Is this an undergrad or a graduate program?
If it's an undergrad, I'll say explore graduate studies in Canada. And then EE afterwards.

If it's a graduate program, my advice will be to gain at least one year experience before applying.

Estimated cost for a single person is around 15000 CAD (POF, application fees, language test, ECA, etc)

Read from Page 1

GraciousWords:




Just to add.....the 1 year experience needs to be continuous.

Page 1 and the IRCC links marked HERE your plug for FSW info.

Getting a job depends on many things, read people's experiences on the living in Canada thread.

How long it takes to get permanent residence approved is between 1 month and 3 years...really varies

Obstacles? Just read from part 1 to 10 for gist.

Lagbaja88:
read page 1. Unfortunately you need at least a year experience to open a profile, 3 years experience to get maximum points. No two ways about it

AgreatMan:


Can you learn French during NYSC? If u can, u would be in Canada by next year with at least 470 points.

The other option if u don't want french is to gain 3 years work experience, n do a masters.

Think about what u REALLY want.

She has a great profile. Just tell her to evaluate her transcript using IQAS or ICES(a few people here have confirmed positive evaluation of their law degrees as a professional degree using ICES, but ask more people). She also needs to take the ielts and try to max it out LRSW 8.5/8/7.5/7.5. Her husband also needs to take the ielts and aim to get a minimum score of LRSW 8/7/7/7. And also evaluate his degree with WES. For more information, visit page 1. All the best to your sister.

Brunobia:
Hello everyone.
Please anyone from Uniben here? Or any Federal University can please advise me what they did when WES informed them they had sent photocopies of documents back to the school for verification.

I'm stuck here. Over one month, WES emailed me that they are awaiting verification from Uniben of my transcripts and that I'm to do nothing meanwhile.
How long is it supposed to take?
Over five months since I started this verification of credentials.
Thanks.

Looking at the competitiveness of the pool can he/she dig through with one year of work experience ?

Kaybeeeee:

It's an undergraduate degree, and i don't have much funds and i heard its expensive to run msc in Canada.
Can i gain experience in any firm and any country?
And does experience gain on contract or part-time count?
And web development is my side hustle, i can code in html, css and javascript, a bit of python, would a switch to it be IT be more beneficial or i should just follow the Electrical route?
Thanks for the swift response

Part time experience counts too but it must be up to 1560 hours/year. And work experience can be in any country.

Are you able to start an MSc degree in China? If yes fine. An MSc will give you extra 15 points. If you're not able to start another MSc in China, try Canada. Depending on the school you apply to, you get guaranteed funding (tuition and monthly stipends). Check UBC and UoT.

How did you check.
Use this link:
https://onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/c2c/eapp.do

If you're eligible it gives you a reference code

timitej:
It says I'm not eligible. I'm 25. Single, My IELTS is LSRW - 7, 7, 6.5, 6.5, BSC, and 3+ years of work experience with a NOC A

phabulous88:


At what point did it say you're not eligible?

GraciousWords:


BSc 21 points
Age 25 12 points
3 yrs work exp 11 points ( would be 13 points if you have 4 or 5 yrs work experience)
IELTS CLB 7 for L 4 points, CLB 8 for RW 5 points each = 10 points, CLB 9 for S 6 points.... Total 64 points

You need to improve your IELTS scores esp LRW, get a second degree or get an additional year of work experience to cross the 67 eligibility bar.

In all, please study page 1 diligently, the link below for manually calculating eligibility is from there.

you need 67/100 to open an express entry profile. What you have there amounts to 64/ 100. Improve your ielts and also get an extra degree

Kaybeeeee:

I don't thinking i can learn French anytime soon, still trying to be fluent in chinese, adding French would be hard and unfortunately i don't plan on doing NYSC, what if i do msc in Canada, does that cover the work experience?

Please IQAS and ICES evaluation which is faster and better for a Bachelor of law (LLB) degree certificate for the purpose of Canadian immigration?

I want the evaluation body to regard the LLB certificate as a professional certification with a quick turn around.

Tonyamori:


ICES OR CES
I’m using CES and mine is not out so I don’t know how long . But iqas is about 7 months because of the backlog . Heard CES is about 4 months when I get mine I can answer with my full chest . Lol

newpisces:



Please how exactly will one use Barter to do the payment. I loaded my barter account and attempted to use their virtual card for WES payment, the card was still not accepted

AgreatMan:


I am very sure french is not near as hard as chinese characters but I know that right now, it will be hard to convince u about French.

But u can plan for your msc against next winter session in January if ur people can afford it. I am sure u won't come back once u enter as masters student.

Modified
u don't have funds for Canada Msc n you don't want to do NYSC for a one year experience while learning french as suggested...seems u might have to pick one. Your other option is to work for 3 years, do MSc and enter the pool 5 years from now.

I STRONGLY suggest you start your WES transcript evaluation before u leave China. E go choke u if u no get strong friends back there.

Truth is that both CES and IQAS will evaluate your LLB degree as a professional degree but CES is 15 to 20weeks if you submit your transcript by email directly from your university and 25 to 30 weeks if you submit by courier...IQAS says theirs is 14weeks for any method.

At first I taught CES was faster because they said IQAS had backlog but now I have notice people get theirs even within 8weeks why others are unlucky...

Therefore with the situation of what I have assessed so far I advice you go for IQAS..

I have a pending application with CES but I want to start IQAS now because I believe I might be faster.

Hello Fellow Nairalanders,

I need clarity for a friend, she want to know if she can add her baby's Nanny(19 years old) and her younger brother(32 yrs) to her EE application, thereby increasing her family to 5 members. I have google on her behalf but not seeing any positive info. I just want to know if this is doable though for her, thanks
