solomonwis:

very very laughable...They seem to me to be making a mockery of the processing speed. But believe me,so many people especially the prospective applicants will be happy seeing this slow pace.

Go to a cafe, pull out all on ur flash and study offline on ur laptop or sth. One week of studying away from a workplace is better than one month while working.

ferdimako:
I got it now...was thinking once u graduate... u belong to NMC only. Yea..most nurses don't tell their mates. Many don't follow up after learning abt it either. How I wish u can contact d one in Oz.

pls, i hope is not too late to start the application process and pls what is the address my transcript shld sent to.thank u very much

[color=#006600][b]Depending on your NOC or profession ,it's not too late.............infact,start your preparations as soon as you can.
On whereor address to send your transcripts to ,i think you are leaving a step behind.
You need to first visit http://www.wes.org/ca/fswp/index.asp to register your candidateship and pay for the evaluation cost of around $300.
This is the first step...........you can pay the cash with your Nigerian debit or credit card for any of our commercial banks.
After this,a reference number will be given to you .There is also a form "academic transcripts request form " to be downloaded by you and subsequently filled.A portion of the form is also meant to be filled by your academic institution officials saddled with responsibility of releasing your transcripts .This form nd your official transcript will be in the same sealed envelope to be sent by courier to WES office in Canada.The address to send it to is on the left hand side at the footer of the academic request form.This is the address your school will send it to.
You must also remember that on your own part,you will also photocopy your degree certificate either colored or black&white......and send it by courier simultaneously as when your school send your transcripts.
Your school send your transcripts with academic request form by courier.
You also send photocopy of your degree certificate by courier too.
I took time to explain because it seems to me you also3ant to send your transcripts to an address without registering.
Another advice is for you to evaluate yourself very well before commencing to discover your eligibility using your Age,years of experence,academic evaluation(described above),use of language......IELTS and adaptability.
If possible ,try to flip through the pages from beginning for answers to your potential questions..........also,we have some gurus here that can always respond to your request Soooooo be rest assured that you will be guided right.
Cheers.[/b][/color]

shola7777777: I appreciate great work u guys are doing here. Pls I nid an advice on dis: I m running an online bsc program in one university in carribean island And studying human resource management which I will finish soon. I discovered that human resource is one of eligible job for FSW in canada. I m in my early 30's And married wit a kid. I have a company that I run And cash flows in my company account. Kindly advice if I m eligible to apply for canadian FSW as my dream is to live And work in canada. What are the steps to follow. Thank you in anticipation.

damkollins:
[b]Like I said....I don't know your profession as you need to be sure its part of the 50 advertised NOCs.
Check the list of professions here in the link below
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/complete-applications.asp
Summarily from the info you gave...I'll like to do a pre-eligibility test for you knowing fully well that you need minimum of 67 points to be eligible.
*Age - Late 20s --- 12 points
*Education (after evaluation) ------21 points
* Years of experience -------------11 points
*Use of English (IELTS test)--------Yet to write.
Relative in Canada------------------0
Spouse IELTS ----------------------0

My pre-evaluation based on the info you gave suggests that you have 12 + 21 +11 = 44 points.
It shows you need 23 points more to have 67 to be eligible.
IELTS has a test maximum score of 24 points....all you need to do is to get 23 or 24 points...and you will be qualified....its attainable if you really desire it.
My advice is that you commence your evaluation immediately while you start preparation for IELTS.
Cheers.[/b]

shakol91: I know you are not a MOD,pls I've not been able to find English clinic thread on Education thread. Pls can you start that,I really need your help

damkollins:
Check your eligibility out from this link...read and digest it.

After understanding it.....you can extract your concerns out for gurus here to assist you.

kart042000: Hello house,
Has anybody qualified for the may 2014 fswp?

I have sent my documents to wes, but when I tried paying with my gtb acct, it was declined, so I had to send the money to a friend in Canada to pay for me
. I excluded the international postage and changed my personal address to that of my friend .
My question is; would it be posted to billing address or personal address? because he has left his billing address.
Once they send the verification to him, is it ok if I fill all the forms and send to him to help post it in canada? Or it is best he ssens the wes result to me, then I post it to ghana.

I have heard conflicting answers as to how long the process takes, can someone please state the duration.

ferdimako:
Hurray...papindinho has created one.

WoodcrestMayor: Welldone guys.A whole lot of info on this thread
I want to know how long it take to complete the PR process.I know there are times for various regions on the CIC website but I want an answer from experience.The times wey dey their site no make.sense.If u have received PR or you know someone who has please share...I need to encourage myself

solomonwis:

You need PCC for everyone (spouse,children and adopted children above the age of 18 years) whether they are accompanying you to Canada or not.

My uncle left in 2012 and it took about 18 months to process and move. Someone told me that the process will be faster with the proposed launch of the Express Entry.
Keeping fingers crossed.

meta4: hello House, i plan to take advantage of this time to apply. i have seen that a National ID is required, is that seperate from my International passport? my is the drivers licence acceptable although mine has expired and the temporal one issued to me from FRSC has even expired too in feb, 2014.
please idea where i can do a National ID card in Ibadan?
i heard the process for 2014 would take about 12 months to process less than previous ones done.

unibadan: Hello my fellow Nairalanders,

While i await my credential evaluation from ICAS, which is the only document left, i would like to as if possible for me to apply without including my wife and children. The required information will be supplied, but while paying the application fee, i am going to pay as principal applicant only without paying for my wife and children. When settled, i can then apply for them under family sponsorship.

Kindly help or advice on this my option.

I am considering this option due to financial constraint as it is required that proof of funds must cover your family immigrating with you.

Thank you.
