How true is it that one's application can be denied if he or she does not have travel experience?

How many countries does one need to travel to, before they can be considered to have travel experience?

mmrius:



I am 33 years and wife is 28.

Only office experience I had was working in church as the church office Administrator for 2 years and that was about 9 years ago.

Good Evening, I feel like the happiest man on earth when I discovered this trend and I have seriously been following.

I need some advise on who should be the lead applicant between me and my wife.

I have a degree but will be rounding up with my MBA by October with over 5 years working experience as a marketing executive in the banking sector.

My wife has a master's degree in Horticulture and Landscaping with no formal job experience.

I don't have any family member resident in Canada while she has her uncle living in Canada.

We are both planning to write the IELTS exam together by October.

My age is 34 while she is just 25 years old.

Kindly advise on who should be the lead applicant for us to earn more CRS score.

Regards.

Thanks guys for the great work here. This is by far the best thread I have spent days reading on Nairaland. I tried reading through the part 1 of the thread but got exhausted after 3 days, but part 2 has brought me up to speed with the do's and don'ts of applying for the express entry/ federal skilled workers program.

My question is, what is the best option for a family of 5, Husband, wife, 1st child 9 years, 2nd child 2 years and last child 7 months old.

Husband > B.Sc. Psychology, entreprenuer with a registered company since 2013. Stopped running business account since 2014, now use my personal account.

Wife > B.Sc. Social Works, Businesswoman (Mostly sells women clothes)

I initially planned applying as an international student for my M.Sc, but this will mean I will have to travel alone. But I will prefer my family travels with me, so do we stand a better chance applying as Provincial Nominee, or Federal Skilled Worker?

Please your wise advise will kickstart our journey to Canada.

Thanks

I think you guys need to write the IELTS first and then do an evaluation of each of your profiles to know who'd have the highest points. My guess would be him though cos of the work experience he'll claim.

here's the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

God bless you cochtrane for your prompt response. Yes the NOC fits my job description. Thank you so much

Have you checked out this NOC: 2282 User support technicians. It's a B. Does that apply to you?

The amount required depends on the size of your family but it's from CAD 12,500 (for singles) to as much as CAD 35,000. (For a family of 7.I think)

Good Evening House
Please Guru I need your advice on this as it is causing chaos in my home.
In our PR application, My husband was supposed to be the PA, when we wrote Ielts, He had LRWS 7.5,7,6,6.5. I had 8.5,7,8,7 . The issue now is that he wants me to be the PA which of course was not the initial plan.
His background---
He graduated 2011, served 2012/2013. Started working and was being paid 150k. 2016, He obtained his Master's degree which we have accessed with WES and he is currently in Canny on a student Visa.

My background--
I graduated 2016, just started Nysc This month. I started working this year and my salary is 40k as a Teacher. I have accessed my B.ED with WES.

Due to the Ielts and PR requirements, who is in the best position to be PA?

Should my Husband sit for another Ielts?

Do you think I can be the PA with of course forged work experience documents?

I anticipate your candid advice.
thanks

Seniors kindly help out.

MummyJaygirls:


U may be lucky with ur reading remark, but shey u know if u remark and the score doesn't change ur 15k has gone and u will need to write ielts again. So think am well. Remark takes about 12 weeks. While waiting for response on remark and money show for hand, u can retake d test. Ur spouse may not need to if I r d principal and vice versa

Evaluate ur highest qualification which is MEng

garywhite:
Please good People of Nairaland, i honestly need your advice coupled with the fact that i have so many questions before IELTS make somebody go depressed:

(1) Is there a cut-off before you can be considered to be in the pool?
Spouse and i have 414 from CRS assessment altogether from LRSW: 8.5, 6.5, 7.5,7.5 & 6, 6.5, 6, 7.

(2)Whats the possibility for reading remark to be upgraded cuz i'm not so buoyant for a re-sit.

(3) What certificates or Transcripts alike are important to be sent to WES? Cuz i have HND, BEng, MEng spouse has BSc and PGD

Kontagious:

Bros, which component did you remark?

