Add him as you are applying. If you guys get PR he can join you whenever he likes. He just needs to do medicals, Police Certificate and Biometrics. Also ensure your proof of funds covers for both of you

OBS18:

You start also indicate your start and end date for ed each job role. The month and year . I think you should have just stated your admin officer role to simplify it

[quote author=jpj post=82644260]Hello fam, to cut long story short, I wrote my IELTS in 2017 without really thinking about relocating because my family was in the US at that time. Fast forward to 2018 my family returned and Nigeria didn't make sense anymore so I had to dust my IELTS and wifey started the whole work of filling forms and telling me how much we need to pay for WES evaluation, medicals etc. November 2018 we entered the express entry pool and with CRS of 456.

And God Said receive ITA. In the bag, team 464.

Perhaps he is applying to Saskatchewan PNP where education has to align with job experience

opella:
1) No, I don't have a degree in education. Your degree of study mustn't be the same with your work NOC.
2)I submitted reference letter from the school in CIC format printed on the school's letter headed paper, bank statement showing my alawee and my NYSC discharge certificate.

HELLO! IF YOUR IELTS EXPIRES BEFORE AOR, YOUR SCORE WILL BE RECACULATED AND IF IT FALLS SHORT OF THE SCORE FOR YOUR ROUND OF INVITATION YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE REJECTED. IELTS ONLY GETS LOCKED IN POST AOR. ALSO AGE GETS LOCKED IN POST ITA

Oluwolefola:
Good afternoon all,

I need your wealth of experience and advise on my current situation.

I have been working on my application for a while however I was trying to save up some funds for POF. Fund is available now and we have completed the application yesterday. The score is 467 but my spouse's ielts result is due to expire on the 19th of August. Based on the current trend I expect we will receive ITA by the next draw due to the CRS score. Should we proceed to apply with the almost expired ielts or we should decline when it comes and wait until she re writes the exam.

Most documents are available and we can ensure we submit on the same day ITA received. Which should be around the 7th of August

Kindly advise

If he insist you pay for courier service, ensure you pay into NOUN account and not his personal account. Normally schools reply electronically because of convenience and speed

Nicerazor:
Good day guys...I’m currently at the WES stage. My. School has sent my transcripts to WES via courier and I received a mail from Wes that they are waiting for verification from my school. I called the guy who is monitoring it on my behalf in my school (school staff) who said I will need to send money for the verification via courier service. Is the second verification supposed to be by email to Wes? Or by courier service? Seems the guy want to rip me. I attended National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Your responses will be appreciated.

Someone here got PPR through Saskatchewan PNP using baker certificate from Nigeria . I remeber everyone congratulating her as the first .I have forgotten her moniker. Search the thread and see how she did it

Judithomo:
You cannot use your culinary certificate from Nigeria for EE cause no ECA body will evaluate it, also trade evaluation can only be done by provincial trade bodies. Most province requires you an average of 4.5 year work experience as a cook with proof before you can sit for RED SEAL exam in Canada.

Please don't pay that chef 1 kobo

Update !!! Peeps check out New Brunswick

NASU/SSANU issue strike warning

When you school in a system that works, this is what u get. All the noise about WES being overwhelmed by request for evaluation does not cut it here.

PLS TAKE NOTE THIS MEMBER DID NOTHING OF SUCH YOU MENTIONED. I THINK IT'S A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

Understanding “Review Required”

A lot of applicants see “review required” in their GCMS notes for eligibility. There are many theories floating around with regard to what “review required” means and if it is alarming.

