SuccessGee, Ummitoagirl?

Thanks bro, SuccessGee is the name!

@SuccessGee, we are waiting for your tip

iamoasa:
Where can someone get the current rate in the secondary market pls?

Talk to your bank. Request for available offers at the secondary market.

If they are not forthcoming, send a mail to their customer service unit domiciled at their Head Office.

This should be available on their official website.

@feelamong: Thank you. I think we have up till tomorrow evening to submit our bids.

Do you remember the moniker of the member that used to give us tips from Standard Chartered?

Gymme:
Yeah it looks like a challenge but i believe the employers in those provinces will give offers to qualified candidates under this program. Those interested could give it a try by searching for qualified jobs and applying online believing it will work out in their favour.

Thank you

zamirikpo:
guyz......what rates do we bid for 364days

@40manlappy and awesomej and being conservative.........


pls more insight.....guyz

With the acclaimed current liquidity in the financial system, I think it may be wise to be conservative.

While we await feelamong and other gurus, I might go with 18.2% for 364 days

Atlantic Immigration Pilot

Just incase someone somewhere is interested. It starts March 2017.

Thank you for this information. The only challenge is getting a job offer for an outland applicant. Any suggestions?

Nogen:
No. Waiting for it in April too. Have got 96% of required documents ready.

Cool. I find it interesting that ability to speak to French is not a requirement though it should be a plus eventually.

@Nogen, greetings

Any progress on Mon Project Quebec?

Heard it opens again in April.

zamirikpo:
guyz.....make sure ur bids are ready by monday.............i think the nxt auctions are on the 1st of febuary.


am looking to bid 18.50% for 364days. via skyebank

Thanks for the reminder bro. I may try to play safe with 18.2%-18.4% for 364 days

@feelamong, I am waiting for your tips boss.

Where is this Standard Chartered customer that feeds us with their recommendations?

dupyshoo:
Awww, congrats to you, temitope 06, AdukeStar, yinyinola, iceberg54, blaizetony and all other ghost members that have received ITA !!!!

More good news on the way especially for those who are awaiting PPR and those who are still expecting ITA in Jesus' name. Amen

Amen to the prayers.

Lol @ "ghost members"

@vcole Your post is appreciated.

It is not enough to simply announce ITA. We would do each other a lot of good by sharing experiences, findings and timelines.

All of us would not have benefitted from the thread if others have not been sharing.

"Ghost members" should give back to the community

mamajaz:
Thanks to the whole family for the encouragement and support so far. I am happy to enjoy the comforting words dished out to me here.

That's the spirit Ma'am! Keep moving forward

@bellong

Thanks for further clarifications.

I also discovered that the entire states of South Australia, Tasmania and the whole of Northern Territory are classified as Regional Areas.

iceberg54:
After almost a year in the pool, also got an ITA

Double congratulations

Hope you won't have to create a thread on which one to go for

Congratulations too @blaizetony

mamajaz:
Thanks for the concern my personal. I was ruminating on the kind of delay this English test is giving me. I was here in April 2016 when this thread was inaugurated, now it's 150pages but I can't finger- point much achievement.....

Hope is the anchor for the soul. Please be hopeful, it will get better....

You must have professional job for at least 12 months before applying for permanent resident, though you can get around this.

On 489, employer can only offer you contract terms and not permanent employment until you change your visa.

@bellong

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Even though we are looking at subclass 189/190, out of curiosity, I would you to clarify the bolded expression above...How can one get around it i.e. "professional job"?

Can you please give examples of Regional Areas that have good employment prospects?

Thanks for your anticipated response.

mamajaz:
Hmmmmmmm.....

Good news? Share....

mamajaz:
Sighed deeply. Thank you Jesus.

Hope all is well Ma'am?

@battleaxe

Thanks for your response. He eventually decided not to take the offer and wait for next week's auction.

My own TB matures next week and I am thinking of going for 364 days this time around. Is 18.4% a reasonable rate to work with?

Looping: feelamong, zamirikpo

Dear gurus, a friend got secondary market offers of 318 days at 17.00% and 184 days at 16.90%.

What do you think? I am not sure of what to advise.

cc: feelamong, freeman67, 2n2k, other gurus

Congrats @oknee

jamson:
40manlappy, how far with madam? when is she taking PTE again? Make she quick scatter the thing as e still dey hot for body ooo

Thanks for your concern boss. PTE is currently on a "pause mode" but it is still on the cards...

Samsax2000:
I am interested in immigrating to canada.. I am a graduate of accounting with 2 years work experience and i will be 31 by this year august. Pls tell me house what r the necessary steps and do i have a chance? Thanks.

Necessary steps are clearly outlined from page 0 of this thread.

Make an effort to read through. Then you can come back for more clarification if required.

It is a worthy investment of your time.

This is good news.

Warming up to collect my transcript and certificate.

I sight you @mamajaz, jamson. Greetings!

Thanks for your responses @teewhysafe, chidike

dupyshoo:
Yes it does, if you have up to or above CLB 9 (8777 in LRWS), you will get extra 25 marks for combination of 3 year work experience and CLB9 IELTS and another 25 marks for combination of 2 or more certificates/MSC and CLB9 IELTS score.

So to guarantee a score above 450, you need the following:
1. CLB9 and above in IELTS,
2. 2 or more certificates and above under education
3. 3 or more years of work experience and
4. age not more than 31 yearsold.

Thanks again. The first 3 factors are in our favour but we are both more than 31 years old

@chidike: Congrats! Please share the timeline of your assessment. Cheers

@teewhysafe: How long did your assessment take?

@deeore Wow! I am happy for you. ITA loading

@dupyshoo. Thanks for sharing. I may need to take a second look at the CRS calculator. Does an increase in IELTS score impact directly on Skill Transferability factors?

@deeore

Are you a single (i.e. unmarried) applicant? I am wondering how your score can increase from 415 to 472 with just 0.5 markup in IELTS.

@feelamong, other gurus: What should we expect in view of MPC's meeting for today?

I have an offer for secondary market but I am not sure if I should take it or wait for the decision of MPC. Please advise.

@Sirlovings, thanks for your kind response. I have sent you a PM.

@cconcept: Boss, I am still waiting

Like play like play, this thread entered page 200

@hartson, cconcept, Etfash, akeenade, dannio, ajiifixing, Blackkie, mrkayodeoludare, tundechange, revlane, segbas, toye4eva01, WellEndowed

I have taken another hard look at the NZ Skilled Migrant Category Resident visa and come to the conclusion that one of the easiest ways to get 160 points and get ITA leading to NZ PR is to;

-Be working in NZ (50/60 points)
-Work outside Auckland (30 points)

It is interesting that if even if you have worked for less 12 months, you can still claim 50 points! With work experience of 12 months and above, one can claim 60 points. Without any of the above of having a close relative in NZ, it might be tough to get close to the 160 mark.

In view of the above, I am thinking of a Phd in NZ, possibly outside Auckland that would still allow one to work and be entitled to health insurance as suggested in the link below. Spouse is also entitled to work too. Then one can apply for ITA once one secures a job and has been on it for at least, a month

E-family, what are the likely pros and cons of the above? Is it a risk worth taking? What are your thoughts?

@Sirlovings, your input will also be appreciated. Thank you
