Religion / Re: 80,000 Scottish Independence Supporters March In Confirmation Of TB Joshua’s Pro by Arlanda: 2:24pm On Jan 12, 2020
Miracleboy2019:
80,000 Scottish Independence Supporters March In Confirmation Of TB Joshua’s Prophecy

Tens of thousands of Scottish independence supporters have marched through Glasgow in the first of a series of protests aimed to increase pressure for another independence referendum.

The move comes in confirmation of the prophetic message Prophet TB Joshua gave for 2020 regarding United Kingdom.

“There will be agitation from a section that wants to leave; that will become an issue,” he said in the prophecy released on December 28th 2019.

The "emergency" march was organised in the wake of last month's general election, which saw the pro-independence SNP win 48 of the 59 seats in Scotland. Organisers estimated that about 80,000 people attended the march.

Scottish voters backed remaining in the UK by 55% to 45% in a referendum in 2014 - but Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP leader and Scotland's first minister, says she wants to hold another vote on independence later this year.

Four of Joshua’s eleven prophecies have already come to fulfilment – with the cleric revealing the US attack of Iran General Qasem Soleimani, the division between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the British Royal Family and the passing of Oman’s ruler Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said.

Yes, do evaluate just your masters(which gives your maximum point for masters)

This rule of evaluating the highest degree, does it apply to Provincial Nominee Program. I mean when applying for PNP

Arlanda:
How many document should one evaluate if you are applying to PNP or Express Entry.

I have Bsc accounting, this is where I got my work experience from and the particular NOC I chosed. But I got this degree from Nigeria university, considering the stress involve to get transcript in my school, worst of, I presently don't reside in Naija. 

On the other hand, I have masters in Business Studies with focus in accounting in global enterprises. I obtained this degree from a European university and I believed this will be easier for me to verify in WES or any other chosen assessment organisation. 

Please, should I evaluate my masters only for PNP. Or evaluate bachelor degree, masters respectively. 

Lastly, is there need to evaluate NECO result as well.

Thanks.

Auroralights:

1. Yes, you can pay for WES with Zenith MasterCard. Didn't use WES but I know someone who did and she used Zenith card to pay.
2. Can't help you with that, someone else who probably went to the same school may.
3.For IELTS, you should watch E2 language and IELTS Liz on YouTube. Follow their guidelines, they are very good at what they do. For writing, you can get a friend or whoever to help assess your writing since you cannot gauge your own progress by yourself. You should also use Cambridge IELTS series books to practice. They are very good.

Please If WES send your documents to your University for verification, will they inform you?

Why Canada?

I have had family and friends relocate abroad but never really considered it cuz I had previously lived abroad during MSc. and didn’t stay back due to some reasons. My wife as well had no abroad leanings beyond vacations.
Working in Nigeria wasn’t easy; came close to a number of big jobs but didn’t get selected at final AC stage. The “small” companies I worked for had issues paying salaries on time or at all. I quit my job, archived my CV and focused on building my business in Nigeria. However, an issue that rendered me immobile (unable to make money too) for some days, made me realize the benefits of a country that considers the healthcare and welfare of its citizens paramount (go NDP!).

What Canada?

ECA:
WES was a breeze for me due to abroad MSc. I didn’t include my Nigerian degree. 21st, July – 17th Sep, 2018. My wife’s own took much longer cuz of Naija factor but we didn’t use it in the end cuz points were enough. My kid didn’t do at all cuz points were enough.

IELTS:
I already posted my IELTS story in part 5 . 29th Sept, 2018 – L 9, R 9, S 8, W 7.5. My wife didn’t write cuz points were enough. My kid didn’t write cuz kids don’t listen.

ITA v1:
We got our first ITA on Oct 29th, 2018 but rejected it cuz I had to use POF for business.

