cyrilomonjeva:
Thanks,I calculated my possible score in CRS ,express entry,it is 420 ,MSC in review,already submitted my highest degree B.Eng for WES verification

Saw a post on PNP for AIPP,Atlantic immigration pilot.From his post he said its better one get a job before applying for the PNP,when I went through the openings,I discovered that for the jobs offers related to the present work I do,the requirement would be that I have a degree in computer science or relative courses.

Please,if there anything to do to boost my Point or other options apart express entry


Thanks

learn french. I am doing that now and enjoying it. Not a very easy route though. It's for those who are willing to give all it takes to get to Canada.

bLacKGoLd3:
Assess only your SA degree.
Choose standard (non-tracking postal service).

Isn't these info already on Page 1? Pfft!

thanks very much. Well appreciated

A quick one pls. I'm in the process of evaluating with Wes. Which delivery option do you advice- standard or tracking? Tracking cost an additional 80dollars. What's the implication for choosing standard?

I'm only assessing my South Africa masters. Is that Ok or should I add Nigerian first degree?

Hello All Great TEFarians
I'm very glad to be here and will like to express a sincere appreciation to every contributor(s) on this thread. May we all achieve our individual heart desires.
Please myself and my spouse are intending to stat the EE process soon. After evaluating our scores using the CRS tools we discovered that we fall below the 450 points which is about the average points score according to the current trends in the draw. Hence, we discovered that if we try TEF exams and passed at 7 CLB on all 4 areas, we will be well above 470 points which is more than enough to receive ITA as of now.
My spouse will be our PA because of my age, but She will start from scratch as to French language.
Questions:
1. Is 8 months reasonably possible to learn, write and pass the TEF exams with a 7 CLB?
2. I'm planning on writing the TEF too, does my own result also count? I asked because the CRS tools only requests for PA's second language.
3. Is there any learning group we can join immediately?
4. What resources (Video or Books) can you recommend for a complete beginner (Newbs/Rookie)?
5. Can I evaluate only my HND and BCS IT certificate as two or more certificate?
Thank you as you assist with your advice.

Note: We are planning to ace IELTS as well.

I'm in the same situation. I maxed out my ielts score( LWSR 8.5,7.5,8,9) and having noticed that crs draws have been on 450 for some time, I started learning french from scratch since 1st April. I got a private tutor (not cheap, but I am determined). We hold 3 classes per week (Monday 1hr, Tuesday 2hrs, Thursday 2hrs). Most times, he exceeds the hours. I do a lot of learning on my own too. I watch easy French, rfi, tv5monde, watch French in action videos, all on youtube. I also downloaded some TEF materials from this thread. I had to read this thread from the beginning and I've been following quietly for some time.

Now, I can read to an extent. Listening is still an issue, a big one. I think French people talk too fast. But I still practise listening daily even though I can only pick a few words. My teacher encourages me to listen all the same. I listen while driving, cooking and whenever I have some spare time. I've started practising speaking too. We hold 20minutes french conversation (he talks, i just listen) at the beginning of each class. He talks about world politics, the society etc. After conversation, we do grammar. Last week, he introduced role play after grammar lesson (e.g buying stuffs from shops, asking and giving directions, just simple everyday stuff).

I also joined Duolingo, a French meet up club in Lagos. We watched a movie last month (Les tontons flinguers). Another meeting is coming up this weekend and they would be discussing "les couleurs" and " Les vetements".

I am still learning and simply enjoying myself while at it. I still have a lot to learn. For books, I got Bescherrelle for French verbs, French dictionary and few novels. I downloaded Schaum's outline on French grammar. Be ready to use a lot of internet data. For now, I do not "economise" on data.

My teacher says 8months is doable depending on how well I immerse myself. I'll join Alliance Francais TEF class before taking the exam. No date in mind yet as it's such a humbling journey.

With the scholarship, you have to provide the following

1. Medicals, 41k naira x 5, biometrics, 8,200naira X 5, Health insurance might be more than 2.0million naira because you have pay for the period of your study at once bfor visa application, one visa application fee AUD 575 covers the whole family.

2. There is no minimum amount for your SOA, put as much as you can because this increases your chances of showing that your condition in Nigeria is good. it is advisable to use your hubby's, urself, mum or dad account for the SOA bc[os u will be asked to prove your relationship with whosoever account you present.

3. The chances are the ability to prove that the family is going to australia genuinely and temporarily. This can be done by showing your present job details, your husband current job and why you want them to accompany you to australia while studying. Also, showing evidence for properties could help.

