Dear Brethren,

...for the Egyptians [BC and IELTS] whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
The day has come for us to be set free from these Egyptians. They have somehow given me some sort of mixed feelings though. Nevertheless, I am extremely grateful to God that my morale didn't wane down to a nadir.

L - 8
R - 9
W - 7
S - 8.5

I'm considering a remark in the W, I need that 3 points badly. What do you, my e-family think?
On a lighter note, someone here was touched to give me a hug the last time while I was seemingly downcast. Now is the perfect time, with all the RED theme everywhere. Shall we pick a rendezvous already?

Na your type ndi Igbo call Isi aki

I knew you went ahead to take the test. As you come dey silent on Feb 1st lol. Congratulations. To be honest, I know that 3 points makes a difference for your CRS but I honestly won't bother. I believe you'll get ITA with 427. It might be later in the year, but it'll happen. Congrats again.

Good morn house. I woke up to this result from ielts and I am so sad. Iistening 8.5,speaking 7.5,reading 6.5,writing 6.5. am 37. Hubby not writing ielts. And intended to go thru province.( Ontario) this is so disheartening.i calculated my score and I am still at 357 even with a sibling in Canada.

Pele.

But don't be sad, coz even if you get 9999 you would still need PNP coz of age and no spouse IELTS. Just see it as you've gotten the basic requirement to pursue PR which is a language test. You'll be fine. Look into other provinces not just Ontario. All the Indians are headed there already

CanadianNurse:
Please any advice on what part time jobs to apply for as an undergraduate student in Winnipeg, I’ve been having problems getting a job in Winnipeg and condition don dey get critical ooo

Lol

Well try by registering with agencies. Try Pinnacle on Graham ave. they are usually quick in helping students from what I've seen, compared to other agencies. Don't just register with them and disappear, hound your rep by calling them every week and reminding them you are still out of work. They'll find you something.

FBI has started processing PCC electronically.
Don't have the link right now but please read about FBI eDO.
It takes 48 Hours from when your finger prints gets to them.
They launched it on the 2nd of Feb, 2018.

The days of 12 - 15 weeks are over.

Thank you.

You see this God in heaven? He doesn't disappoint His people.

He knows I'm going to need a brand new FBI PCC as I'm due to be in the U.S soon, and I was worrying about having to wait another 15 weeks for a new PCC since the one I have now will be invalid. But Jehovah had other plans for me
My husband would love this news. Oga almost canceled the trip because of PCC. Best news yet.

mrfixer111:


Can i apply to the same province with a different NOC if they had declared my previous application ineligible? If my NOC was removed from the province list can i choose a different NOC and re-apply?

Search for the PNP thread. They would be in a better position to answer you. I'm not PNP routes so I don't know the answer.

gbemiigbal:
Please i am a Project Management Assistant and perform most of the duties under SINP code 1122 Professional occupations in business management consulting. Can i use the code during my application when SINP OID finally opens? I manage different projects and activities for a big NGO in Nigeria.

You mean you're a project assistant? Then you don't manage the projects, you ASSIST the Project Manager who writes proposals, deals with grants, work plans and budget for the project. Make sure your reference letter tallies at least 70% with the NOC you're selecting.

Ekinado:
Good morning House

please what kind of drugs should I buy when travelling, am traveling next week

thanks

Pure white cocaine, newly cooked Methamphetamine and harvested marijuana.

School admission is not the same thing as applying for TRV and Study permit. Two different people deal with them.

School admission and acceptance - the school has approved your intent to be their student, either as an international student or local student. When you register for your classes/credits and your tuition is calculated, then one changes their status to PR with the school. Note: some schools won't allow you be enrolled or might ask you to wait for next session. They have slots for international students and slots for local student. My advise to anyone is to make sure he/she can change their status. I have friends who the school no gree them pay local student fee after becoming PR until their program was completed because they took the slot for international student and local student slot was full.

TRV and study permit - you apply to IRCC for visa using your school admission letter. IRCC can deny ones application based on PR application.

Make we no dey confuse ourselves.

DrDauda:


I rewrote it but my score in listening fell to 6.5. Writing ielts from my location which is australia is much more difficult than writing it in nigeria. And my spouse is in Nigeria

I aced IELTS though using Australian study materials not British ones. You should look for E2 Language and listen to Jay on YouTube.

If you are referring to cost, well I promise you the cost you'll pay for IELTS is cheaper and easier than going through PNP. So give it another shot. And your wife can take hers in Nigeria, then una go add am for your profile. Doesn't matter where she dey.

