My mom is set to apply for her canada pr. She has me and my junior sister in all her documents as her only 2children, no family member with her in ontario Canada where she stays. She works and stays alone.

I will clock 29years this December which I think makes me above the age of been a dependent child.

Her worries now is how to get me and my other sibling to Canada.

Please is there anyway or pathway to migrate to join her as am still battling with this ielts stuff??!

I even asked her if there's anyway she can process me to get a pr as she has already declared me and my sister has the only children and family member she has.

Please, any way or pathway??

Guy at this point, na you go find your way. Your mummy can't help you apply for PR. Do you have a job? Is it up to three years? If yes, find out if your occupation is amongst the eligible occupation, write IELTS to get at least LRSW 8.5, 8.0, 7.5, 7.5, evaluate your degree, if you have just Bsc, try to write any of the certification courses such as ACCA, BCS, CIMA, CIIN however if you have a ND/HND, then you are good to go. With all these you will be able to get into the pool and wait to be invited. You may even be lucky to get a provincial nomination. Why is your mum not declaring her other kids in her PR application? It's not like she needs POF as she is already in Canada and I believe she is working. Well, I hope things doesn't get complicated in the future.

Modified: I thought your name sounded familiar in this Canada journey, I checked and saw I had given you this same response when you were 27 years old in 2019, and you are still on this in 2021. Make your decision quickly and stick to it. Please be reminded that you're getting older and your chances for PR application reduces with Age. Time waits for no man!

since 2019 you have been asking same questions, brother you are not serious and are looking for the easy way when there is none. Took me a year to pass ielts with 7 trials. It's clear you will not come back if they give you visiting visa so your chances are very low. Face the ielts or ask you mum to find you babe wey need husband in canada grin

@CountVersailles

Sometimes you can just shut your damn mouth and let people that have reasonable thing to say speak.

You always feel like you know it all.

That's how somebody was asking about bringing milk and you were spouting rubbish as usual.

Typical Nigerian that will travel abroad and be thinking they have arrived. Nonsense.

Hi, I don't think stuttering would negatively affect your speaking scores provided when registering for the exam you indicate that you have a special need. I just read online that you can indicate that when registering and also go with a valid doctor's certificate or report if required and the necessary accommodations would be made for you.

Madcow:

Am not good at reading lengthy post, but yours, both the first and the second, totally got my attention. Thank you for taking out time to share your testimony. I am indeed encouraged, and I refuse to have amnesia, for He has being so good to me!!!!

Blessings!!!
God has done it!

I remember when I shared my last testimony, I promised to come back and updates you all in all honesty I have many reasons to be thankful to God considering all he has done for me he loves me so tenderly he thinks about me he considers everything.

Between then and now a lot of waters have gone under the bridge. I was putting in applications and suffering rejections. On most of the occasions I had done the second level and even final interview even presented to the CEO’s and still rejection. Initially, I developed thick skin but over time it began to get to me and there was almost no motivation to apply to other opportunities. I was enjoying my current role, however, I wanted more primarily because I knew I had the capacity to do more.

In March, I was assigned a new manager and things were good, I was doing my work and making progress and suddenly, I was redeployed to another brand. Initially I was happy, I saw it as progress with additional responsibility but when the renumeration did not change, my eyes cleared. I wanted to challenge the redeployment, because the thought of building my credibility again from scratch did not sit very well with me since ‘I had been there done that.’ I went back into the place of prayer to ask God why and in my grumbling the Lord reminded me “whatsoever work your hands find to do, do it with all your might”

I started learning the new brand products, systems, applications, and processes. During the onboarding process, there were some negative experiences that left a sour taste in my mouth, getting to work every day was becoming an uphill task. During my breaks, I would go out to worship and pray because that was the only way my spirit could be lifted.

Sometime in the beginning of May, I got a word of prophecy from an online prayer meeting I attend (Kornerstone Counselling Center http://kstonecc.org/) that “what is mine is mine and nobody will take that which is mine.” I was thankful, and I continued praying with that until
I received another rejection, and I became weak. I could not understand this one because we had negotiated pay and I was basically waiting for an offer. On the 24th of May, the Lord in his mercy knowing I was feeling downtrodden sent another word of prophecy with a timeline “that it will happen suddenly, that people have lined up to help me and I will see manifestation before the end of the week.” In my mind, I laughed because I did not have any major applications pending.

On Friday 28th May in the morning, I received an offer for a part-time lecturer role I applied to a long time ago. Initially I was confused because I did not think it wise to leave my full-time permanent role for a part-time offer. I discussed with my wife, and we prayed then we decided to accept the offer. In the afternoon that same Friday, I received another offer for a consultancy role which was also part-time. The pay combined was significantly more than what I was earning, so I began to thank God well because things had balanced out.

The God we serve is a humorous God. On Monday the 31st of May. I received an invite to complete an on-demand interview for another institution which I completed immediately, that same Monday in the afternoon, I received a call from the same Institution asking for my availability for a second level interview. I told them I was available immediately so they setup a teams call, and we had the Interview. It was quite interesting because at the end of the interview they asked for my references. On Tuesday the 1st of June, they made me an offer (with pay well over double what I was earning) and full-time, asking if I am available to start on Wednesday 2nd June which I gladly obliged.

As if that was not enough, on Wednesday the 2nd of June, I received a call from the company I used to work for in Nigeria. They had somewhat of a crisis and needed someone to rescue the situation. They gave me a blank cheque in relation to how much I wanted to earn and for old times’ sake I said yes!

As of my writing this, I have assumed all four roles all of which are work from home at my own time. The primary application I was required to learn after I was redeployed is what I use in one of the new jobs. In all honesty, it is a lot of work and truly an amazing learning experience. Sometimes I am petrified about the feats I must deliver, nonetheless; I know God will help me! The Lord is too faithful to fail me and that He is too faithful to disappoint me… He has proven Himself in my life and I have come to realize that He is too faithful to fail me… what He starts He always finishes.

My prayer now is for God to give me strength, wisdom, and an excellent spirit to deliver exceptionally with good success across all four roles… and again I will come back to testify.

Hello everyone. I am new to this thread. I "ported" from the Canada Study Visa Thread. I need some clarifications on this quarantine parole.

I recently got my application for study visa approved (Fall 2021; University of Regina, Saskatchewan). I have been able to link up with family friends that stay around my school, so I plan to stay with them for some months till I settle fully and find my apartment.

Now, I have been fully vaccinated and I recently heard that fully vaccinated individuals will still have to show their quarantine plans in case they are not exempted (from quarantine) by the officials at the Point of Entry.

My questions;

1) Will my Family friends' house be a suitable place for quarantine?

2) If No to (1), what if I get a quarantine apartment and I eventually get exempted from quarantine at the Point of Entry. Hope getting a refund would not be difficult?

3) Please, can someone put me through the process getting an apartment for the 14 days quarantine.

Thank you..

Hi everyone. I recently booked an appointment for my passport renewal in ottawa by October. I will be flying from Calgary, and I will like to know the process if anyone has done that before. Is it possible, if I get there early (my appointment is for 9:30am and it's written that it's a guide only and doesn't mean I will be attended to at that time) to be done before 3:30pm? I want to book my flight and want to know if same day renewal is possible. What's the process like? Thanks.

Get one of these many certificates to quality for two or more certificates. Or better still go back to school and finish masters by 26/27, then apply. People have done it successfully.

I thought a masters degree is mandatory to be eligible? Does the other certificates get the same points as a masters degree? How do I research about the particular certificate that would fit my profile better.
Also, please does the 3 years working experience need to be a professional job that is as well related to one’s undergraduate course of study?