Before I venture into explaining the significance, it is important to understand that each application goes through the following stages as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations (Canadian Immigration Law):

R10 – Completeness Check
Criminality
Medicals
A11.2 – eligibility
Security

Out of the above, the most important stage is eligibility. This is also the most time-consuming stage because your documents have to be verified, evaluated and assessed to ascertain that you meet the eligibility criteria for the program you have applied (FSW / CEC / FTW). To stream line this process and make it easier for an immigration officer (decision making authority), all applications are first evaluated by case analysts or program assistants. They review the documents and summarize it in the GCMS. If they have any concerns with any document or want the immigration officer to carefully look into a specific document, they will flag it as “review required.” It is the content of the note that is important here. If the review required is for a specific document, while the summary of the note says that an applicant has met the eligibility, or “ready to finalize” it simply means that while the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, but the specific document needs a careful examination form the officer before promoting (eligibility pass) by the officer.

However, if there are concerns, there will be a review required for the eligibility, and there will be no text to the effect “ready to finalize” or pass. The note will specifically state job duties do not match, or the employment cannot be verified, or the number of years of work experience claimed cannot be verified. This is where an application can land in muddy waters. But the final decision rests on the immigration officer. He may override the decision of the analyst / assistant or go with the analysis of the analyst / assistant.

Even in cases where the analyst / assistant is of the opinion that the applicant has met the eligibility, and there is no “review required,” the officer can replace it with his own opinion. Though rare, but it does happen. This is why the eligibility is only passed when an officer conclusively marks the eligibility as passed.

Finally, there is “review required” for PoF. This is the most common in many applications. This is because, the financial and banking practices of each country are different. Eg. Fixed deposits are know as Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the US. Similarly, treasury bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and many other investment vehicles are there. If your PoF anything other than a bank deposit, it is more likely that it will be marked as “review required.” Also, IRCC does not go by day to day fluctuations in FOREX. Instead, the Canadian federal government issued a quarterly conversion rate for all FOREX vis-a-via CAD. If your PoF is in a foreign currency, then you may have “review required” for the officer to make a determination.

Just because you have “review required” does not mean that you hit the panic mode. Instead, read the context in which it is there. If there is a concern regarding a document, you can send a replacement document via CSE. The most common reasons for RR are:

1. Work reference letter without job duties
2. Work reference letters missing all the details requested by IRCC
3. If you submitted a letter from a colleague because you were unable to get one from your employer, but did not have a LoE on file, this too will lead to RR.
4. Not sufficient work experience in the primary NOC.
5. Inability to verify your employment as your employer details are missing.

There are just some of the scenarios.

I am in same position with Unilag. They replied WES on Monday, I called WES yesterday and they told me they have not received any email from Unilag. She however told me it would take at least 3-5 work days for any update to reflect on my dashboard. So I am hoping by Friday they will update.

eghosaadeghe:
Called WES already. They're saying they're yet to receive any mail from Uniben hence they cant update anything, but Uniben are very sure they've sent it.

It will take WES at least 3-5 work days to update ur status. Remember Monday was public holiday in Canada. Call WES to inquire.

eghosaadeghe:
Goodevening everyone. Uniben sent WES an email to verify my transcripts but WES claims to have not received such, even though transcripts office at Uniben is adamant the email was sent and delivered to WES. Paid the 2k Uniben charges through remita, exchanged it for receipt, submitted to them and all. Please has anyone experienced such before and how did u tackle the issue. Thanks

You have come to the right place.

First you need to determine if your current job is eligible for Federal Skill Worker program.

Second, BSc alone cannot grant you sufficient points going by recent trends. Even if your spouse contributes the max 30point available to dependent spouse.

You may have to enlist in short courses like BCS, NACETEM, Unilag HRDC, CIMA, NOUN PGD etc to claim 2 or more certificate/diploma to boost your score.

You also need to postpone writing IELTS for now until you get any of these additional certificates.

Yes you can apply alone and add him later but it is generally advised not to do so because of the complexities associated with such. He would also need to do medicals, PCC and you also need to show POF to cover him.

There are number of evaluating bodies that do not require you to send WAEC/NECO. ICES, ICAS will suffice since you still have time

Lastly, it's not appropriate to say your husband is perpetually broke on a public forum.