Ofifi:
Good morning and congratulations to all those that received ITAs..it will all end in praise for every single one of us in this journey together. Please I need help with obtaining police report from the US.

1.How does one get the money order
2. What's the best way to send it to the US?
3. Can I do the fingerprinting on my own or I have to go to a nearby police station?

Please help.... [color=#990000][/color]

If I understand you correctly, you are try to do the FBI PCC from Nigeria? To answer your questions:

1) The money order that they accept is usually done in the U.S at the post office or gas station. You are better off filling your card information on the Credit card form, and they'll charge it when they're ready to process your application.

2) I used DHL to send mine. I was sending for hubby and my self so I got two envelopes and sealed our forms separately then put the two envelopes in one DHL Envelope to save cost. So I sent two applications with one DHL transaction. FedEx I found was terrible service.

3) We did our fingerprinting ourselves. Hubby did mine, by holding my fingers and doing it correctly using an ink pad not pen oh, and I did his too. I should also tell you that we sent 6 sets of fingerprint cards each. So 12 in total. I took a cue from bbaby84's experience and advise not to send 1 set, in case they can't lift all the prints properly, they can have 5 more to try
I should also advise that when you print the fingerprint card, you should print it on hard paper, like cardboard not regular printing sheets. In fact read the FBI website and follow their advise to the T.

DrDauda:


I had L7. S.8.5. W. 7. R.9

Na you be the problem sir, not wifey.

You need to get a minimum of 8 in Listening to get above 400 in your CRS. To maximize your score, you should retake IELTS and aim for at least:

L - 8.5
R - 8
W - 7.5
S - 7.5

This will give you 128 points for Language skills and increase your skill transferability.

@Jbaby09

You've got the nerve sha. Na me carry my Christian mind answer your dumb question when every other person made the good choice and ignored your ass. Tomorrow you'll have another dumb question, and I'll take your advice to waka and pass.

Jbaby09:
@canadianfly

Thanks for responding but for some weird reason I knew you’ll give a harsh response. But you’ve sha pointed me the right direction. So thank you

How you take know I go answer tax evasion kweshun? I pay my taxes.

So you know I'm harsh meaning you know the thread, so why you no dey read? No one responded to you, I did. Now you're complaining about how the response came. Come dey ask us tax evasion question?

Jbaby09,

No one answered you because this same case, in fact 3 of them was dealt with less than 8 pages behind. Go back and see their response. Check bigfido's post. Good luck.

Newmum0615:
Chai. Before I start to read this your response,
lemme drink cold water first. I am not feeling very well plix

Lmao. That was my exact thought too. I'm like this lonnnng post this morning.

Happytbaby, no go fear Guitarlife abeg. To be honest, I see your point. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer....I think it's subjective and heavily depends on the VO. However from the snapshot of CIC rules on TB etc, it would take an extra wicked VO to deny him based on this.

Newmum0615:
You want to meet all of them? You have satisfied conditions for one naa. That is enough. Are you a PNP candidate or skilled trader or do you work in Canada? This thread is kuku for Federal Skilled Workers and we say congrats for being in the pool. Stop worrying for nothing.

Lmao @ you want to meet all of them. . Everyday new something. LOL!

Just amazed how someone will click on a thread and see 200+ pages, and have balls to post on the last page asking for "urgent help". Like what did you think is being discussed in the last 200 pages you passed to post on the last page? I usually read at least 10 pages into a thread I meet to see what's up. To see if the conversation interests me, or if I'll find answer to what I need. It takes massive balls to just stroll in and ask a redundant question. Oh well.

Ps: Elfman don go. Either dey ban am or he deleted his account.

Talkingboy:



@emancino or whatever you call urself...

Ain't this person human ?

What you'd av typed in a line , u wasted ur 10lines +
forming Mr know it all, Notice me!!!!

Lol he was even nice to you. I would have posted worse.

He didn't say anything wrong to you or claim to know it. He simply advised you to research yourself before running to ask questions. Then he addressed intending question askers.

You are the typical Nigerian. Ready to fight but can't channel that energy to research and finding things out for yourself.

Ovwe:
Hi everyone!!!

I'm new here. Pls I need to start off with my Canadian permanent residency visa.

What's the first step to take?

Thank you all in anticipation!!!!

You need to bring these items on your next post:

1) A white cock
2) The ear of a housefly
3) The liver of a bright blue snake
4) A cow with three eyes.

These items will help us help you. If you can't purchase them yourself, ask for our Financial Secretary's details, and you send him 2 milli. Thanks for your enquiry.

ysteph:
I just feel like flogging some people asking some kind questions here.
What is happening? Where did we get it wrong?

