daremum:

oloriTj:
thanks dear I've read all that but currently I'm not working, I don't know if that will pose as a barrier.

Mavor:
What timeline am I looking at please?

daremum:
Dear All,
Good Morning,
A quick one!
For a medical centre in Nigeria with no group email whilst the head of the department provides his or her personal email on the reference letter,could this be an issue for the Verification officer?
Please can someone with such experience relate this to us all.

Thank you.

Thanks bro. You are too much!!!

I think my best option is to focus on Australian Pr. If I manage to score 8, 8, 8, 8 in ielts. I won't need experience points to shoot past the required 60 points

DatechMan:
Sorry guys. I should have updated you since.
I tried calling them yesterday but wasted #900 without success. I was on hold for about 50 minutes.
I got a mail that I have an update in my account this morning.
Voila. The PPR mail was sent into my account. Thank you Lord
Here is my timeline.
AOR - 21 Sept
Medical Passed - 29 Sept
NA2 - 06 Oct
IP2 - 16 Oct ( That's when I checked)
PPR - 20 Oct
Single applicant. No travel history.
My application was not flawless but it can only be God. Thank you Lord.
1. There is a discrepancy in DOB on my ECA. I obtained an Attestation of Birth Certificate from NPC and attached an LOE.
2. 2 million was transfered into the POF account as gift deed a day before submission.

It can only be God.
I thank all the Nairaland family for their contributions. I salute you all. The names are too numerous to mention.
My special appreciate goes to elfmann for his personal contribution.

Thank you all

@cochtrane, I look forward to the attachment. Thanks.

daniella04:
. You are confusing us the silent readers here o. Someone said Wes evaluates ACCA and ICAN and you are saying they don't evaluate professional certificates please which one should we take.

manlikegb:
@cochtrane, thanks for your contribution on this topic. I hold the same opinion with you but this recent reply(find attached from 6days ago) I got from tweeting at IRCC is casting doubt on that opinion. Of course they(IRCC twitter handler) can make mistakes while giving answers to queries too which could be misleading to applicants. That’s why I’m keen on contributions from anyone in the house who has combined different NOCs before to clear the smoke. This will be very much appreciated.

daremum:
Please House,
what do i need to do?

Please respond!!!!

Don't mean to draw anyone back. Congrats to everyone who made the points. I keep scoring low in my ielts listening practice . I am beginning to think there's cotton wool in my ears. Please how can i improve my score. Thanks.

elfmann:
Read merrymum's. I know u r good, let IRCC do their thing. IRCC said primary NOC but the tweet said one NOC... Sb used different NOCs and was successful... You have three years no matter how it is recalculated.

Looked in detail into this foreign work experience stuff and found some things:

Apparently, CIC allows (or should allow) the use of foreign work experience (outside Canada) in one or more occupations listed in Skill Type 0, A or B. This means, you could effectively combine different NOCs in your application. This justifies merrymum's application which combined work experience in finance and oil&gas. This is acceptable as long as it

1. consists of full-time work experience
2. is acquired within the 10-year period preceding application
3. paid, etc.

So, if you've got 3 years of such various NOCs (0, A & B only), you can get the maximum points for express entry and obtain a decent CRS score. This is according to the ministerial instruction for the express entry application system. According to the document, under "Foreign Work Experience":

25 (1) For the purposes of sections 23 and 24, foreign work experience is work experience that

(a) is acquired by a foreign national outside Canada in one or more occupations listed in Skill Type 0 Management Occupations or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification matrix;

Now, for the different schemes under EE, other conditions apply.

https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/10/20/IMG_0592.jpg

However, to qualify for PR under the Federal Skilled Worker program, you would need only one primary NOC and you'll make sure to have at least 1 year on this NOC, which should be 0, A or B. And of course, it must meet all the other FSW requirements as below. In the same vein, you can combine NOCs here to complete 1 year. However, they must all be in the same NOC.

https://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/10/20/IMG_0593.jpg

This would be what that IRCC tweet meant. The answer was posed wrongly and should have referred to the FSW program.

[imghttps://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/10/20/IMG_0594.jpg[/img]

To qualify for PR under the Federal Skilled Trades program, your work experience would need to meet a separate list of requirements, including that it should be 2 years and should be within 5 years of application, not 10.

