If you already submitted your application after your ITA (in other words, you have AOR), and that application is still being processed by IRCC, you do NOT need to retake IELTS. Nothing to be done. If you don't have AOR you will need to take that exam again.

cflows:
I applied for express entry to canada december last year but right now my IELTS has expired April 2020. What should i do next? thanks

Your best bet is to read this thread (https://www.nairaland.com/5471101/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled) from the very first page. Then ask specific questions on that thread when you need it.

fashgolden:
Good day Amaya, i think you do understand how these process work, am so sorry to bother you, please i am new here and gathering information on my best chance of traveling to Canada with my spouse with Express entry. Please can you help and how can do I start? I will be very grateful

If you have your IELTS, you can enter the pool immediately because of the tie-breaking rule. However, we don't know when the next draw will be or how often they will do it. You should do medicals only after you've been given an ITA or if you think you may get ITA soon.

dkdmy:
hi guys, I just received my WES verification yesterday. I am yet to do medicals or other processes, is it advisable I submit my EE application or chill till after this COVID situation subsides? Am trying to avoid a situation whereby I won't be able to travel for medicals or any other process

I no longer need French for my scores but I am continuing regardless. I also use italki and I like that they have a wide range of teachers as well as teaching styles. Those who are interested may have to try a few to find the ones that fit their learning style.

Vincad:
The thread is back, thank God.

@ciwi, I know a guy who used italki. He's on YouTube, I actually found him when I searched for "Learn French in six months" on YT. He was able to get to do it in six months, and watching his video was what gave me confidence.

His name is Ikenna, you can check him out. He also dropped the link to the italki tutor he used. I personally think italki is a really good option, lots of native speakers to choose from.

To those who are just sending documents to WES this March, please see below:

Quite obviously you can add whatever is valid work experience over the last ten years, in approved NOCs of course.

ABSTRUSE:
What if I had valid work experience before November 2017?

This only applies to inland candidates

dynamitee:
Hello everyone;

Please can I get some help on something? Please what is a landing appointment and at what point will this be done? I was scheduled to land in Canada in April, but with all this coronavirus talk, it seems things are changing, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to land. I'm checking the cic.gc website for updates and I read that they are cancelling all "in-person permanent resident landing appointments". I've never heard of a landing appointment before, and I'm now wondering if this means that I won't be able to do my PR registration at the airport when I travel...

Please can anyone provide some insight on this please? thanks!

If you don't have any valid work experience before Nov 2017, then as of March 2020 you certainly don't have 3 or more years of work experience. Let's not stretch things in the name of getting more points.

ABSTRUSE:
Great to be here.
Can someone who got called to Bar on November 29, 2017, claim 3 or more years working experience?

I'd appreciate your responses.

Personal history will be filled out after ITA.

Femmelle:
Please what do you mean by personal history? Is it different from EE profile?

1) Any work experience can be added to your EE if it was paid, performed within the last ten years, and within NOC A, B or 0. However, people can choose which ones they want to put in personal history and which ones they want in EE.

2) You can modify/delete your profile without penalty

3) Spouses are not required to include work experience in EE, especially outside Canada as it doesn't add points. However, after ITA the spouse will need to declare work experience among other things in the last ten years when filling the personal history section.

Femmelle:
Hello everyone.
Great job everyone here always ready to help (Too numerous to mention). May God bless you all, amen.
I have some questions and would need help
1) I have job experience not related to my degree or NOC (4165), can this be added to my EE profile?
2) I entered the pool before coming here and I now realise a lot of precautions I should have taken before filling out the EE, Is it possible I delete my profile and apply again? Will I be affected?
3) My current EE score is 450, started learning french to improve it, however, worried about my spouse's NOC because its equivalent is military, will this affect my application?

Thank you in advance

All this information is available on the IQAS website, surely.

kelz2205:
Hello, pls can you enlighten me on the application process for iqas, I want to prepare my docs before May when they resume accepting applications, I need details such as address where the transcript is sent, is electronic transcript necessary, documents required, (I have a BSc) as well as any other info you might deem important, thanks in anticipation.

LOL spouse work experience outside Canada doesn't add points. It's not a new thing.

NEROSKY:
No more points for spouse on work and ielts or am i getting something wrong?

Then do what you actually want to do with your own test. They are totally independent of each other. The order in which you do them has no bearing.

ifyjip:
I I know but want to my ECA process to be done b4 I jump to IELTS, so I can use the period to study more. What will I gain rushing to write meanwhile WES will still keep me waiting?.

IELTS is completely independent of WES. Why do you need to finish one to do the other?

ifyjip:
Good evening all, May Canada process favour us all Amen! Pls understand my question b4 redirecting me I'm begging o, my wes status as of today is ... "The estimated completion date of your evaluation is 4/1/2020" does this mean I'm receiving it on the 1st of April so I can go ahead n write my IELTS or will it still take sometimes so I can shift my test to April?

In these days of high CRS, every point counts. You're leaving points on the table if you don't evaluate.

Okewa:
My wife is the primary applicant but both of us intend to write the IELTS exam so as to increase the CRS...is there need for me to also evaluate my certificates?

Pls any other advise is also welcome as we are determined to engage every legal means to get the PR this year. Thanks in advance as I await your response house

You can also try the Zenith Bank on Admiralty Way (the one nearest the entrance to Lekki Phase 1). It's far less chaotic than the Zenith HQ or Ikoyi but you must get there early as they have a limit of about 20 a day. They'll "strongly encourage" you to open an account if you don't have one. But the crowds are far fewer and the NIN slip comes out in just about a week.

vitrendy4eva:
Not to derail the thread...but has anybody recently processed the new e-passport(Nigerian) for a baby recently? NIS is insisting on NIN registration first, and NIMC has refused to register the baby, saying baby's too young for capture. It's just really annoying.

An ECA is not required for an accompanying spouse. However, if is he able/willing to write IELTS, I strongly suggest that he can contribute points in that way.

As others have suggested, the wife should consider a short certificate to boost their points (especially because the husband won't be able to get an ECA to add points). Research CIMA / BCS and others on this thread.

pearlobi:
Please I need answers from Seniors here. I have an Uncle who has no certificate, he didn't have a formal education, but he is literate. His wife has a BSc in Marketing. She'll be 31 this year.

They really want to migrate. His wife will be the primary applicant. I want to know if he'll be required to submit educational details or if his wife's own is enough.

It depends on age and also if her work experience is in NOC A, B or 0. If it is an appropriate NOC and age is in her favor, then yes - she should probably be the PA. Use the CRS tool to simulate your score with her as the PA.

terryhill:
Hello house, please is it best that my spouse applies as the primary applicant to boost the CRS since she has a masters and over 6 years working experience in a manufacturing firm instead of me that just have a bachelors degree and less than 5 years working experience.
