Please help:

1.while creating my profile under the SINP, the available NOC codes dont tally with my NOC 2283. The closest in the SINP is NOC 2171. Should i choose the NOC 2171 ?

2. Do i still require my transcript and certificate to apply for any province nomination even after getting ECA from WES?

thank you in anticipation of timely response.

Bimpsy99:
initiated the WES process Jan 13, they got all the documents March 6 (verification inclusive), ECA issued March 30. It was just God plus constant following up on twitter cos they are generally unresponsive.

Gquest:
Congratulations Bimpsy99

For ACCA I selected part-time because I did it concurrently with my Bsc. so the period was overlapping.

Am not sure but I think CIC defined full time as being in class for 15hours a week or so.

MrsBee:
Hello house, as regards proof of funds, can the money be in fixed deposit/treasury bills/mutual funds or must it be in the bank for the six months period? Thanks

deeore:


Thanks beems4cupid, really appreciate. Just for confirmation the bank certificate entails what, addressed to who and how many months statement. can I submit more than one statement.I know this issue has been treated but I don't know how to use the search engine here, it brings up a lot of stories.

Please dont say go back to page 0 abeg. I have gone through the thread from page 0; my only worry is if some of this information is still as relevant ie the processes still the same considering page 0 was like almost two years ago. Excuse my ignorance if i sound like im speaking in french

Hello house, my wife currently studies in Canada but I don't want to include her as "coming with me to canada" in CRS assessment so as to earn maximum point because including her keeps my point below 400. Is it okay to declare her as not following to canada since she's already there?

2. My current job role in Nigeria falls under category NOC B, property and purchasing officer but im a civil engineer by profession although I have 1yr experience as a civil engineer before taking up this current role 2years ago making it cumulative 3years of work experience. Should I declare Civil engineering or purchasing as my noc?

Please advice and help a brother

Hello House,

I have a Medical Laboratory Science degree from the University of Nigeria and graduated in 2007. I obtained a M.Sc in Public Health degree from the UK and graduated in 2012. I have been in full time employment since 2008 as a Medical Laboratory Scientist till date (Inclusive of internship and NYSC).

I wrote IELTS (Academic) in May 2015 and obtained the following scores: S8.0 R7.5 L7.5 W6.5 (Overall 7.5)
I wrote PTE (Academic) in December 2016 and obtained the following scores: S65 R76 L90 W89

Please I desperately need the following clarifications:
1. For the WES evaluation, do I need to submit my SSCE or just documents for my 1st and 2nd degrees? If yes, how do I get WAEC/NECO to send my results to WES?
2. Do I need to re-write IELTS?
3. What are my chances for the express entry as a Medical Laboratory Scientist?
4. Do I need to get licensed first to practice in Canada, before applying for the express entry?

I intend to apply as a single applicant. I just hope these questions aren't too much of a bother.

Below is the provisional degree equivalency report from WES:

"Now that you know what your education is worth in Canada, get a WES credential evaluation to verify your credentials so they will be recognized by universities, employers, licensing bodies and CIC immigration programs in Canada.
Credential 1
Country of Education: Nigeria
Name of Degree: Bachelor of Science
Name of Institution: University of Nigeria
Equivalency in Canada: Bachelor's degree (4 years)

Credential 2
Country of Education: United Kingdom
Name of Degree: Master of Science
Name of Institution: Anglia Ruskin University
Equivalency in Canada: Master's degree

Thank you house.

Hi,

Is it a problem if too much time has elapsed from when u get a document to when u eventually submit it as per ITA request. So for example, I have two bank accounts - one in Nigeria and the other in the UK. Now, if I get the bank letter for the Nigerian one today and say the bank letter for the UK account eventually gets to me in Nigeria one month later, would that be a problem?

I am worried some documents will take longer than others to get and I don't know if the fact that too much time elapses between getting a document and submitting it would be a detriment to someone's application

I think your wife might be better off as the principal applicant... Why not try using the CRS tool to check score both ways - you as principal applicant and also she as PA. Then you can make a choice...

2. If I remember correctly, you should have 3 years experience in the NOC you are claiming points for.

Markab:
She has no work experience and just started her program in Ontario, that's why she can't be a principal applicant

@optionese You made me laugh @ "i want to cry on your head"

You can't really predict IQAS. I had to call them today in respect of my wife's application. It has clocked about 12 working days with them already. All they said was that she should get it "in a couple of days"

They reminded me to check their website for their processing times which has increased to 15 working days. That was no news to me

I really wished it was hers that came out earlier being the principal applicant so that we can be in line for this week's draw but my own ECA application got completed first.

See my timeline below;

February 16: Payment and submission of application.

February 22: Acknowledgement of application.

March 7: Acknowledgement of academic documents. They informed me at that point that my file has been placed for processing.

March 20: Notification of ECA. Got a scanned copy of the IQAS certificate.

Processing time was about 9 working days/13 calendar days.

We just have to be patient and wait. You are not alone!

Hello House,

Writing IELTS May 18, I think I should start evaluating my credentials now.

Please can someone paste the link to IQAS's website. I am thinking of evaluating with them, because they seem to work faster than WES.

Please what are your opinions?

Ibrahym:


Seriously, can't you just type 'IQAS' on google or any other search engine?
https://www.alberta.ca/iqas-immigration.aspx

Folks here have had varying experiences using either of them.
