Thanks to this forum for all your help. So excited. I feel like doing break dance.Yaay ;D

 

[Canada-here we come]

Amen in Jesus name. Your period was during d PER boom season but this time, PER is not as much during your. Even NDVO with avalanche application still deliver within 60 days period. Polish VO is now responding in about 30 days with AOR nd MR sharply. Make AVO increase dia speed jor.

Thanks for your response anyway.

My people these visa offices u mentioned are in developed economies where verification of data submitted is done most times via computer(emails )etc. But here in developing worlds, verification takes longer because its not always that straight forward.

Be patient. Or do you think that every file that gets to visa office is supposed to get automatic visa?

it would shock you if you know the number of cases that are detected as misrepresentation.

cheers

NOC 1212, what certification do i need for this NOC and how i get some?

Hi, for Supervisors, finance and insurance office workers - 1212, there are so many certifications available. It depends on where/what direction you want to take your career.

There is PMP, CBAP, Financial Risk Management (FRM), CFA, Canadian Securities Course (CSC), General Insurance Essentials (GIE) and Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP).

These certification are not restricted but open to anybody who has finance, banking, insurance and related backgrounds. Just check online, Google, everything you need to know is on the web, cheers.

Hello house, peeps who have sent family pictures to AVO, please share how you did it. Did you make coloured copies or you sent the originals?

Hi, please note that except where expressly stated, send only copies in response to CIO and AVO. So for your photos, keep your originals and send only the coloured copies. You're fortunate that you keep them electronically, that is a very wise move and makes your life easy as you only have to take your storage device to any digital photography studio for reprints. All the best.

 

[Ed_b_good]

Thank you, wishing you God's favour in yours too.

Big Congrats Uzoma! Wish you speeding processing in the remaining stages.

Well i dont know about Canada but for US and UK, what i've done in the past is to print it on A4 paper. This availed me the opportunity of printing several pictures on one page and gives opportunity to present loads of evidence.

For us, we mixed some real prints with the colored reprints. But we scanned all for our records. Also, I opened a dropbox with many digital pictures (and a few scanned) and sent the link (in a mail and in printed response) with the album containing the pictures. We got a cheap, light album, tore off the front and back (heavier pages) and arranged all the pictures chronologically with small notes explaining eg XXX at 3 months; xx at 4 years with baby sister, etc.

No problem after that. we are awaiting our passports pickup mail. We are also expecting our pictures and some original documents requested (like birth cert, immunization card) to come back with the visas.

We felt real printing was a small price to pay. But am sure colored normal printer prints will do as well.

I just remembered something, if you are sharing a dropbox link, pls use a shortened link that you can monitor. Dropbox doesnt have any way of seeing when someone clicks on your link and during the days of agonizing worry, I wished I could tell if the VO visited the page ;D

So sorry to ask, how many numbers of pictures can we be looking at.

Are we to gather pictures from marriage to child birth and up to date?

So if they say album, we do album and if they say pictures, can we print on several A4 papers and send along with scanned copies.

Thanks
