You can read this too. The Category instructions.

Thank you.

Do u av work experience with NOC 33101 in the last 3yrs? They started this category draw last year 2023. And part of the requirement is that you must have had work experience with that NOC in the last 3yrs with a minimum of 6month work experience (i.e from 2021 - 2023)

My score is 475 but i have not gotten ITA for healthcare.

Medical laboratory assistant

I guess Agriculture will be next followed by Transport.

aworhmabel:
Congratulations to Health care ooh!!!

I'm so happy for you guys.

Congratulations to Health care ooh!!!

I'm so happy for you guys.

Hmmm, sorry about your whole situation:

I will recommend you do the following (pls note that my advise to you wld be based on what i wld do if i were in your shoes)

As for the password you changed it might seem a bit confusing cos you sat for the exam and obviously you created your login details i guess, or did someone register for the exam on your behalf (if yes, den what was the need for the password change as i personally don't think it should affect your result). If there is no result that means no exam was sat for or maybe you have been scammed by the agent you used. That is if you used one. Or maybe there is an expiration to when your result can be viewed online. I personally have not taken the french exam so i don't know about their rules and all.

1. Instead of sending emails, take a day off from work or school and go to the centre where you registerd for the exam and lay your complaint there. This is a serious issue so they should be able to give you an answer

2. If you didn't take the exam yourself (i am not saying you didn't, just incase you didn't) don't bother escalating the issue, cos obviously the centre won't be able to help you and that will be an issue with IRCC if they find out something was fishy.

Your only option here is to go to the centre and complain, I am sure there will be a way for them to retrieve your results if you go in person.

It is just a little confusing cos i believe that wen you were sent your result the first time, i am sure there might have been an option for you to download it, which i guess is what you uploaded for your PR application. So IRCC not being able to verify the result only means that the result isn't legit. That's my 2cent though.

I wish you goodluck🙏

Jaradayn:
Good day everyone, I currently have a challenge and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I was selected for EE draw last year and I've passed both medical and biometrics. My main challenge here is that after all my suffering of preparing and writing TEF (which set me back almost 3 years) IRCC sent me a PFL saying they can't verify my TEF language tests. I currently don't know what to do. I have reached out to Alliance française where I sat for the exams and they aren't forthcoming. Now I have a few more days before the 30 days I was given expires and all I have is the mails I got from the centre when I paid, the schedule they sent me and the mail I got when my result came out.

NB: In the mail I got for the result, I activated the result and changed my password then but what I noticed now is that when I log in now all I get is a blank white page which wasn't the case before now

They are not predictable I swear.

God will definitely favour everyone expecting their draws to be done soon. Amen🙏.

God will bypass all IRCC protocols to favour us. Amen🙏

Ontarioo:
Shows IRCC can't be predicted. Where are those saying Canada is done with draws

Stay ready and be positive if you're in this journey. Draws for your category can happen anytime.

Congrats to those that are under Trade.

God go do am for us under transport. Amen 🙏

Hi,
I'm so sorry about what you are going through. It can be really frustrating but don't give up.
My advise will be for you to try the following:
1. Try building up your CV with the help of some AI tools online (the secret of being called or contacted by most HR's is an attractive CV). Make sure your Cv alligns with the job you are applying for, for example if it's a logistics planner role you are applying for, make sure you av previous work experience with logistics.
2. Applying for Jobs is usually a job on it's own. Try and set a target per day. 30 applications minimum. I understand it's alot but imagine applying for 30 jobs per day, there is no how, in 7 days, you won't get called for an interview after applying for 210 jobs a week. Even if no one calls you that week you've applied. Just keep applying.
3. Set up a LinkedIn account if you don't have one, try and stay active then apply for all the jobs you see there close to your area or places you can use public transportation to. You can even apply for jobs that were uploaded 3days ago to the current day you are applying (pls make sure the roles you are applying for can be defended by you. More like when you are called for an interview, you can have something to say about the role)
4. You can create an account via Canada job bank and apply for jobs posted there. (Personally i prefer LinkedIn but you can try that too)
5. You can also try applying via Indeed too.
6. Some companies might reject your application, but don't let it stop. Just keep trying and don't give up.
7. If you are not limited to working in a particular province, i will advise you to apply for jobs in other provinces after giving yourself an additional one month in Manitoba.

