Also present your submission in a logical manner. My 2kobo thought.. Kulikuli, Barsindoo and all naija seniors please share your experience

Re: NIGERIA APPLICANT PLEASE LET US NETWORK. - payment issues

Hello,

As per payment of application fee to CIO Sydney, here's what I did.

I bought a prepaid mastercard from GTB and funded it with about 100 dollars more than needed then I submitted the details in my application. I guess I took a gamble but it paid off because my AOR was issued 3 days after my credit (or more appropriately debit) card was charged.

Others might have a different opinion but I think this was the neatest arrangement I could make.

Not as far as i know. How they do the check remains unknown to me! My advice: Just try to fill in verifiable information. It's possible that they do random verifications. Alll the best!

Thanks barsindoo and Kuli. I actually dont intend to fill incorrect information. I have worked in a federal agency here in abuja for ten years now. But i just cant imagine VO visiting my ministry such that everyone now knows that she is trying to emmigrate particularly when i have not been able to fully make up my mind on this venture.

Thanks a lot for your advise.

+1.
The moment they start detecting fraudulent claims, the process will become slower, as there will be the need for verifying almost every application.

The below which I obtained from one of CIC's procedural documents should help clarify this issue:

Interviews, verifications of the authenticity of documents, site visits, investigations or seeking
clarification from applicants constitute processing. These activities may be undertaken to
determine if applicants meet the minimal requirements, can be awarded points for the selection
criteria or are inadmissible.


as outlined in R73. If the credential is not described in terms of number of years duration (i.e.,
three-year bachelor’s degree), officers should apply the definition of full-time equivalent study and
knowledge that the visa office has acquired on local education institutions and credentials.
There is a high incidence of fraud in this area. Verification checks should be conducted with
issuing institutions to ensure that program integrity standards are respected.

Use of interviews
Selection standards are objective, clearly defined and can be assessed in straightforward cases
through the information provided on the application for permanent residence and the
accompanying supporting documents.
In most cases, officers should be able to make selection decisions—either to approve or refuse
applications—from the documentation provided. However, in some cases, an interview may be
necessary.
Any concerns officers have regarding the accuracy or authenticity of information or documentation
should be communicated to the applicant, whether these concerns are raised as the result of site
visits, telephone checks or other means. Concerns can be communicated to the applicant in
writing or at interview.
Officers may conduct interviews with applicants to:
• ensure that information submitted on the application is truthful and complete;
• detect and deter fraudulent information and documents;
• clarify specific information;
• conduct quality assurance.
Officers may not conduct interviews to:
• assess language abilities;
• determine personal suitability (as this factor no longer exists).
Note: Visa offices will be expected to undertake both targeted and random verifications to detect and
deter fraud. The number and percentage of cases subjected to verification should be high enough to
act as a meaningful disincentive to those who would attempt such practices. A40 makes material
misrepresentation a grounds for inadmissibility in its own right and prescribes a two-year ban on those
both directly and indirectly involved in such practices.
Interviews, site visits and telephone checks have proven to be the most effective ways to detect
and to combat fraud. The information gained at interviews where fraud is detected will help officers
to identify current trends and patterns and to refine their profiles for ongoing use.

I trust the above helps.
