@ dupyshoo and JesusDway,

I appreciate thanks.

You are likely a NOC 0231 not 1221

I think you mean NOC 0213 Computer and information systems managers. Also check NOC 2171 Information systems analysts and consultants. It is more suited to most IT Roles. Both 0213 and 2171 are on the demand list for SNIP. Check the main duties on both to see if any one suits your position better.

dupyshoo:
Most provinces are not accepting applications currently except if you have a job offer or you have studied in the province. What I will advise is for you to check the websites of all the provinces, check if you are eligible and apply if they are taking applications. If they are not taking applications, keep monitoring the website until new slots are open.

I have posted about all PNPs before. Check this link for the post: https://www.nairaland.com/2624318/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/144#47208480

Hi, please what if the job offer is dependent on having a visa to work in Canada? Must I get the offer before applying?

Hello,

Pls is any one having issues making payment for ECA on IQAS payment portal.

Been using GTB and FCMB card but not going through. Pls help.

With the way crs score is going above 500....will there be hope again?

Maybe it's time to focus on another country as Canada is much more competitive now than before.

Hello House, i just stumbled on this thread not long ago. well done to you guys.
I need your advice please. My evaluation has been completed by WES but I am yet to receive the hard copy. I have sent several mails on their site with my reference number but i am yet to receive any response from them.
What can i do please?

Good morning all.Please I a friend of mine wants to apply but he doesn't know his NOC .He holds a BSc in Sociology and Anthropology,and has worked as an Administrative Assistant with a firm.

Good morning all,

just want to know, from those with the experience , does it mean that if one does not have up to 491 or 500 score the person does not stand chance at all.

Why do you need the Hard Copy thou I have mine, when u get ITA you just need to quote the reference number in your application. CIC will have electonic access to your wes when making a decision.
You can wait for the hard copy thou, but the soft copy is also useful just in case you want to attach in your application, as for Provincial nominee you need wes to send your report tom them directly which you pay for seperately. Regards.

If the amount you paid is 233.91CAD, it means you chose the option of them using normal mail to post the hardcopy to you and that's something you cant determine when it will get to you but, if its 322CAD you paid, they are supposed to send it to you via UPS i think, and UPS seems to take 7days.

Good morning seniors and gurus in ghe house.
I just started following all posts with keen interest and I must say you all have been wlnderful.

Please I am seriously considering a change of environment and would like to apply for the skilled work programme.
I am blessed to be working in the very lucrative sector and the POF will hopefully not be an issue. I have started with the WES procedures and my husband and self will hopefully do the IELTS test come November.

I have done several eligibility tests like 4 times and was told am very qualified. Although my main intention is for the children to have a better life because we have teenagers on the verge of going off to school for A level next year.
My questions/clarification:
1. On determining your NOC, do you consider your proffession or your qualification because I couldnt find mine.
My qualification BSC Banking, and MBA, Proffession (Contract Administration , procurement and I have also worked as an executive administrator too all together I have 20 yrs of of work experience) but I am 44yrs. I couldnt find something that fits in the NOC. Can someone help?
2. My husband BSC Economics bjt proffessionally for almost 25yrs been into interior decoration but he is gonna be 50yrs by the end of the year. Though he doesnt plan to live there do you think his age could be an issue ?

Thanks and Regards God Bless

Your husband's age wont be an issue if you are the Principal Applicant but tell him to score nothing less than 6.0 in each of the segement of the IELTS Exam when you guys eventually take the exam. Your NOC should be 1225 and fortunately for you, you can use it to apply for SINP nomination which can help you secure extra 600points. However, to qualify to enter the pool, you need to have like CLB 9 or 10 in your IELTS. I mean, try to score 8.5 or 8 in Listening, 8 in Reading and 8 or 7.5 in both Speaking and Writing. Try very well to prepare for the exam, you will be happy at the end of the day you did. Regarding SINP, you have to prepare your pof NOW NOW cuz they require the sum of funds for your family size must have been in your account for 3months prior to application and there must be history to show it did not diminish at any point therefore, you can target their January application since your IELTS is in November and if you have prepared the pof now, by January you would have met the 3months requirement and as such, your application should be smooth sailing.

Hello house.
I have a little over 4 years experience in two different NOCs- one is 2yrs 3months and the other is 2 years. While filling me EE profile I filled that I have 3 years or more work experience. Could this constitute a problem?

Saturi:
Am trying to make IQAS payment for my ECA but not going through, used both GTB and FCMB Master Debit Card.

My observation is, the payment method on the platform highlights credit cards/interac online and there is no option to select debit card as widely used here or is there something am missing.

Pls advise.

Pls how did u resolve urs my gtb is not going too

Thanks@Jesusdway.A friend of mine holds a BSc in Mass Communication and currently doingher Msc in Mass Communication.she would love to apply also but don't know her NOC either.She did an intern with a public relations department in an oil and gas firm,and I also did her 1yr nysc with a local government council.Presently she is self employed while doing her Msc,can she still apply?.

From what I hv heard from those who got rejection after submitting documents after ITA. You need the hard copy scan it along with ur certificates even thou your reference number is there.

The hard copy has an official stamp on it while soft copy doesn't. Some people where rejected because they dint attach a copy of the ECA report along with credentials, while some because of the stamp.

All cases were on the grounds of incomplete documentation. It's better to send everything than to be sorry later

No it doesn't constitute any problem you can use more than 3 NOC in your profile. Just make sure you have the right NOC, state the years each NOC is for eg NOC 1221 Feb 2010- Dec 2013, NOC 1112 Jan 2014- Dec 2015 etc

She can apply, she will use what she did while working to search out the correct NOC

it appears debit cards like ATM cards are no longer acceptable to process payments on IQAS website, you gotta get credit card to use in making the payment for the exam successful

Thanks @ JesusDway,

I appreciate God Bless you.

Good morning good people,

Please for clarification purpose and to tap from those of you who are experienced, the process of getting schools in Nigeria to send academic records to WES is out of the world experience (negative), I just want to ask, how this works,

School sends transcripts/certificates to WES, including the Form from WES with the applicants reference number which should have been signed by the school.

Will WES send verification again to the school?, because that will be another hurdle to cross considering the manner and way our people work.

It really a nightmare experience back home.

Regards

Yes, once WES receives the transcripts, a verification request will be sent back to the school. The request can either be by email or by post.
