I salute all members of this thread, especially the old members. I'm making this enquiry for my sister. She's a fresh graduate of the department of pharmacy of the University of Lagos. I want her to start the pr journey any moment from now and I had like someone to shield light on how to evaluate her degree and if there's any registration she has to do. I'll appreciate comments from fellow pharmacists on the thread and all other members.

Please let her get a job first and gain experience. She is a pharmacist and a fresh graduate and I doubt if NYSC would post her to a pharmaceutical company. She may be lucky. However, she should get a job, gain 1 year experience and then apply. The experience is actually good for her. It's not about immigrating. Remember she would be living there too and also compete for jobs. With no experience, she then has to work very hard or move to another industry

No. There is eligibility hurdle and background checks - The background checks involves confirming your assertions and also includes criminal and security checks.

Thanks for the response. Immigration is an important process and should be properly planned. I believe the poster knew he was going to get married soon, but decided to proceed with the application. Maybe he thought of just giving it a trial. This is a wrong approach.

Marriage is also very important and if you intend to immigrate, please inform your future partner. They may or may not like the idea. This is to ensure proper planning. If he proceeds without his spouse, it takes 6 months for spouse sponsorship and that's another process, additional money and even not definite if they are issues.

If an applicant knows that he would be getting married shortly, please delay applying. Get married and start your application. There is this notion that single applicants get more CRS than married applicants and some Indians are trying to disguise their marriage or marriage plans - this is misrepresentation.

Canada is still going to take qualified immigrants in the future, as long as you are a qualifying immigrant, you stand a chance. Don't join the rush bandwagon and complicate your application.

The guy can raise CSE to inform CIC of his new situation.

Thanks for the detailed approach.

I will answer just number 2 and others with experience on spouse inclusion will say their bit.

DO NOT withhold info from cic cos it will backfire, if u get married before ppr inform them immediately, waiting till after ppr can lead to withdrawal of your visa cos ur wedding date will show u got married before the issuance of the visa.

This I know cos it happened to someone.

If u want to include after ppr, wait till u get the mail then u can fix ur wedding at a later date, goodluck!!!

Thanks a lot. Your response is appreciated.

Any response peeps. Also, pls does Zenith GTB and First Bank give reference letter

These Banks you mentioned all give reference letter. In fact all Banks give reference letter as long as you specify it is for immigration purpose.

For your letter of consent for your wife to use POF - no need for that as long as you are an accompanying spouse. Your marriage certificate proves spousal relationship. I know this issue has led to previous arguments in the past, but I'm 100 percent certain now that you can submit spouse bank account statement as POF and also 25% of Pension is now being calculated for Nigerians as POF.

Can you give an estimated timeline? I know it differs for individuals. But I'm guessing from what I've seen, that medicals is usually the one with the longest waiting time, am I right?

There are various ways of compressing scanned documents. First, you reduce the resolution when scanning. The disadvantage is that the document may not be clear based on the resolution used.

There are other free applications that you can used to compress PDF - ilovepdf.com - the disadvantage is that the compressed file may not be opened and that is automatic rejection due to incomplete documentation.

Or you can move your funds in other accounts into a single account - possibly the joint account and submit single sheet statements for these account to show build up and consequent transfer into the joint account. Support this with LOE explaining why you moved these funds and also the reason you submitted single sheet statement of account for the other bank accounts.

For d exam, write ur answers in Capital letters. Warning: dis is for Listening & Reading ONLY

All d best

Nah Medicals is actually a simple step and conducted independently by Healthcanada. This just to interpret the medical tests conducted by panel doctors. Recall it has been uploaded. I think (my opinion), the number of applications maybe the reason for the delay. Also R10 - document checks is carried out during this period.

To answer, I think it's between 1 - 3 months and depends. Security check is usually the longest of them all.

wonderful result I must say and congratulations too. Please can you share some little experience on how you achieved the result it will be very useful. Thanks and all the best

Got a barrons ielts material from a friend. And did massive preparations on listening.. scores were 38. 35 32 32 34 etc (low scores due to distractions and i was a bit harsh on myself during marking otherwise scores will be up),
You may also want to start checking up ieltsliz.com and ieltsbuddy.com too, to watch free tips, lessons and take practice exams. Constant practice is key. Same for reading.

