When you registered for IELTS you got access to 40 hours of online practice materials. I would suggest you practice as much as 90% on all the sections. Try and compare your score with the global average to see where your level is at. Then adjust based on that. At the risk of sounding boastful, I actually had 8.5, 9, 8.5, 8.5 in LRSW and practiced for about 2 weeks only. By practice, I meant intense day and night practice like I last did during my university days a decade ago. So believe me when I say it's doable.

Congratulations! You will receive it within 24 hours.

Good evening ppl, pls whc body is fastest for Medical Degree Certificate Examination an the cost? Thanks.

Madcow:


Practice with www.mini-ielts.com

If you had challenges during the listening or you are not confident, complete a complaint form immediately after the test... check the results on Friday morning... if you aren't happy, you can play your complaint as a joker... redo just the listening in 7 days...

Sorry to say this, but I think you are just stressing yourself unnecessarily. You have been rightly advised by Kontagious and veritas3.

NOC 1114 is okay for Funds Transfer Officer role; a number of people here have gotten PPRs with that same NOC.

I can tell you for free that some people's reference letters were not as detailed as yours and yet they have gotten COPRs.

The choice is yours....

Madcow:


I got my ITA today... Please advice on whether or not to cancel the TRV

elfmann:

Why at d bold? Some ppl want to leave after few months oh.

daremum:
Good Morning All/Elders,
Please i need your swift advice on this dilemma!
Pre ITA we choose that we have relationship in Canada to which the person is my grandmother younger sister son!-Uncle!!!
Find attached screenshots showing that we picked him as uncle.
Calculated score for EE profile we got zero (0) for relationship in canada despite picking Uncle and saying we have a relationship there in canada.
Despite the zero for relationship we got ITA.
Now post ITA should we include that we have an uncle or not since we got zero point.
However for my uncle he is ready to drop his pr card and birth certificate.
Will this be enough for our proof of relationship with him.

Thanks to you all.

Remember the golden rule in applications: Always provide more info than less.

If you can get your Uncle to send you a scan copy of their PR and proof of residency, then it won't hurt your application. You can simply explain the apparent discrepancy in your LOE.

daremum:
Thanks bro.
But why can't i pick and avoid uploading all these since i got no point for that.

Please everyone,kindly contribute your opinion pls,biko, ejo.

Santino1:


Because your medicals is the like a ticking clock, if it expires before you land in Canada, you have to redo the medicals and wait for the medicals to be approved all over again. So the idea is the later your medicals, the more time you have.

Emmasonic4me:


Please can you explain what you mean exactly by this? If one can fill a complaint form and get to redo the listening section, why haven't many taken advantage of that? Don't forget that a lot of people will know if their performance in the listening was good for them or hopeless immediately after the test... And a lot of sound check is conducted before the actual audio is played, so what challenge exactly will the person claim? Shed more light on this, mbok.

elfmann:

Cancel and defer ur admission.

elfmann:

No oh.. It is for folks who still wanna remain to tidy loose ends as they claim.

Madcow:


Hey Bro,

Please i am not very clear... do i cancel the Temporary Resident Visa Application? or defer my ITA?

sleekysilk:


He meant if the TRV is for study permit, cancel the TRV application and call your school to defer your admission. DO NOT DEFER ITA o....

Read merrymum's. I know u r good, let IRCC do their thing. IRCC said primary NOC but the tweet said one NOC... Sb used different NOCs and was successful... You have three years no matter how it is recalculated.

Looked in detail into this foreign work experience stuff and found some things:

Apparently, CIC allows (or should allow) the use of foreign work experience (outside Canada) in one or more occupations listed in Skill Type 0, A or B. This means, you could effectively combine different NOCs in your application. This justifies merrymum's application which combined work experience in finance and oil&gas. This is acceptable as long as it

1. consists of full-time work experience
2. is acquired within the 10-year period preceding application
3. paid, etc.

So, if you've got 3 years of such various NOCs (0, A & B only), you can get the maximum points for express entry and obtain a decent CRS score. This is according to the ministerial instruction for the express entry application system. According to the document, under "Foreign Work Experience":

25 (1) For the purposes of sections 23 and 24, foreign work experience is work experience that

(a) is acquired by a foreign national outside Canada in one or more occupations listed in Skill Type 0 Management Occupations or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification matrix;



Now, for the different schemes under EE, other conditions apply.



However, to qualify for PR under the Federal Skilled Worker program, you would need only one primary NOC and you'll make sure to have at least 1 year on this NOC, which should be 0, A or B. And of course, it must meet all the other FSW requirements as below. In the same vein, you can combine NOCs here to complete 1 year. However, they must all be in the same NOC.



This would be what that IRCC tweet meant. The answer was posed wrongly and should have referred to the FSW program.

[imghttps://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/10/20/IMG_0594.jpg[/img]

To qualify for PR under the Federal Skilled Trades program, your work experience would need to meet a separate list of requirements, including that it should be 2 years and should be within 5 years of application, not 10.

On the other hand, to qualify for PR under the Canadian Experience Class, the requirement for work experience is that it must be 1-year and be obtained within three years of application.

As you'll see, all of these different work experiences are all subset of the work experience required under express entry, which in itself has no limit on the number of NOCs you can combine.


So, as an example, let's say Bisi has 2-year work experience as a paid teacher and 1-year as a banker with GTB, all within 10 years of applying under FSW through Express Entry. Bisi should sure be able to claim maximum score for experience under Express Entry (3 years of experience), thereby boosting her CRS score. But in order to qualify for PR under FSW, she will only be able to use one NOC, either as a paid teacher (and claim 2 years) or as a banker (and claim 1 year). If any of these is unable to elevate her above the required 67pts under FSW, she may remain ineligible for FSW even though she may have high CRS score.

If the same Bisi has 5-month experience each as a paid teacher, banker, engineer & lawyer, she will have a sum of 1 year & 8 months experience in different NOCs which she can use to obtain a good CRS score under express entry, but will remain ineligible for PR under FSW as she doesn't have the required minimum of 1 year in any NOC, i.e. she has no primary NOC.

Similarly, if Bisi has 2-month experience each as an accountant with KPMG, E&Y, Deloitte, Firstbank, GTB & Stanbic (wow, Bisis must be one brilliant chic, lol!), she would have raked in 1-year experience in a primary NOC (accountancy) and should thus be eligible to combine these NOCs towards PR under the FSW scheme.

In the case of merrymum, my good guess is that while the sum of different NOCs boosted her CRS score under express entry, only one of the NOCs was sufficient to ensure she got the necessary score above 67 which she needed under FSW. Let's look at it: she has a 2.5-year experience as an engineer. This means she could have gotten for FSW, with CLB 9, 24pts on language, 21 pts for Education (let's say she has only Bachelor's), 11 pts for work experience, and 12pts for Age (I'm sure she is between 18-35). This would have taken her FSW score to 68/100 and would have qualified her neatly with only one job experience. She can come and clear this; I could be wrong.

These are just findings from looking at the details. We needed to clear this as it is causing too much confusion. Anyways, who knows, I may be wrong.

Congratulations, bro. May the Lord grant you your heart's desire.