On the other hand, to qualify for PR under the Canadian Experience Class, the requirement for work experience is that it must be 1-year and be obtained within three years of application.

As you'll see, all of these different work experiences are all subset of the work experience required under express entry, which in itself has no limit on the number of NOCs you can combine.


So, as an example, let's say Bisi has 2-year work experience as a paid teacher and 1-year as a banker with GTB, all within 10 years of applying under FSW through Express Entry. Bisi should sure be able to claim maximum score for experience under Express Entry (3 years of experience), thereby boosting her CRS score. But in order to qualify for PR under FSW, she will only be able to use one NOC, either as a paid teacher (and claim 2 years) or as a banker (and claim 1 year). If any of these is unable to elevate her above the required 67pts under FSW, she may remain ineligible for FSW even though she may have high CRS score.

If the same Bisi has 5-month experience each as a paid teacher, banker, engineer & lawyer, she will have a sum of 1 year & 8 months experience in different NOCs which she can use to obtain a good CRS score under express entry, but will remain ineligible for PR under FSW as she doesn't have the required minimum of 1 year in any NOC, i.e. she has no primary NOC.

Similarly, if Bisi has 2-month experience each as an accountant with KPMG, E&Y, Deloitte, Firstbank, GTB & Stanbic (wow, Bisis must be one brilliant chic, lol!), she would have raked in 1-year experience in a primary NOC (accountancy) and should thus be eligible to combine these NOCs towards PR under the FSW scheme.

In the case of merrymum, my good guess is that while the sum of different NOCs boosted her CRS score under express entry, only one of the NOCs was sufficient to ensure she got the necessary score above 67 which she needed under FSW. Let's look at it: she has a 2.5-year experience as an engineer. This means she could have gotten for FSW, with CLB 9, 24pts on language, 21 pts for Education (let's say she has only Bachelor's), 11 pts for work experience, and 12pts for Age (I'm sure she is between 18-35). This would have taken her FSW score to 68/100 and would have qualified her neatly with only one job experience. She can come and clear this; I could be wrong.

These are just findings from looking at the details. We needed to clear this as it is causing too much confusion. Anyways, who knows, I may be wrong.

Good day house, please i need an insight about this.
During filling your express entry profile, you indicated that you are married but your wife is not travelling with you Immediately. Will this have impact on getting PR after getting your ITA?

Newmum0615:
Dear People,

Please is there a validity period for employment reference letters? Can I start gathering them pending when I submit my EE application? Or do they frown at employment letters obtained over a period of time? Thanks

linaluv:
Hello guys please someone was telling me today that without any university education one can still apply for canadian PR, or any of the CANADIAN MIGRATION PROGRAM only if he secures a job over there from nigeria e.g construction job. please how true is it. my brother did a one year part time program at LAGOS STATE POLY. but he left the school during Year 2 first semester exam

please guys explain better to me if he stands a chanceof being selected

GlitteringStar:
Yes! WES evaluated @Tolurigs, @Bimpsy99 and Gustalnov's National Diploma's certificates as "2 years Diploma". @Beyunce evaluated her BSc and National Diploma's certificates also and she got points for two or more certificates (She got her COPR last year)

jovykay:
Hello everyone,

Please i have two questions.

1. I GOT MY U.K POLICE CERTIFICATE IN FEBRUARY AHEAD OF I.T.A WHICH I EVENTUALLY GOT IN THE LAST DRAW. BUT WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY ITA. I VISITED THE U.K FOR 5 DAYS LAST MONTH . DO I NEED TO GET A NEW POLICE CERT, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT IT WAS JUST A SHORT VISIT.

2. HOW DO I REDUCE FILE SIZE OF PDF DOCUMENTS. MY PASSPORT TRAVEL PAGES MAKE UP 8MB AND WE R ONLY ALLOWED TO UPLOAD 4MB. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY APP OR METHOD THAT CAN ASSIST WITH REDUCING THE SIZE.

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. THANKING YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.

GlitteringStar:
I wish you the best!

dombosco:
@GlitteringStar thanks for this. That means a Unilag diploma and a Unilag B.Sc will count as two or more certificates. Am actually waiting for @Cutegu201 who is verifying these two certs with WES. Let’s wait for his evaluation result.
