dejilale:
Pls gurus in the house I need an explanation on this;

What advantage EE has over PNP? I mean applying directly through EE or through PNP, which is a better option? I seem not to understand.
What are the minimum CLB for each province?
With EE, as long as you meet the CRS cut-off point, you can get Invitation To Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residence (PR). That means you must have created an EE profile.

With PNP, YOU STILL NEED AN EE PROFILE but once you get nominated by a province, you just upload your certificate of nomination on your EE profile giving you an additional 600 CRS point and automatically will get you an ITA in the the next round of invitations.

CIC now channels all things immigration to canada through the Express Entry system.

As for advantage: PNP guarantees you will get ITA because of the additional CRS point but EE only you must get the points solely based on all the factors for your EE profile. Also, with PNP, you must be prepared to spend a minimum of certain number of year(s) in the particular province that nominated you before you can migrate to any other province. Please google this for each provinces.

The gurus in the house can throw more light on this.

God Speed.

Hello, please my wife has MSc and we intend using that to get points. So if we want to evaluate her credentials, do we need to submit her BSc alongside with her MSc, or just her MSc alone....
Secondly, I know a friend that works with the exams and records in my school. He said they will help me process my transcripts, seal and stamp it. And they will give it to me to add other documents like copies of my international passport, certificates and so on, and then send it to IQAS or anywhere my self. I hope that won't be a problem,becauae IQAS said it should be sent by d school. (I intend using FedEx or registered mail by nipost).
Evaluating only the M.Sc will still give you the maximum point you want to claim for ECA. However, it's not a bad idea to include the B.Sc if it's not costing you extra dollars.

As for the IQAS, as long as everything look and feel like it originates from the school along with the schools contact: phone, email and functional mail bag for verification of authenticity, I strongly believe you are safe to go. This is how I intend to send mine for proper oversight and tracking purpose.

You might want to get more opinions from the gurus in the house tho. Best Wishes.

Pls read their website carefully b4 u send to avoid stories dt touch grin
Hello iPhie25,

I believe you do have a copy of your transcript as it is needed by IRCC when you get ITA. Did you ask school to duplicate when it is ready or applied for it twice? Or since IQAS only ask for photocopies as indicated on the form, did u collect the original and ask the school to send photocopy with their stamp on it?

Thanks a lot for the time.

From the information provided and the given possible reasons why you were locked out, it appears that you have visited your profile too frequently thus flagging it as suspicious and sending their security bots to work.

As has been advised by several other gurus in the house, kindly let this pass and wait for another opportunity, you've got a good fighting chance. In your current situation you don't have much choice anyway.

I have quick one to ask from you though, from the IQAS checklist of documents meant to be sent from the issuing institution, only photocopies of transcripts were requested. Did you obtain your original transcript from your institution after they have made copies to be sent to IQAS? I need a set of my transcript for ITA purpose and don't want to apply for it twice. Please how did u go about it? Cheers and God speed to your dreams.

I want to invest in stocks by actively trading by myself from next year. I would love to be properly guided by you gurus in the house on where exactly to start, materials to read, blogs to follow, twitter handles if any, facebook page etc. What is the best way to enter the stock trading market for a total newbie? How do I choose my broker, what is learning curve? how long do i need to be on the side before I start active trading? I will also appreciate a mentor who is willing to give me a one-on-one training off this medium even with a fee if necessary.

Many thanks as you lend a helping hand.

PoliticsBombshell: Allegations Of Voter Fraud In Rivers State Greatly Exaggerated - Jega by buemene(op): 1:26am On Jun 14, 2015
Recent development in connection with the just concluded general elections in Rivers State has raised more questions than answered. In an interview with the INEC chaiman, Stella Igwe-Adesoga of Per Second News in Washington, has revealed that allegations that the elections in Rivers state was manipulated and flawed has been exaggerated. He said the elections in the state was credible and the commission did the right thing by announcing the winner.

I sense more trouble for APC in the days ahead. First losing the upper and lower chambers of the national assembly to their not so preferred candidates and now this?
http://www.persecondnews.com/index.php/psn-news/item/3786-allegations-of-fraud-in-rivers-state-election-is-exaggerated-prof-jega-says-election-took-place-in-most-polling-units

Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has insisted that this year’s elections in Rivers state were credible and that the commission did the right thing by announcing the winner.

Recall that the immediate past governor of Rivers State, Hon. Rotimi Ameachi, and the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had been on the fore-front in expressing dissatisfaction with the 2015 general elections as witnessed in Rivers State, alleging all manner of irregularities.

