Good morning All. I have been following this thread silently and I really appreciate the wealth of information loaded in here....well done guys. I will like some clarifications and advise please....
I was wondering who is in the best position between myself and my husband to be the lead applicant for the express entry application. My husband is a medical doctor with a masters degree. I am a lawyer also with a masters degree but I am not practising law. I work in project management (2years now) I practised law for about a year but I have also worked in customer service and administrative capacity. In total I have about 7years of work experience. Hubby has been working as a doctor for about 7-8years now but he is currently undergoing a residency training programme. I thought it should be the lead applicant since he has had a more consistent work experience...any advise on this will be welcomed please.

On the flip side I am thinking it might take longer for us to have the profile ready considering the length of time the foreign medical assessment body takes to assess foreign qualifications....

Pls house,what is the maximum score one can get with this profile, tried CRS tool and getting different scores:
Single
Age: 28
Degree: B.pharm
Work experience: 3 years +
Ielts: CLB 10 and above,I know I would get that by His grace.
Thanks for your inp

SlowlybtSurely:


About 481 if applicant is single.

Pls, what would one score in all the sections of IELTS to get a CLB of 10 and above. Also, what would be the point in CRS.

Thank you

SlowlybtSurely:


L8.5, R8.0, S7.5 and W7.5. That is CLB 10.

Hello. I will try to answer some of your questions to the best of my ability and hopefully more persons would chip in as well.
As regards the choice of a principal applicant, it simply boils down to who is younger, has the higher educational qualification and scores the highest on ielts. A masters degree and a first professional degree are awarded the same points on the CRS so you both have masters and fpd each. the choice is yours. The mbbs would take 3-6 months to get a completed ECA while the Llb would take about 2-3 weeks with IQAS.
I am not sure...but i think that if the chosen NOC is as a medical doctor, then an ECA for the mbbs would be the ideal.
As regards, NOC. you score maximum points for work experience of 3 yrs and above. However, it has to have been in 1 NOC. so you need to decide which noc you want to use for the EE process.
As for the WES, you can write them and ask them to proceed on your eca process without the bachelors transcript and they would assess just your masters alone which would give you maximum points.
However, you can also visit your uni and help the transcript/verification process along if you really want your bachelors assessed but then it would not be of any added value seeing as wes evaluates llb as bachelors degree.

Hello everyone, Pls I need an urgent advice here..I and my wife just wrote ielts and d result should be out next week. My wife is going to be the PR because of her age and MSc, I have been planning to go to a school in Canada for msc. Please, I want to know if we can continue with the EE while she's here in nigeria and I will apply for my student visa, which the school will resume September.
Also, what effect will it have if I eventually get admission into the school in Canada by September, and she's still here waiting in d pool for a nomination or something. Does that mean she will apply for the EE as married and hubby not going with her? And how will our son accompany her if she eventually gets THE PR
Pls kindly advice. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I'm really at a crossroads. ITA with WES evaluation is expiring in 2days. CRS has. Refused to come down. Do you guys think I should go ahead and submit my application? (attach d two ECA with a detailed LOE) ur suggestions will be welcome.

olurotimi1:
an ITA bird in hand is worth more than 10 ITAs in the bush. Just my 2kobo, why not support your argument with a very detailed LOe. What was your crs score sef? Best of luck

beyunce:

In my opinion,I don't think you should risk it. With your score I believe you will get ita soon. So be patient.

iphie25:


478.




I've thought of it too. This is soo confusing.

iphie25:
ok.... the vote is swaying in favour of waiting. can anyone else add their thoughts too?
