I would advise that you search LinkedIn, Glassdoor, indeed.ca, eluta.ca etc and other job boards to see which jobs are more in demand for someone with your skillset in your destination city. That is how you determine what is in demand and align yourself and your job search in that direction. You then ask your relatives and friends in that city to link you up with working professionals in that field so that you can start networking and establishing your launch base. You can also identify any immigrant assistance agency in your destination that works to help newcomer professionals in your field to get integrated. With all the above coming together for you, you can focus on hitting the ground and start running. All the best ahead.[/quote]

Hello everyone. My first time of posting here. I am awaiting PPR. I intend to land in Manitoba with 3kids and spouse unaccompanying. I have B.sc in accounting and MSc risk management and insurance. I haven’t worked in any organization after my NYSC except the bank job I did during IT

I applied as self employed cos I have a poultry farm I run. However, I wouldn’t want to go into business for obvious reasons when I get to Canada. My problem is, where do I start from without relevant work experience. In my case, I av to start CPA from scratch as I don’t Av ICAN or ACCA. I learnt about a short course in payroll accounting that one can quickly get a job with. I am thinking in that direction cos CPA might take a long time to conclude and I need to start earning ASAP in order to pay bills.

Now, my question is, whether payroll accountant is high in demand or is their any other career pathway I can explore that can quickly open doors for me? Pls, am open to any suggestions, advice, opinions etc. pls help!!!

Congrats sis. So happy for u. May Canada favour u.

Celebrating little victories. . . .

My efamily,

Join me to thank God oooooo!

I just collected my IELTS results. I wrote on 17th August with MOD.

I have been afraid about the bad experiences from many previous test takers. And that's one of the reasons I have hindered my spouse to come to this Nairaland group as she would be also writing this Saturday.

This is my first and last attempt oooo!

L : 8

R: 7.5

W: 7.0

S: 7.5

Overall band 7.5

I think the statement of results or certificates(as the case may be) for both M.sc and PhD can be faxed to them. They have received transcripts from school. For the PhD confirmation, I don't know about that.

Alosezele:
Pls elders in the house, I have some questions pls concerning my Wes verification.
1. Pls what’s the difference between doctorate degree confirmation and statement of result of doctorate degree and also doctorate degree transcript? Cos they don’t seem to knw at the pg sch
2. Is it possible for Wes not to receive my PhD and Masters statement of result, but saw my B.Sc certificates, when all of them were in the same envelop I sent to them?
Below was wat I saw in my profile. Although I knw I was supposed to verify only my PhD, but I learnt this after I had sent all.
Pls what do I do to rectify this cos I don’t wish to process verification for my Bsc alone wen they claim not to have seen statement of my other results. That would mean paying several times for courier. Pls I need advice on d fastest thing to do to complete this never ending process.
God bless u guys oo

Tnx a lot

[1quote author=MumofTwins2017 post=81566020]Let me answer to the best of my knowledge. My case is ‘almost’ on all four with yours. Using 1 year NYSC and 2 years as a Self employed business owner. The only difference is my Company was registered from inception. Because i am still in the process of gathering, perfecting and submitting my documents after getting ITA, i can only make speculations.
I think it’s best to use the years after the company was registered because you would have to submit CAC documents and tax clearance certificates for the company even if it had been in existence before proper incorporation. Am not sure an LOE would be sufficient. Proving Self employment as a work experience isn’t easy as a paid employment so it’s best to perfect all your documentations.[/quote]

Tnx for taking out time to respond. I appreciate.

CaptainAfrica:
I’m a new person here who has been reading posts but your post interests me so let me try and give advice based on my knowledge of business management.

If a business is not registered, it is not a separate legal entity from the owner hence I think you can use your National ID card or international passport in lieu of the CAC registration documents you didn’t have that time as long as your ID or Passport was valid during that period. You can explain this in the LOE. But I’m not sure if this will be acceptable to the VO though.

Yes, the company was Registered DEC 2018 but it has been in existence before then. That is why I am confused. As for the corporate account it will be opened soon. I have been using my personal account all this while. I just hope the explanation will suffice. Tnx a lot.

Iwinosified:
It is important the company is registered because one of the documents you'll have to submit is the CAC certificate. Also, a corporate account is highly necessary as you will have to show evidence of cash flow. However, since you have other forms of evidence to show the business has long existed, you could include them and ensure to write an explanation.

Thanks for your response. I have researched before asking for advice. Its just that my case is different from other self employed persons here. Tnx once again

Asetime:
Hi, I advice you try to make research yourself. There have been some success stories shared by some self employed persons here. Recently, big bros Topsmamen shared some of them.I suggest you type "self employed Topsmamen" on the search bar above.

Pls someone should assist with this question. Can I claim points for work experience(self employed) even when d company has not been registered and no corporate account? Pls, your response will help in making decisions. I have other evidences to show d company has been in existence before it was registered.

bukky18:
Good evening all,

I am a self employed Poultry farmer. I have been running the business for more than 3yrs now but the business was officially registered on December 2018.