I wish you all the best.

francophone134:
Hello brothers and sisters I beg you people please it’s it’s time I speak out. I’ve been in Winnipeg for almost 8 months now and I can’t even get a job. I’ve applied to all kind of jobs both online and in person and everything seems daunting. I beg you all please help me with connection. I beg you in the name of God almighty. Bills choke and I’m out of funds to even pay rent. I need a connection for job my people please. I am currently in Winnipeg Manitoba. Please someone should ransom me abeg.

Yes u can if u av evaluated your bsc via WES.

So if u av Wes, Ielts and Tef. That would be great. Especially if age is on ur side (u might just qualify for the french draw).

Iamharyo99:
Yes you Can

This is just me guessing ooh😁. I think the next draw which will likely be today or tomorrow will be the general draw followed by a category draw which is transport draw (I am just using the past draws to predict). I noticed that transport draws are usually conducted every 3months and they always fall on a Wednesday.
So my guess is general draw will be held today while transport draw will be held tomorrow.

eniola1010:
I am patiently waiting for the new healthcare draw. French has been released, pnp has been released, stem and general has been released, i think if any is to be released it should be healthcare

Thanks

futureenergy:
This depends on what you want to study. There's hardly a "fully funded" government grant for studies. You could easily get a student loan, which would have some grants included, but you would pay back your loan. There are also very good scholarships for high-flyers, if you were talking about research (MSc and PhD). The first step is to gain admission and start.

Hi Guys,

Please is anyone here currently residing in Alberta Calgary or Edmonton?

Please, I am curious to know how to go about obtaining a fully funded government grant for studies for someone who is a newcomer in Canada (i.e under PR)
Is there a body one can contact?

Ok

ayokunlemmy:
@aworhmabel, Pls can we have a private chat?. I want to ask you some questions regarding transport based category

Ok thanks

Lastbornbuns:
Please, just disclose it. Someone got a procedural fairness letter for undisclosed visa denial just a few posts back.

Hi Guys

Please i av a question.

I was in Ukraine during the war, so i applied for something called Uk Ukraine Sponsorship Visa Scheme, but unfortunately my application was refused. (This is not a normal visa, it was even free and open to only people affected by the war in Ukraine)

To cut the story short, i applied for the normal visiting visa to Canada and was approved (but i did not indicate that i have been denied a visa before, which is the Uk Ukraine Sponsorship scheme). Now I'm processing an express entry application in Canada, do i need to indicate that i had a refusal before?.

Or should i ignore as i did for my tourist visa?

Responded to u already

shinaxurdick:
Hello! Aworhmable,

I mail u what pls, can we talk pls,

Pls respond 🙏

Oh ok. Please you guys shouldn't av more dan 1 profile. Thanks

Afolavid:
Just in case you don't know, it's against the Canadian immigration rules to have more than a profile at a time. Also, be careful of the type of information you give out to people online so as not to mislead them or get them into trouble.

I can't really predict wen d next french draw will take place cos the timeline is not so stable. They didn't do the french draw in January dz year but dey did in February and March. So maybe they might do it next week who knows (i.e if u are using 2months interval. Fingers crossed

koreanlord:
sis..what's your guess about the French draw?

I'm just giving a prediction, not that I'm 100% sure. I calculated it myself based on the timeline for previous draws done. You can check yourself through the link below https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/ministerial-instructions/express-entry-rounds.html As for Agriculture draw my guess will be next week (since it would be two weeks by then). Yes, you can have two profiles. I had two, so when my first profile expired i wasn't worried because i had another one running.
You just need two email addresses that's all. By the way I'm a female

dest4real:
How did you know the next draw will be in June sir?

When will be the next draw for Agriculture please?

Can someone create two express entry profile? I'm hearing this for the first time?

Ooh ok thanks

aurorae1:
30k online plus extra at the station depending on your bargaining power, if you know what I mean

Please who knows d current cost of obtaining a police report in Nigeria?

I will advise u to target transport draw. The next draw will be in june. All u need to do now is get a reference from any logistics company u know (3yrs reference) update ur NOC to transportation manager and u are good to go. Or better still create a second express entry profile with the transport Noc.

chimzyblack:
Omo see STEM draw that I was hoping on, this people cut CRS of 491.
Why do other category based draw have lower CRS points than STEM?
My CRS score is 480, and I turn 30 in December.
is there hope?
Abi make I go Start to learn french.

Thank you so much.

The results come out after one week. They send it to your email, so after one week of taking the exams, start checking your inbox and spam mail.

