Hi my Naija Peeps,

I'm new to this room, though I registered here long ago. I need some sorts of advice & clarifications before I file my application.
I want to apply as FSW as a Plumber but I don't know my chances as I am yet to see anyone discussed this from Nigeria.
I think I qualify from the test I took; met all their requirements.

but I'm worried as I'm yet to see anyone talked about this skill in this forum; maybe there's distaste for Nigerian artisans.

Please enlighten me. I plan to take the IELTS test in January.

You stand a better chance , you can go a head to submit your application on time, all the best.
 
I will only advise you to apply if only you got what is required of the NOC. Many people think because the NOC is very scanty, they want to cash-in on it believing that CIC would immediately give them positive assessment due to shortage of applicants. This notion is not true as many Crane operators were rejected even though the application number is very low.

My 2 kobo advise gbam!

Congrats to all with PR, MR, and all d R's.


Got into discussion with some buddies and this particular issue was asked,

The issue is

1. Is it possible to process work permit after applying under fsw and even file nos has been given

2. if the work permit is granted can 1 now forward such to Accra , will it fasten the process or otherwise

Bearing in mind that you ave applied for FSW without the work permit for over a year..


Elders ova to u.

Thanks

Accra is ready to make a selection decision on your application. Fill a new form IMM0008 to add the new baby and submit with the new baby birth certificate. When the passport is ready, do the photocopy and send it to them. POF should cover the whole family(4).

Seglad - Abeg send me the link to the new form IMM0008. There are 2 links on CIC site. I got confused.

Thx, Kcsider

hi everybody,
got a mail from accra today, please find mail below and kindly advice


This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:

*
A separate and newly completed Schedule 1 Background Declaration form (IMM0008 Schedule 1) bearing original signature(s) for yourself. Update your addresses section, as the time between 09/2002 and 09/2004 is not covered. There is a gap in your Personal History between 06-09/03. You claim to have worked in lagos from 2003, but only lived there until 2002. Form can be found at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp

HELPPPPPPP
Pls can anybody advice me Schedule 1 Background Declaration form (IMM0008 Schedule 1) is not on the new cic website

Do they also need the said documents for my spouse? What if i my wife transfers money into my account,with her name showing on the bank statement, Is that ok? If we need to explain do we include a mail or something,please educate me.Also id like to get ur email addy mine is chimacuser2000 @ yahoo.co.uk
Thankyou

Yes, work photos for you as principal Applicant(although not compulsory). It's ok to transfer from your wife's account BUT why don't you just submit her bank statement as well and avoid explanation.Check your pm for my e-mail.

Note that the schedule 1 form has been replaced by Schedule A, though the content remains the same. The changes is only on the numbering that's all. So go ahead and work with the schedule A form..cheers

Phemy..
