Thanks so much for your analysis. May God take care of all that is yours.

She has already gotten the maximum score under "Skills Transferability factors" i.e. 50. I used a CRS tool calculator assuming that her MSc and my MBA were assessed and it gave us 447 points, still lower than the suggested 450.

What remains is the MSc/Professional degree. Even though she possesses both, that may only take us to 434 i.e. additional 14 points to current CRS score of 420.

It appears that our best bet is to look out for a provincial nomination. We just discovered a close relative in Manitoba which inspired us to submit EOI under MPNP last night even though it is not yet open. The site gave her a score of 560.

We read that the ranking score of the lowest-ranked candidate invited during the last round was 548. This gives some comfort when the MPNP eventually opens, right? JesusDWay also mentioned Nova Scotia

The only thing giving us concern is something in the "Settlement Plan Part 2" form that says a close relative can support more than one applicant BUT previous application must have been successful.

He is supporting his immediate sister under "Family Stream" program but according to him, the application has been dragging on for too long so it can hardly be qualified as being "successful". What are your thoughts on this?

iGotTech:
soon bro

gonaij:
Infinix Hot 3 now avaliable at #23,500

JesusDWay:
Check NOC 1111 for her to see if she fits and then look up Nova Scotia PNP, they may start soon. It's online now and you may have to upload all required docs in readiness for when it will open

dupyshoo:
It should cos 14 will be added to her education score and 25 to her Skills transferability factor score. 420 +14+25 = 459.

459 is a good score but IRCC recently reduced the number of invites per round of invitation from approx. 1500 to approx. 1000. This might drive the minimum CRS score to about 460. More rounds of invitation will give us a better picture and can help to predict the new minimum CRS score.

SlowlybtSurely:
Could be cos of her age or because her hubby hasn't done IELTS/WES evaluation.

dupyshoo:
If she has MSc, why is your CRS score for education for Bachelors then? I expect your CRS score to be more than 420 with MSc, her IELTS score and more than 3 year work experience. Am I missing something here?

irondome:
Mozo is absolutely right on the IELTS stuff.

Your letter of interest should underpins your commitment to live and work in Ontario. Anything that helps to prove "that" is relevant and should be included in your essay. Such as:
Job vacancies in your occupation and that of your wife's (support this data analysis and report, include links & url if possible).
Town and cities you intend to live (do a little google search) and why. Schools your kids would attend and why. Friends and family in Ontario to help you adapt quickly, etc.

However, they has been a slowdown on OINP of recent, as such, we are not sure of how soon you would be getting a letter of interest. In the meantime, you can have a close look at Aussy migration system. Accounting is in demand in the federal/independent skilled migration scheme, as well as by a number of states. Try and check out how much points you can claim for education and work experience with CPA Australia. If you could muster 60 points with other criteria, then you can consider state sponsorship for additional 5 points to make 65.

mozo:
To submit your profile, you need the General, it's stated on the Ielts website, general for immigration while academic for those pursuing further studies

basingstoke:
May God bless you for finding time to reply. May you never lack. IN JESUS NAME AMEN

Reeberry:
I'm talking about the Infinix note 2.

kayla12:
Pls like how much should one have as a budget for this journey.
Thank yoû

truewalker:
nope. we were referring to note 2

irondome:
Resit for IELTS and make sure you score as high as possible, at least, 8,7,7,7 LSWR. And if you scored atleast 7.0 in all the modules, you may also want to consider Australian skilled migration program, provided your occupation matches any of the occupation on the SOL list or individual state sponsorship list.

Doing well in IELTS isn't as difficult as it appears; you just have to sit down and master the tricks and tips the same way an average Indian/Chinese tester does. Personally, I got inspired to ACE mine when I saw the IELTS result of my Indian colleague, who obviously was not so excellent in English Language. The dude had 9 9 8 8 LRSW.

basingstoke:
are doctors eligible ?

irondome:
Ontario PNP is now getting very competitive, as such, you have to be as convincing as possible. Your letter of intent to reside in Ontario should be very strong. Referring to friends and family you have in Ontario may also help. Don't forget your wife's work reference letter.

As for the medicals and PCC, it's ideal you wait till you are nominated by Ontario before you do them, as they both have expiry/invalid date.

There is also this trend that old profiles on EE are usually overlooked by Ontario for the coveted letter of interest. So, if you don't receive the letter over a period of time, you may want to recreate your profile.

You may also consider other provinces where your wife's NOC is in demand.

Wish you guys all the best.

Reeberry:
Likewise me. A 6" phone is too big for my liking.

dupyshoo:
Congrats on your wife's new IELTS result.

