50something:
I just finished reading this thread after 3days.

I want to enter the pool, but I want to be clear on some things before I start the process.

I currently work in the Finance department of a bank, it can be said that we perform accounting functions. Having gone through the NOC, my job function falls between two different unit groups (1431 and 1311). That is where it got tricky for me, non of the roles have all that I do. So I am confused on which to pick, not knowing if there are benefits for picking any particular role.

Please help with assistance, as I am going to pay for ielts today, so that I can finally start this process.

Hello Everyone

Please I need some help concerning my application for an Canadian express entry.
I submitted my profile on the 21st of sept 2016. The profile score is 426.
My job changed in November 2016 to a higher role.
I'm aware that I need a higher score to get an ITA but I don't know what to do now. Do I withdraw my application and reapply so that my current role can contribute to increasing my score, cos my understanding is that it's my experience as at the time of applying that counts. In summary I'm looking for ways to boost my score. I have a UK masters degree and a Nigerian Bsc. I was also a finance officer for 3 yrs, 1 yr customer service agent, 2 yrs was a credit controller/customer relationship manager. I'm now 5 months on my current job as the Head of customer service. My IELTS score is 8.

You only get points for accompanying spouse if it is a canadian experience,if you include naija experience in work history,you wont get any point yet the check list will demand for a reference letter,that is why most people move it to personal history

Check the year written on his certificate to confirm the actual award year.
If WES is wrong, then get them to amend it.

temitope06:


It ain't relevant, only your hubby's NOC is important.

temitope06:


If you're claiming points for it, then it matters if not it doesn't.

Beem4cupid:
Another alternative apart from the earlier adviced is to open a USD account, fund it via parallel market and get a debit card on the account.

Hello House, I must commend everyone on this forum. good job so far. congrats to everyone that has received ITA. So I need your advice, I already paid an agent prior to finding this forum and I am so pained... so I have written IELTS twice, the first was L-6.5 W-7 S-7 R-6.5 and gave me a CRS score of 362 and the second was L-8 S-7.5 W-6.5 R-6 which gave me 373. I was really upset because I prepared unlike the first one that i didnt. I thought of asking for a remark for the writing but then again, the reading is absolute and wont get me to 400. please what do you advise I do house? Also, my agent told me to apply for jobs that asides provinces, that's the only option we have except i re-write ielts and I do not have that extra cash. he said no province is opened at the moment. I am 27, single, with 5 years work experience, my NOC is in HR and Banking but I am using the 6235 to apply. Please does anyone know anybody that got this PR from getting a job whilst in Nigeria because all the ones I have seen, the caveat is to be in Canada already. Also, my POF is not complete yet, but would be by march. All advise is welcome. Thank you in advance and sorry for the long read.

The limitation placed on Nigeria cards will not allow you to pay such an amount. The available options to you are; get someone outside Nigeria to pay for you or get someone with a Dom account to pay with their card.

my questions are
1) do i need to renew this passport?
2) if yes, at what point shld i renew it and can ma passport be changed after already submiting an application??
3) what is d time limit b4 one can apply for passport renewal with naija immigrations?

Secondly, pls has anyone who used LOE for large deposits from spouse plsss kindly post a sample here?

@ dupyshoo..vcole..and other gurus in da house.

dupyshoo:
You can put in a future date as the expiry date of the passport, since you have plans to renew his passport soon. Once you get the new passport, you will put in the details after ITA.

Thanks dupyshoo, I was really worried, I thought it would pose a problem.

Chinnie4Jesus:
Good Morning guys, Congrats to those that got ITA and PPR. Please can the gurus help me out here. My international passport has expired and I am in the pool. I have gone for another one, done everything but each time I call, they keep saying they Dnt have booklets on ground and they Dnt know when they will get. Please can I still use my old one and maybe attach an LOE with copy of the processed fee for this new one (I'm quite hopeful that the next ITS won't pass me by).

Secondly, does express entry require having a proof of license for your profession. The way it is a requirement for provincial nomination. Thanks.