From my results, you can tell the preparation level by what i scored, (speaking being the least - watched youtube videos for about two days to the test). On reading you dont have to read the entire passage, just read the 1st question and go scan for the answer, thats faster- the goal is to pass and not enjoy/memorize the passage, was so confident i even took toilet breaks during reading.

In Writing, learn to Paraphrase, and write at length, task 1 and 2 took the whole two pages in case someone decides to do word count. I did only one task1 preparation but i read others and just noted ideas.

I believe you'll find all these in the sites i mentioned above. I hope that helps. Goodluck.

My first post on this thread after following it religiously for over 2 months. I have learnt a lot by reading from other people's experiences and I hope I'll be able to contribute my 10kobo whenever the need arises too. I'm finally in the pool with 424 points. IELTS came out as LWRS 87.587.5 (i used IELTS Liz basically) and WES completed my UK Masters ECA within 20 working days after they received all relevant information. I used a Canadian address to save shipping cost and mailed a copy of my certificate to my friend who posted it to WES locally. I'm in an ICT occupation so I hope Ontario comes calling soon. Thanks to everyone who guides us on this path...

Guys can one continue this immigration process from another country, say UK? I'm thinking of doing my masters in UK this september, but I'll like to enter the pool first before leaving. So immediately after my masters, hopefully I'd have gotten my pr and can move to Canada. Is this plausible?

For me, I got an email and wen i logged into mycic, under "additional document requirement, i saw the msg telling me additional document is needed to process my application. It also stated i shld check my msgs.
Checking the msg table, I saw "unread" , I clicked on "read messages" & on "additional document request" a pdf letter downloaded and specified d request.....

Now to submit the requested document, u just click on "view submitted application" u will find a new placeholder and can upload from there. Make sure u go to the next stage of signature.....

To confirm that u successully submitted, ur document will show "uploaded" (besides its name in d submitted application table.) also ur messages status will show "submitted" ( besides d EE msgs in the messages table)

Hope this helps u and future enquiries.
Cheers.

Thank you for this response @ugoiyke....it's just like I expected. I'd be keeping an eye on my email then tho I dnt expect to get any ADR. Thanks nwanne

Why not go do the masters in Canada? That would be the best option or get to the uk then enter the pool. But to answer ur question, yes you can. You must however inform them when you wanna leave the country, you might need to just provide ur visa stamps and maybe new addresses.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response,Am not familiar with how courier works as I submitted in person however I didn't get any email or sms notification.You would get a receipt if submitted in person as you would need the receipt to process your refund if your scores gets bumped up.

Maybe email BC for a case specific enquiry.



quote author=KweenCee post=58256188]@Cecegal and any other person that applied for IELTS Remark please i have a question for you guys.

When you applied for a remark,did you receive an acknowledgement SMS or mail that they received your request? I sent my EOR through courier, I want to know if i should be expecting such from them.

Thanks as I anticipate your urgent response.[/quote]

Do these guys call banks to verify funds? I have a letter stating the required funds (in an Australian bank acct), but I recently withdrew it to pay for something and might take me some months to get the balance back. Can I go ahead and use the letter as POF? What do you advise?

Of course from the way u r following the thread I'm sure you r not just following Ur lawyer like zombie. U actually are well informed about the whole process and that way u have a better control over your application than some people who actually leave themselves at d mercy of their agents.

Hi Guys, please I have a question. I am thinking of using Treasury Bill for my POF but when I asked a banker friend about it he said that as an individual I cannot buy a TB of less than N50million, that it's a recent development.

Go through this website. Thats the pharmacy examining board of Canada website.

One of the requirement is licensing statement form Pharmacy council of Nigeria. I am NOT sure if she will be able to obtain this owing to the fact that she only has a provisional license until she finishes internship.

You can't buy directly with less than N50m from the primary market; however, what banks do is sum up all bids less than N50m and purchase T-bills directly from CBN then issue you a t-bill certificate; tell your friend to make enquiries from his colleagues in Treasury.
