FSW 2014 applicants from Nigeria - Let's network

[Sulay8961]

Hi All,

I applied for FSW in Sept 2014. Got request for medicals and police report in 2015 which I submitted then. I had my son in Q4 2015 and informed them, they requested for his medicals and additional forms in May 2016. I sent all these to them and get trying to follow up with emails. They replied once saying all requested information had been received and nothing is required from me at the moment.
Yesterday, I received an email from Accra asking me to provide medical and police certificates and the same additional forms I submitted in 2016. My question is, are they asking for another medical check and police certificate again because the ones I submitted have obviously past the 12month (for me and hubby) though my son's own is still valid or so I should follow up with them to mention the fact that I sent these my son's medical and additional forms to them last year June and just send a new medical and police check for hubby and I.
It is a bit upsetting to realise that I have to do these again for all the countries I visited through no fault of mine.

Is there anyone that had this sort of situation and what did you do?
Please any advice will be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Anne

You do not have much of a choice in all honesty. Some certain documents and their validity cannot be overlooked. I am sure your IELTS result would have since expired and you haven't been requested to resit another test cos IELTS can be overlooked. The volume of applications slows the process and although it is not your fault you just have to live with a bad situation. Get all the documents they have asked for and resubmit. Nigeria is crazy enough to motivate you to go through that loop.

All the very best

Hi All,

I applied for FSW in Sept 2014. Got request for medicals and police report in 2015 which I submitted then Medical results are only valid for one year, Nigerian police certificates are valid for only 3 months. All these since submitted are no longer valid. I had my son in Q4 2015 and informed them, they requested for his medicals and additional forms in May 2016 His medicals are also no longer valid since it is over a year. I sent all these to them and get trying to follow up with emails. They replied once saying all requested information had been received and nothing is required from me at the moment.
Yesterday, I received an email from Accra asking me to provide medical and police certificates and the same additional forms I submitted in 2016. My question is, are they asking for another medical check and police certificate again Yes, you need to get new, fresh medical tests and police certificates because the ones I submitted have obviously past the 12month (for me and hubby) though my son's own is still valid His is no longer valid or so I should follow up with them to mention the fact that I sent these my son's medical and additional forms to them last year June and just send a new medical and police check for hubby and I.
It is a bit upsetting to realise that I have to do these again for all the countries I visited through no fault of mine. For Nigeria, you need fresh PCC. For other countries, if you have not revisited them since, state as such and you won't need to get new ones.

Is there anyone that had this sort of situation and what did you do? This is common for anyone who's medical was done over a year, it is not a new practice. Just take it as part of the journey, you are getting close to completion now.
Please any advice will be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Anne

Please is their any agencies that can help me in getting job their in Canada.please send me their contact.tnx

For plumbing, there are no agencies that will hire you from outside Canada as there are already many plumbers all over the country here. Anybody who tells you it is possible is only trying to scam you and you may end up with regret. You can still get to immigrate to Canada but through the Skilled Trades Stream of the Express Entry. Study the process at this link and apply yourself, it is doable, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/trades/apply-who.asp

i got my ielts result few days ago,which made my crs points shoot up to 453.My question is

is it advisable to plunge into the EE pool since i recently got MR for my november 2014 fsw application.(Medical passed) and PPRF paid.

If i go ahead with the EE profile and get ITA,will i need to pay the application fee,PPRF fees and take a new medical examination again.My medical was done this month and PPRF paid this month too.

As the old FSW and the current EE program are 2 separate immigration channels, you will pay application fee again to proceed with the EE as well as RPRF. If your medicals were done less than a year ago however, they may suffice for the EE application. The choice to proceed with the EE is up to you but you will soon be asked to pick one you will proceed with and one to terminate.

I do not see why you should forgo your FSW application that is almost getting concluded. If I'm getting it right, you're just waiting for PPR mail which is just one step away to conclusion of the entire long process. You're almost there, your PPR mail would soon hit your inbox. Wishing you all the best!