The ex-governor had categorically likened the April 11 election which produced Barr. Nyesom Wike as governor to a daylight robbery, while the APC has charged him to be ready to vacate office soon since its candidate, Dakuku Peterside was already challenging the outcome of the election in court.

Jega was quoted in Washington, DC during a conversation with US policy makers, think-tanks and members of the international community, asserting that allegations that the elections in Rivers State were manipulated and flawed was exaggerated.

The event, which had the theme: ‘Nigeria’s 2015 Elections: What Have We Learnt?’ was hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and anchored by Jenniffer Cooke, Director, African Programme at the institute. According to the INEC boss, “We created a three man team to investigate the allegations of electoral malpractice, it was not true that elections didn’t take place in majority of the state, it was not true that results sheets were manipulated. There was no evidence of malpractice or photocopied result sheets, and no substantive evidence to establish alterations.

“Rivers has become quite a big issue, and we did our best to be able to have enough evidence to make an informed decision before results were returned. We received reports of fake results sheets, use of photocopied result sheet, substitution of trend of INEC personnel and allegation of no election taking place in some polling units.

“It came before we announced the results, so we immediately constituted a three-man team made up of national commissioners to go to Rivers State and investigate the allegations.

“It was not true that elections did not take place in majority part of the state, in fact the evidence was that in the overwhelming majority election took place in most areas.

“It wasn’t true that there were fake result sheets, there were no photocopied results sheets, there was no substantive evidence to support the wild allegations.

“From our investigations we were satisfied that there was no substantive evidence to cancel the elections as agitated by some people, we also have people on ground and observers like TMG, and others who also gave us honest report about what happened.

“I don’t think there were massive irregularities as reported in Rivers State, my advice is that they should go to the tribunal, if they have evidence, On our own part we have done our thorough investigation.”

“We have scanned 95 percent of the results sheets from all the polling units and we will put them on our site once we get to 100 per cent.” “I am not saying there are no irregularities, but not to the magnitude that has been reported,” he clarified.

I rarely comment on threads here due to the curses cum comments that trails virtually any thread and posts on Nairaland. So far, I see meaningful, respectful and reasonable contributions that inspires one to aspire. I am thankful to you all for the proper decorum.

You have been asked what your 1, 5 and 10 year plan is for Hotels.ng and your reply seem to say, just keep growing Hotels.ng. my question is, considering what AirBnB (www.airbnb.com) is doing in over 90,000 Cities around the world now i.e disrupting the traditional hotel system and putting that power in the hand of Home Owners, wouldn't a consideration of similar idea in relation to what you do now be an option?

EducationAfrica Cyber Corridor, Which Way Nigeria? by buemene(op): 3:47pm On Oct 02, 2014
CAN NIGERIA LEAPFROG INTO THE INFORMATION AGE?

Seventeen years ago in 1997, one of Africa’s pragmatic entrepreneurs and computer geek Phillip Emeagwali delivered a moving speech in New York City titled: Can Nigeria Leapfrog into the Information Age? Below is an abridged version of his 40 page speech delivered on the occasion.

Why should Nigeria invest in the software industry? Because that is where the development, empowerment and money is. Computer industry is a trillion-dollar (yes, that is a “T”) market. Today, the richest companies in the world are in the computer industry. Half of the ten richest men in the United States made their money from computer related-industries.

What We Must Do

We must overhaul our universities and polytechnics to enable them to produce 200,000 well-trained scientists and engineers each year. These engineers should be hired by NEPA to bring us constant electricity, NITEL to bring us reliable telephone services, and NNPC to discover and recover more oil.

The computer industry rewards creativity and penalizes conformity. We must encourage creativity and produce an entrepreneurial work force. Nigerian culture encourages conformity, deference and respect for elders, teachers, and leaders.

We must have a technological Cyber Corridor, an approximately 300-square-mile region allocated for information industry workers such as computer programmers, video-games designers, and Web-site developers. Nigeria should collaborate with AU and Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in developing the proposed Cyber Corridor.

We should entice the big multinational infotech companies such as Microsoft, Netscape, IBM, Sun Microsystems, British Telecom, Motorola and Sony to Cyber Corridor by developing the infrastructure such as fiber-optic cables, good roads, safe water, constant electricity, reliable telephones, good schools, modern hospitals, quality housing, leisure and entertainment facilities. In addition, we should permit foreign information technology companies to operate tax-free, bring in highly trained foreign workers, liberalize our laws to allow foreign investors to repatriate some of their profits with less protocol, assure the personal safety of both indigenes and foreigners, rectify our image as the most corrupt nation on earth, ensure political stability by eliminating coups d’etat, and train the workforce for the new Information Age.