I hope this info helps!!!

Thank you very much for this. Well appreciated. Will update the house as things unfold.

This is good. You really tried. I wish i could have B1 in each part and Canada is sure. J'apprend francais maintenant.

Mamaroon:
Ok peeps. So it's some good news and some not so good news

CE 242 C1 CLB8 3 points
CO 267 B2 CLB7 3 points
EE 267 B1 CLB5 1 point (abeg who I offend )
EO 339 B2 CLB7 3 points

NJ, DanMisla I need epp, una fit tutor me for this EE. I feel like giving up but in reality I can't quit.

I thought I could do a DanMisla and go for French as first language but I need CLB 7 in all....any other way out?

Please I need info on things I need to do for visa grant for me, my hubby and 3kids. I'm going with family cos that's the only way I can focus on my studies.

From discussions with my supervisor, I may likely get a tuition, living expenses scholarship. With a scholarship, education fee would be waived for my kids. I read that somewhere.

I would only proceed if there's scholarship as the fee is about 84k

I would like to know the following:
1. cost of medicals, biometrics, health insurance, visa application fee.
2.the minimum amount that should be in SO A? Which SOA would I present?mine, hubby or a relative.
3. What can enhance our visa chances?

School is UNSW. Course LL.M by research. 2 yr programme

Lol so you'll go about telling everyone who cares that your kid has American citisenship? You'll be putting your kids into danger.

Better let no one know.

when I was in secondary school in the late 90s, a girl brought her American passport and those of her sisters to show off. Our Yoruba teacher entered class and saw the passports. He summoned her immediately and explained to her how important those documents were. I'm sure her parents were not aware she took them.

This is a country that kills its best.

etrange:
Oh yes. It's actual cool if you asked me. Once people hear TEF could boost their score, they quickly run to AF to do the exam hoping they'd luckily pass. This has increased the rate of failure. Asides the fact that candidates waste their money, it'd not be good for the reputation of AF if it's said that they only collect people's cash for the sake of it. Besides, that will no do any good to our statistics when French ministry of education releases the statistics of TEF results by country. Lol.

If one is really preparing for TEF (targeting B2), being tested for B1 shouldn't be a problem. I don't think AF is saying you should have DELF B1 certificate, they are only saying your French should be at B1 level, at least, before you attempt the exam.

so how do we prove that we are on B1 level? Are we going to write a test at AF to prove this?

And one of his daughters studied medicine in UI in the early 2000s when other politicians and MILADs who had looted sent theirs abroad. She lived with us in Queens hall. We queued together for water during outages and even fetched "konga". Have you seen any former governor's children in any Nigerian varsity of recent? They are all abroad.

His housing estates were not for the rich. They were for low income earners. My mum said even pepper sellers were allocated flats in the estate.

Zombicmodz:
Still not a guarantee..

I quite agree. But at least one class of envy (being from a rich background) would be off the list.

LilMissFavvy:
He paid 2k each for their gate fee, paid for their drinks, and also paid for the fish they ate......it's only someone with a good heart who would do these, yet the evil hearts of his friends could not be pacified. He did not know how to swim, but felt his friends were there to assist him, yet they betrayed him. I hope a death sentence or life imprisonment will be given.

the boy must have been very trusting with a good heart. The friends would have shown signs of jealousy in times past but he might not even realise they were jealous.

I think this is why the rich keep their children in certain schools meant for people of their class.

wingmanII:
Nothing to show it was premeditated murder.
Crime of passion. This is manslaughter, maybe life imprisonment. All these quota/sharia judges

you are right. Intent (mens rea) is an important element in securing a conviction for murder. At best, the conviction should be manslaughter.

The middle class are on their way to canada

This woman is beautifully generous.

akinke:
If you choose to come in for your MRes.... Plan to write Australian Bar exams immediately. Solicitor is on the skilled list. You can also go to New Zealand to write it, if that's more flexible for you when you are here. You can get the PR before you finish your MRes as a Solicitor.

hmm. Thanks for this insight. I never thought of this.

fobak203:
First of, My prayer is that you get the scholarship for your MRes program. It cost close to 65000bucks annually. For your PR, It will be easier for your husband to apply for PR as the principal apicant since his skill set is closer to what's available on the Skill shortage list. To increase your PR chances. He needs to focus on acing IELTS or PTE on arrival or even now, because he might be blown away by paying bills on arrival. You need to increase your points by writing IELTS too if you have not. He can nominate an occupation that u sleds competitive (with lower cut-off) as his skillset cuts across many fields. After getting PR. He can do whatever job he likes eventually. Hope this helps.
Other things like studying and doing that in a regional area are other points but that one na long thin. My tips are for the NOW. You guyz can get extra 15points from both of you doing IELTS, but with him scoring maximum points. You don't have to.

thank you very much for your response. It is well appreciated. I have written ielts general training and maxed out (L8.5 W. 7.5 S8 R9). I will encourage him to write ielts now. I'm really hoping for a scholarship.