Medical v1:
We had our medicals on Nov 8th, 2018. Mine went smoothly. During our doctor interview, I mentioned my asthma history while my wife told him about her thyroid gland history. He said hers wasn’t an issue according to the system/software but he would double-check and get back to us. The waiting period was filled with anxiety. The next day, the nurse called to inform us that we passed. My kid did his medicals…yeah! finally contributing when points are not being taken.

ITA v3: April 17th, 2018.

POF:
It took a while to return to our account. Pls blame my clients, they are not alright…all right.
We had our funds in a joint (just my wife and I...my kid wasn’t happy about being excluded cuz he definitely contributed money) Stanbic Mutual Funds account. I logged in and printed our account statement in PDF, combined it with the scanned letter from Stanbic.

NOC:
Initially selected 2147 based on my previous job titles, but when I read the rules and found out that job role trumps trudeaus job title, I switched to 2281. My former offices owed it to me (literally and financially) to “follow my advice” on how to structure the letters.

LoE:
My letter was 63 pages long…attached docs inclusive oh. I explained every document uploaded in placeholders and attached to the LoE.
Major explanations:
i- POF: I felt I had to explain the source of POF cuz it came in bulk few days after/before ITAv3. I attached statements from my company account, CAC docs, biz docs (Purchase Orders, Contracts, etc.)
ii- Wife’s name: My wife had been using a shortened version of her name on ALL her official documents except her birth certificate which has the spiritual version. Her change of name after marriage was from her shortened version to her current name.

When Canada?

AOR/Post AOR:
May 27th, 2019
The wait was pretty chill for me as I have previously handled visa applications all by myself. I registered on immitracker and saw people going green in 69 days…we started praying for a speedy conclusion. grin
My wife occasionally asked for updates…but the frequency increased towards the end of 2019 as we needed to plan 2020.
My kid didn’t ask for updates at the beginning…neither at the middle nor the end. I’m beginning to suspect he doesn’t know what’s going on.
I joined the April/May AOR WhatsApp group around this time.
Our account was pretty uneventful till our medical expired Nov 8th 2019…ghost update. I read some people’s stories on canadavisa forum where they got their medicals extended so we were hopeful.
On Nov 10th, my wife gave birth to another kid who is also enjoying points he didn’t contribute to. We raised a CSE the following day etc (see timeline). IOM was kind enough to schedule us for the baby’s medical a day after baby’s passport was ready. I made a mistake when signing the IMM0008 form so we got an ADR for it. Baby’s UCI was ready on Dec 7th.
Medical v2 (entire family excluding new baby) requested on Dec 10th. MEPv2 on Dec 19th.
Got an ADR for updated POF even though I included it when uploading docs in response to ADR for Baby.
We received the PPR email on Jan 3rd, 2020.

How Canada?

Will find out after landing. cool

We are saying a big thank you to all those that answered our questions and pointed us in the right direction. We appreciate all the positive messages in response to my application status updates. We pray everyone’s PR dream is fulfilled.

God bless!

Congratulations

Thank you

And where did you read that? @bold is not a criteria for EE, programs like AINP or RNIP are the ones that requires a job offer. EE you dont need a job offer to be eligible for it.

The federal skilled Express entry looks somehow complicated

Is it compulsory one must get a job offer in Canada before eligibility

Hi bro,

I want to ask you some questions with respect to Canada express entry. I want to apply for the program and migrate from where I currently live which is Scandinavian to Canada permanent.

My concern is, 10 years ago I was banned in US embassy in Nigeria for misrepresentation. I wanted to go for masters then, my sponsor bank statement caused the banned. So few years ago I did the masters program in Nordic country, I have traveled to many European countries and the UK. I am legally resident in Europe with work permit, my first application to UK, they asked me if I was ever banned in US. I told them exactly what happened in my application then, still they gave me the visa.

I heard Canada, US , UK, Australia and New Zealand share immigration data. I am very skeptic if the Canada will grant my permit, even though I have visited one of the countries listed above with same circumstance.