Please i encourage us to read, read and read. Others have stressed the need to read.
It makes it easier for one to even understand the process.

I'm just tired.

The thing is terrible. I would think that a major decision like relocation would be heavily researched before embarking on it.

Wiseoldman:
Good day house, please what countries do I need PCC from. I have visited various countries in recently for just short stay to work for my coy (less than a month at a time). Do i need to get PCC for these countries.

What does the CIC website say on PCCs? Go and have a look for yourself.

rolled:
Hello House
I just started this journey and I am getting discouraged already.
Few friends and Family have been saying I would never practice my profession when I get over there.
They said the best I would get are menial jobs.
Some say it takes years to work as an engineer or a medical doctor.They said it’s like going to the university again.
So my fears
This is a skilled entry program
So why would I not continue my profession over there?
Please can anyone shed more lights?
People that live Canada now through this program,how is life for you now?
How has it been in the past years
Thanks .

They're right. Please be very afraid and don't follow your dream. Less people in the pool the better sef for our brothers and sisters in the 430s.

Then come back and let us know how far.

alt3r3g0:


Does this mean technically no 13th month for the bi monthly?

Hahahaha Naija man.

What I know is, the grace they might give you during Christmas, includes bonuses, or getting paid earlier. So say the bi weekly (pay day) will fall after Dec 25th, you'll get paid earlier. Like 22nd or a week before Christmas. To allow you buy Christmas gifts for the kids and family. Oyibo is keen on Christmas gifts. Naija na solo train we dey ride.

honey86:

We get paid biweekly on a Wednesday. Regardless of what date it falls on. If the month has 5 weeks, you can get paid three times that month. We have 26 pay cycles.

So not Friday's for you? Oh ok. Yea my point was I have never seen the term bi-monthly in employment agreement. They usually tell you bi weekly. So I wondered where he got the bi monthly from.

AZeD1:

Most employers pay bi weekly, but I know some who is paid on 15th and 30th (hence my bi monthly). I also know someone who was paid monthly (Indian employer).

The friend with 15th and 30th payment is bi-weekly. There are two weeks apart, however you look at it. Except there's a month has 40 days it it but it's 14-15 days payment. The letter usually says: Salaries are paid bi weekly on the 15th and 30th of every month.
Monthly payment is common too, especially with non North American companies. However bi weekly is more what you see than weekly or monthly.

AZeD1:

If you use the term bi weekly for something that should be done twice a month, you'll run into trouble.

52 weeks in a year.

A Bi weekly event will occur 26 times.

Twice a month (12 months in a year)

A Bi Monthly event would occur 24 times.

All my Canadian employment letters have the term bi-weekly on them. Could do you a snapshot, but I risk disclosing the organization coz of the paper used. I have never come across an employment agreement with "bi-monthly" written on the contract. Not that it doesn't exist, but to the best of my knowledge, you'll be usually told bi-weekly. Because payroll is processed EVERY TWO WEEKS, every other Friday not twice in a month.

happytbaby:
Well, it can be used to mean both twice a week and every two weeks, it is an ambiguous phrase abi na word

see below:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biweekly may refer to occurring twice a week.[1][2] Due to this ambiguity, many style guides recommend to never use the term and to replace with unambiguous expressions.[3]

There are 52 full weeks in a year of 12 months (ISO 8601 defines a year as containing 52 or 53 weeks), making for a possible 26 or 104 biweekly events in a year. This is a greater number than if such events were held twice a month, because most months have more than four weeks (28 days).

In the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the term fortnightly is more commonly used for an event that occurs every two weeks. In the US, a biweekly publication is issued every two weeks and a bimonthly publication is issued every two months. New York State SNAP refers to a biweekly paycheck as every 2 weeks.[citation needed]

You probably missed his screen shot and my post. Hence this textbook.

AZeD1:

Some months have 5 weeks that's why you can't use bi weekly for something done twice a month.

Says who? That is the best time to use it, as an adverb. Regardless of whether a month has 5 weeks or 10 weeks in it, biweekly payment would be made every two weeks.

AZeD1:

I have a pretty good command of English......

That's wonderful. Bimonthly is usually used to mean every two months. But I see it also means every two weeks, like biweekly. Any which ways, you're saying the same thing. Getting paid every two weeks.
An event of getting paid weekly that is every Friday, is usually if contracted under an agency like Ranstad etc. But direct employment under an organization would most likely be biweekly. Every two weeks.

AZeD1:

Twice a month

Twice a month = biweekly.
Bimonthly = every two months/every 8 weeks. Which is impossible.

English na the problem here.
