Good day everyone, I would like to ask; does one’s class of grade affect WES evaluation, let’s for example ; one graduated with a third class, does the person still stand a chance for consideration in express entry pool. Thanks in anticipation as I await replies.

MaameU:
Hi future Canadian neighbours, I really need your opinions. My spouse just got his study permit application approved. He is supposed to start studies in September. I also received an NOI from Ontario and already submitted my application a month ago. I am not sure when I will get nomination. My question is since PR is our main goal (he applied for his visa at that time because we weren't sure I would get a NOI ), should I encourage him to wait patiently till I get the PPR and save the school fees money for something else ? Please note that his school is in Nova Scotia and if I receive nomination and eventually PPR we need to stay in Ontario till Citizenship as per my understanding. What do you guys think?

There won’t be a problem, express entry is different from study visa/application . Just go ahead with you application and back it up with prayer.

Good morning
Please I want to ask how long it takes to get Accra vfs tracking number or any information from the vfs.
We sent passport to Ghana vfs directly through dhl, and from the dhl tracking it was delivered on Wednesday.
But we haven’t heard anything from vfs Accra if they have received it or not.. or any mail to acknowledge it. Please those who sent passport directly to Accra vfs.. did you experience the same

GraciousWords:


One or two people on Canada.visa say they have done this.

It doesn't seem clear if IRCC will recalculate CRS or treat it like someone who was single and got married post AOR, PPR or COPR (where CRS is not recalculated.)

If IRCC recalculates CRS, then changing spouse from non accompanying to accompanying for the average PNP applicant is a no brainer. Their recalculated CRS go still stand gidigba and typically exceed the CRS of the draw that invited them (thanks to 600 points).

For regular FSW, whose CRS may not survive recalculation, it may be a gamble.

Some options that come to mind:
1. Contact an immigration lawyer to be sure and go ahead if you are convinced the outcome will be positive
2. Land alone and spouse applies for visit, study visa or work permit after your landing
3. Land alone and sponsor spouse (I suspect this is usually the plan for non-accompanying spouse crew)
5. Land alone, soft landing, return to Naija to stay with spouse and think through other options within the next 2 years.

All the best!

So I said let me share the good news!!!

Good evening house...please I have a few questions on passport stamping.

1. I plan to send my passport through VFS Lagos. Do I have to pay the transmission fee if I did my biometrics in the Lagos office? I still have the white slips we were given during biometrics.

2. I am sending passports for a family of 3. Can I use a single envelope for all our passports/documents?

Davidganna10:
Capital NO, you are good to go.

GraciousWords:


Really depends on your family's priorities.

Do other members of the family have visas (visit or OWP) that permits you all to accompany oga immediately? If you do I would say, you all plan to go in Aug/Sep.

Even if you all don't, if money is not a problem and you are not worried about being away from spouse, then he can plan to leave sometime in Aug/Sep...I say Aug/Sep because you still have 2/3 months from now within which they could approve your PR application.

If money is tight and you don't want to be separated from each other, you could decide to forget about school totally. Only concern is the wait time to the approval of your PR. Doing this means you are making the assumption that PR approval is certain.

If it were me, I would let hubby go (or the whole family go if we all have visas), we'll struggle to pay fees one semester at a time until we get PR......a bird in hand....When you get PR, as PNP you'll need to leave Nova Scotia for ON and abandon school or complete it by distance learning, if possible.

Prettiepearlz:

Says who? Do you understand the implication of what he wrote? So what if his application falls into the hand of a VO that is very detailed and decides to check? Please let’s be careful with the kind of advice we give people when it comes to sensitive issues like this.
@Ade9k, please do as GraciousWords has said. You need to put in a strong LOE detailing why you didn’t include it in your student visa application. A guy had the same issue and he was given a PFL. Once given a PFL, it takes the grace of God to come back victorious.

Bellatrixx:


Thank you.