CAstruggle:
I just saw my IELTS results now:

Listening: 7.0
Reading: 7.0
Writing: 7.0
Speaking: 8.0

But am very sure there is error somewhere in my reading and listening score. I will wait for the actual TRF. No way i can even score less than 8.0 in reading. Will keep everyone updated

MW, Has anyone had a case of differences in the provisional online result and the actual TRF?

Joanna25:

Hi guys,

Please I have a question o. Can a friend use her sibling with Canadian passport to gain points? Her sibling doesn't live in Canada but his wife and kids do.

Virt:
@Canadafly, I must say your posts so far have been appalling.

As you have presented yourself so far, it appears you should not need help from these wonderful group of people, since CIC website has been as explicit as they can be. Like someone else has rightly pointed out, since I joined this thread I have not seen condescending comments such as yours.

For this group to continue as a family, that it has always been, you may just want to stop posting here and send your questions directly to CIC, I believer they will answer your numerous questions nicely.

Please lets revert to status quo - One Naija Family...Cheers

Saintp:


I get confused about these provincial stuff. Is it the province that will invite you to apply after seeing your CRS score or can you just apply to any province just like that? How does these provincial option work? Thanks

Hezy:
Hello everyone,

Thank you for the good job being done here. From my perusal of this platform and other sites, I have understood that only my highest qualification needs to be assessed. But I need clarification on the questions below and I will be grateful for your prompt response.

1. Do I have to forward only my highest certificate and transcript (MBA) to WES or i need to forward my first degree certificate and transcript as well ? Kindly note that I registered only my MBA for assessment but in the
confirmation mail sent to me by WES, they listed the required documents as

a. Clear, legible photocopies of all degree certificates issued by the institutions attended.

b. Academic transcripts showing all subjects completed and all grades awarded for all years of post-secondary study.


2. What is the place of CITN and ICAN in this whole programme? Are they irrelevant? Can these professional qualifications be considered for 2 or more degree ?

Thank you.

chuckdee13:
I think she means you should say she has a post secondary qualification and then down the line you will be asked if she has an ECA for it then you respond accordingly.

primeson1:
Nice thread so far....I'm a silent follower....still want to redo IELTS before I join you guys here. The thread is my motivator .

Ride on.

Fill it in. There's a place u will be asked whether she has an ECA for it. Select d appropriate response.

Hi everyone,
I have read through every comment in this thread and i have not gotten any reply that answers my burning question about migrating to Canada.

I am 23 years old, a university graduate(2013) with 2+ years work history and i VERY VERY Much want to leave Nigeria for Canada. I have been trying to process a visa since i was done with my NYSC but because of challenges like my age(then 20) or finance issue, i could not successfully process a visa.
I lost my father recently(10 months ago) n was willed a reasonable amount of money(assets which i am about to sell) that kills my finance challenge and i want to use it to process my leave for Canada BUT my age is a barrier that is holding me back(because i was told by many travel agent). Now I want to take a bold step of processing a visa on my own but i still cant do it because i feel i lack enough information.

PLEASE everyone/anyone guide me through, Should i still wait till i am old enough(27-30 + i'm one of those kids that looks older than their age) according to the agents and keep struggling in this country? OR i just man-up n run the visa independently?

For questions, i hope the information i'm giving below will give clarity and tailored response:
1. I want go in to work first because i don't have enough money to process a tertiary institution but enough to fund accommodation for 6 months,feeding and clothing for a year.
2. I have worked as a finance officer for an HR firm, a CSR for a bank, currently a Business support analyst for consulting firm and a business designer (freelance)
3. I am working on getting a invitation from friends, friends of my friends and even enemy in Canada. I don't have any family that want to help(if you know what i mean).

Please i really need guidance and helpful suggestions.. i am tired of waiting.
Thanks,

There would always be shortage of trades professionals..Trade is very very good if you can get in. very few professional jobs pay close to $50 bucks an hour normal time... $50 is even classified as low wage for some specific trade. Some electricians make so much in the summer that they sometimes take the whole winter off. Some popular trades are now becoming competitive to get in nowadays as more people are realising how well they are compensated. if u can, get in asap...
