Good day all, please I have a little challenge. When sending transcript for verification by WES, is choosing migration or academic purpose have any role to play. From the website, I see the academic is faster and cheaper. Please is there any implication if I choose academic over migration?

Thanks

Ok thanks

If both of them can evaluate their credentials and sit for IELTS, it will increase their CRS and chances.

Thank you very much sir. It will indeed end in praise.

Please I have a question. Would the primary applicant and dependent be required to evaluate their certificate or just the primary applicant?

Thanks

Greetings my fellow Nairalanders,

It's indeed a great pleasure to be in your midst today. I wish to bring the attention of the public towards the FSW & CEC Express Entry Draws that is set to resume tomorrow being on the July 6, 2022. As many of you already know, this is Canada's major immigration pathway and is few hours away from a full resumption. The country is expected to see an increase in the number of newcomers over the next few years. This entails that potential immigrants can finally approach their immigration plans with a great deal of optimism through this route.

It would be an amazing idea if you guys could also explore this route for there are many on this platform who don't know how to navigate their way through this immigration pathway of becoming a Permanent resident of Canada. If I take the time to assess the participants (both active and passive readers) on this platform, you all will definitely see that over 55.5% of individuals here qualify to become a PR but undivulged to them due to lack of rudimentary knowledge about the whole process. Some see Express Entry stream as a difficult one, hence focusing all their energy and attention to study permit.

It is relevant to say that while you're pursuing your dream of studying in Canada, you can also explore other immigration streams like Express Entry, for it is also feasible to be an international student and have your PR before graduation. This will be at your own benefit as your exorbitant international student fees will be slashed/reduced to that of a Canadian citizen.

As clearly stated on IRCC immigration regulations and manuals, - having 2 intents (1 for temporary residence and 1 for permanent residence) is legitimate, insofar you can demonstrate that you will depart Canada at the end of your authorized stay as required by section R179. On this note, you can have both Study Permit and Express Entry profile running concurrently!

Don't waste more time! Let this piece of information be an insight and eye opener to the smart ones here especially now that the borders have finally reopened. So, you can be in a position to receive an ITA through EE stream.


Use this link: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp to calculate whether you meet the basic eligibility criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).


1. Proof of funds
2. Education Requirements: Get your credentials evaluated by WES,
3. Language Proficiency - Have a good score in your IELTS exam by scoring 8,7,7,7 and
4. Show proof of work experience. At minimum, you need at least one year of skilled work experience within the past 10 years that will match your primary occupation in your immigration application. To get the full 15 points, you need at least six years of eligible work experience. Having only one year of work experience will get you nine points. Two to three years is enough for 11 points, and four to five years equates to 13 points.


Having said all of the above, I wish everyone the best of luck in their pursuit for a brighter future in Canada.


It will end in praise

Good morning all, please I need clarification on this Graduate research assistantship job. I don't know about it. Someone just said he can guide and help someone get it.

1) is it easy for one to go with family with this?
2) someone said after the programme, I must come back to Nigeria? That PR isn't easy in the US

Please I really need help in taking this decision.
Thanks

When you search for schools and you have a list of schools you want to apply to, check through their financial aid page and look for any information on funding. You will have to check every details on that and be sure they offer assistantship. So schools will have you submit separate application for that while some will tell you it's not needed. If you don't see any information concerning graduate funding, there's always a contact information of the program coordinator on the site. You will copy that and email the person asking about funding and any other questions you may have concerning your admission to the school plus funding.

PS: Be explicit in your words and don't assume he/she knows what you are saying especially concerning that particular funding you want to know about.

Best of luck[/quote]

Good evening all, please I am new here. Have been on the Canada study thread but haven't gotten my study permit so I am looking at trying the US but I have some questions.

I have a B.Sc in mass communication (part time) 2.2. I am looking at getting a Graduate research assistantship job cos of funding but I don't know how to go about it. Please can anyone help for direction.
Plan B
Also, does US like Canada look at academic or progression. I would have probably read social works but at the same time, I am looking for funding too. Please how can I go about this?

Thanks so much.

Good evening all,

Thanks so much

sheyihandsy:
You need to ask anyone that got his/her passport from River State here...All we need is the issue date on their passport. So Ibadan TUESDAYS, OSOGBO THURSDAYS. I've confirmed the two.


