EJIZY:
Wow this your score is wonderful ....you really deserve it. Your contributions have been immensely helpful especially the way you itemized various parts of this thread.

40manlappy:
Speechless. Some peeps would give "an arm and a leg" for this kind of result....

Congratulations bro

Thanks

bigfido:
For the dude that passed the ielts that is complaining bitterly, please be thankful to God.

Happy for you. Congrats! ITA sure for you in the next round.
No vex, if it sounds like I was making light of what others go through.

MRSDA:
Please help a sister. I still didn't find a sample self employed reference letter.

He's married oh.

Lool. I'm not married oh. Applying as single applicant.

Hephgirl:
what materials did u use...

I used www.mini-ielts.com for my reading and listening practice. For writing, I used ieltsliz. And for speaking, I did my own little exercises at home and used YouTube a lot.
Of course, I also used some of my own tricks

In some hours, I'll share a more detailed post on tips for attacking the different test components.

MRSDA:
I wonder what it is with the writing. I scored, 9, 8, 8.5 and then 7 in writing. I graduated top of my class in English literature and I know I write very well. I didn't even know it was possible to contest but thankfully it was OK to apply so I didn't bother my head about it.

This is another evidence they are just doing their own thing. You don't graduate tops in English Lit and then get a 7. Good thing you met the requirement.

Wura27:
Funny enough, I FEEL YOU ON THIS!

I know I spoke better than my nonsense examiner who was combining British and Yankee accent. I was tempted to ask for a remark in Speaking just for my own self esteem but thank God i did not cos I got my ITA less than a week after I entered the pool.

My friend, God pass them. Enter the pool sharp sharp! You have the highest points obtainable for each

Sure, will be entering the pool now. I got my ECA already.

Osemigho:
I will roll on the floor to thank you God If you get me this score.

You can actually get it. It's not difficult.

ferfer:
At least we should console ourselves that they plough some of our lucre back to the society.......

Yeah, I agree. That's the good part.

elfmann:
See score, see rant. I know many folks will want to fall inside this septic tank. Hahaha. Congratulations ojare.

E no good na. To get a feedback that clearly doesn't reflect one's ability.
I got still take the dive any which way sha.

ken4jj:
Please guys. Is it compulsory that you must have the required POF before entering the pool? Will not having the required funds in your account stop stop you from getting ITA?

Nope. It won't stop you. But you need to make sure you have the POF and a good justification for any lump transfer by the time you are applying

Haba! Una too worry for this Canada thing sef. This thing is for the patient, not for those who hurry

Ehrnie:
Of course not....it is not an issue. The issue is if the USA visa expires and you haven't used it at all....and that's issue with your subsequent USA visas and not CAN visas.

You mean if I have a US visa I didn't use at all for 2 years, then it'll be a problem getting renewal?

depair:
Explicit
concise
informative
Thanks so much
even though WES will still send back for verification) pls throw more light

You've received enough information to make a decision already. Do that.

This pool is looking attractive to dive into now.

bigbroda:
Guys, expect lower cut off marks in subsequent draws.


Salam!

True.

Congrats to everyone who got ITA. Best of luck on your application.

I keep wondering why there's such proliferation of beauty pageants in Nigeria when STEM gets so little attention. Is there any reason we shouldn't be in the bottom 10 least developed countries in the world?

They got him nice and easy

fafizle:

Congratulations to all the new ITA recipients (Dammiehar, XX01,yimiton et al )

@yimiton, hope you have not yet paid for the IELTS exams you registered for?

Foreign nationals who, on August 9, 2017, at 12:15:03 UTC, have been assigned a total of 433 points or more under the Comprehensive Ranking System that is set out in the Ministerial Instructions Respecting the Express Entry System, as published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on December 1, 2014, and as amended from time to time, occupy the rank required to be invited to make an application for permanent residence.

Wow. Nice!

If there's gonna be another this month, we could be looking at 420. And even further drop.

Na wa. Reckless opulence is what will make anyone pick this up.

Use Google. It could be cancer or ulcer or anything. Could be TB or cirrhosis. Go do a complete checkup, not just tests.

Sometimes I don't know if the posts on Nairaland are to be read or to simply be hurriedly commented on. Some don't even read before typing "g".

It's not porn. It's just some movie. Heck, he could even be editing a documentary.

dupyshoo:
Yes, I agree with you. There should be some sort of restrictions. Some countries like UK are being flooded cos of job opportunities.

exactly

dupyshoo:
This is unlike EU citizens that can pack their bags and work in any EU countries without the need for visa. This is my definition of easy to visit and work

Of course if this is the definition you mean, that's a world of difference, which to mind is even unsustainable. No wonder we had Brexit and the growing cracks in the EU. Many more will likely come. It's just not practical to create such migration scenarios where someone can just pack their bags and up to another country.

dupyshoo:
Not correct. You can easily visit but not easy to work.

I cautiously disagree with you. Canadians enjoy a lot of visa privileges with the US. NAFTA makes sure of this. Perhaps the only the difficult part is to first get a job in the US, but that itself shouldn't pose that much difficulty if you can easily travel to the country in your scouting for a job or maybe even create one. Some Canadian Silicon Valley tech founders have been known to use their own company to apply for a H1-B visa for themselves. This can eventually go on to earn them a permanent residency. Now sef, Canadian startup founders only need to meet some criteria to enter parole for up to 2 years in the US.

Furthermore, it may not be easy to get a job in the US for a Canadian for the simple reason that US citizens are competing for the same jobs. But it doesn't mean settling in to work in the US is difficult once that job is obtained.

XX01:
Nigerian root wetin? All of these things we are doing is to remove limitations from my kids. Nigerian passport is the least valuable, I will glady drop it for them. Most of our kids will hardly identify with Naija anyways and their kids will do same.

Haha. Abeg o. We need some patriotism.

elfmann:
That's d thing. Dilemma? Want to get away from Nigerian system but still want some nigerianness.

Right? They just can't get over Nigeria, lol. It's a great country anyways.

elfmann:
I know but I'm highlighting it mainly on d double taxation aspect. Many folks don't know this..well when these american born kids with Canadian citizenship are hit with the reality, some would renounce their Us citizenship. Haba! Again, it depends on where u live and make cash.

even if you live abroad, you may still be subjected to tax on foreign earned income. Just not wise to maintain citizenship of Canada and US. What's the benefit in the long run when you can already easily live and work in both countries with one citizenship?
Acquisition to no end.
