now, with regards to cooperative, it should be allowed if the funding source is shown in your bank statement. You need to be sure your debit from your bank statement tallies with your credit in the cooperative account. ....if not. I've seen two people present it, one was accepted., the other wasn't.

Txs Preferred, The ESP is neither gratuity nor pension. Just a savings program that one can opt out of even without retiring. My cooperative contributions are reflected on my payslips cos it's company - based. So that should easily count. Without the ESP I should be fine still. I appreciate your help

Claiming points for relatives does not make your process longer or shorter we also claimed points for relatives and we got our PER when other people for our application date were getting their PER
yikelin if you already have 67 points without relative you will get PER immediately, but as in my own case I needed the 5 point to meet the 67 pts. When I call CIC they told me because I'm claiming points from my nephew that they need to verify.

Congratulations on your safe landing. May God's favour envelope you n yours.

This one weh u say "no beans sha", is it a personal preference ? Cos I'm planning to carry like 20kg of beans o :)

I have been told yam isn't allowed :( . And i been wan carry ogoja yam, Benue yam etc :mad:

But we can buy frm there :mad:
Congrats Pipis husband. At last! I am so happy for you. Congrats Motivated (we follow each other fa). And congrats to everyone with updates. Its worth the struggle.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes. It is a good land although the first couple of weeks is (and will be) unbelievably busy- forms upon forms, visiting different govt offices, finding and setting up apartment, looking for schools for kids etc.

I packed beans but dropped it a the last minute. Since Motivated brought beans, I am sure you can too. Since they didnt open bag here, u can attempt ur yam if you can scale Nigerian checks. But there is wheat and okro (we have been eating wheat swallow and okro soup with our dry fish from Naija and having fun!). There is also sweet potato to replace yam!

What I am loving most is the abundance and affordability of all kinds of fruits; the non-existence of NEPA ( :p) and the way everything is structured. Without a guide, you use google maps to plan your trips and can know to the very minute when the bus/metro will arrive.

Everyone has been welcoming, friendly and helpful. People go out of their way to help you as a new immigrant. So far so good...

CONGRATS to Pipis Husband and all others I couldn't mention (pardon me, it's bcos we have so many updates, God's name be praised).

Thank God for all the good news and not so good news so far on this thread. As the Good Book teaches us to thank God in all things, cos all things worketh together for good of those that love God and those that are called according to His purpose. Very shortly, the not so good news will be turned to great testimonies IJMN.

Been away for sometime now due to work and some active roles played in the last election. I pray for continuous peace and prosperity of our dear Country. Once again, I am proud of all citizens of our great Country who worked hard for change and also our outgoing President who allowed for a peaceful, transparent process and showed statesmanship by conceding defeat. May God continue to bless our Country Nigeria and our future new Country Canada.

Happy Easter to you all.

Ussave.
