Place an enquiry across to your bank. They shoud be able to say if it was presented to their correspondent bank.

I'm new to this platform, though i've been following comments for a while now, and being for nigerians i really am impressed by the way issues are attended to here so i decided to join today, Just sent in my application under NOC 1224 and it was received on the 25th at 13:06 by a "Macneil", i'm not looking forward to a reply soon as i feel my application might be moved to the EE program next year. My question actually is do i still stand a chance to fall under the FSWP 2014 and 2ndly, i took my IELTS in Dec 2012 and is to be valid till Dec this year since it has a 2 year validity, Since the application has gotten to the CIC before that date hope it will not be returned as my scores were (L:7.0, R:7.5, W:7.0, S:7.0). Really appreciate your response.

You will only know if you call your bank. Using the CC charging of other applicant that submitted around the same time as you (+ 1 week)or wait till PER/NER is issued which will be sometimes in late December or early January based on your timeline.
Good luck.

The info on the EE is still scanty. No one knows exactly what will happen.
Per IELTS, I think you should be fine. Below is an excerpt from CIC website
" Note: Your test results must be less than two years old when you apply."

Good luck.

We were not told to undress and that's probably based on the answers to the previous questions like, Have you had a surgery before? Have you deliberately injured or did you have any thought of injuring yourself? (Guess that's trying to check for depression symptoms). what the doctor just checked was our stomach regions for adult. Told us to stretch our hands to our toes asking for any pain felt, lie down on your back, raise your legs to an angle to check for pain, checks your eyes, mouth,ear, try to pull your hand and tells you to restraint you. Am sure all these are to test for different things. Dr Bikerboy can help us out if he hasn't zoomed far away. Although it appeared really simple. For the kids less than 5, not much test was done, no urine, blood test or X-ray just physical examination. Also, weight,height,reading test with or without glasses, bp.
In all it was a simple process and I must say I quite admire their professionalism at Q-life. Best wishes bro!
Thanks alot Canadian mum.

My question actually is do i still stand a chance to fall under the FSWP 2014 No, you are applying under FSW and your application will be processed accordingly. EE is a different program, you will not not be shunted unto that program even though it begins in January 2015.

The two programs will run side by side until the last FSW application that is accepted is completed then it will be closed. EE will be the new program that Canada uses, cheers.


2ndly, i took my IELTS in Dec 2012 and is to be valid till Dec this year since it has a 2 year validity, Since the application has gotten to the CIC before that date hope it will not be returned as my scores were (L:7.0, R:7.5, W:7.0, S:7.0). Really appreciate your response.
No, this IELTS result will be accepted as it is still valid until December. Your application will be 'locked in' based on the received date
Hi, welcome aboard. See above for my responses and please enter your details on our spreadsheet. The link for that is provided below, cheers :)

Hello folks, am new here and I need help with the Federal skilled migrant . I work as a data base administrator here in Nigeria. I took the eligibility test and it came out I qualify and I can apply for the federal skilled program using an open work permit.But the form required from me in the document checklist is contradicting. While filling the form they asked what type of visa am applying for,but skilled worker wasn't among the list ,the only option that looks familiar was post graduate work permit.Please can anyone help me with the info of the correct application to make.Cheers

My friend in Canada helped us with the bank draft from a bank in Canada, so can she go there to inquire?

Yes of course. Since she raised the draft, she is perfectly allowed to make inquiries on its status. :)

It is quite easier for your friend in Canada to verify if it has been cleared. A phone call to the bank will provide him/her with an update. Good luck!