Does you wife has MSc? If yes, then you might not need PNP.

If no, I won't recommend OINP as it costs C$1500, it takes ages to be nominated and they have even stopped sending out PT for now. Try other provinces.

irondome:
Congrats,

I knew she could do it. Your CRS should increase over the next 24-48 hours. This should at least put you in prime position for Ontario provincial Nomination Program. In the mean time, start gathering the required documents for the PNP application.

truewalker:
ok o letz wait and see. hope you know they dont profuce the same spec for all countries; cos it happened with one of thd hot series, either hot or hot 2. they sold the lower version in nigeria, but in india, there was a better spec.
but lets just wait and see who's right

TechRez:
Infinix Hot was a massive success, it was complimented by the most successful Hot 2 smartphone which saw a partnership with Google that eventually made it the first and only Android One smartphone in Africa. It reportedly sold over 500k units, surpassing all the “big players” in terms of sales volume.

The teaser slang for the Hot 3 is “Selfie with soft flash makes life colorful”, meaning the next Hot 3 smartphone could come with a revamped front-facing camera for taking that perfect selfie.

We expect to get more details about the upcoming smartphone in the coming days and we will share with you once we have them.

What are things you are looking out for on the upcoming Infinix Hot 3?

irondome:
For IELTS Australia prefer General not Academic, however, you would still need to score 7 band in each of the modules to stand a chance of migrating. This is because your wife's occupation (Accountant and financial auditor) is highly competitive for Australia with applicants in the 65 points range stuck in the pool for several months. Bottom line, you need all the points you can get, and a 7.0 band in each module fetches you an extra 10 points, 25 for age (she is 33), 10 points for experience (8 years would have fetched her 15 points, but she has got 7 years), 15 points for degree. To shore up your point, you may also lean on state sponsorship to get additional 5 points.

The 50 point I wrote about was for Canadian PR. Applicants with a minimum of 2 or more degree ECA and a CLB band of 9 in IELTS are entitle to the 50 additional points under transferable skill. Bringing this home to your spouse situation; she has got a Masters and a CLB of (10 in listening and speaking, 9 in reading, but 8 in writing). Because of her CLB of 8 in writing (IELTS of 6.5), you guys lost 50 points. If she re-attempts IELTS now and scored (L-R-W-S --8-7-7-7), your CRS would jump to 400+ and you can easily go the PNP route.

Personally, I think the best option is for her to re-write the IELTS, considering her performance in the last attempt. She got pretty close. In fact, you guys should have considered re-evaluation before the expiration of the review window; apparently, it's too late.

In summary, which ever option you settle for (Australia or Canada), she would have to re-sit for IELTS.

Honestly, with your wife's ielts result, don't give up on Canada yet. if

hartson:
Aussie is also a nice destination country.only and only if you will able to meet their immigration requirements.Lots of people migrate to New Zealand thereafter to Aussie. You need not to apply for Aussie PR once you are a New Zealand PR holder.

kubbiebrownie:
Hi 40man,

I used CA for my assessment and I used PTE academic, they dont accept general. just make sure your wife has 65 across all bands.your wife will also need to submit ICAN syllabus,ICAN transcript, ICAN Certificate alongside her accounting degree certificate or the degree certificate she's presenting for assessment. She should also get a letter of good standing from ICAN. Using bsc degree alone will be assessed as an associate degree rather than being equivalent to Australian bsc.

Regards

Thanks to you for good words and encouragement, may God grant your heart desires subsequently.

Thanks.

NNBB2012:
CA also needs IELTS academics.
http://www.charteredaccountants.com.au/The-Institute/Migration-assessment/How-to-Apply/Skills-assessment/English-language-requirement
I would advise she should just try PTE Academics. She should practice Speaking well. I do not know most Nigerians do have issue with the speaking component. IELTS Academics is a bit tough than General module.

NNBB2012:
I will advise that both of you should proceed with assessment. That is where to start from and later you will check to know who between you will have more points. The better your points the better for you. Whatever you need to do, do it now before July 1 because anything can happen after that day. That's the beginning of Australian new financial year. They make changes yearly and there is nothing one can do about it.

truewalker:
because of the wider screen & more ba3 power. general hot series is meant to be cheaper than the others, cos it classified as infinix budget fone; though that doesnt make it lesser in quality than the other. in my own view, I prefer the hot2 to note; I have handled both &will gladly choose hot 2 over note.

Tinyemeka:

Na crusade you dey go?

How about Australia?

christinie:
Very interesting.

No wonder I don't have any stretch mark on my body; I drink water and home-made zobo a lot.
