Hi people, I need advice

Is it okay to get my work reference while.waiting for ITA (since I'm sure of getting the next ITA)? Or should I get ITA before requesting for work reference from my organisation.

Hi. We used NPC attestation for my spouse and I. Then normal birth certificates for the kids.

ladymarshall:
Hmm! This is really tricky.

Regarding Montessori methods as a certification: from my research, it is a 9 months to one-year (timespan might vary depending on the courses) diploma/certification (I am not sure if it has transcripts, but details on their website makes me think it does. If it has transcripts, then there is a very strong chance that it qualifies as a one-year certificate as ECA requires. I notice that the IRCC considers the 9 month montessori studies in the center at Vancouver BC as a degree based on a tweet response, which means that the cert is recognized at least in Canada). I think that it stands a chance to be evaluated as an extra diploma (or one-year certificate).

Regarding your specific question on the WES equivalency of that person: I was able to get the post where your question came from. Note that the person case was different. He evaluated a secondary school diploma and a Montessori method diploma which led to that evaluation. In the context of ECA, secondary school diploma is not even a degree in the first place. I also strongly suspect that the person did not specify ECA as the purpose of WES evaluation because ECA evaluations have only 8 kinds of equivalencies which WES would have selected for that certification.

Your case would be different because you would be evaluating a university degree and this montessori diploma which might be regarded as two or more certificate. If you already have the montessori diploma (with transcripts), I would say combine it with your uni degree for WES. When I joined the thread, BCS IT was not a thing, one person tried it and it was positive and now everybodi dey rush am. So go for it and you just might testify.

Disclaimer: These are intelligent guesses. In case you proceed and it's negative, I am not liable. But this will make us sure for reference purposes.

Babe @Eshay you know this certification better, please can you help?

P. S. My sister introduced me to this thread as at part 6 and I can say I have read every post up till date...

IELTS hmmmm...
I Had written  IELTS twice before. The first was Academic and I got a 7.5average all thanks to the fact that I saw a pretty girl and lost concentration in my listening and couldnt answer questions 31-35.

I had learnt my lessons, so the second time( First time GT) I had an 88 7.5 6.5 LSWR in that order..

My reading was poor cos I disliked comprehension passages.
Then a friend told me he had 9 in reading. That was how ginger came ooo. I prepared seriously for IELTS. Focusing  more on the reading
Results came out 9887.. RSLW....

Please let's find the time to type detailed PPR stories once we get the 2nd or 3rd ghost update or the golden email. If this thread was very helpful to us, sharing our journey in detail in the PPR script is a way of giving back to the thread especially for silent and 'ghost' readers.

All the best to us in every stage of the process.

And to you @justwise

Like seriously, why would you ban me for telling people who are interested in CIMA to send me a PM. I didn't spam the thread, only posted this message twice on different days if not week.

Is it a crime to provide people with more options to boost their CRS scores?

The BCS and CIMA watsapp group are there for a purpose.

Please man up and stop acting like the only wise man here.

Imagine, banning my moniker for 2 years. SMH

I rejoice with you sire. You really were favoured all through. Just imagine this -for seeing a 'fair damsel', you lost focus in an exam hall, IELTS' for crying out loud. I mean who does that? ... You earned ITA, declined and went on to drop claim to sibling points -something others would do anything for!.. You were even so negligent that without knowing you had the golden mail, married a day after it landed!.. But then, favour found you and all things worked out for your good! Congrats once more.

Bigwizzy,

Your thoughts and concerns are well articulated, how ever, I'll suggest you take it a step at a time.

I think you need to really understand what the Federal Skilled Worker stream of Canada's express entry is all about.

1. If your wife becomes the principal applicant (PA) and as a self employed person, will you still be operating or applying via the FSW route or another different application process is involved?
What's really your age? 50? If you have a degree or skilled trade, I think it's far better than selling foodstuffs as I'm not sure there's any occupation under this category. On the contrary, if you or your fiancée have any degree and at least a year's work experience, FSW or PNP will be okay as you'll need to evaluate your certificate in order to qualify. I can't talk about the business registration part as I'm not into that aspect.

2. In my opinion, I'll suggest you calm down and take it lil by lil, a step at a time. You need both families' approval in that your Union oo, it's important.
Before you go to the registry, please be sure you've gotten their approval, you'll need them sometime. The pool isn't running away yet, do the things that need to be done first before diving. I hope you both have written your English proficiency test (IELTS) and done your educational credentials evaluation (ECA).
These are prerequisites to entering that pool you're rushing into.
Also, you need to understand that there are peeps that have been in that pool for more than one year and there are other that don't stay up to 1 week in the EE pool, it all depends on your level of preparation before diving.


Let me stop here for the elders to come and chooke mouth.
Please if I didn't say want you wanted to hear, don't be angry with me mbok, I'm still your fellow Nigerian
