Please I need advice on this.

I submitted a request for a reference letter to the HR in my organization through my director and he returned it, telling me to state where the letter would be addressed to and for what purpose I needed one. The problem is, I dont intend to reveal my intention to obtain a Canadian PR. Is there anyway around this? For instance, can I state that I intend to apply for a Canadian visa and as such have them address it to the Deputy High Commission in Lagos? But then will IRCC have a problem seeing the reference letter addressed to the High Commission?

Please advice

thank you!

You can obtain the reference letter in the guise of a visit visa application and have it addressed to the High Commission in Nigeria, it is acceptable and you can butter things up by attaching a letter of explanation that the ref letter was prepared in that way so as not to jeopardise your current employment and working relationship with your company at this time. It is widely understood by IRCC and the VOs that not everybody is able to openly pursue PR applications and receive the assistance of their employers for it.

1. Calculate ur CRS points with u as the principal, with spouse OND/HND evaluation but without spouse IELTS. If you're okay with your points, fine.

2. If your points are not okay enough, its either u try further to appease your spouse to do IELTS or you simply tell him you will fill him as an un-accompanying spouse and if he agrees to it, fine as well.

Like I told mine when he was forming busy at work that no time to write IELTS, I said no problem, I cannot come and select married and accompanying and u won't make efforts to support me to beef up my CRS. When he knew I had an option of 'un-accompanying spouse, he quickly found time out of no time for d IELTS.

CRS with him but without his IELTS was 419,
CRS without him (un accompanying) was 435
CRS with him after IELTS was 433. That was how I chopped ITA last week.

In fact all those times when CRS was 434, 435 he was just making jest of me upandan that so if he had 'unaccompanied' me na so I for don chop ITA since.

Orisa boo le gbemi; shemi bo shey bami... I need translation please.



Hiaan.thank u o sis.
i have thought of it. ( using unaccompanying spouse) He is also forming busy o. E be like say na only me the thing dey hungry. afi suuuru. I have calculated thr crs i got a 375. So lets say he doesnt make up to clb 9.say he is @ clb 5/6 .( dont want to raise my hope )i am aimimg at a 9.but if i end up at 8 nd he at a 5. Do we still stand a chance?

Orisha boo le gbemi shemi boo ti bami.

THIS MESSAGE IS ADDRESSED SPECIFICALLY TO OAU ILE-IFE GRADUATES:

I got a message from WES saying that "photocopies of your documents have been sent to Obafemi Awolowo University for verification and that your file has been placed on hold until we receive their written response."

Who from Ife went through this and how were you able to facilitate a speedy verification response from the school?

Thanks.
OAU charge a verification fee of 2.5k or so

2 weeks is enough to prepare, but it's relative tho. I had less than 2 weeks and i got the results I needed... So, yes it's possible.

All the best!

SegunWamiri:
Hello guys, please I would like to get your opinion on this especially those who have done it already. Do you think that two weeks is enough time to prepare, write and pass IELTS excellently?

Cheers

Analyse your weak areas, for some its writing. Your weak area is what will determine the time-frame, writing for example will require more practice than the rest. Listening too could require frequent practice, in summary there is no 'one size fits all cap'[/quote]

With your age and only a BSc, you'll need all the extra points you can get to help you get enough points that can get you an ITA.

1. Do you per chance have a diploma? I know some people get diplomas before direct entry into the university

2. Do you or your spouse have a sibling legally living in Canada?

3. Your spouse definitely needs to write IELTS, that 20 points is critical to you.

If your answer to questions number 1 and 2 are no, you need to ensure you get the English scores in number 4

4. You have to smash your IELTS, aim for L8.5 S7.5 W8 R8

When you've done all the above, you'll pray CRS comes down at some point. If it doesn't, you'll have to go through Provincial nomination.

Is the 375 without his own IELTS? If yes, then max he can give u with his IELTS is 20 points = 395. Any score below 410 I would suggest you both agree on him not accompanying u at the moment. If you're about the same age, him being the principal with his 2 or more certificates would have earned you guys higher points with great IELTS score. Use d same calculator u used in arriving at ur 375 to determine whose profile fits more to be d principal.

This thread is really an eye opener. I read all through the process and procedures the op gave, and also read some pages on the first thread. But I have a serious problem taking any step to get started. I would appreciate if anybody can help point me to the right direction with my qualifications.

I'm a graduate with OND and HND certificate in accounting. I scrolled through the NOC 0, A and B to see if I qualify as specified by the op, but some job requirements just got me confused. I have lots of passion for online digital marketing and I'm currently working on fiverr as a freelancer(offering whiteboard animation video making and editing with aftereffects, email marketing and some graphics design work) for now since jobs are not forthcoming. I am 28 years of age and I graduated in November 2015. I finished with my Nysc program this may 2017(I had delays before I was posted). Freelancing has been the job experience I have so far after my graduation, and it doesn't correlate with what I studied in school, video making and editing is just my passion.

With all the info above, please do you think I have any shot at this? If yes, which of the job under the NOC can I go for? And if I'm not qualified, what advice would you give to someone like me that will help me qualify in the near future.

Thanks and I'm sorry you had to go through my epistle...

Check if the job u did at your NYSC employment is under NOC 0, A or B. If so, go to ur NYSC employer to get a reference letter in the specified format and you're good to go. What u need is a minimum of 1yr work experience. Your course of study does not matter here. Also, u will need to evaluate ur OND/HND. With your age u shd be fine. Best of luck...

No. Don't worry about that. Just get ur reference letter from the school. Your NOC shd be NOC A- 4031-
secondary school teachers. And evaluate ur credentials with WES. You will get ECA for 2 or more certificates.
