NIGERIA APPLICANT PLEASE LET US NETWORK.

Hello everyone,

After waiting for 57 days, my AOR finally came yesterday. I'm so happy right now and looking forward to the other steps in the application process. In my opinion, the delay might be due to huge application pool in the FSW scheme this year as the average days for AOR for PNP prior to commencement of FSW this May is 30 days.

Thanks to everyone for your support.

Congratulations

The best place to start is the CIC website. The process is quite straightforward. Just read the requirements and assess yourself to see if you have the required points.

Hello Antbanks,
Welcome aboard a great forum where selflessness is our watch word.
We look forward to your valuable contributions as well.
Congratulations on the notifications received so far especially your ecas update. It is a step in the right direction. I am not aware of any schedule maintained by admin of this webpage. However you should be able to draw inferences from fellow applicants that you share similar timelines. You will get to know more members in due course.
I wish you the very best...

The way each VO operates is different from the other but from my own experience with Accra, they do background check mostly on Security via Police Reports sent to them and also on finances(via bank statement of account).

It all depends on how you packaged your application and how genuine and enough are the documents presented, for me, the only background check was on Security, Birth Certs and my Marriage Cert; no interviews or visitations involved.

Hope this helps...

All the best!

Hi dear senior member, you said part of background check is on security via police reports. But if I have already submitted the police certificate from specific country, what kind of other reports do they need in addition? I'm confused...

You don't need to be worried or confused. As long as your application was done in accordance with the rules and you supplied all required documentation, you will be fine.

A general info for the house, this could help someone you know who is applying through MPNP.

Effective August 1st 2014: New Application Management Strategy takes effect to reduce processing times to less than 6 months by 2015

There's a new warning found on MPNP website. They will be stopping by July 31, 2014 to accept new applicants:

2014 Overseas Application Deadline: Under the new MPNP application management strategy, applications from skilled workers overseas must be received by the MPNP no later than July 31. MORE

Go to immigratemanitoba site for more info.

In another news .....

Notice – Changes to the definition of a dependent child

June 23, 2014 — Effective August 1, 2014, the definition of a dependent child is changing for Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (CIC’s) immigration programs.

The age at which a child will be considered a dependant is being reduced, from under 22 to under 19.

The exception for full-time students is also being removed. Children of applicants who are 19 or over but are financially dependent on their parents and are enrolled in full-time studies will no longer be eligible to be processed as dependent children.

In all cases, a child will continue to be considered a dependant, regardless of age, if they have depended on their parents for financial support because of a mental or physical condition.

Reducing the age for dependants to under 19 in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) will bring the IRPR in line with provincial definitions of “age of majority,” which is currently evenly split between 18 and 19 across provinces and territories.

Young adults will be able to apply to come to Canada on their own merits, as foreign students or through various economic programs.

All permanent resident applications in CIC inventories before August 1, 2014 will continue to benefit from the pre-amendment definition of dependent child.

Transitional measures will allow certain applicants under multi-step permanent resident immigration programs who are already in the immigration process at the time these regulations come into force on August 1, 2014, but who have not yet submitted their application for permanent residence, to have their applications completed based on the previous definition of dependent child.

These transitional measures will apply to certain groups, including:
•Provincial Nominee Program applicants;
•Applicants who have applied under one of Quebec’s economic programs;
•Live-in caregivers;
•Refugees abroad and refugee claimants;
•Quebec humanitarian cases;
•Parents or grandparents whose sponsorship applications were received before November 5, 2011; and
•Privately sponsored refugees whose sponsorship applications were received before October 18, 2012.

In addition, as of August 1, 2014, to ensure that children who meet the definition of dependent child at the first stage of a multi-step permanent resident immigration program remain eligible throughout what can be a multi-year process; the child’s age will be “locked in” at the first formal step of the immigration process. For example, the age of a child whose parent applies to the Provincial Nominee Program will be “locked in” on the date that the application for nomination is made to the province.

The change in the definition comes into force on August 1, 2014; however the regulatory package has now been published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, and can be found on their website.

For more information, please visit CIC's website.

Baba Kura,

This is a serious issue. Good to make use of all opportunities whenever it comes.
