Hello all,
I just started following this thread again yesterday. Even though I have done my WES and IELTS since last year, I decided to wait for the EE instead of FSWP. I just created my EE profile yesterday and I started swimming in the pool few minutes afterwards. I have been encouraged by all the contributors to this thread and I also want to render the little help I can. I have a very good IELTS material (which I used myself). Its The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS Student's Book with Answers. All the audios for the listening tests and 17 sample videos from live speaking tests are included. You can PM me if you need the materials and I will send you the download link (1GB approximately). Its now your duty to find a way of downloading it. Cheers and goodluck to all.

@wordsmithng...tnks so much for your response...I was surprised when I got the mail for the interview. If I may ask, have you been there for the interview before? If yes, where you sent a mail for the medicals after the interview. Tnks for your response!

Don't worry like someone here said just make sure you remember all the details you put down on your forms and maintain eye contact with the interviewer. It's more of an informal meeting than an inquisition. To be honest I think most times they just want to meet the applicant in person to OK it. At the end he told me the visa would be given to me pending medicals. So I am waiting on them to send the medical forms through. Good luck!

a) Police certificates

You will need to get police certificates for you and each of your family members who are over 18(the family part is for those who are married or have a common law partner). You must get one from each country or territory where you have lived for six or more consecutive months since the age of 18.

In some countries, it can take a long time to get police certificates. If you did not start the process to get them before you were invited to apply, you should do this right away, so you can submit them before the 60 days are up

b) Since you are not married, then you are a single applicant. You cannot include your parents or siblings, family under CIC means wife and children and as such, the prrof of funds you need is only for you as a single applicant

c) You need six years of related work experience to get the maximum score for points allocated to work experience. The requirement is just one year work experience but for the sake of getting a high score and boost your chances of being selected, you should muster all relevant work experience that you have, which may mean getting the company you worked with in the UK to give you a reference letter that you worked with them for whatever the period is, your position and job duties, the no of hours you work in a week and the annual salary. The reference letter should be on company letterhead with email address, phone number, fax, etc and it should be signed by your supervisor. If you however cant get the letter, you will have to write to them to explain why. Regarding your self-employed details, "you must provide certificate of incorporation of your business or evidence of business ownership, letter of reference from clients, documentation from 3rd party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details, also evidence of self-employed income. Self declared main duties or affidavits are not sufficient evidence of work experience". The quoted is taken from a sample of the document checklist of required documents to be submitted after one might have been invited to apply for permanent residency but i think you ca take a cue from that.

Please im still waiting for response to my question. Thanks

JesusDWay:


The implication is that you should be prepared to pay so much money for school fees if you wanna go via school. Also, from what I've been seeing recently, seem getting a PR is easier via migration programmed like EE than wanting to use school to stay back there, the kind of visa you get after school is post graduate work permit which won't afford you access to what a permanent resident will enjoy. It also usually have expiry date and like a friend of mine, he had to register and paid like 6kdollars for another programme so he can keep extending the visa. Infact, seem it's harder for those who are already there to convert even via express entry, than those applying from outside Canada. If your goal of entering Canada is to later settle there, I may suggest you follow EE through and through cuz, even if you want to school there as a permanent resident, you pay same school fees as an home student however, I won't also discourage you from trying school but be ready to pay. Finally, there's not gonna be any clash or suspicion from the Canadian authorities, they are two separate stuffs and you won't penalized for anything I believe. For school, you apply through Canadian embassy in Nigeria but for migration, it goes to Ghana

brightooooo:
pls don't be upset by my numerous questions, this responses you said here reminded me to ask you this, pls i want to know the type visa i will apply for this! i also want to go through Nursing body apart from EE, there's only one exam that i have to take which is NCLEX if i pass it i will be licensed to practice, so my Question now is which type of visa should i apply for, through Ghana or Nigeria pls? Thanks

Hi everyone,
To say the least, this forum has been extremely resourseful.
I got an MR mail from AVO this afternoon with attached forms for me, spouse and kid - I'm FSW 2014 applicant.
Kindly advice on which of the approved medical centre is better in Lagos especially in terms of cost.
Other relevant advice and suggestions too will be appreciated.

JesusDWay:


You are qualified. You however need to write IELTS General and please, ensure you score the highest you can as it helps with the number of points you get. You can evaluate the two qualifications, as I've seen recently how some people said their masters wasn't evaluated to be equivalent of canadian masters, just like pgd

technolee:
Congratulations. What is your timeline like please?

LadyGuinivere:

Thanks Tola dearie. I haven't followed thr thread in a while. Pls has there been anything on job change or salary increase cos I experienced both since 2013.

wordsmithng:

Hi there. They will simply be asking you about your job (what you do on a daily basis), they might search through your current account to see that your pay comes in regularly , they will ask you what you intend to do in Canada and how you will quickly settle, and also in the event you are denied what your future plans are. That's it in a nutshell.

Thanks damkollins for the advice, I really appreciate your support. I was about raising the CSE to Accra when I got to the point where I am suppose to select the type of application in which the options are:

*Permanent residence in Canada
*Student
*Visitor
*Worker

Given the fact that my application is for "Permanent residence in Canada in the Federal Skilled Worker class"; will I be selecting *Permanent residence in Canada option or *Worker option ?