Please elders in the house, I need your advice.
I'm applying for masters degree programme by research. I have found a supervisor who has agreed to supervise my thesis and i'm hoping to get scholarship.

Beyond the studies, I desire PR as I really want my kids (3 of them) to live and school in Australia. I am a lawyer here in Nigeria and the proposed masters is also in law. I plan to do phd after the masters. From my findings, I don't think law is on the Australian skills list. However, my husband has Hnd elect/elect and Bsc computer science. He has worked mainly in IT (system support and IT Audit/control). He is willing to go with me.

If we go together, what do we need to do to increase our chances of getting PR? I really need your advice.

BecaciaBarbie:
Yes those mountains.... We visited those mountains many times for picnics, and the roads are also well tarred. I believe you no longer live there?

We left for Lagos mid-80s

BecaciaBarbie:
Hahahaha You are absolutely right o! They treated us like Kings and Queens, I have never experienced the kind of love we were shown befor, never! From time to time we were given food stuffs by our different neighbors (tomatoes, pepper, rice, yam flour, corns, etc) as in ehnnnn...they were so so generous towards us, free rides inclusive and the joy and excitement on their faces each time a corper passed by is beyond this world! We also had a particular rich neighbor, whose grand kids visited our lodge during the day time then later at night we go to their house...a very big house and talk about politics, life, watch TV etc and by the way, I served in Isemi-Ile town, mehn... I wished I could go back again....and the corpers lodge? Oh goodness! Too nice... Honestly, the lodge is so spacious and on point! and we all had one room to ourselves. We were 8 corpers in the lodge. We also cooked and did everything together like a family.
Our NCCF family house is situated at Okeho, PHCN building...i believe they are still there and we used the Winners Chapel for our Sunday fellowship.
Lol I could go on and on really... Loool

Ah! You really had a great time. I'm from Okeho. When I was a child, my family lived very close to Okeho Iganna grammar school. Our activities revolved around that school. We played on the surrounding hill's. There were a lot of them then. Sweet nostalgia!

BecaciaBarbie:
I rep Kajola Where I served... I love Oyo state... Oh I loooooooooooooooooove Oyo state, mehnnnn..... I will never forget the great and amazing months I had there!!!

I'm from Kajola. Glad to know you had an awesome experience. Hospitality of Kajola people is unrivalled especially towards corpers. My people love corpers no be small. Which of the towns was your PPA

I remember I've seen her before at a bus park in Maryland about 4 or 5 years ago. She was crying profusely and begging that her child was at lasuth and she needed money for treatment and drugs. Most of us were moved by her desperation for help and gave her money without knowing she was a junkie. Someone must have been trailing her. I'm glad she finally found help. God bless Tony Rapu

moscobabs:
Innovative...

Can't forget Amu and Ikeemu

Ah! That's deep. You are a real Yoruba

iyoha240:
could you please help me with Jay's and Liz's videos.
Email: iyohasamson4you@gmail.com

Thanks

I watched them directly on YouTube. Didn't download.

TotoNaRubber:
PHD he would have obtained within 4 years with ease in the UK, US or CANADA.

even South Africa sef assuming he didn't have funds or sponsorship for the countries you mentioned.

vickyuche:
Guys, please I still pray for anyone who has experience on any of those two centres (Ikeja and Surulere) to answer my question above.

Anyone with PTE Voucher for sale??

I had the test at Ukeas Ikeja. Test was scheduled for 1p.m. We didn't start till almost 3.pm due to some technical issues with their equipment. Test was good for the most part but at some point during the "give short answer" session, there was a glitch in the audio recording and I missed a question. They did nothing. The same happened again while I was listening to thr retell lecture audio, though for a brief moment.

Zionista:
I align with him 100%,though the grammatical soundness of his letter is suspect and unbecoming of his status as the head of a citadel of learning.

He literally penned a rant fuelled by an enraged emotional state. This is too watery and pedestrian for a VC.

He intentionally used expressions everyone would understand.