I use my personal bank account for transactions and even yet to open a corporate bank account after registering my business. However, I have evidences in form of regular cash outflows to known suppliers of birds and feeds to show that the business has been in operation way before the official registration.

Now, my question is, apart from my nysc experience, i don't have any other one except the poultry farm experience. Based on what I discussed above, will I be able to claim my 3yrs work experience from the poultry farm?

LONGEST POST ALERT...........PPR GIST PART2

Thanks my "DESTINAMBARI" for the Part1 of our story. Am glad i finally convinced you to come out of that shell.
Boss Ifeoma, if you looking for your number one fan, it's xplorezee i tell youuuuuu!

Ok my people, this is the REMIX..........

Decision to travel has been since after my OND days. Actually delayed HND for few years as man had to hustle. This was born out of the advise from one of my lecturers back in 2005 at MAPOLY, that as a prospective Engineer, it's really important one go in search of core practical experience. And today, i thank God i followed the beautiful and life saving advise. More so, I have always learnt from my DAD that a man needs to be self sufficient.The support of the wifey should only be an added point .
This two reasons really made me work hard to gain experience and at the same time gather some funds.
Fast forward to 2009 while i was contemplating on going for my HND, i actually calculated how much i have been able to save and decided to give YANKEE a try. I contacted some folks i believed could help but they all turned me down one by one.
Without wasting much time, i enrolled for my HND and continued working by the side. After completion of my HND+NYSC in 2012, I decided to reawaken the Yankee dream in me once again. With more links to the Creme de la Creme people, surprisingly, they all turned me down one after another despite having my fund to finance myself o! #WinkedWorld
It was here i forgo the dream and face naija hustling reloaded. With much experience in the bags already, i was changing one job for another in the Engineering/Telecomm Sector, not even the B.sc/M.sc holders could compete with me at interviews. But sincerely, i kept on thinking and reevaluating my OBODOYIBO dream because i saw a lot in the line of duty. Toured all the states in the entire Naija since 2009 but the merciful God has really protected me from some horrible accidents. Talk of Bike, Buses, Luxirous(Ezenwata, Agborfure and co.) etc, the nature of my job is one that exposed me to all this things. Likewise, the struggle for survival never seem to END.
2014 came and this boy decided to get married to Ma'am xplorezee .
My Golden Son arrived in 2015 and from the moment I saw him at the hospital, I just knew my boy & family doesn't deserve a life in Naija. The thing wey my wife eye see for labour room na him dey go for front so .
Codedly & Calculatively, I began to restrategise again. Found out about YANKEE Visa interview and noticed that we were gonna be qualified with luck on our side. Talk of the conditions such as home ties, savings etc, I have got it all. But one thing lead to another, the urge never materialise.

Fast forward to Feb. 2018, I was strolling on my FB page when I saw the status of my Surest BOSS from my former coy i had worked in 2016. He is "ebho" here on NL with the fastest PPR record ever liveth (i believe) The Holy Ghost just shine my eyes onto his DP & I observed that his Profile Picture no be for here. I clicked on his profile and voila, it reads Winnipeg, Manitoba. I buzz him immediately and my boss that never disappoints answered sharperly. I inquire about how he take do am and it was there he told me about Canada Express Entry.
See me see as I almost hit myself say where i dey since, but don't mind me, like have said, i was busy raking in Millions for Companys with peanuts in return as salary. Na so man begin with d mysterious & adventurous journey to Canny LAND

ECA: This was already set since July 2018. We used WES and thankfully, all this WAEC brouhaha hasn't started at the time. Transcripts processing were also easy 'cos being a popular figure Faculty Treasurer(OND) and Faculty President(HND), I was still recognised and had a breeze

Oct.27th '18: Aced IELTS on the 6th attempt. Wifey too wrote 4 times. I would say two or three major factors contributed to this. One was the believe that wifey would be the suitable Pry. Applicant due to her B.sc, hence my refusal to properly read, we were also looking at the PNP route at the time. So, I was just doing it for fun. ECA outcome came in after our 4th attempts and our eyes opened when we saw that with my WES conversion as 2 or more certs, CRS would be dancing between 441-450 with me as the P.A depending on IELTS. Na so i tell Madam say it's time to rest while i take charge. I took it the 5th time after thorough preparation but my overconfidence in "READING(my favourite)" earned me 6.5. I actually finished in 45mins but was just thinking about WRITING instead of make good use of the 15minutes left to go through my answers.
I immediately Reload and Refire in the next test of Oct.27th & had LRSW 8.5,7,7,7. CRS come siddon jejely for 444 .

MEDICALS: This was done UPFRONT in Nov.2018 at Q-Life. It was quite smooth as we got to V.I around 5:30am. Fnished well on time around 10:30am and had our PCC on same day with Inspector Moshood.