P. S: READ, READ, READ THIS FORUM. LET IT BE YOUR BIBLE.

Dinma27:
Good morning everyone. This thread has really been enlightening. I came in here with zero knowledge but now I know some things at least. Been asking random questions and checking the CRS with a proposed score in my head but I want to come out straight because I need advice,suggestions and encouragements.

I am a lady
I clocked 30 Jan 2019 and my husband will clock 30 by Nov 3rd 2019; so he is still 29. I have been the only one looking for materials. He wants to relocate but has paid zero attention to writing ielts. it doesn't look like he wants to write it. I swear I have talked about it tire but he has turned deaf ears to this.

We both have BSc and as our highest qualification. I have six years work experience but he has been an entrepreneur that has not hammered so we can't use his account because he is constantly broke. I can afford the account balance/statement for the both of us.

Now from the tests I have been trying ehn...the thing hard o and I don't really have time like that because of work. I have not even gotten up to 7 in the few tests I took.

We have no family in Canada or job or anything that will give us Canada score

I would have loved him to be the PA but his account statement nko, no interest in Ielts exam, no work experience, his business is registered but no tax has been paid yet because its high.

We want to relocate o but he is the kind that has interest in something but does nothing to achieve it and will be excited if we get the PR.

Please is there any training center in Lagos where I can go for one on one training? I need to get like 9 seriously. I have some e-materials but I think I can learn better one on one or if I offline tests before the exam.

I studies Health Education and he studied Chemical Engineering.

What suggestions do you guys have for me, i really wish to start a life there.

Can i apply alone first and add him later? because the ranking so far no even reach 390 not to talk of 400. He won't let me go alone if I get PR. What else can I do to increase our CRS within a short time?

Then for the WES, people who used NECO, how did you go about it? I have not collected my original result. Or is there another body I can use instead of WES?

My ielts exam is on July 20th.

I have a lot in my mind to ask but this is long already.

Thanks as you guide and encourage a sister. God bless

They sent it on the 29th of May, Unilag received it on the 17th of June. That is about 18days. I think unilag was waiting for the hard copy via regular mail hence the delay.

Mariesio:
Pls how long before Unilag saw the initial request for verification from WES bc WES sent me a mail since May 22nd that they have requested for it while Unilag said they are yet to receive it

Some people in the 450 range wld be thinking had I known I wld have accepted OINP

Congrats Aby .....ITA in the bag, safe and secured!!!

abyejecks:
ITA just landed o

Congratulations this is no easy feat. Wow



[quote author=Greatlady234 post=79677484]Hello everyone,so I got my PPR on June 14th (Yay!!!)and it's been very busy trying to sort things out in preparation but I have to give back to the place I got so much information from.

For those interested

Visit Unilag every Tuesday and Thursday

PreciousRuby:
Please do you have any contact in Unilag that can assist with processing? I have applied online and it's going to 2 months now.

Wes is claiming not to have received verification done by email after 5 work days. Anyone experienced this before. However, Unilag have agreed to forward again.

Pls confirm this NOC is eligible for FSW before going ahead.

Tessie89:
Am grateful sir/ma

Pls house....how long on average does WES take to update dashboard to estimated time of completion after Unilag responds to verification request.

Do you mean 33,000? Don't give people false hope o. This year's target is 81, 400.

Debsify:
With less than 40000 invited so far, it looks short of the over 330,800 people they said they'll invite this year

Sincerely there isn't much you can do. I spent nearly 1month trying to apply for my wife's Unilag statement of result. At the time, they were said to be upgrading the site. Perhaps you may try during weekends- Sundays specifically and late nights.Luck

Framaro:
Greetings to everyone

I have tried cyber cafe, phone & laptop & i don't know what to do.
Pls for the elders in the house that have applied to unilag before, what do i do from here. I need yoir help pls.

Dear e-mates happy democracy to you all and congrats to all ITA recipients.

They even went ahead to send WES a mail regarding it.We have about 11weeks until my wife's next birthday. This one CRS is spiking up, loosing 5points will be very painful o. Suggestions are welcome please