The Cyber Corridor could become the Hollywood of Africa, where information technology is used to produce educational and entertainment shows. Today, most movies, television game shows, documentaries and dramas shown in Africa are produced in Hollywood or Beverly Hills. They do not reflect African tastes, values and culture. Information technology will enable African producers to enrich our lives by weaving our glorious history, legend and folklore into movies.

The African Cyber Corridor could be the technological capital of the continent, the regional headquarters of major infotech companies, and a source of cheap labor that could draw jobs away from California’s Silicon Valley. Other nations want to build their technological city. India has built its Information Technology Park. Egypt is building its Pyramid Technology Park. Israel, Taiwan and many other nations are planning to build their technology cities.

We must connect major cities to the Internet with at least a 10-gigabyte digital optical fiber backbone which would simultaneously allow us to place more reliable telephone calls and avoid Nigeria’s unreliable telephone system. Ten gigabytes would allow us to e-mail a copy of the Nigerian national anthem to every African by the time you say “Arise, O compatriots.”

We Africans were the first to enter the Agricultural Age. The first to build in stones. The first to pioneer in technology. The Greeks learned our technology and taught it to the western world. Two thousand years later, the West is leaving us behind as it prepares to enter the Information Age and the third millennium. We must hurry to enter the Information Age.

Let us not be the last country to live in the Agricultural Age and poverty. We must soar with the wind of good fortune, like the eagle, to where the real wealth of nations is. We must adopt a quantum-leap strategy to catch up with Europe.

Ladies and gentlemen, we must ensure that Nigerian children are properly educated. When we invest in our children, we will find that our standard of living grows, too. We should invest in education and technology not because it is easy, but because our children will be the beneficiaries tomorrow of the decisions, we adults, make today. Investing in education and technology will be our legacy to our children; because it will bring the best out of them as well as all Nigerians and enable us to reach our potential as individuals, as communities, as a nation.

Thank you very much.

The Abuja Technology Village was first conceived by Philip Emeagwali in this 40-page speech delivered in August 1997 in New York City. Emeagwali named it the "African Cyber Corridor" and envisioned it as a 300-square-mile African Silicon Valley.[color=#000099][/color]
BusinessWhy I Failed As A Student And Succeeded As An Entrepreneur by buemene(op): 12:06am On Sep 27, 2014
According to my high school report card, I shouldn’t be where I am today. My college GPA will concur. Ask around among my teachers and former classmates and they’ll probably recall me as a below average student, at best, and “that kid with learning disabilities,” at worst.

Schools are built to cater to one specific type of student. For the rest of the world – the creative thinkers, the talented artists, the energetic athletes – sitting at a desk for hours on end, memorizing lists and analyzing information in a test taking format doesn’t necessarily compute with our skill set.

Personally, I found the theoretical nature of school studies antithetical to my own way of thinking. Who cares if Adam has ten green apples and Sarah has four less? The main question is, could Adam get Sarah to buy those apples off of him for more than he paid? Now that’s my kind of thinking.

The covert information that no one tells you as you suffer through years of feeling second class is: succeeding in business requires completely different areas of proficiency than succeeding in school. Most of the information that you learn in school is entirely irrelevant when you go out into the real world. I don’t even use half the stuff I learned in my business marketing class and I spend all day marketing my businesses.

To succeed as an entrepreneur, you need to know how to market yourself and your product. You have to be able to sell. It’s important to be able to manage, so you can keep your burgeoning business afloat. You need people skills because there’s a lot of interpersonal interaction. Honesty, integrity and creativity are all major pluses. When was the last time your school tested you on how to give a firm handshake and a genuine smile? Believe it or not, lots of valedictorians can’t pull off these two crucial components of a business deal.

To those out there who think success in school is a measure of future accomplishment, I am here to say, it is NOT.
Don’t look at your grades, your test scores, or your teachers’ opinions.

Don’t focus on your learning disabilities or your inability to remember immaterial dates and numbers. Not everyone is cut out for success in school and that’s okay: it’s not a true measure of what you can achieve.

If you’ve got drive, creativity, motivation, passion and the ability to push up your sleeves and get to work, then come join the Entrepreneur’s Club. We’ll be happy to have you and we don’t need your SAT scores to let you in; we know you can succeed no matter what number the College Board gave you.

I certainly did.

Felt like sharing with all entrepreneurs out there. It motivated me. To Read more at http://under30ceo.com/failed-student-succeeded-entrepreneur/#mmYiQkz8SGJUuoEp.99