POF: Was also a breeze, as IELTS between myself & wifey don cost me about 1M+ coupled with some other unprofitable business i had dabbled into; I reached out to my Uncle in the U.S and he gracefully sent me some solid funds with gift deed. Another jolly childhood friend of mine also supported with some substantial amount.

REFERENCE LETTER: Was from my Supervisor on a plain paper, not notarized while i only attached his ID card. 6months payslips and printed Statement of Account. My Employment and Promotion letters were also inclusive while i had 2 NOCs.
COPR passports was at the famous Studio24.

ITA: Dived into the pool with a CRS of 444 in Nov 2018. Na here another hypertension start. Draws that were dancing btw 440 & 442 before we entered pool o, na so CRS shoot to 449 & 445 in two consecutive draws. Omo! See fear!
ITA finally landed gidigba on Dec.19th with CRS cut off 439 for the day. I carry many lucky people for back on this day .

AOR: Packaged all IRCC requirements and send am back to them on Dec.27th and got AOR. RPRF was also paid. No dulling at all as all documents don even ready since JUNE(lol).

MEP/BIL: Came in on Feb.7th 2019 and was done on the same day at VFS Lekki. After this, we were becoming restless awaiting PPR.

On Feb26th: My wife has been saying all day that "PPR must show today after another boss of mine in my current company got his PPR days earlier. At around 11:30pm while still busy with my second family(IELTS CLASS), na so the IRCC mail dropped o! Na him I said, "darling it's like he don show o".
We logged into our account with SPEED and unfortunately, it was an ADR(lol). The request was for why there was a difference in my name on my Boys birth certs and that of my Credentials. My people, this ADR na because of WASIU(present in all my official docs.)and ABDUL WASIU(on my Sons birth certificate o). So please, let's be careful.
Na so my wifey sprang the surprise by bringing out our Wedding Invitation of five(5) yrs ago. My God! I fear women that day 'cos i never believed she kept that single copy all along.
Low & behold! My name was written Abdul Wasiu on it and na so we scanned and write fews words join. We made it "back to sender" that same night .
Adebee dear, i thank you once again for your assistance on this night too. We began to wait again, especially as people were saying don't worry, your PPR will land in three days once they have verified the ADR response. Sleepless nights come start. Will finish with my IELTS people around 11pm and still wake up like 3x in between till day break to check for the Golden Mail. No be small thing at all.

March.29th: After vivi844's comment here on NL on d 28th, wifey decided to call IRCC on d 29th and we received yet another shocking news. The lady that answered said our PPR mail has been sent since March7th and we should have received it since then. We told her we received no such mail at all. Me that i have been checking my mail in & out(Spam o, Important o, Thrash o and even inside my phone jacket to see if he dey hide for there) every blessed day since the day we submitted their ADR. She assured us that she will contact the office in charge to issue us another one.
My people, na this particular waiting period come worse pass. In fact he for better if the lady hadn't told us anything like that. I begin to make a list of the people i have told about this to reason if any Village Pelson dey among them . Wifey was restless, Me the hubby was sleepless. Na so so checking of Inbox every hour for our Miracle Mail. At some point, i be dey think say whether na my IELTS Students take juju hold the thing say if wasseynewest don get PPR, it's bye-bye to tutorials .
We sent IRCC mail, Ralph goodale no carry last and also raised CSE. Two days after, CSE replied and add salt to our injury. Their mail reads we should wait till April 28th and contact them again if we no see anything. Chai! Which kin tin be this Fada Lord!
At this stage, wifey and i have zeroed our mind to the 28th and we were really getting over it.

On April9th: It was around 4:15am when i go "weewee", na him i just said make i check if my phone dey charge as the charger too don contact the IRCC virus and do misbehave at times. I looked at it, saw it's charging and was about to drop it na him i see the google mail alert. Honestly, I wasn't thinking about PPR cos i do wake up to like 5 mails daily. Na so the Holy Spirit told me to check and see the Joy that await my FAMILY. I opened true true only to see the IRCC mail. At that moment, my breath seized for a second for fear of another ADR. Again, the PPR mail wasn't on my mind at all. I summoned the courage and opened the mail. Wawuuuuuu!!! Finally, the Eagle has landed for my domot. I couldn't scream, I was speechless, I just smiled and whispered to the heaven & said "ALHAMDULILAH, God, you finally did this". Went straight up to Madam for room and said, "No shout o. It's like the Mail has entered. She replied asking me to "Say Walahi". I showed the mail to her and the feeling was like that of the very first time i met her at IKOTUN Bus Stop. She smiled at me like it was the very first day she said "Yes" to my toasting........

With Passports already at the VFS office, we have started packing to land "VERY HARD" in CANADA already.

In the end, ONLY GOD MADE IT POSSIBLE.

Same issue here. Was asked to try by friday.