P.S: I see all the pm sent to me but unfortunately my contact at immigration ibadan cant help a lot of people because it will be too much for him. I will advice you go there and canvass any officer...please.

Good evening all, congratulations to all the PPR holders. Please the biometrics one does for SOWP is it the same I can use in securing an admission? I don't know if it's a red flag for me to secure an admission while my SOWP application is still running?

Secondly, please does MPower pay the tuition deposit or you'll be required to pay it while they pay the fees.

Thank you all for your usual response.

Good morning, please how can you know the production days? I've asked Google and nothing useful came out. I stay in PortHarcourt.

sheyihandsy:
I have a tips that can work for DIYers (Tested and Trusted TWICE me and my wife). Please find out day of the week that your preferred location do productions before you pick a capturing date.
For instance, Ibadan produce every Tuesday of the week, so Monday is best capturing day. Go to the location 2-3days to open file , and find an officer that can help you capture in time(without paying a dime). Then ask him if he can fast track...10k to 15k is all that will cost you to collect your passport the following day. I promise you. Online payment: 27k + 15k= 42k total package. Not a bad deal if you want to pay for fast track

Dominion City rocks!!! Congrats my convenant brother.

My people!!!

Thank you to everyone on this platform for the assistance so far.

After being scammed by an agent of 5500 CAD in April 2021, I decided to apply by self.
Submitted April 1st..
Biometrics April 8th..(Abuja)
Biometrics Updated 9th..
Traveled to Dubai for honeymoon May 16th..
Got a request for medicals June 1st.
Did the medicals June 8th here in Dubai for 795 aed..(E really pain me oo)
Medicals passed and updated 13th June..
PPR June 17th, just 4 days later..

I'm still surprised ooo.
In all, I give all the glory to God!!!
I prayed for grace and He answered me..
I resigned from my bank job in June 2021 after the scam with high hopes, got fired from my other remote jobs by August, Got depressed and couldn't travel home that year.
But my guy came through for me, inspired me that the hustle just started and introduced me to church(Dominion City), I became focused on God, got some of my remote jobs back, got my self confidence back, married in March, apply study permit April, Go honey moon for Dubai May, PPR June.

This is my testimony!!!
God really works, if we can be faithful and keep our side of the agreement.
More Good new loading as I will continue to be faithful by the enablement of the holy spirit.

He will visit everyone here according to our needs in Jesus name!!!

Wonderful idea.
Thanks

Hello Abby12,

Ironically all applicants including me when applying to go alone without family always fill that spouse isn't accompanying in the IMM form. But then, I leveraged on the fact that;

1). Is approaching a year since I got my Study visa and one of the reasons I stated that why I haven't gone is I have never stayed away from my spouse for more than a month and would love her to atleast accompany me to settle then return back to Nigeria.

Note: even though it was an open work permit, I didn't mention about work. It was all about accompanying me to settle, the need to accompany me while I settle. When I mentioned companies where she can work, I didn't per say mentioned it like she is going to work there to earn pay, I aligned it to her gaining research experience (she is currently doing her PhD research) from the renowned companies based in province we are going to and also to use the knowledge gained from the companies to develop our family biz back home when she returns. Then God's grace did the rest.

So every application is unique. So let's learn use the uniqueness of our situations to our advantages.

That's my little advice.

Wow!! Big congratulations to your family. Please did you indicate that your wife would be joining you in Canada while you were filling for your student visa?

Ketima:
Now I want to give a little advise to us all. Do that which you believe will work for you. Many of you here knows me well but note it that no one knows it all. We all learn from each other.

Today I got my wife's SOWP, just 3 months after submission even though I'm still in Nigeria. Sometimes we get adviced based on others peoples situations or event, but truth be told, things changes with time. When I got my study visa, family application refusals were high, hence we tend to advice to apply alone, then apply for spouse and kids(if any) when you arrive in Canada. In the past few weeks, we have noticed that family applications are recieving approval, those applying for diploma even when they already have Bsc are getting approval, those applying for PGD even after Masters are getting approvals.

