SORRY i am just getting online. Thanks for your response. wouldn't 'no' be seen as a lie?
Since you are not claiming points through him, I strongly believe that it should be a NO.

You may need to mention it in LOE that since your spouse has no Canadian work experience, you have added all his foreign work (i.e.non-Canadian) experience to his personal history.

NOTE Please get a second opinion on this before you proceed.

What I wrote up there is what I would have done if confronted with a similar situation since a YES may require obtaining reference letters and other supporting documents that may not be readily available. All the best.

Good morning house, please will IQAS also evaluate HND as two or more certificates just like WES?
I want to know so as to use IQAS since people say its faster. Anyone with info on this ?
Thanks.

Not likely. You may be better off with WES if you want it evaluated as "2 or more certificates.." and you are not so much in a hurry.

Another option is to go ahead with the method and go into the pool. If your ECA comes and it has a date after ITA den you can decline. But if it has a date before ITA you can accept. The thing is that your ECA might be ready and signed but it hasn't been sent and it will carry the date it was signed rather than the date it was sent. For example my ECA was signed in February 8 and i received the soft copy on February 14. I used IQAS tho.

Cool; that's another practical approach. Thumbs up bro smiley

My own ECA was a week old before I actually got a scanned copy via mail. She can either edit her profile post ITA or decline the invite depending on the prevailing circumstances.

I did the same thing some months ago and i had to decline my ITA because ITA date was earlier than ECA..
The advice i gave is advice i got from seniors like Dupyshoo.
Of course except the ECA comes before the draw . People should submit applications and go to sleep and not worry about misrepresentation.
ECA for a higher qualification post ITA is completely different. Iphie did a second ECA post ITA and got a higher score but remember she had and ECA in the 1st instance before the draw.

Its an advice and its not binding.

Good luck.



Good luck.

I wont advise you to do this. This is the implication.The date of your ECA will be earlier than ITA date. This means you didnt gave an ECA before ITA. Some Vos might overlook it while it night be an issue for others. Ita better to be safe than sorry.
My two cents.
I don't think there is any rule that says that you cannot get ECA for higher qualifications post-ITA and before e-APR.

It was suggested to enable her take advantage of current CRS since no one can predict the direction of future draws.

The assumption is that she might get ECA just before the draw based on expected follow up from her. What if ECA lands a day before ITA?

The decision is hers to make anyway after weighing the pros and the cons smiley

Let me allow our seniors to give their opinions too.

Hi xiaomists,

Please can one buy a Xiaomi phone of $280 on Aliexpress using a Gtbank naira Mastercard?
Monthly limit on GTB MasterCard is $100. You may have to buy $100 this month and wait till May 1 to buy the balance of $80. This can be accumulated in an electronic wallet called "Alipocket"

The gurus of this thread can tell you more about it.

Thanks bro. I am just a little sceptical of Oukitel and Ulefone brands though they do have nice specifications that I find tempting.

Have you used any before?

Ps: Not buying 2nd hand, strictly new.
Google Xiaomi Redmi 4A. It's less than $120 plus shipping on Aliexpress (app N39k). You can use your GTB MasterCard or Access Visa Card to purchase it.

Use Google to view the specifications and feedbacks from current users.

Specs include 2GB 16GB/32GB Smartphone 5.0 Inch Snapdragon 425 Quad Core 13MP Camera 3120 mAh OTA.

@maternal @salford

Is it practical for a new PR holder who is not tied to PNP to land in say, Ontario and then reside permanently in Quebec?

I have seen a few discussions/arguments "for and against" staying in Quebec and working in another province. Are there any constraints especially if one decides to live in a Quebec town that shares border with Ontario?

Hello house, while adding a phone to my shopping cart on Aliexpress, I noticed that the "Ship To" seems to be locked to United States even though the address on my profile is Nigeria. All attempts to change to Nigeria didn't work.

How can I get this resolved?

Also,has anyone bought Blackberry products on Aliexpress before? Does the site have the same standard of care towards BB like Xiaomi products?

i got my ielts result yesterday LRSW :8.5, 8.5, 7.5, 7. I hope this suffices because my hubby does not plan to write or verify his degree (PhD). I am a pharmacist. Current CRS: 431

I wish the writing was better, i blame my self though. i didn't practice writing at all. i just focused on listening and reading.
This is a fantastic result! Just take a dive into the pool and start gathering your documents immediately cheesy

You should get ITA at the next draw.

@sammyacbxyz Just go for your IELTS bro. Besides, CRS may favor you at the next draw going by the current profile of candidates in the Express Entry pool.

Hi people, I wrote my IELTS on April 8, 2017. LSRW- 8 7 7.5 7.5. Please is there a way to predict WES ECA number so I can go ahead with the application. It'll be nice to take advantage of the low cut off..
Those who have used WES said that it is the combination of your reference number and the letters "IMM". What is the current status of your ECA now?

By the way, that's a good IELTS result that you have there smiley