Yes I got a mail with details on how to request for delivery using their courier service. A consent form and the mail address to forward all necessary correspondence to.

MrWalterW83:
Hello everyone. This is a follow-up to some questions I asked previously and I appreciate your answers then. Like I said then, I studied engineering and I served for a year in the engineering department of a ministry. For close to 4 years now I've been managing my family business. It is actually a pure water company. Initially I was doing it for free, but I recently started receiving payment for the work I am doing there so as to begin to build a salary trail for myself. The amount I'm being paid from the company is N200k. Thus, I have a couple of questions:
1) Can a pure water company be accepted as a legitimate company for the purposes of Canadian immigration?
2) Is the N200k excessive to receive as salary for managing such a company?
3) Is there a NOC for business management or something similar?
4) Does it matter that it is a family-owned company? Any letter (such as recommendation letter) would be written by Dad and that would make the relationship between us obvious as it would show we share a surname.
s) Can you use experience from 2 totally different jobs? For example could I use one year of my engineering experience at the ministry and combine that with the couple of years at my family's company?
6) If question 5 above is possible, how does that affect the NOC you're supposed to pick? I believe you're limited to choosing just one NOC. Does that mean that you select a NOC that covers one of the 2 jobs while ignoring the other one?

I apologise if some of these questions have been previously answered here and I thank you in advance for your replies.

InformationPro:
Hi guys. Please can ASUU strike delay credentials evaluation? My sister has been waiting for over 2 months now, yet no feedback.

elhadji19:

I dont think it can because I believe transcript process is been handled by non academic staff. But it is better to get in touch with the school. You have to monitor the process

Mjhay:





Thank you for the reply, which type of evaluation would you advice. Course by course Or document by document.

AchieverJ:
Ok, so, I think I should gist you all...
Key points mainly, so it is not too lengthy!
I paid for my WES evaluation Feb 2020.
Evaluation wasn't ready until Oct 2020 due to back and forth for my Poly, I did two degrees.
I wrote IELTS in Nov and result was out in Dec 2020.
I created an express entry profile and received ITA within 3 days for FSW.
I submitted my application and received AOR Feb 5th, 2021.
There was a deafening silence that I had to come to this Nairaland community for solace.
Mind you, I've been running all my package solo through personal study and research.
I realised some things might have been easier if I were here earlier, but we move.
The encouragement from here and people having similar long wait kept my sanity together.
Requested for GCMS notes in Feb 2022 and received an ADR by Feb 24.
I quickly got the PCC, schedule A and medical done within a week.
After waiting for almost two months after documents have been received, I requested for another GCMS notes, so, it won't look like I didnt do anything.
PPR came in the next day! April 26
Apparently, both GCMS notes were needless!
I'm sure you know the joy that comes with PPR, right?
Dropped off my passport the next day with DHL.
Used VFS lagos because I felt I wasn't in a haste to travel.
I felt I needed the time to look for job and make all my plannings.
I changed my location on LinkedIn to Toronto and applied for a job I saw on glassdoor.
In two weeks, I was poached by 4 recruiters.
Thanks to the Canadian number I got using dingtone which I learnt about on this platform.
Phone call was always their first point of contact.
One of the recruiters terminated the process because I told him I was currently in Nigeria and he needed someone urgently.
I had series of interviews with the other 3 companies.
I received a rejection mail from the company I applied directly to from glassdoor.
Two weeks ago, I got an offer from one of the company, 113k per annum.
I withdrew my application for one of the company which was not in Ontario.
Last week, I received a 2nd offer which I had to decline. 96k per annum.
My flight is booked, my passport came back yesterday, 15th June.
Funny enough, I didn't receive any more message from any recruiter apart from those 4.

Why this long story?
Delay isn’t denial!
God's timing is usually the best!
Do not lose hope!
Yes, you can get that dream job of yours!
You don't have to do a menial job first.
You can get a good job from here.

Please, keep hope alive....
One love ❤
Peace