So, What that matters is let your application be top notch. Avoid any loophole. Be your own VO. Review your application yourself and leave the rest to God's grace.

So, I advice henceforth, if you're a family, apply together, worst scenario, it will be rejected and you people can refire again. If you're applying for a degree lower than what you already had, ensure that your prove beyond doubt why you're going for such course. Nothing is impossible in this Canada journey.

For SOWP, then we were advised to wait till you get to Canada before applying. But with the recent delays in SOWP application, applicants are waiting 8 months + before getting decisions. So if you applied alone and got approval, you may as well work toward submitting your spouse (family) application because you never can tell, it may even get approved before you leave so that both can leave together.

And again for those not coming forth to encourage others with there timeline, is not that you're compelled to do it or people beg or attack you, is just to help the newbies learn vital document's to submit as not all will have time to read from the beginning. I personally have 3 people I helped applied for and got approval this month and I told them to come share their testimony here to encourage others and they promised but still hasn't. But It was still from sharing of timeline that they came to me to help them in their applications. So please let's do well to help each other because this journey has no end until we all become citizens. At any stage, you will need help and this nairaland forum is top notch for such.

For my wife SOWP, I will still share it here for others to learn and as well in the SOWP forum.

We're all doing well and God will bless us all.

Lianna2020 you motivated me to apply for her early and I'm grateful I did.

Good evening all, please what are the documents needed for SOWP and study permit for kids. Thank you all.

Congratulations to all the SOWP receivers. I tap into your testimonies.

Ok thanks

VFS has slots available in June for Lagos

You can do it in Qlife or IOM ( Lagos or Abuja) those are the only approved hospitals. You can book online on their site.

zeedof:
please can you tell me more how to go about medical examination. How long does it take to get the result and where can I do that, is there any recommended one by the embassy?

Thank you

Good morning all,
Urgent please!!

please has anyone done biometrics recently? Please I want to know between Lagos and Abuja which has slots for June so I'll know where to book for the medical. I intend doing the medical before submitting the application and I don't want to go back and forth traveling.

Thanks

Good day all, please I am quite confused about this notarizing documents. Please does notarizing in a notary public make your documents more authentic than in a high court? Does the VO see any issues with where you notarized?

Thanks

That's not true. When you get to the site, you'll see courses available for international students at the moment. They have courses till 2023. You can then choose from there. quote author=ShowYoung post=112506562]NBCC is a time waster, they won't tell you whether or not there is a space for an intake, they'll just collect your application fee and tell you to wait till they have space for you (waitlist). You could wait for a year, more or less.

I will advise you leave them and look for admission elsewhere in order not to waste your time. Also, ensure you avoid colleges and universities that delight in this kind of strategy.[/quote]

Good evening everyone, please I just came across this thread. Please I need to do international passport for myself and my 3 kids. Please What are the requirements. I intend doing the process myself . Also Please what is the current Price.
Thanks

Really!! Please when is the available dates?
quote author=Olanrae post=112080600]No slot for Biometrics for this month again
Wahala dy ooo
When it is not Medicals[/quote]

Good morning makano, I really appreciate your input. Please any examples of ways one can convince the vo that the money would be made available please

makano:
Hello Andrenalin

Using a friend or colleague as a sponsor is considered a 3rd party sponsorship, and the Visa officer frowns at an applicant using a 3rd party sponsor..
Using a 3rd party sponsor doesn't mean you won't get your Visa application approved, but be ready to really convince the Visa officer that your said sponsor will readily make available the funds for your studies and living expenses all through your stay in Canada..

An applicant stand a high chance of Visa application approval with parent sponsorship

Peace

Malone122:
it can go both ways they “might “ ask you for an updated statement and you have to provide one
Also I once asked a former Canadian visa officer on quora and he said a statement should be at most one month old even if you take time to submit the application meaning if you printed out today you have one month from today to submit
So the ball is in your court !

Ok thanks

[Thank you. Please can I use the same soA in June quote author=Malone122 post=112050395]then he has to be around because without biometrics the application would not proceed[/quote]

Good morning all, happy Easter Monday , please I need help. My husband's sponsor just sent his SOA for the application as the money he is expecting just Came but my husband is not around to go for the biometric if I apply now. Please what do I do? He won't be around till June