Hi House,

Please, does anyone know if the Tef result takes longer than 4weeks to be out (I'm asking those dat av taken d exam ladt month or even dz year)?

You don't really need to do much because you are on the right part:

Does ur wife have a masters degree? If yes she can stand in as the principle applicant. So, all u guys need to do are as follows

-Get both of ur masters degrees verified by WES.
-Both of you need to prepare and take the IELTS General test (pls aim for high scores in listening, reading, writing qnd speaking. Minimum of 8 in listening, 7 in reading, 7 in writing and 7.5 in speaking. It would be perfect if u get 7.5 in reading and 7.5 in writing cos the higher ur scores the higher your CRS in language.
-Since ur wife studied french, she willdo better in the TEF Canada exam. And that's why i suggested her to be the pricipal applicant (hope she is not more dan 30, cos if she is then you should be d principal applicant, there will be a drop in age for you guys)
-The relative u av in Canada, is it a sister or brother? It has to be an immediate family member for you to av additional in ur CRS score)
-I will advise you take the Ielts and do ur WES first, afterwich u create an express entry profile and enter d pool. You can always update ur profile with ur TEF result wen it is out.

Fortunately they do the french draw on a reg, and u both qualify, coupled with d fact dat u stand a higher chance too with the general draw.

I wish you guys all d luck u can get.

bharkarh:
hello, I just stumbled on this thread and I think it would be good I present my issues here.

I currently live and work in the UK with my wife and looking at the possibility of moving to Canada through the express entry route.

I hold a masters degree in Finance and Accounting where I finished with a distinction and recently converted my result at the university of Toronto.

I have a 6 years accounting experience, will be 30 in July and my wife studied French where she can write and speak French.

I also have a family that lives in Canada.

I understand that the information provided above will give me good points to move to Canada but I don’t understand the processes involved.

I would appreciate it if you or anyone here could put me through on the steps to go about it.

A link would also be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Since you already know the location of where you are taking the exam, put the address via booking.com

Check for hotels around that said location, and go with the one that suits your budget.

shawylux:
good evening,

I am writing the IELTS UKVI General in Abuja. As someone coming from another state which hotel is closer and cheaper for me to the test center(Maitama).

Hi

You should know your test center if you sat for the exam.

I'm sure when you paid for your exam, you were sent a location on where you were going to take the exam, or better still look for the contact details of the body that you sat for the exam through their website.

For example, if you took the exam with British council, they usually put their contact number on your exam portal, through the "Help" section.

Japaperson:
Thank you for this. But I don't even know my IELTS center number or even how to contact them

aurorae1:
Salut tout le monde...
It's finally my time...

Received my results and couldn't not come back here, where it all started.

I'll come back to share my timeline/story.
But to the creator of this thread, the OGs and everyone who has contributed to it all, may you be rewarded immensely.

Wow!!!

Congratulations!!!.

I tap into this your result ooh

stephenponti:
Please how can I find the resources you spoke about. The Link In page one is not active

Hi,

I used the following:

Listening: ieltsonlinetests.com

Reading: ieltstrainingonline.com

ieltsliz.com for my writing.

Speaking: I watched demo videos on YouTube on the format to answer questions for speaking. You can just google the IELTS speaking videos with band 9 on youtube.

Japaperson:
Please who can answer this.. how do I have my changed results on EOR

Hi,

What you can do is call your center (i.e. the center that issued your first IELTS result) and ask them when you can come pick up your new result.

But first of all, when your first result came out before you applied for the EOR, did you go pick it up yourself or did they courier it to you?

The answer to that question will determine how you get your new result.

I applied for an EOR and after the remarking and my score changed, BC sent a mail asking me to courier my first result to them, so they could reissue a new one with my new scores.

bimbaztryzzi:
Hello. Please does the computer-based test get a paper copy of the TRF? I saw my computer-based result 7 days ago, and I called British Council today about the paper copy TRF, which I thought would be sent, but I was told that for computer-based, it is an e-Copy we have, which is on the results page, that no paper copy.

Please, can anyone verify that?

Hi,

Recently, people who sit for the BC CBT exam are usually issued an electronic result which can be downloaded on your IELTS portal.

I have been issued the same, I wrote the BC CBT numerous times and on several occasions, an electronic result was issued to me.

It is the same as the hard copy you get if you do the paper-based test. All you need to do with your electronic result is to download/print it, There is also a verification format that the agency that needs your result can easily confirm with your center if it is authentic online.
